Hi Markus, Marc,
Here's a set of fixes to improve the interaction of arbitrary lookups in
the AFS dynamic root that hit DNS lookup failures[1]:
(1) Always delete unused (particularly negative) dentries as soon as
possible so that they don't prevent future lookups from retrying.
(2) Fix the handling of new-style negative DNS lookups in ->lookup() to
make them return ENOENT so that userspace doesn't get confused when
stat succeeds but the following open on the looked up file then fails.
(3) Fix key handling so that DNS lookup results are reclaimed as soon as
they expire rather than sitting round either forever or for an
additional 5 mins beyond a set expiry time returning EKEYEXPIRED.
The patches can be found here:

Thanks,
David
