====================
afs: Refcount afs_call struct
These patches provide some tracepoints for AFS and fix a potential leak by
adding refcounting to the afs_call struct.
The patches are:
(1) Add some tracepoints for logging incoming calls and monitoring
notifications from AF_RXRPC and data reception.
(2) Get rid of afs_wait_mode as it didn't turn out to be as useful as
initially expected. It can be brought back later if needed. This
clears some stuff out that I don't then need to fix up in (4).
(3) Allow listen(..., 0) to be used to disable listening. This makes
shutting down the AFS cache manager server in the kernel much easier
and the accounting simpler as we can then be sure that (a) all
preallocated afs_call structs are relesed and (b) no new incoming
calls are going to be started.
For the moment, listening cannot be reenabled.
(4) Add refcounting to the afs_call struct to fix a potential multiple
release detected by static checking and add a tracepoint to follow the
lifecycle of afs_call objects.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
