When an AFS inode is allocated by afs_alloc_inode(), the allocated afs_vnode struct isn't necessarily reset from the last time it was used as an inode because the slab constructor is only invoked once when the memory is obtained from the page allocator. This means that information can leak from one inode to the next because we're not calling kmem_cache_zalloc(). Some of the information isn't reset, in particular the permit cache pointer. Bring the clearances up to date. Signed-off-by: NDavid Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Tested-by: NMarc Dionne <marc.dionne@auristor.com>

Fix the AFS file locking whereby the use of the big kernel lock (which could be slept with) was replaced by a spinlock (which couldn't). The problem is that the AFS code was doing stuff inside the critical section that might call schedule(), so this is a broken transformation. Fix this by the following means: (1) Use a state machine with a proper state that can only be changed under the spinlock rather than using a collection of bit flags. (2) Cache the key used for the lock and the lock type in the afs_vnode struct so that the manager work function doesn't have to refer to a file_lock struct that's been dequeued. This makes signal handling safer. (4) Move the unlock from afs_do_unlk() to afs_fl_release_private() which means that unlock is achieved in other circumstances too. (5) Unlock the file on the server before taking the next conflicting lock. Also change: (1) Check the permits on a file before actually trying the lock. (2) fsync the file before effecting an explicit unlock operation. We don't fsync if the lock is erased otherwise as we might not be in a context where we can actually do that. Further fixes: (1) Fixed-fileserver address rotation is made to work. It's only used by the locking functions, so couldn't be tested before.

Protect call->state changes against the call being prematurely terminated due to a signal. What can happen is that a signal causes afs_wait_for_call_to_complete() to abort an afs_call because it's not yet complete whilst afs_deliver_to_call() is delivering data to that call. If the data delivery causes the state to change, this may overwrite the state of the afs_call, making it not-yet-complete again - but no further notifications will be forthcoming from AF_RXRPC as the rxrpc call has been aborted and completed, so kAFS will just hang in various places waiting for that call or on page bits that need clearing by that call. A tracepoint to monitor call state changes is also provided. Signed-off-by: NDavid Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

Because parsing of the directory wasn't being done under any sort of lock, the pages holding the directory content can get invalidated whilst the parsing is ongoing. Further, the directory page check function gets called outside of the page lock, so if the page gets cleared or updated, this may return reports of bad magic numbers in the directory page. Also, the directory may change size whilst checking and parsing are ongoing, so more care needs to be taken here. Fix this by: (1) Perform the page check from the page filling function before we set PageUptodate and drop the page lock. (2) Check for the file having shrunk and the page having been abandoned before checking the page contents. (3) Lock the page whilst parsing it for the directory iterator. Whilst we're at it, add a tracepoint to report check failure. Signed-off-by: NDavid Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

YFS VL servers offer an upgraded Volume Location service that can return IPv6 addresses to fileservers and volume servers in addition to IPv4 addresses using the YFSVL.GetEndpoints operation which we should use if it's available. To this end: (1) Make rxrpc_kernel_recv_data() return the call's current service ID so that the caller can detect service upgrade and see what the service was upgraded to. (2) When we see a VL server address we haven't seen before, send a VL.GetCapabilities operation to it with the service upgrade bit set. If we get an upgrade to the YFS VL service, change the service ID in the address list for that address to use the upgraded service and set a flag to note that this appears to be a YFS-compatible server. (3) If, when a server's addresses are being looked up, we note that we previously detected a YFS-compatible server, then send the YFSVL.GetEndpoints operation rather than VL.GetAddrsU. (4) Build a fileserver address list from the reply of YFSVL.GetEndpoints, including both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Volume server addresses are discarded. (5) The address list is sorted by address and port now, instead of just address. This allows multiple servers on the same host sitting on different ports.

