Pull misc AFS fixes from David Howells:
 "This fixes a set of miscellaneous issues in the afs filesystem,
  including:

   - leak of keys on file close.

   - broken error handling in xattr functions.

   - missing locking when updating VL server list.

   - volume location server DNS lookup whereby preloaded cells may not
     ever get a lookup and regular DNS lookups to maintain server lists
     consume power unnecessarily.

   - incorrect error propagation and handling in the fileserver
     iteration code causes operations to sometimes apparently succeed.

   - interruption of server record check/update side op during
     fileserver iteration causes uninterruptible main operations to fail
     unexpectedly.

   - callback promise expiry time miscalculation.

   - over invalidation of the callback promise on directories.

   - double locking on callback break waking up file locking waiters.

   - double increment of the vnode callback break counter.

  Note that it makes some changes outside of the afs code, including:

   - an extra parameter to dns_query() to allow the dns_resolver key
     just accessed to be immediately invalidated. AFS is caching the
     results itself, so the key can be discarded.

   - an interruptible version of wait_var_event().

   - an rxrpc function to allow the maximum lifespan to be set on a
     call.

   - a way for an rxrpc call to be marked as non-interruptible"

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
