Check and prevent starting another snapshot merge before
exiting merging is finished.
TODO: we can possibly implement smarter logic to drop existing
merging and start a new one.
Correct reported message when thin snapshot has been already merged.
So lvm2 is no longer reporting "Mergins of snapshot X will occur..."
(even with swapped names).
Since both lvcreate and lvconvert needs to check for same
type of allowed origin for snapshot - move the code into
a single function.
This way we also fix several inconsitencies where snapshot
has been allowed by mistake either through lvcreate or
lvconvert path.
Do not allow to take snapshot of mirror/raid leg or log or metadata LV.
This was actually never supported, but user was able to create it,
and this put device stack in hardly fixable state (needs manual work).
This prevents such creation to pass.
Also improve validation when recreating snapshot volume type
from origin and COW volume.
lvm2 warned about zeroing and too big chunksize (>=512KiB), but
only during lvconvert, so lvcreate was creating thin-pools
without any warning about possible slowness of thin provisioning
because of zeroing.
When raid leg rimage device is marked as 'D'ead by mdcore,
lvm2 was not able to replace such device with allocate policy,
as device has not appared as missing.
Add detection of transiently failing devices.
Unless a change of the regionsize is requested via "lvconvert -R N ...",
keep the region size when the number of images changes in a raid1 LV.

Resolves: rhbz1443705
lvchange/lvconvert operations that do not require the LV
to already be active need to acquire a transient LV lock
before changing/converting the LV to ensure the LV is not
active on another host. If the LV is already active,
a persistent LV lock already exists on the host and the
transient LV lock request is a no-op.
Some lvmlockd locks in lvchange were lost in the cmd def
changes. The lvmlockd locks in lvconvert seem to have
been missed from the start.
As now we can properly recognize all paramerters for pool creation,
we may drop PASS_ARG_ defines and rely on '_UNSELECTED' or 0 entries
as being those without user given args.
When setting are not given on command line - 'update' function
fill them from profiles or configuration. For this 'profile' arg
was needed to be passed around and since 'VG' itself is not needed,
it's been all replaced with 'cmd, profile, extents_size' args.
Reuse same code for getting/setting cache parameters with lvcreate.
So there is single one place how to get vars from profiles and configs.
Variables declarations are moved to start of function and
there is no need to initialize them as they are always
defined by functions get_cache_params() and get_pool_params().
Fix missing reset of '*settings' pointer when no args were given.
Handle cache_chunk settings like all other settings, so it is properly
updated only with non-zero settings and the existing cache-pool
chunk_size is not being reconfigured.
Split-off patch that just replaces returns with 'goto bad'
so there is single place to release policy_settings.
In the next patch we will start to use some shared
function call between lvconvert and lvcreate
(effectively restoring previous logic which has got lost).
To more easily recognize unselected state from select '0' state
add new 'THIN_ZERO_UNSELECTED' enum.
Same applies to THIN_DISCARDS_UNSELECTED.
For those we no longer need to use PASS_ARG_ZERO or PASS_ARG_DISCARDS.
Splitting off an image LV of a 2-legged
raid1 LV causes loss of resilience.
Ask user to avoid uninformed loss of all resilience.
Don't ask for N > 2 legged raid1 LVs.
Adjust tests.
Splitting off an image LV of a 2-legged raid1 LV tracking changes
causes loosing partial resilience for any newly written data set.
Full resilience will be provided again after the split off image LV
got merged back in and the new data set got fully synchronized.
Reason being that the data is only stored on the remaining single
writable image during the split.
Ask user to avoid uninformed loss of such partial resilience.
Don't ask for N > 2 legged raid1 LVs.
Like opt and val arrays in previous commit, combine duplicate
arrays for lv types and props in command.c and lvmcmdline.c.
Also move the command_names array to be defined in command.c
so it's consistent with the others.
Fixes commit 286d39ee3c, which was correct except
for a reversed strstr. Now uses strchr, and modifies
a copy of the name so the original argv is preserved.
When requesting a regionsize change during conversions, check
for constraints or the command may fail in the kernel n case
the region size is too smalle or too large thus leaving any
new SubLVs behind.

In order to support striped raid5/6/10 LV reshaping (change
of LV type, stripesize or number of legs), this patch
introduces infrastructure prerequisites to be used
by raid_manip.c extensions in followup patches.
