That's... a very mild version of what's been going on.  Let's just say that
the last few weeks had been really interesting.  Not that the shit has
settled, but there was some slackening in the shitstorm last few days.
Unlikely to last, I'm afraid, but...

Aside of the Eric's note re constifying struct path (strongly seconded),
I'm not sure if expiration-related side of that is correct.  OTOH,
since the expiration happens from userland...

How much testing did it get?  I've several test setups involving
autofs, but they are nowhere near exhaustive and I don't have good
enough feel of the codebase to slap together something with decent
coverage...
