sched/cache: Keep nr_pref_llc_running in the runnable domain, to fix LLC mis-scheduling buggrafted
alb_break_llc() decides whether to break LLC preference during active load balance. It does so by testing that every runnable fair task on the source rq prefers its LLC: env->src_rq->nr_pref_llc_running == env->src_rq->cfs.h_nr_runnable But the two counters cover different sets. nr_pref_llc_running is updated in account_llc_enqueue()/account_llc_dequeue(), next to cfs_rq->nr_queued, so it follows queued tasks. h_nr_runnable is updated in set_delayed()/ clear_delayed() and drops delay-dequeued tasks. So under DELAY_DEQUEUE, a preferring task that goes to sleep stays counted in nr_pref_llc_running while h_nr_runnable falls. The equality then breaks, alb_break_llc() returns false, and active balance is free to pull a task off its preferred LLC. Active balance only moves runnable tasks, and this is the only LLC check it consults: once the stopper runs, LBF_ACTIVE_LB skips the per-task test in can_migrate_task(). The runnable set is the one we want. Fix it on the counter side. A task should be counted in nr_pref_llc_running exactly while it is both queued on its preferred LLC (pref_llc_queued) and runnable (!sched_delayed). Define that membership once in task_pref_llc_runnable(), and adjust the counter only through pref_llc_running_inc()/pref_llc_running_dec() from the four sites that change either input: account_llc_enqueue(), account_llc_dequeue(), set_delayed() and clear_delayed(). Gating every update on the same predicate keeps the delay, wake and dequeue paths from double-counting or underflowing; see the comments at those sites for the ordering. nr_llc_running and sd->llc_counts are not touched and stay on queued semantics.

+
+ DRBD is a shared-nothing, synchronously replicated block device. It
+ is designed to serve as a building block for high availability
+ clusters and in this context, is a "drop-in" replacement for shared
+ storage. Simplistically, you could see it as a network RAID 1.
+
+ Each minor device has a role, which can be 'primary' or 'secondary'.
+ On the node with the primary device the application is supposed to
+ run and to access the device (/dev/drbdX). Every write is sent to
+ the local 'lower level block device' and, across the network, to the
+ node with the device in 'secondary' state. The secondary device
+ simply writes the data to its lower level block device.
+
+ DRBD can also be used in dual-Primary mode (device writable on both
+ nodes), which means it can exhibit shared disk semantics in a
+ shared-nothing cluster. Needless to say, on top of dual-Primary
+ DRBD utilizing a cluster file system is necessary to maintain for
+ cache coherency.
+
+ For automatic failover you need a cluster manager (e.g. heartbeat).

+ The actual simulation of IO errors is done by writing 3 values to

+ 4 resync data write
