commit e2041475e6ddb081734d161f6421977323f5a9b9
drbd: Starting with protocol 96 we can allow app-IO while receiving the bitmap
Contained a bad chunk that tried to optimize away drbd barriers during
bitmap exchange, but accidentally dropped them for normal mode as well.
Impact: depending on activity log size and access pattern, activity log
extents may not be recycled in time, causeing IO to block indefinetely.
Fix: skip drbd barriers only if there is no connection to send them on,
or the request being completed has not been on the network at all.

There still exists a (theoretical) race on module unload, where
/proc/drbd may still exist, but the netlink callback has been
unregistered already, allowing drbdsetup to shout without listeners,
and get no reply.
Reorder remove_proc_entry and unregister of netlink callback.
drbdsetup first checks for existence of the proc entry,
and if that is missing, won't even try to contact the module.

If someone holds /proc/drbd open, previously rmmod would
"succeed" in starting the unload, but then block on remove_proc_entry,
leading to a situation where the lsmod does not show drbd anymore,
but /proc/drbd being still there (but no longer accessible).
I'd rather have rmmod fail up front in this case.

* C_STARTING_SYNC_S, C_STARTING_SYNC_T In these states the bitmap gets
written to disk. Locking out of app-IO is done by using the
drbd_queue_bitmap_io() and drbd_bitmap_io() functions these days.
It is no longer necessary to lock out app-IO based on the connection
state.
App-IO that may come in after the BITMAP_IO flag got cleared before the
state transition to C_SYNC_(SOURCE|TARGET) does not get mirrored, sets
a bit in the local bitmap, that is already set, therefore changes nothing.
* C_WF_BITMAP_S In this state we send updates (P_OUT_OF_SYNC packets).
With that we make sure they have the same number of bits when going
into the C_SYNC_(SOURCE|TARGET) connection state.
* C_UNCONNECTED: The receiver starts, no need to lock out IO.
* C_DISCONNECTING: in drbd_disconnect() we had a wait_event()
to wait until ap_bio_cnt reaches 0. Removed that.
* C_TIMEOUT, C_BROKEN_PIPE, C_NETWORK_FAILURE
C_PROTOCOL_ERROR, C_TEAR_DOWN: Same as C_DISCONNECTING
* C_WF_REPORT_PARAMS: IO still possible since that is still
like C_WF_CONNECTION.
And we do not need to send barriers in C_WF_BITMAP_S connection state.
Allow concurrent accesses to the bitmap when receiving the bitmap.
Everything gets ORed anyways.
A drbd_free_tl_hash() is in after_state_chg_work(). At that point
all the work items of the last connections must have been processed.
Introduced a call to drbd_free_tl_hash() into drbd_free_mdev()
for paranoia reasons.

The relevant change is that the state change to C_FW_BITMAP_S should
implicitly change pdsk to C_CONSISTENT. (Think of it as C_OUTDATED, only
without the guarantee that the peer has the outdated written to its

gets evaluated every time. (Has declarative character)

Before:
drbd_rs_begin_io() locked app-IO out of an RS extent, and
waited then until all previous app-IO in that area finished.
(But not only until the disk-IO was finished but until the
barrier/epoch ack came in for that == round trip time latency ++)
After:
As soon as a new app-IO waits wants to start new IO on that
RS extent, drbd_rs_begin_io() steps aside (clearing the
BME_NO_WRITES flag again). It retries after 100ms.

After recent blkdev_get() modifications, open_by_devnum() and
open_bdev_exclusive() are simple wrappers around blkdev_get().
Replace them with blkdev_get_by_dev() and blkdev_get_by_path().
blkdev_get_by_dev() is identical to open_by_devnum().
blkdev_get_by_path() is slightly different in that it doesn't
automatically add %FMODE_EXCL to @mode.
All users are converted. Most conversions are mechanical and don't
introduce any behavior difference. There are several exceptions.
* btrfs now sets FMODE_EXCL in btrfs_device->mode, so there's no
reason to OR it explicitly on blkdev_put().
* gfs2, nilfs2 and the generic mount_bdev() now set FMODE_EXCL in
sb->s_mode.
* With the above changes, sb->s_mode now always should contain
FMODE_EXCL. WARN_ON_ONCE() added to kill_block_super() to detect
errors.
The new blkdev_get_*() functions are with proper docbook comments.
While at it, add function description to blkdev_get() too.

