Actually, I might be able to do better. When making a StoreData call to the AFS server, I send all the parameters first, and at that point, the server will abort it, I think, if permission is not available, and won't wait for the payload to be delivered. So if I tell AF_RXRPC to send the parameter data with an explicit ACK request and then wait till it's either hard-ACK'd or aborted, I should then be able to deal with the permissions failure at a state where I have locked *all* the pages to be sent. At that point, I should be able to tell truncate to simple discard all these locked pages. How's that sound?
