Subject: [PATCH 0/3] AFS fixes


Hi Al,

Here's a set of fixes for AFS if you could pass them on to Linus:

 (1) Fix the interaction between vnode (inode) state validation and
     callback-break.  There are some unhandled cases that lead to kafs
     transmitting a FetchStatus request on every validate call after the
     server's record of the client expires due to lack of use and is
     discarded.

 (2) Fix some missing network error handling, and improve what happens when
     multiple errors are produced because an operation is duplicated across
     multiple servers.

 (3) Use d_instantiate() rather than d_add() and don't call d_drop() when
     instantiating a new inode.

The patches can be found here also:
