David Howells 811f04bac1 afs: Fix interruption of operations
The afs filesystem driver allows unstarted operations to be cancelled by
signal, but most of these can easily be restarted (mkdir for example).  The
primary culprits for reproducing this are those applications that use
SIGALRM to display a progress counter.

File lock-extension operation is marked uninterruptible as we have a
limited time in which to do it, and the release op is marked
uninterruptible also as if we fail to unlock a file, we'll have to wait 20
mins before anyone can lock it again.

The store operation logs a warning if it gets interruption, e.g.:

	kAFS: Unexpected error from FS.StoreData -4

because it's run from the background - but it can also be run from
fdatasync()-type things.  However, store options aren't marked
interruptible at the moment.

Fix this in the following ways:

 (1) Mark store operations as uninterruptible.  It might make sense to
     relax this for certain situations, but I'm not sure how to make sure
     that background store ops aren't affected by signals to foreground
     processes that happen to trigger them.

 (2) In afs_get_io_locks(), where we're getting the serialisation lock for
     talking to the fileserver, return ERESTARTSYS rather than EINTR
     because a lot of the operations (e.g. mkdir) are restartable if we
     haven't yet started sending the op to the server.

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.

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.
