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"
