Merge tag 'vfs-6.19-rc1.autofs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull autofs update from Christian Brauner:
 "Prevent futile mount triggers in private mount namespaces.

  Fix a problematic loop in autofs when a mount namespace contains
  autofs mounts that are propagation private and there is no
  namespace-specific automount daemon to handle possible automounting.

  Previously, attempted path resolution would loop until MAXSYMLINKS was
  reached before failing, causing significant noise in the log.

 The fix adds a check in autofs ->d_automount() so that the VFS can
 immediately return EPERM in this case. Since the mount is propagation
 private, EPERM is the most appropriate error code"

  autofs: dont trigger mount if it cant succeed
