Make it possible to define format for time that is displayed.
The way the format is defined is equal to the way that is used
for strftime function, although not all formatting options as
used in strftime are available for LVM2 - the set is restricted
(e.g. we do not allow newline to be printed). The lvm.conf
comments contain the whole list that LVM2 accepts for time format
together with brief description (copied from strftime man page).
For example:
(defaults used - the format is the same as used before this patch)
$ lvs -o+time vg/lvol0 vg/lvol1
LV VG Attr LSize Time
lvol0 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m 2015-06-25 16:18:34 +0200
lvol1 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m 2015-06-29 09:17:11 +0200
(using 'time_format = "@%s"' in lvm.conf - number of seconds
since the Epoch)
$ lvs -o+time vg/lvol0 vg/lvol1
LV VG Attr LSize Time
lvol0 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m @1435241914
lvol1 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m @1435562231
Do not display settings with undefined default values, but do display
these settings in case the value is defined directly in any part of
the existing config cascade.
For example, the lvmconfig --type current always displays these settings
(as it's somewhere in "current" configuration cascade that makes it defined).
The lvmconfig --type full displays these settings only if it's defined
somewhere in the cascade, but not if default value is used instead
The lvmconfig --type default never displays these settings...
More concrete example - let's have activation/volume_list directly
set in lvm.conf and activation/read_only_volume_list not set.
Both of these settings have *undefined default* values.
$lvmconfig --type full activation/volume_list activation/read_only_volume_list
volume_list="/dev/vg/lv"
(...only volume_list is defined, hence it's printed)
However, the comments will display more info (see also previous commit):
$lvmconfig --type full activation/volume_list activation/read_only_volume_list --withsummary
# Configuration option activation/volume_list.
# Only LVs selected by this list are activated.
# This configuration option does not have a default value defined.
# Value defined in existing configuration has been used for this setting.
volume_list="/dev/vg/lv"
# Configuration option activation/read_only_volume_list.
# LVs in this list are activated in read-only mode.
# This configuration option does not have a default value defined.
Display comment abour value from existing config being used. For example:
$ lvmconfig --type full --withsummary report/compact_output report/buffered
# Configuration option report/compact_output.
# Do not print empty report fields.
# Value defined in existing configuration has been used for this setting.
compact_output=1
# Configuration option report/buffered.
# Buffer report output.
buffered=1
The lvmconfig --type full is actually a combination of --type current
and --type missing together with --mergedconfig options used.
The overall outcome is a configuration tree with settings as LVM sees
it when it looks for the values - that means, if the setting is defined
in some config source (lvm.conf, --config, lvmlocal.conf or any profile
that is used), the setting is used. Otherwise, if the setting is not
defined in any part of the config cascade, the defaults are used.
The --type full displays exactly this final tree with all the values
defined, either coming from configuration tree or from defaults.
We shouldn't be adding spaces by default in output as that
may be be used already in scripts and especially for the eval
in shell scripts where spaces are not allowed between key
and value!
Add --withspaces option to lvmconfig for pretty output with
more space in for readability.
It's not an error to define empty values for
{thin,cache}_{check,repair}_options - such empty value means no
options are passed when these external commands are called.
If blkid wiping is possible, than set use_blkid_wiping=1 and
use_blkid_wiping=0 otherwise for its default value. If blkid wiping
is disabled during configure and use_blkid_wiping=1 is set by chance,
it's simply ignored - this patch is just a cleanup that makes it more
obvious for the user (we use similar logic for use_lvmetad and
use_lvmpolld settings).
Default value for lvmetad and lvmpolld has hooks in configure script,
the "lvmconfig --type default --unconfigured" should display:
use_lvmetad = @DEFAULT_USE_LVMETAD@
use_lvmpolld = @DEFAULT_USE_LVMPOLLD@
Note that these settings are not of string type. Recent change (the
DM_CONFIG_VALUE_FMT_STRING_NO_QUOTES formatting flag) makes it
possible to recognize that the setting is not of string type and if
there's unconfigured value defined for it, the enclosing " " is
automatically removed on output.
Do not use "#S" (blank string) as default value as that ends up with
'key = [ "" ]' to be generated which is not what we want in most cases.
