34de60e4d4 Call explicitly suspend for temporary mirror layer.
The memlock_inc() fix is wrong, memlock count is not
propagated to long living process (clvmd) and just
it underflow there.
Also suspend is needed to pre-load precommited metadata
on other nodes (remapping to error taget in this case).

With explicit suspend we generate lock request and code
can update memlock count.

(Infinitely "locked" memory caused that fs_unlock() was not
called properly and on cluster nodes remains
old links in /dev/mapper for not active devices.)

(N.B. failing of suspend call here is not handled as fatal
error - the LV is going to be removed later anyway.)

0fa0e6addf Allow manipulation with precommited metadata even when a PV is missing.
The new recovery code first tries to repair LV and then removes failed PV
from VG. It means that during operation there can be VG with PV missing,
and vg_read code handles it like not consistent VG.

We already allows returning "inconsistent" commited metadata,
for mirror repair we need this for precommited too.
(The suspend call prepares precommited metadata to inactive table on
other cluster nodes.)

"Inconsistent" here means - correct metadata, just with some metadata areas
not found (obviously on missing or failed PVs).

85fabd8116 Never ever use distributed lock for LV in non-clustered VG.
The LV locks make sense only for clustered LVs.

Properly check cluster flag and never issue cluster lock here.

There are several places in code, where it is already checked, this
patch add this check to all needed calls.

In previous code the lock behaviour was inconsistent,
for example, the pre/post callback can take lock even for local volume,
but deactivate call do not released this lock and it remains held forever.

The local LV lock request now just let run the underlying activation code
on local node, the same process like in local locking.

(Again, this is important for new mirror repair calls, here for local
mirrors but with cluster locking enabled.)

4b3efd3537 Allow implicit lock conversion for pre/post callbacks.
This is unnoticed regression from commit 31672ff60e

The pre/post callback need to convert lock always, local node
is going to modify metadata in this case, it it fails conversion,
the call is ignored.

Also it fixes bug when the lock is not yet held, we cannot set LKF_CONVERT
in this case, it will fail because this lock do not exist.

Note that the automatic conversion is still disabled in activate
call, so the original fix (reactivation of exlusive LV) should
be still in place.

Milan Broz
4499aa2ea5 Allow implicit "convert" to the same lock mode.
(Code already not fail if unlocking not locked resource.)

This is needed in pre/post lock_lv call, where we can
request the same lock on local node becuase of suspend call.

cc31b2bd3f Get rid of magic masks in cluster locking code - clvmd part.
- do_command and lock_vg expect flags (no change here)

Bug fixes:
- lock_vg should check for NONBLOCK on lock_cmd, flags have this bit masked-out

- do_pre/post_command expect do not mask flag at all, this causes that
the code inside is never run! (see following patches, these functions
expect plain command without flags)

f72a06ccf7 Remove newly created log volume if initial deactivation fails.
If there is problem deactivate LV and
_init_mirror_log is called with remove_on_failure = 1,
remove the newly created log LV from metadata.

(This can happen if there is active device with the same name
but different UUID.)

The main reason for this "workaround" patch is to
 - do not keep _mlog volume in metadata, so user can repeat the action
 - print better error message describing the real problem

63ae0d1464 Fix memory lock imbalance in lv_suspend if already suspended.
pvmove suspends all moved LVs + pvmoveX mirrored LV itself.

This suspends even underlying pvmoveX and following explicit
suspend call is just noop.

But in resume the pvmoveX volume is no longer underlying
device for moved LVs, so it performs full resume with memlock
decrease.

Code must call memlock_inc() if suspend is requested, volume
is already suspended and error is not requested.

a2552d4f59 Switch status from 32-bit to 64-bit
The physical_volume, volume_group, logical_volume and lv_segment
structures' 'status' member is now uint64_t.

The alignment of these structures was also audited to remove holes.  The
movement of some members in 'volume_group' and 'lv_segment' eliminates
holes.  The 'physical_volume' structure still has one 4-byte hole after
'pe_size'; the other structures no longer have any holes.  Each
structures' size has not changed.

e1ab01e3ad Refresh device filters before full device rescan in lvmcache.
The sysfs filter initialise hash of available devices using
scan of /sys/block. We need to refresh even this hash
when performing full scan otherwise the newly appeared
device could be rejected, because there is no entry
in sysfs filter.

This easily could happen when attaching new device
to cluster node. (Only force refresh of context
in clvmd -R works here now).

Unfortunately consequences of this are much worse,
missing device part on that node is replaced with missing segment
(even when no partial arg is selected) and this directly
lead to data corruption.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=538515

Simply fix it by refreshing device filters in lvmcache
before performing the full device scan.

