[PATCH 7/13] autofs4 - expire mounts that hold no (extra) references only

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch alters the expire semantics that define how "busyness"
is determined. Currently a last_used counter is updated on every
revalidate from processes other than the mount owner process group.

This patch changes that so that an expire candidate is busy only if it
has a reference count greater than the expected minimum, such as
when there is an open file or working directory in use.

This method is the only way that busyness can be established for
direct mounts within the new implementation. For consistency the
expire semantic is made the same for all mounts.

A side effect of the patch is that mounts which remain mounted
unessessarily in the presence of some GUI programs that scan the
filesystem should now expire.
