[Bug 607835] [NEW] New Upstream Release DRBD 8.3.8.1

[Andres Rodriguez]

Public bug reported:

The DRBD Kernel module has been included to mainline starting from
kernel 2.6.33.

The Module included in the Maverick kernel (2.6.35) is DRBD 8.3.8. The
new upstream changes are detailed as follows:

8.3.8.1 (api:88/proto:86-94)
 * Revert delay probes, they could potentially lead to stalled resync.
   Feature is being re-implemented differently
 * DRBD ocf resource agent now treats hostnames case insensitive

8.3.8 (api:88/proto:86-94)
--------
 * Do not expose failed local READs to upper layers, regression introduced
   in 8.3.3
 * Fixed support for devices with 4k hard sector size (again)
 * Fixed a potential Oops in the disconnect code
 * Fixed a race condition that could cause DRBD to consider the peers disk
   as Inconstent after resync instead of UpToDate (Bugz 271)
 * Fixed a reace condition that could cause DRBD to consider the peers disk
   as Outdated instead of Inconsistent during resync (Bugz 277)
 * Disallow to start a resync with invalidate / invalidate-remote when the
   source disk is not UpToDate
 * Forcing primary works now also for Consistent, not only for Outdated and
   Inconsistent (Bugz 266)
 * Improved robustness against corrupt or malicous sector addresses when
   receiving data
 * Added the initial-split-brain, it gets called also if the split-brain gets
   automatically resolved
 * Added the --assume-clean option for the resize command, it causes drbd to
   not resync the new storage after an online grow operation
 * drbdadm: Do not segfault if stacked-on-top-of refers to an undefined res
 * drbdadm: Do not consider configs with invalid after statements as invalid
 * drbdadm: Do not segfault if the peer's proxy section is missing
 * drbdadm: Allow nullglob in include statement
 * drbdadm: Fixed the use of waitpid
 * init script: fix insserv headers (Debian 576901)
 * Gave the receiving code the ability to use multiple BIOs for writing a
   single data packet; now DRBD works with BIOs up to 32kByte also on LVM
   devices; from now on the use_bmbv config option does nothing
 * New command check-resize, that allows DRBD to detect offline resizing
   and to move internal meta-data accordingly
 * Added a control loop, that allows DRBD to find auto tune the resync
   speed, on connections with large queues (drbd-proxy)
 * --dry-run option for connect; disconnects after sync handshake
 * --overwrite-data-of-peer got an alias named --force
 * Improvements to crm-fence-peer
 * Fixed option parsing and stacking in snapshot-resync-target-lvm.sh
 * Compiles on 2.6.33 and 2.6.34
