[PATCH] autofs: clear O_NONBLOCK on the pipe.

From: Ian Kent
Date: Mon Feb 11 2019 - 20:38:56 EST


From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxxx>

autofs does not expect the pipe it is given
to have O_NONBLOCK set - specifically if __kernel_write()
in autofs_write() returns -EAGAIN, this is treated
as a fatal error and the pipe is closed.

For safety autofs should, therefore, clear the O_NONBLOCK flag.

Releases of systemd prior to 8th February 2019 used
pipe2(p, O_NONBLOCK|O_CLOEXEC)
and thus (inadvertently) set this flag.
