gio: Do not access .hidden file in autofs folder (1.98 KB, patch)

Description Ondrej Holy 2017-04-06 10:43:57 UTC 
Accessing .hidden file in autofs folder causes unwanted mount requests for the server. autofs itself isn't able to do anything about this. We should avoid accessing this file in autofs folder.

See downstream bug report:

gio: Do not access .hidden file in autofs folder

I have tried to use ioctl calls provided by autofs to fix it, however, I don't know how to link it with "linux/auto_dev-ioctl.h" header properly. So the patch is not buildable...

Ian Kent promised an example and guidance what needs to be done. See the downstream bug report for more details.
