Don't leave servers that are marked VLSF_DONTUSE or VLSF_NEWREPSITE out of the server list for a volume; rather, mark DONTUSE ones excluded and mark either NEWREPSITE excluded if the number of updated servers is <50% of the usable servers or mark !NEWREPSITE excluded otherwise. Mark the server list as a whole with a 3-state flag to indicate whether we think the RW volume is being replicated to the RO volume, and, if so, whether we should switch to using updated replication sites (VLSF_NEWREPSITE) or stick with the old for now. This processing is pushed up from the VLDB RPC reply parser to the code that generates the server list from that information. Doing this allows the old list to be kept with just the exclusion flags replaced and to keep the server records pinned and maintained.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
