2916a8a1f3 read_lvflags: keep flag reading focused on flags
Previous update needed to add handling segtype within flag.c
which somewhat breaks API separition and also had bug in hanlding
actual flags.

So instead keep segtype code in _read_segtype_and_lvflags() within
import_vsn1.c and handle purly flags in read_lvflags() from const
string.

e0421ee7bf export: change to read_segtype_and_lvflags
Instead of duplicating whole segtype string with flags and
using 2 calls read_segtype_lvflags() + get_segtype_from_string(),
merge the functionality into a single read_segtype_and_lvflags().
This allows to make only a local string copy (no allocs) and eventually
to not copy segtype string at all, when there are no flags.

0a28e3c44b Add metadata-based autoactivation property for VG and LV
The autoactivation property can be specified in lvcreate
or vgcreate for new LVs/VGs, and the property can be changed
by lvchange or vgchange for existing LVs/VGs.

 --setautoactivation y|n
 enables|disables autoactivation of a VG or LV.

Autoactivation is enabled by default, which is consistent with
past behavior.  The disabled state is stored as a new flag
in the VG metadata, and the absence of the flag allows
autoactivation.

If autoactivation is disabled for the VG, then no LVs in the VG
will be autoactivated (the LV autoactivation property will have
no effect.)  When autoactivation is enabled for the VG, then
autoactivation can be controlled on individual LVs.

The state of this property can be reported for LVs/VGs using
the "-o autoactivation" option in lvs/vgs commands, which will
report "enabled", or "" for the disabled state.

Previous versions of lvm do not recognize this property.  Since
autoactivation is enabled by default, the disabled setting will
have no effect in older lvm versions.  If the VG is modified by
older lvm versions, the disabled state will also be dropped from
the metadata.

The autoactivation property is an alternative to using the lvm.conf
auto_activation_volume_list, which is still applied to to VGs/LVs
in addition to the new property.

If VG or LV autoactivation is disabled either in metadata or in
auto_activation_volume_list, it will not be autoactivated.

An autoactivation command will silently skip activating an LV
when the autoactivation property is disabled.

To determine the effective autoactivation behavior for a specific
LV, multiple settings would need to be checked:
the VG autoactivation property, the LV autoactivation property,
the auto_activation_volume_list.  The "activation skip" property
would also be relevant, since it applies to both normal and auto
activation.

b4212be2e7 thin: improve 16g support for thin pool metadata
Initial support for thin-pool used slightly smaller max size 15.81GiB
for thin-pool metadata. However the real limit later settled at 15.88GiB
(difference is ~64MiB - 16448 4K blocks).

lvm2 could not simply increase the size as it has been using hard cropping
of the loaded metadata device to avoid warnings printing warning of kernel
when the size was bigger (i.e. due to bigger extent_size).

This patch adds the new lvm.conf configurable setting:
allocation/thin_pool_crop_metadata
which defaults to 0 -> no crop of metadata beyond 15.81GiB.
Only user with these sizes of metadata will be affected.

Without cropping lvm2 now limits metadata allocation size to 15.88GiB.
Any space beyond is currently not used by thin-pool target.
Even if i.e. bigger LV is used for metadata via lvconvert,
or allocated bigger because of to large extent size.

With cropping enabled (=1) lvm2 preserves the old limitation
15.81GiB and should allow to work in the evironement with
older lvm2 tools (i.e. older distribution).

Thin-pool metadata with size bigger then 15.81G is now using CROP_METADATA
flag within lvm2 metadata, so older lvm2 recognizes an
incompatible thin-pool and cannot activate such pool!

Users should use uncropped version as it is not suffering
from various issues between thin_repair results and allocated
metadata LV as thin_repair limit is 15.88GiB
Users should use cropping only when really needed!

Patch also better handles resize of thin-pool metadata and prevents resize
beoyond usable size 15.88GiB. Resize beyond 15.81GiB automatically
switches pool to no-crop version. Even with existing bigger thin-pool
metadata command 'lvextend -l+1 vg/pool_tmeta' does the change.

Patch gives better controls 'coverted' metadata LV and
reports less confusing message during conversion.

Patch set also moves the code for updating min/max into pool_manip.c
for better sharing with cache_pool code.

d9e8895a96 Allow dm-integrity to be used for raid images
dm-integrity stores checksums of the data written to an
LV, and returns an error if data read from the LV does
not match the previously saved checksum.  When used on
raid images, dm-raid will correct the error by reading
the block from another image, and the device user sees
no error.  The integrity metadata (checksums) are stored
on an internal LV allocated by lvm for each linear image.
The internal LV is allocated on the same PV as the image.

