Scenario:

Something (say, flush-147:0) is in drbd_al_begin_io,
holding a local_cnt, waiting for the resync to make progress.

Disk fails, worker in after_state_ch does drbd_rs_cancel_all,
then waits for local_cnt to drop to zero.

flush-147:0 is woken by drbd_rs_cancel_all, needs to write an AL
transaction, and queues that on the worker.

Deadlock.

Fix: do not wait in the worker, have put_ldev() trigger the
state change D_FAILED -> D_DISKLESS when necessary.
put_ldev() cannot do the state change directly, as it may or may not
already hold various spinlocks. We queue a short work instead.

drbd commit 17c854fea474a5eb3cfa12e4fb019e46debbc4ec
drbd: receiving of big packets, for payloads between 64kByte and 4GByte
introduced a new on-the-wire packet header format.  We must no longer
assume either format, but use the result of whatever drbd_recv_header
has decoded.

There are three ways to get IO suspended:

 * Loss of any access to data
 * Fence-peer-handler running
 * User requested to suspend IO

Track those in different bits, so that one condition clearing its
state bit does not interfere with the other two conditions.

Only when the user resumes IO he overrules all three bits.

The fact is hidden from the user, he sees only a single suspend
bit.

addendum to baa33ae4eaa4477b60af7c434c0ddd1d182c1ae7

The race:
    drbd_md_sync()
	if (!test_and_clear_bit(MD_DIRTY, &mdev->flags))
		return;
    ==> RACE with drbd_md_mark_dirty() rearming the timer.
	del_timer(&mdev->md_sync_timer);

    Fixed by moving the del_timer before the test_and_clear_bit.

Additionally only rearm the timer in drbd_md_mark_dirty, if MD_DIRTY was
not already set, reduce the grace period from five to one second, and
add an ifdef'ed debuging aid to find code paths missing an explicit
drbd_md_sync, if any, as those are the only relevant ones for this race.

The actual race happened int the drbd_start_resync() function. Where
drbd_resync_finished() -> __drbd_set_state() set STOP_SYNC_TIMER and
armed the timer.

If the timer fired before execution reaches the mod_timer statement
at the end of drbd_start_resync() the latter would cause an
unexpected call to w_make_resync_request().

Removed the STOP_SYNC_TIMER bit, and base it on the connection state.

The STOP_SYNC_TIMER bit probably originates probably the time before
the state engine.

When the complete device is marked as out of sync, we can disable
updates of the on disk AL. Currently AL updates are only disabled
if one uses the "invalidate-remote" command on an unconnected,
primary device, or when at attach time all bits in the bitmap are
set.

As of now, AL updated do not get disabled when a all bits becomes
set due to application writes to an unconnected DRBD device.
While this is a missing feature, it is not considered important,
and might get added later.

BTW, after initializing a "one legged" DRBD device
drbdadm create-md resX
drbdadm -- --force primary resX
AL updates also get disabled, until the first connect.

We now track the data rate of locally submitted resync related requests,
and can thus detect non-resync activity on the lower level device.

If the current sync rate is above c-min-rate, and the lower level device

The current resync speed as displayed in /proc/drbd fluctuates a lot.
Using an array of rolling marks makes this calculation much more stable.
We used to have this (a long time ago with 0.7), but it got lost somehow.

If "stalled", do not discard the rest of the information, just add a
" (stalled)" tag to the progress line.

This patch also shortens a spinlock critical section somewhat, and
reduces the number of atomic operations in put_ldev.

After disconnect (most likely mdev->net_cnt == 0) and we are
still in an unstable state (!drbd_state_is_stable()). When we
get an IO request in drbd_get_max_buffers() (called from
__inc_ap_bio_cond(), called from inc_ap_bio()) we wake up
misc_wait. Misc_wait is also used in inc_ap_bio() to sleep
until the outcome of __inc_ap_bio_cond() changes. => Busy loop!

Solution: Have a dedicated wait queue for get_net_conf() and
put_net_conf().

It was a now abandoned attempt to throttle resync bandwidth
based on the delay it causes on the bulk data socket.
It has no userbase yet, and has been disabled by
9173465ccb51c09cc3102a10af93e9f469a0af6f already.
This removes the now unused code.

The choice was to either delay creation of the new UUID until

Both are correct, the later is more friendly to users of
