Hi Ian, I've just noticed that autofs4_d_automount() can change the dentry pointer in the path parameter (via autofs4_mountpoint_changed()). Is this just doing a straight substitution of one dentry for its equivalent? I don't think it'll be a problem for follow_automount() and follow_managed(), provided the dentry stays in the same namespace - but if we eliminate the vfsmount pointer and just pass the dentry pointer in to d_automount(), you won't be able to do this anymore. Would it work to simply return NULL here and hope the recheck picks up the substitution?
