For each section 8 man page, a .8_gen file is created from one of:
.8_main - Old-style man page - content used directly
.8_des and .8_end - Description and end section of a generated page
.8_pregen - Pre-generated page used if the generator fails
Other man sections are not generated and use the suffix .5_main or .7_main.
Developers should use 'make generate' to regenerate the .8_pregen files.
When a given command:
- matches command definition A based on required options,
but uses optional options that are not accepted by A.
- matches command definition B based on required options,
(but fewer required items than A), and uses no
unaccepted optional options.
then B is the correct choice. Command A would fail because
of the unaccepted optional options. The logic was mistakenly
letting A win because it had a greater number of required option
matches, without accounting for the optional option mismatches.
Systematically outline every combination of:
--type striped, --type mirror, --type raid, --mirrors, --stripes
and make sure each is assigned to one specific cmd def.
This revealed that a new command def is needed for
lvcreate that uses both --mirrors and --stripes
but no --type option.
The use of LVCREATE_RAID shortcut for an option set
resulted in mirrors/stripes being included in optional
opts set when they were already in the required list.
Sending %d as format argument in lvmetad_vg_remove_pending() will cause
segfaults in config_make_nodes_v() when va_arg() casts to int64_t. Also, it is
clearly advertised in the lvm source code that using plain %d is prohibited, so
let's switch to FMTd64.

Require that the path argument to dmfilemapd be an absolute path
and document this in tool output, libdevmapper.h and dmfilemapd.8.
The check is also enforced by dm_stats_start_filemapd() to avoid
forking a new process with an invalid path argument.
The initial check on argc incorrectly returns 1 when the wrong
number of arguments are present, causing a segfault in main()
when no arguments are given:
# dmfilemapd
Wrong number of arguments.
usage: dmfilemapd <fd> <group_id> <path> <mode> [<foreground>[<log_level>]]

Commit f4b30b0dae was about displaying visible LV size
when reshape space is allocated. Take parity devices
into account when displaying the user visible LV size.
As was recently done with relative signes for sizes/extents,
limit the signs used with the mirrors option, e.g.
lvcreate --mirrors now does not accept or advertise an
optional minus sign with the value. lvconvert --mirrors
accepts +|-.
Add a warning about maximum supported numbers of stripes
with striped LVs realtive to RAID conversions.
Add examples for a more elaborate, multi-step conversion
from linear to striped (and vice versa).
Shrink lvs examples output.

The LVCONVERT_RAID shortcut for including options ended
up including mirrors/stripes as optional opts in defs where
they were already required, or in defs where they would
not be used. Remove the option set and specify in each
case only the options wanted.
Better support for lvdisplay.
By default info about running (in kernel) cache status is printed.
To get 'segtype' info, user runs: 'lvdisplay -m', example:

OO_LVCREATE_CACHE accepts --cachemetadataformat.
Support new option --cachemetadataformat auto|1|2 for caching.
Word 'auto' can be also be given as '0'.
Report CMFmt column with cache metadata format version.
Report KMFmt column with 'kernel cache metadata format version' for device.
(a value reported from status).
(Update 'CacheMode' to name 'Cache' as primary segtype).
Only cache-pool segtype may store cache_metadata_format.
Only supported values are 0,1,2
Format 2 requires LV status uses LV_METADATA_FORMAT.
Format 0 (unselected) or 1 shall not set this 'incompatible' status.
Cache pool read/writes metadata_format within its segment type..
For CachePoolLV unselected metadata format is NOT stored in metadata.
For CacheLV when metadata format is not present/selected in lvm2 metadata,
it's automatically assumed to be the version 1 (backward compatible).
To ensure older lvm2 will not 'miss-read' metadata with new version 2,
such LV is marked with METADATA_FORMAT status flag (segment is
specifying metadata format). So when cache uses metadata format 2,
it will become inaccesible on older system without such support.
(kernel dm cache < 1.10, lvm2 < 2.02.169).
Add new profilable configation setting to let user select
which metadata format of a created cache pool he wish to use.
By default the 'best' available format is autodetected at runtime,
but user may enforce format 1 or 2 ATM.
Code also detects availability for metadata2 supporting cache target.
In case of troubles user may easily Disable usage of this feature
by placing 'metadata2' into global/cache_disabled_features list.
Older library version was not detecting unknown 'feature' bits
and could let start target without needed option.
New versioned symbol now checks for supported feature bits.
_Base version keeps accepting only previously known features and
mask/ignores unknown bits.
NB: if the older binary passed in 'random' bits, it will not get
metadata2 by chance. New linked binary get new validation function.
Library user is required to not pass 'trash' for unsupported bits,
as such calls will be rejected.
Dm cache target version 1.10 introduces new cache metadata format
(upstream kernel >=4.11).
New format is enable by passing new target feature flag metadata2.
Interace side on libdm uses DM_CACHE_FEATURE_METADATA2.
This feature bit is now also recognized on status
and set in 'feature_flags' field of dm_status_cache structure.
Code also adds check for 'highest' supported feature flag bit.
So it rejects properly any 'unknown' feature bit set by application.
Better code to enforce writethrough caching for cleaner policy.
Only check for cleaner when DM_CACHE_FEATURE_PASSTHROUGH or
DM_CACHE_FEATURE_WRITEBACK is set.
As now we can properly recognize all paramerters for pool creation,
we may drop PASS_ARG_ defines and rely on '_UNSELECTED' or 0 entries
as being those without user given args.
When setting are not given on command line - 'update' function
fill them from profiles or configuration. For this 'profile' arg
was needed to be passed around and since 'VG' itself is not needed,
it's been all replaced with 'cmd, profile, extents_size' args.
