b714c7ebc6 clvmd: validate open device state
If clvmd does not hold any lock, it should also not keep any opened
device.

The reason for this patch is, that refresh_toolcontext calls
dev_cache_exit() which destroys whole device cache (even those with
opened file) - previous patch added recovery path to avoid memory
corruption, but opened files are still bugs that need to be fixed.

So this patch certainly kills many internal mirror & raid tests,
since they leak opened file descriptors (when tests are executed
with 'abort_on_error').

b522312678 clvmd: hardening leak on exit
Operate with lvm_thread_exit while holding lvm_thread_mutex.
Don't leave unfinished work in the lvm thread queue
and always finish all queued tasks before exit,
so no cmd struct is left in the list.

bdd7baeab3 cmirrord: Clean-up stray warning message (attempt #2)
There are two types of CPG communications in a corosync cluster:
messages and state transitions.  Cmirrord processes the state
transitions first.

When a cluster mirror issues a POSTSUSPEND, it signals the end of
cluster communication with the rest of the nodes in the cluster.
The POSTSUSPEND marks the last communication of the 'message'
type that will go around the cluster.  The node then calls
cpg_leave which causes a final 'state transition' communication to
all of the nodes.  Once the out-going node receives its own state
transition notice from the cluster, it finalizes the leave.  At this
point, the state of the log is 'INVALID'; but it is possible that
there remains some cluster trafic that was queued up behind the
state transition that still wants to be processed.  It is harmless
to attempt to dispatch any remaining messages - they won't be
delivered because the node is no longer in the cluster.  However,
there was a warning message that was being printed in this case
that is now removed by this patch.  The failure of the dispatch
created a false positive condition that triggered the message.

2a9b62c7f9 dmeventd: remember number of log disablings
Individual events are handled through separate threads,
so once we have more then a single thread in this eventwait
sleeping, we got race on the dm_log setting, since
if one event is timeout out on alarm, while another is still waiting,
then dm log has been restored to NULL and the next sigalarm
has been reported as error.

Fix it by introducing counter which is protected via mutex,
and only when the last event is released, logging is restored.

TODO: libdm seems to have some static vars which may audit
for this type of use.

52aa3dbcab cmirrord: Clean-up stray warning message
cmirrord polls for messages on the kernel and cluster interfaces.
Sometimes it is possible for messages to be received on the cluster
interface and be waiting for processing while the node is in the
process of leaving the cluster group.  When this happens, the
messages received on the cluster interface are attempted to be
dispatched, but an error is returned because the connection is no
longer valid.  It is a harmless situation.  So, if we get the
specific error (CS_ERR_BAD_HANDLE) and we know that we have left
the group, then simply don't print the message.

8a8abc5ed9 dmeventd: fix dmeventd -R to work properly with systemd
Trying to restart dmeventd as a reload action is causing problems
under systemd environment. The systemd loses track of new dmeventd
this way. See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1060134
for more info.

We need to call dmeventd -R directly instead of "systemctl reload dm-event.service"
that was used before (the reload is aimed at configuration reload anyway,
not stateful restart of the daemon - we did this before just because
there's no ExecRestart in systemd and there's only ExecStart and
ExecStop with which we'd lose the state).

Also, use ExecStart="dmeventd -f" to run dmeventd in foreground
(and let's rely on systemd to daemonize it) and change the
service type from "forking" to "simple".

a65ab773b4 daemons: use PIE and RELRO compiler/linker options
The PIE and RELRO compiler/linker options can be used to produce a code
some techniques applied that makes the code more immune to some attacks:

  - PIE (Position Independent Executable). It can make use of the ASLR
    (Address Space Layout Randomization) provided by kernel to avoid
    static locations for .text regions of executables (this is the 'pie'
    compiler and linker option)

  - RELRO (Relocation Read-Only). This prevents overwrite attacks of
    the GOT (Global Offset Table) and PLT (Procedure Lookup Table)
    used for relocations by making it read-only after all relocations
    are resolved (these are the 'relro' and 'now' linker options) -
    hence all symbols are resolved at the very start so there's no
    need for those tables to be writeable later.

