 "Assorted fixes all over the place.

  The iov_iter one is this cycle regression (splice from UDP triggering
  WARN_ON()), the rest is older"

Use d_instantiate() rather than d_add() and don't d_drop() in
afs_vnode_new_inode().  The dentry shouldn't be removed as it's not
changing its name.

kAFS can be given certain network errors (EADDRNOTAVAIL, EHOSTDOWN and
ERFKILL) that it doesn't handle in its server/address rotation algorithms.
They cause the probing and rotation to abort immediately rather than
rotating.

Fix this by:

 (1) Abstracting out the error prioritisation from the VL and FS rotation
     algorithms into a common function and expand usage into the server
     probing code.

     When multiple errors are available, this code selects the one we'd
     prefer to return.

 (2) Add handling for EADDRNOTAVAIL, EHOSTDOWN and ERFKILL.

When afs_validate() is called to validate a vnode (inode), there are two
unhandled cases in the fastpath at the top of the function:

 (1) If the vnode is promised (AFS_VNODE_CB_PROMISED is set), the break
     counters match and the data has expired, then there's an implicit case
     in which the vnode needs revalidating.

     This has no consequences since the default "valid = false" set at the
     top of the function happens to do the right thing.

 (2) If the vnode is not promised and it hasn't been deleted
     (AFS_VNODE_DELETED is not set) then there's a default case we're not
     handling in which the vnode is invalid.  If the vnode is invalid, we
     need to bring cb_s_break and cb_v_break up to date before we refetch
     the status.

     As a consequence, once the server loses track of the client
     (ie. sufficient time has passed since we last sent it an operation),
     it will send us a CB.InitCallBackState* operation when we next try to
     talk to it.  This calls afs_init_callback_state() which increments
     afs_server::cb_s_break, but this then doesn't propagate to the
     afs_vnode record.

     The result being that every afs_validate() call thereafter sends a
     status fetch operation to the server.

Clarify and fix this by:

 (A) Setting valid in all the branches rather than initialising it at the
     top so that the compiler catches where we've missed.

 (B) Restructuring the logic in the 'promised' branch so that we set valid
     to false if the callback is due to expire (or has expired) and so that
     the final case is that the vnode is still valid.

 (C) Adding an else-statement that ups cb_s_break and cb_v_break if the
     promised and deleted cases don't match.

<title>rxrpc: Fix life check</title>

<content type='text'>
The life-checking function, which is used by kAFS to make sure that a call
is still live in the event of a pending signal, only samples the received
packet serial number counter; it doesn't actually provoke a change in the
counter, rather relying on the server to happen to give us a packet in the
time window.

Fix this by adding a function to force a ping to be transmitted.

kAFS then keeps track of whether there's been a stall, and if so, uses the
new function to ping the server, resetting the timeout to allow the reply
to come back.

If there's a stall, a ping and the call is *still* stalled in the same
place after another period, then the call will be aborted.

Send probes to all the unprobed fileservers in a fileserver list on all
addresses simultaneously in an attempt to find out the fastest route whilst
not getting stuck for 20s on any server or address that we don't get a
reply from.

This alleviates the problem whereby attempting to access a new server can
take a long time because the rotation algorithm ends up rotating through
all servers and addresses until it finds one that responds.

In some circumstances, the callback interest pointer is NULL, so in such a
case we can't dereference it when checking to see if the callback is
broken.  This causes an oops in some circumstances.

Fix this by replacing the function that worked out the aggregate break
counter with one that actually does the comparison, and then make that
return true (ie. broken) if there is no callback interest as yet (ie. the
pointer is NULL).
