[SPAM] Re: [OpenAFS] AFS-Cache hickups with Ubuntu and Kernel 6.17

[Cheyenne Wills]

The gerrit for the master branch is and is still in review
https://gerrit.openafs.org/#/c/16700/

As soon as it gets merged into master I'll be doing a pullup for 1.8.x
(along with some additional Linux support pullups from master).
