But in the "unresponsive local disk" case, there remains a time window where a administrative detach command could find the disk already failed, but some internal meta data IO against the unresponsive local disk still pending. In that case, drbd_md_get_buffer() will return NULL. Don't unconditionally call drbd_md_put_buffer(), or it will cause refcount imbalance, and prevent any further re-attach on this volume (until it is deleted and re-created).
