MD's bitmaps can handle 2^21 regions at most. The RAID code has always
used a region_size of 1024 sectors. That means the size of a RAID LV was
limited to 1TiB. (The user can adjust the region_size when creating a
RAID LV, which can affect the maximum size.) Thus, creating, extending or
converting to a RAID LV greater than 1TiB would result in a failure to
load the new device-mapper table.
Again, the size of the RAID LV is not limited by how much space is allocated
for the metadata area, but by the limitations of the MD bitmap. Therefore,
we must adjust the 'region_size' to ensure that the number of regions does
not exceed the limit. I've added code to do this when extending a RAID LV
(which covers 'create' and 'extend' operations) and when up-converting -
specifically from linear to RAID1.
Don't try to issue discards to a missing PV to avoid segfault.
Prevent lvremove from removing LVs that have any part missing.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/857554
Failing to clear the LV_NOTSYNCED flag when converting a RAID1 LV to
linear can result in the flag being present after an upconvert - even
if the sync is performed when upconverting.
Mirrors do not allow upconverting if the LV has been created with --nosync.
We will enforce the same rule for RAID1. It isn't hugely critical, since
the portions that have been written will be copied over to the new device
identically from either of the existing images. However, the unwritten
sections may be different, causing the added image to be a hybrid of the
existing images.
Also, we are disallowing the addition of new images to a RAID1 LV that has
not completed the initial sync. This may be different from mirroring, but
that is due to the fact that the 'mirror' segment type "stacks" when adding
a new image and RAID1 does not. RAID1 will rebuild a newly added image
"inline" from the existant images, so they should be in-sync.
The "fedora-wait-storage.service" that the "lvm2-activation.service"
had as a dependency (which was fedora-specific solution anyway)
is obsolete now as this unit called "modprobe scsi_wait_scan"
which is not used anymore.
The "fedora-wait-storage.service" had "systemd-udev-settle" as
its dependency, so let's depend on this one directly now,
bypassing the out-dated "fedora-wait-storage.service".
Using 'activation/auto_activation_volume_list = [ "vg/lvol1" ]'.
Before this patch:
3 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg" now active
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Move Log Copy% Convert
lvol0 vg -wi----- 4.00m
lvol1 vg -wi-a--- 4.00m
lvol2 vg -wi-a--- 4.00m
lvol3 vg -wi-a--- 4.00m
(vg/lvol1 activated as it passes the list and all subsequent volumes too - wrong!)
With this patch:
1 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg" now active
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Move Log Copy% Convert
lvol0 vg -wi----- 4.00m
lvol1 vg -wi-a--- 4.00m
lvol2 vg -wi----- 4.00m
lvol3 vg -wi----- 4.00m
(only vg/lvol1 activated as it passes the list and no other - correct!)
Issuing a 'lvchange --resync <VG>/<RAID_LV>' had no effect. This is
because the code to handle RAID LVs was not present. This patch adds
the code that will clear the metadata areas of RAID LVs - causing them
to resync upon activation.
By changing the conditional for resyncing mirrors with core-logs a
bit, we can short-circuit the rest of the function for that case
and reduce the amount of indenting in the rest of the function.
This cleanup will simplify future patches aimed at properly handling
the resync of RAID LVs.
It is necessary when creating a RAID LV to clear the new metadata areas.
Failure to do so could result in a prepopulated bitmap that would cause
the new array to skip syncing portions of the array. It is a requirement
that the metadata LVs be activated and cleared in the process of creating.
However in test mode, this requirement should be lifted - no new LVs should
be created or written to.
Fix setvbuf code by closing and reopening stream before changing buffer.
But we need to review what this code is doing embedded inside a library
function rather than the simpler original form being run independently
at the top of main() by tools that need it.
Accept -q as the short form of --quiet.
Suppress non-essential standard output if -q is given twice.
Treat log/silent in lvm.conf as equivalent to -qq.
Review all log_print messages and change some to
log_print_unless_silent.
When silent, the following commands still produce output:
dumpconfig, lvdisplay, lvmdiskscan, lvs, pvck, pvdisplay,
pvs, version, vgcfgrestore -l, vgdisplay, vgs.
[Needs checking.]
Non-essential messages are shifted from log level 4 to log level 5
for syslog and lvm2_log_fn purposes.
This patch adds support for RAID10. It is not the default at this
stage. The user needs to specify '--type raid10' if they would like
RAID10 instead of stacked mirror over stripe.
