David Howells 5cf9dd55a0 afs: Prospectively look up extra files when doing a single lookup
When afs_lookup() is called, prospectively look up the next 50 uncached
fids also from that same directory and cache the results, rather than just
looking up the one file requested.

This allows us to use the FS.InlineBulkStatus RPC op to increase efficiency
by fetching up to 50 file statuses at a time.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