This base is needed for allocation of out-of-place
reshape space required by the MD raid personalities to
avoid writing over data in-place when reading off the
current RAID layout or number of legs and writing out
the new layout or to a different number of legs
(i.e. restripe)
Changes:
- add members reshape_len to 'struct lv_segment' to store
out-of-place reshape length per component rimage
- add member data_copies to struct lv_segment
to support more than 2 raid10 data copies
- make alloc_lv_segment() aware of both reshape_len and data_copies
- adjust all alloc_lv_segment() callers to the new API
- add functions to retrieve the current data offset (needed for
out-of-place reshaping space allocation) and the devices count
from the kernel
- make libdm deptree code aware of reshape_len
- add LV flags for disk add/remove reshaping
- support import/export of the new 'struct lv_segment' members
- enhance lv_extend/_lv_reduce to cope with reshape_len
- add seg_is_*/segtype_is_* macros related to reshaping
- add target version check for reshaping
- grow rebuilds/writemostly bitmaps to 246 bit to support kernel maximal
- enhance libdm deptree code to support data_offset (out-of-place reshaping)
and delta_disk (legs add/remove reshaping) target arguments

For this syntax:
lvconvert --thinpool LV1 --poolmetadata LV2
lvconvert --cachepool LV1 --poolmetadata LV2
Restore the metadata swapping behavior in addition to
the pool creation behavior. When LV1 is already a pool,
the metadata LV will be swapped with LV2.
When LV1 is not a pool, it will be converted to a
pool using the specified LV for metadata.
This syntax is no longer advertised because of the
ambiguous behavior. The primary syntaxes for pool
creation and metadata swapping will be the advertised
methods.
The old ad hoc arg parsing when combining a split snapshot
allowed the first lv to have a vgname, but not the second.
Since lvconvert now uses the standard arg parsing in
process_each_lv(), the old one-off behavior requires a
work around.
This reverts commit 717363bb94.
These alternate forms for swapping metadata cannot be
distinguished from the command for creating a pool.
If we were to add these alternate forms for swapping
metadata, we would need to overload the pool creation
command defs, making those definitions ambiguous.
Change run time access to the command_name struct
cmd->cname instead of indirectly through
cmd->command->cname. This removes the two run time
fields from struct command.
All lvconvert functionality has been moved out of the
previous monolithic lvconvert code, except conversions
related to raid/mirror/striped/linear. This switches
that remaining code to be based on command defs, and
standard process_each_lv arg processing. This final
switch results in quite a bit of dead code that is
also removed.
This is a new explicit version of 'lvconvert LV'
which has been an obscure way of triggering polling
to be restarted on an LV that was previously converted.
Lift all the snapshot utilities (merge, split, combine)
out of the monolithic lvconvert implementation, using
the command definitions. The old code associated with
these commands is now unused and will be removed separately.
This lifts the lvconvert --repair and --replace commands
out of the monolithic lvconvert implementation. The
previous calls into repair/replace can no longer be
reached and will be removed in a separate commit.
The new check_single_lv() function is called prior to the
existing process_single_lv(). If the check function returns 0,
the LV will not be processed.
The check_single_lv function is meant to be a standard method
to validate the combination of specific command + specific LV,
and decide if the combination is allowed. The check_single
function can be used by anything that calls process_each_lv.
As commands are migrated to take advantage of command
definitions, each command definition gets its own entry
point which calls process_each for itself, passing a
pair of check_single/process_single functions which can
be specific to the narrowly defined command def.
Commit cfb6ef654d introduced
support to change RAID region size.
Add:
- missing conditions to support any types to function with
it in lv_raid_convert(); temporary workaround used until
cli validation patches get merged
- tests requesting "-R " to lvconvert-raid-takeover.sh
involving a cleanup of the script
Related: rhbz1392947
Add:

Before starting polling process, validate the merge has actually started
so there is not pointless invoke of lvmpolld.
This also fixes reported message from command, so user has
correct info whether merging has already started or
if it's delayed for next activation.
We can't keep 'display_lvname' for too long - it's using
ringbuffer and keeps limited number of names. So it's
safe only per few simple tests, but can't be used anymore
after some function calls..
(Fixes 00e641ef37)
Add this functionality to lvconvert:
'lvconvert --thin cachedLV --thinpool vg/poll'
Converts cachedLV to external origin (which will be read-only).
New thin volume is created in thinpool LV and it's using external
origin as source for unprovisioned chunks.
This conversion happens online (while volume is in use).
Thin LV remains fully writable.
Cached external origin no longer could be written so cache will be used
ONLY for read operations. For this limitation we require cache mode
to be writethrough (as writeback cannot write to read-only volumes).
