Description Ian Kent 2011-04-29 03:11:24 UTC 
Description of problem:

The change introduced by bz572608 is the cause of this regression.
The problem was recently reported upstream and resolved. What
happens is the state queue manager thread can stop processing
events and mount expires then stop.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
autofs-5.0.5-30

How reproducible:
Not known, some uses are easily able to reproduce this while
I can't myself. Although recently we've seen that three tests
in the beaker autofs workflow regression test suite fail due
to this regression. These tests are bz200560, bz212249 and
bz231951.

Comment 6 Ian Kent 2011-04-29 15:31:17 UTC 
As in comment #0 this bug can be verified using Beaker
workflow-autofs and checking tests bz200560, bz212249
and bz231951 pass.
Comment 8 Zhang Kexin 2011-05-04 05:27:40 UTC 
Beaker workflow-autofs tests bz200560 failed on 5.0.5-31 autofs package on x86_64 machine, job link https://beaker.engineering.redhat.com/jobs/80177. Other 2 tests don't failed on -31 package.
