* FLUSH details
DRBD devides the incoming request stream into "epochs",
in which peers are allowed to re-order writes independendly.
These epochs are separated by P_BARRIER on the replication link.
Such barrier packets, depending on configuration, may cause
the receiving side to drain the lower level device request queues
and call blkdev_issue_flush().
This is known to be an other major source of latency in DRBD.
Track timing details of calls to blkdev_issue_flush(),
and add them to in_flight_summary.

To be able to diagnose bottlenecks and root causes of "slow" IO on DRBD,
it is useful to see network buffer stats along with the timing details of
requests, peer requests, and meta data IO.

Background resynchronisation does some "side-stepping", or throttles
itself, if it detects application IO activity, and the current resync
rate estimate is above the configured "cmin-rate".
What was not detected: if there is no application IO,
because it blocks on activity log transactions.
Introduce a new atomic_t ap_actlog_cnt, tracking such blocked requests,
and count non-zero as application IO activity.
This counter is exposed at proc_details level 2 and above.
Also make sure to release the currently locked resync extent
if we side-step due to such voluntary throttling.

A request that is to be shipped to the peer goes through a few stages:
- queued
- sent, waiting for ack
- ack received, waiting for "barrier ack", which is re-order epoch being
closed on the peer by acknowledging a "cache flush" equivalent
on the lower level device.
In the later two stages, depending on protocol, we may have already
completed this request to the upper layers, so it won't be found anymore
on device->pending_master_completion[] lists.
Track the oldest request yet to be sent (req_next), the oldest not yet
acknowledged (req_ack_pending) and the oldest "still waiting for
something from the peer" (req_not_net_done), doing short list walks on
the transfer log to find the next pending one whenever such a request
makes progress.
Now we have a fast way to look up the oldest requests,
don't do a transfer log walk every time.

For not dynamically allocated, but embeded, work structs,
we must avoid to re-add until it really was removed.

Checksum based resync trades CPU cycles for network bandwidth,
in situations where we expect much of the to-be-resynced blocks
to be actually identical on both sides already.
In a "network hickup" scenario, it won't help:
all to-be-resynced blocks will typically be different.
The use case is for the resync of *potentially* different blocks
after crash recovery -- the crash recovery had marked larger areas
(those covered by the activity log) as need-to-be-resynced,
just in case. Most of those blocks will be identical.
This option makes it possible to configure checksum based resync,
but only actually use it for the first resync after primary crash.

We intentionally do not serialize /proc/drbd access with
internal state changes or statistic updates.
Because of that, cat /proc/drbd may race with resync just being
finished, still see the sync state, and find information about
number of blocks still to go, but then find the total number
of blocks within this resync has just been reset to 0
when accessing it.
This now produces bogus numbers in the resync speed estimates.
Fix by accessing all relevant data only once,
and fixing it up if "still to go" happens to be more than "total".

The recent fix to put_ldev() (correct ordering of access to local_cnt
and state.disk; memory barrier in __drbd_set_state) guarantees
that the cleanup happens exactly once.
However it does not yet guarantee that the cleanup happens from worker
context, the last put_ldev() may still happen from atomic context,
which must not happen: blkdev_put() may sleep.
Fix this by scheduling the cleanup to the worker instead,
using a couple more bits in device->flags and a new helper,
drbd_device_post_work().

This fixes one recent regresion,
and one long existing bug.
The bug:
drbd_try_clear_on_disk_bm() assumed that all "count" bits have to be
accounted in the resync extent corresponding to the start sector.
Since we allow application requests to cross our "extent" boundaries,
this assumption is no longer true, resulting in possible misaccounting,
scary messages
("BAD! sector=12345s enr=6 rs_left=-7 rs_failed=0 count=58 cstate=..."),
and potentially, if the last bit to be cleared during resync would
reside in previously misaccounted resync extent, the resync would never
be recognized as finished, but would be "stalled" forever, even though
all blocks are in sync again and all bits have been cleared...
The regression was introduced by
drbd: get rid of atomic update on disk bitmap works
For an "empty" resync (rs_total == 0), we must not "finish" the
resync on the SyncSource before the SyncTarget knows all relevant
information (sync uuid). We need to wait for the full round-trip,
the SyncTarget will then explicitly notify us.
Also for normal, non-empty resyncs (rs_total > 0), the resync-finished
condition needs to be tested before the schedule() in wait_for_work, or
it is likely to be missed.

Just trigger the occasional lazy bitmap write-out during resync
from the central wait_for_work() helper.
Previously, during resync, bitmap pages would be written out separately,
synchronously, one at a time, at least 8 times each (every 512 bytes
worth of bitmap cleared).
Now we trigger "merge friendly" bulk write out of all cleared pages
every two seconds during resync, and once the resync is finished.
Most pages will be written out only once.

has a disk state of D_ATTACHING.

drbd_bm_write() is only called when a reference is held, and it is
documented that a caller has to hold a reference before calling
drbd_bm_write()
drbd_bm_write_page()
Use get_ldev() instead of get_ldev_if_state(device, D_ATTACHING)
drbd_bmio_set_n_write()
No longer use get_ldev_if_state(device, D_ATTACHING). All callers
hold a reference to ldev now.
drbd_bmio_clear_n_write()
All callers where holding a reference of ldev anyways. Remove the
misleading get_ldev_if_state(device, D_ATTACHING)
drbd_reconsider_max_bio_size()
Removed the get_ldev_if_state(device, D_ATTACHING). All callers
now pass a struct drbd_backing_dev* when they have a proper
reference, or a NULL pointer.
Before this fix, the receiver could trigger a NULL pointer
deref when in drbd_reconsider_max_bio_size()
drbd_bump_write_ordering()
Used get_ldev_if_state(device, D_ATTACHING) with the wrong assumption.

when the caller knows that accessing this bdev is safe.

When batching more updates to the activity log into single transactions,
we lost the ability for new requests to force themselves into the active
set: all preparation steps became non-blocking, and if all currently
hot extents keep busy, they could starve out new incoming requests
to cold extents for quite a while.
This can only happen if your IO backend accepts more IO operations per
average DRBD replication round trip time than you have al-extents
configured.
If we have incoming requests to cold extents,
at least do one blocking update per transaction.
In an artificial worst-case workload on SSD with an asynchronous 600 ms
replication link, with al-extents = 7 (the minimum we allow), and
concurrent full resynch, without this patch, some write requests have
been observed to be starved for 40 seconds.
With this patch, application observed a worst case latency of twice the
replication round trip time.
