We are seeing systemd hang on its autofs direct mount at
/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc.
Historically this was due to a mismatch in the communication structure
size between a 64 bit kernel and a 32 bit user space and was fixed by
making the pipe communication record oriented.
During autofs v5 development I decided to stay with the existing usage
instead of changing to a packed structure for autofs <=> user space
communications which turned out to be a mistake on my part.
Problems arose and they were fixed by allowing for the 64 bit to 32
bit size difference in the automount(8) code.
Along the way systemd started to use autofs and eventually encountered
this problem too. systemd refused to compensate for the length
difference insisting it be fixed in the kernel. Fortunately Linus
implemented the packetized pipe which resolved the problem in a
straight forward and simple way.
In the autofs mount api conversion series I inadvertatly dropped the
packet pipe flag settings when adding the autofs_parse_fd() function.
This patch fixes that omission.

The dentry info. field count is used to check if a dentry is in use
during expire. But, to be used for this the count field must account for
the presence of child dentries in a directory dentry.
Therefore it can also be used to check for an empty directory dentry which
can be done without having to to take an additional lock or account for
the presence of a readdir cursor dentry as is done by simple_empty().

allow wq->name.name to point not at the beginning of the object containing
the string, with wq->offset telling how far into it we are. Then we can
bloody well just use dentry_path_raw() instead of autofs_getpath() -
the only real difference is that dentry_path_raw() puts the result into
the end of buffer and returns where it starts.

All writers are serialized on inode->i_rwsem. So are the readers
outside of expire.c. And the readers in expire.c are in the
code that really doesn't care about narrow races - it's looking
for expiry candidates and its callers have to cope with the
possibility of a good candidate becoming busy right under them.
No point bothering with atomic operations - just use int and
mark the non-serialized readers with READ_ONCE().

autofs does not expect the pipe it is given to have O_NONBLOCK set -
specifically if __kernel_write() in autofs_write() returns -EAGAIN, this
is treated as a fatal error and the pipe is closed.
For safety autofs should, therefore, clear the O_NONBLOCK flag.
Releases of systemd prior to 8th February 2019 used
pipe2(p, O_NONBLOCK|O_CLOEXEC)
and thus (inadvertently) set this flag.

Add an autofs file system mount option that can be used to provide a
generic indicator to applications that the mount entry should be ignored
when displaying mount information.
In other OSes that provide autofs and that provide a mount list to user
space based on the kernel mount list a no-op mount option ("ignore" is
the one use on the most common OS) is allowed so that autofs file system
users can optionally use it.
The idea is that it be used by user space programs to exclude autofs
mounts from consideration when reading the mounts list.
Prior to the change to link /etc/mtab to /proc/self/mounts all I needed
to do to achieve this was to use mount(2) and not update the mtab but
now that no longer works.
I know the symlinking happened a long time ago and I considered doing
this then but, at the time I couldn't remember the commonly used option
name and thought persuading the various utility maintainers would be too
hard.
But now I have a RHEL request to do this for compatibility for a widely
used product so I want to go ahead with it and try and enlist the help
of some utility package maintainers.
Clearly, without the option nothing can be done so it's at least a
start.

Commit 092a53452b ("autofs: take more care to not update last_used on
path walk") helped to (partially) resolve a problem where automounts
were not expiring due to aggressive accesses from user space.
This patch was later reverted because, for very large environments, it
meant more mount requests from clients and when there are a lot of
clients this caused a fairly significant increase in server load.
But there is a need for both types of expire check, depending on use
case, so add a mount option to allow for strict update of last use of
autofs dentrys (which just means not updating the last use on path walk
access).

Al Viro made some suggestions to improve the implementation of commit
0633da48f0 ("fix autofs_sbi() does not check super block type").
The check is unnecessary in all cases except for ioctl usage so placing
the check in the super block accessor function adds a small overhead to
the common case where it isn't needed.
So it's sufficient to do this in the ioctl code only.
Also the check in the ioctl code is needlessly complex.

To access these fields the code always has to go to group leader so
going to signal struct is no loss and is actually a fundamental simplification.
This saves a little bit of memory by only allocating the pid pointer array
once instead of once for every thread, and even better this removes a
few potential races caused by the fact that group_leader can be changed
by de_thread, while signal_struct can not.

Make sure all dentries refs are released before calling kill_anon_super()
so that the assumption that generic_shutdown_super() can completely destroy
the dentry tree for there will be no external references holds true.
What was being done in the put_super() superblock op, is now done in the
kill_sb() filesystem op instead, prior to calling kill_anon_super().
The call to shrink_dcache_sb() is removed as it is redundant since
shrink_dcache_for_umount() will now be called after the cleanup routine.
