Hi Christian,
Can you pick up these miscellaneous AFS fixes, please? Note that some of
these are derived from Sashiko review of some rxrpc patches[1][2].
(1) Fix afs_fs_fetch_data() to set call->async.
(2) Fix afs_fs_fetch_data() to subtract transferred from len instead of
adding it.
(3) Fix a UAF when sending a message if the call is completed so quickly
that the sending code hasn't finished with it when it gets freed.
(4) Fix missing kunmap in afs_dir_search_bucket().
(5) Fix afs_edit_dir_remove() to get, not find, block 0.
(6) Fix double-unmap of directory block.
There are also two fixes to fix the issue behind a work-around in bash that is
now being removed[3][4].
(7) Allow filesystems with foreign owner IDs to override UID checks.
(8) Use (7) to fix open(O_CREAT) on an extant AFS file in a sticky dir.
The patches can be found here:

Thanks,
David
