User-Visible OpenAFS Changes

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.