When thinLV is later removed cached external origin is again
fully usable, just note, LV remain in 'read-only' mode.
When read-write is needed, 'lvchange -prw' has to be used.
Single external origin could be user by multiple thinLV in
multiple differen thin pool.
(Automatic) repair may not be allowed during the initial sync of an upconverted
linear LV, because the data on the failing, primary leg hasn't been completely
synchronized to the N-1 other legs of the raid1 LV (replacing failed legs during
repair involves discontinuing access to any replaced legs data, thus preventing
data recovery on the primary leg e.g. via dd_rescue).
Even though repair would not cause data loss when adding legs to a fully synced
raid1 LV, we don't have information yet defining this state yet (e.g. a raid1
LV flag telling the fully synchronized status before any legs were added),
hence can't automatically decide to allow to repair.
If nonetheless a repair on a non-synced raid1 LVs is intended, the "--force"
option has to be provided.
Resolves: rhbz1311765
Validate kernel support for raid0/raid4 on given and
requested segtype before requesting conversions on them.
Because raid10 wasn't present in old RAID targets, add
the same validation to be prepared once we support them.
Check for dm-raid target version with non-standard raid4 mapping expecting the dedicated
parity device in the last rather than the first slot and prohibit to create, activate or
convert to such LVs from striped/raid0* or vice-versa in order to avoid data corruption.
Add related tests to lvconvert-raid-takeover.sh
Resolves: rhbz1388962
On conversions between striped/raid0* and raid4, the kernel expects
the dedicated raid4 parity SubLVs in the first segment area rather than
in the last it's been allocated to, thus the data mapping ain't proper.
Enhance lvconvert (lib/metadata/raid_manip.c) to shift the dedicated
parity SubLVs on conversions from striped/raid0* to raid4 and vice-versa.
In case of raid0_meta -> raid4 where the MD raid0 personality already has
stored RAID array device positions in the superblocks, the MetaLVs have to
be cleared so that the kernel doesn't fail validating the array positions
after lvm has shifted them up by one.
Add more tests to lvconvert-raid-takeover.sh including one to check for
mapping flaws by converting a created raid4 with filesystem -> striped
and fsck it.
Whilst on it:
- add missing direct striped -> raid4 conversion to the takeover array
to avoid an intermim conversion from striped -> raid0*
- clean up the takeover array
- allow lvconvert to actually call lv_raid_convert() on all takeover requests
in order to check parameters and display messages provided by takeover
functions rather than just "...not supported" from within lvconvert
- fix a typo
Resolves: rhbz1386148
Keep for now function logic making its decision on string content.
We need bigger patch converting all things to bit-checks later.
This needs however bigger refactoring.
So this commit reverts some changes from:
c8b6c13015
Commit 088b3d036a allowed repair on cache origin RAID LVs
and restricted lvconvert actions on RAID SubLVs to change number of mirrors, repair,
replace and type changes in order to avoid unsuitable coversions on them.
This introduced a regression prohibiting --splitmirrors on any RAID SubLVs
(e.g. of cache or thin LVs; lvconvert-{cache,thin}-raid.sh tests failing).
Fix allows split mirrors again.
Fix some indenting whilst on it.
When we have already decoded arg_is_set into a local var
or already set segment type - already use these
values instead of repeating calls and string checks.
Seems some error path where not converted to 'new' ECMD return value.
Fix them to always 'goto out'.
Also drop unneeded 'ret = 0' when ret already is 0.
In case a RAID orig LV is being cached and fails, repair is impossible because
"lvconvert --repair" gets rejected.
Fix by allowing repair on cache orig RAID LVs and
"lvconvert --replace/--mirrors/--type {raid*|mirror|striped|linear}" as well.
Allow the same lvconvert actions on any cache pool and metadata RAID SubLVs.
Resolves: rhbz1380532
The dm-raid target now rejects device rebuild requests during ongoing
resynchronization thus causing 'lvconvert --repair ...' to fail with
a kernel error message. This regresses with respect to failing automatic
repair via the dmeventd RAID plugin in case raid_fault_policy="allocate"
is configured in lvm.conf as well.
Previously allowing such repair request required cancelling the
resynchronization of any still accessible DataLVs, hence reasoning
potential data loss.
Patch allows the resynchronization of still accessible DataLVs to
finish up by rejecting any 'lvconvert --repair ...'.
It enhances the dmeventd RAID plugin to be able to automatically repair
by postponing the repair after synchronization ended.
