<content type='text'>
The recent patch to fix the afs_server struct leak didn't actually fix the
bug, but rather fixed some of the symptoms.  The problem is that an
asynchronous call that holds a resource pointed to by call-&gt;reply[0] will
find the pointer cleared in the call destructor, thereby preventing the
resource from being cleaned up.

In the case of the server record leak, the afs_fs_get_capabilities()
function in devel code sets up a call with reply[0] pointing at the server
record that should be altered when the result is obtained, but this was
being cleared before the destructor was called, so the put in the
destructor does nothing and the record is leaked.

Commit f014ffb025c1 removed the additional ref obtained by
afs_install_server(), but the removal of this ref is actually used by the
garbage collector to mark a server record as being defunct after the record
has expired through lack of use.

The offending clearance of call-&gt;reply[0] upon completion in
afs_process_async_call() has been there from the origin of the code, but
none of the asynchronous calls actually use that pointer currently, so it
should be safe to remove (note that synchronous calls don't involve this
function).

Fix this by the following means:

 (1) Revert commit f014ffb025c1.

 (2) Remove the clearance of reply[0] from afs_process_async_call().

Without this, afs_manage_servers() will suffer an assertion failure if it
sees a server record that didn't get used because the usage count is not 1.

Fix a leak of afs_server structs.  The routine that installs them in the
various lookup lists and trees gets a ref on leaving the function, whether
it added the server or a server already exists.  It shouldn't increment
the refcount if it added the server.

The effect of this that "rmmod kafs" will hang waiting for the leaked
server to become unused.

Access to the list of cells by /proc/net/afs/cells has a couple of
problems:

 (1) It should be checking against SEQ_START_TOKEN for the keying the
     header line.

 (2) It's only holding the RCU read lock, so it can't just walk over the
     list without following the proper RCU methods.

Fix these by using an hlist instead of an ordinary list and using the
appropriate accessor functions to follow it with RCU.

Since the code that adds a cell to the list must also necessarily change,
sort the list on insertion whilst we're at it.

<title>afs: Fix cell specification to permit an empty address list</title>

<id>ecfe951f0c1b169ea4b7dd6f3a404dfedd795bc2</id>
<content type='text'>
Fix the cell specification mechanism to allow cells to be pre-created
without having to specify at least one address (the addresses will be
upcalled for).

This allows the cell information preload service to avoid the need to issue
loads of DNS lookups during boot to get the addresses for each cell (500+
lookups for the 'standard' cell list[*]).  The lookups can be done later as
each cell is accessed through the filesystem.

Also remove the print statement that prints a line every time a new cell is
added.

[*] There are 144 cells in the list.  Each cell is first looked up for an
    SRV record, and if that fails, for an AFSDB record.  These get a list
    of server names, each of which then has to be looked up to get the
    addresses for that server.  E.g.:

	dig srv _afs3-vlserver._udp.grand.central.org

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.

Pull vfs lookup() updates from Al Viro:
 "More conversions of -&gt;lookup() to d_splice_alias().

  Should be reasonably complete now - the only leftovers are in ceph"

* 'work.lookup' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  afs_try_auto_mntpt(): return NULL instead of ERR_PTR(-ENOENT)
  afs_lookup(): switch to d_splice_alias()
  afs: switch dynroot lookups to d_splice_alias()
  hpfs: fix an inode leak in lookup, switch to d_splice_alias()
  hostfs_lookup: switch to d_splice_alias()

-&gt;lookup() methods can (and should) use d_splice_alias() instead of
d_add().  Even if they are not going to be hit by open_by_handle(),
code does get copied around; besides, d_splice_alias() has better
calling conventions for use in -&gt;lookup(), so the code gets simpler.
