Unconditionally announce FLUSH/FUA to upper layers.
If the lower layers on either node do not actually support this,
generic_make_request() will deal with it.
If this causes performance regressions on your setup,
make sure there are no volatile caches involved,
and mount -o nobarrier or equivalent.

Aborting local requests (not waiting for completion from the lower level
disk) is dangerous: if the master bio has been completed to upper
layers, data pages may be re-used for other things already.
If local IO is still pending and later completes,
this may cause crashes or corrupt unrelated data.
Only abort local IO if explicitly requested.
Intended use case is a lower level device that turned into a tarpit,
not completing io requests, not even doing error completion.

If the backing device is already frozen during attach, we failed
to recognize that. The current disk-timeout code works on top
of the drbd_request objects. During attach we do not allow IO
and therefore never generate a drbd_request object but block
before that in drbd_make_request().
This patch adds the timeout to all drbd_md_sync_page_io().
Before this patch we used to go from D_ATTACHING directly
to D_DISKLESS if IO failed during attach. We can no longer
do this since we have to stay in D_FAILED until all IO
ops issued to the backing device returned.

drbd_try_clear_on_disk_bm() has a sanity check for the number of blocks
left to be resynced (rs_left) in the current resync extent.
If it detects a mismatch, it complains, and forces a disconnect using
drbd_force_state(mdev, NS(conn, C_DISCONNECTING));
Unfortunately, this may be called while holding the req_lock,
and drbd_force_state() want's to aquire that lock itself. Deadlock.
Don't force a disconnect, but fix up rs_left by recounting and
reassigning the number of dirty blocks in that extent.

We used to write these with BIO_RW_BARRIER aka REQ_HARDBARRIER (unless
disabled in the configuration). The correct semantic now would be to
write with FLUSH/FUA.
For example, with activity log transactions, FUA alone is not enough, we
need the corresponding bitmap update (and all related application
updates) on stable storage as well.

Before:
drbd_rs_begin_io() locked app-IO out of an RS extent, and
waited then until all previous app-IO in that area finished.
(But not only until the disk-IO was finished but until the
barrier/epoch ack came in for that == round trip time latency ++)
After:
As soon as a new app-IO waits wants to start new IO on that
RS extent, drbd_rs_begin_io() steps aside (clearing the
BME_NO_WRITES flag again). It retries after 100ms.

We only issue resync requests if there is no significant application IO
going on. = Application IO has higher priority than resnyc IO.
If application IO can not be started because the resync process locked
an resync_lru entry, start the IO operations necessary to release the

To ease tracking of bios in some hash tables, we want it to
not cross certain boundaries (128k, used to be 32k).
We limit the maximum bio size using queue parameters.
Historically some defines and variables we use there have been named
max_segment_size, which was misguided. Rename them to max_bio_size,
and use [blk_]queue_max_hw_sectors where appropriate.

If we get an IO-error during an activity log transaction,
if we failed to write the bitmap of the evicted extent,
we must not write the transaction itself.
If we failed to write the transaction,
we must not even submit the corresponding bio,
as its extent is not yet marked in the activity log.
Otherwise, if this was a disconneted Primary (degraded cluster), which
now lost its disk as well, and we later re-attach the same backend
storage, we possibly "forget" to resync some parts of the disk that
potentially have been changed.
On the receiving side, when receiving from a peer with unhealthy disk,
checking for pdsk == D_DISKLESS is not enough, we need to set out of
sync and do AL transactions for everything pdsk < D_INCONSISTENT on the
receiving side.

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
" (stalled)" tag to the progress line.
This patch also shortens a spinlock critical section somewhat, and

Remove the current bio flags and reuse the request flags for the bio, too.
This allows to more easily trace the type of I/O from the filesystem
down to the block driver. There were two flags in the bio that were
missing in the requests: BIO_RW_UNPLUG and BIO_RW_AHEAD. Also I've
renamed two request flags that had a superflous RW in them.
Note that the flags are in bio.h despite having the REQ_ name - as
blkdev.h includes bio.h that is the only way to go for now.

Up to now, applying the in-core activity-log to the on-disk
bitmap did not care for logical_block_size.
On logical_block_size != 512 byte, this very likely results
in misalligned block access and spurious "io errors".
We now simply always submit aligned whole 4k blocks, fixing this
for logical block sizes of 512, 1024, 2048 and 4096.
For even larger logical block sizes, this won't work.
But I'm not aware of devices with such properties being available.
