Marc Dionne 9ea4eff4b6 afs: Avoid endless loop if file is larger than expected
afs_read_dir fetches an amount of data that's based on what the inode
size is thought to be.  If the file on the server is larger than what
was fetched, the code rechecks i_size and retries.  If the local i_size
was not properly updated, this can lead to an endless loop of fetching
i_size from the server and noticing each time that the size is larger on
the server.

If it is known that the remote size is larger than i_size, bump up the
fetch size to that size.

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.

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.
