88cef47b18 vg_read: look up vgid from name
After recent changes to process_each, vg_read() is usually
given both the vgname and vgid for the intended VG.

However, in some cases vg_read() is given a vgid with
no vgname, or is given a vgname with no vgid.

When given a vgid with no vgname, vg_read() uses lvmcache
to look up the vgname using the vgid.  If the vgname is
not found, vg_read() fails.

When given a vgname with no vgid, vg_read() should also
use lvmcache to look up the vgid using the vgname.
If the vgid is not found, vg_read() fails.

If the lvmcache lookup finds multiple vgids for the
vgname, then the lookup fails, causing vg_read() to fail
because the intended VG is uncertain.

Usually, both vgname and vgid for the intended VG are passed
to vg_read(), which means the lvmcache translations
between vgname and vgid are not done.

6d6c233768 cleanup: move towards using direct LV pointers
We do not won't to 'expose'  internals of VG struct.
ATM we use lists to keep all LVs - we may want to switch
to better struct for quicker 'search'.

Since we do not need 'lists' but always actual LV,
switch find_lv_in_vg_by_lvid() to return LV,
and replaces some use case of  find_lv_in_vg()
with 'better' working find_lv() which already
returns LV.

16780f6faa vg_read: skip repair and wipe for foreign and shared VGs
When reading a foreign VG we cannot write it, since
it belongs to another host.  When reading a shared VG
we cannot write it because we may not have an ex lock.
(Or we may be reading the shared VG while not using
lvmlockd in which case it's like reading a foreign VG.)

Add the same checks for wiping outdated PVs.  We may
read a foreign or shared VG, or see the PVs, while
another host is part way through writing a new version
of the VG to the PVs.  This might cause us to think
some of the PVs are outdated.  We do not want to
write another host's PVs, especially when we may
wrongly conclude they are outdated.

full it's still allowed to use it (dmeventd will not
resize it).

1a74171ca5 vg_read: sometimes ignore read errors
Running "vgremove -f VG & pvs" results in the pvs
command reporting that the VG is not found or is
inconsistent.  If the VG is gone or being removed,
the pvs command should just skip it and not print
errors about it.

"Not found" is because the pvs command created the
list of VGs to process, including VG, then vgremove
removed the VG, then the pvs command came to to read
the VG to process it and did not find it.

An "inconsistent" error could be reported if vgremove
had only partially completed removing VG when pvs did
vg_read on the VG to process it, causing pvs to find
the VG in a partially-removed state.

This fix adds a flag that pvs uses to ignore a VG
that can't be read or is inconsistent.

8b965bd3d5 pvremove: make sure even invalid info is removed from lvmcache on pvremove
The lvmcache info might be resued, most notably in lvm shell.
We need to be sure that even lvmcache_info marked as invalid
is removed from the lvmcache so it does not confuse any subsequent
code/commands executed later on.

Problematic example with the lvm shell:

lvm> pvs
  PV         VG   Fmt  Attr PSize   PFree
  /dev/sda        lvm2 ---  128.00m 128.00m

Before this patch (/dev/sda still displayed in a way):
======================================================

lvm> pvremove /dev/sda
  Labels on physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully wiped

(without lvmetad)
lvm> pvs
  No physical volume label read from /dev/sda

(with lvmetad)
lvm> pvs
  PV         VG   Fmt  Attr PSize   PFree
  /dev/sda        lvm2 ---  128.00m 128.00m

With this patch applied:
========================

lvm> pvremove /dev/sda

2ce8ee0214 vgcreate: initialize new PVs only in first vg_write
When a command does a sequence of
vg_write + vg_commit + vg_write + vg_commit,

initialization of non-PV devices happens during the
first vg_write, and does not need to be repeated by
the second vg_write.

When creating a lockd VG, this sequence occurs because
the VG is first created, then the lockd data is created,
then the lockd data is then written to the VG metadata.

to  _corigin LV and cache is no longer a raid.

79ea81b8a8 thin: restore transaction_id handling
Revert back to already existing behavior which has been slightly
modified by a900d150e4.

At the end however it seem to be equal to change TID right with first
metadata write.

Existing code missed handling for 'unused' thin-pool which would
require to also check empty message list for TID==0.

So with the fix we now again preserve 'active' thin-pool volume
when first thin volume is created - this property was lost and caused
problems in cluster, where the lock was hold, but volume was no longer
active on the node.

