As discussed (context: [0]), here is the first version of our DRBD 9
rework series, intended for for-next via for-7.1/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 main blocker that still remains is that this technically breaks
userspace: some ancient versions of the DRBD userspace utilities will
not be able to talk to this version of the driver (v8 and v9 genetlink
families are completely incompatible).
We will fix that by introducing a completely new genetlink family (think
"drbd2") that follows all modern conventions. Then we can register both
families, going through a compat layer for the old family.
A prerequisite for that is converting the genl_magic macro
infrastructure we use now to YNL. That is already in the pipeline, we
expect to have it ready by the 7.2 merge window.
The plan is to submit one new version of this series for every merge
window, which should end up in linux-next. Within a few kernel
releases, we will hopefully be close enough to get this over the line
and submitted for real.
Thanks,
Christoph
