7edbf8a441 io: increase the default io memory from 4 to 8 MiB
This is the default bcache size that is created at the
start of the command.  It needs to be large enough to
hold a single copy of metadata for a given VG, or the
VG cannot be read or written (since the entire VG would
not fit into available memory.)

Increasing the default reduces the chances of anyone
needing to increase the default to use their VG.

The size can be set in lvm.conf global/io_memory_size;
the lower limit is 4 MiB and the upper limit is 128 MiB.

dd8d083795 config: add new setting io_memory_size
which defines the amount of memory that lvm will allocate
for bcache.  Increasing this setting is required if it is
smaller than a single copy of VG metadata.

9aea6ae956 logging: add command[pid] and timestamp to file and verbose output
Without this, the output from different commands in a single

Change the default "indent" setting to 0 so that the default
debug output does not include variable spaces in the middle
of debug lines.

3320ab8334 lib: move towards v2 version of VDO format
Drop very old original format of VDO target and focus on V2 version.
So some variables were renamed or replaced.
There is no compatibility preserved (with assumption so far this is
experimental feature and there is no real user).

Note - version currently VDO calls this version 6.2.

e82303fd6a lvcreate/lvconvert: optionally reenable mirrored mirror log for testing purposes only
This is a followup patch to commit edb72cb70c
to support related lvm2 test suite tests.

A 'global/support_mirrored_mirror_log' bool configuration variable gets
introduced allowing the creation of, or conversion to mirrored 'mirror'
logs if set.  The capability to create these in turn allows the rest of
the tests to perform activation of such existing LVs and their conversions
to disk/core 'mirror' logs.

Display a disclaimer warning if enabled that this is not for regular use.

Add definition of the enabled config option to respective test scripts.

904e1e3d26 Place the first PE at 1 MiB for all defaults
. When using default settings, this commit should change
  nothing.  The first PE continues to be placed at 1 MiB
  resulting in a metadata area size of 1020 KiB (for
  4K page sizes; slightly smaller for larger page sizes.)

. When default_data_alignment is disabled in lvm.conf,
  align pe_start at 1 MiB, based on a default metadata area
  size that adapts to the page size.  Previously, disabling
  this option would result in mda_size that was too small
  for common use, and produced a 64 KiB aligned pe_start.

. Customized pe_start and mda_size values continue to be
  set as before in lvm.conf and command line.

. Remove the configure option for setting default_data_alignment
  at build time.

. Improve alignment related option descriptions.

. Add section about alignment to pvcreate man page.

Previously, DEFAULT_PVMETADATASIZE was 255 sectors.
However, the fact that the config setting named
"default_data_alignment" has a default value of 1 (MiB)
meant that DEFAULT_PVMETADATASIZE was having no effect.

The metadata area size is the space between the start of
the metadata area (page size offset from the start of the
device) and the first PE (1 MiB by default due to
default_data_alignment 1.)  The result is a 1020 KiB metadata
area on machines with 4KiB page size (1024 KiB - 4 KiB),
and smaller on machines with larger page size.

If default_data_alignment was set to 0 (disabled), then
DEFAULT_PVMETADATASIZE 255 would take effect, and produce a
metadata area that was 188 KiB and pe_start of 192 KiB.
This was too small for common use.

This is fixed by making the default metadata area size a
computed value that matches the value produced by
default_data_alignment.

4b5d6de86b pvscan systemd service for event based activation
The pvscan systemd service for autoactivation was
mistakenly dropped along with the lvmetad related
services.

The activation generator program now looks at the new
lvm.conf setting "event_activation" (default 1) to
switch between event activation and direct activation.

Previously, the old use_lvmetad setting was used to
switch between event and direct activation.

ca66d52032 io: use sync io if aio fails
io_setup() for aio may fail if a system has reached the
aio request limit.  In this case, fall back to using
sync io.  Also, lvm use of aio can be disabled entirely
with config setting global/use_aio=0.

The system limit for aio requests can be seen from
  /proc/sys/fs/aio-max-nr

The current usage of aio requests can be seen from
  /proc/sys/fs/aio-nr

The system limit for aio requests can be increased by
setting fs.aio-max-nr using sysctl.

Also add last-byte limit to the sync io code.

bfcecbbce1 filter: add config setting to skip scanning LVs
devices/scan_lvs (default 1) determines whether lvm
will scan LVs for layered PVs.  The lvm behavior has
always been to scan LVs, but it's rare for LVs to have
layered PVs, and much more common for there to be many
LVs that substantially slow down scanning with no benefit.

This is implemented in the usable filter, and has the
same effect as listing all LVs in the global_filter.

117160b27e Remove lvmetad
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.

e6bb780d24 Rework lock-override options and locking_type settings
The last commit related to this was incomplete:
  "Implement lock-override options without locking type"

This is further reworking and reduction of the locking.[ch]
layer which handled all clustering, but is now only used
for file locking.  The "locking types" that this layer
implemented were removed previously, leaving only the
standard file locking.  (Some cluster-related artifacts
remain to be cleared out later.)

Command options to override or modify locking behavior
are reimplemented here without using the locking types.
Also, deprecated locking_type values are recognized,
and implemented as if one of the equivalent override
options was set.