Remove the limit for major and minor number arguments used while specifying
persistent numbers via -My --major <major> --minor <minor> option which
was set to 255 before. Follow the kernel limit instead which is 12 bits
for major and 20 bits for minor number (kernel >= 2.6 and LVM formats
that does not have FMT_RESTRICTED_LVIDS - so still keep the old limit
of 255 for lvm1 format).
Allowing people to add devices to a VG that has PVs missing helps
people avoid the inability to repair RAID LVs in certain cases.
For example, if a user creates a RAID 4/5/6 LV using all of the
available devices in a VG, there will be no spare devices to
repair the LV with if a device should fail. Further, because the
VG is missing a device, new devices cannot be added to allow the
repair. If 'vgreduce --removemissing' were attempted, the
"MISSING" PV could not be removed without also destroying the RAID
LV.
Allowing vgextend to operate solves the circular dependency.
When the PV is added by a vgextend operation, the sequence number is
incremented and the 'MISSING' flag is put on the PVs which are missing.
A regression introduced in 2.02.89 (11e520256b)
caused the lvm dumpconfig <node> to print out
the node as well as its subsequent siblings.
The information about "only_one" mode got lost.
Before this patch (just an example node):
# lvm dumpconfig global/use_lvmetad
use_lvmetad=1
thin_check_executable="/usr/sbin/thin_check"
thin_check_options="-q"
(...all nodes to the end of the section)
With this patch applied:
# lvm dumpconfig global/use_lvmetad
use_lvmetad=1
If a daemon (like lvmetad that is using common daemon-server code)
received a kill signal that was supposed to shut the daemon down,
a spurious message was issued: "Failed to handle a client connection".
This happened if the kill signal came just in the middle of waiting
for a client request in "select" - the request that was supposed to
be handled was blank at that moment of course.
Update lvchange to allow change of 'zero' flag for thinpool.
Add support for changing discard handling.
N.B. from/to ignore could be only changed for inactive pool.
Add arg support for discard.
Add discard ignore, nopassdown, passdown (=default) support.
Flags could be set per pool.
lvcreate [--discard {ignore|no_passdown|passdown}] vg/thinlv
When --sysinit -a ay is used with vg/lvchange and lvmetad is up and running,
we should skip manual activation as that would be a useless step - all volumes
are autoactivated once all the PVs for a VG are present.
If lvmetad is not active at the time of the vgchange --sysinit -a ay
call, the activation proceeds in standard 'manual' way.
This way, we can still have vg/lvchange --sysinit -a ay called
unconditionally in system initialization scripts no matter if lvmetad
is used or not.
Reducing a RAID 4/5/6 LV or extending it with a different number of
stripes is still not implemented. This patch covers the "simple" case
where the LV is extended with the same number of stripes as the orginal.
In process_each_pv() if we haven't yet scanned and the PV appears
to be an orphan, we must scan the other PVs looking for mdas that
reference it to find out what VG it is in.
1. If the PV has no mdas, we must scan.
2. If the PV has an mda that is not ignored we do not need to scan.
3. If the PV has an mda that is ignored, we do need to scan.
This patch fixes case 3.

If _alloc_parallel_area for raid devices chooses an area already used
up, it doesn't notice that it has no space left in it and leaves
later code trying to place a zero-length area into the LV.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/832596
The clmvd init script called "vgchange -aly" before to activate
all VGs in cluster environment. This activated all VGs, no matter
if it was clustered or not.
Auto activation for clustered VGs is not supported yet so the behaviour
of -aay is still the same as before for clustered VGs. However, for
non-clustered VGs, we need to check with the activation/auto_activation_volume_list
whether the VG/LV should be activated on boot or not.
One can use "lvcreate --aay" to have the newly created volume
activated or not activated based on the activation/auto_activation_volume_list
this way.
Note: -Z/--zero is not compatible with -aay, zeroing is not used in this case!
When using lvcreate -aay, a default warning message is also issued that zeroing
is not done.
Define auto_activation_handler that activates VGs/LVs automatically
based on the activation/auto_activation_volume_list (activating all
volumes by default if the list is not defined).
The autoactivation is done within the pvscan call in 69-dm-lvmetad.rules
that watches for udev events (device appearance/removal).
For now, this works for non-clustered and complete VGs only.
