mainlining shenanigans
When a lookup is done in an AFS directory, the filesystem will speculate and fetch up to 49 other statuses for files in the same directory and fetch those as well, turning them into inodes or updating inodes that already exist. However, occasionally, a callback break might go missing due to NAT timing out, but the afs filesystem doesn't then realise that the directory is not up to date. Alleviate this by using one of the status slots to check the directory in which the lookup is being done.

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. 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.