More tests are added to lvconvert-rebuild-raid.sh to cover single
and multiple DataLV failure cases for the different RAID levels.
- resolves: rhbz1371717
Introduce 'hard limit' for max number of cache chunks.
When cache target operates with too many chunks (>10e6).
When user is aware of related possible troubles he
may increase the limit in lvm.conf.
Also verbosely inform user about possible solution.
Code works for both lvcreate and lvconvert.
Lvconvert fully supports change of chunk_size when caching LV
(and validates for compatible settings).
Enforce mirror/raid0/1/10/4/5/6 type specific maximum images when
creating LVs or converting them from mirror <-> raid1.
Document those maxima in the lvcreate/lvconvert man pages.
- resolves rhbz1366060
Prepare for new segment type conversion functionality in cases that
currently fail. In the short-term, we need to do this while limiting
the changes to the code paths for the conversions that are already
supported.
Add matching support for -Z option also we doing full conversion
to cache-pool.
Extending coversion message to show which pool type is created
and whether the metadata will be wiped or remain unmodified.
Follow-up to 27a767d5e8.
Tunning behavior in a way we always prompt when option --zero is NOT specified.
Without -Z lvm expects user wants to 'reset' cache-pool metadata
(they could have been splitted from some cached LV)
If user doesn't want to zero metadata he needs to specify -Zn.
User may also avoid prompting for zeroing by using -Zy for
cache-pool (basically equals using --yes without -Z being given)
(unlike full convert case, there is no cache-pool being converted,
so there is not 'uncoditional' prompt in this case).
When volume was lvconvert-ed to a thin-volume with external origin,
then in case thin-pool was in non-zeroing mode
it's been printing WARNING about not zeroing thin volume - but
this is wanted and expected - so nothing to warn about.
So in this particular use case WARNING needs to be suppressed.
Adding parameter support for lvcreate_params.
So now lvconvert creates 'normal thin LV' in read-only mode
(so any read will 'return 0' for a moment)
then deactivate regular thin LV and reacreate in 'final R/RW' mode
thin LV with external origin and activate again.
When cache pool is reused for a new cached volume, there is
normally no need to 'keep' old cache-pool metadata as this
could cause major data lose.
Unlike with 'lvcreate -H -LX --cachepool' conversion, this lvconvert
path left the metadata unzeroed - partly for making easier some
debugging, but this was rather a bug.
So to keep possible reattach of 'unzeroed' metadata, user
now has to use 'lvconvert -Zn' for such conversion. In this case
the prompt will appear about possibe data loss and to proceed,
user has to confirm such operation. Without -Zn metadata are wiped.
lvconvert --splitcache VG/CachePool_corig
Allow the split via the hidden/used cache pool for the time being,
since the new lvconvert code did intend to allow it, but was just
missing the exception in the list of hidden LVs that were allowed.
The preferred method for splitcache is to run it on the visible
cache LV, not the hidden cache pool. That may eventually become
the only method since we try to avoid running commands on
hidden LVs.
The code could perform this conversion but ironically
did not recognize the standard command form, only the
the unpreferred "implication-based" command form.
"lvconvert --type linear VG/RaidLV" would fail, but
"lvconvert --mirrors 0 VG/RaidLV" would succeed.
The code could perform this conversion but ironically
did not recognize the standard command form, only the
the unpreferred "implication-based" command form.
"lvconvert --type linear VG/MirrorLV" would fail, but
"lvconvert --mirrors 0 VG/MirrorLV" would succeed.
Add new logic to identify each unique operation and route
it to the correct function to perform it. The functions
that perform the conversions remain unchanged.
This new code checks every allowed combination of LV type
and requested operation, and for each valid combination
calls the function that performs that conversion.
The first stage of option validation which checks for
incompatible combinations of command line options, is done
done before process_each is called. This is unchanged.
(This new code will allow that first stage validation to
be simplified in a future commit.)
The second stage of checking options against the specific
LV type is done by this new code. For each valid combination
of operation + LV type, the new code calls an existing
function that implements it.
With this in place, the ad hoc checks for valid combinations
of LV types and operations can be removed from the existing
code in a future commit.
(The #if 0 is used to keep the patch clean, and the
disabled code will be removed by a following patch.)
If there's parent processing handle, we don't need to create completely
new report group and status report - we'll just reuse the one already
initialized for the parent.