The current code assumes that volumes and servers are per-cell and are never shared, but this is not enforced, and, indeed, public cells do exist that are aliases of each other. Further, an organisation can, say, set up a public cell and a private cell with overlapping, but not identical, sets of servers. The difference is purely in the database attached to the VL servers. The current code will malfunction if it sees a server in two cells as it assumes global address -> server record mappings and that each server is in just one cell. Further, each server may have multiple addresses - and may have addresses of different families (IPv4 and IPv6, say). To this end, the following structural changes are made: (1) Server record management is overhauled: (a) Server records are made independent of cell. The namespace keeps track of them, volume records have lists of them and each vnode has a server on which its callback interest currently resides. (b) The cell record no longer keeps a list of servers known to be in that cell. (c) The server records are now kept in a flat list because there's no single address to sort on. (d) Server records are now keyed by their UUID within the namespace. (e) The addresses for a server are obtained with the VL.GetAddrsU rather than with VL.GetEntryByName, using the server's UUID as a parameter. (f) Cached server records are garbage collected after a period of non-use and are counted out of existence before purging is allowed to complete. This protects the work functions against rmmod. (g) The servers list is now in /proc/fs/afs/servers. (2) Volume record management is overhauled: (a) An RCU-replaceable server list is introduced. This tracks both servers and their coresponding callback interests. (b) The superblock is now keyed on cell record and numeric volume ID. (c) The volume record is now tied to the superblock which mounts it, and is activated when mounted and deactivated when unmounted. This makes it easier to handle the cache cookie without causing a double-use in fscache. (d) The volume record is loaded from the VLDB using VL.GetEntryByNameU to get the server UUID list. (e) The volume name is updated if it is seen to have changed when the volume is updated (the update is keyed on the volume ID). (3) The vlocation record is got rid of and VLDB records are no longer cached. Sufficient information is stored in the volume record, though an update to a volume record is now no longer shared between related volumes (volumes come in bundles of three: R/W, R/O and backup). and the following procedural changes are made: (1) The fileserver cursor introduced previously is now fleshed out and used to iterate over fileservers and their addresses. (2) Volume status is checked during iteration, and the server list is replaced if a change is detected. (3) Server status is checked during iteration, and the address list is replaced if a change is detected. (4) The abort code is saved into the address list cursor and -ECONNABORTED returned in afs_make_call() if a remote abort happened rather than translating the abort into an error message. This allows actions to be taken depending on the abort code more easily. (a) If a VMOVED abort is seen then this is handled by rechecking the volume and restarting the iteration. (b) If a VBUSY, VRESTARTING or VSALVAGING abort is seen then this is handled by sleeping for a short period and retrying and/or trying other servers that might serve that volume. A message is also displayed once until the condition has cleared. (c) If a VOFFLINE abort is seen, then this is handled as VBUSY for the moment. (d) If a VNOVOL abort is seen, the volume is rechecked in the VLDB to see if it has been deleted; if not, the fileserver is probably indicating that the volume couldn't be attached and needs salvaging. (e) If statfs() sees one of these aborts, it does not sleep, but rather returns an error, so as not to block the umount program. (5) The fileserver iteration functions in vnode.c are now merged into their callers and more heavily macroised around the cursor. vnode.c is removed. (6) Operations on a particular vnode are serialised on that vnode because the server will lock that vnode whilst it operates on it, so a second op sent will just have to wait. (7) Fileservers are probed with FS.GetCapabilities before being used. This is where service upgrade will be done. (8) A callback interest on a fileserver is set up before an FS operation is performed and passed through to afs_make_call() so that it can be set on the vnode if the operation returns a callback. The callback interest is passed through to afs_iget() also so that it can be set there too. In general, record updating is done on an as-needed basis when we try to access servers, volumes or vnodes rather than offloading it to work items and special threads. Notes: (1) Pre AFS-3.4 servers are no longer supported, though this can be added back if necessary (AFS-3.4 was released in 1998). (2) VBUSY is retried forever for the moment at intervals of 1s. (3) /proc/fs/afs/<cell>/servers no longer exists. Signed-off-by: NDavid Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

Add an RCU replaceable address list structure to hold a list of server addresses. The list also holds the To this end: (1) A cell's VL server address list can be loaded directly via insmod or echo to /proc/fs/afs/cells or dynamically from a DNS query for AFSDB or SRV records. (2) Anyone wanting to use a cell's VL server address must wait until the cell record comes online and has tried to obtain some addresses. (3) An FS server's address list, for the moment, has a single entry that is the key to the server list. This will change in the future when a server is instead keyed on its UUID and the VL.GetAddrsU operation is used. (4) An 'address cursor' concept is introduced to handle iteration through the address list. This is passed to the afs_make_call() as, in the future, stuff (such as abort code) that doesn't outlast the call will be returned in it. In the future, we might want to annotate the list with information about how each address fares. We might then want to propagate such annotations over address list replacement. Whilst we're at it, we allow IPv6 addresses to be specified in colon-delimited lists by enclosing them in square brackets. Signed-off-by: NDavid Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