Also, fix default values for global/{thin,cache}_{check,repair}_options
and avoid assigning blank values. For example, the thin_check_options
had this set as default value previously:
"#S" DEFAULT_THIN_CHECK_OPTION1 "#S" DEFAULT_THIN_CHECK_OPTION2
If any (or both) of DEFAULT_THIN_CHECK_OPTION* variables was set
to "", we ended up with clumsy default value generated like:
thin_check_options = [ "-q", "" ]
With this patch, we end up with correct:
thin_check_options = [ "-q" ]
or, if all options are undefined:
thin_check_options = [ ]
Which is the correct way to express this.
There are two basic groups of formatting flags (32 bits):
- common ones applicable for all config value types (lower 16 bits)
- type-related formatting flags (higher 16 bits)
With this patch, we initially support four new flags that
modify the the way the config value is displayed:
Common flags:
=============
DM_CONFIG_VALUE_FMT_COMMON_ARRAY - causes array config values
to be enclosed in "[ ]" even if there's only one item
(previously, there was no way to recognize an array with one
item and scalar value, hence array values with one member
were always displayed without "[ ]" which libdm accepted
when reading, but it may have been misleading for users)
DM_CONFIG_VALUE_FMT_COMMON_EXTRA_SPACE - causes extra spaces to
be inserted in "key = value" (or key = [ value, value, ... ] in
case of arrays), compared to "key=value" seen on output before.
This makes the output more readable for users.
Type-related flags:
===================
DM_CONFIG_VALUE_FMT_INT_OCTAL - prints integers in octal form with
"0" as a prefix (libdm's config reading code can handle this via
strtol just fine so it's properly recognized as number in octal
form already if there's "0" used as prefix)
DM_CONFIG_VALUE_FMT_STRING_NO_QUOTES - makes it possible to print
strings without enclosing " "
This patch also adds dm_config_value_set_format_flags and
dm_config_value_get_format_flags functions to set and get
these formatting flags.
This patch fixes segfault which was caused by incorrectly marking some
settings CFG_DEFAULT_COMMENTED instead of CFG_DEFAULT_UNDEFINED - the
ones which have NULL default value, hence they're really undefined.
A regression caused by a98ceceb1d.
For example:
$ lvmconfig log/file
file="/a"
Before this patch:
$ lvmconfig --type diff
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
With this patch applied:
$ lvmconfig --type diff
log {
file="/a"
}
The same applies for these settings:
log/activate_file
global/library_dir
global/system_id_file
<disk_area>/disk_area_id
There were also other settings with NULL default value and marked as
CFG_DEFAULT_COMMENTED instead of CFG_DEFAULT_UNDEFINED, but they were
cfg_array config settings where the NULL value was not causing segfault
(NULL == empty array).
Use CFG_DEFAULT_COMMENTED and CFG_DEFAULT_UNDEFINED to
replicate the existing comments in example.conf.
Fix host_list to be cfg_array.
UNDEFINED is only used if the value depends on other
system/kernel values outside of lvm. The most common
case is when dm-thin or dm-cache have built-in default
settings in the kernel, and lvm will use those built-in
default values unless the corresponding lvm config setting
is set.
COMMENTED is used to comment out the default setting in
lvm.conf. The effect is that if the LVM version is
upgraded, and the new version of LVM has new built-in
default values, the new defaults are used by LVM unless
the previous default value was set (uncommented) in lvm.conf.
Configure provides proper settings for
use_lvmetad and use_lvmpolld conf setttings.
When the build of polld & lvmetad, these settings
are enabled by default unless explicitelly disabled
with --disable-use-lvmetad/--disable-use-lvmpolld.
This patch adds supporting code for handling deprecated settings.
Deprecated settings are not displayed by default in lvmconfig output
(except for --type current and --type diff). There's a new
"--showdeprecated" lvmconfig option to display them if needed.
Also, when using lvmconfig --withcomments, the comments with info
about deprecation are displayed for deprecated settings and with
lvmconfig --withversions, the version in which the setting was
deprecated is displayed in addition to the version of introduction.
If using --atversion with a version that is lower than the one
in which the setting was deprecated, the setting is then considered
as not deprecated (simply because at that version it was not
deprecated).
For example:
$ lvmconfig --type default activation
activation {
...
raid_region_size=512
...
}
$ lvmconfig --type default activation --showdeprecated
activation {
...
mirror_region_size=512
raid_region_size=512
...
}
$ lvmconfig --type default activation --showdeprecated --withversions
activation {
...
# Available since version 1.0.0.
# Deprecated since version 2.2.99.
mirror_region_size=512
# Available since version 2.2.99.
raid_region_size=512
...
