The patch titled Subject: autofs: use path_is_mountpoint() to fix unreliable d_mountpoint() checks has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is autofs-use-path_is_mountpoint-to-fix-unreliable-d_mountpoint-checks.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/autofs-use-path_is_mountpoint-to-fix-unreliable-d_mountpoint-checks.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/autofs-use-path_is_mountpoint-to-fix-unreliable-d_mountpoint-checks.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Ian Kent <ikent@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: autofs: use path_is_mountpoint() to fix unreliable d_mountpoint() checks If an automount mount is clone(2)ed into a file system that is propagation private, when it later expires in the originating namespace, subsequent calls to autofs ->d_automount() for that dentry in the original namespace will return ELOOP until the mount is umounted in the cloned namespace. Now that a struct path is available where needed use path_is_mountpoint() instead of d_mountpoint() so we don't get false positives when checking if a dentry is a mount point in the current namespace.