Overhaul the way that the in-kernel AFS client keeps track of cells in the following manner: (1) Cells are now held in an rbtree to make walking them quicker and RCU managed (though this is probably overkill). (2) Cells now have a manager work item that: (A) Looks after fetching and refreshing the VL server list. (B) Manages cell record lifetime, including initialising and destruction. (B) Manages cell record caching whereby threads are kept around for a certain time after last use and then destroyed. (C) Manages the FS-Cache index cookie for a cell. It is not permitted for a cookie to be in use twice, so we have to be careful to not allow a new cell record to exist at the same time as an old record of the same name. (3) Each AFS network namespace is given a manager work item that manages the cells within it, maintaining a single timer to prod cells into updating their DNS records. This uses the reduce_timer() facility to make the timer expire at the soonest timed event that needs happening. (4) When a module is being unloaded, cells and cell managers are now counted out using dec_after_work() to make sure the module text is pinned until after the data structures have been cleaned up. (5) Each cell's VL server list is now protected by a seqlock rather than a semaphore. Signed-off-by: NDavid Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

Overhaul permit caching in AFS by making it per-vnode and sharing permit lists where possible. When most of the fileserver operations are called, they return a status structure indicating the (revised) details of the vnode or vnodes involved in the operation. This includes the access mark derived from the ACL (named CallerAccess in the protocol definition file). This is cacheable and if the ACL changes, the server will tell us that it is breaking the callback promise, at which point we can discard the currently cached permits. With this patch, the afs_permits structure has, at the end, an array of { key, CallerAccess } elements, sorted by key pointer. This is then cached in a hash table so that it can be shared between vnodes with the same access permits. Permit lists can only be shared if they contain the exact same set of key->CallerAccess mappings. Note that that table is global rather than being per-net_ns. If the keys in a permit list cross net_ns boundaries, there is no problem sharing the cached permits, since the permits are just integer masks. Since permit lists pin keys, the permit cache also makes it easier for a future patch to find all occurrences of a key and remove them by means of setting the afs_permits::invalidated flag and then clearing the appropriate key pointer. In such an event, memory barriers will need adding. Lastly, the permit caching is skipped if the server has sent either a vnode-specific or an entire-server callback since the start of the operation.

Overhaul the AFS callback handling by the following means: (1) Don't give up callback promises on vnodes that we are no longer using, rather let them just expire on the server or let the server break them. This is actually more efficient for the server as the callback lookup is expensive if there are lots of extant callbacks. (2) Only give up the callback promises we have from a server when the server record is destroyed. Then we can just give up *all* the callback promises on it in one go. (3) Servers can end up being shared between cells if cells are aliased, so don't add all the vnodes being backed by a particular server into a big FID-indexed tree on that server as there may be duplicates. Instead have each volume instance (~= superblock) register an interest in a server as it starts to make use of it and use this to allow the processor for callbacks from the server to find the superblock and thence the inode corresponding to the FID being broken by means of ilookup_nowait(). (4) Rather than iterating over the entire callback list when a mass-break comes in from the server, maintain a counter of mass-breaks in afs_server (cb_seq) and make afs_validate() check it against the copy in afs_vnode. It would be nice not to have to take a read_lock whilst doing this, but that's tricky without using RCU. (5) Save a ref on the fileserver we're using for a call in the afs_call struct so that we can access its cb_s_break during call decoding. (6) Write-lock around callback and status storage in a vnode and read-lock around getattr so that we don't see the status mid-update. This has the following consequences: (1) Data invalidation isn't seen until someone calls afs_validate() on a vnode. Unfortunately, we need to use a key to query the server, but getting one from a background thread is tricky without caching loads of keys all over the place. (2) Mass invalidation isn't seen until someone calls afs_validate(). (3) Callback breaking is going to hit the inode_hash_lock quite a bit. Could this be replaced with rcu_read_lock() since inodes are destroyed under RCU conditions. Signed-off-by: NDavid Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