}
$ lvmconfig --type default activation --showdeprecated --withcomments
activation {
...
# Configuration option activation/mirror_region_size.
# This has been replaced by the activation/raid_region_size
# setting.
# Size (in KB) of each copy operation when mirroring.
# This configuration option is deprecated.
mirror_region_size=512
# Configuration option activation/raid_region_size.
# Size in KiB of each raid or mirror synchronization region.
# For raid or mirror segment types, this is the amount of
# data that is copied at once when initializing, or moved
# at once by pvmove.
raid_region_size=512
...
}
$ lvmconfig --type default activation --withcomments --atversion 2.2.98
activation {
...
# Configuration option activation/mirror_region_size.
# Size (in KB) of each copy operation when mirroring.
mirror_region_size=512
...
}
A preparatory code for marking configuration nodes as deprecated:
- struct cfg_def_item gains 2 new fields ("deprecated_since_version" and "deprecation_comment"
- cfg* macros to handle new fields
- related config_settings.h edits to add new fields for each item (null for all at the moment)
Patch with implementation will follow...
Before this patch:
$ lvmconfig --type list --withversions --withsummary global/use_lvmetad
global/use_lvmetad - Use lvmetad to cache metadata and reduce disk scanning. [2.2.93]
$ lvmconfig --type list --withversions global/use_lvmetad
global/use_lvmetad
With this patch applied:
$ lvmconfig --type list --withversions --withsummary global/use_lvmetad
global/use_lvmetad - Use lvmetad to cache metadata and reduce disk scanning. [2.2.93]
$ lvmconfig --type list --withversions global/use_lvmetad
global/use_lvmetad - [2.2.93]
We're commenting out settings with undefined default values.
The comment character '#' was printed at the very beginning of
the line, it should be placed just at the beginning of the setting,
after the space/tab prefix is printed.
Before this patch:
$ lvmconfig --type default activation
activation {
...
# volume_list=[]
...
}
With this patch applied:
$ lvmconfig --type default activation
activation {
...
# volume_list=[]
...
}
These settings are in the "unsupported" group:
devices/loopfiles
log/activate_file
metadata/disk_areas (section)
metadata/disk_areas/<disk_area> (section)
metadata/disk_areas/<disk_area>/size
metadata/disk_areas/<disk_area>/id
These settings are in the "advanced" group:
devices/dir
devices/scan
devices/types
global/proc
activation/missing_stripe_filler
activation/mlock_filter
metadata/pvmetadatacopies
metadata/pvmetadataignore
metadata/stripesize
metadata/dirs
Also, this patch causes the --ignoreunsupported and --ignoreadvanced
switches to be honoured for all config types (lvmconfig --type).
By default, the --type current and --type diff display unsupported
settings, the other types ignore them - this patch also introduces
--showunsupported switch for all these other types to display even
unsupported settings in their output if needed.
lvmconfig --type list displays plain list of configuration settings.
Some of the existing decorations can be used (--withsummary and
--withversions) as well as existing options/switches (--ignoreadvanced,
--ignoreunsupported, --ignorelocal, --atversion).
For example (displaying only "config" section so the list is not long):
$lvmconfig --type list config
config/checks
config/abort_on_errors
config/profile_dir
$ lvmconfig --type list --withsummary config
config/checks - If enabled, any LVM configuration mismatch is reported.
config/abort_on_errors - Abort the LVM process if a configuration mismatch is found.
config/profile_dir - Directory where LVM looks for configuration profiles.
$ lvmconfig -l config
config/checks - If enabled, any LVM configuration mismatch is reported.
config/abort_on_errors - Abort the LVM process if a configuration mismatch is found.
config/profile_dir - Directory where LVM looks for configuration profiles.
$ lvmconfig --type list --withsummary --withversions config
config/checks - If enabled, any LVM configuration mismatch is reported. [2.2.99]
config/abort_on_errors - Abort the LVM process if a configuration mismatch is found. [2.2.99]
config/profile_dir - Directory where LVM looks for configuration profiles. [2.2.99]
Example with --atversion (displaying global section):
$ lvmconfig --type list global

Describe
thin_check_options, thin_repair_options,
cache_check_option, scache_repair_options
as a "list of options", rather than a "string of options"
because a single string, e.g. "-q --clear-needs-check-flag"
does not work, and needs to be entered as a list,
e.g. ["-q", "--clear-needs-check-flag"]
The settings which have their default value evaluated in runtime should
have their 'unconfigured' counterparts also evaluated in runtime since
those values can be constructed by using other settings.
