Linus Torvalds 16c00db4bb Merge tag 'afs-fixes-20180514' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs
Pull AFS fixes from David Howells:
 "Here's a set of patches that fix a number of bugs in the in-kernel AFS
  client, including:

   - Fix directory locking to not use individual page locks for
     directory reading/scanning but rather to use a semaphore on the
     afs_vnode struct as the directory contents must be read in a single
     blob and data from different reads must not be mixed as the entire
     contents may be shuffled about between reads.

   - Fix address list parsing to handle port specifiers correctly.

   - Only give up callback records on a server if we actually talked to
     that server (we might not be able to access a server).

   - Fix some callback handling bugs, including refcounting,
     whole-volume callbacks and when callbacks actually get broken in
     response to a CB.CallBack op.

   - Fix some server/address rotation bugs, including giving up if we
     can't probe a server; giving up if a server says it doesn't have a
     volume, but there are more servers to try.

   - Fix the decoding of fetched statuses to be OpenAFS compatible.

   - Fix the handling of server lookups in Cache Manager ops (such as
     CB.InitCallBackState3) to use a UUID if possible and to handle no
     server being found.

   - Fix a bug in server lookup where not all addresses are compared.

   - Fix the non-encryption of calls that prevents some servers from
     being accessed (this also requires an AF_RXRPC patch that has
     already gone in through the net tree).

  There's also a patch that adds tracepoints to log Cache Manager ops
  that don't find a matching server, either by UUID or by address"

perf-help(1)
============
NAME
----
perf-help - display help information about perf
SYNOPSIS
--------
'perf help' [-a|--all] [COMMAND]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
With no options and no COMMAND given, the synopsis of the 'perf'
command and a list of the most commonly used perf commands are printed
on the standard output.
If the option '--all' or '-a' is given, then all available commands are
printed on the standard output.
If a perf command is named, a manual page for that command is brought
up. The 'man' program is used by default for this purpose, but this
can be overridden by other options or configuration variables.
Note that `perf --help ...` is identical to `perf help ...` because the
former is internally converted into the latter.
OPTIONS
-------
-a::
--all::
Prints all the available commands on the standard output. This
option supersedes any other option.
PERF
----
Part of the linkperf:perf[1] suite