Lay the groundwork for supporting network namespaces (netns) to the AFS filesystem by moving various global features to a network-namespace struct (afs_net) and providing an instance of this as a temporary global variable that everything uses via accessor functions for the moment. The following changes have been made: (1) Store the netns in the superblock info. This will be obtained from the mounter's nsproxy on a manual mount and inherited from the parent superblock on an automount. (2) The cell list is made per-netns. It can be viewed through /proc/net/afs/cells and also be modified by writing commands to that file. (3) The local workstation cell is set per-ns in /proc/net/afs/rootcell. This is unset by default. (4) The 'rootcell' module parameter, which sets a cell and VL server list modifies the init net namespace, thereby allowing an AFS root fs to be theoretically used. (5) The volume location lists and the file lock manager are made per-netns. (6) The AF_RXRPC socket and associated I/O bits are made per-ns. The various workqueues remain global for the moment. Changes still to be made: (1) /proc/fs/afs/ should be moved to /proc/net/afs/ and a symlink emplaced from the old name. (2) A per-netns subsys needs to be registered for AFS into which it can store its per-netns data. (3) Rather than the AF_RXRPC socket being opened on module init, it needs to be opened on the creation of a superblock in that netns. (4) The socket needs to be closed when the last superblock using it is destroyed and all outstanding client calls on it have been completed. This prevents a reference loop on the namespace. (5) It is possible that several namespaces will want to use AFS, in which case each one will need its own UDP port. These can either be set through /proc/net/afs/cm_port or the kernel can pick one at random. The init_ns gets 7001 by default. Other issues that need resolving: (1) The DNS keyring needs net-namespacing. (2) Where do upcalls go (eg. DNS request-key upcall)? (3) Need something like open_socket_in_file_ns() syscall so that AFS command line tools attempting to operate on an AFS file/volume have their RPC calls go to the right place.

In AFS, mountpoints appear as symlinks with mode 0644 and normal symlinks have mode 0777, so use this to distinguish them rather than reading the content and parsing it. In the case of a mountpoint, the symlink body is a formatted string indicating the location of the target volume. Note that with this, kAFS no longer 'pre-fetches' the contents of symlinks, so afs_readpage() may fail with an access-denial because when the VFS calls d_automount(), it wraps the call in an credentials override that sets the initial creds - thereby preventing access to the caller's keyrings and the authentication keys held therein.