Currently, the situation where this matter is when doing internal report
to do the selection for processing commands where we have parent processing
handle for the command itself and processing handle for the selection
part (that is selection for non-reporting tools).
In the same way that process_each_vg() can be passed
a single VG name to process, also allow process_each_lv()
to be passed a single VG name and LV name to process.
Add support for active cache LV.
Handle --cachemode args validation during command line processing.
Rework some lvm2 internal to use lvm2 defined CACHE_MODE enums
indepently on libdm defines and use enum around the code instead
of passing and comparing strings.
Commit abd9618dd8 tried to improve
parsing of vg name from logical path - but still missed couple
corner cases.
This patch further improves the logic and reuses
validate_lvname_param() for parsing of lv_name.
Also explicitly checks for LVM_VG_NAME in the right case.
So now also properly parses cases like:
'lvconvert --repairt vg/'
and will provide correct error message.
Since we want to read env LVM_VG_NAME vg names,
we cannot just check LV names which do contain '/'.
So before the patch commands like:
> lvconvert --repair vg
Before:
Please provide a valid volume group name
After:
Path required for Logical Volume "vg".
Please provide a valid volume group name
> LVM_VG_NAME=vg lvconvert --repair vg
Before:
Please provide a valid volume group name
After:
Can't find LV vg in VG vg
Avoid internal error message where thin pool repair code tries to
fix cache pool - was catched later in code stack, so rather
catch this early and make the repair function exlusive
to thin pools.
So far we have no code for repairing cache pools
(other then the automatic during activation/deactivation).
Add missing display_lvname in _lvconvert_merge_thin_snapshot().
Also when we detect missing origin, report Internal error,
which would likely be the primary fault here
(and avoid dereft of NULL origin as noticed by Coverity).
Coverity here is not fully-in-picture - but please it
with validation of pointer which currently cannot be null,
since we always return at least empty string.
This option could never have been printed in lvm2 metadata, so it could
be safely removed as it could have been set only as 0.
These configurable setting is supported via metadata profile.
Since we may want to swap names when LVs are complex types, we cannot
avoid doing full renames on both LV stacks.
Temporarily use 'pvmove_tmeta' as unused name to prevent validation troubles.
Certain stacks of cached LVs may have unexpected consequences.
So add a warning function called when LV is cached to detect
such caces and WARN user about them - the best we could do ATM.
All cache args could be specified when caching LV
(means converting LV to cached).
When --cachemode arg is given during cache-pool conversion,
store it in the metadata.

The unlock call will fail in expected and normal cases,
and should not cause the command to fail. (An actual
unlock in the lock manager should never fail.)
Change logic and naming of some internal API functions.
cache_set_mode() and cache_set_policy() both take segment.
cache mode is now correctly 'masked-in'.
If the passed segment is 'cache' segment - it will automatically
try to find 'defaults' according to profiles if the are NOT
specified on command line or they are NOT already set for cache-pool.
These defaults are never set for cache-pool.
Request a transient LV lock from lvmlockd when
converting an LV. If the LV is inactive when
lvconvert is run, the LV lock will be acquired
and then released when the command is done.
If the LV is active, a persistent lock exists
already and the transient lock request does nothing.
This fixes the issue that had been mentioned in the
comment previously.
. the poll check will eventually call finish which will
write the VG, so an ex VG lock is needed from lvmlockd.
. fix missing unlock on poll error path
. remove the lockd locking while monitoring the progress
of the command, as suggested by the earlier FIXME comment,
as it's not needed.
Recent change to move the polling outside of core lvconvert
code was wrongly using 'lv' and 'vg' structs which can't be
used outside of the core code, which caused seg fault.
Properly isolate all use of lv structs within the core of
the lvconvert code, saving any information necessary,
(esp lvid). After the core of lvconvert is done, use
the saved information to do polling.
FIXME: the need for is_merging_origin and is_merging_origin_thin
in this patch is ugly, and a cleaner way should be found to deal
with that than what is done here.
Also it effectively removed all hacks in _lvconvert_merge_single
performing ugly: VG reread, unlock, polling, lock sequence.
Moreover all polling operations are postponed after all conversions
are finished.
lvm2 (while locking via lvmlockd) should now be able to run with
or without lvmpolld while performing poll operations originating
in lvconvert command.

Keep policy name separate from policy settings and avoid
to mangling and demangling this string from same config tree.
Ensure policy_name is always defined.
Require global/{thin,cache}_{check,repair}_options to be always defined.
