Steve is explaining the addition of cpg_totem_confchg_fn:
http://www.corosync.org/git/?p=corosync.git;a=commitdiff;h=e8b143595cd3b3827c044164873c7825bc65b726

which I used here:
http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=cluster.git;a=commitdiff;h=6dd65cf344d05730cbccb99ce5265e84f762bfde

after asking for here:
https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/openais/2009-September/013022.html

I wouldn't explain it in terms of clusterfs's or fenced.  It's really
addressing a shortcoming in the corosync API's.  The problem was that it
was impossible to correlate a callback from the cpg library with a
callback from another library for the same underlying event.
