These patches build on the patchset labelled "AF_RXRPC socket family and AFS
rewrite".  The patches are also available for http download.

Firstly, the patches fix a number of bugs in AF_RXRPC:

        http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/rxrpc/09-af_rxrpc-own-workqueues.diff
        http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/rxrpc/10-af_rxrpc-fixes.diff

Secondly, they fix some bugs in the AFS filesystem:

        http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/rxrpc/11-afs-callback-wq.diff
        http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/rxrpc/12-afs-vlocation.diff
        http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/rxrpc/13-afs-multimount.diff

And finally, they add security support to AFS:

        http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/rxrpc/14-afs-rxrpc-key.diff
        http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/rxrpc/15-afs-nameidata-key.diff
        http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/rxrpc/16-afs-security.diff


A security key is acquired by running the klog program:

        http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/rxrpc/klog.c

This is compiled by:

        make klog CFLAGS="-Wall -g" LDLIBS="-lcrypto -lcrypt -lkrb4 -lkeyutils"

And then run by:

        ./klog

Note that at the moment this is a rough and ready test program that has the
username, realm, password and proposed key timeout compiled in.  Note also that
it will only talk to the AFS kaserver.


If a security key is acquired, then all subsequent operations - including VL
lookups and mounts - performed with that session keyring will be authenticated
using that key.  The key can be viewed like so:

        [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# keyctl show
        Session Keyring
               -3 --alswrv      0     0  keyring: _ses.3268
                2 --alswrv      0     0   \_ keyring: _uid.0
        111416553 --als--v      0     0   \_ rxrpc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
