The autofs4 module doesn't consider symlinks for expire as it did in the
older autofs v3 module (so it's actually a long standing regression).The user space daemon has focused on the use of bind mounts instead of
symlinks for a long time now and that's why this has not been noticed.
But with the future addition of amd map parsing to automount(8), not to
mention amd itself (of am-utils), symlink expiry will be needed.The direct and offset mount types can't be symlinks and the tree mounts of
version 4 were always real mounts so only indirect mounts need expire
symlinks.Since the current users of the autofs4 module haven't reported this as a
problem to date this patch probably isn't a candidate for backport to
stable.Signed-off-by: Ian Kent

gets rid of all ->free()/->u.symlink machinery in autofs; we simply
keep symlink bodies in inode->i_private and free them in ->evict_inode().Acked-by: Ian Kent

Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven

This fixes up the symlink functions for the calling convention change:
* afs, autofs4, befs, devfs, freevxfs, jffs2, jfs, ncpfs, procfs,
smbfs, sysvfs, ufs, xfs - prototype change for ->follow_link()
* befs, smbfs, xfs - same for ->put_link()Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

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!
