Fix the fileserver rotation code in a couple of ways:
(1) op->server_states is an array, not a pointer to a single record, so
fix the places that access it to index it.
(2) In the places that go through an address list to work out which one
has the best priority, fix the loops to skip known failed addresses.
Without this, the rotation algorithm may get stuck on addresses that are
inaccessible or don't respond.
This can be triggered manually by finding a server that advertises a
non-routable address and giving it a higher priority, eg.:
echo "add udp 192.168.0.0/16 3000" >/proc/fs/afs/addr_prefs
if the server, say, includes the address 192.168.7.7 in its address list,
and then attempting to access a volume on that server.

The current code assumes that offline and busy volume states apply to all
instances of a volume, not just the one on the server that returned
VOFFLINE or VBUSY and will emit a notice to dmesg suggesting that the
entire volume is unavailable.
Fix that by moving the flags recording this to the afs_server_entry struct
that is used to represent a particular instance of a volume on a specific
server. The notice is altered to include the server UUID also.

Fix the fileserver rotation so that it doesn't use RTT as the basis for
deciding which server and address to use as this doesn't necessarily give a
good indication of the best path. Instead, use the configurable preference
list in conjunction with whatever probes have succeeded at the time of
looking.
To this end, make the following changes:
(1) Keep an array of "server states" to track what addresses we've tried
on each server and move the waitqueue entries there that we'll need
for probing.
(2) Each afs_server_state struct is made to pin the corresponding server's
endpoint state rather than the afs_operation struct carrying a pin on
the server we're currently looking at.
(3) Drop the server list preference; we now always rescan the server list.
(4) afs_wait_for_probes() now uses the server state list to guide it in
what it waits for (and to provide the waitqueue entries) and returns
an indication of whether we'd got a response, run out of responsive
addresses or the endpoint state had been superseded and we need to
restart the iteration.
(5) Call afs_get_address_preferences*() occasionally to refresh the
preference values.
(6) When picking a server, scan the addresses of the servers for which we
have as-yet untested communications, looking for the highest priority
one and use that instead of trying all the addresses for a particular
server in ascending-RTT order.
(7) When a Busy or Offline state is seen across all available servers, do
a short sleep.
(8) If we detect that we accessed a future RO volume version whilst it is
undergoing replication, reissue the op against the older version until
at least half of the servers are replicated.
(9) Whilst RO replication is ongoing, increase the frequency of Volume
Location server checks for that volume to every ten minutes instead of
hourly.
Also add a tracepoint to track progress through the rotation algorithm.

Overhaul the third party-induced invalidation handling, making use of the
previously added volume-level event counters (cb_scrub and cb_ro_snapshot)
that are now being parsed out of the VolSync record returned by the
fileserver in many of its replies.
This allows better handling of RO (and Backup) volumes. Since these are
snapshot of a RW volume that are updated atomically simultantanously across
all servers that host them, they only require a single callback promise for
the entire volume. The currently upstream code assumes that RO volumes
operate in the same manner as RW volumes, and that each file has its own
individual callback - which means that it does a status fetch for *every*
file in a RO volume, whether or not the volume got "released" (volume
callback breaks can occur for other reasons too, such as the volumeserver
taking ownership of a volume from a fileserver).
To this end, make the following changes:
(1) Change the meaning of the volume's cb_v_break counter so that it is
now a hint that we need to issue a status fetch to work out the state
of a volume. cb_v_break is incremented by volume break callbacks and
by server initialisation callbacks.
(2) Add a second counter, cb_v_check, to the afs_volume struct such that
if this differs from cb_v_break, we need to do a check. When the
check is complete, cb_v_check is advanced to what cb_v_break was at
the start of the status fetch.
(3) Move the list of mmap'd vnodes to the volume and trigger removal of
PTEs that map to files on a volume break rather than on a server
break.
(4) When a server reinitialisation callback comes in, use the
server-to-volume reverse mapping added in a preceding patch to iterate
over all the volumes using that server and clear the volume callback
promises for that server and the general volume promise as a whole to
trigger reanalysis.
(5) Replace the AFS_VNODE_CB_PROMISED flag with an AFS_NO_CB_PROMISE
(TIME64_MIN) value in the cb_expires_at field, reducing the number of
checks we need to make.
(6) Change afs_check_validity() to quickly see if various event counters
have been incremented or if the vnode or volume callback promise is
due to expire/has expired without making any changes to the state.
That is now left to afs_validate() as this may get more complicated in
future as we may have to examine server records too.
(7) Overhaul afs_validate() so that it does a single status fetch if we
need to check the state of either the vnode or the volume - and do so
under appropriate locking. The function does the following steps:
(A) If the vnode/volume is no longer seen as valid, then we take the
vnode validation lock and, if the volume promise has expired, the
volume check lock also. The latter prevents redundant checks being
made to find out if a new version of the volume got released.
(B) If a previous RPC call found that the volsync changed unexpectedly
or that a RO volume was updated, then we unmap all PTEs pointing to
the file to stop mmap being used for access.
(C) If the vnode is still seen to be of uncertain validity, then we
perform an FS.FetchStatus RPC op to jointly update the volume status
and the vnode status. This assessment is done as part of parsing the
reply:
If the RO volume creation timestamp advances, cb_ro_snapshot is
incremented; if either the creation or update timestamps changes in
an unexpected way, the cb_scrub counter is incremented
If the Data Version returned doesn't match the copy we have
locally, then we ask for the pagecache to be zapped. This takes
care of handling RO update.
(D) If cb_scrub differs between volume and vnode, the vnode's
pagecache is zapped and the vnode's cb_scrub is updated unless the
file is marked as having been deleted.

