2009-01-06autofs4: make autofs type usage explicitIan Kent
- the type assigned at mount when no type is given is changed from 0 to AUTOFS_TYPE_INDIRECT. This was done because 0 and AUTOFS_TYPE_INDIRECT were being treated implicitly as the same type. - previously, an offset mount had it's type set to AUTOFS_TYPE_DIRECT|AUTOFS_TYPE_OFFSET but the mount control re-implementation needs to be able distinguish all three types. So this was changed to make the type setting explicit. - a type AUTOFS_TYPE_ANY was added for use by the re-implementation when checking if a given path is a mountpoint. It's not really a type as we use this to ask if a given path is a mountpoint in the autofs_dev_ioctl_ismountpoint() function. - functions to set and test the autofs mount types have been added to improve readability and make the type usage explicit. - the mount type is used from user space for the mount control re-implementtion so, for consistency, all the definitions have been moved to the user space include file include/linux/auto_fs4.h.

2008-10-16autofs4: add miscellaneous device for ioctlsIan Kent
Add a miscellaneous device to the autofs4 module for routing ioctls. This provides the ability to obtain an ioctl file handle for an autofs mount point that is possibly covered by another mount. The actual problem with autofs is that it can't reconnect to existing mounts. Immediately one things of just adding the ability to remount autofs file systems would solve it, but alas, that can't work. This is because autofs direct mounts and the implementation of "on demand mount and expire" of nested mount trees have the file system mounted on top of the mount trigger dentry. To resolve this a miscellaneous device node for routing ioctl commands to these mount points has been implemented in the autofs4 kernel module and a library added to autofs. This provides the ability to open a file descriptor for these over mounted autofs mount points. Please refer to Documentation/filesystems/autofs4-mount-control.txt for a discussion of the problem, implementation alternatives considered and a description of the interface.

Usage of the AUTOFS_TYPE_* defines is a little confusing and appears inconsistent. Signed-off-by: Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-07-24autofs4: remove unused ioctlsIan Kent
The ioctls AUTOFS_IOC_TOGGLEREGHOST and AUTOFS_IOC_ASKREGHOST were added several years ago but what they were intended for has never been implemented (as far as I'm aware noone uses them) so remove them.

2007-02-20[PATCH] autofs4: header file updateIan Kent
The current header file definitions for autofs version 5 have caused a couple of problems for application builds downstream. This fixes the problem by separating the definitions.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