For example, before this patch:
$ lvm dumpconfig --type default --unconfigured devices/cache_dir devices/cache
cache_dir="@DEFAULT_SYS_DIR@/@DEFAULT_CACHE_SUBDIR@"
cache="/etc/lvm/cache/.cache
With this patch applied:
$ lvm dumpconfig --type default --unconfigured devices/cache_dir devices/cache
cache_dir="@DEFAULT_SYS_DIR@/@DEFAULT_CACHE_SUBDIR@"
cache="@DEFAULT_SYS_DIR@/@DEFAULT_CACHE_SUBDIR@/.cache"
The @something@ used for unconfigured default value is not bound to
CFG_TYPE_STRING settings defined in config_settings.h, it can be
used for any other config type too.
By default these are empty strings, so the config settings
should be flagged as undefined, so they will be commented
out of the generated config. Otherwise, the lines:
thin_repair_options=""
cache_repair_options=""
in the dump output cause a warning when processed since
lvm doesn't want an empty string.
Also regenerate lvm.conf.in.
--withfullcomments prints all comment lines for each config option.
--withcomments prints only the first comment line, which should be
a short one-line summary of the option.
Comments from the sample config files are copied into
the comment field of the config settings structure.
This includes only minimal changes to the text.
With this in place, the sample config files can
be generated from 'lvm dumpconfig', and content
for an lvm.conf man page can also be generated.
Refactor the recent metadata-reading optimisation patches.
Remove the recently-added cache fields from struct labeller
and struct format_instance.
Instead, introduce struct lvmcache_vgsummary to wrap the VG information
that lvmcache holds and add the metadata size and checksum to it.
Allow this VG summary information to be looked up by metadata size +
checksum. Adjust the debug log messages to make it clear when this
shortcut has been successful.
(This changes the optimisation slightly, and might be extendable
further.)
Add struct cached_vg_fmtdata to format-specific vg_read calls to
preserve state alongside the VG across separate calls and indicate
if the details supplied match, avoiding the need to read and
process the VG metadata again.
When reading VG mda from multiple PVs - do all the validation only
when mda is seen for the first time and when mda checksum and length
is same just return already existing VG pointer.
(i.e. using 300PVs for a VG would lead to create and destroy 300 config trees....)
If configuration setting is marked in config_setting.h with CFG_DISABLED
flag, default value is always used for such setting, no matter if it's defined
by user (in --config/lvm.conf/lvmlocal.conf).
A warning message is displayed if this happens:
For example:
[1] f21/~ # lvm dumpconfig --validate
WARNING: Configuration setting global/system_id_source is disabled. Using default value.
LVM configuration valid.
[1] f21/~ # pvs
WARNING: Configuration setting global/system_id_source is disabled. Using default value.
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/sdb lvm2 --- 128.00m 128.00m
...
Allow cmd->unknown_system_id to be cleared during toolcontext
refresh.
Set a default value of "none" for global/system_id_source.
Allow local/system_id to be empty so it's not impossible for
a later config file to remove it.
In 2.02.99, _init_tags() inadvertently began to ignore the
dm_config_tree struct passed to it. "tags" sections are not
merged together, so the "tags" section in the main config file was
being processed repeatedly and other "tags" sections were ignored.
Just like MD filtering that detects components of software RAID (md),
add detection for firmware RAID.
We're not adding any native code to detect this - there are lots of
firmware RAIDs out there which is just out of LVM scope. However,
with current changes with which we're able to get device info from
external sources (e.g. external_device_info_source="udev"), we can
do this easily if the external device status source has this kind
of information - which is the case of "udev" source where the results
of blkid scans are stored.
This detection should cover all firmware RAIDs that blkid can detect and
which are identified as:
ID_FS_TYPE = {adaptec,ddf,hpt45x,hpt37x,isw,jmicron,lsi_mega,nvidia,promise_fasttrack,silicon_medley,via}_raid_member
For example, with dmeventd/executable set to "" which is not allowed for
this setting, the config validation now ends up with:
$ lvm dumpconfig --validate
Configuration setting "dmeventd/executable" invalid. It cannot be set to an empty value.
LVM configuration invalid.
This check for empty values for string config settings was not
done before (we only checked empty arrays, but not scalar strings).
