Merge tag 'afs-fixes-20200616' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs

Pull AFS fixes from David Howells:
 "I've managed to get xfstests kind of working with afs. Here are a set
  of patches that fix most of the bugs found.

  There are a number of primary issues:

   - Incorrect handling of mtime and non-handling of ctime. It might be
     argued, that the latter isn't a bug since the AFS protocol doesn't
     support ctime, but I should probably still update it locally.

   - Shared-write mmap, truncate and writeback bugs. This includes not
     changing i_size under the callback lock, overwriting local i_size
     with the reply from the server after a partial writeback, not
     limiting the writeback from an mmapped page to EOF.

   - Checks for an abort code indicating that the primary vnode in an
     operation was deleted by a third-party are done in the wrong place.

   - Silly rename bugs. This includes an incomplete conversion to the
     new operation handling, duplicate nlink handling, nlink changing
     not being done inside the callback lock and insufficient handling
     of third-party conflicting directory changes.

  And some secondary ones:

   - The UAEOVERFLOW abort code should map to EOVERFLOW not EREMOTEIO.

   - Remove a couple of unused or incompletely used bits.

   - Remove a couple of redundant success checks.

  These seem to fix all the data-corruption bugs found by

	./check -afs -g quick

  along with the obvious silly rename bugs and time bugs.

  There are still some test failures, but they seem to fall into two
  classes: firstly, the authentication/security model is different to
  the standard UNIX model and permission is arbitrated by the server and
  cached locally; and secondly, there are a number of features that AFS
  does not support (such as mknod). But in these cases, the tests
  themselves need to be adapted or skipped.

  Using the in-kernel afs client with xfstests also found a bug in the
  AuriStor AFS server that has been fixed for a future release"
