The old (optimistic) implementation could shrink the bio size
on an primary device.
Shrinking the bio size on a primary device is bad. Since there
we might get BIOs with the old (bigger) size shortly after
we published the new size.
The new implementation is more conservative, and eventually
increases the max_bio_size on a primary device (which is valid).
It does so, when it knows the local limit AND the remote limit.
We cache the last seen max_bio_size of the peer in the meta
data, and rely on that, to make the operation of single
nodes more efficient.

If there is no replication traffic within the idle timeout
(ping-int seconds), DRBD will send a P_PING,
and adjust the timeout to ping-timeout.
If there is no P_PING_ACK received within this ping-timeout,
DRBD finally drops the connection, and tries to re-establish it.
To decide which timeout was active, we compared the current timeout
with the ping-timeout, and dropped the connection, if that was the case.
By default, ping-int is 10 seconds, ping-timeout is 500 ms.
Unfortunately, if you configure ping-timeout to be the same as ping-int,
expiry of the idle-timeout had been mistaken for a missing ping ack,
and caused an immediate reconnection attempt.
Fix:
Allow both timeouts to be equal, use a local variable
to store which timeout is active.

We limit ourselves to a configurable maximum number of pages used as
temporary bio pages.
If the configured "max_buffers" is not big enough to match the bandwidth
of the respective deployment, a distributed deadlock could be triggered
by e.g. fast online verify and heavy application IO.
TCP connections would block on congestion, because both receivers
would wait on pages to become available.
Fortunately the respective senders in this case would be able to give
back some pages already. So do that.

In case a write failes on the local disk, go into D_INCONSISTENT
disk state. That causes future reads of that block to be shipped
to the peer.
Read retry remote was already in place.
Actually the documentation needs to get fixed now. Since the
application is still shielded from the error. (as long as we have
only a single disk failing) The difference to detach is that
we keep the disk. And therefore might keep all the other, still
working sectors up to date.

We only supported the M2P (and P2M) override only for the
GNTMAP_contains_pte type mappings. Meaning that we grants
operations would "contain the machine address of the PTE to update"
If the flag is unset, then the grant operation is
"contains a host virtual address". The latter case means that
the Hypervisor takes care of updating our page table
(specifically the PTE entry) with the guest's MFN. As such we should
not try to do anything with the PTE. Previous to this patch
we would try to clear the PTE which resulted in Xen hypervisor
being upset with us:
(XEN) mm.c:1066:d0 Attempt to implicitly unmap a granted PTE c0100000ccc59067
(XEN) domain_crash called from mm.c:1067
(XEN) Domain 0 (vcpu#0) crashed on cpu#3:
(XEN) ----[ Xen-4.0-110228 x86_64 debug=y Not tainted ]----
and crashing us.
This patch allows us to inhibit the PTE clearing in the PV guest
if the GNTMAP_contains_pte is not set.
On the m2p_remove_override path we provide the same parameter.
Sadly in the grant-table driver we do not have a mechanism to
tell m2p_remove_override whether to clear the PTE or not. Since
the grant-table driver is used by user-space, we can safely assume
that it operates only on PTE's. Hence the implementation for
it to work on !GNTMAP_contains_pte returns -EOPNOTSUPP. In the future
we can implement the support for this. It will require some extra
accounting structure to keep track of the page[i], and the flag.
[v1: Added documentation details, made it return -EOPNOTSUPP instead
of trying to do a half-way implementation]

The sector number on empty barrier requests may (will?) be -1, which,
given that it's being treated as unsigned 64-bit quantity, will almost
always exceed the actual (virtual) disk's size.

zero...".

If the backend supports the 'feature-flush-cache' mode, use that
instead of the 'feature-barrier' support.
Currently there are three backends that support the 'feature-flush-cache'
mode: NetBSD, Solaris and Linux kernel. The 'flush' option is much
light-weight version than the 'barrier' support so lets try to use as
there are no filesystems in the kernel that use full barriers anymore.

This is to allow number of commands reserved for use by SCSI tape drives
and medium changers to be adjusted at driver load time via the kernel
parameter cciss_tape_cmds, with a default value of 6, and a range
of 2 - 16 inclusive. Previously, the driver limited the number of
commands which could be queued to the SCSI half of the the driver
to only 2. This is to fix the problem that if you had more than
two tape drives, you couldn't, for example, erase or rewind them all
at the same time.

on driver load, if reset_devices is set, and the hard reset
attempts fail, try to bring up the controller to the point that
a command can be sent, and send it a soft reset command, then
after the reset undo whatever driver initialization was done to get
it to the point to take a command, and re-do it after the reset.
This is to get kdump to work on all the "non-resettable" controllers
(except 64xx controllers which can't be reset due to the potentially
