Bug Description

[Impact]

Autofs direct map triggers are visible in /etc/mtab.
On boot, when snmpd starts, it iterates over the entries in /etc/mtab and performs statfs() on them.
This trigger automount to mount autofs mounts even if the user does not explicitly access them.

However this happens only if autofs service is started before snmpd.
If snmpd stars first /etc/mtab is not yet populated with autofs mounts and therefore
are not mounted.

When there a few autofs mount points the impact is insignificant.
However when there are thousands of them, this causes unnecessary overhead on operations
such as df.
This also delays the system shutdown time since everything needs to be unmounted.

[Test Case]

*** Test Case 1 - During boot:

The user that brought this issue to our attention would observe all autofs mounts
be mounted at boot, because in their environment autofs would start first.

In my environment snmpd starts first so to reproduce I had to add a small delay in
snmpd init script.

[Regression Potential]

The regression potential of these patch is low.
The patch essentially adds support for autofs mounts in order to detect them and treat them separately when calling stafs; autofs entries are skipped to prevent them from being mounting every time snmpd is restarted.
Therefore, any regression that may be caused by this patch will be autofs related.

I am not a user of net-snmp so it's hard for me to get a proper feeling for this, but I might be slightly worried that fixing this 'bug' would cause a behavior change (regression) for some users that actually now expect their autofs mount points to be mounted by snmpd. Especially that, seeing from the targeted series, it was like this since xenial and this is the first time it was actually mentioned.

I think I would first like to consult this with the ubuntu-server team regarding how invasive this change actually is. Maybe it's not such a big of a deal, but I always try to stop and check whenever a behavior change is being proposed for an SRU.

I'm not an autofs expert, but my understanding is that autofs "automatically" mounts configured directories, on access. So, assuming that net-snmp was previously accessing a user's autofs mounts at bootup, causing them to be mounted, those directories would now not be mounted at boot time, but would still be mounted by autofs when the user actually accessed them, at any point during runtime.

So, the user-visible change would only be:

before: autofs mounts are mounted at boot time, adding some delay to boot
after: autofs mounts are mounted at runtime on directory access, adding some delay to initial access of an autofs directory

This should not introduce any error for users when accessing their autofs mounts (although, if there is some problem actually mounting an autofs mount, that error would be *moved* from boot-time to runtime initial access).

Additionally, autofs mounts have timeouts which un-mount them, so in the long run of any particular system, this is a no-op.

As the design of autofs is demand-based mounting, having them all mounted at boot time makes autofs somewhat pointless, AFAICT; the system admin should just make them normal mounts if that's what is desired.

Dan Streetman (ddstreet) wrote :

Also please note that previous behavior was not guaranteed to mount all autofs mounts, as Jo stated in the description:

"The user that brought this issue to our attention would observe all autofs mounts
be mounted at boot, because in their environment autofs would start first.

In my environment snmpd starts first so to reproduce I had to add a small delay in
snmpd init script."

So previous/current behavior is a race condition between autofs and snmpd starting; only if autofs starts before snmpd, will snmpd cause all autofs mounts to be mounted.

Thanks Dan! What you say does make sense indeed. Thinking about it again, relying on autofs filesystems to be already mounted on boot is invalid behavior by principle, so it is not something we should care about. Let me re-review and accept the upload.

@bryce For the record: the nut/2.7.4-5.1ubuntu2 ppc64el test failed as per the SRU ADT regression report in comment #18, but it passed after a re-run triggered by Eric. So the report was correct, but when you checked the test has already been re-ran [1]. The 'Not touching package due to block request by freeze' comment is always present for packages in the stable series - this basically means that it will not migrate to -updates automatically, as that only happens for the devel series.
