[Drbd-dev] [PATCH 16/19] drbd: drbd_panic_after_delayed_completion_of_aborted_request()

[Philipp Reisner]

From: Lars Ellenberg <lars.ellenberg at linbit.com>

The only way to make DRBD intentionally call panic is to
set a disk timeout, have that trigger, "abort" some request and complete
to upper layers, then have the backend IO subsystem later complete these
requests successfully regardless.

As the attached IO pages have been recycled for other purposes
meanwhile, this will cause unexpected random memory changes.
To prevent corruption, we rather panic in that case.

Make it obvious from stack traces that this was the case by introducing
drbd_panic_after_delayed_completion_of_aborted_request().
