How exactly do you "test"?
Kernel and hardware?
(sorry, if you posted that earlier, just point me to it)

I triggered a full sync (drbdadm invalidate),
and while that was running, access the Primary(SyncSource)
(cp -av /somethinghuge/ /mnt/drbd-mount-point/)

I don't see those here.

> DRBD, Cmd: WriteAck, BlkId: SYNCER Sector: 0, AckLen: 8000

I don't see these either.

nor these.

this is bad...

What I do see here is: "ap_pending > 0" still too often, when I
disconnect during resync + write activity, effectively blocking the
Primary's io subsystem.  seemingly we still got bugs in tl_clear :(
need to look into that further.

outch.
