Subject: [ 10/75] Revert "autofs: work around unhappy compat problem on x86-64"
Date: Fri, 04 May 2012 13:42:34 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120504204225.227524096@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120504204258.GA12552@kroah.com>

3.3-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

commit fcbf94b9dedd2ce08e798a99aafc94fec8668161 upstream.

This reverts commit a32744d4abae24572eff7269bc17895c41bd0085.

While that commit was technically the right thing to do, and made the
x86-64 compat mode work identically to native 32-bit mode (and thus
fixing the problem with a 32-bit systemd install on a 64-bit kernel), it
turns out that the automount binaries had workarounds for this compat
problem.

Now, the workarounds are disgusting: doing an "uname()" to find out the
architecture of the kernel, and then comparing it for the 64-bit cases
and fixing up the size of the read() in automount for those.  And they
were confused: it's not actually a generic 64-bit issue at all, it's
very much tied to just x86-64, which has different alignment for an
'u64' in 64-bit mode than in 32-bit mode.

But the end result is that fixing the compat layer actually breaks the
case of a 32-bit automount on a x86-64 kernel.

There are various approaches to fix this (including just doing a
"strcmp()" on current->comm and comparing it to "automount"), but I
think that I will do the one that teaches pipes about a special "packet
mode", which will allow user space to not have to care too deeply about
the padding at the end of the autofs packet.

That change will make the compat workaround unnecessary, so let's revert
it first, and get automount working again in compat mode.  The
packetized pipes will then fix autofs for systemd.
