autofs-5.0.4 - expire specific submount only From: Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net> The submount shutdown at expire assumes that certain locks are not held but when notifying submounts containing nested submounts not all locks were being released. This leads to occassional deadlock when child submounts attempt to shutdown. --- lib/master.c | 33 ++++++++------------------------- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 25 deletions(-) --- autofs-5.0.1.orig/lib/master.c +++ autofs-5.0.1/lib/master.c @@ -813,7 +813,6 @@ int master_notify_submount(struct autofs { struct list_head *head, *p; struct autofs_point *this = NULL; - size_t plen = strlen(path); int ret = 1; mounts_mutex_lock(ap); @@ -821,37 +820,19 @@ int master_notify_submount(struct autofs head = &ap->submounts; p = head->prev; while (p != head) { - size_t len; - this = list_entry(p, struct autofs_point, mounts); p = p->prev; if (!master_submount_list_empty(this)) { - if (!master_notify_submount(this, path, state)) { - ret = 0; - break; - } + mounts_mutex_unlock(ap); + return master_notify_submount(this, path, state); } - len = strlen(this->path); - - /* Initial path not the same */ - if (strncmp(this->path, path, len)) + /* path not the same */ + if (strcmp(this->path, path)) continue; - /* - * Part of submount tree? - * We must wait till we get to submount itself. - * If it is tell caller by returning true. - */ - if (plen > len) { - /* Not part of this directory tree */ - if (path[len] != '/') - continue; - break; - } - - /* Now we have a submount to expire */ + /* Now we have found the submount we want to expire */ st_mutex_lock(); @@ -880,8 +861,10 @@ int master_notify_submount(struct autofs struct timespec t = { 0, 300000000 }; struct timespec r; - if (this->state != ST_SHUTDOWN) + if (this->state != ST_SHUTDOWN) { + ret = 0; break; + } st_mutex_unlock(); mounts_mutex_unlock(ap);
