Subject: [PATCH 0/5] afs: Fixes and development


Hi Al,

Here's a set of AFS patches, one fixes, but mostly development.  The fix is:

 (1) Fix AFS to build if CONFIG_PROC_FS=n.

and the development patches:

 (1) Make AFS show all of a server's addresses in /proc/fs/afs/servers.

 (2) Allow DNS upcalls to ask for IPv6 addresses.

 (3) Add directories to the dynamic root pseudo-superblock to represent the
     names of known cells.

     This needs checking as it adds a VFS function to look up a dentry
     without creating one if it doesn't exist.  This is used to find a
     dentry if it exists so that we can delete it.

 (4) Optimise the handling of change notifications from the server
     (callback breaks) to avoid doing a volume lookup for every callback
     broken if there are two or more with the same volume ID.

The patches can be found here also:
