When requesting a detach, we first suspend IO, and also inhibit meta-data IO
by means of drbd_md_get_buffer(), because we don't want to "fail" the disk
while there is IO in-flight: the transition into D_FAILED for detach purposes
may get misinterpreted as actual IO error in a confused endio function.
We wrap it all into wait_event(), to retry in case the drbd_req_state()
returns SS_IN_TRANSIENT_STATE, as it does for example during an ongoing
connection handshake.
In that example, the receiver thread may need to grab drbd_md_get_buffer()
during the handshake to make progress. To avoid potential deadlock with
detach, detach needs to grab and release the meta data buffer inside of
that wait_event retry loop. To avoid lock inversion between
mutex_lock(&device->state_mutex) and drbd_md_get_buffer(device),
introduce a new enum chg_state_flag CS_INHIBIT_MD_IO, and move the
call to drbd_md_get_buffer() inside the state_mutex grabbed in
drbd_req_state().

The conn_higest_role() (a terribly misnamed function) returns
the role of the resource. It returned R_UNKNOWN as long as the
resource has not a single device.
Resources without devices are short living objects.
But it matters for the NOTIFY_CREATE netwlink message. It makes
a lot more sense to report R_SECONDARY for the newly created
resource than R_UNKNOWN.
I reviewd all call sites of conn_highest_role(), that change
does not matter for the other call sites.

Connected Primary/Secondary UpToDate/Diskless (resumed; needs to bump uuid!)
We used to just resume/resent suspended requests,

Which will lead to problems later, when we want to re-attach the disk on

We already serialize connection state changes,
and other, non-connection state changes (role changes)
while we are establishing a connection.
But if we have an established connection,
then trigger a resync handshake (by primary --force or similar),
until now we just had to be "lucky".
Consider this sequence (e.g. deployment scenario):
create-md; up;
-> Connected Secondary/Secondary Inconsistent/Inconsistent
then do a racy primary --force on both peers.

The problem here is that the local promotion happens before the sync handshake
triggered by the remote promotion was completed. Some assumptions elsewhere
become wrong, and when the expected resync handshake is then received and
processed, we get stuck in a deadlock, which can only be recovered by reboot :-(
Fix: if we know the peer has good data,
and our own disk is present, but NOT good,
and there is no resync going on yet,
we expect a sync handshake to happen "soon".
So reject a racy promotion with SS_IN_TRANSIENT_STATE.

The recent (not yet released) backport of the extended state broadcasts
to support the "events2" subcommand of drbdsetup had some glitches.
remember_old_state() would first count all connections with a
net_conf != NULL, then allocate a suitable array, then populate that
array with all connections found to have net_conf != NULL.
This races with the state change to C_STANDALONE,
and the NULL assignment there.
remember_new_state() then iterates over said connection array,
assuming that it would be fully populated.
But rcu_lock() just makes sure the thing some pointer points to,
if any, won't go away. It does not make the pointer itself immutable.
In fact there is no need to "filter" connections based on whether or not
they have a currently valid configuration. Just record them always, if
they don't have a config, that's fine, there will be no change then.

Even though we really want to get the state information about our bad
disk to the peer as soon as possible, it is useful to first call the
local-io-error handler.
People may chose to hard-reset the box from there.
If that looks and behaves exactly like a "regular node crash", without
bumping the data generation UUIDs on the peer in between, it makes it
easier to deal with.
If you intend to return from the local-io-error handler, then better
return as quickly as possible to avoid triggering other timeouts.

before it is able to communicate the disk loss, probably blocked IO,
then later is able to re-establish the connection, the peer needs to
bump its UUIDs just like it does when peer only loses the disk
and is able to communicate this in time.
Otherwise, a later re-attach of the disk on the primary may start a

Symptoms:
If DRBD was "cleanly shut down" (all in sync, both Secondary before
disconnect, identical data generation uuids), and then one side was
promoted *during* the next connection handshake, the role change
could confuse the handshake.
The Primary would get stuck in WFBitmapS, the Secondary would log
unexpected cstate (Connected) in receive_bitmap
and get stuck in WFBitmapT.
Fix:
The test in is_valid_soft_transition wrong. It works because
the not allowed actions (promote/attach) do not touch the
cstate. The previous condition failed to demand a cstate change
in one clause.
In order to avoid deadlocks give up the state_mutex while waiting
for the transient state to go away.

This patch replaces rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) with RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL)
The rcu_assign_pointer() ensures that the initialization of a structure
is carried out before storing a pointer to that structure.
And in the case of the NULL pointer, there is no structure to initialize.
So, rcu_assign_pointer(p, NULL) can be safely converted to RCU_INIT_POINTER(p, NULL)

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.

When a 'cluster wide' disconnect executes, the result comes back
from the peer, and immediately after that the connection breaks
then _conn_rq_cond() reported back SS_CW_SUCCESS.
Therefore _conn_request_state() calls conn_set_state(), which
has a BUG() in it.
The BUG() is hit because conn_is_valid_transition() does not like
the transaction. Which goes back to is_valid_soft_transition()
returning SS_OUTDATE_WO_CONN.
This fix is to consider an error reported by is_valid_soft_transition()
