From: Linus Torvalds Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2011 15:12:33 +0000 (-0700) Subject: vfs: remove LOOKUP_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b6c8069d3577481390b3f24a8434ad72a3235594;p=linux-beck.git vfs: remove LOOKUP_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag That flag no longer makes sense, since we don't look up automount points as eagerly any more. Additionally, it turns out that the NO_AUTOMOUNT handling was buggy to begin with: it would avoid automounting even for cases where we really *needed* to do the automount handling, and could return ENOENT for autofs entries that hadn't been instantiated yet. With our new non-eager automount semantics, one discussion has been about adding a AT_AUTOMOUNT flag to vfs_fstatat (and thus the newfstatat() and fstatat64() system calls), but it's probably not worth it: you can always force at least directory automounting by simply adding the final '/' to the filename, which works for *all* of the stat family system calls, old and new. So AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT (and thus LOOKUP_NO_AUTOMOUNT) really were just a result of our bad default behavior.
