[PATCH v2 00/20] drbd: DRBD 9 rework

["Christoph Böhmwalder" <christoph.boehmwalder@linbit.com>]

As discussed (context: [0]), here is our DRBD 9 rework series, intended
for linux-next via for-7.x/drbd.

This replays about 10-15 years of active out-of-tree development work
[1], depending on your way of counting. The out-of-tree module has
severely diverged from the in-tree version over the years, which is
what we are aiming to fix now.

Hopefully that somewhat excuses (or at least explains) the massive
diffs -- we've tried to come up with a way to group the changes by
topic, but I realize it's still not exactly trivial to review.

We've been polishing this series for a while now, and we have taken
great care to make it as "upstream-presentable" as possible. That said,
there are still probably imperfections. It's a start -- feedback
welcome!

The netlink interface has been reworked so that userspace is not
broken: the existing "drbd" generic netlink family keeps being served
at version 1, and this series does not touch its generated
serialization or its UAPI header.
Every shipped drbd-utils release therefore keeps working against this
driver. DRBD 9's own utilities speak a new family, "drbd2", written as
a YNL specification under Documentation/netlink/specs/ and following
current genetlink conventions; its generated code is checked in as
usual. The driver registers both families and translates each onto the
same wire-neutral core, so the multi-peer administration model is only
reachable through drbd2, while version-1 clients see the single-peer
semantics they expect.

The RDMA and load-balancing TCP (lb-tcp) transports are not part of
this series; they will be submitted separately once they have had the
same treatment. The rdma_ctrl_rcvbuf_size
and rdma_ctrl_sndbuf_size net options do remain in the UAPI: they are
generic transport options that are interpreted by whichever transport is
in use, so there is no reason to remove and later re-add them.

The base for these patches is for-7.4/block, plus a set of preparation
patches that were sent earlier but have not yet been applied [2].

As discussed, the goal is to get this applied to a for-7.x/drbd branch
so it can land in linux-next via block-next. After letting it mature
in linux-next for a while, it should go in via the block tree.

Thanks,
Christoph

Changes since v1:
- New modern YNL-based drbd2 netlink family
- Compat layer that serves the old drbd v1 netlink family for userspace
  backward compatibility
- Dropped rdma and lb-tcp transports to reduce the diff size, these will
  be sent later
- Incoroporated review feedback from the previous series
- Many checkpatch/style fixes