A number of fileserver RPC operations return a VolSync record as part of
their reply that gives some information about the state of the volume being
accessed, including:
(1) A volume Creation timestamp. For an RW volume, this is the time at
which the volume was created; if it changes, the RW volume was
presumably restored from a backup and all cached data should be
scrubbed as Data Version numbers could regress on the files in the
volume.
For an RO volume, this is the time it was last snapshotted from the RW
volume. It is expected to advance each time this happens; if it
regresses, cached data should be scrubbed.
(2) A volume Update timestamp (Auristor only). For an RW volume, this is
updated any time any change is made to a volume or its contents. If
it regresses, all cached data must be scrubbed.
For an RO volume, this is a copy of the RW volume's Update timestamp
at the point of snapshotting. It can be used as a version number when
checking to see if a callback on a RO volume was due to a snapshot.
If it regresses, all cached data must be scrubbed.
but this is currently not made use of by the in-kernel afs filesystem.
Make the afs filesystem use this by:
(1) Add an update time field to the afs_volsync struct and use a value of
TIME64_MIN in both that and the creation time to indicate that they
are unset.
(2) Add creation and update time fields to the afs_volume struct and use
this to track the two timestamps.
(3) Add a volsync_lock mutex to the afs_volume struct to control
modification access for when we detect a change in these values.
(3) Add a 'pre-op volsync' struct to the afs_operation struct to record
the state of the volume tracking before the op.
(4) Add a new counter, cb_scrub, to the afs_volume struct to count events
that require all data to be scrubbed. A copy is placed in the
afs_vnode struct (inode) and if they no longer match, a scrub takes
place.
(5) When the result of an operation is being parsed, parse the VolSync
data too, if it is provided. Note that the two timestamps are handled
separately, since they don't work in quite the same way.
- If the afs_volume tracking is unset, just set it and do nothing
else.
- If the result timestamps are the same as the ones in afs_volume, do
nothing.
- If the timestamps regress, increment cb_scrub if not already done
so.
- If the creation timestamp on a RW volume changes, increment cb_scrub
if not already done so.
- If the creation timestamp on a RO volume advances, update the server
list and see if the current server has been excluded, if so reissue
the op. Once over half of the replication sites have been updated,
increment cb_ro_snapshot to indicate updates may be required and
switch over to excluding unupdated replication sites.
- If the creation timestamp on a Backup volume advances, just
increment cb_ro_snapshot to trigger updates.

Don't leave servers that are marked VLSF_DONTUSE or VLSF_NEWREPSITE out of
the server list for a volume; rather, mark DONTUSE ones excluded and mark
either NEWREPSITE excluded if the number of updated servers is <50% of the
usable servers or mark !NEWREPSITE excluded otherwise.
Mark the server list as a whole with a 3-state flag to indicate whether we
think the RW volume is being replicated to the RO volume, and, if so,
whether we should switch to using updated replication sites
(VLSF_NEWREPSITE) or stick with the old for now.
This processing is pushed up from the VLDB RPC reply parser to the code

Keep a record of the current fileserver endpoint state, including the probe
state, and replace it when a new probe is started rather than just
squelching the old state and overwriting it. Clearance of the old state
can cause a race if there's another thread also currently trying to
communicate with that server.
It appears that this race might be the culprit for some occasions where
kafs complains about invalid data in the RPC reply because the rotation
algorithm fell all the way through without actually issuing an RPC call and
the error return got filled in from the probe state (which has a zero error
recorded). Whatever happens to be in the caller's reply buffer is then
taken as the response.

