Subject: [PATCH 3/3] autofs - fix AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT not being honored
Date: Wed, 10 May 2017 12:18:48 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <149438992850.26550.14370272866390445786.stgit@pluto.themaw.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <149438991819.26550.11290804420751932707.stgit@pluto.themaw.net>

The fstatat(2) and statx() calls can pass the flag AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT
which is meant to clear the LOOKUP_AUTOMOUNT flag and prevent triggering
of an automount by the call. But this flag is unconditionally cleared
for all stat family system calls except statx().

stat family system calls have always triggered mount requests for the
negative dentry case in follow_automount() which is intended but prevents
the fstatat(2) and statx() AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT case from being handled.

In order to handle the AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT for both system calls the
negative dentry case in follow_automount() needs to be changed to
return ENOENT when the LOOKUP_AUTOMOUNT flag is clear (and the other
required flags are clear).

AFAICT this change doesn't have any noticable side effects and may,
in some use cases (although I didn't see it in testing) prevent
unnecessary callbacks to the automount daemon.

It's also possible that a stat family call has been made with a
path that is in the process of being mounted by some other process.
But stat family calls should return the automount state of the path
as it is "now" so it shouldn't wait for mount completion.

This is the same semantic as the positive dentry case already
handled.
