Here is Thomas Meyer's explanation from [1]:
,----
| the size of autofs_v5_packet_union is 300 bytes on x86 and 304 bytes on x86_64 kernels.
| when running systemd (x86) on an x86_64 kernel this leads to a hang in automount_fd_event->loop_read
| as a second fd_event is trigged for the remaining 4 bytes. but the loop_read tries to read
| 300 bytes again.
