^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300  2) kernel data structure for DRBD-9

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300  5) This describes the in kernel data structure for DRBD-9. Starting with
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300  6) Linux v3.14 we are reorganizing DRBD to use this data structure.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300  8) Basic Data Structure
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300  9) ====================

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 11) A node has a number of DRBD resources.  Each such resource has a number of
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 12) devices (aka volumes) and connections to other nodes ("peer nodes"). Each DRBD
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 13) device is represented by a block device locally.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 14) 
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 15) The DRBD objects are interconnected to form a matrix as depicted below; a
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 16) drbd_peer_device object sits at each intersection between a drbd_device and a
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 17) drbd_connection::

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 30) In this table, horizontally, devices can be accessed from resources by their
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 31) volume number.  Likewise, peer_devices can be accessed from connections by
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 32) their volume number.  Objects in the vertical direction are connected by double
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 33) linked lists.  There are back pointers from peer_devices to their connections a
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 34) devices, and from connections and devices to their resource.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 35) 
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 36) All resources are in the drbd_resources double-linked list.  In addition, all
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 37) devices can be accessed by their minor device number via the drbd_devices idr.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 38) 
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 39) The drbd_resource, drbd_connection, and drbd_device objects are reference
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 40) counted.  The peer_device objects only serve to establish the links between
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 41) devices and connections; their lifetime is determined by the lifetime of the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 42) device and connection which they reference.
