mainlining shenanigans
b6489a49f7
Fix AFS's silly rename by the following means:
(1) Set the destination directory in afs_do_silly_rename() so as to avoid
misbehaviour and indicate that the directory data version will
increment by 1 so as to avoid warnings about unexpected changes in the
DV. Also indicate that the ctime should be updated to avoid xfstest
grumbling.
(2) Note when the server indicates that a directory changed more than we
expected (AFS_OPERATION_DIR_CONFLICT), indicating a conflict with a
third party change, checking on successful completion of unlink and
rename.
The problem is that the FS.RemoveFile RPC op doesn't report the status
of the unlinked file, though YFS.RemoveFile2 does. This can be
mitigated by the assumption that if the directory DV cranked by
exactly 1, we can be sure we removed one link from the file; further,
ordinarily in AFS, files cannot be hardlinked across directories, so
if we reduce nlink to 0, the file is deleted.
However, if the directory DV jumps by more than 1, we cannot know if a
third party intervened by adding or removing a link on the file we
just removed a link from.
The same also goes for any vnode that is at the destination of the
FS.Rename RPC op.
(3) Make afs_vnode_commit_status() apply the nlink drop inside the cb_lock
section along with the other attribute updates if ->op_unlinked is set
on the descriptor for the appropriate vnode.
(4) Issue a follow up status fetch to the unlinked file in the event of a
third party conflict that makes it impossible for us to know if we
actually deleted the file or not.
(5) Provide a flag, AFS_VNODE_SILLY_DELETED, to make afs_getattr() lie to
the user about the nlink of a silly deleted file so that it appears as
0, not 1.
Found with the generic/035 and generic/084 xfstests.

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.
