Hi Philipp, Christoph,

Friendly ping on this patch. We are planning to integrate it into our
next release and our engineering team asked whether you could provide
a brief risk assessment or a Reviewed-by tag for the in-tree 8.4
backport.

To summarize the risk profile from our side:

- The change is confined to drbd_rs_c_min_rate_throttle() — only the
throttle decision, no data path or replication protocol changes.
- Worst-case failure mode (ap_bio_cnt not reflecting reality) is
equivalent to c-min-rate=0, which is already a supported config.
- The approach is identical to what drbd 9.x already uses.

Could you confirm the patch is correct as-is, or provide a Reviewed-by
/ Acked-by if you're comfortable with it? If there are any concerns
or suggested changes, happy to spin a v3.

Thanks,
Ionut
