Because I made the afs_call struct share pointers to an afs_server object and an afs_vlserver object to save space, afs_put_call() calls afs_put_server() on afs_vlserver object (which is only meant for the afs_server object) because it sees that call->server isn't NULL. This means that the afs_vlserver object gets unpredictably and randomly modified, depending on what config options are set (such as lockdep). Fix this by getting rid of the union and having two non-overlapping pointers in the afs_call struct.

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.
