Use a new form of hints to reduce device scanning in
vgchange -aay run by the udev rule for event based
autoactivation.
Standard hints allow a command with a named VG arg to scan
only the PVs in the named VG, rather than scanning all
available PVs. Standard hints are useful with a stable set
of system devices. When new devices are arriving, as occurs
during system startup, the hints are repeatedly invalidated,
which makes standard hints unhelpful while devices are
regularly appearing. This is the situation in which
vgchange -aay is used, so standard hints are not generally
helpful for autoactivation.
In the context of system startup, pvscan --cache is keeping
track of available PVs using the pvs_online files, similar
to what the hints file does for a running system. Given this,
a new hint mode, hints = "pvs_online", is added which derives
an equivalent to standard hints, based on pvs_online files
that are being created by udev-run pvscans. This hint mode
is useful while devices are appearing, e.g. during system
startup, and vgchange -aay can benefit from it.
pvscan --cache -aay autoactivation already has a similar
optimization (the "quick" activation case) that is based
on the pvs_online file, but it is not implemented as a
form of hints.
This new form of hints is mainly useful in the context of
event based autoactivation, during which standard hints are
not useful. Once the system is in a steady state after startup
(devices are not regularly appearing), the standard hints are
most useful. The pvs_online hint method could be used on a
running system, but would be no better than standard hints,
and may be inferior because pvs_online files are not rigidly
updated after system startup.
System startup runs two new fixed activation services:
lvm-activate-vgs-main and lvm-activate-vgs-last
These activate VGs that are present and complete at the
time of system startup.
The last service enables event activation by creating
the file /run/lvm/event-activation-on. After that,
new devices that appear will be processed by event based
activation commands. Prior to the existence of the
event-activation-on file, event-based commands do nothing.
lvm.conf event_activation_options can be used to
configure service-based activation only, or event-based
activation only, or the default hybrid approach.
Using --vgonline with vgchange -aay makes vgchange use
/run/lvm/vgs_online/ files in the same way as pvscan.
If the online file for the vg does not exist and the
command is able to exclusively create it, then it will
activate the VG. If the online file exists or the create
fails, then the VG will not be activated.
'.ID_FS_TYPE_NEW' is a custom property added by an LVM UDev rule
which is now being removed and 'ID_FS_TYPE' has the same value.

new udev rule 69-dm-lvm.rules replaces
69-dm-lvm-meta.rules and lvm2-pvscan.service
udev rule calls pvscan directly on the added device
pvscan output indicates if a complete VG can be activated
udev env var LVM_VG_NAME_COMPLETE is used to pass complete
VG name from pvscan to the udev rule
udev rule uses systemd-run to run vgchange -aay <vgname>
Configure via lvm.conf log/journal or command line --journal.
Possible values:
"command" records command information.
"output" records default command output.
"debug" records full command debugging.
Multiple values can be set in lvm.conf as an array.
One value can be set in --journal which is added to
values set in lvm.conf
pvscan --cache <dev>
. read only dev
. create online file for dev
pvscan --listvg <dev>
. read only dev
. list VG using dev
pvscan --listlvs <dev>
. read only dev
. list VG using dev
. list LVs using dev
pvscan --cache --listvg [--checkcomplete] <dev>
. read only dev
. create online file for dev
. list VG using dev
. [check online files and report if VG is complete]
pvscan --cache --listlvs [--checkcomplete] <dev>

. create online file for dev
. list VG using dev
. list LVs using dev
. [check online files and report if VG is complete]
. [check online files and report if LVs are complete]
[--vgonline]
can be used with --checkcomplete, to enable use of a vg online
file. This results in only the first pvscan command to see
the complete VG to report 'VG complete', and others will report
'VG finished'. This allows the caller to easily run a single
activation of the VG.
[--udevoutput]
can be used with --cache --listvg --checkcomplete, to enable
an output mode that prints LVM_VG_NAME_COMPLETE='vgname' that
a udev rule can import, and prevents other output from the
command (other output causes udev to ignore the command.)
The list of complete LVs is meant to be passed to lvchange -aay,
or the complete VG used with vgchange -aay.
When --checkcomplete is used, lvm assumes that that the output
will be used to trigger event-based autoactivation, so the pvscan
does nothing if event_activation=0 and --checkcomplete is used.

The new system_id_source="appmachineid" will cause
lvm to use an lvm-specific derivation of the machine-id,
instead of the machine-id directly. This is now
recommended in place of using machineid.
Do not store full path with each archived name reduces memory usage if
the directory has thousands of entries and just add 'dir' path when
needed.
Also emit info print message to a user if the total size of archived
files for a VG is more then 128MiB or 8192 files.
TODO: Consider wheather adding a new 'lvm.conf archive{option}' to support
trimming these wild archive sizes can make situation better.
We already support retain_min && retain_days - but if user is
generating too many and too large archives with minutes - maybe archiving
should be disabled by a user - as it's not producing anything largely usable
and just slows-down command ??
If we add 'retain_max & retain_max_size' the condition will go against
each other and we need to chose priorities.

Consider missing config tree from vg read to be an internal error
since we do not want to 'regenerate' this one in expesive parsing way.
Also if there is any failure on recreating committed VG, make it also
a 'vg_write' error.
Corrupt metadata text (with good mda header) was being handled
in the label_scan phase, but not in the vg_read phase. This
was sufficient because metadata areas would always be read and
checksummed during label_scan (metadata parsing was skipped
previously as an optimization.)
This changed with the optimization in
commit 61a6f9905e
"metadata: optimize reading metadata copies in scan"
Now, some metadata areas will not be read and checksummed
at all during the label_scan phase, only during the vg_read
phase. This means that bad metadata text may first be detected
in the vg_read phase. So, add equivalent bad metadata handling
to the vg_read path to match the label_scan path.
With larger metadata, decoding 'localtime()' for hinting time creation
of every LV may cause excessive check of /etc/localtime file.
Set TZ to ":/etc/localtime" so glibc reads this file just once
instead of check everytime if there has anything changed.
While being in lockless scanning phase, we can avoid reading and checking
matching metadata copies if we already know them from other PV
and just rely on matching metadata header information.
These copies will be examined later during locked metadata read/write
access.
This patch may postpone discovering some read failures to locked phase.
When creating lvm2 metadata for VG, lvm2 allocate some buffer,
and if buffer is not big enough, the buffer is 'reallocated' bigger,
and whole metadata creation is repeated until metadata fits.
We can try to use 'previous' metadata size as hint to reduce looping
here.
Preserve computed crc32 check from first written PV, just like we
preserve generated metadata.
Also there is no need to call crc32 twice on wrapping buffer with 2 calcs,
result must be always the same as with single crc32 checking.
Kernel patch 8b638081bd4520f63db1defc660666ec5f65bc15
introduced support to return UUID in DM_LIST_DEVICES_CMD.
Useful when asking for UUID of each device where the list
could be now returned directly with NAME && UUID for each device.
Returning UUID is done in backward-compatible way. There's one unused
32-bit word value after the event number. This patch sets the bit
DM_NAME_LIST_FLAG_HAS_UUID if UUID is present and
DM_NAME_LIST_FLAG_DOESNT_HAVE_UUID if it isn't (if none of these bits is
set, then we have an old kernel that doesn't support returning UUIDs). The
UUID is stored after this word. The 'next' value is updated to point after
the UUID, so that old version of libdevmapper will skip the UUID without
attempting to interpret it.
