Ian Kent 1972580bb4 autofs4: Bump version
Increase the autofs module sub-version so we can tell what kernel
implementation is being used from user space debug logging.

Ian Kent a92daf6ba1 autofs4: make autofs type usage explicit
- 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.

Ian Kent 8d7b48e0bc autofs4: add miscellaneous device for ioctls
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

Ian Kent aa55ddf340 autofs4: remove unused ioctls
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.

Ian Kent e8514478f6 [PATCH] autofs4: header file update
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.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
