David Howells 4be5975aea afs: Further fix file locking
Further fix the file locking in the afs filesystem client in a number of
ways, including:

 (1) Don't submit the operation to obtain a lock from the server in a work
     queue context, but rather do it in the process context of whoever
     issued the requesting system call.

 (2) The owner of the file_lock struct at the front of the pending_locks
     queue now owns right to talk to the server.

 (3) Write locks can be instantly granted if they don't overlap with any
     other locks *and* we have a write lock on the server.

 (4) In the event of an authentication/permission error, all other matching
     pending locks requests are also immediately aborted.

 (5) Properly use VFS core locks_lock_file_wait() to distribute the server
     lock amongst local client locks, including waiting for the lock to
     become available.

Test with:

	sqlite3 /afs/.../scratch/billings.sqlite <<EOF
	CREATE TABLE hosts (
	    hostname varchar(80),
	    shorthost varchar(80),
	    room varchar(30),
	    building varchar(30),
	    PRIMARY KEY(shorthost)
	    );
	EOF

With the version of sqlite3 that I have, this should fail consistently with
EAGAIN, whether or not the program is straced (which introduces some delays
between lock syscalls).

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.