Normally, the 'vgchange -ay' activates all volume groups (that pass
the activation/volume_list filter if set).
This call can appear in two scenarios:
- system boot (so activation within a script in general)
- manual call on command line (so activaton on user's direct request)
For the former one, we would like to select which VGs should be actually
activated. One can define the list of VGs directly to do that. But that
would require the same list to be provided in all the scripts.
The 'vgchange -aay' will check for the activation/auto_activation_volume_list
in adition and it will activate only those VGs/LVs that pass this
filter (assuming all to be activated if the list is not defined - the
same logic we already have for activation/volume_list).
Init/boot scripts should use this form of activation primarily
(which, anyway, becomes only a fallback now with autoactivation done
on PV appearance in tandem with lvmetad in place).
Define an 'activation_handler' that gets called automatically on
PV appearance/disappearance while processing the lvmetad_pv_found
and lvmetad_pv_gone functions that are supposed to update the
lvmetad state based on PV availability state. For now, the actual
support is for PV appearance only, leaving room for PV disappearance
support as well (which is a more complex problem to solve as this
needs to count with possible device stack).
Add a new activation change mode - CHANGE_AAY exposed as
'--activate ay/-aay' argument ('activate automatically').
Factor out the vgchange activation functionality for use in other
tools (like pvscan...).
We're refererring to 'activation' all over the code and we're talking
about 'LVs being activated' all the time so let's use 'activation/activate'
everywhere for clarity and consistency (still providing the old
'available' keyword as a synonym for backward compatibility with
existing environments).
Update release_lv_segment_area not to discard any PV extents,
as it also gets used when moving extents between LVs.
Instead, call a new function release_and_discard_lv_segment_area() in
the two places where data should be discarded - lv_reduce() and
remove_mirrors_from_segments().
There's no need to have the device open RW while obtaining the readahead value.
The RW open used before caused the CHANGE udev event to be generated if the
WATCH udev rule was set for the underlying device (and that is normally the
case both for non-dm and dm devices by default).
This did not cause any problems before since we were not interested in
*underlying* devices. However, with upcoming changes (autoactivation), we're
watching for events on underlying devices marked as PVs and such a spurious
event could cause the autoactivation code to be triggered. So when trying
to deactivate the volume, we could end up with immediate activation just after
that because of the CHANGE event originated in the WATCH udev rule since the
underlying device was open RW during the deactivation process.
Though maybe a better solution would be to completely filter such spurious
events out of the autoactivation process somehow, it's still useful if there
are as least spurious events generated as possible in the system itself.
If the user specifies number in the range of [4G/1024, 4G>,
the used value would wrap around (32bit math).
So keep the math 64bit.
Note, using such large lvm.conf values is pointless with lvm2.
Support has many limitations and lots of FIXMEs inside,
however it makes initial task when user creates a separate LV for
thin pool data and thin metadata already usable, so let's enable
it for testing.
Easiest API:
lvconvert --chunksize XX --thinpool data_lv metadata_lv
More functionality extensions will follow up.
TODO: Code needs some rework since a lot of same code is getting copied.
When mirrors are up-converted, a transient mirror layer is put in so that
only the new devices are sync'ed. That transient layer must carry the tags
of the original mirror LV, otherwise it will fail to activate when activation
is regulated by lvm.conf:activation/volume_list. The conversion would then
fail.
The fix is to do exactly the same thing that is being done for linear ->
mirror converting (lib/metadata/mirror.c:_init_mirror_log()). We copy the
tags temporarily for the new LV and remove them after the activation.
Snapshots of RAID logical volumes are allowed (including "raid1"). However,
snapshots of "mirror" logical volumes has been disallowed due to unsolvable
issues inherent to the design. The fact that mirroring (dm-raid1.c) must
stop all I/O as the result of a failure and wait for userspace intervention
can lead to a circular dependency if userspace is simultaneously waiting for
snapshots (on mirrors) to make an I/O update before proceeding.
Various snapshot on mirror tests have been removed as a result.
Looking at the code in cmirrord/local.c, we can see the various different
request types handled in different ways. Some information that is non-changing
does not need to go around the cluster and can be short-circuited. For
example, once the cluster mirror is in-sync, it is pointless to continue
sending that query around the cluster. We can save network bandwidth and reply
directly back to the kernel. When it comes to status information, there are
two types 'TABLE' and 'INFO'. The 'TABLE' information never changes and
belongs to the group of requests that can be safely short-circuited. The
'STATUS' information can change - and will change if a device fails. Thus it
cannot be short-circuited, but this is exactly what was found. The 'STATUS'
information request was being short-circuited and therefore never reporting the
failure condition to anyone other than the "server" that experienced it
directly.
