Package: autofs5 Version: 5.0.7-3 Severity: Normal Tags: patch This patch fixes automounter support on the parisc architecture with 64-bit kernel and 32-bit userspace.
The patch consists of two parts: Part 1 adds code to detect a 64bit parisc kernel (uname reports "parisc64"). This is similiar to how x86_64 and ppc64 is already detected. Part 2 patches the auto_fs.h Linux kernel header file to bring it in sync again with the upstream Linux kernel header file. Linux kernel upstream commit 4f4ffc3a5398ef9bdbb32db04756d7d34e356fcf (https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=4f4ffc3a5398ef9bdbb32db04756d7d34e356fcf) simplified the #if defined() statements to define autofs_wqt_t as "unsigned long" only for pure 64bit architectures. This change makes the kernel source code more robust for new upcoming architectures as well. A backport of this patch has already been accepted for various stable linux kernels during the last few weeks. It would be nice, if you could apply this patch for the next upcoming release of the debian autofs package. Helge