Create a raid LV with an integrity layer over each
raid image (for raid levels 1,4,5,6,10):

lvcreate --type raidN --raidintegrity y [options]

Add an integrity layer to images of an existing raid LV:

lvconvert --raidintegrity y LV

Remove the integrity layer from images of a raid LV:

lvconvert --raidintegrity n LV

Settings

Use --raidintegritymode journal|bitmap (journal is default)
to configure the method used by dm-integrity to ensure
crash consistency.

Initialization

When integrity is added to an LV, the kernel needs to
initialize the integrity metadata/checksums for all blocks
in the LV.  The data corruption checking performed by
dm-integrity will only operate on areas of the LV that
are already initialized.  The progress of integrity
initialization is reported by the "syncpercent" LV
reporting field (and under the Cpy%Sync lvs column.)

Example: create a raid1 LV with integrity:

$ lvcreate --type raid1 -m1 --raidintegrity y -n rr -L1G foo
  Creating integrity metadata LV rr_rimage_0_imeta with size 12.00 MiB.
  Logical volume "rr_rimage_0_imeta" created.
  Creating integrity metadata LV rr_rimage_1_imeta with size 12.00 MiB.
  Logical volume "rr_rimage_1_imeta" created.
  Logical volume "rr" created.
$ lvs -a foo
  LV                  VG  Attr       LSize  Origin              Cpy%Sync
  rr                  foo rwi-a-r---  1.00g                     4.93
  [rr_rimage_0]       foo gwi-aor---  1.00g [rr_rimage_0_iorig] 41.02

91ee025d5b cache: change cachevol flags for backward compat
A cachevol LV had the CACHE_VOL status flag in metadata,
and the cache LV using it had no new flag.  This caused
problems if the new metadata was used by an old version
of lvm.  An old version of lvm would have two problems
processing the new metadata:

. The old lvm would return an error when reading the VG
  metadata when it saw the unknown CACHE_VOL status flag.

. The old lvm would return an error when reading the VG
  metadata because it would not find an expected cache pool
  attached to the cache LV (since the cache LV had a
  cachevol attached instead.)

Change the use of flags:

. Change the CACHE_VOL flag to be a COMPATIBLE flag (instead
  of a STATUS flag) so that old versions will not fail when
  they see it.

. When a cache LV is using a cachevol, the cache LV gets
  a new SEGTYPE flag CACHE_USES_CACHEVOL.  This flag is
  appended to the segtype name, so that old lvm versions
  will fail to use the LV because of an unknown segtype,
  as opposed to failing to read the VG.

a9eaab6beb Use "cachevol" to refer to cache on a single LV
and "cachepool" to refer to a cache on a cache pool object.

The problem was that the --cachepool option was being used
to refer to both a cache pool object, and to a standard LV
used for caching.  This could be somewhat confusing, and it
made it less clear when each kind would be used.  By
separating them, it's clear when a cachepool or a cachevol
should be used.

Previously:

- lvm would use the cache pool approach when the user passed
  a cache-pool LV to the --cachepool option.

- lvm would use the cache vol approach when the user passed
  a standard LV in the --cachepool option.

Now:

- lvm will always use the cache pool approach when the user
  uses the --cachepool option.

- lvm will always use the cache vol approach when the user
  uses the --cachevol option.

cac4a9743a Allow dm-cache cache device to be standard LV
If a single, standard LV is specified as the cache, use
it directly instead of converting it into a cache-pool
object with two separate LVs (for data and metadata).

With a single LV as the cache, lvm will use blocks at the
beginning for metadata, and the rest for data.  Separate
dm linear devices are set up to point at the metadata and
data areas of the LV.  These dm devs are given to the
dm-cache target to use.

The single LV cache cannot be resized without recreating it.

If the --poolmetadata option is used to specify an LV for
metadata, then a cache pool will be created (with separate
LVs for data and metadata.)

Usage:

$ lvcreate -n main -L 128M vg /dev/loop0

$ lvcreate -n fast -L 64M vg /dev/loop1

486ed10848 vgmerge: Fix intermediate metadata corruption
vgmerge suffers from a similar problem to the one fixed in commit
8146548d25 ("vgsplit: Fix intermediate
metadata corruption.")

When merging, splitting or renaming VGs, use a new PV status flag
PV_MOVED_VG to mark the PVs that hold metadata with the old VG name and
use this to provide PV-level granularity instead of incorrectly assuming
all PVs in the VG are the same.