Change rxrpc's API such that:

rxrpc_peer record for a remote address and a corresponding function,
rxrpc_kernel_put_peer(), is provided to dispose of it again.
(2) When setting up a call, the rxrpc_peer object used during a call is
now passed in rather than being set up by rxrpc_connect_call(). For
afs, this meenat passing it to rxrpc_kernel_begin_call() rather than
the full address (the service ID then has to be passed in as a
separate parameter).
(3) A new function, rxrpc_kernel_remote_addr(), is added so that afs can
get a pointer to the transport address for display purposed, and
another, rxrpc_kernel_remote_srx(), to gain a pointer to the full
rxrpc address.
(4) The function to retrieve the RTT from a call, rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt(),
is then altered to take a peer. This now returns the RTT or -1 if

(5) Rename rxrpc_kernel_get_peer() to rxrpc_kernel_call_get_peer().
(6) Provide a new function, rxrpc_kernel_get_peer(), to get a ref on a

This allows the afs filesystem to pin the rxrpc_peer records that it is
using, allowing faster lookups and pointer comparisons rather than
comparing sockaddr_rxrpc contents. It also makes it easier to get hold of

(1) The addr_list struct's addrs[] elements now hold a peer struct pointer
and a service ID rather than a sockaddr_rxrpc.
(2) When displaying the transport address, rxrpc_kernel_remote_addr() is
used.
(3) The port arg is removed from afs_alloc_addrlist() since it's always
overridden.
(4) afs_merge_fs_addr4() and afs_merge_fs_addr6() do peer lookup and may
now return an error that must be handled.
(5) afs_find_server() now takes a peer pointer to specify the address.

If a client's address changes, say if it is NAT'd, this can disrupt an in
progress operation. For most operations, this is not much of a problem,
but StoreData can be different as some servers modify the target file as
the data comes in, so if a store request is disrupted, the file can get
corrupted on the server.
The problem is that the server doesn't recognise packets that come after
the change of address as belonging to the original client and will bounce
them, either by sending an OUT_OF_SEQUENCE ACK to the apparent new call if
the packet number falls within the initial sequence number window of a call
or by sending an EXCEEDS_WINDOW ACK if it falls outside and then aborting
it. In both cases, firstPacket will be 1 and previousPacket will be 0 in
the ACK information.
Fix this by the following means:
(1) If a client call receives an EXCEEDS_WINDOW ACK with firstPacket as 1
and previousPacket as 0, assume this indicates that the server saw the
incoming packets from a different peer and thus as a different call.
Fail the call with error -ENETRESET.
(2) Also fail the call if a similar OUT_OF_SEQUENCE ACK occurs if the
first packet has been hard-ACK'd. If it hasn't been hard-ACK'd, the
ACK packet will cause it to get retransmitted, so the call will just
be repeated.
(3) Make afs_select_fileserver() treat -ENETRESET as a straight fail of
the operation.
(4) Prioritise the error code over things like -ECONNRESET as the server
did actually respond.
(5) Make writeback treat -ENETRESET as a retryable error and make it
redirty all the pages involved in a write so that the VM will retry.
Note that there is still a circumstance that I can't easily deal with: if
the operation is fully received and processed by the server, but the reply
is lost due to address change. There's no way to know if the op happened.
We can examine the server, but a conflicting change could have been made by
a third party - and we can't tell the difference. In such a case, a
message like:
kAFS: vnode modified {100058:146266} b7->b8 YFS.StoreData64 (op=2646a)
will be logged to dmesg on the next op to touch the file and the client
will reset the inode state, including invalidating clean parts of the
pagecache.

