If the drbd worker thread is synchronously waiting for some userland
callback, we don't want some casual pageout to block on us.
Have drbd_congested() report congestion in that case.

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.

In 2009 Philip Reiser notied that a few users of netlink connector
interface needed a capability check and added the idiom
cap_raised(nsp->eff_cap, CAP_SYS_ADMIN) to a few of them, on the premise
that netlink was asynchronous.
In 2011 Patrick McHardy noticed we were being silly because netlink is
synchronous and removed eff_cap from the netlink_skb_params and changed
the idiom to cap_raised(current_cap(), CAP_SYS_ADMIN).
Looking at those spots with a fresh eye we should be calling
capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN). The only reason I can see for not calling capable
is that it once appeared we were not in the same task as the caller which
would have made calling capable() impossible.
In the initial user_namespace the only difference between between
cap_raised(current_cap(), CAP_SYS_ADMIN) and capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) are a
few sanity checks and the fact that capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) sets
PF_SUPERPRIV if we use the capability.
Since we are going to be using root privilege setting PF_SUPERPRIV seems
the right thing to do.
The motivation for this that patch is that in a child user namespace
cap_raised(current_cap(),...) tests your capabilities with respect to that
child user namespace not capabilities in the initial user namespace and
thus will allow processes that should be unprivielged to use the kernel
services that are only protected with cap_raised(current_cap(),..).
To fix possible user_namespace issues and to just clean up the code
replace cap_raised(current_cap(), CAP_SYS_ADMIN) with
capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN).

When a resync or online verify is finished or aborted,
drbd does a bulk write-out of changed bitmap pages.
If *in that very moment* a new verify or resync is triggered,
this can race:
ASSERT( !test_bit(BITMAP_IO, &mdev->flags) ) in drbd_main.c
FIXME going to queue 'set_n_write from StartingSync' but 'write from resync_finished' still pending?
and similar.
This can be observed with e.g. tight invalidate loops in test scripts,
and probably has no real-life implication.
Still, that race can be solved by first quiescen the device,
before starting a new resync or verify.

Changes to the role and disk state should be delayed or rejected
while we establish a connection.
This is necessary, since the peer will base its resync decision
on the UUIDs and the state we sent in the drbd_connect() function.
The most prominent example for this race is becoming primary after
sending state and UUIDs and before the state changes to C_WF_CONNECTION.

DRBD state changes schedule after_state_ch() actions to a worker thread,
which decides on the old and new states of that change, whether to send
an informational state update packet (P_STATE) to the peer.
If it decides to drbd_send_state(), it would however always send the
_curent_ state, which, if a second state change happens before the
after_state_ch() of the first ran, may "fast-forward" the peer's view
about this node. In most cases that is harmless, but sometimes this can
confuse DRBD, for example into not actually starting a necessary resync
if you do a very tight detach/attach loop on a Connected Secondary.
Fix this by always sending the "new" state of the respective state
transition which scheduled this after_state_ch() work.

When detaching, even cleanly detaching due to administrator request,
we always go through D_FAILED before we become D_DISKLESS.
Don't let that state change race with an in-flight meta data IO,

An administrative detach used to request a state change directly to D_DISKLESS,
first suspending IO to avoid the last put_ldev() occuring from an endio handler,
potentially in irq context.
This is not enough on the receiving side (typically secondary), we may miss
some peer_req on the way to local disk, which then may do the last put_ldev()
from their drbd_peer_request_endio().
This patch makes the detach always go through the intermediate D_FAILED state.
We may consider to rename it D_DETACHING.
Alternative approach would be to create yet an other work item to be scheduled
on the worker, do the destructor work from there, and get the timing right.
