afs: Make some RPC operations non-interruptible
Make certain RPC operations non-interruptible, including: (*) Set attributes (*) Store data We don't want to get interrupted during a flush on close, flush on unlock, writeback or an inode update, leaving us in a state where we still need to do the writeback or update. (*) Extend lock (*) Release lock We don't want to get lock extension interrupted as the file locks on the server are time-limited. Interruption during lock release is less of an issue since the lock is time-limited, but it's better to complete the release to avoid a several-minute wait to recover it. *Setting* the lock isn't a problem if it's interrupted since we can just return to the user and tell them they were interrupted - at which point they can elect to retry. (*) Silly unlink We want to remove silly unlink files if we can, rather than leaving them for the salvager to clear up. Note that whilst these calls are no longer interruptible, they do have timeouts on them, so if the server stops responding the call will fail with something like ETIME or ECONNRESET. Without this, the following: kAFS: Unexpected error from FS.StoreData -512 appears in dmesg when a pending store data gets interrupted and some processes may just hang. Additionally, make the code that checks/updates the server record ignore failure due to interruption if the main call is uninterruptible and if the server has an address list. The next op will check it again since the expiration time on the old list has past.
