The patch titled
Subject: autofs: mount point create should honour passed in mode
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
autofs-mount-point-create-should-honour-passed-in-mode.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Ian Kent <raven@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: autofs: mount point create should honour passed in mode
The autofs file system mkdir inode operation blindly sets the created
directory mode to S_IFDIR | 0555, ingoring the passed in mode, which can
cause selinux dac_override denials.
But the function also checks if the caller is the daemon (as no-one else
should be able to do anything here) so there's no point in not honouring
the passed in mode, allowing the daemon to set appropriate mode when
required.
