4.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Austin S. Hemmelgarn <[email protected]> commit 88be159c905a2b4f6d59afa352bef410afb6af02 upstream. Currently, we don't allow the user to try and rebalance to a dup profile on a multi-device filesystem. In most cases, this is a perfectly sensible restriction as raid1 uses the same amount of space and provides better protection. However, when reshaping a multi-device filesystem down to a single device filesystem, this requires the user to convert metadata and system chunks to single profile before deleting devices, and then convert again to dup, which leaves a period of time where metadata integrity is reduced. This patch removes the single-device-only restriction from converting to dup profile to remove this potential data integrity reduction. Signed-off-by: Austin S.
