Dear DRBD-users,
Here is the drbd-9.2.16 final release. The bugs fixed in this release
are mostly exotic corner cases. One fix is that a fatal user error
causes the machine to enter an annoying out-of-memory condition in
previous DRBD releases.
The developers have switched their interest to the 9.3 branch. I want to
roll it out internally, following the so-called 'eat your own dog food'
strategy, before I declare it a final release. I plan to release 9.3.0
early next week.
9.2.16 (api:genl2/proto:86-101,118-122/transport:19)
--------
* Do not trigger the OOM-killer when allocating a too-big dirty
bitmap during attach; instead, fail the attach operation.
* Do not flush half-created packets out while closing a connection
* Fixed a bug that, in rare circumstances, when flapping between
Ahead and resync, can lead to a divide by zero error.
* Fixed a bug that caused DRBD to send too many P_PEERS_IN_SYNC
packets when finishing a resync; on huge devices ( >10TB), that led
to temporarily higher I/O latencies.
* Fixed two unhandled corner case to automatically reintegrate an I/O
frozen primary into a larger partition that created a newer data
generation
* Compatibility with Linux-6.17 and 6.18-rc6

9.3.0-rc.6 (api:genl2/proto:86-101,118-123/transport:19)
--------
* Implemented support for bitmap granularity between 4k and 1M,
including exchanging bitmaps with peers with a different bitmap
block size
* Add support for omitting bitmap allocation for standalone devices
* Explicit config option for drbd8-api-compatibility mode
* Give filesystems mounted on DRBD a chance to bring their on-disk
representations into a consistent state before suspending I/O.
* Fixes for resync without replication
* All fixes from 9.2.14, 9.2.15 and 9.2.16
* Compatibility with Linux-6.17
