drbd_receiver.c, drbd_asb_recover_0p

|       ch_peer = mdev->p_uuid[UUID_SIZE];
|       ch_self = drbd_bm_total_weight(mdev); ### <==

this ch_self may be different
from the one we communicated before, right?

|       switch ( mdev->net_conf->after_sb_0p ) {
|       ...
|
|       case DiscardZeroChg:

so, if we communicated ch_self == 0, but now ch_self is > 0,
and ch_peer is 0 (inactive peer sees this reversed), then

|                if( ch_peer == 0 && ch_self == 0) {

inactive peer does this, and may decide he is the source;

|                        rv=test_bit(DISCARD_CONCURRENT,&mdev->flags) ? -1 : 1;
|                        break;
|                } else {

active peer does this branch,
and decides he is the source.

|                        if ( ch_peer == 0 ) { rv =  1; break; }
|                        if ( ch_self == 0 ) { rv = -1; break; }
|                }
|                if( mdev->net_conf->after_sb_0p == DiscardZeroChg ) break;

doh. have to think about that...