Try to avoid taking the RCU read lock when checking the validity of a
vnode's callback state. The only thing it's needed for is to pin the
parent volume's server list whilst we search it to find the record of the
server we're currently using to see if it has been reinitialised (ie. it
sent us a CB.InitCallBackState* RPC).
Do this by the following means:
(1) Keep an additional per-cell counter (fs_s_break) that's incremented
each time any of the fileservers in the cell reinitialises.
Since the new counter can be accessed without RCU from the vnode, we
can check that first - and only if it differs, get the RCU read lock
and check the volume's server list.
(2) Replace afs_get_s_break_rcu() with afs_check_server_good() which now
indicates whether the callback promise is still expected to be present
on the server. This does the checks as described in (1).
(3) Restructure afs_check_validity() to take account of the change in (2).
We can also get rid of the valid variable and just use the need_clear
variable with the addition of the afs_cb_break_no_promise reason.
(4) afs_check_validity() probably shouldn't be altering vnode->cb_v_break
and vnode->cb_s_break when it doesn't have cb_lock exclusively locked.
Move the change to vnode->cb_v_break to __afs_break_callback().
Delegate the change to vnode->cb_s_break to afs_select_fileserver()
and set vnode->cb_fs_s_break there also.
(5) afs_validate() no longer needs to get the RCU read lock around its
call to afs_check_validity() - and can skip the call entirely if we
don't have a promise.

Reorganise afs_volume objects such that they're in a tree keyed on volume
ID, rooted at on an afs_cell object rather than being in multiple trees,
each of which is rooted on an afs_server object.
afs_server structs become per-cell and acquire a pointer to the cell.
The process of breaking a callback then starts with finding the server by
its network address, following that to the cell and then looking up each
volume ID in the volume tree.
This is simpler than the afs_vol_interest/afs_cb_interest N:M mapping web
and allows those structs and the code for maintaining them to be simplified
or removed.
It does make a couple of things a bit more tricky, though:
(1) Operations now start with a volume, not a server, so there can be more
than one answer as to whether or not the server we'll end up using
supports the FS.InlineBulkStatus RPC.
(2) CB RPC operations that specify the server UUID. There's still a tree
of servers by UUID on the afs_net struct, but the UUIDs in it aren't
guaranteed unique.

Put in the first phase of cell alias detection. This part handles alias
detection for cells that have root.cell volumes (which is expected to be
likely).
When a cell becomes newly active, it is probed for its root.cell volume,
and if it has one, this volume is compared against other root.cell volumes
to find out if the list of fileserver UUIDs have any in common - and if
that's the case, do the address lists of those fileservers have any
addresses in common. If they do, the new cell is adjudged to be an alias
of the old cell and the old cell is used instead.
Comparing is aided by the server list in struct afs_server_list being
sorted in UUID order and the addresses in the fileserver address lists
being sorted in address order.
The cell then retains the afs_volume object for the root.cell volume, even
if it's not mounted for future alias checking.
This necessary because:
(1) Whilst fileservers have UUIDs that are meant to be globally unique, in
practice they are not because cells get cloned without changing the
UUIDs - so afs_server records need to be per cell.
(2) Sometimes the DNS is used to make cell aliases - but if we don't know
they're the same, we may end up with multiple superblocks and multiple
afs_server records for the same thing, impairing our ability to
deliver callback notifications of third party changes
(3) The fileserver RPC API doesn't contain the cell name, so it can't tell
us which cell it's notifying and can't see that a change made to to
one cell should notify the same client that's also accessed as the
other cell.

