For the test clean-up, I was providing too many devices to the first
command - possibly allowing it to allocate in the wrong place. I was
also not providing a device for the second command - virtually ensuring
the test was not performing correctly at times.
This patch ensures that under normal conditions (i.e. not during repair
operations) that users are prevented from removing devices that would
cause data loss.
When a RAID1 is undergoing its initial sync, it is ok to remove all but
one of the images because they have all existed since creation and
contain all the data written since the array was created. OTOH, if the
RAID1 was created as a result of an up-convert from linear, it is very
important not to let the user remove the primary image (the source of
all the data). They should be allowed to remove any devices they want
and as many as they want as long as one original (primary) device is left
during a "recover" (aka up-convert).
This fixes bug 1461187 and includes the necessary regression tests.
Add the checks necessary to distiguish the state of a RAID when the primary
source for syncing fails during the "recover" process.
It has been possible to hit this condition before (like when converting from
2-way RAID1 to 3-way and having the first two devices die during the "recover"
process). However, this condition is now more likely since we treat linear ->
RAID1 conversions as "recover" now - so it is especially important we cleanly
handle this condition.
Previously, we were treating non-RAID to RAID up-converts as a "resync"
operation. (The most common example being 'linear -> RAID1'.) RAID to
RAID up-converts or rebuilds of specific RAID images are properly treated
as a "recover" operation.
Since we were treating some up-convert operations as "resync", it was
possible to have scenarios where data corruption or data loss were
possibilities if the RAID hadn't been able to sync completely before a
loss of the primary source devices. In order to ensure that the user took
the proper precautions in such scenarios, we required a '--force' option
to be present. Unfortuneately, the force option was rendered useless
because there was no way to distiguish the failure state of a potentially
destructive repair from a nominal one - making the '--force' option a
requirement for any RAID1 repair!
We now treat non-RAID to RAID up-converts properly as "recover" operations.
This eliminates the scenarios that can potentially cause data loss or
data corruption; and this eliminates the need for the '--force' requirement.
This patch removes the requirement to specify '--force' for RAID repairs.
Two of the sync actions performed by the kernel (aka MD runtime) are
"resync" and "recover". The "resync" refers to when an entirely new array
is going through the process of initializing (or resynchronizing after an
unexpected shutdown). The "recover" is the process of initializing a new
member device to the array. So, a brand new array with all new devices
will undergo "resync". An array with replaced or added sub-LVs will undergo
"recover".
These two states are treated very differently when failures happen. If any
device is lost or replaced while "resync", there are no worries. This is
because any writes created from the inception of the array have occurred to
all the devices and can be safely recovered. Even though non-initialized
portions will still be resync'ed with uninitialized data, it is ok. However,
if a pre-existing device is lost (aka, the original linear device in a
linear -> raid1 convert) during a "recover", data loss can be the result.
Thus, writes are errored by the kernel and recovery is halted. The failed
device must be restored or removed. This is the correct behavior.
Unfortunately, we were treating an up-convert from linear as a "resync"
when we should have been treating it as a "recover". This patch
removes the special case for linear upconvert. It allows each new image
sub-LV to be marked with a rebuild flag and treats the array as 'in-sync'.
This has the correct effect of causing the upconvert to be treated as a
"recover" rather than a "resync". There is no need to flag these two states
differently in LVM metadata, because they are already considered differently
by the kernel RAID metadata. (Any activation/deactivation will properly
resume the "recover" process and not a "resync" process.)
We make this behavior change based on the presense of dm-raid target
version 1.9.0+.
On conversion from raid10 to raid0 (takeover), all rmeta
devices and the rimage devices of mirrored stripes are
detached from the raid10 LV. The remaining rimage areas
are being shifted down into the slots of the detached
ones hence requiring renames to show proper _N suffix
sequences (e.g. 0,1,2,3 instead of 0,2,4,6). Only the
top-level raid10 LV has a cluster lock, not the detached
SubLVs thus their deactivation is impossible and e.g the
rename from *_rimage_6 to *_rimage_3 will fail. Fix by
activating exclusively before deactivating and removing.

Prohibit activation of reshaping RaidLVs on incompatible
lvm2 runtime by storing e.g. 'raid5+RESHAPE' segment type
strings in the lvm2 metadata. Incompatible runtime not
supporting reshaping won't be able to activate those thus
avoiding potential data corruption.
Any new non-reshaping lvconvert command will reset the
segment type string from 'raid5+RESHAPE' to 'raid5'.
See commits
0299a7af1e and
4141409eb0
for segtype flag support.
Only support RAID conversions on active LVs.
If we'd accept e.g. upconverting linear -> raid1 on inactive
linear LVs, any LV flags passed to the kernel aren't properly
cleared thus errouneously passing them on every activation.
Add respective check to lv_raid_change_image_count() and
move existing one in lv_raid_convert() for better messages.
Reject any stripe adding/removing reshape on raid4/5/6/10 because
of related MD kernel deadlock on single core systems until
we get a proper fix in MD.

Commit 5fe07d3574 failed to set raid5 types
properly on conversions from raid6. It always enforced raid6_ls_6
for types raid6/raid6_zr/raid6_nr/raid6_nc, thus requiring 3 conversions
instead of 2 when asking for raid5_{la,rs,ra,n}.

Offer possible interim LV types and display their aliases
(e.g. raid5 and raid5_ls) for all conversions between
striped and any raid LVs in case user requests a type
not suitable to direct conversion.
E.g. running "lvconvert --type raid5 LV" on a striped
LV will replace raid5 aka raid5_ls (rotating parity)
with raid5_n (dedicated parity on last image).
User is asked to repeat the lvconvert command to get to the
requested LV type (raid5 aka raid5_ls in this example)
when such replacement occurs.

lvconvert parameters not causing a conversion (i.e. no type,
number of stripes, stripesize or regionsize changes) will
remove any allocated reshape space in which case the command
returns success. If reshape space does not exist though,
return error.
Reshape check failed when regionsize changed and current raid type
was provided with no other change requested (stripes or stripesize).
E.g. "lvconvert --type raid6 --regionsize 256K" on a raid6 LV
with != 256K regionsize.
Enable --type in test script.
Remove any newly allocated sub LV (pair) remnants in case
allocation fails due to lag of (parallel) free PV space
and keep initial raid type.

Avoid error message
"Logical Volume *_rimage_0 already exists in volume group,,,"
on takeover conversion from a 2-legged raid1 to raid4
(aiming to reshape it adding images).
Resolves: rhbz1439398
Requesting _raid_remove_images() to commit the
metadata missed to reload the origin causing a
kernel takeover error converting a 2-legged raid1
(with previously removed images) to raid5.
Allow the combination of both arguments keeping
the raid level but changing the regionssize
(e.g. "lvconvert --type raid1 --regionsize 1M RaidLV"
on an existing raid1 LV).
Resolves: rhbz1438396
Removing some unused new lines and changing some incorrect "can't
release until this is fixed" comments. Rename license.txt to make
it clear its merely an included file, not itself a licence.
If SubLVs to be removed still exist after an image removing
conversion (i.e. "lvconvert --yes --force --stripes N "
with N < total stripes) any request to convert to a different
striped/raid* level has to be rejected until after those freed
SubLVs got removed by running the aforementioned lvconvert again.
Add tests to check conversion to striped/raid* gets rejected.
Enhance a test comment.
