The buffer 'sc.cpu_mask' is a kernel buffer.  If bitmap_parse is used
instead of __bitmap_parse the extra parameter that indicates a kernel
buffer is not needed.

<title>drbd: we should write meta data updates with FLUSH FUA</title>

We used to write these with BIO_RW_BARRIER aka REQ_HARDBARRIER (unless
disabled in the configuration). The correct semantic now would be to
write with FLUSH/FUA.
For example, with activity log transactions, FUA alone is not enough, we
need the corresponding bitmap update (and all related application
updates) on stable storage as well.

If we have an asymetrically congested network, we may send P_PING,
but due to congestion, the corresponding P_PING_ACK would time out,
and we would drop a (congested, but otherwise) healthy connection
("PingAck did not arrive in time.")

If we have a good resync rate, we will frequently update the on-disk
bitmap, which, if not accounted for as resync io, may let an otherwise
idle device appear to be "busy", and cause us to throttle resync.

<title>drbd: don't cond_resched_lock with IRQs disabled</title>

The last commit, drbd: add missing spinlock to bitmap receive,
introduced a cond_resched_lock(), where the lock in question is taken
with irqs disabled.

As we must not schedule with IRQs disabled,
and cond_resched_lock_irq() does not exist, yet,
we re-aquire the spin_lock_irq() for each bitmap page processed in turn.

<content type='text'>
During bitmap exchange, when using the RLE bitmap compression scheme,
we have a code path that can set the whole bitmap at once.

To avoid holding spin_lock_irq() for too long, we used to lock out other
bitmap modifications during bitmap exchange by other means, and then,
knowing we have exclusive access to the bitmap, modify it without
the spinlock, and with IRQs enabled.

Since we now allow local IO to continue, potentially setting additional
bits during the bitmap receive phase, this is no longer true, and we get
uncoordinated updates of bitmap members, causing bm_set to no longer
accurately reflect the total number of set bits.

To actually see this, you'd need to have a large bitmap, use RLE bitmap
compression, and have busy IO during sync handshake and bitmap exchange.

Fix this by taking the spin_lock_irq() in this code path as well, but
calling cond_resched_lock() after each page worth of bits processed.
