From e64be33ccaceaca67c84237dff8805b861398eab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Kent Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2008 21:30:20 -0700 Subject: autofs4: check kernel communication pipe is valid for write It is possible for an autofs mount to become catatonic (and for the daemon communication pipe to become NULL) after a wait has been initiallized but before the request has been sent to the daemon. We need to check for this before sending the request packet.
