cf46f4baee filters: sysfs use device_id_sysfs_dir
This is mainly useful in internal testing - but keep sysfs dir also
passed to filter.
Also drop use of static variable within sysfs filter and base whole
config at creation time.

bd05318ba2 pvscan: filter does not need to be checked for symlink names
With the recent use of DEVLINKS, there is no longer any real
point in checking the filter for symlink names.  Removing
this check should not change behavior with or without symlinks
in the filter.

c9fdc828ff vgchange autoactivation: skip regex filter containing symlinks
"vgchange -aay --autoactivation event" is called by our udev rule.
When the udev rule runs, symlinks for devices may not all be created
yet.  If the regex filter contains symlinks, it won't work correctly.
This command uses devices that already passed through pvscan.  Since
pvscan applies the regex filter correctly, this command inherits the
filtering from pvscan and can skip the regex filter itself.

See the previous commit
"pvscan: use alternate device names from DEVLINKS to check filter"

9048565093 devices: rework libudev usage
related to config settings:
  obtain_device_info_from_udev (controls if lvm gets
    a list of devices from readdir /dev or from libudev)
  external_device_info_source (controls if lvm asks
    libudev for device information)

. Make the obtain_device_list_from_udev setting
  affect only the choice of readdir /dev vs libudev.
  The setting no longer controls if udev is used for
  device type checks.

. Change obtain_device_list_from_udev default to 0.
  This helps avoid boot timeouts due to slow libudev
  queries, avoids reported failures from
  udev_enumerate_scan_devices, and avoids delays from
  "device not initialized in udev database" errors.
  Even without errors, for a system booting with 1024 PVs,
  lvm2-pvscan times improve from about 100 sec to 15 sec,
  and the pvscan command from about 64 sec to about 4 sec.

. For external_device_info_source="none", remove all
  libudev device info queries, and use only lvm
  native device info.

. For external_device_info_source="udev", first check
  lvm native device info, then check libudev info.

. Remove sleep/retry loop when attempting libudev
  queries for device info.  udev info will simply
  be skipped if it's not immediately available.

. Only set up a libdev connection if it will be used by
  obtain_device_list_from_udev/external_device_info_source.

. For native multipath component detection, use
  /etc/multipath/wwids.  If a device has a wwid
  matching an entry in the wwids file, then it's
  considered a multipath component.  This is
  necessary to natively detect multipath
  components when the mpath device is not set up.

83fe6e720f device usage based on devices file
The LVM devices file lists devices that lvm can use.  The default
file is /etc/lvm/devices/system.devices, and the lvmdevices(8)
command is used to add or remove device entries.  If the file
does not exist, or if lvm.conf includes use_devicesfile=0, then
lvm will not use a devices file.  When the devices file is in use,
the regex filter is not used, and the filter settings in lvm.conf
or on the command line are ignored.

LVM records devices in the devices file using hardware-specific
IDs, such as the WWID, and attempts to use subsystem-specific
IDs for virtual device types.  These device IDs are also written
in the VG metadata.  When no hardware or virtual ID is available,
lvm falls back using the unstable device name as the device ID.
When devnames are used, lvm performs extra scanning to find
devices if their devname changes, e.g. after reboot.

When proper device IDs are used, an lvm command will not look
at devices outside the devices file, but when devnames are used
as a fallback, lvm will scan devices outside the devices file
to locate PVs on renamed devices.  A config setting
search_for_devnames can be used to control the scanning for
renamed devname entries.

Related to the devices file, the new command option
--devices <devnames> allows a list of devices to be specified for
the command to use, overriding the devices file.  The listed
devices act as a sort of devices file in terms of limiting which
devices lvm will see and use.  Devices that are not listed will
appear to be missing to the lvm command.

Multiple devices files can be kept in /etc/lvm/devices, which
allows lvm to be used with different sets of devices, e.g.
system devices do not need to be exposed to a specific application,
and the application can use lvm on its own set of devices that are
not exposed to the system.  The option --devicesfile <filename> is
used to select the devices file to use with the command.  Without
the option set, the default system devices file is used.

