David Howells 428edade4e afs: Fix CB.CallBack handling
The handling of CB.CallBack messages sent by the fileserver to the client
is broken in that they are currently being processed after the reply has
been transmitted.

This is not what the fileserver expects, however.  It holds up change
visibility until the reply comes so as to maintain cache coherency, and so
expects the client to have to refetch the state on the affected files.

Fix CB.CallBack handling to perform the callback break before sending the
reply.

The fileserver is free to hold up status fetches issued by other threads on
the same client that occur in reponse to the callback until any pending
changes have been committed.

Fixes: d001648ec7 ("rxrpc: Don't expose skbs to in-kernel users [ver #2]")

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
