David Howells e7f680f45b afs: Improve FS server rotation error handling
Improve the error handling in FS server rotation by:

 (1) Cache the latest useful error value for the fs operation as a whole in
     struct afs_fs_cursor separately from the error cached in the
     afs_addr_cursor struct.  The one in the address cursor gets clobbered
     occasionally.  Copy over the error to the fs operation only when it's
     something we'd be interested in passing to userspace.

 (2) Make it so that EDESTADDRREQ is the default that is seen only if no
     addresses are available to be accessed.

 (3) When calling utility functions, such as checking a volume status or
     probing a fileserver, don't let a successful result clobber the cached
     error in the cursor; instead, stash the result in a temporary variable
     until it has been assessed.

 (4) Don't return ETIMEDOUT or ETIME if a better error, such as
     ENETUNREACH, is already cached.

 (5) On leaving the rotation loop, turn any remote abort code into a more
     useful error than ECONNABORTED.

README

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
