[PATCH 6/7] afs: Remove erroneous seq |= 1 in volume lookup loop

From: David Howells

Date: Tue Jun 09 2026 - 04:37:10 EST


From: Li RongQing <lirongqing@xxxxxxxxx>

The `seq |= 1` operation in the volume lookup loop is incorrect because:
seq is already incremented at start, making it odd in next iteration
which triggers lock, but The `|= 1` operation causes seq to be even
and unintended lockless operation

Remove this erroneous operation to maintain proper lock sequencing.
