Pull AFS fixes from David Howells:
 "The in-kernel AFS client has been undergoing testing on opendev.org on
  one of their mirror machines. They are using AFS to hold data that is
  then served via apache, and Ian Wienand had reported seeing oopses,
  spontaneous machine reboots and updates to volumes going missing. This
  patch series appears to have fixed the problem, very probably due to
  patch (2), but it's not 100% certain.

  (1) Fix the printing of the "vnode modified" warning to exclude checks
      on files for which we don't have a callback promise from the
      server (and so don't expect the server to tell us when it
      changes).

      Without this, for every file or directory for which we still have
      an in-core inode that gets changed on the server, we may get a
      message logged when we next look at it. This can happen in bulk
      if, for instance, someone does "vos release" to update a R/O
      volume from a R/W volume and a whole set of files are all changed
      together.

      We only really want to log a message if the file changed and the
      server didn't tell us about it or we failed to track the state
      internally.

  (2) Fix accidental corruption of either afs_vlserver struct objects or
      the the following memory locations (which could hold anything).
      The issue is caused by a union that points to two different
      structs in struct afs_call (to save space in the struct). The call
      cleanup code assumes that it can simply call the cleanup for one
      of those structs if not NULL - when it might be actually pointing
      to the other struct.

      This means that every Volume Location RPC op is going to corrupt
      something.

  (3) Fix an uninitialised spinlock. This isn't too bad, it just causes
      a one-off warning if lockdep is enabled when "vos release" is
      called, but the spinlock still behaves correctly.

  (4) Fix the setting of i_block in the inode. This causes du, for
      example, to produce incorrect results, but otherwise should not be
      dangerous to the kernel"

Fix the cb_break_lock spinlock in afs_volume struct by initialising it when
the volume record is allocated.

Also rename the lock to cb_v_break_lock to distinguish it from the lock of
the same name in the afs_server struct.

Without this, the following trace may be observed when a volume-break
callback is received:

Add fs_context support to the AFS filesystem, converting the parameter
parsing to store options there.

This will form the basis for namespace propagation over mountpoints within
the AFS model, thereby allowing AFS to be used in containers more easily.

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.

Increase the sizes of the volume ID to 64 bits and the vnode ID (inode
number equivalent) to 96 bits to allow the support of YFS.

This requires the iget comparator to check the vnode-&gt;fid rather than i_ino
and i_generation as i_ino is not sufficiently capacious.  It also requires
this data to be placed into the vnode cache key for fscache.

For the moment, just discard the top 32 bits of the vnode ID when returning
it though stat.

<content type='text'>
Track VL servers as independent entities rather than lumping all their
addresses together into one set and implement server-level rotation by:

 (1) Add the concept of a VL server list, where each server has its own
     separate address list.  This code is similar to the FS server list.

 (2) Use the DNS resolver to retrieve a set of servers and their associated
     addresses, ports, preference and weight ratings.

 (3) In the case of a legacy DNS resolver or an address list given directly
     through /proc/net/afs/cells, create a list containing just a dummy
     server record and attach all the addresses to that.

 (4) Implement a simple rotation policy, for the moment ignoring the
     priorities and weights assigned to the servers.

 (5) Show the address list through /proc/net/afs/&lt;cell&gt;/vlservers.  This
     also displays the source and status of the data as indicated by the
     upcall.

Pass the object size in to fscache_acquire_cookie() and
fscache_write_page() rather than the netfs providing a callback by which it
can be received.  This makes it easier to update the size of the object
when a new page is written that extends the object.

The current object size is also passed by fscache to the check_aux
function, obviating the need to store it in the aux data.

Attach copies of the index key and auxiliary data to the fscache cookie so
that:

 (1) The callbacks to the netfs for this stuff can be eliminated.  This
     can simplify things in the cache as the information is still
     available, even after the cache has relinquished the cookie.

 (2) Simplifies the locking requirements of accessing the information as we
     don't have to worry about the netfs object going away on us.

 (3) The cache can do lazy updating of the coherency information on disk.
     As long as the cache is flushed before reboot/poweroff, there's no
     need to update the coherency info on disk every time it changes.

 (4) Cookies can be hashed or put in a tree as the index key is easily
     available.  This allows:

     (a) Checks for duplicate cookies can be made at the top fscache layer
     	 rather than down in the bowels of the cache backend.

     (b) Caching can be added to a netfs object that has a cookie if the
     	 cache is brought online after the netfs object is allocated.

A certain amount of space is made in the cookie for inline copies of the
data, but if it won't fit there, extra memory will be allocated for it.

The downside of this is that live cache operation requires more memory.
