Switching to closed state earlier can cause the block-drbd script to fail with 'Device is held open by someone':

AFAICT, this will cause the backend to never switch to 'Closed' state until the toolstack sets online to 0, which is not good IMO.
If for example a frontend decides to close a device, the backend will stay in state 'Closing' until the toolstack actually removes the disk by setting online to 0.
This will prevent resetting blk connections, as blkback will refuse to switch to state XenbusStateInitWait unless it's at XenbusStateClosed (see the XenbusStateInitialising case in frontend_changed), which will never be reached with your patch.
Maybe the easiest solution would be to wait in the block-drbd script until the device is released? Maybe using fstat in a loop or one of the drbd tools?
Thanks, Roger.