Add a system call to make extended file information available, including file creation and some attribute flags where available through the underlying filesystem. The getattr inode operation is altered to take two additional arguments: a u32 request_mask and an unsigned int flags that indicate the synchronisation mode. This change is propagated to the vfs_getattr*() function. Functions like vfs_stat() are now inline wrappers around new functions vfs_statx() and vfs_statx_fd() to reduce stack usage. ======== OVERVIEW ======== The idea was initially proposed as a set of xattrs that could be retrieved with getxattr(), but the general preference proved to be for a new syscall with an extended stat structure. A number of requests were gathered for features to be included. The following have been included: (1) Make the fields a consistent size on all arches and make them large. (2) Spare space, request flags and information flags are provided for future expansion. (3) Better support for the y2038 problem [Arnd Bergmann] (tv_sec is an __s64). (4) Creation time: The SMB protocol carries the creation time, which could be exported by Samba, which will in turn help CIFS make use of FS-Cache as that can be used for coherency data (stx_btime). This is also specified in NFSv4 as a recommended attribute and could be exported by NFSD [Steve French]. (5) Lightweight stat: Ask for just those details of interest, and allow a netfs (such as NFS) to approximate anything not of interest, possibly without going to the server [Trond Myklebust, Ulrich Drepper, Andreas Dilger] (AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC). (6) Heavyweight stat: Force a netfs to go to the server, even if it thinks its cached attributes are up to date [Trond Myklebust] (AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC). And the following have been left out for future extension: (7) Data version number: Could be used by userspace NFS servers [Aneesh Kumar]. Can also be used to modify fill_post_wcc() in NFSD which retrieves i_version directly, but has just called vfs_getattr(). It could get it from the kstat struct if it used vfs_xgetattr() instead. (There's disagreement on the exact semantics of a single field, since not all filesystems do this the same way). (8) BSD stat compatibility: Including more fields from the BSD stat such as creation time (st_btime) and inode generation number (st_gen) [Jeremy Allison, Bernd Schubert]. (9) Inode generation number: Useful for FUSE and userspace NFS servers [Bernd Schubert]. (This was asked for but later deemed unnecessary with the open-by-handle capability available and caused disagreement as to whether it's a security hole or not). (10) Extra coherency data may be useful in making backups [Andreas Dilger]. (No particular data were offered, but things like last backup timestamp, the data version number and the DOS archive bit would come into this category). (11) Allow the filesystem to indicate what it can/cannot provide: A filesystem can now say it doesn't support a standard stat feature if that isn't available, so if, for instance, inode numbers or UIDs don't exist or are fabricated locally... (This requires a separate system call - I have an fsinfo() call idea for this). (12) Store a 16-byte volume ID in the superblock that can be returned in struct xstat [Steve French]. (Deferred to fsinfo). (13) Include granularity fields in the time data to indicate the granularity of each of the times (NFSv4 time_delta) [Steve French]. (Deferred to fsinfo). (14) FS_IOC_GETFLAGS value. These could be translated to BSD's st_flags. Note that the Linux IOC flags are a mess and filesystems such as Ext4 define flags that aren't in linux/fs.h, so translation in the kernel may be a necessity (or, possibly, we provide the filesystem type too). (Some attributes are made available in stx_attributes, but the general feeling was that the IOC flags were to ext[234]-specific and shouldn't be exposed through statx this way). (15) Mask of features available on file (eg: ACLs, seclabel) [Brad Boyer, Michael Kerrisk]. (Deferred, probably to fsinfo. Finding out if there's an ACL or seclabal might require extra filesystem operations). (16) Femtosecond-resolution timestamps [Dave Chinner]. (A __reserved field has been left in the statx_timestamp struct for this - if there proves to be a need). (17) A set multiple attributes syscall to go with this. =============== NEW SYSTEM CALL =============== The new system call is: int ret = statx(int dfd, const char *filename, unsigned int flags, unsigned int mask, struct statx *buffer); The dfd, filename and flags parameters indicate the file to query, in a similar way to fstatat(). There is no equivalent of lstat() as that can be emulated with statx() by passing AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW in flags. There is also no equivalent of fstat() as that can be emulated by passing a NULL filename to statx() with the fd of interest in dfd. Whether or not statx() synchronises the attributes with the backing store can be controlled by OR'ing a value into the flags argument (this typically only affects network filesystems): (1) AT_STATX_SYNC_AS_STAT tells statx() to behave as stat() does in this respect. (2) AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC will require a network filesystem to synchronise its attributes with the server - which might require data writeback to occur to get the timestamps correct. (3) AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC will suppress synchronisation with the server in a network filesystem. The resulting values should be considered approximate. mask is a bitmask indicating the fields in struct statx that are of interest to the caller. The user should set this to STATX_BASIC_STATS to get the basic set returned by stat(). It should be noted that asking for more information may entail extra I/O operations. buffer points to the destination for the data. This must be 256 bytes in size. ====================== MAIN ATTRIBUTES RECORD ====================== The following structures are defined in which to return the main attribute set: struct statx_timestamp { __s64 tv_sec; __s32 tv_nsec; __s32 __reserved; }; struct statx { __u32 stx_mask; __u32 stx_blksize; __u64 stx_attributes; __u32 stx_nlink; __u32 stx_uid; __u32 stx_gid; __u16 stx_mode; __u16 __spare0[1]; __u64 stx_ino; __u64 stx_size; __u64 stx_blocks; __u64 __spare1[1]; struct statx_timestamp stx_atime; struct statx_timestamp stx_btime; struct statx_timestamp stx_ctime; struct statx_timestamp stx_mtime; __u32 stx_rdev_major; __u32 stx_rdev_minor; __u32 stx_dev_major; __u32 stx_dev_minor; __u64 __spare2[14]; }; The defined bits in request_mask and stx_mask are: STATX_TYPE Want/got stx_mode & S_IFMT STATX_MODE Want/got stx_mode & ~S_IFMT STATX_NLINK Want/got stx_nlink STATX_UID Want/got stx_uid STATX_GID Want/got stx_gid STATX_ATIME Want/got stx_atime{,_ns} STATX_MTIME Want/got stx_mtime{,_ns} STATX_CTIME Want/got stx_ctime{,_ns} STATX_INO Want/got stx_ino STATX_SIZE Want/got stx_size STATX_BLOCKS Want/got stx_blocks STATX_BASIC_STATS [The stuff in the normal stat struct] STATX_BTIME Want/got stx_btime{,_ns} STATX_ALL [All currently available stuff] stx_btime is the file creation time, stx_mask is a bitmask indicating the data provided and __spares*[] are where as-yet undefined fields can be placed. Time fields are structures with separate seconds and nanoseconds fields plus a reserved field in case we want to add even finer resolution. Note that times will be negative if before 1970; in such a case, the nanosecond fields will also be negative if not zero. The bits defined in the stx_attributes field convey information about a file, how it is accessed, where it is and what it does. The following attributes map to FS_*_FL flags and are the same numerical value: STATX_ATTR_COMPRESSED File is compressed by the fs STATX_ATTR_IMMUTABLE File is marked immutable STATX_ATTR_APPEND File is append-only STATX_ATTR_NODUMP File is not to be dumped STATX_ATTR_ENCRYPTED File requires key to decrypt in fs Within the kernel, the supported flags are listed by: KSTAT_ATTR_FS_IOC_FLAGS [Are any other IOC flags of sufficient general interest to be exposed through this interface?] New flags include: STATX_ATTR_AUTOMOUNT Object is an automount trigger These are for the use of GUI tools that might want to mark files specially, depending on what they are. Fields in struct statx come in a number of classes: (0) stx_dev_*, stx_blksize. These are local system information and are always available. (1) stx_mode, stx_nlinks, stx_uid, stx_gid, stx_[amc]time, stx_ino, stx_size, stx_blocks. These will be returned whether the caller asks for them or not. The corresponding bits in stx_mask will be set to indicate whether they actually have valid values. If the caller didn't ask for them, then they may be approximated. For example, NFS won't waste any time updating them from the server, unless as a byproduct of updating something requested. If the values don't actually exist for the underlying object (such as UID or GID on a DOS file), then the bit won't be set in the stx_mask, even if the caller asked for the value. In such a case, the returned value will be a fabrication. Note that there are instances where the type might not be valid, for instance Windows reparse points. (2) stx_rdev_*. This will be set only if stx_mode indicates we're looking at a blockdev or a chardev, otherwise will be 0. (3) stx_btime. Similar to (1), except this will be set to 0 if it doesn't exist. ======= TESTING ======= The following test program can be used to test the statx system call: samples/statx/test-statx.c Just compile and run, passing it paths to the files you want to examine. The file is built automatically if CONFIG_SAMPLES is enabled. Here's some example output. Firstly, an NFS directory that crosses to another FSID. Note that the AUTOMOUNT attribute is set because transiting this directory will cause d_automount to be invoked by the VFS.

