Locally edit the contents of an AFS directory upon a successful inode operation that modifies that directory (such as mkdir, create and unlink) so that we can avoid the current practice of re-downloading the directory after each change. This is viable provided that the directory version number we get back from the modifying RPC op is exactly incremented by 1 from what we had previously. The data in the directory contents is in a defined format that we have to parse locally to perform lookups and readdir, so modifying isn't a problem. If the edit fails, we just clear the VALID flag on the directory and it will be reloaded next time it is needed. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
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.