Turn the afs_operation struct into the main way that most fileserver
operations are managed. Various things are added to the struct, including
the following:
(1) All the parameters and results of the relevant operations are moved
into it, removing corresponding fields from the afs_call struct.
afs_call gets a pointer to the op.
(2) The target volume is made the main focus of the operation, rather than
the target vnode(s), and a bunch of op->vnode->volume are made
op->volume instead.
(3) Two vnode records are defined (op->file[]) for the vnode(s) involved
in most operations. The vnode record (struct afs_vnode_param)
contains:
- The vnode pointer.
- The fid of the vnode to be included in the parameters or that was
returned in the reply (eg. FS.MakeDir).
- The status and callback information that may be returned in the
reply about the vnode.
- Callback break and data version tracking for detecting
simultaneous third-parth changes.
(4) Pointers to dentries to be updated with new inodes.
(5) An operations table pointer. The table includes pointers to functions
for issuing AFS and YFS-variant RPCs, handling the success and abort
of an operation and handling post-I/O-lock local editing of a
directory.
To make this work, the following function restructuring is made:
(A) The rotation loop that issues calls to fileservers that can be found
in each function that wants to issue an RPC (such as afs_mkdir()) is
extracted out into common code, in a new file called fs_operation.c.
(B) The rotation loops, such as the one in afs_mkdir(), are replaced with
a much smaller piece of code that allocates an operation, sets the
parameters and then calls out to the common code to do the actual
work.
(C) The code for handling the success and failure of an operation are
moved into operation functions (as (5) above) and these are called
from the core code at appropriate times.
(D) The pseudo inode getting stuff used by the dynamic root code is moved
over into dynroot.c.
(E) struct afs_iget_data is absorbed into the operation struct and
afs_iget() expects to be given an op pointer and a vnode record.
(F) Point (E) doesn't work for the root dir of a volume, but we know the
FID in advance (it's always vnode 1, unique 1), so a separate inode
getter, afs_root_iget(), is provided to special-case that.
(G) The inode status init/update functions now also take an op and a vnode
record.
(H) The RPC marshalling functions now, for the most part, just take an
afs_operation struct as their only argument. All the data they need
is held there. The result delivery functions write their answers
there as well.
(I) The call is attached to the operation and then the operation core does
the waiting.
And then the new operation code is, for the moment, made to just initialise
the operation, get the appropriate vnode I/O locks and do the same rotation
loop as before.
This lays the foundation for the following changes in the future:
(*) Overhauling the rotation (again).
(*) Support for asynchronous I/O, where the fileserver rotation must be
done asynchronously also.

As a prelude to implementing asynchronous fileserver operations in the afs
filesystem, rename struct afs_fs_cursor to afs_operation.
This struct is going to form the core of the operation management and is
going to acquire more members in later.

When an AFS client accesses a file, it receives a limited-duration callback
promise that the server will notify it if another client changes a file.
This callback duration can be a few hours in length.
If a client mounts a volume and then an application prevents it from being
unmounted, say by chdir'ing into it, but then does nothing for some time,
the rxrpc_peer record will expire and rxrpc-level keepalive will cease.
If there is NAT or a firewall between the client and the server, the route
back for the server may close after a comparatively short duration, meaning
that attempts by the server to notify the client may then bounce.
The client, however, may (so far as it knows) still have a valid unexpired
promise and will then rely on its cached data and will not see changes made
on the server by a third party until it incidentally rechecks the status or
the promise needs renewal.
To deal with this, the client needs to regularly probe the server. This
has two effects: firstly, it keeps a route open back for the server, and
secondly, it causes the server to disgorge any notifications that got
queued up because they couldn't be sent.
Fix this by adding a mechanism to emit regular probes.
Two levels of probing are made available: Under normal circumstances the
'slow' queue will be used for a fileserver - this just probes the preferred
address once every 5 mins or so; however, if server fails to respond to any
probes, the server will shift to the 'fast' queue from which all its
interfaces will be probed every 30s. When it finally responds, the record
will switch back to the slow queue.
Further notes:
(1) Probing is now no longer driven from the fileserver rotation
algorithm.
(2) Probes are dispatched to all interfaces on a fileserver when that an
afs_server object is set up to record it.
(3) The afs_server object is removed from the probe queues when we start
to probe it. afs_is_probing_server() returns true if it's not listed
- ie. it's undergoing probing.
(4) The afs_server object is added back on to the probe queue when the
final outstanding probe completes, but the probed_at time is set when
we're about to launch a probe so that it's not dependent on the probe
duration.
(5) The timer and the work item added for this must be handed a count on
net->servers_outstanding, which they hand on or release. This makes
sure that network namespace cleanup waits for them.

Make certain RPC operations non-interruptible, including:
(*) Set attributes
(*) Store data
We don't want to get interrupted during a flush on close, flush on
unlock, writeback or an inode update, leaving us in a state where we
still need to do the writeback or update.
(*) Extend lock
(*) Release lock
We don't want to get lock extension interrupted as the file locks on
the server are time-limited. Interruption during lock release is less
of an issue since the lock is time-limited, but it's better to
complete the release to avoid a several-minute wait to recover it.
*Setting* the lock isn't a problem if it's interrupted since we can
just return to the user and tell them they were interrupted - at
which point they can elect to retry.
(*) Silly unlink
We want to remove silly unlink files if we can, rather than leaving
them for the salvager to clear up.
Note that whilst these calls are no longer interruptible, they do have
timeouts on them, so if the server stops responding the call will fail with
something like ETIME or ECONNRESET.
Without this, the following:
kAFS: Unexpected error from FS.StoreData -512
appears in dmesg when a pending store data gets interrupted and some
processes may just hang.
Additionally, make the code that checks/updates the server record ignore
failure due to interruption if the main call is uninterruptible and if the
server has an address list. The next op will check it again since the
expiration time on the old list has past.