Options that override file locking are:

. --nolocking disables all file locking.

. --readonly grants read lock requests without actually
  taking a file lock, and refuses write lock requests.

. --ignorelockingfailure tries to set up file locks and
  uses them normally if possible.  When not possible, it
  behaves like --readonly, but allows activation.

. --sysinit is the same as ignorelockingfailure.

. global/metadata_read_only acquires actual read file
  locks, and refuses write lock requests.

(Some of these options could probably be deprecated
because they were added as workarounds to various
locking_type behaviors that are now deprecated.)

The locking_type setting now has one valid value: 1 which
refers to standard file locking.  Configs that contain
deprecated values are recognized and still work in
largely the same way:

. 0 disabled all locking, now implemented like --nolocking
  is set.  Allow the nolocking option in all commands.

. 1 is the normal file locking setting and is unchanged.

. 2 was for external locking which was not used, and
  reverts to normal file locking.

. 3 was for cluster/clvm.  This reverts to normal file
  locking, and prints messages about lvmlockd.

. 4 was equivalent to readonly, now implemented like
  --readonly is set.

. 5 disabled all locking, now implemented like
  --nolocking is set.

ccc35e2647 device-mapper: Fork libdm internally.
The device-mapper directory now holds a copy of libdm source.  At
the moment this code is identical to libdm.  Over time code will
migrate out to appropriate places (see doc/refactoring.txt).

The libdm directory still exists, and contains the source for the
libdevmapper shared library, which we will continue to ship (though
not neccessarily update).

All code using libdm should now use the version in device-mapper.

c1cd18f21e Remove lvm1 and pool disk formats
There are likely more bits of code that can be removed,

The lvm1-specific config settings should probably have
some other fields set for proper deprecation.

aee27dc7ba scan: skip device rescan in vg_read
For reporting commands (pvs,vgs,lvs,pvdisplay,vgdisplay,lvdisplay)
we do not need to repeat the label scan of devices in vg_read if
they all had matching metadata in the initial label scan.  The
data read by label scan can just be reused for the vg_read.
This cuts the amount of device i/o in half, from two reads of
each device to one.  We have to be careful to avoid repairing
the VG if we've skipped rescanning.  (The VG repair code is very
poor, and will be redone soon.)

6c67c7557c scan: use separate fd for bcache
Create a new dev->bcache_fd that the scanning code owns
and is in charge of opening/closing.  This prevents other
parts of lvm code (which do various open/close) from
interfering with the bcache fd.  A number of dev_open
and dev_close are removed from the reading path since
the read path now uses the bcache.

With that in place, open(O_EXCL) for pvcreate/pvremove
can then be fixed.  That wouldn't work previously because
of other open fds.

d9a77e8bb4 lvmcache: simplify metadata cache
The copy of VG metadata stored in lvmcache was not being used
in general.  It pretended to be a generic VG metadata cache,
but was not being used except for clvmd activation.  There
it was used to avoid reading from disk while devices were
suspended, i.e. in resume.

This removes the code that attempted to make this look
like a generic metadata cache, and replaces with with
something narrowly targetted to what it's actually used for.

This is a way of passing the VG from suspend to resume in
clvmd.  Since in the case of clvmd one caller can't simply
pass the same VG to both suspend and resume, suspend needs
to stash the VG somewhere that resume can grab it from.
(resume doesn't want to read it from disk since devices
are suspended.)  The lvmcache vginfo struct is used as a
convenient place to stash the VG to pass it from suspend
to resume, even though it isn't related to the lvmcache
or vginfo.  These suspended_vg* vginfo fields should
not be used or touched anywhere else, they are only to
be used for passing the VG data from suspend to resume
in clvmd.  The VG data being passed between suspend and
resume is never modified, and will only exist in the
brief period between suspend and resume in clvmd.

suspend has both old (current) and new (precommitted)
copies of the VG metadata.  It stashes both of these in
the vginfo prior to suspending devices.  When vg_commit
is successful, it sets a flag in vginfo as before,
signaling the transition from old to new metadata.

resume grabs the VG stashed by suspend.  If the vg_commit
happened, it grabs the new VG, and if the vg_commit didn't
happen it grabs the old VG.  The VG is then used to resume
LVs.

This isolates clvmd-specific code and usage from the
normal lvm vg_read code, making the code simpler and
the behavior easier to verify.

Sequence of operations:

- lv_suspend() has both vg_old and vg_new
  and stashes a copy of each onto the vginfo:
  lvmcache_save_suspended_vg(vg_old);
  lvmcache_save_suspended_vg(vg_new);

- vg_commit() happens, which causes all clvmd
  instances to call lvmcache_commit_metadata(vg).
  A flag is set in the vginfo indicating the
  transition from the old to new VG:
  vginfo->suspended_vg_committed = 1;

- lv_resume() needs either vg_old or vg_new
  to use in resuming LVs.  It doesn't want to
  read the VG from disk since devices are
  suspended, so it gets the VG stashed by
  lv_suspend:
  vg = lvmcache_get_suspended_vg(vgid);

If the vg_commit did not happen, suspended_vg_committed
will not be set, and in this case, lvmcache_get_suspended_vg()
will return the old VG instead of the new VG, and it will
resume LVs based on the old metadata.
