There are some problems that we fixed in md/raid, and some apis is changed.
However, dm-raid rely the old apis(noted that old apis is problematic in
corner cases), and now there are regressions in lvm2 testsuite.

This patchset fix some regressions(patch 1-3), and revert changes to
prevent regressions(patch 4,5). Noted that the problems in patch 4,5 is
not clear yet, and I'm not able to locate the root cause ASAP, hence I
decide to revert changes to prevent regressions first.

Thanks for looking into this!

Patch 1-3 look good to me. But since we need to back port these fixes
to 6.7 kernels, let's make it very clear what issues are being fixed.
Please:
1. Test on both Linus' master branch and 6.7.y, and explain which tests
are failing before the fixes. (From my tests, the two branches don't have
the same test results). We can put these results in the cover letter and
include them in a merge commit.
2. If possible, add Fixes tag to all patches.
3. Add more details in the commit log, so it is clear what is being fixed.
4. Add "reported-by" and maybe also "closes" tag.


Will do this is the next version. I verified that the following tests
will pass now in my VM:

shell/integrity-caching.sh
shell/lvconvert-raid-reshape.sh

For patch 4-5, especially 5, I wonder whether the same issue also
happens with md. We can probably ship 4-5 now, with the same
improvements as patch 1-3.

With patch 1-3, the test lvconvert-raid-reshape.sh won't hang anymore,
however it still fails and complain that ext4 is corrupted, and I'm
still trying to understand how reshape works in dm-raid. :(

I will run more tests on my side.

Notice that the problem Mykulas mentioned in the patch md: partially
revert "md/raid6: use valid sector values to determine if an I/O should
wait on the reshape" still exist. And again, I'm stll trying to
understand how raid5 works in detail.

Mykulas, please also review and test these patches.

Thanks,
Song