Under some circumstances afs_select_fileserver() can return without setting
an error in fc->error. The problem is in the no_more_servers segment where
the accumulated errors from attempts to contact various servers are
integrated into an afs_error-type variable 'e'. The resultant error code
is, however, then abandoned.
Fix this by getting the error out of e.error and putting it in 'error' so
that the next part will store it into fc->error.
Not doing this causes a report like the following:
kAFS: AFS vnode with undefined type 0
kAFS: A=0 m=0 s=0 v=0
kAFS: vnode 20000025:1:1
because the code following the server selection loop then sees what it
thinks is a successful invocation because fc.error is 0. However, it can't
apply the status record because it's all zeros.

kAFS can be given certain network errors (EADDRNOTAVAIL, EHOSTDOWN and
ERFKILL) that it doesn't handle in its server/address rotation algorithms.
They cause the probing and rotation to abort immediately rather than
rotating.
Fix this by:
(1) Abstracting out the error prioritisation from the VL and FS rotation
algorithms into a common function and expand usage into the server
probing code.
When multiple errors are available, this code selects the one we'd
prefer to return.
(2) Add handling for EADDRNOTAVAIL, EHOSTDOWN and ERFKILL.

Improve the error handling in FS server rotation by:
(1) Cache the latest useful error value for the fs operation as a whole in
struct afs_fs_cursor separately from the error cached in the
afs_addr_cursor struct. The one in the address cursor gets clobbered
occasionally. Copy over the error to the fs operation only when it's
something we'd be interested in passing to userspace.
(2) Make it so that EDESTADDRREQ is the default that is seen only if no
addresses are available to be accessed.
(3) When calling utility functions, such as checking a volume status or
probing a fileserver, don't let a successful result clobber the cached
error in the cursor; instead, stash the result in a temporary variable
until it has been assessed.
(4) Don't return ETIMEDOUT or ETIME if a better error, such as
ENETUNREACH, is already cached.
(5) On leaving the rotation loop, turn any remote abort code into a more
useful error than ECONNABORTED.

Sometimes an in-progress call will stop responding on the fileserver when
the fileserver quietly cancels the call with an internally marked abort
(RX_CALL_DEAD), without sending an ABORT to the client.
This causes the client's call to eventually expire from lack of incoming
packets directed its way, which currently leads to it being cancelled
locally with ETIME. Note that it's not currently clear as to why this
happens as it's really hard to reproduce.
The rotation policy implement by kAFS, however, doesn't differentiate
between ETIME meaning we didn't get any response from the server and ETIME
meaning the call got cancelled mid-flow. The latter leads to an oops when
fetching data as the rotation partially resets the afs_read descriptor,
which can result in a cleared page pointer being dereferenced because that
page has already been filled.
Handle this by the following means:
(1) Set a flag on a call when we receive a packet for it.
(2) Store the highest packet serial number so far received for a call
(bearing in mind this may wrap).
(3) If, when the "not received anything recently" timeout expires on a
call, we've received at least one packet for a call and the connection
as a whole has received packets more recently than that call, then
cancel the call locally with ECONNRESET rather than ETIME.
This indicates that the call was definitely in progress on the server.
(4) In kAFS, if the rotation algorithm sees ECONNRESET rather than ETIME,
don't try the next server, but rather abort the call.
This avoids the oops as we don't try to reuse the afs_read struct.
Rather, as-yet ungotten pages will be reread at a later data.
Also:
(5) Add an rxrpc tracepoint to log detection of the call being reset.
Without this, I occasionally see an oops like the following:

If a volume location record lists multiple file servers for a volume, then
it's possible that due to a misconfiguration or a changing configuration
that one of the file servers doesn't know about it yet and will abort
VNOVOL. Currently, the rotation algorithm will stop with EREMOTEIO.
Fix this by moving on to try the next server if VNOVOL is returned. Once
all the servers have been tried and the record rechecked, the algorithm
