[dm-devel] [PATCH 0/3] [RESEND]dm-raid1: several fixes about writing on out of sync mirror device

Hi Heinz,
The test idea is basically the same as before, except mounting the lv with ext3
and iozone with the following script.
#! /bin/sh
var=0
while [ $var -lt 10 ] 
do
        let "var += 1"
        date
        iozone  -i 0 -i 1 -i 2 -l 3 -u 3 -r 4k -s 100m -F /mnt/lv/f1 /mnt/lv/f2 /mnt/lv/f3
        date
done

My machine is KVM virtual machine with 2G memory and 4 CPUs.
And the test result is the same. After the failed device comes back, dm-raid1 could do
the recovery and get full synced.(`dmsetup status vg-lv`show that all the regions are sync)
And we can see that data reading from the default mirror and writing to the other legs with 
iostat while doing the recovery.

We are still working on the userspace part. Once it's done, we will also send a 
test case to cover this feature.

Regards,
Lidong