Another missing part was the proper support for already increased,
but unfinished TID change.

So going back here with existing logic -

TID is increased with first MDA update.

Code allows start with either same TID or (TID-1).

If there are messages, TID must be lower by 1 for sending,
otherwise messages were already posted.

b4be988732 vgchange/lvchange: enforce the shared VG lock from lvmlockd
The vgchange/lvchange activation commands read the VG, and
don't write it, so they acquire a shared VG lock from lvmlockd.
When other commands fail to acquire a shared VG lock from
lvmlockd, a warning is printed and they continue without it.
(Without it, the VG metadata they display from lvmetad may
not be up to date.)

vgchange/lvchange -a shouldn't continue without the shared
lock for a couple reasons:

. Usually they will just continue on and fail to acquire the
  LV locks for activation, so continuing is pointless.

. More importantly, without the sh VG lock, the VG metadata
  used by the command may be stale, and the LV locks shown
  in the VG metadata may no longer be current.  In the
  case of sanlock, this would result in odd, unpredictable
  errors when lvmlockd doesn't find the expected lock on
  disk.  In the case of dlm, the invalid LV lock could be
  granted for the non-existing LV.

The solution is to not continue after the shared lock fails,
in the same way that a command fails if an exclusive lock fails.

b93b85378d alloc: Fix lvextend failure when varying stripes.
A segfault was reported when extending an LV with a smaller number of
stripes than originally used.  Under unusual circumstances, the cling
detection code could successfully find a match against the excess
stripe positions and think it had finished prematurely leading to an
allocation being pursued with a length of zero.

Rename ix_offset to num_positional_areas and move it to struct
alloc_state so that _is_condition() can obtain access to it.

In _is_condition(), areas_size can no longer be assumed to match the
number of positional slots being filled so check this newly-exposed
num_positional_areas directly instead.  If the slot is outside the
range we are trying to fill, just ignore the match for now.

681f779a3c lockd: fix error message after a failing to get lock
There are two different failure conditions detected in
access_vg_lock_type() that should have different error
messages.  This adds another failure flag so the two
cases can be distinguished to avoid printing a misleading
error message.

a900d150e4 thin: move pool messaging from resume to suspend
Existing messaging intarface for thin-pool has a few 'weak' points:

* Message were posted with each 'resume' operation, thus not allowing
activation of thin-pool with the existing state.

* Acceleration skipped suspend step has not worked in cluster,
since clvmd resumes only nodes which are suspended (have proper lock
state).

* Resume may fail and code is not really designed to 'fail' in this
phase (generic rule here is resume DOES NOT fail unless something serious
is wrong and lvm2 tool usually doesn't handle recovery path in this case.)

* Full thin-pool suspend happened, when taken a thin-volume snapshot.

With this patch the new method relocates message passing into suspend
state.

This has a few drawbacks with current API, but overal it performs
better and gives are more posibilities to deal with errors.

Patch introduces a new logic for 'origin-only' suspend of thin-pool and
this also relates to thin-volume when taking snapshot.

When suspend_origin_only operation is invoked on a pool with
queued messages then only those messages are posted to thin-pool and
actual suspend of thin pool and data and metadata volume is skipped.

This makes taking a snapshot of thin-volume lighter operation and
avoids blocking of other unrelated active thin volumes.

Also fail now happens in 'suspend' state where the 'Fail' is more expected
and it is better handled through error paths.

Activation of thin-pool is now not sending any message and leaves upto a tool
to decided later how to finish unfinished double-commit transaction.

Problem which needs some API improvements relates to the lvm2 tree
construction. For the suspend tree we do not add target table line
into the tree, but only a device is inserted into a tree.
Current mechanism to attach messages for thin-pool requires the libdm
to know about thin-pool target, so lvm2 currently takes assumption, node
is really a thin-pool and fills in the table line for this node (which
should be ensured by the PRELOAD phase, but it's a misuse of internal API)
we would possibly need to be able to attach message to 'any' node.

Other thing to notice - current messaging interface in thin-pool
target requires to suspend thin volume origin first and then send
a create message, but this could not have any 'nice' solution on lvm2
side and IMHO we should introduce something like 'create_after_resume'
message.

Patch also changes the moment, where lvm2 transaction id is increased.
Now it happens only after successful finish of kernel transaction id
change. This change was needed to handle properly activation of pool,
which is in the middle of unfinished transaction, and also this corrects
usage of thin-pool by external apps like Docker.
