Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/1] rxrpc: Remove use of skbs from AFS [ver #2]


Here's a single patch that removes the use of sk_buffs from fs/afs.  From
this point on they'll be entirely retained within net/rxrpc and AFS just
asks AF_RXRPC for linear buffers of data.  This needs to be applied on top
of the just-posted preparatory patch set.

This makes some future developments easier/possible:

 (1) Simpler rxrpc_call usage counting.

 (2) Earlier freeing of metadata sk_buffs.

 (3) Rx phase shortcutting on abort/error.

 (4) Encryption/decryption in the AFS fs contexts/threads and directly
     between sk_buffs and AFS buffers.

 (5) Synchronous waiting in reception for AFS.

Changes:

 (V2) Fixed afs_transfer_reply() whereby call->offset was incorrectly being
      added to the buffer pointer (it doesn't matter as long as the reply
      fits entirely inside a single packet).

      Removed an unused goto-label and an unused variable.
