Subject: [autofs4] fix waitq locking
Message-id: 20080812042719.15842.92775.stgit@web.messagingengine.com
O-Subject: [RHEL 5.3 PATCH 11/20] autofs4 - fix waitq locking [Realted: bz452139]
Bugzilla: 452139

This patch is an upstream bug fix and shoud be associated with
bug 452139.

The autofs4_catatonic_mode() function accesses the wait queue without
any locking but can be called at any time. This could lead to a
possible double free of the name field of the wait and a double fput
of the daemon communication pipe or an fput of a NULL file pointer.