1c916ec5ff raid: add reshape segtype flag support
Prohibit activation of reshaping RaidLVs on incompatible
lvm2 runtime by storing e.g. 'raid5+RESHAPE' segment type
strings in the lvm2 metadata.  Incompatible runtime not
supporting reshaping won't be able to activate those thus
avoiding potential data corruption.

Any new non-reshaping lvconvert command will reset the
segment type string from 'raid5+RESHAPE' to 'raid5'.

Switch METADATA_FORMAT flag usage to be stored via segtype
instead of 'status' flag which appeared to cause major

For backward compatiblity segtype flags are still accepted also
via 'status' bits which were used from version 2.02.169 so metadata
saved by this newer lvm2 version should still work nicely, although
new save version will no longer work on this older lvm2 version.

518b814cdb cache: LV supports cache segs with metadata format
Cache pool read/writes metadata_format within its segment type..

For CachePoolLV unselected metadata format is NOT stored in metadata.

For CacheLV when metadata format is not present/selected in lvm2 metadata,
it's automatically assumed to be the version 1 (backward compatible).

To ensure older lvm2 will not 'miss-read' metadata with new version 2,
such LV is marked with METADATA_FORMAT status flag (segment is
specifying metadata format). So when cache uses metadata format 2,
it will become inaccesible on older system without such support.
(kernel dm cache < 1.10,  lvm2 < 2.02.169).

e2354ea344 lvconvert: add infrastructure for RaidLV reshaping support
In order to support striped raid5/6/10 LV reshaping (change
of LV type, stripesize or number of legs), this patch
introduces infrastructure prerequisites to be used
by raid_manip.c extensions in followup patches.

This base is needed for allocation of out-of-place
reshape space required by the MD raid personalities to
avoid writing over data in-place when reading off the
current RAID layout or number of legs and writing out
the new layout or to a different number of legs
(i.e. restripe)

Changes:
- add members reshape_len to 'struct lv_segment' to store
  out-of-place reshape length per component rimage
- add member data_copies to struct lv_segment
  to support more than 2 raid10 data copies
- make alloc_lv_segment() aware of both reshape_len and data_copies
- adjust all alloc_lv_segment() callers to the new API
- add functions to retrieve the current data offset (needed for
  out-of-place reshaping space allocation) and the devices count
  from the kernel
- make libdm deptree code aware of reshape_len
- add LV flags for disk add/remove reshaping
- support import/export of the new 'struct lv_segment' members
- enhance lv_extend/_lv_reduce to cope with reshape_len
- add seg_is_*/segtype_is_* macros related to reshaping
- add target version check for reshaping
- grow rebuilds/writemostly bitmaps to 246 bit to support kernel maximal
- enhance libdm deptree code to support data_offset (out-of-place reshaping)
  and delta_disk (legs add/remove reshaping) target arguments

c9f021de0b metadata: process_each_lv_in_vg: get the list of LVs to process first, then do the processing
This avoids a problem in which we're using selection on LV list - we
need to do the selection on initial state and not on any intermediary
state as we process LVs one by one - some of the relations among LVs
can be gone during this processing.

For example, processing one LV can cause the other LVs to lose the
relation to this LV and hence they're not selectable anymore with
the original selection criteria as it would be if we did selection
on inital state. A perfect example is with thin snapshots:

$ lvs -o lv_name,origin,layout,role vg
  LV    Origin Layout      Role
  lvol1        thin,sparse public,origin,thinorigin,multithinorigin
  lvol2 lvol1  thin,sparse public,snapshot,thinsnapshot
  lvol3 lvol1  thin,sparse public,snapshot,thinsnapshot
  pool         thin,pool   private

$ lvremove -ff -S 'lv_name=lvol1 || origin=lvol1'
  Logical volume "lvol1" successfully removed

The lvremove command above was supposed to remove lvol1 as well as
all its snapshots which have origin=lvol1. It failed to do so, because
once we removed the origin lvol1, the lvol2 and lvol3 which were
snapshots before are not snapshots anymore - the relations change
as we're processing these LVs one by one.

If we do the selection first and then execute any concrete actions on
these LVs (which is what this patch does), the behaviour is correct
then - the selection is done on the *initial state*:

$ lvremove -ff -S 'lv_name=lvol1 || origin=lvol1'
  Logical volume "lvol1" successfully removed
  Logical volume "lvol2" successfully removed
  Logical volume "lvol3" successfully removed

Similarly for all the other situations in which relations among
LVs are being changed by processing the LVs one by one.

