When a "recover" is just starting for a RAID LV, it is possible to get
"idle" for the sync action if the status is issued quickly enough. This
is fine, the MD thread just hasn't gotten things going yet. However,
the /need/ for a "recover" should be marked in md->recovery and it would
be simple enough to fix the kernel so this doesn't happen. May eventually
want a separate bug for this, but for now it fits with RHBZ 1507719.
There are two known bugs in the lvconvert-raid-status-validation.sh
test. The first one I consider to be more of an annoyance (1507719).
The second one I consider to be more serious (1507729).
RHBZ 1507719 simply documents the fact that the three RAID status
fields may not always be coherent due to the way they are set and
unset when the MD thread is shutting down and starting up. For
example, the sync ratio may be 100% but the sync action may not
yet have switched to "idle" and the health characters may not yet
all be 'A's (i.e. the devices set to InSync).
RHBZ 1507729 is more serious. The sync ratio can be 100% for a
short period of time after upconverting linear -> RAID1. It is
reset to 0 once the MD sync thread gets to work on it. It does
this because, technically, the array /is/ in-sync if the new
devices are excluded - i.e. the data is 100% available and
consistent. I'm not sure what to do about this problem, but we'd
much rather not have this state that looks exactly like the
end of the process when the sync ratio is 100% because the
"recover" process finished, but the sync action and health
characters haven't been updated yet. Put simply, the problem
is that we can't tell if a sync is starting or finished based
on the status output.
New tests to add checking for '100%' in-sync at start of "recover"
process (it shouldn't happen, but I've seen it before). Also,
check status over the whole cycle of various sync processes ("resync"
and "recover").
First test in this file checks whether 'aa' is ever spotted during
a "recover" operation (it should not be). More tests should follow
in this file to look for oddities in status output - especially as
it relates to the sync_ratio, dev_health, and sync_action fields.