Setting --devicesfile "" causes lvm to not use a devices file.

An existing, empty devices file means lvm will see no devices.

The new command vgimportdevices adds PVs from a VG to the devices
file and updates the VG metadata to include the device IDs.
vgimportdevices -a will import all VGs into the system devices file.

LVM commands run by dmeventd not use a devices file by default,
and will look at all devices on the system.  A devices file can
be created for dmeventd (/etc/lvm/devices/dmeventd.devices)  If
this file exists, lvm commands run by dmeventd will use it.

Internal implementaion:

- device_ids_read - read the devices file
  . add struct dev_use (du) to cmd->use_devices for each devices file entry
- dev_cache_scan - get /dev entries
  . add struct device (dev) to dev_cache for each device on the system
- device_ids_match - match devices file entries to /dev entries
  . match each du on cmd->use_devices to a dev in dev_cache, using device ID
  . on match, set du->dev, dev->id, dev->flags MATCHED_USE_ID
- label_scan - read lvm headers and metadata from devices
  . filters are applied, those that do not need data from the device
  . filter-deviceid skips devs without MATCHED_USE_ID, i.e.
    skips /dev entries that are not listed in the devices file
  . read lvm label from dev
  . filters are applied, those that use data from the device
  . read lvm metadata from dev
  . add info/vginfo structs for PVs/VGs (info is "lvmcache")
- device_ids_find_renamed_devs - handle devices with unstable devname ID
  where devname changed
  . this step only needed when devs do not have proper device IDs,
    and their dev names change, e.g. after reboot sdb becomes sdc.
  . detect incorrect match because PVID in the devices file entry
    does not match the PVID found when the device was read above
  . undo incorrect match between du and dev above
  . search system devices for new location of PVID
  . update devices file with new devnames for PVIDs on renamed devices
  . label_scan the renamed devs
- continue with command processing

bfcecbbce1 filter: add config setting to skip scanning LVs
devices/scan_lvs (default 1) determines whether lvm
will scan LVs for layered PVs.  The lvm behavior has
always been to scan LVs, but it's rare for LVs to have
layered PVs, and much more common for there to be many
LVs that substantially slow down scanning with no benefit.

This is implemented in the usable filter, and has the
same effect as listing all LVs in the global_filter.

57bb46c5e7 filter: use bcache for filter reads
Filters are still applied before any device reading or
the label scan, but any filter checks that want to read
the device are skipped and the device is flagged.

After bcache is populated, but before lvm looks for
devices (i.e. before label scan), the filters are
reapplied to the devices that were flagged above.
The filters will then find the data they need in
bcache.

1c7a509bed filters: add firmware RAID filter
Just like MD filtering that detects components of software RAID (md),
add detection for firmware RAID.

We're not adding any native code to detect this - there are lots of
firmware RAIDs out there which is just out of LVM scope. However,
with current changes with which we're able to get device info from
external sources (e.g. external_device_info_source="udev"), we can
do this easily if the external device status source has this kind
of information - which is the case of "udev" source where the results
of blkid scans are stored.

This detection should cover all firmware RAIDs that blkid can detect and
which are identified as:
  ID_FS_TYPE = {adaptec,ddf,hpt45x,hpt37x,isw,jmicron,lsi_mega,nvidia,promise_fasttrack,silicon_medley,via}_raid_member

c50a90c9e6 filter-composite: add external device info hooks
Composite filter is a filter that can put several filters in one set.
This patch adds a switch when creating the composite filter which will
enable or disable external device info handles for all the filters
the composite filter encompasses.

We want to use this external device info for majority of the filters
which are in the "lvmetad filter chain" (or the respective part if
we're not using lvmetad).

Following patches will use the enabled external device handle in
concrete filters from the composite filter...

