afs: Use the vnode ID uniquifier in the cache key not the aux data
AFS vnodes (files) are referenced by a triplet of { volume ID, vnode ID, uniquifier }. Currently, kafs is only using the vnode ID as the file key in the volume fscache index and checking the uniquifier on cookie acquisition against the contents of the auxiliary data stored in the cache. Unfortunately, this is subject to a race in which an FS.RemoveFile or FS.RemoveDir op is issued against the server but the local afs inode isn't torn down and disposed off before another thread issues something like FS.CreateFile. The latter then gets given the vnode ID that just got removed, but with a new uniquifier and a cookie collision occurs in the cache because the cookie is only keyed on the vnode ID whereas the inode is keyed on the vnode ID plus the uniquifier. Fix this by keying the cookie on the uniquifier in addition to the vnode ID and dropping the uniquifier from the auxiliary data supplied. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
