Just because it is the oldest not yet completed request
does not make it the oldest request waiting for disk.
Or waiting for the peer.
And we completely missed already completed requests
that would still hold references to activity log extents,
waiting only for the barrier ack.
Find two oldest not yet completely processed requests,

and one that is still waiting for some response from the peer.
These may or may not be the same request object.

When batching more updates to the activity log into single transactions,
we lost the ability for new requests to force themselves into the active
set: all preparation steps became non-blocking, and if all currently
hot extents keep busy, they could starve out new incoming requests
to cold extents for quite a while.
This can only happen if your IO backend accepts more IO operations per
average DRBD replication round trip time than you have al-extents
configured.
If we have incoming requests to cold extents,
at least do one blocking update per transaction.
In an artificial worst-case workload on SSD with an asynchronous 600 ms
replication link, with al-extents = 7 (the minimum we allow), and
concurrent full resynch, without this patch, some write requests have
been observed to be starved for 40 seconds.
With this patch, application observed a worst case latency of twice the
replication round trip time.

For a long time, the receiving side has spread "too large" incoming
requests over multiple bios. No need to shrink our max_bio_size
(max_hw_sectors) if the peer is reconfigured to use a different storage.
The problem manifests itself if we are not the top of the device stack
(DRBD is used a LVM PV).
A hardware reconfiguration on the peer may cause the supported
max_bio_size to shrink, and the connection handshake would now
unnecessarily shrink the max_bio_size on the active node.
There is no way to notify upper layers that they have to "re-stack"
their limits. So they won't notice at all, and may keep submitting bios
that are suddenly considered "too large for device".
We already check for compatibility and ignore changes on the peer,
the code only was masked out unless we have a fully established connection.
We just need to allow it a bit earlier during the handshake.
Also consider max_hw_sectors in our merge bvec function, just in case.

Because req->epoch was assigned before calling maybe_pull_ahead(),

When we notice a disk failure on the receiving side,
we stop sending it new incoming writes.
Depending on exact timing of various events, the same transfer log epoch
could end up containing both replicated (before we noticed the failure)
and local-only requests (after we noticed the failure).
The sanity checks in tl_release(), called when receiving a
P_BARRIER_ACK, check that the ack'ed transfer log epoch matches
the expected epoch, and the number of contained writes matches
the number of ack'ed writes.
In this case, they counted both replicated and local-only writes,
but the peer only acknowledges those it has seen. We get a mismatch,
resulting in a protocol error and disconnect/reconnect cycle.
Messages logged are
"BAD! BarrierAck #%u received with n_writes=%u, expected n_writes=%u!\n"
A similar issue can also be triggered when starting a resync while
having a healthy replication link, by invalidating one side, forcing a
full sync, or attaching to a diskless node.
Fix this by closing the current epoch if the state changes in a way
that would cause the replication intent of the next write.
Epochs now contain either only non-replicated,
or only replicated writes.

If we detach due to local read-error (which sets a bit in the bitmap),
stay Primary, and then re-attach (which re-reads the bitmap from disk),
we potentially lost the "out-of-sync" (or, "bad block") information in
the bitmap.
Always (try to) write out the changed bitmap pages before going diskless.
That way, we don't lose the bit for the bad block,
the next resync will fetch it from the peer, and rewrite
it locally, which may result in block reallocation in some
lower layer (or the hardware), and thereby "heal" the bad blocks.
If the bitmap writeout errors out as well, we will (again: try to)
mark the "we need a full sync" bit in our super block,
if it was a READ error; writes are covered by the activity log already.
If that superblock does not make it to disk either, we are sorry.
Maybe we just lost an entire disk or controller (or iSCSI connection),
and there actually are no bad blocks at all, so we don't need to
re-fetch from the peer, there is no "auto-healing" necessary.

We use the RQ_POSTPONED flag to mark a request for several reasons.
It may be a conflicting request in a dual-primary setup,
where conflict detection and resolution on the peer decided that
this request needs to be re-submitted, it needs to re-enter
drbd_make_request() to fix the data divergence caused by these
conflicting, partially overlapping, quasi-simultaneous requests.
In this case we need to mark the corresponding area as out-of-sync,
before we call drbd_al_complete_io().
We also use the RQ_POSTPONED flag to just "push back" a request,
before even processing it, if IO is suspended for some reason.
In this case, as this request was neither submitted nor sent yet,
we must not touch the bitmap.

When thawing IO because the fence_peer handler returned, then we use

Up to now the connection_lost_while_pending event was not applied

Sometimes, a lower level block device turns into a tar-pit,
not completing requests at all, not even doing error completion.
We can force-detach from such a tar-pit block device,
either by disk-timeout, or by drbdadm detach --force.
Queueing for retry only from the request destruction path (kref hit 0)
makes it impossible to retry affected read requests from the peer,
until the local IO completion happened, as the locally submitted
bio holds a reference on the drbd request object.
If we can only complete READs when the local completion finally
happens, we would not need to force-detach in the first place.
Instead, queue for retry where we otherwise had done the error completion.