These compiler/linker options are now used by default for daemons
if the compiler/linker supports it.

before use.
On error, only remove lvmetad socket file if created by the same
process.  (Previous code removes socket even while a running instance

8d5cff5b9b lv/vgchange: do not try to connect to lvmetad if socket absent and --sysinit -aay used
If using lv/vgchange --sysinit -aay and lvmetad is enabled, we'd like to
avoid the direct activation and rely on autoactivation instead so
it fits system initialization scripts.

But if we're calling lv/vgchange --sysinit -aay too early when even
lvmetad service is not started yet, we just need to do the direct
activation instead without printing any error messages (while
trying to connect to lvmetad and not finding its socket).

This patch adds two helper functions - "lvmetad_socket_present" and
"lvmetad_used" which can be used to check for this condition properly
and avoid these lvmetad connections when the socket is not present
(and hence lvmetad is not yet running).

Failures in the temporary mirror used when up-converting cause dmeventd

expects to be given the name of the top-level LV.  So, just like we do
with mirrored logs, we strip-off the portion of the name that is not
the top-level LV and issue the command on the top-level LV instead.

but fairly enough for lvm2 use-case.

4c0db84948 clvmd: fix verify message rejection of REMOTE flag
This fixes a bug in commit 19baf842 where verify_message
was rejecting the CLVMD_FLAG_REMOTE flag.  It was missed
since the patch was ported from an lvm version where that
flag does not exist.

039bdad732 activation: flag temporary LVs internally
Add LV_TEMPORARY flag for LVs with limited existence during command
execution. Such LVs are temporary in way that they need to be activated,
some action done and then removed immediately. Such LVs are just like
any normal LV - the only difference is that they are removed during
LVM command execution. This is also the case for LVs representing
future pool metadata spare LVs which we need to initialize by using
the usual LV before they are declared as pool metadata spare.

We can optimize some other parts like udev to do a better job if
it knows that the LV is temporary and any processing on it is just
useless.

This flag is orthogonal to LV_NOSCAN flag introduced recently
as LV_NOSCAN flag is primarily used to mark an LV for the scanning
to be avoided before the zeroing of the device happens. The LV_TEMPORARY
flag makes a difference between a full-fledged LV visible in the system
and the LV just used as a temporary overlay for some action that needs to
be done on underlying PVs.

For example: lvcreate --thinpool POOL --zero n -L 1G vg

- first, the usual LV is created to do a clean up for pool metadata
  spare. The LV is activated, zeroed, deactivated.

- between "activated" and "zeroed" stage, the LV_NOSCAN flag is used
  to avoid any scanning in udev

- betwen "zeroed" and "deactivated" stage, we need to avoid the WATCH
  udev rule, but since the LV is just a usual LV, we can't make a
  difference. The LV_TEMPORARY internal LV flag helps here. If we
  create the LV with this flag, the DM_UDEV_DISABLE_DISK_RULES
  and DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES flag are set (just like as it is
  with "invisible" and non-top-level LVs) - udev is directed to
  skip WATCH rule use.

- if the LV_TEMPORARY flag was not used, there would normally be
  a WATCH event generated once the LV is closed after "zeroed"
  stage. This will make problems with immediated deactivation that
  follows.

ce7489ed22 activation: add support for flagging an LV to skip udev scanning during activation
A common scenario is during new LV creation when we need to wipe the
newly created LV and avoid any udev scanning before this stage otherwise
it could cause the device (the LV) to be claimed by some other subsystem
for which there were stale metadata within LV data.

This patch adds possibility to mark the LV we're just about to wipe with
a flag that gets passed to udev via DM_COOKIE as a subsystem specific
flag - DM_SUBSYSTEM_UDEV_FLAG0 (in this case the subsystem is "LVM")
so LVM udev rules will take care of handling that.
