721a9602e6 block: kill off REQ_UNPLUG
With the plugging now being explicitly controlled by the
submitter, callers need not pass down unplugging hints
to the block layer. If they want to unplug, it's because they
manually plugged on their own - in which case, they should just
unplug at will.

c13f7e1a94 drbd: don't recvmsg with zero length
This should fix a performance degradation we observed recently.

If we don't expect any subheader, we should not call into the tcp stack,
as that may add considerable latency if there is no data available at
this point.

For a synthetic synchronous write load with single outstanding writes,
this additional latency when processing the "unplug remote" packet
added up to a performance degradation factor >= 10.

6719fb036c drbd: fix potential data divergence after multiple failures
If we get an IO-error during an activity log transaction,
if we failed to write the bitmap of the evicted extent,
we must not write the transaction itself.
If we failed to write the transaction,
we must not even submit the corresponding bio,
as its extent is not yet marked in the activity log.

Otherwise, if this was a disconneted Primary (degraded cluster), which
now lost its disk as well, and we later re-attach the same backend
storage, we possibly "forget" to resync some parts of the disk that
potentially have been changed.

On the receiving side, when receiving from a peer with unhealthy disk,
checking for pdsk == D_DISKLESS is not enough, we need to set out of
sync and do AL transactions for everything pdsk < D_INCONSISTENT on the
receiving side.

82f59cc635 drbd: fix potential deadlock on detach
If we have contention in drbd_al_begin_iod (heavy randon IO),
an administrative request to detach the disk may deadlock
for similar reasons as the recently fixed deadlock if detaching
because of IO-error.

The approach taken here is to either go through the intermediate
cleanup state D_FAILED, or first lock out application io,
don't just go directly to D_DISKLESS.

We need an additional state bit (WAS_IO_ERROR) to distinguish
the -> D_FAILED because of IO-error from other failures.

Sanitize D_ATTACHING -> D_FAILED to D_ATTACHING -> D_DISKLESS.
If only attaching, ldev may be missing still, but would be referenced
from within the after_state_ch for -> D_FAILED, potentially
dereferencing a NULL pointer.

b18b37befb drbd: Do not log an ASSERT for P_OV_REQUEST packets while C_CONNECTED
This might happen if on the VERIFY_S node the disk gets dropped.
Although this is an cluster wide state transition, the VERIFY_T node,
updates it connection state first. Then the ack packet for the
cluster wide state transition travels back, and the VERIFY_S node
stops to produce the P_OV_REQUEST packets.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Further, do not log "Can not satisfy peer's..." on the VERIFY_S
node in this case, but pretend that they had equal checksum.

fb22c402ff drbd: Track the reasons to suspend IO in dedicated state bits
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.

63106d3c6c drbd: Removed a race that could cause unexpected execution of w_make_resync_request()
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.

dd3932eddf block: remove BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT
All the blkdev_issue_* helpers can only sanely be used for synchronous
caller.  To issue cache flushes or barriers asynchronously the caller needs
to set up a bio by itself with a completion callback to move the asynchronous
state machine ahead.  So drop the BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT flag that is always
specified when calling blkdev_issue_* and also remove the now unused flags
argument to blkdev_issue_flush and blkdev_issue_zeroout.  For
blkdev_issue_discard we need to keep it for the secure discard flag, which
gains a more descriptive name and loses the bitops vs flag confusion.
