David Howells says:
(3) afs_check_validity().
(4) afs_getattr().
These are both pretty short, so your solution is probably good for them.
That said, afs_vnode_commit_status() can spend a long time under the
write lock - and pretty much every file RPC op returns a status update.
Change these functions to use read_seqbegin(). This simplifies the code
and doesn't change the current behaviour, the "seq" counter is always even
so read_seqbegin_or_lock() can never take the lock.

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.
