Fix missing cell comparison in afs_test_super(). Without this, any pair
volumes that have the same volume ID will share a superblock, no matter the
cell, unless they're in different network namespaces.
Normally, most users will only deal with a single cell and so they won't
see this. Even if they do look into a second cell, they won't see a
problem unless they happen to hit a volume with the same ID as one they've
already got mounted.
Before the patch:
# ls /afs/grand.central.org/archive
linuxdev/ mailman/ moin/ mysql/ pipermail/ stage/ twiki/
# ls /afs/kth.se/
linuxdev/ mailman/ moin/ mysql/ pipermail/ stage/ twiki/
# cat /proc/mounts | grep afs
none /afs afs rw,relatime,dyn,autocell 0 0
#grand.central.org:root.cell /afs/grand.central.org afs ro,relatime 0 0
#grand.central.org:root.archive /afs/grand.central.org/archive afs ro,relatime 0 0
#grand.central.org:root.archive /afs/kth.se afs ro,relatime 0 0
After the patch:
# ls /afs/grand.central.org/archive

# ls /afs/kth.se/

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.
