  • 1972580bb   autofs4: Bump version ... Browse Code »

    Increase the autofs module sub-version so we can tell what kernel
    implementation is being used from user space debug logging.

  • a92daf6ba   autofs4: make autofs type usage explicit ... Browse Code »

    - the type assigned at mount when no type is given is changed
    from 0 to AUTOFS_TYPE_INDIRECT. This was done because 0 and
    AUTOFS_TYPE_INDIRECT were being treated implicitly as the same
    type.

    - previously, an offset mount had it's type set to
    AUTOFS_TYPE_DIRECT|AUTOFS_TYPE_OFFSET but the mount control
    re-implementation needs to be able distinguish all three types.
    So this was changed to make the type setting explicit.

    - a type AUTOFS_TYPE_ANY was added for use by the re-implementation
    when checking if a given path is a mountpoint. It's not really a
    type as we use this to ask if a given path is a mountpoint in the
    autofs_dev_ioctl_ismountpoint() function.

    - functions to set and test the autofs mount types have been added to
    improve readability and make the type usage explicit.

    - the mount type is used from user space for the mount control
    re-implementtion so, for consistency, all the definitions have
    been moved to the user space include file include/linux/auto_fs4.h.

  • 8d7b48e0b   autofs4: add miscellaneous device for ioctls ... Browse Code »

    Add a miscellaneous device to the autofs4 module for routing ioctls. This
    provides the ability to obtain an ioctl file handle for an autofs mount
    point that is possibly covered by another mount.

    The actual problem with autofs is that it can't reconnect to existing
    mounts. Immediately one things of just adding the ability to remount
    autofs file systems would solve it, but alas, that can't work. This is
    because autofs direct mounts and the implementation of "on demand mount
    and expire" of nested mount trees have the file system mounted on top of
    the mount trigger dentry.

    To resolve this a miscellaneous device node for routing ioctl commands to
    these mount points has been implemented in the autofs4 kernel module and a
    library added to autofs. This provides the ability to open a file
    descriptor for these over mounted autofs mount points.

    Please refer to Documentation/filesystems/autofs4-mount-control.txt for a
    discussion of the problem, implementation alternatives considered and a
    description of the interface.

    Usage of the AUTOFS_TYPE_* defines is a little confusing and appears
    inconsistent.

  • aa55ddf34   autofs4: remove unused ioctls ... Browse Code »

    The ioctls AUTOFS_IOC_TOGGLEREGHOST and AUTOFS_IOC_ASKREGHOST were added
    several years ago but what they were intended for has never been
    implemented (as far as I'm aware noone uses them) so remove them.

  • e8514478f   [PATCH] autofs4: header file update ... Browse Code »

    The current header file definitions for autofs version 5 have caused a couple
    of problems for application builds downstream.

    This fixes the problem by separating the definitions.

    Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
