Pull afs updates from David Howells:
 "The majority of the patches are aimed at fixing and improving the AFS
  filesystem's rotation over server IP addresses, but there are also
  some fixes from Oleg Nesterov for the use of read_seqbegin_or_lock().

   - Fix fileserver probe handling so that the next round of probes
     doesn't break ongoing server/address rotation by clearing all the
     probe result tracking. This could occasionally cause the rotation
     algorithm to drop straight through, give a 'successful' result
     without actually emitting any RPC calls, leaving the reply buffer
     in an undefined state.

     Instead, detach the probe results into a separate struct and
     allocate a new one each time we start probing and update the
     pointer to it. Probes are also sent in order of address preference
     to try and improve the chance that the preferred one will complete
     first.

   - Fix server rotation so that it uses configurable address
     preferences across on the probes that have completed so far than
     ranking them by RTT as the latter doesn't necessarily give the best
     route. The preference list can be altered by writing into
     /proc/net/afs/addr_prefs.

   - Fix the handling of Read-Only (and Backup) volume callbacks as
     there is one per volume, not one per file, so if someone performs a
     command that, say, offlines the volume but doesn't change it, when
     it comes back online we don't spam the server with a status fetch
     for every vnode we're using. Instead, check the Creation timestamp
     in the VolSync record when prompted by a callback break.

   - Handle volume regression (ie. a RW volume being restored from a
     backup) by scrubbing all cache data for that volume. This is
     detected from the VolSync creation timestamp.

   - Adjust abort handling and abort -> error mapping to match better
     with what other AFS clients do.

   - Fix offline and busy volume state handling as they only apply to
     individual server instances and not entire volumes and the rotation
     algorithm should go and look at other servers if available. Also
     make it sleep briefly before each retry if all the volume instances
     are unavailable"

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.
