97d36d5750 thin: check and use layered origin lv
Code needs to check if the layer origin device is suspended,
It's valid to create  thinvolume snapshot of thinvolume which is also
used as an old-style snapshot. In this case we need to check -real
is suspended.

When adding origin_only - add only layer thin volume.
(in case it's also old-snapshot add only -real device)

925701d9f3 thin: write back when command successfully finished
Remove backup() call from update_pool_lv() as it's been there
duplicated and preperly order backup() call after lvresize,
so there is just one such call.

42881c8877 thin: send messages to active pool
If the thin pool is known to be active, messages can be passed
to the pool even when the created thin volume is not going to be
activated.

So we do not need to stack large list of message and validate
and catch creation errors earlier in this case.

Replace the test for valid activation combination with simpler list of
deactivation combinations.

5ed7d0cf1d dumpconfig: add --mergedconfig option
Normally, the lvm dumpconfig processes only the configuration tree
that is at the top of the cascade. Considering the cascade is:

  CONFIG_STRING -> CONFIG_PROFILE -> CONFIG_MERGED_FILES/CONFIG_FILE

...then:

  (dumpconfig of lvm.conf only)
  raw/~ $ lvm dumpconfig allocation
  allocation {
	  maximise_cling=1
	  mirror_logs_require_separate_pvs=0
	  thin_pool_metadata_require_separate_pvs=0
	  thin_pool_chunk_size=64
  }

  (dumpconfig of selected profile configuration only)
  raw/~ $ lvm dumpconfig --profile test allocation
  allocation {
	  thin_pool_chunk_size=8
	  thin_pool_discards="passdown"
	  thin_pool_zero=1
  }

  (dumpconfig of given --config configuration only)
  raw/~ $ lvm dumpconfig --config 'allocation{thin_pool_chunk_size=16}' allocation
  allocation {
	  thin_pool_chunk_size=16
  }

The --mergedconfig option causes the configuration cascade to be
merged before processing it with dumpconfig:

  (dumpconfig of merged selected profile and lvm.conf)
  raw/~ $ lvm dumpconfig --profile test allocation --mergedconfig
  allocation {
	  maximise_cling=1
	  thin_pool_zero=1
	  thin_pool_discards="passdown"
	  mirror_logs_require_separate_pvs=0
	  thin_pool_metadata_require_separate_pvs=0
	  thin_pool_chunk_size=8
  }

  (dumpconfig merged given --config and selected profile and lvm.conf)
  raw/~ $ lvm dumpconfig --profile test --config 'allocation{thin_pool_chunk_size=16}' allocation --mergedconfig
  allocation {
	  maximise_cling=1
	  thin_pool_zero=1
	  thin_pool_discards="passdown"
	  mirror_logs_require_separate_pvs=0
	  thin_pool_metadata_require_separate_pvs=0
	  thin_pool_chunk_size=16
  }

Hence with the --mergedconfig, we are able to see the
configuration that is actually used when processing any
LVM command while using any combination of --config/--profile
options together with lvm.conf file.

a6d13308ec RAID/MIRROR: Honor mirror_segtype_default when upconverting linear LVs

the segment type ("--type mirror" vs "--type raid1"), the "mirror"
segment type would be chosen without consulting the 'default_mirror_segtype'

which should be used if left unspecified.

966d4f36d7 filter-mpath: detect partitions of mpath components
We use mpath filtering (enabled by devices/multipath_component_detection=1
lvm.conf setting) to avoid a situation in which we could end up with
duplicate PVs found. We need to filter out the mpath components and
use only the top-level multipath mapping instead for PV scans.

However, if the there are partitions on multipath components, we need
to filter out these partitions. This patch fixes it so those
partitions found on multipath components are filtered as well.

For example, let's consider following configuration:
The sda and sdb are mpath components, sda1 and sdb1 the partitions
on these components, mpath-test the mpath mapping and mpath-test1
the partition mapping - created automatically by kpartx right
after mpath-test creation. The PV resides on top.

