When we have some existing LV and this LV is being converted to
external origin - during the DM table manipulation there is a short
moment when the LV is being 'resumed' as 'read-only' volume
while still being live as 'rw' volume i.e. we could have had
a single thin LV active twice.
To avoid such weird scenarios of dual access to a same volume, we
just postpone a resume until a moment, where the existing volume
is already suspended thus no I/O can be in flight to such device.
Note: however there is slight catch - that we now have basically
a different 'risk' case where a resume of such i.e. new external
origin LV might fail and we are already in suspend tree state -
resolving error path in this situation is untrivial as well...
When activating origin and its thick snapshots, ensure the
origin's LV udev processing is finished first and after this
reactivate its snapshot so the udev can scan them afterwards.
This should fix the problems for users using UUID of such device
in their fstab and occasionaly mounted snapshot instead of origin LV.
Improve detection of VDO virtual size - so it's not reading VDO
metadata when VDO device is already active and instead we reuse
existing table line for knowing existing metadata size.
NOTE: if there is ever going to be added support for reduction
of VDO virtual size - this method will need to be reworked to
allow size difference only within 'extent_size' alignment.
Add very simplistic parser of vdo metadata to be able to obtain
logical_blocks stored within vdo metadata - as lvm2 may
submit smaller value due to internal aligment rules.
To avoid creation of mismatching table line - use this number
instead the one provided by lvm2.
Existing mechanism was not able to trace root volume issue.
Simplify the functionality by using simply using activated flag
and trace the dtree in reverse order.
When generating table line for cache target line,
the estimation of added arguments was incorrectly
calculated as the evaluation order of "?" is
made after "+".

Use different 'hint' size for dm_hash_create() call - so
when debug info about hash is printed we can recognize which
hash was in use.
This patch doesn't change actual used size since that is always
rounded to be power of 2 and >=16 - so as such is only a
help to developer.
We could eventually use 'name' arg, but since this would have changed
API and this patchset will be routed to libdm & stable - we will
just use this small trick.
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.
DM tree keeps track of created device while preloading a device tree.
When fail occures during such preload, it will now try to remove
all created and preloaded device. This makes it easier to maintain
stacking of device, since we do not need to check in-depth for
existance of all possible created devices during the failure.
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

When using caches with BIG pool size (>TB) there is required
to use relatively huge chunk size. Once the chunksize has
got over 1MiB - kernel cache target stopped writing such chunks
back on this if the migration_threshold remained on default 1MiB
(2048 sectors) size.
This patch ensure, DM layer will not let pass table line which
has not big enough migration threshold that can let pass
at least 8 chunks (independently of lvm2 metadata).
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.
This could be seen as continuation of
6cee8f1b06.
Some test maching with old udev system shows problem,
where udev 'jumps on' leg device after mirror target
releases its legs - since udev does not (in this old case) skips
such device from scanning - it opens device - and this prevent
leg device to be deactivated - effectively such device stays
'leaked' in DM table invisibly to lvm2 command.
So to 'combat' this issue - if the device has '_mimage' in its name,
the retry of deactivation is automatically assumed.
NOTE: wider impact is unexpected - as it's touching only old mirror
target which is nowadays replaced with 'raid'.
In case there will be some problem identified - probably both patches
should be reverted.
With older systems and udevs we don't have control over scanning of lvm2
internal devices - so far we set retry-removal only for top-level LVs,
but in occasional cases udev can be 'fast enough' to open device for
scanning and prevent removal of such device from DM table.
So to combat this case - try to pass 'retry' flag also for removal of
internal device so see how many races can go away with this simple
patch.
Note: patch is applied only to internal version of libdm so the external
API remains working in the old way for now.
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.)

When node loading fails, there is not much the caller can do,
since there is 'unknown' set of devices preloaded.
Only suspend during preload knows future precommitted 'metadata',
so it's non-trivial to drop 'preloaded' entries with any later call.
However dm tree tracks newly loaded entries - so in this case it
may simplify the recovery path by dropping preloaded entries so
they are not leaked in the DM table.
For better code reuse split _node_send_messages into commont
messaging part and separate _thin_pool_node_send_messages.
Patch makes it possible to better reuse common code for messaging
other targets.
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.
