Support the AFS dynamic root which is a pseudo-volume that doesn't connect
to any server resource, but rather is just a root directory that
dynamically creates mountpoint directories where the name of such a
directory is the name of the cell.

Such a mount can be created thus:

	mount -t afs none /afs -o dyn

Dynamic root superblocks aren't shared except by bind mounts and
propagation.  Cell root volumes can then be mounted by referring to them by
name, e.g.:

	ls /afs/grand.central.org/
	ls /afs/.grand.central.org/

The kernel will upcall to consult the DNS if the address wasn't supplied
directly.

Rearrange afs_select_fileserver() a little to put the use_server chunk
before the next_server chunk so that with the removal of a couple of gotos
the main path through the function is all one sequence.

<content type='text'>
Fix server list handling in the following ways:

 (1) In afs_alloc_volume(), remove duplicate server list build code.  This
     was already done by afs_alloc_server_list() which afs_alloc_volume()
     previously called.  This just results in twice as many VL RPCs.

 (2) In afs_deliver_vl_get_entry_by_name_u(), use the number of server
     records indicated by -&gt;nServers in the UVLDB record returned by the
     VL.GetEntryByNameU RPC call rather than scanning all NMAXNSERVERS
     slots.  Unused slots may contain garbage.

 (3) In afs_alloc_server_list(), don't stop converting a UVLDB record into
     a server list just because we can't look up one of the servers.  Just
     skip that server and go on to the next.  If we can't look up any of
     the servers then we'll fail at the end.

Without this patch, an attempt to view the umich.edu root cell using
something like "ls /afs/umich.edu" on a dynamic root (future patch) mount
or an autocell mount will result in ENOMEDIUM.  The failure is due to kafs
not stopping after nServers'worth of records have been read, but then
trying to access a server with a garbage UUID and getting an error, which
aborts the server list build.

In afs_select_fileserver(), we need to clear the -&gt;responded flag in the
address list when reusing it.  We should also clear it in
afs_select_current_fileserver().

To this end, just memset() the object before initialising it.

<title>afs: Fix missing cursor clearance</title>

afs_select_fileserver() ends the address cursor it is using in the case in
which we get some sort of network error and run out of addresses to iterate
through, before it jumps to try the next server.  This also needs to be
done when the server aborts with some sort of error that means we should
try the next server.

Fix this by:

 (1) Move the iterate_address afs_end_cursor() call to the next_server
     case.

 (2) End the cursor in the failed case.

 (3) Make afs_end_cursor() clear the -&gt;begun flag and -&gt;addr pointer in the
     address cursor.

 (4) Make afs_end_cursor() able to be called on an already cleared cursor.

Without this, something like the following oops may occur:

	AFS: Assertion failed
	18446612134397189888 == 0 is false
	0xffff88007c279f00 == 0x0 is false

afs_alloc_volume() needs to release the cell ref it obtained in the case of
an error.  Fix this by adding an afs_put_cell() call into the error path.

This can triggered when a lookup for a cell in a dynamic root or an
autocell mount returns an error whilst trying to look up the server (such
as ENOMEDIUM).  This results in an assertion failure oops when the module
is unloaded due to outstanding refs on a cell record.

Pull inode-&gt;i_version rework from Jeff Layton:
 "This pile of patches is a rework of the inode-&gt;i_version field. We
  have traditionally incremented that field on every inode data or
  metadata change. Typically this increment needs to be logged on disk
  even when nothing else has changed, which is rather expensive.

  It turns out though that none of the consumers of that field actually
  require this behavior. The only real requirement for all of them is
  that it be different iff the inode has changed since the last time the
  field was checked.

  Given that, we can optimize away most of the i_version increments and
  avoid dirtying inode metadata when the only change is to the i_version
  and no one is querying it. Queries of the i_version field are rather
  rare, so we can help write performance under many common workloads.

  This patch series converts existing accesses of the i_version field to
  a new API, and then converts all of the in-kernel filesystems to use
  it. The last patch in the series then converts the backend
  implementation to a scheme that optimizes away a large portion of the
  metadata updates when no one is looking at it.

  In my own testing this series significantly helps performance with
  small I/O sizes. I also got this email for Christmas this year from
  the kernel test robot (a 244% r/w bandwidth improvement with XFS over
  DAX, with 4k writes):

    https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/25/8

  A few of the earlier patches in this pile are also flowing to you via
  other trees (mm, integrity, and nfsd trees in particular)".

For AFS, it's generally treated as an opaque value, so we use the
*_raw variants of the API here.

Note that AFS has quite a different definition for this counter. AFS
only increments it on changes to the data to the data in regular files
and contents of the directories. Inode metadata changes do not result
in a version increment.

We'll need to reconcile that somehow if we ever want to present this to
userspace via statx.
