From f354f4ffe6a371a4ae27a682cea56a7e4e1d74d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Kent Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2017 16:11:26 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] autofs: revert "autofs: fix AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT not being honored" commit 5d38f049cee1e1c4a7ac55aa79d37d01ddcc3860 upstream. Commit 42f461482178 ("autofs: fix AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT not being honored") allowed the fstatat(2) system call to properly honor the AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag but introduced a semantic change. In order to honor AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT a semantic change was made to the negative dentry case for stat family system calls in follow_automount(). This changed the unconditional triggering of an automount in this case to no longer be done and an error returned instead. This has caused more problems than I expected so reverting the change is needed. In a discussion with Neil Brown it was concluded that the automount(8) daemon can implement this change without kernel modifications. So that will be done instead and the autofs module documentation updated with a description of the problem and what needs to be done by module users for this specific case.
