Fix server list handling in the following ways:
(1) In afs_alloc_volume(), remove duplicate server list build code. This
was already done by afs_alloc_server_list() which afs_alloc_volume()
previously called. This just results in twice as many VL RPCs.
(2) In afs_deliver_vl_get_entry_by_name_u(), use the number of server
records indicated by ->nServers in the UVLDB record returned by the
VL.GetEntryByNameU RPC call rather than scanning all NMAXNSERVERS
slots. Unused slots may contain garbage.
(3) In afs_alloc_server_list(), don't stop converting a UVLDB record into
a server list just because we can't look up one of the servers. Just
skip that server and go on to the next. If we can't look up any of
the servers then we'll fail at the end.
Without this patch, an attempt to view the umich.edu root cell using
something like "ls /afs/umich.edu" on a dynamic root (future patch) mount
or an autocell mount will result in ENOMEDIUM. The failure is due to kafs
not stopping after nServers'worth of records have been read, but then
trying to access a server with a garbage UUID and getting an error, which
aborts the server list build.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
