Pull AFS updates from David Howells:
 "There's some core VFS changes which affect a couple of filesystems:

   - Make the inode hash table RCU safe and providing some RCU-safe
     accessor functions. The search can then be done without taking the
     inode_hash_lock. Care must be taken because the object may be being
     deleted and no wait is made.

   - Allow iunique() to avoid taking the inode_hash_lock.

   - Allow AFS's callback processing to avoid taking the inode_hash_lock
     when using the inode table to find an inode to notify.

   - Improve Ext4's time updating. Konstantin Khlebnikov said "For now,
     I've plugged this issue with try-lock in ext4 lazy time update.
     This solution is much better."

  Then there's a set of changes to make a number of improvements to the
  AFS driver:

   - Improve callback (ie. third party change notification) processing
     by:

      (a) Relying more on the fact we're doing this under RCU and by
          using fewer locks. This makes use of the RCU-based inode
          searching outlined above.

      (b) Moving to keeping volumes in a tree indexed by volume ID
          rather than a flat list.

      (c) Making the server and volume records logically part of the
          cell. This means that a server record now points directly at
          the cell and the tree of volumes is there. This removes an N:M
          mapping table, simplifying things.

   - Improve keeping NAT or firewall channels open for the server
     callbacks to reach the client by actively polling the fileserver on
     a timed basis, instead of only doing it when we have an operation
     to process.

   - Improving detection of delayed or lost callbacks by including the
     parent directory in the list of file IDs to be queried when doing a
     bulk status fetch from lookup. We can then check to see if our copy
     of the directory has changed under us without us getting notified.

   - Determine aliasing of cells (such as a cell that is pointed to be a
     DNS alias). This allows us to avoid having ambiguity due to
     apparently different cells using the same volume and file servers.

   - Improve the fileserver rotation to do more probing when it detects
     that all of the addresses to a server are listed as non-responsive.
     It's possible that an address that previously stopped responding
     has become responsive again.

  Beyond that, lay some foundations for making some calls asynchronous:

   - Turn the fileserver cursor struct into a general operation struct
     and hang the parameters off of that rather than keeping them in
     local variables and hang results off of that rather than the call
     struct.

   - Implement some general operation handling code and simplify the
     callers of operations that affect a volume or a volume component
     (such as a file). Most of the operation is now done by core code.

   - Operations are supplied with a table of operations to issue
     different variants of RPCs and to manage the completion, where all
     the required data is held in the operation object, thereby allowing
     these to be called from a workqueue.

   - Put the standard "if (begin), while(select), call op, end" sequence
     into a canned function that just emulates the current behaviour for
     now.

  There are also some fixes interspersed:

   - Don't let the EACCES from ICMP6 mapping reach the user as such,
     since it's confusing as to whether it's a filesystem error. Convert
     it to EHOSTUNREACH.

   - Don't use the epoch value acquired through probing a server. If we
     have two servers with the same UUID but in different cells, it's
     hard to draw conclusions from them having different epoch values.

   - Don't interpret the argument to the CB.ProbeUuid RPC as a
     fileserver UUID and look up a fileserver from it.

   - Deal with servers in different cells having the same UUIDs. In the
     event that a CB.InitCallBackState3 RPC is received, we have to
     break the callback promises for every server record matching that
     UUID.

   - Don't let afs_statfs return values that go below 0.

   - Don't use running fileserver probe state to make server selection
     and address selection decisions on. Only make decisions on final
     state as the running state is cleared at the start of probing"
