Keep single source for most of values printed in lvm.conf
(still needs some conversion)
Correct max for logical threads to 60
(we may refuse some older configuration which might eventually
user higher numbers - but so far let's assume no user have ever set this
as it's been non-trivial and if would complicate code unnecessarily.)
Accept maximum of 4PiB for virtual size of VDO LV
(lvm2 will drop 'header borders to 0 for this case').
Allow to use --vdosettings with lvcreate,lvconvert,lvchange.
Support settings currenly only configurable via lvm.conf.
With lvchange we require inactivate LV for changes to be applied.
Settings block_map_era_length has supported alias block_map_period.
New API extension (internal ATM) for getting a list
of active DM device with extra features like i.e. uuid.
To easily lookout for existing UUID in device list,
there is: dm_device_list_find_by_uuid()
Once the returned structure is no longer usable call:
dm_device_list_destroy()
Struct dm_active_device {} holds all the info,
but is always allocated and destroyed within library.
TODO: once it's stable, copy to libdm
Existing mechanism was not able to trace root volume issue.
Simplify the functionality by using simply using activated flag
and trace the dtree in reverse order.
When generating table line for cache target line,
the estimation of added arguments was incorrectly
calculated as the evaluation order of "?" is

Use different 'hint' size for dm_hash_create() call - so
when debug info about hash is printed we can recognize which
hash was in use.
This patch doesn't change actual used size since that is always
rounded to be power of 2 and >=16 - so as such is only a
help to developer.
We could eventually use 'name' arg, but since this would have changed
API and this patchset will be routed to libdm & stable - we will
just use this small trick.
Initial support for thin-pool used slightly smaller max size 15.81GiB
for thin-pool metadata. However the real limit later settled at 15.88GiB
(difference is ~64MiB - 16448 4K blocks).
lvm2 could not simply increase the size as it has been using hard cropping
of the loaded metadata device to avoid warnings printing warning of kernel
when the size was bigger (i.e. due to bigger extent_size).
This patch adds the new lvm.conf configurable setting:
allocation/thin_pool_crop_metadata
which defaults to 0 -> no crop of metadata beyond 15.81GiB.
Only user with these sizes of metadata will be affected.
Without cropping lvm2 now limits metadata allocation size to 15.88GiB.
Any space beyond is currently not used by thin-pool target.
Even if i.e. bigger LV is used for metadata via lvconvert,
or allocated bigger because of to large extent size.
With cropping enabled (=1) lvm2 preserves the old limitation
15.81GiB and should allow to work in the evironement with
older lvm2 tools (i.e. older distribution).
Thin-pool metadata with size bigger then 15.81G is now using CROP_METADATA
flag within lvm2 metadata, so older lvm2 recognizes an
incompatible thin-pool and cannot activate such pool!
Users should use uncropped version as it is not suffering
from various issues between thin_repair results and allocated
metadata LV as thin_repair limit is 15.88GiB
Users should use cropping only when really needed!
Patch also better handles resize of thin-pool metadata and prevents resize
beoyond usable size 15.88GiB. Resize beyond 15.81GiB automatically
switches pool to no-crop version. Even with existing bigger thin-pool
metadata command 'lvextend -l+1 vg/pool_tmeta' does the change.
Patch gives better controls 'coverted' metadata LV and
reports less confusing message during conversion.
Patch set also moves the code for updating min/max into pool_manip.c
for better sharing with cache_pool code.
Check that type is always defined, if not make it explicit internal
error (although logged as debug - so catched only with proper lvm.conf
setting).
This ensures later type being NULL can't be dereferenced with coredump.
DM tree keeps track of created device while preloading a device tree.
When fail occures during such preload, it will now try to remove
all created and preloaded device. This makes it easier to maintain
stacking of device, since we do not need to check in-depth for
existance of all possible created devices during the failure.
Switch remaining zero sized struct to flexible arrays to be C99
complient.
These simple rules should apply:
- The incomplete array type must be the last element within the structure.
- There cannot be an array of structures that contain a flexible array member.
- Structures that contain a flexible array member cannot be used as a member of another structure.
- The structure must contain at least one named member in addition to the flexible array member.
Although some of the code pieces should be still improved.
dm-integrity stores checksums of the data written to an
LV, and returns an error if data read from the LV does
not match the previously saved checksum. When used on
raid images, dm-raid will correct the error by reading
the block from another image, and the device user sees
no error. The integrity metadata (checksums) are stored
on an internal LV allocated by lvm for each linear image.
The internal LV is allocated on the same PV as the image.
Create a raid LV with an integrity layer over each
raid image (for raid levels 1,4,5,6,10):
lvcreate --type raidN --raidintegrity y [options]
Add an integrity layer to images of an existing raid LV:
lvconvert --raidintegrity y LV
Remove the integrity layer from images of a raid LV:
lvconvert --raidintegrity n LV
Settings
Use --raidintegritymode journal|bitmap (journal is default)
to configure the method used by dm-integrity to ensure
crash consistency.
Initialization
When integrity is added to an LV, the kernel needs to
initialize the integrity metadata/checksums for all blocks
in the LV. The data corruption checking performed by
dm-integrity will only operate on areas of the LV that
are already initialized. The progress of integrity
initialization is reported by the "syncpercent" LV
reporting field (and under the Cpy%Sync lvs column.)
Example: create a raid1 LV with integrity:
$ lvcreate --type raid1 -m1 --raidintegrity y -n rr -L1G foo
Creating integrity metadata LV rr_rimage_0_imeta with size 12.00 MiB.
Logical volume "rr_rimage_0_imeta" created.
Creating integrity metadata LV rr_rimage_1_imeta with size 12.00 MiB.
Logical volume "rr_rimage_1_imeta" created.
Logical volume "rr" created.

reporting fields (-o) directly from kernel:
writecache_total_blocks
writecache_free_blocks
writecache_writeback_blocks
writecache_error
The data_percent field shows used cache blocks / total cache blocks.
