Ian Kent 433f9d76a0 autofs: add per dentry expire timeout
Add ability to set per-dentry mount expire timeout to autofs.

There are two fairly well known automounter map formats, the autofs
format and the amd format (more or less System V and Berkley).

Some time ago Linux autofs added an amd map format parser that
implemented a fair amount of the amd functionality. This was done
within the autofs infrastructure and some functionality wasn't
implemented because it either didn't make sense or required extra
kernel changes. The idea was to restrict changes to be within the
existing autofs functionality as much as possible and leave changes
with a wider scope to be considered later.

One of these changes is implementing the amd options:
1) "unmount", expire this mount according to a timeout (same as the
   current autofs default).
2) "nounmount", don't expire this mount (same as setting the autofs
   timeout to 0 except only for this specific mount) .
3) "utimeout=<seconds>", expire this mount using the specified
   timeout (again same as setting the autofs timeout but only for
   this mount).

To implement these options per-dentry expire timeouts need to be
implemented for autofs indirect mounts. This is because all map keys
(mounts) for autofs indirect mounts use an expire timeout stored in
the autofs mount super block info. structure and all indirect mounts
use the same expire timeout.

Now I have a request to add the "nounmount" option so I need to add
the per-dentry expire handling to the kernel implementation to do this.

The implementation uses the trailing path component to identify the
mount (and is also used as the autofs map key) which is passed in the
autofs_dev_ioctl structure path field. The expire timeout is passed
in autofs_dev_ioctl timeout field (well, of the timeout union).

If the passed in timeout is equal to -1 the per-dentry timeout and
flag are cleared providing for the "unmount" option. If the timeout
is greater than or equal to 0 the timeout is set to the value and the
flag is also set. If the dentry timeout is 0 the dentry will not expire
by timeout which enables the implementation of the "nounmount" option
for the specific mount. When the dentry timeout is greater than zero it
allows for the implementation of the "utimeout=<seconds>" option.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
