David Howells dd9fbcb8e1 afs: Rearrange status mapping
Rearrange the AFSFetchStatus to inode attribute mapping code in a number of
ways:

 (1) Use an XDR structure rather than a series of incremented pointer
     accesses when decoding an AFSFetchStatus object.  This allows
     out-of-order decode.

 (2) Don't store the if_version value but rather just check it and abort if
     it's not something we can handle.

 (3) Store the owner and group in the status record as raw values rather
     than converting them to kuid/kgid.  Do that when they're mapped into
     i_uid/i_gid.

 (4) Validate the type and abort code up front and abort if they're wrong.

 (5) Split the inode attribute setting out into its own function from the
     XDR decode of an AFSFetchStatus object.  This allows it to be called
     from elsewhere too.

 (6) Differentiate changes to data from changes to metadata.

 (7) Use the split-out attribute mapping function from afs_iget().

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.
