From cc9acc885819696c0ed00f4f0f0cda0c7583f116 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Kent Date: Tue, 21 Jun 2005 17:16:39 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] autofs4: post expire race fix At the tail end of an expire it's possible for a process to enter autofs4_wait, with a waitq type of NFY_NONE but find that the expire is finished. In this cause autofs4_wait will try to create a new wait but not notify the daemon leading to a hang. As the wait type is meant to delay mount requests from revalidate or lookup during an expire and the expire is done all we need to do is check if the dentry is a mountpoint. If it's not then we're done.