This patch also introduces LV_REMOVED internal LV status flag
to mark removed LVs so they're not processed further when we
iterate over collected list of LVs to be processed.

Previously, when we iterated directly over vg->lvs list to
process the LVs, we relied on the fact that once the LV is removed,
it is also removed from the vg->lvs list we're iterating over.
But that was incorrect as we shouldn't remove LVs from the list
during one iteration while we're iterating over that exact list
(dm_list_iterate_items safe can handle only one removal at
one iteration anyway, so it can't be used here).

1e65fdd9ba system_id: make new VGs read-only for old lvm versions
Previous versions of lvm will not obey the restrictions
imposed by the new system_id, and would allow such a VG
to be written.  So, a VG with a new system_id is further
changed to force previous lvm versions to treat it as
read-only.  This is done by removing the WRITE flag from
the metadata status line of these VGs, and putting a new
WRITE_LOCKED flag in the flags line of the metadata.

Versions of lvm that recognize WRITE_LOCKED, also obey the
new system_id.  For these lvm versions, WRITE_LOCKED is
identical to WRITE, and the rules associated with matching
system_id's are imposed.

A new VG lock_type field is also added that causes the same
WRITE/WRITE_LOCKED transformation when set.  A previous
version of lvm will also see a VG with lock_type as read-only.

Versions of lvm that recognize WRITE_LOCKED, must also obey
the lock_type setting.  Until the lock_type feature is added,
lvm will fail to read any VG with lock_type set and report an
error about an unsupported lock_type.  Once the lock_type
feature is added, lvm will allow VGs with lock_type to be
used according to the rules imposed by the lock_type.

When both system_id and lock_type settings are removed, a VG
is written with the old WRITE status flag, and without the
new WRITE_LOCKED flag.  This allows old versions of lvm to
use the VG as before.

bfbb5d269a systemid: Add ACCESS_NEEDS_SYSTEM_ID VG flag.
Set ACCESS_NEEDS_SYSTEM_ID VG status flag whenever there is
a non-lvm1 system_id set.  Prevents concurrent access from
older LVM2 versions.
Not set on VGs that bear a system_id only due to conversion
from lvm1 metadata.

979be63f25 mirrors: Fix checks for mirror/raid/pvmove LVs.
Try to enforce consistent macro usage along these lines:

lv_is_mirror - mirror that uses the original dm-raid1 implementation
               (segment type "mirror")
lv_is_mirror_type - also includes internal mirror image and log LVs

lv_is_raid - raid volume that uses the new dm-raid implementation
             (segment type "raid")
lv_is_raid_type - also includes internal raid image / log / metadata LVs

lv_is_mirrored - LV is mirrored using either kernel implementation
                 (excludes non-mirror modes like raid5 etc.)

lv_is_pvmove - internal pvmove volume

97be8b3482 cache: Code changes to allow creation of cache pools
This patch allows the creation and removal of cache pools.  Users are not
yet able to create cache LVs.  They are only able to define the space used
for the cache and its characteristics (chunk_size and cache mode ATM) by
creating the cache pool.

039bdad732 activation: flag temporary LVs internally
Add LV_TEMPORARY flag for LVs with limited existence during command
execution. Such LVs are temporary in way that they need to be activated,
some action done and then removed immediately. Such LVs are just like
any normal LV - the only difference is that they are removed during
LVM command execution. This is also the case for LVs representing
future pool metadata spare LVs which we need to initialize by using
the usual LV before they are declared as pool metadata spare.

We can optimize some other parts like udev to do a better job if
it knows that the LV is temporary and any processing on it is just
useless.

This flag is orthogonal to LV_NOSCAN flag introduced recently
as LV_NOSCAN flag is primarily used to mark an LV for the scanning
to be avoided before the zeroing of the device happens. The LV_TEMPORARY
flag makes a difference between a full-fledged LV visible in the system
and the LV just used as a temporary overlay for some action that needs to
be done on underlying PVs.

For example: lvcreate --thinpool POOL --zero n -L 1G vg

- first, the usual LV is created to do a clean up for pool metadata
  spare. The LV is activated, zeroed, deactivated.

- between "activated" and "zeroed" stage, the LV_NOSCAN flag is used
  to avoid any scanning in udev

- betwen "zeroed" and "deactivated" stage, we need to avoid the WATCH
  udev rule, but since the LV is just a usual LV, we can't make a
  difference. The LV_TEMPORARY internal LV flag helps here. If we
  create the LV with this flag, the DM_UDEV_DISABLE_DISK_RULES
  and DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES flag are set (just like as it is
  with "invisible" and non-top-level LVs) - udev is directed to
  skip WATCH rule use.

