Hi,
Due to a change to fs/dcache.c:d_lookup() in the 2.6 kernel whereby only
hashed dentrys are returned the negative caching of mount failures
stopped working in the autofs4 module for nobrowse mount (ie. directory
created at mount time and removed at umount or following a mount
failure).
This patch keeps track of the dentrys from mount fails in order to be
able check the timeout since the last fail and return the appropriate
status. In addition the timeout value is settable at load time as a
module option and via sysfs using the module
parameter /sys/module/autofs4/parameters/negative_timeout.
