    dm raid: stop keeping raid set frozen altogether · 11e47232
    Heinz Mauelshagen authored
    In order to avoid redoing synchronization/recovery/reshape partially,
    the raid set got frozen until after all passed in table line flags had
    been cleared.  The related table reload sequence had to be precisely
    followed, or reshaping may lead to data corruption caused by the active
    mapping carrying on with a reshape when the inactive mapping already
    had retrieved a stale reshape position.
    
    Harden by retrieving the actual resync/recovery/reshape position
    during resume whilst the active table is suspended thus avoiding
    to keep the raid set frozen altogether.  This prevents superfluous
    redoing of an already resynchronized or recovered segment and,
    most importantly, potential for redoing of an already reshaped
    segment causing data corruption.
