[ Upstream commit 1702e0654ca9a7bcd7c7619c8a5004db58945b71 ]
David Howells says:
(5) afs_find_server().
There could be a lot of servers in the list and each server can have
multiple addresses, so I think this would be better with an exclusive
second pass.
The server list isn't likely to change all that often, but when it does
change, there's a good chance several servers are going to be
added/removed one after the other. Further, this is only going to be
used for incoming cache management/callback requests from the server,
which hopefully aren't going to happen too often - but it is remotely
drivable.
(6) afs_find_server_by_uuid().
Similarly to (5), there could be a lot of servers to search through, but
they are in a tree not a flat list, so it should be faster to process.
Again, it's not likely to change that often and, again, when it does
change it's likely to involve multiple changes. This can be driven
remotely by an incoming cache management request but is mostly going to
be driven by setting up or reconfiguring a volume's server list -
something that also isn't likely to happen often.
Make the "seq" counter odd on the 2nd pass, otherwise read_seqbegin_or_lock()
never takes the lock.
