Subject: [Drbd-dev] [PATCH 15/19] drbd: add comment why we want to first call local-io-error, then send state

From: Lars Ellenberg <lars.ellenberg@linbit.com>
Even though we really want to get the state information about our bad
disk to the peer as soon as possible, it is useful to first call the
local-io-error handler.
People may chose to hard-reset the box from there.
If that looks and behaves exactly like a "regular node crash", without
bumping the data generation UUIDs on the peer in between, it makes it
easier to deal with.
If you intend to return from the local-io-error handler, then better
return as quickly as possible to avoid triggering other timeouts.
