From 815d405ceff0d6964683f033e18b9b23a88fba87 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trond Myklebust Date: Mon, 26 Sep 2011 20:36:09 -0400 Subject: VFS: Fix the remaining automounter semantics regressions The concensus seems to be that system calls such as stat() etc should not trigger an automount. Neither should the l* versions. This patch therefore adds a LOOKUP_AUTOMOUNT flag to tag those lookups that _should_ trigger an automount on the last path element.
