The fileserver probing code attempts to work out the best fileserver to
use for a volume by retrieving the RTT calculated by AF_RXRPC for the
probe call sent to each server and comparing them. Sometimes, however,
no RTT estimate is available and rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt() returns false,
leading good fileservers to be given an RTT of UINT_MAX and thus causing
the rotation algorithm to ignore them.
Fix afs_select_fileserver() to ignore rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt()'s return
value and just take the estimated RTT it provides - which will be capped
at 1 second.
Fixes: 1d4adfaf6574 ("rxrpc: Make rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt() indicate validity")

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.
