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.
As we start refactoring the code to break dependencies (see doc/refactoring.txt),
I want us to use full paths in the includes (eg, #include "base/data-struct/list.h").
This makes it more obvious when we're breaking abstraction boundaries, eg, including a file in
metadata/ from base/
Currently lvm2app properties have the following structure:
typedef struct lvm_property_value {
uint32_t is_settable:1;
uint32_t is_string:1;
uint32_t is_integer:1;
uint32_t is_valid:1;
uint32_t padding:28;
union {
const char *string;
uint64_t integer;
} value;
} lvm_property_value_t;
which assumes that numerical values were in the range of 0 to 2**64-1. However,
some of the properties were 'signed', like LV major/minor numbers and some
reserved values for properties that represent percentages. Thus when the
values were retrieved they were in two's complement notation. So for a -1
major number the API user would get a value of 18446744073709551615. The
API user could cast the returned value to an int64_t to handle this, but that
requires the API developer to look at the source code and determine when it
should be done.
This change modifies the return property structure to:
typedef struct lvm_property_value {
uint32_t is_settable:1;
uint32_t is_string:1;
uint32_t is_integer:1;
uint32_t is_valid:1;
uint32_t is_signed:1;
uint32_t padding:27;
union {
const char *string;
uint64_t integer;
int64_t signed_integer;
} value;
} lvm_property_value_t;
With this addition the API user can interrogate that the value is numerical,
(is_integer = 1) and subsequently check if it's signed (is_signed = 1) too.
If signed, then the API developer should use the union's signed_integer to
avoid casting.
This change maintains backwards compatibility as the structure size remains
unchanged and integer value remains unchanged. Only the additional bit
taken from the pad is utilized.

The list of strings is used quite frequently and we'd like to reuse
this simple structure for report selection support too. Make it part
of libdevmapper for general reuse throughout the code.
This also simplifies the LVM code a bit since we don't need to
include and manage lvm-types.h anymore (the string list was the
only structure defined there).
Add a PV create which takes a paramters object that
has get/set method to configure PV creation.
Current get/set operations include:
- size
- pvmetadatacopies
- pvmetadatasize
- data_alignment
- data_alignment_offset
- zero
