For direct (and offset) mounts, if an automounted mount is manually umounted the trigger mount dentry can appear non-empty causing it to not trigger mounts. This can also happen if there is a file handle leak in a user space automounting application.
This happens because, when a ioctl control file handle is opened on the mount, a cursor dentry is created which causes list_empty() to see the dentry as non-empty. Since there is a case where listing the directory of these dentrys is needed, the use of dcache_dir_*() functions for .open() and .release() is needed. Consequently simple_empty() must be used instead of list_empty() when checking for an empty directory.
