b359b86f88 allocation: improve approx alloc with resize
Start to convert percentage size handling in lvresize to the new
standard.  Note in the man pages that this code is incomplete.
Fix a regression in non-percentage allocation in my last check in.

This is what I am aiming for:

-l<extents>
-l<percent> LV/ORIGIN
	sets or changes the LV size based on the specified quantity
	of logical logical extents (that might be backed by
	a higher number of physical extents)

-l<percent> PVS/VG/FREE
	sets or changes the LV size so as to allocate or free the
	desired quantity of physical extents (that might amount to a
	lower number of logical extents for the LV concerned)

-l+50%FREE - Use up half the remaining free space in the VG when
	carrying out this operation.

-l50%VG - After this operation, this LV should be using up half the
	space in the VG.

-l200%LV - Double the logical size of this LV.

-l+100%LV - Double the logical size of this LV.

-l-50%LV - Reduce the logical size of this LV by half.

6a00a7e33d RAID: Allow implicit stripe (and parity) when creating RAID LVs
There are typically 2 functions for the more advanced segment types that
deal with parameters in lvcreate.c: _get_*_params() and _check_*_params().
(Not all segment types name their functions according to this scheme.)
The former function is responsible for reading parameters before the VG
has been read.  The latter is for sanity checking and possibly setting
parameters after the VG has been read.

This patch adds a _check_raid_parameters() function that will determine
if the user has specified 'stripe' or 'mirror' parameters.  If not, the
proper number is computed from the list of PVs the user has supplied or
the number that are available in the VG.  Now that _check_raid_parameters()
is available, we move the check for proper number of stripes from
_get_* to _check_*.

This gives the user the ability to create RAID LVs as follows:
# 5-device RAID5, 4-data, 1-parity (i.e. implicit '-i 4')
~> lvcreate --type raid5 -L 100G -n lv vg /dev/sd[abcde]1

# 5-device RAID6, 3-data, 2-parity (i.e. implicit '-i 3')
~> lvcreate --type raid6 -L 100G -n lv vg /dev/sd[abcde]1

# If 5 PVs in VG, 4-data, 1-parity RAID5
~> lvcreate --type raid5 -L 100G -n lv vg

Considerations:
This patch only affects RAID.  It might also be useful to apply this to
the 'stripe' segment type.  LVM RAID may include RAID0 at some point in
the future and the implicit stripes would apply there.  It would be odd
to have RAID0 be able to auto-determine the stripe count while 'stripe'
could not.

The only draw-back of this patch that I can see is that there might be
less error checking.  Rather than informing the user that they forgot
to supply an argument (e.g. '-i'), the value would be computed and it
may differ from what the user actually wanted.  I don't see this as a
problem, because the user can check the device count after creation
and remove the LV if they have made an error.

I've added an "Advanced Logical Volume Types" section that I hope
to contain information on the logical volume types that may use

84394c0219 lvmetad: extend socket/pid file handling
Make it easier to run a live lvmetad in debugging mode and
to avoid conflicts if multiple test instances need to be run
alongside a live one.

No longer require -s when -f is used: use built-in default.
Add -p to lvmetad to specify the pid file.
No longer disable pidfile if -f used to run in foreground.
If specified socket file appears to be genuine but stale, remove 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
is using it!)

0a48137d39 pvscan: use major:minor as short form of --major and --minor arg for pvscan --cache
Before, pvscan recognized either:
  pvscan --cache --major <major> --minor <minor>
or
  pvscan --cache <DevicePath>

When the device is gone and we need to notify lvmetad about device
removal, only --major/--minor works as we can't translate DevicePath
into major/minor pair anymore. The device does not exist in the system
and we don't keep DevicePath index in lvmetad cache to make the
translation internally into original major/minor pair. It would be
useless to keep this index just for this one exact case.

There's nothing bad about using "--major <major> --minor <minor>",
but it makes our life a bit harder when trying to make an
interconnection with systemd units, mainly with instantiated services
where only one and only one arg can be passed (which is encoded in the
service name).

This patch tries to make this easier by adding support for recognizing
the "<major>:<minor>" as a shortcut for the longer form
"--major <major> --minor <minor>". The rule here is simple: if the argument
starts with "/", it's a DevicePath, otherwise it's a <major>:<minor> pair.

008c33a21b tools: add -b/--background for pvscan --cache -aay
Udev daemon has recently introduced a limit on the number of udev
processes (there was no limit before). This causes a problem
when calling pvscan --cache -aay in lvmetad udev rules which
is supposed to activate the volumes. This activation is itself
synced with udev and so it waits for the activation to complete
before the pvscan finishes. The event processing can't continue
until this pvscan call is finished.

But if we're at the limit with the udev process count, we can't
instatiate any more udev processes, all such events are queued
and so we can't process the lvm activation event for which the
pvscan is waiting.

Then we're in a deadlock since the udev process with the
pvscan --cache -aay call waits for the lvm activation udev
processing to complete, but that will never happen as there's
this limit hit with the number of udev processes.

The process with pvscan --cache -aay actually times out eventually
(3min or 30sec, depends on the version of udev).

This patch makes it possible to run the pvscan --cache -aay
in the background so the udev processing can continue and hence
we can avoid the deadlock mentioned above.

c59167ec13 pvmove: Add support for RAID, mirror, and thin
This patch allows pvmove to operate on RAID, mirror and thin LVs.
The key component is the ability to avoid moving a RAID or mirror
sub-LV onto a PV that already has another RAID sub-LV on it.
(e.g. Avoid placing both images of a RAID1 LV on the same PV.)

Top-level LVs are processed to determine which PVs to avoid for
the sake of redundancy, while bottom-level LVs are processed
to determine which segments/extents to move.

This approach does have some drawbacks.  By eliminating whole PVs
from the allocation list, we might miss the opportunity to perform
pvmove in some senarios.  For example, if we have 3 devices and
a linear uses half of the first, a RAID1 uses half of the first and
half of the second, and a linear uses half of the third (FIGURE 1);
we should be able to pvmove the first device (FIGURE 2).
	FIGURE 1:
        [ linear ] [ -RAID- ] [ linear ]
        [ -RAID- ] [        ] [        ]

	FIGURE 2:
        [  moved ] [ -RAID- ] [ linear ]
        [  moved ] [ linear ] [ -RAID- ]
However, the approach we are using would eliminate the second
device from consideration and would leave us with too little space
for allocation.  In these situations, the user does have the ability
to specify LVs and move them one at a time.

a854398764 blkdeactivate: change the way blkdeactivate reports status
The blkdeactivate now suppresses error messages from external
tools that are called. Instead, only a summary message "done"
or "skipped" is issued by blkdeactivate as any error in calling
the external tool (e.g. unmounting or deactivating a device) causes
the device to be skipped and the blkdeactivate continues with the
next device in the tree.

Add new -e/--errors switch to display any error messages from
external tools.

Also, suppress any output given by the external tools and add
new -v/--verbose switch to display it including the verbose
output of the tools called (this will enable error reporting
as well).

Also add blkdeactivate -vv for even more debug (the script's debug).
