Pull AFS updates from David Howells:
 "kAFS filesystem driver overhaul.

  The major points of the overhaul are:

   (1) Preliminary groundwork is laid for supporting network-namespacing
       of kAFS. The remainder of the namespacing work requires some way
       to pass namespace information to submounts triggered by an
       automount. This requires something like the mount overhaul that's
       in progress.

   (2) sockaddr_rxrpc is used in preference to in_addr for holding
       addresses internally and add support for talking to the YFS VL
       server. With this, kAFS can do everything over IPv6 as well as
       IPv4 if it's talking to servers that support it.

   (3) Callback handling is overhauled to be generally passive rather
       than active. 'Callbacks' are promises by the server to tell us
       about data and metadata changes. Callbacks are now checked when
       we next touch an inode rather than actively going and looking for
       it where possible.

   (4) File access permit caching is overhauled to store the caching
       information per-inode rather than per-directory, shared over
       subordinate files. Whilst older AFS servers only allow ACLs on
       directories (shared to the files in that directory), newer AFS
       servers break that restriction.

       To improve memory usage and to make it easier to do mass-key
       removal, permit combinations are cached and shared.

   (5) Cell database management is overhauled to allow lighter locks to
       be used and to make cell records autonomous state machines that
       look after getting their own DNS records and cleaning themselves
       up, in particular preventing races in acquiring and relinquishing
       the fscache token for the cell.

   (6) Volume caching is overhauled. The afs_vlocation record is got rid
       of to simplify things and the superblock is now keyed on the cell
       and the numeric volume ID only. The volume record is tied to a
       superblock and normal superblock management is used to mediate
       the lifetime of the volume fscache token.

   (7) File server record caching is overhauled to make server records
       independent of cells and volumes. A server can be in multiple
       cells (in such a case, the administrator must make sure that the
       VL services for all cells correctly reflect the volumes shared
       between those cells).

       Server records are now indexed using the UUID of the server
       rather than the address since a server can have multiple
       addresses.

   (8) File server rotation is overhauled to handle VMOVED, VBUSY (and
       similar), VOFFLINE and VNOVOL indications and to handle rotation
       both of servers and addresses of those servers. The rotation will
       also wait and retry if the server says it is busy.

   (9) Data writeback is overhauled. Each inode no longer stores a list
       of modified sections tagged with the key that authorised it in
       favour of noting the modified region of a page in page->private
       and storing a list of keys that made modifications in the inode.

       This simplifies things and allows other keys to be used to
       actually write to the server if a key that made a modification
       becomes useless.

  (10) Writable mmap() is implemented. This allows a kernel to be build
       entirely on AFS.

  Note that Pre AFS-3.4 servers are no longer supported, though this can
  be added back if necessary (AFS-3.4 was released in 1998)"
