__pagevec_release() complains loudly if any page in the vector is still
locked.  The pages need to be locked for generic_error_remove_page(), but
that function doesn't actually unlock them.

Unlock the pages afterwards.

<title>afs: Increase to 64-bit volume ID and 96-bit vnode ID for YFS</title>

<content type='text'>
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.

Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler in struct
vm_operations_struct.  For now, this is just documenting that the
function returns a VM_FAULT value rather than an errno.  Once all
instances are converted, vm_fault_t will become a distinct type.

See 1c8f422059ae ("mm: change return type to vm_fault_t") for reference.

<content type='text'>
It's possible for an AFS file server to issue a whole-volume notification
that callbacks on all the vnodes in the file have been broken.  This is
done for R/O and backup volumes (which don't have per-file callbacks) and
for things like a volume being taken offline.

Fix callback handling to detect whole-volume notifications, to track it
across operations and to check it during inode validation.

Processes like ld that do lots of small writes that aren't necessarily
contiguous result in a lot of small StoreData operations to the server, the
idea being that if someone else changes the data on the server, we only
write our changes over that and not the space between.  Further, we don't
want to write back empty space if we can avoid it to make it easier for the
server to do sparse files.

However, making lots of tiny RPC ops is a lot less efficient for the server
than one big one because each op requires allocation of resources and the
taking of locks, so we want to compromise a bit.

Reduce the load by the following:

 (1) If a file is just created locally or has just been truncated with
     O_TRUNC locally, allow subsequent writes to the file to be merged with
     intervening space if that space doesn't cross an entire intervening
     page.

 (2) Don't flush the file on -&gt;flush() but rather on -&gt;release() if the
     file was open for writing.

Just linking vmlinux.o, without this patch, looking in /proc/fs/afs/stats:

	file-wr : n=441 nb=513581204

and after the patch:

	file-wr : n=62 nb=513668555

there were 379 fewer StoreData RPC operations at the expense of an extra
87K being written.

Add statistics to /proc/fs/afs/stats for data transfer RPC operations.  New
lines are added that look like:

	file-rd : n=55794 nb=10252282150
	file-wr : n=9789 nb=3247763645

where n= indicates the number of ops completed and nb= indicates the number
of bytes successfully transferred.  file-rd is the counts for read/fetch
operations and file-wr the counts for write/store operations.

Note that directory and symlink downloading are included in the file-rd
stats at the moment.
