AFS vnodes (files) are referenced by a triplet of { volume ID, vnode ID,
uniquifier }. Currently, kafs is only using the vnode ID as the file key
in the volume fscache index and checking the uniquifier on cookie
acquisition against the contents of the auxiliary data stored in the cache.
Unfortunately, this is subject to a race in which an FS.RemoveFile or
FS.RemoveDir op is issued against the server but the local afs inode isn't
torn down and disposed off before another thread issues something like
FS.CreateFile. The latter then gets given the vnode ID that just got
removed, but with a new uniquifier and a cookie collision occurs in the
cache because the cookie is only keyed on the vnode ID whereas the inode is
keyed on the vnode ID plus the uniquifier.
Fix this by keying the cookie on the uniquifier in addition to the vnode ID
and dropping the uniquifier from the auxiliary data supplied.

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.
