A patch to the kernel, adding the 'luid' field to dm_ulog_request,
will allow us to properly identify log instances. We will now
be able to definitively identify which logs are to be removed/
suspended/resumed. This replaces the old faulty behavior of
assuming the logs were the same if they had the same UUID and
incrementing/decrementing a reference count.
For now, a simple way to enforce the read/write semantics is to just save the
open mode of the VG. If the caller uses lvm_vg_create, the mode is write.
The caller using lvm_vg_open can use either read or write to open the VG.
Once we have this, we enforce the permissions on each API call and don't allow
a caller to modify a VG that has not been opened properly.
This may be better combined with the locking mode, but I view that as future
cleanup, past this initial release. The intial release should enforce the
basic object semantics though, as described in the lvm.h file.

Adding the ability to get the seqno is important for an application to
determine if something has changed in a VG. Otherwise, the only way to
know is to open the VG with write permission and hold the handle.
This addresses a a large amount of Alasdair's review. Subsequent patches
will address remaining issues.
Addressed:
// FIXME Mention that's also required on error.
// FIXME Be consistent in terminology. It's called "system_dir" then last sentence says "system directory setting". Is it referring to "system_dir" there or something else?
// FIXME Mention it frees all resources and cannot be used subsequently?
// FIXME What does "any system configuration" mean?
// FIXME Expand on that explanation a bit, now that we know what the other fns look like.
// FIXME Not sure about that - it needs to scan sometimes. "will not" or "might not" ?
// FIXME: That's a FIXME in the code!!!
// FIXME What does "copied" mean in this context???
// FIXME Say what struct the returned struct dm_list is a list of...
// FIXME "This API" ? This function creates an object in memory?
// FIXME This function commits the Volume Group object referenced by the VG handle to disk?
// FIXME Where is "Name" defined? Absolute pathname?
Outstanding:
// FIXME Version function first? No structs or handles needed for that.
// FIXME Sort out this alignment. "Set an" directly below "system_dir" looks awful. Indent differently? More blank lines?
// FIXME Check how doxygen processes this. E.g. "return: LVM handle. You must use lvm_error() to check there were no errors and confirm that the handle is valid for passing to other functions."
// FIXME Find a better name. lvm_init.
// FIXME Consider renaming according to the new name for lvm_create.
// FIXME Please can we use dm_malloc throughout?
Allowing the caller to override the LVM configuration with an API will
enable them to use things such as device filters.
While very flexible, there is some danger to this API in that it will
make it harder to debug setups that have a changing config and deduce
what might have happened. At some point we may want to limit the scope
of this API but for now it is as open as the --config option to lvm commands.
Update exported symbols. When I renamed lvm_reload_config to lvm_config_reload
I forgot to rename so I renamed that one here.
This I believe is the last liblvm API for now. ;-)

These lower-priority interfaces are not currently implemented in liblvm
but are on the TODO list in the near term.

Extend lvm_vg_write to remove pvs removed in lvm_vg_reduce. The lvm
volume_group internal structure removed_pvs is used for that. The list is
empty afterwards.
Add new test for vg->pvs emptyness to lvm_vg_write to prevent to write empty
vgs. This is needed because of lvm_vg_reduce and lv_vg_create, which creates
empty vgs.

This function behaves a little bit different than vg_reduce_single, because
it allowes to remove even the latest pv. This has been done to be consistent
to lvm_vg_create, which creates an empty vg.
removed_pvs has been added to the volume_group struct. vg_reduce adds remove
pvs to this list to be able to commit the changes for the pvs in lvm_vg_comm
in liblvm2app.
Initialize removed_pvs list in format-specific volume_group constructors.
Ideally, we should have a base constructor here that initializes the general
non-format specific members of struct volume_group. But until then, there
are multiple places to initialize these members. Maybe a better patch would
be a base constructor patch for struct volume_group. That is more work
though.

The two liblvm functions that return a list of vgnames and vguuids use
cmd->mem to allocate the list. Make it clear to the caller that this
memory will be freed when the LVM handle is freed.
Clean up and clarify the return value of the functions. In the
case of a memory allocation error, add a couple log_errnos to the internal
code, and make it clear that memory allocation returns a NULL pointer.
If there are no VGs in the system, the list returned is an empty list.
Make a note of the fact that currently we return hidden VG names, how
these can be detected (always start with "#"), and that they should
not be used.

The general naming scheme for most liblvm APIs is:
lvm_<object>_<action>
As there are likely to be other things to do on the lvm 'config' object
(i.e. lvm_config_set_device_filter), we should use consistent naming.
Author: Dave Wysochanski <dwysocha@redhat.com>
Limited implementation but other types of activation should probably have
separate calls. We also currently do not handle pvmoves or lvconverts.

For now, liblvm will return -1 (fail) / 0 (success) or
NULL (fail) / non-NULL (success). Upon failure, lvm_errno and
lvm_errmsg should be used to determine the precise error.
Author: Dave Wysochanski <dwysocha@redhat.com>
For now, we use the following scheme.
For APIs that return an int, success is 0, fail is -1.
APIs that return handles, success is non-NULL, fail is NULL.
At this early stage, liblvm error handling mechanism is subject to change,
but for now we go with this simple scheme consistent with system
programming.
