OpenAFS 1.8.1
All Platforms
* Improve the usability and consistency of the public API: install missing
headers, and add additional symbols to the export list for shared libraries.
* Improved Rx abort generation: use the proper serial number for an existing
connection if possible, and 0 otherwise (to improve debugging).
* Assorted minor fixes in response to static analysis of the codebase.
* Fix memory-safety error in XDR decoding of enumerated types.
All Server Platforms
* Fix reference counting error that could cause an assertion failure
in some workloads.
* vldb_check -fix will no longer corrupt the vldb when multiple MH blocks are present.
* Assorted cleanups and efficiency improvements in the ubik implementation.
* Return a valid InlineBulkStatus response in error cases.
* The fileserver now rejects invalid partition names when attaching partitions.
All Client Platforms
* Fix volume callbacks (e.g., when running 'vos release').
* Treat failure to obtain a DSlot as a hard error for that cache partition,
avoiding a flood of "disk cache read error in CacheItems" log messages,
and reducing the chance of subsequent panic.
* Improve error messages for invalid values with -volume-ttl.
* Remove useless error message:
"find_preferred_connection: no connection and !create".
* Avoid passing NULL to a kernel memory deallocator, which is not guaranteed
to be safe on all systems.
Linux
* Add support for 64-bit ARM clients ("arm64").
* Fix panic when cache bypass is enabled.
* Improve cache manager behavior when unable to open cache files.
* Improvements to the RPM packaging.
* Detect out-of-memory when using kernel pages for writing.
Solaris
* Fix various issues in the build process for recent Solaris versions.
MacOS
* Fix clients on OS X 10.13.
FreeBSD / NetBSD / OpenBSD
* Fix panic triggered during periodic cleanup operations and shutdown.
