[PATCH 6.12 0735/1276] afs: Remove the "autocell" mount option

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

6.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Howells <dhowells at redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 4c5ad63f85ef984cc809538b2dcbc113aed82330 ]

Remove the "autocell" mount option.  It was an attempt to do automounting
of arbitrary cells based on what the user looked up but within the root
directory of a mounted volume.  This isn't really the right thing to do,
and using the "dyn" mount option to get the dynamic root is the right way
to do it.  The kafs-client package uses "-o dyn" when mounting /afs, so it
should be safe to drop "-o autocell".
