Subject[GIT PULL] drbd-8.4.2 for the linux-3.8 merge window
Date
Hi Jens,

Please pull drbd-8.4.2 into your for-3.8/drivers branch.

The most noticeable change is the support for multiple replicated
volumes in a single DRBD connection.

This release requires new drbd userland tools >= 8.4.0 (available
since July 2011).
8.4.x is network protocol compatible with all previous releaes.
This release brings a new meta-data format. Forward (8.3 -> 8.4)
conversion happens complete seamless. Backward conversion
is done by a single command (drbdadm apply-al res).

The "recent changes" chapter of our user's guide describes all
changes in detail:
http://www.drbd.org/users-guide/ap-recent-changes.html

Changelog

8.4.2 (api:genl1/proto:86-100)
--------
* Go into inconsistent disk state with on-io-error=pass-on policy
* Timeouts for requests processing on the peer (previously that
worked only if the data socket was congested)
* Conflicting write detection is now based on an interval tree,
removed the hash-tables (necessary for the unlimited BIO sizes)
* Support for multiple volumes (minors, block devices) per connection;
up to 65536 volumes per connection supported
* Reduced IO latencies during some state changes (esp. start resync)
* New on disk format for the AL: double capacity; 4k aligned IO; same space
* Multiple AL changes in a single transaction (precondition for
unlimited BIO sizes)
* DRBD no longer imposes any limit on BIO sizes
* Removed DRBD's limits on the number of minor devices
* DRBD's minors can now be removed (not only unconfigured)
* Switched the user space interface form connector to generic netlink
* The wire-protocol is now a regular connection option, which can be
changed while the device is online
* IO freezing/thawing is done on connection (all volumes) level
* fencing is done on connection (all volumes) level
* Enforce application of activity log after primary crash in user space
* New default values (compared to drbd-8.3) for: minor-count, ko-count, al-extents,
c-plan-ahead, c-fill-target, c-min-rate, use-rle, on-io-error
* Optional load balancing for read requests: new keyword "read-balance"
* New option 'al-updates no' to disable writing transactions into the
activity log. It is use full if you prefer a full sync after a primary
crash, for improved performance of a spread out random write work load
* Expose the data generation identifies via sysfs


Jens, regarding the code:

It has the sysfs bits in again. The reason for that is that we want to
expose more information by that, and remove the /proc/drbd with the
next evolutionary step. -- In case this is a show stopper, let me
remove the sysfs bits.


Here is the git-pull-request test:
(The patch subjects removed to make the mail more digestible)

The following changes since commit ccae7868b0c5697508a541c531cf96b361d62c1c:
