afs: Add an address list concept
Add an RCU replaceable address list structure to hold a list of server addresses. The list also holds the To this end: (1) A cell's VL server address list can be loaded directly via insmod or echo to /proc/fs/afs/cells or dynamically from a DNS query for AFSDB or SRV records. (2) Anyone wanting to use a cell's VL server address must wait until the cell record comes online and has tried to obtain some addresses. (3) An FS server's address list, for the moment, has a single entry that is the key to the server list. This will change in the future when a server is instead keyed on its UUID and the VL.GetAddrsU operation is used. (4) An 'address cursor' concept is introduced to handle iteration through the address list. This is passed to the afs_make_call() as, in the future, stuff (such as abort code) that doesn't outlast the call will be returned in it. In the future, we might want to annotate the list with information about how each address fares. We might then want to propagate such annotations over address list replacement. Whilst we're at it, we allow IPv6 addresses to be specified in colon-delimited lists by enclosing them in square brackets. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