8a843d0d97 filters: add "usable device" filter
Usable device filter is responsible for filtering out unusable DM devices.
The filter has 3 modes of operation:

  - FILTER_MODE_NO_LVMETAD:
    When this mode is used, we check DM device usability by looking:
      - whether device is empty
      - whether device is blocked
      - whether device is suspended (only on devices/ignore_suspended_devices=1)
      - whether device uses an error target
      - whether device name/uuid is reserved

  - FILTER_MODE_PRE_LVMETAD:
    When this mode is used, we check DM device usability by looking:
      - whether device is empty
      - whether device is suspended (only on devices/ignore_suspended_devices=1)
      - whether device uses an error target
      - whether device name/uuid is reserved

  - FILTER_MODE_POST_LVMETAD:
    When this mode is used, we check DM device usability by looking:
      - whether device is blocked
      - whether device is suspended (only on devices/ignore_suspended_devices=1)

These modes will be used by subsequent patch to create different
instances of this filter, depending on lvmetad use.

80bcdb93ff filters: check for mpath before opening devs
Split out the partitioned device filter that needs to open the device
and move the multipath filter in front of it.

When a device is multipathed, sending I/O to the underlying paths may
cause problems, the most obvious being I/O errors visible to lvm if a
path is down.

Revert the incorrect <backtrace> messages added when a device doesn't
pass a filter.

Log each filter initialisation to show sequence.

Avoid duplicate 'Using $device' debug messages.

c6f48b7c1a refactor: make device type recognition code common for general use
Changes:

- move device type registration out of "type filter" (filter.c)
to a separate and new dev-type.[ch] for common use throughout the code

- the structure for keeping the major numbers detected for available
device types and available partitioning available is stored in
"dev_types" structure now

- move common partitioning detection code to dev-type.[ch] as well
together with other device-related functions bound to dev_types
(see dev-type.h for the interface)

The dev-type interface contains all common functions used to detect
subsystems/device types, signature/superblock recognition code,
type-specific device properties and other common device properties
(bound to dev_types), including partitioning support.

- add dev_types instance to cmd context as cmd->dev_types for common use

- use cmd->dev_types throughout as a central point for providing
information about device types

07113beea3 Do not scan device if it is part of active multipath.
Add filter which tries to check if scanned device is part
of active multipath.

Firstly, only SCSI major number devices are handled in filter.

Then it checks if device has exactly one holder (in sysfs) and
if it is device-mapper device and DM-UUID is prefixed by "MPATH-".

If so, this device is filtered out.

The whole filter can be switched off by setting
mpath_component_detection in lvm.conf.

e59e2f7c3c Move the core of the lib/config/config.c functionality into libdevmapper,
leaving behind the LVM-specific parts of the code (convenience wrappers that
handle `struct device` and `struct cmd_context`, basically). A number of
functions have been renamed (in addition to getting a dm_ prefix) -- namely,
all of the config interface now has a dm_config_ prefix.

3d37e976bf Fix pvcreate on a partition (regressed in 2.02.51).
Eliminate busy loop during pvcreate of a "normal" partition.
_md_sysfs_attribute_snprintf() would busy loop if the device it was
given was not a blkext-based MD partition.

Rather than being cute with a busy-loop prone 'goto check_md_major' in
_md_sysfs_attribute_snprintf(): explicitly check if the provided device
is a blkext-based partition (blkext_major()); and then check that the
get_primary_dev() determined parent is an MD device (md_major()).

25b733809a Merge with text format branch.
Lots of changes/very little testing so far => there'll be bugs!

Use 'vgcreate -M text' to create a volume group with its metadata stored
in text files.  Text format metadata changes should be reasonably atomic,
with a (basic) automatic recovery mechanism if the system crashes while a
change is in progress.

Add a metadata section to lvm.conf to specify multiple directories if
you want (recommended) to keep multiple copies of the metadata (eg on
different filesystems).

e.g. metadata {
        dirs = ["/etc/lvm/metadata1","/usr/local/lvm/metadata2"]
}

Plenty of refinements still in the pipeline.
