+Subject: [PATCH] Revert "autofs: work around unhappy compat problem on
+ x86-64"
+
+commit fcbf94b9dedd2ce08e798a99aafc94fec8668161 upstream.
+
+This reverts commit a32744d4abae24572eff7269bc17895c41bd0085.
+
+While that commit was technically the right thing to do, and made the
+x86-64 compat mode work identically to native 32-bit mode (and thus
+fixing the problem with a 32-bit systemd install on a 64-bit kernel), it
+turns out that the automount binaries had workarounds for this compat
+problem.
+
+Now, the workarounds are disgusting: doing an "uname()" to find out the
+architecture of the kernel, and then comparing it for the 64-bit cases
+and fixing up the size of the read() in automount for those.  And they
+were confused: it's not actually a generic 64-bit issue at all, it's
+very much tied to just x86-64, which has different alignment for an
+'u64' in 64-bit mode than in 32-bit mode.
+
+But the end result is that fixing the compat layer actually breaks the
+case of a 32-bit automount on a x86-64 kernel.
+
+There are various approaches to fix this (including just doing a
+"strcmp()" on current->comm and comparing it to "automount"), but I
+think that I will do the one that teaches pipes about a special "packet
+mode", which will allow user space to not have to care too deeply about
+the padding at the end of the autofs packet.
+
+That change will make the compat workaround unnecessary, so let's revert
+it first, and get automount working again in compat mode.  The
+packetized pipes will then fix autofs for systemd.
