Merge branch 'for-jens' of git://git.drbd.org/linux-drbd into for-3.5/drivers

Philipp writes:

This are the updates we have in the drbd-8.3 tree. They are intended
for your "for-3.5/drivers" drivers branch.

These changes include one new feature:
 * Allow detach from frozen backing devices with the new --force option;
   configurable timeout for backing devices by the new disk-timeout option

And huge number of bug fixes:
 * Fixed a write ordering problem on SyncTarget nodes for a write
   to a block that gets resynced at the same time. The bug can
   only be triggered with a device that has a firmware that
   actually reorders writes to the same block
 * Fixed a race between disconnect and receive_state, that could cause
   a IO lockup
 * Fixed resend/resubmit for requests with disk or network timeout
 * Make sure that hard state changed do not disturb the connection
   establishing process (I.e. detach due to an IO error). When the
   bug was triggered it caused a retry in the connect process
 * Postpone soft state changes to no disturb the connection
   establishing process (I.e. becoming primary). When the bug
   was triggered it could cause both nodes going into SyncSource state
 * Fixed a refcount leak that could cause failures when trying to
   unload a protocol family modules, that was used by DRBD
 * Dedicated page pool for meta data IOs
 * Deny normal detach (as opposed to --forced) if the user tries
   to detach from the last UpToDate disk in the resource
 * Fixed a possible protocol error that could be caused by
   "unusual" BIOs.
 * Enforce the disk-timeout option also on meta-data IO operations
 * Implemented stable bitmap pages when we do a full write out of
   the bitmap
 * Fixed a rare compatibility issue with DRBD's older than 8.3.7
   when negotiating the bio_size
 * Fixed a rare race condition where an empty resync could stall with
   if pause/unpause events happen in parallel
 * Made the re-establishing of connections quicker, if it got a broken pipe
   once. Previously there was a bug in the code caused it to waste the first
   successful established connection after a broken pipe event.

PS: I am postponing the drbd-8.4 for mainline for one or two kernel
    development cycles more (the ~400 patchets set).
