From d668dc56631da067540b2494d2a1f29ff7b5f15a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2012 22:35:38 -0500 Subject: autofs4: deal with autofs4_write/autofs4_write races Just serialize the actual writing of packets into pipe on a new mutex, independent from everything else in the locking hierarchy. As soon as something has started feeding a piece of packet into the pipe to daemon, we *want* everything else about to try the same to wait until we are done.
