Pull AFS updates from David Howells:
"A set of fix and development patches for AFS for 5.2.
Summary:
- Fix the AFS file locking so that sqlite can run on an AFS mount and
also so that firefox and gnome can use a homedir that's mounted
through AFS.
This required emulation of fine-grained locking when the server
will only support whole-file locks and no upgrade/downgrade. Four
modes are provided, settable by mount parameter:
"flock=local" - No reference to the server
"flock=openafs" - Fine-grained locks are local-only, whole-file
locks require sufficient server locks
"flock=strict" - All locks require sufficient server locks
"flock=write" - Always get an exclusive server lock
If the volume is a read-only or backup volume, then flock=local for
that volume.
- Log extra information for a couple of cases where the client mucks
up somehow: AFS vnode with undefined type and dir check failure -
in both cases we seem to end up with unfilled data, but the issues
happen infrequently and are difficult to reproduce at will.
- Implement silly rename for unlink() and rename().
- Set i_blocks so that du can get some information about usage.
- Fix xattr handlers to return the right amount of data and to not
overflow buffers.
- Implement getting/setting raw AFS and YFS ACLs as xattrs"

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.
