Fix warnings raised by checker, including:
(*) Warnings raised by unequal comparison for the purposes of sorting,
where the endianness doesn't matter:
fs/afs/addr_list.c:246:21: warning: restricted __be16 degrades to integer
fs/afs/addr_list.c:246:30: warning: restricted __be16 degrades to integer
fs/afs/addr_list.c:248:21: warning: restricted __be32 degrades to integer
fs/afs/addr_list.c:248:49: warning: restricted __be32 degrades to integer
fs/afs/addr_list.c:283:21: warning: restricted __be16 degrades to integer
fs/afs/addr_list.c:283:30: warning: restricted __be16 degrades to integer
(*) afs_set_cb_interest() is not actually used and can be removed.
(*) afs_cell_gc_delay() should be provided with a sysctl.
(*) afs_cell_destroy() needs to use rcu_access_pointer() to read
cell->vl_addrs.
(*) afs_init_fs_cursor() should be static.
(*) struct afs_vnode::permit_cache needs to be marked __rcu.
(*) afs_server_rcu() needs to use rcu_access_pointer().
(*) afs_destroy_server() should use rcu_access_pointer() on
server->addresses as the server object is no longer accessible.
(*) afs_find_server() casts __be16/__be32 values to int in order to
directly compare them for the purpose of finding a match in a list,
but is should also annotate the cast with __force to avoid checker
warnings.
(*) afs_check_permit() accesses vnode->permit_cache outside of the RCU
readlock, though it doesn't then access the value; the extraneous
access is deleted.
False positives:
(*) Conditional locking around the code in xdr_decode_AFSFetchStatus. This
can be dealt with in a separate patch.
fs/afs/fsclient.c:148:9: warning: context imbalance in 'xdr_decode_AFSFetchStatus' - different lock contexts for basic block
(*) Incorrect handling of seq-retry lock context balance:
fs/afs/inode.c:455:38: warning: context imbalance in 'afs_getattr' - different
lock contexts for basic block
fs/afs/server.c:52:17: warning: context imbalance in 'afs_find_server' - different lock contexts for basic block
fs/afs/server.c:128:17: warning: context imbalance in 'afs_find_server_by_uuid' - different lock contexts for basic block
Errors:
(*) afs_lookup_cell_rcu() needs to break out of the seq-retry loop, not go
round again if it successfully found the workstation cell.
(*) Fix UUID decode in afs_deliver_cb_probe_uuid().
(*) afs_cache_permit() has a missing rcu_read_unlock() before one of the
jumps to the someone_else_changed_it label. Move the unlock to after
the label.
(*) afs_vl_get_addrs_u() is using ntohl() rather than htonl() when
encoding to XDR.
(*) afs_deliver_yfsvl_get_endpoints() is using htonl() rather than ntohl()
when decoding from XDR.

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.
