libmount: try absolute target before canonicalize
The path canonicalization is expensive and in many cases unwanted due to problems with readlink() on unreachable NFS and automounters. This patch add a possibility to search also by $(CWD)/<path> if the <path> is relative to reduce number of situation when we convert the path to the canonical absolute path. The common use-case: # cd /some/long/path # umount ./mountpoint old version: 15543: libmount: TAB: [0x560a99a54230]: lookup TARGET: './test' 15543: libmount: CACHE: [0x560a99a54290]: canonicalize path ./test 15543: libmount: CACHE: [0x560a99a54290]: add entry [ 1] (path): /mnt/test: ./test 15543: libmount: TAB: [0x560a99a54230]: lookup canonical TARGET: '/mnt/test' 15543: libmount: CXT: [0x560a99a54050]: umount fs: /mnt/test new version: 15597: libmount: TAB: [0xabf230]: lookup TARGET: './test' 15597: libmount: TAB: [0xabf230]: lookup absolute TARGET: '/mnt/test' 15597: libmount: CXT: [0xabf050]: umount fs: /mnt/test Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>
