      autofs4 - fix get_next_positive_subdir() · a45440f0
      Ian Kent authored
      Following a report of a crash during an automount expire I found that
      the locking in fs/autofs4/expire.c:get_next_positive_subdir() was wrong.
      Not only is the locking wrong but the function is more complex than it
      needs to be.
      
      The function is meant to calculate (and dget) the next entry in the list
      of directories contained in the root of an autofs mount point (an autofs
      indirect mount to be precise). The main problem was that the d_lock of
      the owner of the list was not being taken when walking the list, which
      lead to list corruption under load. The only other lock that needs to
      be taken is against the next dentry candidate so it can be checked for
      usability.
