tristate "Kernel automounter version 4 support (also supports v3)"
help
The automounter is a tool to automatically mount remote file systems
on demand. This implementation is partially kernel-based to reduce
overhead in the already-mounted case; this is unlike the BSD
automounter (amd), which is a pure user space daemon.
To use the automounter you need the user-space tools from
; you also
want to answer Y to "NFS file system support", below.
To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the module will be
called autofs4. You will need to add "alias autofs autofs4" to your
modules configuration file.
If you are not a part of a fairly large, distributed network or
don't have a laptop which needs to dynamically reconfigure to the
local network, you probably do not need an automounter, and can say
N here.

Erik reported that on a preproduction hardware a CMCI storm triggers the
BUG_ON in add_timer_on(). The reason is that the per CPU MCE timer is
started by the CMCI logic before the MCE CPU hotplug callback starts the
timer with add_timer_on(). So the timer is already queued which triggers
the BUG.
Using add_timer_on() is pretty pointless in this code because the timer is
strictlty per CPU, initialized as pinned and all operations which arm the
timer happen on the CPU to which the timer belongs.
Simplify the whole machinery by using mod_timer() instead of add_timer_on()
which avoids the problem because mod_timer() can handle already queued
timers. Use __start_timer() everywhere so the earliest armed expiry time is
preserved.
