When using the afs.yfs.acl xattr to change an AuriStor ACL, a warning can be generated when the request is marshalled because the buffer pointer isn't increased after adding the last element, thereby triggering the check at the end if the ACL wasn't empty. This just causes something like the following warning, but doesn't stop the call from happening successfully: kAFS: YFS.StoreOpaqueACL2: Request buffer underflow (36<108) Fix this simply by increasing the count prior to the check.

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.
