mainlining shenanigans
b2f78e8805
The data on raid0 and raid10 are supposed to be spread over multiple
devices, so the minimum constraints are set to 2 and 4 respectively.
This is an artificial limit and there's some interest to remove it.
Change this to allow raid0 on one device and raid10 on two devices. This
works as expected eg. when converting or removing devices.
The only difference is when raid0 on two devices gets one device
removed. Unpatched would silently create a single profile, while newly
it would be raid0.
The motivation is to allow to preserve the profile type as long as it
possible for some intermediate state (device removal, conversion), or
when there are disks of different size, with raid0 the otherwise
unusable space of the last device will be used too. Similarly for
raid10, though the two largest devices would need to be the same.
Unpatched kernel will mount and use the degenerate profiles just fine
but won't allow any operation that would not satisfy the stricter device
number constraints, eg. not allowing to go from 3 to 2 devices for
raid10 or various profile conversions.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
