    afs: Avoid endless loop if file is larger than expected · 9ea4eff4
    Marc Dionne authored
    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.
