[LU-9348] brw_size is not always dynamically changeable

• Type: Bug

Description

On one OSS I could do:
[root@wolf-3 combined]# lctl set_param obdfilter.lsdraid-OST0000.brw_size=1
obdfilter.lsdraid-OST0000.brw_size=1
[root@wolf-3 combined]# lctl set_param obdfilter.*.brw_size=1
obdfilter.lsdraid-OST0000.brw_size=1

But on another OSS I could not do the same thing:

1. lctl set_param obdfilter.*.brw_size=1
   error: set_param: setting /proc/fs/lustre/obdfilter/lsdraid-OST0001/brw_size=1: Numerical result out of range
   [root@wolf-4 combined]# cat /proc/fs/lustre/obdfilter/lsdraid-OST0001/brw_size
   16
   [root@wolf-4 combined]# echo "0" > /proc/fs/lustre/obdfilter/lsdraid-OST0001/brw_size
   -bash: echo: write error: Numerical result out of range
   [root@wolf-4 combined]# echo "1" > /proc/fs/lustre/obdfilter/lsdraid-OST0001/brw_size
   -bash: echo: write error: Numerical result out of range
   [root@wolf-4 combined]# echo "16" > /proc/fs/lustre/obdfilter/lsdraid-OST0001/brw_size
   [root@wolf-4 combined]# echo "17" > /proc/fs/lustre/obdfilter/lsdraid-OST0001/brw_size
   -bash: echo: write error: Numerical result out of range
   [root@wolf-4 combined]# echo "10" > /proc/fs/lustre/obdfilter/lsdraid-OST0001/brw_size
   -bash: echo: write error: Numerical result out of range

The impact is that this pool has to be unmounted and destroyed before more testing with different brw_size can continue. This only happens with OSTs that have been used with existing data, on a newly formatted OST I seem to be able to change the size every time.