- if the LV_TEMPORARY flag was not used, there would normally be
  a WATCH event generated once the LV is closed after "zeroed"
  stage. This will make problems with immediated deactivation that
  follows.

7dc8c84b18 activation: add support for skipping activation of selected LVs
Also add -k/--setactivationskip y/n and -K/--ignoreactivationskip
options to lvcreate.

The --setactivationskip y sets the flag in metadata for an LV to
skip the LV during activation. Also, the newly created LV is not
activated.

Thin snapsots have this flag set automatically if not specified
directly by the --setactivationskip y/n option.

The --ignoreactivationskip overrides the activation skip flag set
in metadata for an LV (just for the run of the command - the flag
is not changed in metadata!)

A few examples for the lvcreate with the new options:

  (non-thin snap LV => skip flag not set in MDA + LV activated)
  raw/~ $ lvcreate -l1 vg
    Logical volume "lvol0" created
  raw/~ $ lvs -o lv_name,attr vg/lvol0
    LV    Attr
    lvol0 -wi-a----

  (non-thin snap LV + -ky => skip flag set in MDA + LV not activated)
  raw/~ $ lvcreate -l1 -ky vg
    Logical volume "lvol1" created
  raw/~ $ lvs -o lv_name,attr vg/lvol1
    LV    Attr
    lvol1 -wi------

  (non-thin snap LV + -ky + -K => skip flag set in MDA + LV activated)

    Logical volume "lvol2" created

  (thin snap LV => skip flag set in MDA (default behaviour) + LV not activated)
  raw/~ $ lvcreate -L100M -T vg/pool -V 1T -n thin_lv

2e0740f7ef RAID: Add writemostly/writebehind support for RAID1
'lvchange' is used to alter a RAID 1 logical volume's write-mostly and
write-behind characteristics.  The '--writemostly' parameter takes a
PV as an argument with an optional trailing character to specify whether
to set ('y'), unset ('n'), or toggle ('t') the value.  If no trailing
character is given, it will set the flag.
Synopsis:
        lvchange [--writemostly <PV>:{t|y|n}] [--writebehind <count>] vg/lv
Example:
        lvchange --writemostly /dev/sdb1:y --writebehind 512 vg/raid1_lv

The last character in the 'lv_attr' field is used to show whether a device
has the WriteMostly flag set.  It is signified with a 'w'.  If the device
has failed, the 'p'artial flag has priority.

Example ("nosync" raid1 with mismatch_cnt and writemostly):
[~]# lvs -a --segment vg
  LV                VG   Attr      #Str Type   SSize
  raid1             vg   Rwi---r-m    2 raid1  500.00m
  [raid1_rimage_0]  vg   Iwi---r--    1 linear 500.00m
  [raid1_rimage_1]  vg   Iwi---r-w    1 linear 500.00m
  [raid1_rmeta_0]   vg   ewi---r--    1 linear   4.00m
  [raid1_rmeta_1]   vg   ewi---r--    1 linear   4.00m

Example (raid1 with mismatch_cnt, writemostly - but failed drive):
[~]# lvs -a --segment vg
  LV                VG   Attr      #Str Type   SSize
  raid1             vg   rwi---r-p    2 raid1  500.00m
  [raid1_rimage_0]  vg   Iwi---r--    1 linear 500.00m
  [raid1_rimage_1]  vg   Iwi---r-p    1 linear 500.00m
  [raid1_rmeta_0]   vg   ewi---r--    1 linear   4.00m
  [raid1_rmeta_1]   vg   ewi---r-p    1 linear   4.00m

A new reportable field has been added for writebehind as well.  If
write-behind has not been set or the LV is not RAID1, the field will
be blank.
Example (writebehind is set):
[~]# lvs -a -o name,attr,writebehind vg
  LV            Attr      WBehind
  lv            rwi-a-r--     512
  [lv_rimage_0] iwi-aor-w
  [lv_rimage_1] iwi-aor--
  [lv_rmeta_0]  ewi-aor--
  [lv_rmeta_1]  ewi-aor--

Example (writebehind is not set):
[~]# lvs -a -o name,attr,writebehind vg
  LV            Attr      WBehind
  lv            rwi-a-r--
  [lv_rimage_0] iwi-aor-w
  [lv_rimage_1] iwi-aor--
  [lv_rmeta_0]  ewi-aor--
  [lv_rmeta_1]  ewi-aor--
