If a callback break occurs (change notification), afs_getattr() needs to issue an FS.FetchStatus RPC operation to update the status of the file being examined by the stat-family of system calls. Fix afs_getattr() to do this if AFS_VNODE_CB_PROMISED has been cleared on a vnode by a callback break. Skip this if AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC is set. This can be tested by appending to a file on one AFS client and then using "stat -L" to examine its length on a machine running kafs. This can also be watched through tracing on the kafs machine. The callback break is seen: kworker/1:1-46 [001] ..... 978.910812: afs_cb_call: c=0000005f YFSCB.CallBack kworker/1:1-46 [001] ...1. 978.910829: afs_cb_break: 100058:23b4c:242d2c2 b=2 s=1 break-cb kworker/1:1-46 [001] ..... 978.911062: afs_call_done: c=0000005f ret=0 ab=0 [0000000082994ead] And then the stat command generated no traffic if unpatched, but with this change a call to fetch the status can be observed: stat-4471 [000] ..... 986.744122: afs_make_fs_call: c=000000ab 100058:023b4c:242d2c2 YFS.FetchStatus stat-4471 [000] ..... 986.745578: afs_call_done: c=000000ab ret=0 ab=0 [0000000087fc8c84] Fixes: 08e0e7c82eea ("[AF_RXRPC]: Make the in-kernel AFS filesystem use AF_RXRPC.")