       (LVM PV)
          |
      mpath-test1
          |
      mpath-test
          |
sda1 ---------- sdb1
   \ |        |/
    sda      sdb

E.g. for sda1 and sdb1, the code will detect this and it skips
the partition that belongs to the multipath component:
  <snippet from the log>
    #filters/filter-mpath.c:156         /dev/sda1: Device is a partition, using primary device /dev/sda for mpath component detection
    130 #ioctl/libdm-iface.c:1724         dm status   (253:2) OF[16384](*1)
    131 #filters/filter-mpath.c:196         /dev/sda1: Skipping mpath component device
  </snippet from the log>

Othewise, we'd see the same PV label on sda1/sdb1 and mpath-test1
at the same time ending up with "Duplicate PV found...".

06ac797f42 Clean-up: Replace 'lv_is_active' with more correct/specific variants
There are places where 'lv_is_active' was being used where it was
more correct to use 'lv_is_active_locally'.  For example, when checking
for the existance of a kernel instance before asking for its status.
Most of the time these would work correctly.  (RAID is only allowed on
non-clustered VGs at the moment, which means that 'lv_is_active' and
'lv_is_active_locally' would give the same result.)  However, it is
more correct to use the proper variant and it helps with future
scenarios where targets might be allowed exclusively (or clustered) in
a cluster VG.

8ad7865b42 Fix alignment of PV data area if detected alignment less than 1 MB
This fixes a long standing regression since LVM2 2.02.74 (commit 4efb1d9c,
"Update heuristic used for default and detected data alignment.")

The default PE alignment could be used (via MAX()) even if it was
determined that the device's MD stripe width, or minimal_io_size or
optimal_io_size were not factors of the default PE alignment (either 64K
or the newer default of 1MB, etc).  This bug would manifest if the
default PE alignment was larger than the overriding hint that the
device provided (e.g. default of 1MB vs optimal_io_size of 768K).

4407133113 toolcontext: check dm version lazily for udev_fallback setting
Setting the cmd->default_settings.udev_fallback also requires DM
driver version check. However, this caused useless mapper/control
access with ioctl if not needed actually. For example if we're not
using activation code, we don't need to know the udev_fallback as
there's no node and symlink processing.

For example, this premature mapper/control access caused problems
when using lvm2app even when no activation happens - there are
situations in which we don't need to use mapper/control, but still
need some of the lvm2app functionality. This is also the case for
lvm2-activation systemd generator which just needs to look at the
lvm2 configuration, but it shouldn't touch mapper/control.

f84f12a6a3 snapshot: rework cluster creation and removal
Support for exclusive activation of snapshots revealed some problems.

When snapshot is created, COW LV is activated first (for clearing) and
then it's transformed into snapshot's COW LV, but it has left the lock
for such LV active in cluster and this lock could not have been removed
from dlm, unless snapshot has been removed within same dlm session.

If the user tried to remove snapshot after rebooting node, the lock was
missing, and COW LV could not have been detached.

Patch modifes the approach in this way:

Always deactivate COW LV for clustered vg  after clearing (so it's
activated again via imlicit snapshot activation rule when snapshot is activated).

When snapshot is removed, activate COW LV as independend LV, so the lock
will exist for such LV, but only when the snapshot is active.

Also add test case for testing snapshot removal after cluster reboot.

d51b7e5404 clvmd: avoid pretesting of dev availability
Patch fixes hidden problem with lvm metadata caching.

When the pretest was made, only the commited data have been cached back
since the call lv_info_by_lvid() triggers mda read operation.
However call of lv_suspend_if_active() also reads precommited metadata.
The problem is visible in this sequence of calls:

vg_write(), suspend_lv(), vg_commit(), resume_lv()

which may end with leaving outdated mda in lvm cache, since vg_write()
drops cached metadata and vg_commit() only transforms precommited
to commited metadata, but in the case of pretesting we have
no precommited mda available so the cache will continue to use
old metadata. This happens, when suspend LV is inactive.

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--

ff64e3500f RAID: Add scrubbing support for RAID LVs
New options to 'lvchange' allow users to scrub their RAID LVs.
Synopsis:
	lvchange --syncaction {check|repair} vg/raid_lv

RAID scrubbing is the process of reading all the data and parity blocks in
an array and checking to see whether they are coherent.  'lvchange' can
now initaite the two scrubbing operations: "check" and "repair".  "check"
will go over the array and recored the number of discrepancies but not
repair them.  "repair" will correct the discrepancies as it finds them.

