autofs-5.0.7 - dont probe rdma mounts
From: Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net>
Since the change to pass text nfs mount options drectly to the kernel all autofs
mount requests now probe server availability. This was because of long delays
mounting from servers that aren't responding.
This caused mounts requesting the rdma protocol to fail if udp or tcp was also
not available from the server.
Since, AFAICT the rmda protocol can't be used with RPC fromn userspace, the only
way to work around it is to not probe servers when rdma is requested.
