Subject: [PATCH] afs: Fix vlserver probe RTT handling

Hi Linus,

Could you apply this, please?

Thanks,
David

In the same spirit as commit ca57f02295f1 ("afs: Fix fileserver
probe RTT handling"), don't rule out using a vlserver just because
there haven't been enough packets yet to calculate a real rtt.
Always set the server's probe rtt from the estimate provided by
rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt, which is capped at 1 second.

This could lead to EDESTADDRREQ errors when accessing a cell for
the first time, even though the vl servers are known and have
responded to a probe.

Fixes: 1d4adfaf6574 ("rxrpc: Make rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt() indicate validity")