Support error_if_no_space feature for thin pools.
Report more info about thinpool status:
(out_of_data (D), metadata_read_only (M), failed (F) also as health
attribute.)
Do not use 'any' policy name as a value in config tree - so we stick
with 'policy_settings' and extra 'policy_name' for libdm params.
Update lvm2 API as well.
Example of supported metadata:
policy = "mq"
policy_settings {
migration_threshold = 2048
sequential_threshold = 512
random_threshold = 4
read_promote_adjustment = 10
}
Support compile type configurable defaults for creation
of sparse volumes.
By default now create 'thin-pools' for sparse volumes.
Use the global/sparse_segtype_default to switch back to old
snapshots if needed.
Apply the same compile logic for newly introduces mirror/raid1 options.
The cache mode of a new cache pool is always explicitly
included in the vg metadata. If a cache mode is not
specified on the command line, the cache mode is taken
from lvm.conf allocation/cache_pool_cachemode, which
defaults to "writethrough".
The cache mode can be displayed with lvs -o+cachemode.
Coverity noticed this function may return untouched buffer,
however in this state can't really happen, but anyway
ensure on error path the buffer will have zero lenght string.
Fix get_pool_params to only read params.
Add poolmetadataspare option to get_pool_params.
Move all profile code into update_pool_params.
Move recalculate code into pool_manip.c
Currently, we have two modes of activation, an unnamed nominal mode
(which I will refer to as "complete") and "partial" mode. The
"complete" mode requires that a volume group be 'complete' - that
is, no missing PVs. If there are any missing PVs, no affected LVs
are allowed to activate - even RAID LVs which might be able to
tolerate a failure. The "partial" mode allows anything to be
activated (or at least attempted). If a non-redundant LV is
missing a portion of its addressable space due to a device failure,
it will be replaced with an error target. RAID LVs will either
activate or fail to activate depending on how badly their
redundancy is compromised.
This patch adds a third option, "degraded" mode. This mode can
be selected via the '--activationmode {complete|degraded|partial}'
option to lvchange/vgchange. It can also be set in lvm.conf.
The "degraded" activation mode allows RAID LVs with a sufficient
level of redundancy to activate (e.g. a RAID5 LV with one device
failure, a RAID6 with two device failures, or RAID1 with n-1
failures). RAID LVs with too many device failures are not allowed
to activate - nor are any non-redundant LVs that may have been
affected. This patch also makes the "degraded" mode the default
activation mode.
The degraded activation mode does not yet work in a cluster. A
new cluster lock flag (LCK_DEGRADED_MODE) will need to be created
to make that work. Currently, there is limited space for this
extra flag and I am looking for possible solutions. One possible
solution is to usurp LCK_CONVERT, as it is not used. When the
locking_type is 3, the degraded mode flag simply gets dropped and
the old ("complete") behavior is exhibited.
The --binary option, if used, causes all the binary values reported
in reporting commands to be displayed as "0" or "1" instead of descriptive
literal values (value "unknown" is still used for values that could not be
determined).
Also, add report/binary_values_as_numeric lvm.conf option with the same
functionality as the --binary option (the --binary option prevails
if both --binary cmd option and report/binary_values_as_numeric lvm.conf
option is used at the same time). The report/binary_values_as_numeric is
also profilable.
This makes it easier to use and check lvm reporting command output in scripts.
The dumpconfig now understands --commandprofile/--profile/--metadataprofile
The --commandprofile and --profile functionality is almost the same
with only one difference and that is that the --profile is just used
for dumping the content, it's not applied for the command itself
(while the --commandprofile profile is applied like it is done for
any other LVM command).
We also allow --metadataprofile for dumpconfig - dumpconfig *does not*
touch VG/LV and metadata in any way so it's OK to use it here (just for
dumping the content, checking the profile validity etc.).
The validity of the profile can be checked with:
dumpconfig --commandprofile/--profile/--metadataprofile --validate
...depending on the profile type.
Also, mention --config in the dumpconfig help string so users know
that dumpconfig handles this too (it did even before, but it was not
documented in the help string).
- When defining configuration source, the code now uses separate
CONFIG_PROFILE_COMMAND and CONFIG_PROFILE_METADATA markers
(before, it was just CONFIG_PROFILE that did not make the
difference between the two). This helps when checking the
configuration if it contains correct set of options which
are all in either command-profilable or metadata-profilable
group without mixing these groups together - so it's a firm
distinction. The "command profile" can't contain
"metadata profile" and vice versa! This is strictly checked
and if the settings are mixed, such profile is rejected and
it's not used. So in the end, the CONFIG_PROFILE_COMMAND
set of options and CONFIG_PROFILE_METADATA are mutually exclusive
sets.
