Multiple failure scenario: a) all good Connected Primary/Secondary UpToDate/UpToDate b) lose disk on Primary, Connected Primary/Secondary Diskless/UpToDate c) continue to write to the device, changes only make it to the Secondary storage. d) lose disk on Secondary, Connected Primary/Secondary Diskless/Diskless e) now try to re-attach on Primary This would have succeeded before, even though that is clearly the wrong data set to attach to (missing the modifications from c). Because we only compared our "effective" and the "to-be-attached" data generation uuid tags if (device->state.conn < C_CONNECTED). Fix: change that constraint to (device->state.pdsk != D_UP_TO_DATE) compare the uuids, and reject the attach. This patch also tries to improve the reverse scenario: first lose Secondary, then Primary disk, then try to attach the disk on Secondary. Before this patch, the attach on the Secondary succeeds, but since commit drbd: disconnect, if the wrong UUIDs are attached on a connected peer the Primary will notice unsuitable data, and drop the connection hard. Though unfortunately at a point in time during the handshake where we cannot easily abort the attach on the peer without more refactoring of the handshake. We now reject any attach to "unsuitable" uuids, as long as we can see a Primary role, unless we already have access to "good" data.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
