If a single, standard LV is specified as the cache, use
it directly instead of converting it into a cache-pool
object with two separate LVs (for data and metadata).
With a single LV as the cache, lvm will use blocks at the
beginning for metadata, and the rest for data. Separate
dm linear devices are set up to point at the metadata and
data areas of the LV. These dm devs are given to the
dm-cache target to use.
The single LV cache cannot be resized without recreating it.
If the --poolmetadata option is used to specify an LV for
metadata, then a cache pool will be created (with separate
LVs for data and metadata.)

lvm uses a bcache block size of 128K. A bcache block
at the end of the metadata area will overlap the PEs
from which LVs are allocated. How much depends on
alignments. When lvm reads and writes one of these
bcache blocks to update VG metadata, it can also be
reading and writing PEs that belong to an LV.
If these overlapping PEs are being written to by the
LV user (e.g. filesystem) at the same time that lvm
is modifying VG metadata in the overlapping bcache
block, then the user's updates to the PEs can be lost.
This patch is a quick hack to prevent lvm from writing
past the end of the metadata area.
This reverts commit 16ae968d24.
We need to come up with a better fix, because we fall short
wiping all known signatures when not using the wipe_lv API.
lvm metadata writes, commits and activations are performed
for (newly) allocated RAID metadata SubLVs to wipe any preexisiting
data thus avoid false raid superblock positives on RaidLV activation.
This process can be interrupted by command or system crashs
thus leaving stale SubLVs in the lvm metadata as a problem.
Because we hold an exclusive lock in this metadata SubLV wiping
process, we can address this problem by avoiding aforementioned
commits/writes/activations altogether wiping the respective first
sector of the first physical extent allocated to any metadata SubLV
directly via the existing dev_set() API.
Succeeds all LVM RAID tests.

Allow "lvconvert --type linear RaidLV" on a raid4 LV
providing convenient interim steps to convert to linear.
Add respective new test
lvconvert-raid-takeover-raid4_to_linear.sh
and
lvconvert-raid-takeover-linear_to_raid4.sh
for linear to raid4 once on it.
When converting from striped/raid0/raid0_meta
to raid6 with > 2 stripes, allow possible
direct conversion (to raid6_n_6).
In case of 2 stripes, first convert to raid5_n to restripe
to at least 3 data stripes (the raid6 minimum in lvm2) in
a second conversion before finally converting to raid6_n_6.
As before, raid6_n_6 then can be converted
to any other raid6 layout.
Enhance lvconvert-raid-takeover.sh to test the
2 stripes conversions to raid6.
Resolves: rhbz1624038
"lvconvert --type linear RaidLV" on striped and raid4/5/6/10
have to provide the convenient interim layouts. Fix involves
a cleanup to the convenience type function.
As a result of testing, add missing sync waits to
lvconvert-raid-reshape-linear_to_raid6-single-type.sh.
Resolves: rhbz1447809
Conversion to striped from raid0/raid0_meta is directly possible.
Fix a regression setting superfluous interim raid5_n conversion type
introduced by commit bd7cdd0b09.
Add new test script lvconvert-raid0-striped.sh.

With improved mirror activation code --splitmirror issue poppedup
since there was missing proper preload code and deactivation
for splitted mirror leg.
Native disk scanning is now both reduced and
async/parallel, which makes it comparable in
performance (and often faster) when compared
to lvm using lvmetad.
Autoactivation now uses local temp files to record
online PVs, and no longer requires lvmetad.
There should be no apparent command-level change
in behavior.
Support vgchange usage with VDO segtype.
Also changing extent size need small update for vdo virtual extent.
TODO: API needs enhancements so it's not about adding ifs() everywhere.
When user create vdo-pool - use different automatic name.
So unlike with traditional LVs using lvol0, lvol1
use vpool0, vpool1...
TODO: apply similar for thin-pool & cache-pool...
When allocating thin-pool with more then 1 device - try to
allocate 'metadataLV' with reuse of log-type allocation for mirror LV.
It should be naturally place on other device then 'dataLV'.
However due to somewhat hard to follow allocation logic code,
it's been rejected allocation in cases where there was not
enough space for data or metadata on single PV, thus to successed,
usage of segments was mandatory.
While user may use:
allocation/thin_pool_metadata_require_separate_pvs=1
to enforce separe meta and data LV - on default settings, this is not
enable thus segment allocation is meant to work.
NOTE:
As already said - the original intention of this whole 'if()' is unclear,
so try to split this test into multiple more simple tests that are more readable.
TODO: more validation.
Allow creation of any virtual segment type with just --virtualsize
specified without any real extent size give.
TODO: likely --type error,zero might be later enhanced to use -V
(along with -L) - but since those targets do not allocate real
space, supporting -V makes sense with them.
It's no longer needed. Clustered VGs are now handled in
the same way as foreign VGs, and as shared VGs that
can't be accessed:
- A command processing all VGs sees a clustered VG,
prints a message ("Skipping clustered VG foo."),
skips it, and does not fail.
- A command where the clustered VG is explicitly
named on the command line, prints a message and fails.
"Cannot access clustered VG foo, see lvmlockd(8)."
The option is listed in the set of ignored options for
the commands that previously accepted it. (Removing it
entirely would cause commands/scripts to fail if they
set it.)
The previous method for forcibly changing a clustered VG
to a local VG involved using -cn and locking_type 0.
Since those options are deprecated, replace it with
the same command used for other forced lock type changes:
vgchange --locktype none --lockopt force.
