    autofs4: don't make expiring dentry negative · 5f6f4f28
    Ian Kent 提交于
    Correct the error of making a positive dentry negative after it has been
    instantiated.
    
    The code that makes this error attempts to re-use the dentry from a
    concurrent expire and mount to resolve a race and the dentry used for the
    lookup must be negative for mounts to trigger in the required cases.  The
    fact is that the dentry doesn't need to be re-used because all that is
    needed is to preserve the flag that indicates an expire is still
    incomplete at the time of the mount request.
    
    This change uses the the dentry to check the flag and wait for the expire
    to complete then discards it instead of attempting to re-use it.
