The patch titled AUTOFS: Make sure all dentries refs are released before calling kill_anon_super() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is autofs-make-sure-all-dentries-refs-are-released-before-calling-kill_anon_super.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: AUTOFS: Make sure all dentries refs are released before calling kill_anon_super() From: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx> Make sure all dentries refs are released before calling kill_anon_super() so that the assumption that generic_shutdown_super() can completely destroy the dentry tree for there will be no external references holds true. What was being done in the put_super() superblock op, is now done in the kill_sb() filesystem op instead, prior to calling kill_anon_super(). This makes the struct autofs_sb_info::root member variable redundant (since sb->s_root is still available), and so that is removed. The calls to shrink_dcache_sb() are also removed since they're also redundant as shrink_dcache_for_umount() will now be called after the cleanup routine.