If two devices in an array failed, it was previously impossible to replace
just one of them. This patch allows for the replacement of some, but perhaps
not all, failed devices.
Thanks to agk for providing the patch that prevents resume from attempting
(and then failing) to create error devices which already exist; having been
created by a corresponding suspend operation.
The 'mirror' segtype and 'raid1' segtype both set the 'MIRRORED' flag.
However, due to differences in the way these device-mapper targets behave
'mirror' must be suspended with the 'noflush' option and 'raid1' does not
have to be.
This patch ensures that when the 'MIRRORED' flag is checked to see if
'noflush' is needed that it does not also set it for 'raid1' by mistake.
The logic for resuming the original and newly split LVs was not properly
done to handle situations where anything but the last device in the array
was split. It did not take into account the possible name collisions that
might occur when the original LV undergoes the shifting and renaming of its
sub-LVs.
When resizing thin pool - we need to use strip info from _tdata volume.
In future more generic solution will be necessary once we start to support
lvconvert (resize of stacked devices and stay properly aligned).
For now we just allow striped or linear LV so this code will work.
When given lvresize new size - round upward for stripes - unless we use % and
we are at the border of free extents.
This patch is not a complete fix and few more cases will need special care.
Libudev does not provide transactions when querying udev database - once we
get the list of block devices (devices/obtain_device_list_from_udev=1) and
we iterate over the list to get more detailed information about device node
and symlink names used etc., the device could be removed just in between we
get the list and put a query for more info. In this case, libudev returns
NULL value as the device does not exist anymore.
Recently, we've added a warning message to reveal such situations. However,
this could be misleading if the device is not related to the LVM action
we're just processing - the non-related block device could be removed in
parallel and this is not an error but a possible and normal operation.
(N.B. This "missing info" should not happen when devices are related to
the LVM action we're just processing since all such processing should be
synchronized with udev and the udev db must always be in consistent state
after the sync point. But we can't filter this situation out from others,
non-related devices, so we have to lower the message verbosity here for a
general solution.)
various dmeventd plug-ins into a new function called 'dmeventd_lvm2_command',
but the new function did not strip off the "_mlog" extentions that the
mirror plug-in had been doing. This created bug 794904 - failure to replace
devices in a redundant log.
The test suite did catch this scenario because it performs repair tests (mainly)
through the CLI and not dmeventd. It's also not easy to test because the test
itself will hang if the bug is encountered.
When vg_read fails, it internally unlocks VG if it's been locked,
so in error path we should skip unlock_vg for this case.
(user would see ugly internal warning)
Activation on remote node should be tried only if it is masked by tags
locally (like when hosttags enabled, IOW activate_lv_excl_local()
doesn't return error.)
Introduced change caused that lvchange -aey succeeded even if volume was
activated exclusively remotely.
Calling vgscan alone should reuse information from the lvmetad (if running).
The --cache option should initiate direct device scan and update lvmetad
appropriately (if running).
This is mainly for vgscan to behave consistently compared to pvscan.
locally or on more nodes while others are activated exclusively.
Current pvmove code can either use local mirror (for exclusive
activation) or cmirror (for clustered LVs).
Because the whole intenal pvmove LV is just segmented LV containing
segments of several top-level LVs, code cannot properly handle
situation if some segment need to be activated exclusively.
Previously, it wrongly activated exclusive LV on all nodes
(locing code allowed it) but now this is no lnger possible.
If there is exclusively activated LV, pvmove is only
possible if all affected LVs are aslo activated exclusively.
(Note that in non-exclusive mode pvmove still activates LVs
on other nodes during move.)
# lvchange -aly vg_test/lv1
# lvchange -aey vg_test/lv2
# pvmove -i 1 /dev/sdc
Error locking on node bar-01: Device or resource busy
Error locking on node bar-03: Volume is busy on another node
...
Failed to activate lv2
In this case we should allow to use local mirror, check for cmirror
should apply only for lvconvert/lvcreate.
Introduced in 2.02.86 by removing !(lv->status & ACTIVATE_EXCL).
(Partially workaround, it is minimalistic patch for now.)