- Marking configuration with one or the other marker will also
determine the way these configuration sources are positioned
in the configuration cascade which is now:
CONFIG_STRING -> CONFIG_PROFILE_COMMAND -> CONFIG_PROFILE_METADATA -> CONFIG_FILE/CONFIG_MERGED_FILES
- Marking configuration with one or the other marker will also make
it possible to issue a command context refresh (will be probably
a part of a future patch) if needed for settings in global profile
set. For settings in metadata profile set this is impossible since
we can't refresh cmd context in the middle of reading VG/LV metadata
and for each VG/LV separately because each VG/LV can have a different
metadata profile assinged and it's not possible to change these
settings at this level.
- When command profile is incorrect, it's rejected *and also* the
command exits immediately - the profile *must* be correct for the
command that was run with a profile to be executed. Before this
patch, when the profile was found incorrect, there was just the
warning message and the command continued without profile applied.
But it's more correct to exit immediately in this case.
- When metadata profile is incorrect, we reject it during command
runtime (as we know the profile name from metadata and not early
from command line as it is in case of command profiles) and we
*do continue* with the command as we're in the middle of operation.
Also, the metadata profile is applied directly and on the fly on
find_config_tree_* fn call and even if the metadata profile is
found incorrect, we still need to return the non-profiled value
as found in the other configuration provided or default value.
To exit immediately even in this case, we'd need to refactor
existing find_config_tree_* fns so they can return error. Currently,
these fns return only config values (which end up with default
values in the end if the config is not found).
- To check the profile validity before use to be sure it's correct,
one can use :
lvm dumpconfig --commandprofile/--metadataprofile ProfileName --validate
(the --commandprofile/--metadataprofile for dumpconfig will come
as part of the subsequent patch)
- This patch also adds a reference to --commandprofile and
--metadataprofile in the cmd help string (which was missing before
for the --profile for some commands). We do not mention --profile
now as people should use --commandprofile or --metadataprofile
directly. However, the --profile is still supported for backward
compatibility and it's translated as:
--profile == --metadataprofile for lvcreate, vgcreate, lvchange and vgchange
(as these commands are able to attach profile to metadata)
--profile == --commandprofile for all the other commands
(--metadataprofile is not allowed there as it makes no sense)
- This patch also contains some cleanups to make the code handling
the profiles more readable...
Mark profilable settings with a separate CFG_PROFILABLE_METADATA
flag where the profile can be attached to VG/LV. This makes it possible
to differentiate global command-profilable settings (CFG_PROFILABLE flag)
and contextual metadata-profilable (per VG/LV) settings (CFG_PROFILABLE_METADATA flag).
When cmd refresh is called, we need to move any already loaded profiles
to profiles_to_load list which will cause their reload on subsequent
use. In addition to that, we need to take into account any change
in config/profile configuration setting on cmd context refresh
since this setting could be overriden with --config.
Also, when running commands in the shell, we need to remove the
global profile used from the configuration cascade so the profile
is not incorrectly reused next time when the --profile option is
not specified anymore for the next command in the shell.
This bug only affected profile specified by --profile cmd line
arg, not profiles referenced from LVM metadata.
Before, the cft_check_handle used to direct configuration checking
was part of cmd_context. It's better to attach this as part of the
exact config tree against which the check is done. This patch moves
the cft_check_handle out of cmd_context and it attaches it to the
config tree directly as dm_config_tree->custom->config_source->check_handle.
This change makes it easier to track the config tree check results
and provides less space for bugs as the results are directly attached
to the tree and we don't need to be cautious whether the global value
is correct or not (and whether it needs reinitialization) as it was
in the case when the cft_check_handle was part of cmd_context.
Add CONFIG_FILE_SPECIAL config source id to make a difference between
real configuration tree (like lvm.conf and tag configs) and special purpose
configuration tree (like LVM metadata, persistent filter).
This makes it easier to attach correct customized data to the config
tree that is created out of the source then.
ignore_suspended_devices=0 is already used in lvm.conf we distribute,
but it was still "1" in the code (so it was used when lvm.conf value
was not defined). It should be "0" too.
