    Subject[001/145] fix LOOKUP_FOLLOW on automount "symlinks"
    2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ----------------
    From: Al Viro <viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk>

    commit ac278a9c505092dd82077a2446af8f9fc0d9c095 upstream.

    Make sure that automount "symlinks" are followed regardless of LOOKUP_FOLLOW;
    it should have no effect on them.
