Subject: autofs races
From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit ea01a18494b3d7a91b2f1f2a6a5aaef4741bc294 upstream.
* make autofs4_expire_indirect() skip the dentries being in process of
expiry
* do *not* mess with list_move(); making sure that dentry with
AUTOFS_INF_EXPIRING are not picked for expiry is enough.
* do not remove NO_RCU when we set EXPIRING, don't bother with smp_mb()
there. Clear it at the same time we clear EXPIRING. Makes a bunch of
tests simpler.
* rename NO_RCU to WANT_EXPIRE, which is what it really is.