AFS uses a time based UUID to identify the host itself. This requires getting a timestamp which is currently done through the getnstimeofday() interface that we want to eventually get rid of. Instead of replacing it with a ktime-based interface, simply remove the entire function and use generate_random_uuid() instead, which has a v4 ("completely random") UUID instead of the time-based one.

Move the afs_uuid struct to linux/uuid.h, rename it to uuid_v1 and change the u16/u32 fields to __be16/__be32 instead so that the structure can be cast to a 16-octet network-order buffer. Signed-off-by: NDavid Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de

A static checker warning occurs in the AFS filesystem: fs/afs/cmservice.c:155 SRXAFSCB_CallBack() error: dereferencing freed memory 'call' due to the reply being sent before we access the server it points to. The act of sending the reply causes the call to be freed if an error occurs (but not if it doesn't). On top of this, the lifetime handling of afs_call structs is fragile because they get passed around through workqueues without any sort of refcounting. Deal with the issues by: (1) Fix the maybe/maybe not nature of the reply sending functions with regards to whether they release the call struct. (2) Refcount the afs_call struct and sort out places that need to get/put references. (3) Pass a ref through the work queue and release (or pass on) that ref in the work function. Care has to be taken because a work queue may already own a ref to the call. (4) Do the cleaning up in the put function only. (5) Simplify module cleanup by always incrementing afs_outstanding_calls whenever a call is allocated. (6) Set the backlog to 0 with kernel_listen() at the beginning of the process of closing the socket to prevent new incoming calls from occurring and to remove the contribution of preallocated calls from afs_outstanding_calls before we wait on it. A tracepoint is also added to monitor the afs_call refcount and lifetime.