Over time, block layer has accumulated a set of APIs dealing with bdev
open, close, claim and release.
* blkdev_get/put() are the primary open and close functions.
* bd_claim/release() deal with exclusive open.
* open/close_bdev_exclusive() are combination of open and claim and
the other way around, respectively.
* bd_link/unlink_disk_holder() to create and remove holder/slave
symlinks.
* open_by_devnum() wraps bdget() + blkdev_get().
The interface is a bit confusing and the decoupling of open and claim
makes it impossible to properly guarantee exclusive access as
in-kernel open + claim sequence can disturb the existing exclusive
open even before the block layer knows the current open if for another
exclusive access. Reorganize the interface such that,
* blkdev_get() is extended to include exclusive access management.
@holder argument is added and, if is @FMODE_EXCL specified, it will
gain exclusive access atomically w.r.t. other exclusive accesses.
* blkdev_put() is similarly extended. It now takes @mode argument and
if @FMODE_EXCL is set, it releases an exclusive access. Also, when
the last exclusive claim is released, the holder/slave symlinks are
removed automatically.
* bd_claim/release() and close_bdev_exclusive() are no longer
necessary and either made static or removed.
* bd_link_disk_holder() remains the same but bd_unlink_disk_holder()
is no longer necessary and removed.
* open_bdev_exclusive() becomes a simple wrapper around lookup_bdev()
and blkdev_get(). It also has an unexpected extra bdev_read_only()
test which probably should be moved into blkdev_get().
* open_by_devnum() is modified to take @holder argument and pass it to
blkdev_get().
Most of bdev open/close operations are unified into blkdev_get/put()
and most exclusive accesses are tested atomically at the open time (as
it should). This cleans up code and removes some, both valid and
invalid, but unnecessary all the same, corner cases.
open_bdev_exclusive() and open_by_devnum() can use further cleanup -
rename to blkdev_get_by_path() and blkdev_get_by_devt() and drop
special features. Well, let's leave them for another day.
Most conversions are straight-forward. drbd conversion is a bit more
involved as there was some reordering, but the logic should stay the
same.

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

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.

This adds a necessary race breaker to these commits:
drbd: fix for possible deadlock on IO error during resync
drbd: drop wrong debug asserts, fix recently introduced race
What we do is get a refcount, check the state, then depending on the
state and the requested minimum disk state, either hold it (success),
or give it back immediately (failed "try lock").
Some code paths (flushing of drbd metadata) may still grab and hold a
refcount even if we are D_FAILED (application IO won't).
So even if we hit local_cnt == 0 once after being D_FAILED,
we still need to wait for that again after we changed to D_DISKLESS.
Once local_cnt reaches 0 while we are D_DISKLESS, we can be sure that
no one will look at the protected members anymore, so only then is it
safe to free them.
We cannot easily convert to standard locking primitives here, as we want
to be able to use it in atomic context (we always do a "try lock"),
as well as hold references for a "long time" (from IO submission to
completion callback).

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.

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.

If it was an "empty" resync, the SyncSource may have already "finished"
the resync and rotated the UUIDs, before noticing the connection loss
(and generating a new uuid, if Primary, rotating again), while the
SyncTarget did not change its uuids at all, or only got to the previous
sync-uuid.
This would then again lead to a full sync on next handshake
(see also Bug #251).
Fix:
Use explicit resync finished notification even for empty resyncs,
do not finish an empty resync implicitly on the SyncSource.

The open and release block_device_operations are currently
called with the BKL held. In order to change that, we must
first make sure that all drivers that currently rely
on this have no regressions.
This blindly pushes the BKL into all .open and .release
operations for all block drivers to prepare for the
next step. The drivers can subsequently replace the BKL
with their own locks or remove it completely when it can
be shown that it is not needed.
The functions blkdev_get and blkdev_put are the only
remaining users of the big kernel lock in the block
layer, besides a few uses in the ioctl code, none
of which need to serialize with blkdev_{get,put}.
Most of these two functions is also under the protection
of bdev->bd_mutex, including the actual calls to
->open and ->release, and the common code does not
access any global data structures that need the BKL.
