Subject[PATCH 1/7] autofs - fix directory and symlink access
From
Date
Depending on how it is configured the autofs user space daemon can
leave in use mounts mounted at exit and re-connect to them at start
up. But for this to work best the state of the autofs file system
needs to be left intact over the restart.

Also, at system shutdown, mounts in an autofs file system might be
umounted exposing a mount point trigger for which subsequent access
can lead to a hang. So recent versions of automount(8) now does its
best to set autofs file system mounts catatonic at shutdown.

When autofs file system mounts are catatonic it's currently possible
to create and remove directories and symlinks which can be a problem
at restart, as described above.

So return EACCES in the directory, symlink and unlink methods if the
autofs file system is catatonic.