'lvchange --syncaction repair vg/raid_lv' is not to be confused with
'lvconvert --repair vg/raid_lv'.  The former initiates a background
synchronization operation on the array, while the latter is designed to
repair/replace failed devices in a mirror or RAID logical volume.

Additional reporting has been added for 'lvs' to support the new
operations.  Two new printable fields (which are not printed by
default) have been added: "syncaction" and "mismatches".  These
can be accessed using the '-o' option to 'lvs', like:
	lvs -o +syncaction,mismatches vg/lv
"syncaction" will print the current synchronization operation that the
RAID volume is performing.  It can be one of the following:
        - idle:   All sync operations complete (doing nothing)
        - resync: Initializing an array or recovering after a machine failure
        - recover: Replacing a device in the array
        - check: Looking for array inconsistencies
        - repair: Looking for and repairing inconsistencies
The "mismatches" field with print the number of descrepancies found during
a check or repair operation.

The 'Cpy%Sync' field already available to 'lvs' will print the progress
of any of the above syncactions, including check and repair.

Finally, the lv_attr field has changed to accomadate the scrubbing operations
as well.  The role of the 'p'artial character in the lv_attr report field
as expanded.  "Partial" is really an indicator for the health of a
logical volume and it makes sense to extend this include other health
indicators as well, specifically:
        'm'ismatches:  Indicates that there are discrepancies in a RAID
                       LV.  This character is shown after a scrubbing
                       operation has detected that portions of the RAID
                       are not coherent.
        'r'efresh   :  Indicates that a device in a RAID array has suffered
                       a failure and the kernel regards it as failed -
                       even though LVM can read the device label and
                       considers the device to be ok.  The LV should be
                       'r'efreshed to notify the kernel that the device is
                       now available, or the device should be 'r'eplaced
                       if it is suspected of failing.

32ae07cef1 pv_write: clean up non-orphan format1 PV write
...to not pollute the common and format-independent code in the
abstraction layer above.

The format1 pv_write has common code for writing metadata and
PV header by calling the "write_disks" fn and when rewriting
the header itself only (e.g. just for the purpose of changing
the PV UUID) during the pvchange operation, we had to tweak
this functionality for the format1 case and we had to assign
the PV the orphan state temporarily.

This patch removes the need for this format1 tweak and it calls
the write_disks with appropriate flag indicating whether this is
a PV write call or a VG write call, allowing for metatada update
for the latter one.

Also, a side effect of the former tweak was that it effectively
invalidated the cache (even for the non-format1 PVs) as we
assigned it the orphan state temporarily just for the format1
PV write to pass.

Also, that tweak made it difficult to directly detect whether
a PV was part of a VG or not because the state was incorrect.

Also, it's not necessary to backup and restore some PV fields
when doing a PV write:

  orig_pe_size = pv_pe_size(pv);
  orig_pe_start = pv_pe_start(pv);
  orig_pe_count = pv_pe_count(pv);
  ...
  pv_write(pv)
  ...
  pv->pe_size = orig_pe_size;
  pv->pe_start = orig_pe_start;
  pv->pe_count = orig_pe_count;

...this is already done by the layer below itself (the _format1_pv_write fn).

So let's have this cleaned up so we don't need to be bothered
about any 'format1 special case for pv_write' anymore.

Add basic support for converting LV into an external origin volume.

Syntax:

lvconvert --thinpool vg/pool  --originname renamed_origin -T origin

It will convert volume  'origin' into a thin volume, which will
use 'renamed_origin' as an external read-only origin.
All read/write into origin will go via 'pool'.

renamed_origin volume is read-only volume, that could be activated
only in read-only mode, and cannot be modified.

bbc6378b73 RAID: Make 'lvchange --refresh' restore transiently failed RAID PVs
A new function (dm_tree_node_force_identical_table_reload) was added to
avoid the suppression of identical table reloads.  This allows RAID LVs
to reload the on-disk superblock information that contains which devices
have failed and the bitmaps.  If the failed device has returned, this has
the effect of restoring the device and initiating recovery.  Without this
patch, the user had to completely deactivate their RAID LV and re-activate
it in order to restore the failed device.  Now they simply need to
suspend and resume (which is done by 'lvchange --refresh').

