David Howells f49b594df3 afs: Keep a record of the current fileserver endpoint state
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.

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.
