[PATCH] autofs: don't fail mount for transient error

2017-11-02 Thread NeilBrown
Currently if the autofs kernel module gets an error when writing to the pipe which links to the daemon, then it marks the whole moutpoint as catatonic, and it will stop working. It is possible that the error is transient. This can happen if the daemon is slow and more than 16 requests queue up.
