Cover letter [RFC PATCH 0/8] Patch series to fix autofs unreliable usage of d_mountpoint()
This series fixes the potential problem of autofs returning ELOOP when a mount exists in a propogation private mount namespace other than the namespace in which the mount is to be performed.
I'm posting the series as an RFC in the hope of catching stupid mistakes that I may have made before submitting to mmotm. Please note the series here is against the current Linus tree and may be slightly different when posted for inclusion in mmotm.
Please review and post any comments.