155c608cd3 Return error status if vgchange fails to activate some volume.
(on one node a storage connection failed):

# vgchange -a y vg_bar ; echo $?
  Error locking on node bar-02: Refusing activation of partial LV lv1. Use --partial to override.
    1 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg_bar" now active
    0

So activation fails on one node, error is correctly printed but
status code is wrong.

This patch fixes the top level (vgchange) to return proper code
(and print # of activated LVs).

(lvchange returns error properly here.)

6b8304ab43 Fix memory lock imbalance in locking code.
(This affects only cluster locking because only cluster
locking module set LCK_PRE_MEMLOCK.)

With currect code you get
# vgchange -a n
  Internal error: _memlock_count has dropped below 0.
when using cluster locking.

It is caused by _unlock_memory calls here

  if ((flags & (LCK_SCOPE_MASK | LCK_TYPE_MASK)) == LCK_LV_RESUME)
     memlock_dec();

Unfortunately it is also (wrongly) called in immediate unlock
(when LCK_HOLD is not set) from lock_vol
(LCK_UNLOCK is misinterpreted as LCK_LV_RESUME).

Avoid this by comparing original flags and provide memlock
code type of operation (suspend/resume).

b9ac4b0cf8 Never activate hidden volumes directly in vgchange.
All hidden (not visible) volumes should be activated through
other visible volumes.

(There are already exceptions like snapshot, mirror log and image,
which should be cleaned one day...)

This solves problems for future types of hidden volumes,
which can have special meaning and must not be activated implicitly
(e.g. key store volume).

0ddb66efba Add --pvmetadatacopies as a synonym for --metadatacopies in various commands.
Going forward, we would like to allow users to specify the total
number of metadatacopies in a VG rather than on a per-PV basis.  In
order to facilitate that, introduce --pvmetadatacopes to replace
--metadatacopies everywhere.  We still allow --metadatacopies for
pv commands, but require --pvmetadatacopies for vg commands.
Eventually we will introduce --vgmetadatacopies.  Once we do that,
we should either deprecate --metadatacopies or make it a synonym based
on the command (pvmetadatacopies for pv commands, and vgmetadatacopies
for vg commands).  The latter option would likely just require a simple
'strncpy' check against cmd->command->name to qualify the merge_synonym
call.

Update nightly tests to cover the pvmetadatacopies synonym.

Note that this patch is the result of an eariler review comment for
the implicit pvcreate patches.  Should apply cleanly on top of the
implicit pvcreate patches (I applied after patch 10/10 in that series).

NOTE: This patch will require --pvmetadatacopies for vgconvert as
--metadatacopies is no longer accepted.

266214db84 Fix process_each_vg / _process_one_vg when vg_read() returns FAILED_LOCKING.
Remove the checks for vg_read_error() in most of the tools callback
functions and instead make the check in _process_one_vg() more general.

In all but vgcfgbackup, we do not want to proceed if we get any error
from vg_read().  In vgcfgbackup's case, we may proceed if the backup
is to proceed with inconsistent VGs.  This is a special case though,
and we mark it with the READ_ALLOW_INCONSISTENT flag passed to
process_each_vg (and subsequently to _process_one_vg).

NOTE: More cleanup is needed in the vg_read_error() path cases.
This patch is a start.

f83332a0d5 Several changes in udev rules:
- add DM_UDEV_RULES_VSN to provide a variable to be checked for in the other
  rules (e.g. to check that DM rules are actually installed, we can alternate
  functionality in the other rules based on this information, also we have
  versioning support for the rules)
- set proper sbin path for dmsetup and blkid, /sbin first, then /usr/sbin.
  This is necessary for anaconda to work properly.
- add 'last_rule' for cryptsetup's temporary devices (symlinks in /dev/mapper
  only)

a5609e3086 Update lvm_vg_write() to handle the deferred commit of lvm_vg_write().
Now that we've refactored the internal library functions that do the
vg_remove, we can handle the deferred commit of a lvm_vg_remove() inside
lvm_vg_write().  This makes the VG create/remove API more consistent in
terms of disk commits - they now both require an lvm_vg_write() to commit
the create or remove to disk.

3de6df8410 Enforce an alphabetical lock ordering for vgname locks.
Add a new constraint that vgname locks must be obtained in
alphabetical order.  At this point, we have test coverage for
the 3 commands affected - vgsplit, vgmerge, and vgrename.
Tests have been updated to cover these commands.
Going forward any command or library call that must obtain
more than one vgname lock must do so in alphabetical order.
Future patches will update lvm2app to enforce this ordering.
