So, I have been able to recreate the case where lvconvert-repair-raid.sh
keeps failing. It happens when I tried running the reproducer on a virtual
machine made using a cloud image, instead of one that I manually
installed. I'm not sure why there is a difference. But I can show you
how I can reliably recreate the errors I'm seeing.


Create a new Fedora 39 virtual machine with the following commands (I'm
not sure if it is possible to reproduce this on a machine using less
memory and cpus, but I can try that if you need me to. You probably also
want to pick a faster Fedora Mirror for the image location):
# virt-install --name repair-test --memory 8192 --vcpus 8 --disk size=40 --graphics none --extra-args "console=ttyS0" --osinfo detect=on,name=fedora-unknown --location https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/39/Server/x86_64/os/

Install to the whole virtual drive, using the default LVM partitioning.
Then ssh into the VM and run the following commands to setup the
lvm2-testsuite and 6.6.0 kernel:

# dnf upgrade grub2
# dnf install -y git gcc bc flex make bison openssl openssl-devel dwarves zstd elfutils-libelf-devel libaio-devel lvm2 g++
# git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
# git clone git://sourceware.org/git/lvm2.git
# cd ~/lvm2
# ./configure
# make
# cd ~/linux
# git checkout -b ver6.6 v6.6
# cp /boot/config-`uname -r` .config
# make olddefconfig
# modprobe -a dm_raid dm_delay ext4 raid1 raid10 brd
# yes "" | make localmodconfig
# make -j8
# make modules_install
# make install
# reboot

ssh back into the VM, and run the following commands to run
lvm2-testsuite:

# mount -o remount,dev /tmp
# cd ~/lvm2
# make check T=lvconvert-repair-raid.sh

This should always pass. I ran it 100 times without failure.

To test the patched kernel, run:

# cd ~/linux
# git checkout -b dmraid-fix-v5 v6.8-rc3
# git am ~/dmraid-fix-v5.mbox  ***Apply the v5 patches***
# make olddefconfig
# make -j8
# make modules_install
# make install
# reboot

Rerun the lvm2-testsuite with the same commands as before:

# mount -o remount,dev /tmp
# cd ~/lvm2
# make check T=lvconvert-repair-raid.sh

This fails about 20% of the time, usually at either line 146 or 164. You
can check by running the following command when the test fails.

# grep "STACKTRACE()" ~/lvm2/test/results/ndev-vanilla\:shell_lvconvert-repair-raid.sh.txt
[ 0:13.152] ## 1 STACKTRACE() called from /root/lvm2/test/shell/lvconvert-repair-raid.sh:146

Let me know if you have any questions, or if this doesn't work for you.
