We have been seeing mount requests comming to the automount daemon for
keys of the form "<map key>/<non key directory>" which are lookups for
invalid map keys. But we can check for this in the kernel module and
return a fail immediately, without having to send a request to the daemon.
It is possible to recognise these requests are invalid based on whether
the request dentry is negative and its relation to the autofs file system
root.
For example, given the indirect multi-mount map entry:
idm1 \
/mm1 <server>:/<path1>
/mm2 <server>:/<path2>
For a request to mount idm1, IS_ROOT((idm1)->d_parent) will be always be
true and the dentry may be negative. But directories idm1/mm1 and
idm1/mm2 will always be created as part of the mount request for idm1. So
any mount request within idm1 itself must have a positive dentry otherwise
the map key is invalid.
In version 4 these multi-mount entries are all mounted and umounted as a
single request and in version 5 the directories idm1/mm1 and idm1/mm2 are
created and an autofs fs mounted on them to act as a mount trigger so the
above is also true.
This also holds true for the autofs version 4 pseudo direct mount feature.
When this feature is used without the "--ghost" option automount(8) will
create internal submounts as we go down the map key paths which are
essentially normal indirect mounts for which the above holds. If the
"--ghost" option is given the directories for map keys are created at
daemon startup so valid map entries correspond to postive dentries in the
autofs fs.
autofs version 5 direct mount maps are similar except that the IS_ROOT
check is not needed. This has been addressed in a previous patch tittled
"autofs4 - detect invalid direct mount requests".
For example, given the direct multi-mount map entry:
/test/dm1 \
/mm1 <server>:/<path1>
/mm2 <server>:/<path2>
An autofs fs is mounted on /test/dm1 as a trigger mount and when a mount
is triggered for /test/dm1, the multi-mount offset directories
/test/dm1/mm1 and /test/dm1/mm2 are created and an autofs fs is mounted on
them to act as mount triggers. So valid direct mount requests must always
have a positive dentry if they correspond to a valid map entry.

autofs v5 direct and offset mounts within an autofs filesystem are
triggered by existing autofs triger mounts so the mount point dentry must
be positive. If the mount point dentry is negative then the trigger
doesn't exist so we can return fail immediately.

If an autofs mount becomes catatonic before autofs4_wait_release() is
called the wait queue counter will not be decremented down to zero and the
entry will never be freed. There are also races decrementing the wait
counter in the wait release function. To deal with this the counter needs
to be updated while holding the wait queue mutex and waiters need to be
woken up unconditionally when the wait is removed from the queue to ensure
we eventually free the wait.

Close a race between a pending mount that is about to finish and a new
lookup for the same directory.
Process P1 triggers a mount of directory foo. It sets
DCACHE_AUTOFS_PENDING in the ->lookup routine, creates a waitq entry for
'foo', and calls out to the daemon to perform the mount. The autofs
daemon will then create the directory 'foo', using a new dentry that will
be hashed in the dcache.
Before the mount completes, another process, P2, tries to walk into the
'foo' directory. The vfs path walking code finds an entry for 'foo' and
calls the revalidate method. Revalidate finds that the entry is not
PENDING (because PENDING was never set on the dentry created by the
mkdir), but it does find the directory is empty. Revalidate calls
try_to_fill_dentry, which sets the PENDING flag and then calls into the
autofs4 wait code to trigger or wait for a mount of 'foo'. The wait code
finds the entry for 'foo' and goes to sleep waiting for the completion of
the mount.
Yet another process, P3, tries to walk into the 'foo' directory. This
process again finds a dentry in the dcache for 'foo', and calls into the
autofs revalidate code.
The revalidate code finds that the PENDING flag is set, and so calls
try_to_fill_dentry.
a) try_to_fill_dentry sets the PENDING flag redundantly for this
dentry, then calls into the autofs4 wait code.
b) the autofs4 wait code takes the waitq mutex and searches for an
entry for 'foo'
Between a and b, P1 is woken up because the mount completed. P1 takes the
wait queue mutex, clears the PENDING flag from the dentry, and removes the
waitqueue entry for 'foo' from the list.
When it releases the waitq mutex, P3 (eventually) acquires it. At this
time, it looks for an existing waitq for 'foo', finds none, and so creates
a new one and calls out to the daemon to mount the 'foo' directory.
Now, the reason that three processes are required to trigger this race is
that, because the PENDING flag is not set on the dentry created by mkdir,
the window for the race would be way to slim for it to ever occur.
Basically, between the testing of d_mountpoint(dentry) and the taking of
the waitq mutex, the mount would have to complete and the daemon would
have to be woken up, and that in turn would have to wake up P1. This is
simply impossible. Add the third process, though, and it becomes slightly
more likely.

Make sure all dentries refs are released before calling kill_anon_super() so
that the assumption that generic_shutdown_super() can completely destroy the
dentry tree for there will be no external references holds true.
What was being done in the put_super() superblock op, is now done in the
kill_sb() filesystem op instead, prior to calling kill_anon_super().
This makes the struct autofs_sb_info::root member variable redundant (since
sb->s_root is still available), and so that is removed. The calls to
shrink_dcache_sb() are also removed since they're also redundant as
shrink_dcache_for_umount() will now be called after the cleanup routine.

This patch fixes two problems.
First, the comparison of entries in the waitq.c was incorrect.
Second, the NFY_NONE check was incorrect. The test of whether the dentry
is mounted if ineffective, for example, if an expire fails then we could
wait forever on a non existant expire. The bug was identified by Jeff
Moyer.
The patch changes autofs4 to wait on expires only as this is all that's
needed. If there is no existing wait when autofs4_wait is call with a type
of NFY_NONE it delays until either a wait appears or the the expire flag is
cleared.

At the tail end of an expire it's possible for a process to enter
autofs4_wait, with a waitq type of NFY_NONE but find that the expire is
finished. In this cause autofs4_wait will try to create a new wait but not
notify the daemon leading to a hang. As the wait type is meant to delay mount
requests from revalidate or lookup during an expire and the expire is done all
we need to do is check if the dentry is a mountpoint. If it's not then we're
done.
