It was unnoticed for some time that assigning to current->policy is
no longer sufficient to set a real time priority for a kernel thread.

The issue was that if the connection broke while we did the
gracefull state change to C_DISCONNECTING (C_TEARDOWN), then
we returned a success code from the state engine. (SS_CW_NO_NEED)
The result of that is that we missed to call the fence-peer
script in such a case.
Fixed that by introducing a new error code (SS_OUTDATE_WO_CONN).
This one should never reach back into user space.

If for some reason (typically "split-brained" cluster manager)
drbd replica data has diverged, we can chose a victim,
and reconnect using "--discard-my-data", causing the victim
to become sync-target, fetching all changed blocks from the peer.
If we are Primary, we are potentially in use, and we refuse to
"roll back" changes to the data below the page cache and other users.
Rename the error symbol for this to ERR_DISCARD_IMPOSSIBLE.

We now can schedule only a specific range of sectors for online verify,
or interrupt a running verify without interrupting the connection.
Had to bump the protocol version differently, we are now 101.
Added verify_can_do_stop_sector() { protocol >= 97 && protocol != 100; }
Also, the return value convention for worker callbacks has changed,
we returned "true/false" for "keep the connection up" in 8.3,
we return 0 for success and <= for failure in 8.4.

Detection of unclean shutdown has moved into user space.
The kernel code will, whenever it updates the meta data, mark it as
"unclean", and will refuse to attach to such unclean meta data.
"drbdadm up" now schedules "drbdmeta apply-al", which will apply
the activity log to the bitmap, and/or reinitialize it, if necessary,
as well as set a "clean" indicator flag.
This moves a bit code out of kernel space.
As a side effect, it also prevents some 8.3 module from accidentally
ignoring the 8.4 style activity log, if someone should downgrade,
whether on purpose, or accidentally because he changed kernel versions
without providing an 8.4 for the new kernel, and the new kernel comes
with in-tree 8.3.

The 8 byte header finally becomes too small. With the protocol 100 header we
have 16 bit for the volume number, proper 32 bit for the data length, and
32 bit for further extensions in the future.
Previous versions of drbd are using version 80 headers for all packets
short enough for protocol 80. They support both header versions in
worker context, but only version 80 headers in asynchronous context.
For backwards compatibility, continue to use version 80 headers for
short packets before protocol version 100.
From protocol version 100 on, use the same header version for all
packets.

An administrative detach used to request a state change directly to D_DISKLESS,
first suspending IO to avoid the last put_ldev() occuring from an endio handler,
potentially in irq context.
This is not enough on the receiving side (typically secondary), we may miss
some peer_req on the way to local disk, which then may do the last put_ldev()
from their drbd_peer_request_endio().
This patch makes the detach always go through the intermediate D_FAILED state.
We may consider to rename it D_DETACHING.
Alternative approach would be to create yet an other work item to be scheduled
on the worker, do the destructor work from there, and get the timing right.

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).

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.

It has no userbase yet, and has been disabled by

to application IO, is being reimplemented differently.

This was a very hard to trigger race condition.
If we got a state packet from the peer, after drbd_nl_disk() has
already changed the disk state to D_NEGOTIATING but
after_state_ch() was not yet run by the worker, then receive_state()
might called drbd_sync_handshake(), which in turn crashed
when accessing p_uuid.
