Over time, block layer has accumulated a set of APIs dealing with bdev
open, close, claim and release.
* blkdev_get/put() are the primary open and close functions.
* bd_claim/release() deal with exclusive open.
* open/close_bdev_exclusive() are combination of open and claim and
the other way around, respectively.
* bd_link/unlink_disk_holder() to create and remove holder/slave
symlinks.
* open_by_devnum() wraps bdget() + blkdev_get().
The interface is a bit confusing and the decoupling of open and claim
makes it impossible to properly guarantee exclusive access as
in-kernel open + claim sequence can disturb the existing exclusive
open even before the block layer knows the current open if for another
exclusive access. Reorganize the interface such that,
* blkdev_get() is extended to include exclusive access management.
@holder argument is added and, if is @FMODE_EXCL specified, it will
gain exclusive access atomically w.r.t. other exclusive accesses.
* blkdev_put() is similarly extended. It now takes @mode argument and
if @FMODE_EXCL is set, it releases an exclusive access. Also, when
the last exclusive claim is released, the holder/slave symlinks are
removed automatically.
* bd_claim/release() and close_bdev_exclusive() are no longer
necessary and either made static or removed.
* bd_link_disk_holder() remains the same but bd_unlink_disk_holder()
is no longer necessary and removed.
* open_bdev_exclusive() becomes a simple wrapper around lookup_bdev()
and blkdev_get(). It also has an unexpected extra bdev_read_only()
test which probably should be moved into blkdev_get().
* open_by_devnum() is modified to take @holder argument and pass it to
blkdev_get().
Most of bdev open/close operations are unified into blkdev_get/put()
and most exclusive accesses are tested atomically at the open time (as
it should). This cleans up code and removes some, both valid and
invalid, but unnecessary all the same, corner cases.
open_bdev_exclusive() and open_by_devnum() can use further cleanup -
rename to blkdev_get_by_path() and blkdev_get_by_devt() and drop
special features. Well, let's leave them for another day.
Most conversions are straight-forward. drbd conversion is a bit more
involved as there was some reordering, but the logic should stay the
same.

Convert direct reads of an inode's i_size to using i_size_read().
i_size_{read,write} use a seqcount to protect reads from accessing
incomple writes. Concurrent i_size_write()s require mutual exclussion
to protect the seqcount that is used by i_size_{read,write}. But
i_size_read() callers do not need to use additional locking.

If we have contention in drbd_al_begin_iod (heavy randon IO),
an administrative request to detach the disk may deadlock
for similar reasons as the recently fixed deadlock if detaching
because of IO-error.
The approach taken here is to either go through the intermediate
cleanup state D_FAILED, or first lock out application io,
don't just go directly to D_DISKLESS.
We need an additional state bit (WAS_IO_ERROR) to distinguish
the -> D_FAILED because of IO-error from other failures.
Sanitize D_ATTACHING -> D_FAILED to D_ATTACHING -> D_DISKLESS.
If only attaching, ldev may be missing still, but would be referenced
from within the after_state_ch for -> D_FAILED, potentially
dereferencing a NULL pointer.

Scenario:
Something (say, flush-147:0) is in drbd_al_begin_io,
holding a local_cnt, waiting for the resync to make progress.
Disk fails, worker in after_state_ch does drbd_rs_cancel_all,
then waits for local_cnt to drop to zero.
flush-147:0 is woken by drbd_rs_cancel_all, needs to write an AL
transaction, and queues that on the worker.
Deadlock.
Fix: do not wait in the worker, have put_ldev() trigger the
state change D_FAILED -> D_DISKLESS when necessary.
put_ldev() cannot do the state change directly, as it may or may not
already hold various spinlocks. We queue a short work instead.

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

addendum to baa33ae4eaa4477b60af7c434c0ddd1d182c1ae7
The race:
drbd_md_sync()
if (!test_and_clear_bit(MD_DIRTY, &mdev->flags))
return;
==> RACE with drbd_md_mark_dirty() rearming the timer.
del_timer(&mdev->md_sync_timer);
Fixed by moving the del_timer before the test_and_clear_bit.
Additionally only rearm the timer in drbd_md_mark_dirty, if MD_DIRTY was
not already set, reduce the grace period from five to one second, and
add an ifdef'ed debuging aid to find code paths missing an explicit
drbd_md_sync, if any, as those are the only relevant ones for this race.

The actual race happened int the drbd_start_resync() function. Where
drbd_resync_finished() -> __drbd_set_state() set STOP_SYNC_TIMER and
armed the timer.
If the timer fired before execution reaches the mod_timer statement
at the end of drbd_start_resync() the latter would cause an
unexpected call to w_make_resync_request().
Removed the STOP_SYNC_TIMER bit, and base it on the connection state.
The STOP_SYNC_TIMER bit probably originates probably the time before
the state engine.

When the complete device is marked as out of sync, we can disable
updates of the on disk AL. Currently AL updates are only disabled
if one uses the "invalidate-remote" command on an unconnected,
primary device, or when at attach time all bits in the bitmap are
set.
As of now, AL updated do not get disabled when a all bits becomes
set due to application writes to an unconnected DRBD device.
While this is a missing feature, it is not considered important,
and might get added later.
BTW, after initializing a "one legged" DRBD device

drbdadm -- --force primary resX
AL updates also get disabled, until the first connect.

The current resync speed as displayed in /proc/drbd fluctuates a lot.
Using an array of rolling marks makes this calculation much more stable.
We used to have this (a long time ago with 0.7), but it got lost somehow.
If "stalled", do not discard the rest of the information, just add a

All the blkdev_issue_* helpers can only sanely be used for synchronous
caller. To issue cache flushes or barriers asynchronously the caller needs
to set up a bio by itself with a completion callback to move the asynchronous
state machine ahead. So drop the BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT flag that is always
specified when calling blkdev_issue_* and also remove the now unused flags
argument to blkdev_issue_flush and blkdev_issue_zeroout. For
blkdev_issue_discard we need to keep it for the secure discard flag, which
gains a more descriptive name and loses the bitops vs flag confusion.
