Subject: [PATCH 2/5] autofs4 - dont make expiring dentry negative fix
Date: Tue, 01 Jul 2008 17:25:58 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080701092557.12041.32586.stgit@raven.themaw.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080701092548.12041.69868.stgit@raven.themaw.net>

The correction to not make a dentry negative has an error.
Currently ->lookup() checks if an expire is in progress and removes
the entry from the list, before the expire is complete so if more
than one process is performing a lookup at this time only one will
wait for expire completion. We need to not remove the list entry
until after waiting for expire completion.
