Subject: [PATCH] xfsprogs: ignore autofs mount table entries
|
||||
|
||||
Some of the xfsprogs utilities read the mount table via. getmntent(3).
|
||||
|
||||
The mount table may contain (almost always these days since /etc/mtab is
|
||||
symlinked to /proc/self/mounts) autofs mount entries. During processing
|
||||
of the mount table entries statfs(2) can be called on mount point paths
|
||||
which will trigger an automount if those entries are direct or offset
|
||||
autofs mount triggers (indirect autofs mounts aren't affected).
|
||||
|
||||
This can be a problem when there are a lot of autofs direct or offset
|
||||
mounts because real mounts will be triggered when statfs(2) is called.
|
||||
This can be particularly bad if the triggered mounts are NFS mounts and
|
||||
the server is unavailable leading to lengthy boot times or worse.
|
||||
|
||||
Simply ignoring autofs mount entries during getmentent(3) traversals
|
||||
avoids the statfs() call that triggers these mounts. If there are
|
||||
automounted mounts (real mounts) at the time of reading the mount table
|
||||
these will still be seen in the list so they will be included if that
|
||||
actually matters to the reader.
|
||||
|
||||
Recent glibc getmntent(3) can ignore autofs mounts but that requires the
|
||||
autofs user to configure autofs to use the "ignore" pseudo mount option
|
||||
for autofs mounts. But this isn't yet the autofs default (to prevent
|
||||
unexpected side effects) so that can't be used.
|
||||
|
||||
The autofs direct and offset automount triggers are pseudo file system
|
||||
mounts and are more or less useless in terms on file system information
|
||||
so excluding them doesn't sacrifice useful file system information
|
||||
either.
|
||||
|
||||
Consequently excluding autofs mounts shouldn't have any adverse side
|
||||
effects.
|
||||
|
||||
Changes since v1:
|
||||
- drop hunk from fsr/xfs_fsr.c.
