[LU-13709] 'lfs mkdir -i -1' may not initialize target MDTs correctly

• Type: Bug
• Resolution: Fixed
• Priority: Minor
• Fix Version/s: Lustre 2.14.0, Lustre 2.12.6
• Affects Version/s: Lustre 2.12.0
• Severity: 3
• Assignee: Lai Siyao
• Reporter: Lai Siyao

Description

When 'lfs mkdir -i -1' is used to create directory with balanced MDT usage, it may not initialize target MDTs correctly, which will cause verify_dir_param() report "stripe offset x is not in target list".

From 2.13 MDT object QoS allocation is supported, and these codes are removed, so this needs to be fixed in 2.12 only.

OK. So now everything Is landed to master but we should consider back porting the test to b2_12?

It's always good to add new test, though sanity 413a and 413b verified MDT object QoS allocation, and 413a uses "lfs mkdir" without "-i" to verify directories are created by QoS.

Lai, master has more instances of "mkdir" without "-i" argument in the test suite than b2_12 does, but even in master I don't see a test that sanity checks the stripe placement; so I think https://review.whamcloud.com/39457 is still useful.  If you agree, can you review the patch?  And if you think it's redundant, let me know and I'll abandon it?  Thanks.
