Strictly speaking, this does not break the kernel ABI so this is no violation of Red Hat's own policy, but it's causing some headaches nonetheless. The issue you are facing is fixed in DRBD 8.3.11 and DRBD 8.4.0. LINBIT support customers were provided with a version that fixes this issue, promptly after it became known.
