Hi Artur,
In 5308f11727b889965efe5ac0e854d197c2b51f6d you introduced struct mdinfo: enum consistency_policy, but in mdadm.c you initialize it to UnSet which isn't part of the enum.
Is there any actual difference between CONSISTENCY_POLICY_UNKNOWN and UnSet? It seems suboptimal to mix and match within the enum like this, and if CONSISTENCY_POLICY_UNKNOWN does the job, couldn't we just initialize with that?
Hi Jes,
The "enum consistency_policy" and "mapping_t consistency_policies[]"
represent values that can appear in sysfs. md/consistency_policy can be
"unknown" when the array is inactive. On the other hand, UnSet just
means that the --consistency-policy= parameter was not provided by the
user. I wanted to differentiate between these two cases. If you think
this is redundant I can change it and use CONSISTENCY_POLICY_UNKNOWN
instead, this should be straightforward.
Hi Artur,
I would prefer to either use CONSISTENCY_POLICY_UNKNOWN or introduce a
new state within the enum so we don't cross pollute the namespace.
Cheers,
Jes
