dm raid: introduce extended superblock and new raid types to support takeover/reshaping
Add new members to the dm-raid superblock and new raid types to support takeover/reshape. Add all necessary members needed to support takeover and reshape in one go -- aiming to limit the amount of changes to the superblock layout. This is a larger patch due to the new superblock members, their related flags, validation of both and involved API additions/changes: - add additional members to keep track of: - state about forward/backward reshaping - reshape position - new level, layout, stripe size and delta disks - data offset to current and new data for out-of-place reshapes - failed devices bitfield extensions to keep track of max raid devices - adjust super_validate() to cope with new superblock members - adjust super_init_validation() to cope with new superblock members - add definitions for ctr flags supporting delta disks etc. - add new raid types (raid6_n_6 etc.) - add new raid10 supporting function API (_is_raid10_*()) - adjust to changed raid10 supporting function API Signed-off-by: Heinz Mauelshagen <heinzm@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>
