When converting a large linear device to mirror with --stripes parameter

in lvconvert command, it will report the following error:



ioctl/libdm-iface.c:1895    device-mapper: reload ioctl on  (254:0)
failed: Invalid argument



and the related kernel messages:



kernel: [ 2290.698171] device-mapper: dirty region log: log device 254:1
too small: need 7078912 bytes

kernel: [ 2290.698248] device-mapper: table: 254:0: mirror: Error

Analysis: In kernel space the required log size depends on the whole

target device size.But in user space, the log size is calculated from

the whole target devices size divided by allocation area number, which

leads to the mismatch here.

Hello,

This patch looks good to me.

I give a little more explain.

Scenario:
there is a "--type mirror" LV with two legs: one leg is linear dev, another leg is striped devs.

the disks (LV) layout:
```
# lsblk
NAME               MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda                  8:0    0  200M  0 disk
└─vg1-lv1_mimage_0 254:4    0   96M  0 lvm
   └─vg1-lv1        254:2    0   96M  0 lvm
sdb                  8:16   0  200M  0 disk
└─vg1-lv1_mimage_1 254:5    0   96M  0 lvm
   └─vg1-lv1        254:2    0   96M  0 lvm
sdc                  8:32   0  200M  0 disk
└─vg1-lv1_mimage_1 254:5    0   96M  0 lvm
   └─vg1-lv1        254:2    0   96M  0 lvm
sdd                  8:48   0  200M  0 disk
├─vg1-lv1_mlog     254:3    0    4M  0 lvm
│ └─vg1-lv1        254:2    0   96M  0 lvm
└─vg1-lv1_mimage_1 254:5    0   96M  0 lvm
   └─vg1-lv1        254:2    0   96M  0 lvm

# dmsetup table
vg1-lv1: 0 196608 mirror disk 2 254:3 2048 2 254:4 0 254:5 0 1 handle_errors
vg1-lv1_mlog: 0 8192 linear 8:48 73728
vg1-lv1_mimage_1: 0 196608 striped 3 512 8:16 8192 8:32 8192 8:48 8192
vg1-lv1_mimage_0: 0 196608 linear 8:0 8192
```

Present lvm algorithm: "whole one leg size" / "striped devices number". (96MB / 3)
But kernel side dm-log module doesn't div "striped devices number". (96MB)
The kernel side algorithm is correct.
Let's image, in top layer, mirrored LV only know it has two same legs, disk log only related top
layer write IO.


It looks lvm2 algoritm is wrong from the first commit:
```
commit 16d9293bd7205c6ad2e932225aafca7513e540d9
Author: Alasdair Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
Date:   Mon Mar 1 20:00:20 2010 +0000

     Extend core allocation code in preparation for mirrored log areas.
```


The "--type mirror" is marked as deprecated many years ago. Does it block this patch to be accepted?

Maybe I miss somethings for the related code in lvm2 function _alloc_init()?

```_alloc_init@lib/metadata/lv_manip.c

     } else { //the "else" branch suites for other LV types except for "mirror"?
         ah->log_area_count = metadata_area_count;
         ah->log_len = !metadata_area_count ? 0 :
             _mirror_log_extents(ah->region_size, extent_size,
                         (existing_extents + new_extents) / ah->area_multiple);
     }

```

Thanks
Heming