The identical table suppression is only avoided if the LV is not PARTAIL
(i.e. all of it's devices can be seen and read by LVM) and the kernel
status of the array contains failed devices.  In other words, the function
will only be called in the case where we may have success in restoring
a failed device in the array.

3ab46449f4 vgimport: Allow '--force' to import VGs with missing PVs.
When there are missing PVs in a volume group, most operations that alter
the LVM metadata are disallowed.  It turns out that 'vgimport' is one of
those disallowed operations.  This is bad because it creates a circular
dependency.  'vgimport' will complain that the VG is inconsistent and that
'vgreduce --removemissing' must be run.  However, 'vgreduce' cannot be run
because it has not been imported.  Therefore, 'vgimport' must be one of
the operations allowed to change the metadata when PVs are missing.  The
'--force' option is the way to make 'vgimport' happen in spite of the
missing PVs.

303e86adc8 pvcreate: fix alignment to incorporate alignment offset if PV has 0 MDAs
If zero metadata copies are used, there's no further recalculation of
PV alignment that happens when adding metadata areas to the PV and
which actually calculates the alignment correctly as a matter of fact.
So fix this for "PV without MDA" case as well.

Before this patch:
[1] raw/~ # pvcreate --dataalignment 8m --dataalignmentoffset 4m
--metadatacopies 1 /dev/sda
  Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
[1] raw/~ # pvs -o pv_name,pe_start
  PV         1st PE
  /dev/sda    12.00m
[1] raw/~ # pvcreate --dataalignment 8m --dataalignmentoffset 4m
--metadatacopies 0 /dev/sda
  Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
[1] raw/~ # pvs -o pv_name,pe_start
  PV         1st PE
  /dev/sda     8.00m

After this patch:
[1] raw/~ # pvcreate --dataalignment 8m --dataalignmentoffset 4m
--metadatacopies 1 /dev/sda
  Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
[1] raw/~ # pvs -o pv_name,pe_start
  PV         1st PE
  /dev/sda    12.00m
[1] raw/~ # pvcreate --dataalignment 8m --dataalignmentoffset 4m
--metadatacopies 0 /dev/sda
  Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
[1] raw/~ # pvs -o pv_name,pe_start
  PV         1st PE
  /dev/sda    12.00m

Also, remove a superfluous condition "pv->pe_start < pv->pe_align" in:
  if (pe_start == PV_PE_START_CALC && pv->pe_start < pv->pe_align)
    pv->pe_start = pv->pe_align ...
This part of the condition is not reachable as with the PV_PE_START_CALC,
we always have pv->pe_start set to 0 from the PV struct initialisation
(...the pv->pe_start value is just being calculated).

bd0ee420b5 RAID: Allow remove/replace of sub-LVs composed of error segments.
When a device fails, we may wish to replace those segments with an
error segment.  (Like when a 'vgreduce --removemissing' removes a
failed device that happens to be a RAID image/meta.)  We are then left
with images that we will eventually want to remove or replace.

This patch allows us to pull out these virtual "error" sub-LVs.  This
allows a user to 'lvconvert -m -1 vg/lv' to extract the bad sub-LVs.
Sub-LVs with error segments are considered for extraction before other
possible devices so that good devices are not accidentally removed.

This patch also adds the ability to replace RAID images that contain error
segments.  The user will still be unable to run 'lvconvert --replace'
because there is no way to address the 'error' segment (i.e. no PV
that it is associated with).  However, 'lvconvert --repair' can be
used to replace the image's error segment with a new PV.  This is also
the most appropriate way to do it, since the LV will continue to be
reported as 'partial'.

845852d6b4 RAID: Make 'vgreduce --removemissing' work with RAID LVs
Currently it is impossible to remove a failed PV which has a RAID LV
on it.  This patch fixes the issue by replacing the failed PV with an
'error' segment within the affected sub-LVs.  Once there is no longer
a RAID LV using the PV, it can be removed.

Most often, it is better to replace a failed RAID device with a spare.
(You can use 'lvconvert --repair <vg>/<LV>' to accomplish that.)
However, if there are no spares in the volume group and none will be
added, it is useful to be able to removed the failed device.

Following patches address the ability to perform 'lvconvert' operations
on RAID LVs that contain sub-LVs composed of 'error' segments.