Code adds better support for monitoring of thin pool devices.
update_pool_lv uses DMEVENTD_MONITOR_IGNORE to not manipulate with monitoring.
vgchange & lvchange are checking real thin pool device for existance
as we are using _tpool real device and visible LV pool device might not
be even active (_tpool is activated implicitely for any thin volume).
monitor_dev_for_events is another _lv_postorder like code it might be worth
to think about reusing it here - for now update the code to properly
monitory thin volume deps.
For unmonitoring add extra code to check the usage of thin pool - in case it's in use
unmonitoring of thin volume is skipped.
There are kernel drivers (smblk) which set '-1' as their device major number.
This number is listed in /proc/devices then - but the kernel itself is using
just 12 bits - thus device is accessible via 4095 - there is posted patch
for 3.4 to fix this behavior (0 for auto allocation was mean to be used).
However to still allow using such devices with older kernels add some code
to use same behavior - so cut 12 bits from the major number from /proc/devices.
For now use log_warn() - maybe the severity of the message could be lowered
to just verbose level.
Fix propagation of -e option - pass it via internal shell variable.
Fix parsing of /proc/mounts files (don't check for substrings).
as reported by O.Mangold with suggested patch:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-lvm/2012-February/msg00030.html
Properly pass arguments with spaces ("$@")
Add validation for YES and EXTOFF variable content.
When down-converting a RAID1 device, it is the last device that is extracted
and removed when the user does not specify a particular device. However,
when a device is specified (and it is not the last), the device is removed and
the remaining sub-LVs are "shifted down" to fill the hole. This cause problems
when resuming the LV because if the shifted devices were resumed (and thus
renamed) before the sub-LV being extracted, there would be a name conflict.
The solution is to resume the extracted sub-LVs first so that they can be
properly renamed preventing a possible conflict.
This addresses bug 801967.
Update a way we handle option passing - so we now support path and options
with space inside.
Fix dm name usage for thin pools with '-' in name.
Use new lvm.conf option thin_check_options to pass in options as string array.
Save some relocation entries and use directly char[].
Since we do not need yes more then 127 partitions per device, use just int8_t.
Move lvm_type_filter_destroy into local static function.
Never return unfinished toolcontext - since error path is hit on
various stages of initialization we cannot leave it partially uninitialized,
since we would need to spread many more test across the code for config_valid.
Instead return NULL and properly release udev library resources as well.
Fix regression in man page. The chunk size is in kilobyte units on command line
input though in the source code we work with sector size unit
so make it clear in the man page.
Update chunksize for thin pool in man page - it's max value is 1024M == 1G.
Fix warning range message to show proper max value.
If the lvcreate may decide some automagical values for a user,
try to keep the pool metadata size into 128MB range for optimal
perfomance (as suggested by Joe).
So if the pool metadata size and chunk_size were not specified,
try to select such values they would fit into 128MB size.
Use thin_dump --repair suggestion in log error message
and use just warning on deactivation path without repair info
(since node has been deactivated).
Also check whether there is not 16 args for thin_check configured.
Avoid using NULL pointers from udev. It seems like some older versions of udev
were improperly returning NULL in some case, so do not silently break here,
and give at least a warning to the user.
if the thin_check fail on thin pool - still return successful deactivation,
since lvremove would currently fail.
TODO: find some way to not run check with lvremove.
Use libdm callback to execute thin_check before activation
thin pool and after deactivation as well.
Supporting thin_check_executable which may pass in extra options for
the tool.
If no size was give the later added minimal size check efectively
disable this code. Also the argument for size now must be kept
in sector_size, so adding division by SECTOR_SIZE (moved into
a const expression)
If the thin pool has disabled zeroing (created with -Zn), we at least
clear initial 4KiB of such thin volume (provisions 1st block).
If lvcreate is executed with '-an' command will abort (same way like we for
normal LV - however for normal LV option -Zn may skip clearing completely,
for thin volumes this option is not supported (applies only for pools).
The OpenAIS checkpoint library is going away; therefore, cmirrord must
operate without it. The algorithms the handle the timing of when to send
a checkpoint, the determination of what to send, and which ongoing cluster
requests are relevent with respect to the checkpoints are unaffected. We
need only replace the functions that actually perform the storing/transmitting
and retrieving/receiving of the checkpoint data. Rather than store the
checkpoint data in an OpenAIS checkpoint file, we simply transmit it along
with the message that notifies the incoming node that the checkpoint is
ready.
