[PATCH] FIX: delta_disk can have UnSet value

From: Adam Kwolek <hidden>
Date: 2011-01-27 09:28:28

Delta_disk can be set to UnSet value.
This can a cause to pass wrong parameter to reshape_super().

This is clearly a problem, but I think it is the wrong fix.
If delta_disks is unset, then the new raid_disks number could vary
depending on other values.
E.g. if you has a 4-disk raid5 and ask to convert it to RAID6 without
specifying the number of devices, then it should assume a 5-disk RAID6.
Your change would make it look like a 4-disk RAID6 was requested.

So I think we need to change reshape_super to take a 'delta_disks'
parameter rather than a 'raid_disks' parameter. 
Either that, or figure out the preferred default in advance.
analyse_change does that I think, but it is called later, so we cannot
really use what it produces.

I'm not sure what the best answer is just now - hopefully I'll be able
to look properly on Monday.
