From 7558f73f83fa6c15c87c7a9bb91ac3007c4b92d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stanislav Kinsburskiy Date: Wed, 10 Feb 2016 10:13:37 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] autofs: show pipe inode in mount options This is required for CRIU (Checkpoint Restart In Userspace) to migrate a mount point when write end in user space is closed. Below is a brief description of the problem. To migrate a non-catatonic autofs mount point, one has to restore the control pipe between kernel and autofs master process. One of the autofs masters is systemd, which closes pipe write end after passing it to the kernel with mount call. To be able to restore the systemd control pipe one has to know which read pipe end in systemd corresponds to the write pipe end in the kernel. The pipe "fd" in mount options is not enough because it was closed and probably replaced by some other descriptor. Thus, some other attribute is required to be able to find the read pipe end. The best attribute to use to find the correct pipe end is inode number becuase it's unique for the whole system and can't be reused while the autofs mount exists. This attribute can also be used to recognize a situation where an autofs mount has no master (no process with specified "pgrp" or no file descriptor with "pipe_ino", specified in autofs mount options).