Drop whole buffer clearing (most messages at <100 bytes).
Just make sure we have always \0 terminated string for strlen() operations.
(before for PIPE_BUF sized messages this was not set).
Addressing somewhat tricky bug here.
Since stdin,stdout,stderr were closed it's been occasionally possible to
see some unexpected messages to be flowing into a clvmd and generating some
randomly sized allocation of many megabytes. Since the message was not
being generated by standard send_message() construction, after some more
testing it apperead to be a debug log message - thus something has flown
to local socket opened on strandard out descriptor.
To fix the issue - use standard file descriptor duplication code for daemons.
For making easier debugging of polling daemon - developer might want to recompile
without modifition of standard file descriptors.
This could be seen as some sort of simple validation - it's not easy to
recognize a valid message for now - but we definitely do not want to
allocate a lot of megabytes in clvmd memory locked daemon when broken
message gets in.
Size of 8000 is just selected for now - possibly there could be much
lower value put in.
Using report_type_t for bitmask is not correct, since we have not defined types
for all bit combinations - so switching to unsigned type, since values of
report_type_t enum are unsigned.
The code fail to account for the case where we just need a single device
in a RAID 4/5/6 array. There is no good way to tell the allocation functions
that we don't need parity devices when we are allocating just a single device.
So, I've used a bit of a hack. If we are allocating an area_count that is <=
the parity count, then we can assume we are simply allocating a replacement
device (i.e. no need to include parity devices in the calculations). This
should make sense in most cases. If we need to allocate replacement devices
due to failure (or moving), we will never allocate more than the parity count;
or we would cause the array to become unusable. If we are creating a new device,
we should always create more stripes than parity devices.
/etc/tmpfiles.d directory holds configuration files for temporary/volatile
files and directories that should be automatically managed. For example,
if we have some parts of the fs hierarchy on tmpfs, we'd like to recreate
some files or directories on every boot so they're always prepared for use.
Systemd can read such configuration files. For now, the lock and run directory
are the ones that are most probably placed on tmpfs. If this is the case, we
can install the configuration by 'make install_tmpfiles_configuration'.
Read lvm.conf setting for monitoring for each command. So we should not
activate monitoring if the default compilation is set to monitor during
lvconvert commnads.
Patch also removes check for clustered VG and allows to disable monitoring
for clustered VG with the assumption, the problem with monitoring and dmeventd
flag passing for INGNORE is already fixed.
It was not possible to pass down the DM_[FORCE|NO]SYNC flags to
'dm_tree_node_add_raid_target'. This meant that converting to 'raid1' from
'mirror' would cause a full resync. (It also meant that '--nosync' was
ineffective when creating a 'raid1' LV.)
I've taken the 'reserved' parameter in 'dm_tree_node_add_raid_target' and
used it for the "flags" parameter. Now it is possible to pass the sync
flags and any other flags that may come up.
Move commod code to destroy orphan VG into free_orphan_vg() function.
Use orphan vgmem for creation of PV lists.
Remove some free_pv_fid() calls (FIXME: check all of them)
FIXME: Check whether we could merge release_vg back again for all VGs.
Count number of error and existing areas and if there is no existing area
for the LV avoid its activation.
Always disable partial activatio for thin volumes.
For mirrors currently put in hack to let it pass with a special name
since current mirror code needs to activate such LV during some operations.
For reading % of mapped size of thin volume use as origin for
old style snapshot '-real' device needs to be queried.
Fix log_error report given for lvs -a in this case.
Failure to do so results in "Performing unsafe table load while X device(s) are
known to be suspended" errors. While fixing the problem in this way works and
is consistent with the way the mirror segment type does it, it would be nice
to find a solution that uses the generic suspend/resume calls.
Also included in this check-in are additions to the test suite that perform
conversions on RAID LVs under a snapshot. These tests are disabled for the
time being due to a kernel bug that is yet to be tracked down.
Similar to the "mirror" segment type's log device, _add_dev_to_dtree should
be called and not _add_lv_to_dtree when adding metadata sub-LVs to the deptree.
Since _add_lv_to_dtree was being called, 'origin_only' could be set if a
snapshot sits on top of the RAID device. This would cause the actual device
that needed to be added to be skipped in favor of the non-existant device,
"<foo>-real".
