Subject[PATCH 0/6] Teach autofs about RCU-walk
Hi Andrew,
this series teaches autofs about RCU-walk so that we don't drop
straight into REF-walk when we hit an autofs directory, and so that
we avoid spinlocks as much as possible when performing an RCU-walk.

This is needed so that the benefits of the recent NFS support for
RCU-walk are fully available when NFS filesystems are automounted.

Patches have been carefully reviewed and tested both with test suites
and in production - thanks a lot to Ian Kent for his support there.

If they could be queued for 3.18, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
NeilBrown

NeilBrown (6):
autofs4: allow RCU-walk to walk through autofs4.
autofs4: factor should_expire() out of autofs4_expire_indirect.
autofs4: make "autofs4_can_expire" idempotent.
autofs4: avoid taking fs_lock during rcu-walk
autofs4: d_manage() should return -EISDIR when appropriate in rcu-walk mode.
autofs: the documentation I wanted to read
