blkdev_issue_discard() will zero a given block range. This is done by
way of explicit writing, thus provisioning or allocating the blocks on
disk.
There are use cases where the desired behavior is to zero the blocks but
unprovision them if possible. The blocks must deterministically contain
zeroes when they are subsequently read back.
This patch adds a flag to blkdev_issue_zeroout() that provides this
variant. If the discard flag is set and a block device guarantees
discard_zeroes_data we will use REQ_DISCARD to clear the block range. If
the device does not support discard_zeroes_data or if the discard
request fails we will fall back to first REQ_WRITE_SAME and then a
regular REQ_WRITE.
Also update the callers of blkdev_issue_zero() to reflect the new flag
and make sb_issue_zeroout() prefer the discard approach.

If for some reason DRBD resync was the only activity on a backend
device, drbd_rs_c_min_rate_throttle() would mistakenly decide that it is
still initialization time, and keep throttling the resync.
This patch explicitly initializes ->rs_last_events to the current
backend event counters, and drops the rs_last_events == 0 from the
throttle condition.

* Add details about pending meta data operations to in_flight_summary.

* timing details of peer_requests to in_flight_summary.
* 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.

In setups involving a DRBD-proxy and connections that experience a lot of
buffer-bloat it might be necessary to set ping-timeout to an
unusual high value. By default DRBD uses the same value to wait if a newly
established TCP-connection is stable. Since the DRBD-proxy is usually located
in the same data center such a long wait time may hinder DRBD's connect process.
In such setups socket-check-timeout should be set to
at least to the round trip time between DRBD and DRBD-proxy. I.e. in most
cases to 1.

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.

During handshake, we compare backend sizes, and user set limits,
and agree on what device size we are going to expose.
We remember that last-agreed-size in our meta data.
But if we come up diskless, we have to accept what the peer
presents us with. We used to accept the peers maximum potential
capacity (backend size), which is wrong, and could lead to IO errors
due to access beyond end of device.
Instead, we need to accept the peer's current size.
Unless that is communicated as 0, in which case we

Now, we only let application IO pre-empt resync traffic

If max-buffers and socket buffer sizes are "too small" for the chosen
resync rate, this could lead potentially lead to a distributed deadlock,
which may or may not resolve itself via the "ko-count" and request
timeout mechanism, or could be resolved by forced disconnect.
One option to deal with this is proper configuration:
use larger max-buffer and socket buffers settings,
or reduce the resync rate.
But even with bad configuration we should not deadlock,
but "gracefully" recover.
The issue is avoided by using only up to max-buffers/2 for resync
requests, and by using max-buffers not as a hard limit for data buffer
allocations, but as a throttle threshold only.
