df390f1799 Major pvmove fix to issue ioctls in the correct order when multiple LVs
are affected by the move.  (Currently it's possible for I/O to become
trapped between suspended devices amongst other problems.

The current fix was selected so as to minimise the testing surface.  I
hope eventually to replace it with a cleaner one that extends the
deptree code.

Some lvconvert scenarios still suffer from related problems.

9cda028a96 clean up critical section patch 2011-04-28 20:29:59 +00:00

b1bcff7424 Critical section
New strategy for memory locking to decrease the number of call to
to un/lock memory when processing critical lvm functions.

Introducing functions for critical section.

Inside the critical section - memory is always locked.
When leaving the critical section, the memory stays locked
until memlock_unlock() is called - this happens with
sync_local_dev_names() and sync_dev_names() function call.

memlock_reset() is needed to reset locking numbers after fork
(polldaemon).

The patch itself is mostly rename:

memlock_inc  -> critical_section_inc
memlock_dec  -> critical_section_dec
memlock      -> critical_section

Daemons (clmvd, dmevent) are using memlock_daemon_inc&dec
(mlockall()) thus they will never release or relock memory they've
already locked memory.

Macros sync_local_dev_names() and sync_dev_names() are functions.
It's better for debugging - and also we do not need to add memlock.h
to locking.h header (for memlock_unlock() prototyp).

18b82048e4 mlockall() -> mlock()
This patch adds a new implementation of locking function instead
of mlockall() that may lock way too much memory (>100MB).
New function instead uses mlock() system call and selectively locks
memory areas from /proc/self/maps trying to avoid locking areas
unused during lock-ed state.

Patch also adds struct cmd_context to all memlock() calls to have
access to configuration.

For backward compatibility functionality of mlockall()
is preserved with "activation/use_mlockall" flag.

As a simple check, locking and unlocking counts the amount of memory
and compares whether values are matching.

4514bdcfa2 Fix another bug in memlock handling, this time the "global" dmeventd memlock
was preventing device scans in lvconvert --repair running from inside dmeventd.
