autofs: remove left-over autofs4 stubs
There's no need to retain the fs/autofs4 directory for backward compatibility. Adding an AUTOFS4_FS fragment to the autofs Kconfig and a module alias for autofs4 is sufficient for almost all cases. Not keeping fs/autofs4 remnants will prevent "insmod <path>/autofs4/autofs4.ko" from working but this shouldn't be used in automation scripts rather than modprobe(8). There were some comments about things to look out for with the module rename in the fs/autofs4/Kconfig that is removed by this patch, see the commit patch if you are interested. One potential problem with this change is that when the fs/autofs/Kconfig fragment for AUTOFS4_FS is removed any AUTOFS4_FS entries will be removed from the kernel config, resulting in no autofs file system being built if there is no AUTOFS_FS entry also. This would have also happened if the fs/autofs4 remnants had remained and is most likely to be a problem with automated builds. Please check your build configurations before the removal which will occur after the next couple of kernel releases.

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
|
||||
<https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/>; you also want
|
||||
to answer Y to "NFS file system support", below.
|
||||
|
||||
This module is in the process of being renamed from autofs4 to
|
||||
autofs. Since autofs is now the only module that provides the
|
||||
autofs file system the module is not version 4 specific.
|
||||
|
||||
The autofs4 module is now built from the source located in
|
||||
fs/autofs. The autofs4 directory and its configuration entry
|
||||
will be removed two kernel versions from the inclusion of this
|
||||
change.
|
||||
|
||||
Changes that will need to be made should be limited to:
|
||||
- source include statments should be changed from autofs_fs4.h to
|
||||
autofs_fs.h since these two header files have been merged.
|
||||
- user space scripts that manually load autofs4.ko should be
|
||||
changed to load autofs.ko. But since the module directory name
|
||||
and the module name are the same as the file system name there
|
||||
is no need to manually load module.
|
||||
- any "alias autofs autofs4" will need to be removed.
|
||||
- due to the autofs4 module directory name not being the same as
|
||||
its file system name autoloading didn't work properly. Because
|
||||
of this kernel configurations would often build the module into
|
||||
the kernel. This may have resulted in selinux policies that will
|
||||
prevent the autofs module from autoloading and will need to be
|
||||
updated.
|
||||
|
||||
Please configure AUTOFS_FS instead of AUTOFS4_FS from now on.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: Since the modules autofs and autofs4 use the same file system
|
||||
type name of "autofs" only one can be built. The "depends"
|
||||
above will result in AUTOFS4_FS not appearing in .config for
|
||||
any setting of AUTOFS_FS other than n and AUTOFS4_FS will
|
||||
appear under the AUTOFS_FS entry otherwise which is intended
|
||||
to draw attention to the module rename change.
