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.

If a callback break occurs (change notification), afs_getattr() needs to
issue an FS.FetchStatus RPC operation to update the status of the file
being examined by the stat-family of system calls.
Fix afs_getattr() to do this if AFS_VNODE_CB_PROMISED has been cleared
on a vnode by a callback break. Skip this if AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC is set.
This can be tested by appending to a file on one AFS client and then
using "stat -L" to examine its length on a machine running kafs. This
can also be watched through tracing on the kafs machine. The callback
break is seen:
kworker/1:1-46 [001] ..... 978.910812: afs_cb_call: c=0000005f YFSCB.CallBack
kworker/1:1-46 [001] ...1. 978.910829: afs_cb_break: 100058:23b4c:242d2c2 b=2 s=1 break-cb
kworker/1:1-46 [001] ..... 978.911062: afs_call_done: c=0000005f ret=0 ab=0 [0000000082994ead]
And then the stat command generated no traffic if unpatched, but with
this change a call to fetch the status can be observed:
stat-4471 [000] ..... 986.744122: afs_make_fs_call: c=000000ab 100058:023b4c:242d2c2 YFS.FetchStatus
stat-4471 [000] ..... 986.745578: afs_call_done: c=000000ab ret=0 ab=0 [0000000087fc8c84]
