When applying the status and callback in the response of an operation,
apply them in the same critical section so that there's no race between
checking the callback state and checking status-dependent state (such as
the data version).
Fix this by:
(1) Allocating a joint {status,callback} record (afs_status_cb) before
calling the RPC function for each vnode for which the RPC reply
contains a status or a status plus a callback. A flag is set in the
record to indicate if a callback was actually received.
(2) These records are passed into the RPC functions to be filled in. The
afs_decode_status() and yfs_decode_status() functions are removed and
the cb_lock is no longer taken.
(3) xdr_decode_AFSFetchStatus() and xdr_decode_YFSFetchStatus() no longer
update the vnode.
(4) xdr_decode_AFSCallBack() and xdr_decode_YFSCallBack() no longer update
the vnode.
(5) vnodes, expected data-version numbers and callback break counters
(cb_break) no longer need to be passed to the reply delivery
functions.
Note that, for the moment, the file locking functions still need
access to both the call and the vnode at the same time.
(6) afs_vnode_commit_status() is now given the cb_break value and the
expected data_version and the task of applying the status and the
callback to the vnode are now done here.
This is done under a single taking of vnode->cb_lock.
(7) afs_pages_written_back() is now called by afs_store_data() rather than
by the reply delivery function.
afs_pages_written_back() has been moved to before the call point and
is now given the first and last page numbers rather than a pointer to
the call.
(8) The indicator from YFS.RemoveFile2 as to whether the target file
actually got removed (status.abort_code == VNOVNODE) rather than
merely dropping a link is now checked in afs_unlink rather than in
xdr_decode_YFSFetchStatus().
Supplementary fixes:
(*) afs_cache_permit() now gets the caller_access mask from the
afs_status_cb object rather than picking it out of the vnode's status
record. afs_fetch_status() returns caller_access through its argument
list for this purpose also.
(*) afs_inode_init_from_status() now uses a write lock on cb_lock rather
than a read lock and now sets the callback inside the same critical
section.

README
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.
