[PATCH 1/6] autofs - fix inconsistent use of now variable

From: Ian Kent
Date: Mon Jun 18 2018 - 23:02:31 EST


The global variable "now" in fs/autofs/expire.c is used in
an inconsistent way, sometimes using jiffies directly, and
sometimes using the "now" variable, and setting it isn't done
consistently either.

But the autofs dentry info last_used field is only updated
during path walks or during expire so jiffies can be used
directly and the global variable "now" removed.
