From 092a53452bb7a6ca436b2d3859e7b1f1ec45479f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Kent Date: Mon, 27 Feb 2017 14:27:16 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] autofs: take more care to not update last_used on path walk GUI environments seem to be becoming more agressive at scanning filesystems, to the point where autofs cannot expire mounts at all. This is one key reason the update of the autofs dentry info last_used field is done in the expire system when the dentry is seen to be in use. But somewhere along the way instances of the update has crept back into the autofs path walk functions which, with the more aggressive file access patterns, is preventing expiration. Changing the update in the path walk functions allows autofs to at least make progress in spite of frequent immediate re-mounts from file accesses.