If not defined directly by user in the configuration and if there's no
concrete default option to use, make "" (empty string) the default one -
it's then clearly visible in the "lvmconfig --type default" (and
generated lvm.conf) and also it makes its handling in the code more
straightforward so we don't need to handle undefined values.
This means, if there are no default values for these settings defined,
we end up with this generated now:
{thin,cache}_{check,repair}_options = [ "" ]
So the value is never undefined and if it is, it's an error.
(The cache_repair_options is actually not used in the code at the moment,
but once the code using this setting is in, it will follow the same logic
as used for thin_repair_options.)
A new lockd lock needs to be created for the new LV
created by split mirror and split snapshot. Disallow
these options in lockd VGs until that is implemented.

These wrappers have been replaced by direct calls
to vg_read() and find_lv() in previous commits.
This commit should have no functional impact since
all bits were already unreachable.
Routines responsible for polling of in-progress pvmove, snapshot merge
or mirror conversion each used custom lookup functions to find vg and
lv involved in polling.
Especially pvmove used pvname to lookup pvmove in-progress. The future
lvmpolld will poll each operation by vg/lv name (internally by lvid).
Also there're plans to make pvmove able to move non-overlaping ranges
of extents instead of single PVs as of now. This would also require
to identify the opertion in different manner.
The poll_operation_id structure together with daemon_parms structure they
identify unambiguously the polling task.
This commit has no impact on functionality. Code required to
be visible outside lvconvert.c is just moved into new file
lvconvert_poll.c and some calls are made non-static and
declared in new header file lvconvert.h
cmirror uses the CPG library to pass messages around the cluster and maintain
its bitmaps. When a cluster mirror starts-up, it must send the current state
to any joining members - a checkpoint. When mirrors are large (or the region
size is small), the bitmap size can exceed the message limit of the CPG
library. When this happens, the CPG library returns CPG_ERR_TRY_AGAIN.
(This is also a bug in CPG, since the message will never be successfully sent.)
There is an outstanding bug (bug 682771) that is meant to lift this message
length restriction in CPG, but for now we work around the issue by increasing
the mirror region size. This limits the size of the bitmap and avoids any
issues we would otherwise have around checkpointing.
Since this issue only affects cluster mirrors, the region size adjustments
are only made on cluster mirrors. This patch handles cluster mirror issues
involving pvmove, lvconvert (from linear to mirror), and lvcreate. It also
ensures that when users convert a VG from single-machine to clustered, any
mirrors with too many regions (i.e. a bitmap that would be too large to
properly checkpoint) are trapped.
Dop unused value assignments.
Unknown is detected via other combination
(!linear && !striped).
Also change the log_error() message into a warning,
since the function is not really returning error,
but still keep the INTERNAL_ERROR.
Ret value is always set later.
It's cleaner this way - do not mix static and dynamic
(init_processing_handle) initializers. Use the dynamic one everywhere.
This makes it easier to manage the code - there are no "exceptions"
then and we don't need to take care about two ways of initializing the
same thing - just use one common initializer throughout and it's clear.
Also, add more comments, mainly in the report_for_selection fn explaining
what is being done and why with respect to the processing_handle and
selection_handle.
Call _init_processing_handle, _init_selection_handle and
_destroy_processing_handle in process_each_* and related functions to
set up and destroy handles used while processing items.
This patch replaces "void *handle" with "struct processing_handle *handle"
in process_each_*, process_single_* and related functions.
The struct processing_handle consists of two handles inside now:
- the "struct selection_handle *selection_handle" used for
applying selection criteria while processing process_each_*,
process_single_* and related functions (patches using this
logic will follow)
- the "void* custom_handle" (this is actually the original handle
used before this patch - a pointer to custom data passed into
process_each_*, process_single_* and related functions).
When repairing thin pool or swapping thin pool metadata,
preserve chunk_size property and avoid to be automatically changed
later in the code to better match thin pool metadata size.
Move code for creation of thin volume into a single place
out of lv_extend(). This allows to drop extra pool arg
for alloc_lv_segment() && lv_extend() and makes code
more easier to read and follow.
Ask for lock the proper LV.
Use the top-most LV to query for locally exclusive lock.
The rest of operations are then using 'lv_info()'
TODO:
Check all devices are reloaded from proper level.
In general any query on lv_is_active is supposed to be running
ona lv_lock_holder() volume.
Instead of segtype->ops->name() introduce lvseg_name().
This also allows us to leave name() function 'empty' for default
return of segtype->name.
TODO: add functions for rest of ops->
