Subject: [PATCH] autofs4: Fix endless loop in autofs4_write
Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2016 19:07:39 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1465578459-8624-1-git-send-email-ldufour@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

The 'commit e9a7c2f1a548 ("autofs4: coding style fixes")' removed the
check done on the __vfs_write()'s returned value in autofs4_write().
This may lead to a spinning process which can't catch any signal.

Call stack showed in xmon could be :
