If the linear mapping is lost (for whatever reason, i.e.
test suite forcible 'dmsetup remove' linear LV,
lvm2 had hard times figuring out how to deactivate such DM table.
So add function which is in case inactive VDO pool LV checks if
the pool is actually still active (-vpool device present) and
it has open count == 0. In this case deactivation is allowed
to continue and cleanup DM table.
Enhance 'activation' experience for VDO pool to more closely match
what happens for thin-pools where we do use a 'fake' LV to keep pool
running even when no thinLVs are active. This gives user a choice
whether he want to keep thin-pool running (wihout possibly lenghty
activation/deactivation process)
As we do plan to support multple VDO LVs to be mapped into a single VDO,
we want to give user same experience and 'use-patter' as with thin-pools.
This patch gives option to activate VDO pool only without activating
VDO LV.
Also due to 'fake' layering LV we can protect usage of VDO pool from
command like 'mkfs' which do require exlusive access to the volume,
which is no longer possible.
Note: VDO pool contains 1024 initial sectors as 'empty' header - such
header is also exposed in layered LV (as read-only LV).
For blkid we are indentified as LV with UUID suffix - thus private DM
device of lvm2 - so we do not need to store any extra info in this
header space (aka zero is good enough).
When lvm2 is activating layered pool LV (to basically keep pool opened,
the other function used to be 'locking' be in sync with DM table)
use this LV in read-only mode - this prevents 'write' access into
data volume content of thin-pool.
Note: since EMPTY/unused thin-pool is created as 'public LV' for generic
use by any user who i.e. wish to maintain thin-pool and thins himself.
At this moment, thin-pool appears as writable LV. As soon as the 1st.
thinLV is created, layer volume will appear is 'read-only' LV from this moment.
Since we need to preserve allocated strings across 2 separate
activation calls of '_tree_action()' we need to use other mem
pool them dm->mem - but since cmd->mem is released between
individual lvm2 locking calls, we rather introduce a new separate
mem pool just for pending deletes with easy to see life-span.
(not using 'libmem' as it would basicaly keep allocations over
the whole lifetime of clvmd)
This patch is fixing previous commmit where the memory was
improperly used after pool release.
With previous patch 30a98e4d67 we
started to put devices one pending_delete list instead
of directly scheduling their removal.
However we have operations like 'snapshot merge' where we are
resuming device tree in 2 subsequent activation calls - so
1st such call will still have suspened devices and no chance
to push 'remove' ioctl.
Since we curently cannot easily solve this by doing just single
activation call (which would be preferred solution) - we introduce
a preservation of pending_delete via command structure and
then restore it on next activation call.
This way we keep to remove devices later - although it might be
not the best moment - this may need futher tunning.
Also we don't keep the list of operation in 1 trasaction
(unless we do verify udev symlinks) - this could probably
also make it more correct in terms of which 'remove' can
be combined we already running 'resume'.
Resuming of 'error' table entry followed with it's dirrect removal
is now troublesame with latest udev as it may skip processing of
udev rules for already 'dropped' device nodes.
As we cannot 'synchronize' with udev while we know we have devices
in suspended state - rework 'cleanup' so it collects nodes
for removal into pending_delete list and process the list with
synchronization once we are without any suspended nodes.
When pvmove is finished, we do a tricky operation since we try to
resume multiple different device that were all joined into 1 big tree.
Currently we use the infromation from existing live DM table,
where we can get list of all holders of pvmove device.
We look for these nodes (by uuid) in new metadata, and we do now a full
regular device add into dm tree structure. All devices should be
already PRELOAD with correct table before entering suspend state,
however for correctly working readahead we need to put correct info
also into RESUME tree. Since table are preloaded, the same table
is skip and resume, but correct read ahead is now set.
Udev is running udev-rule action upon 'resume'.
However lvm2 in special case is doing replacement of
'soon-to-be-removed' device with 'error' target for resuming
and then follows actual removal - the sequence is usually quick,
so when udev start action - it can result in 'strange' error
message in kernel log like:
Process '/usr/sbin/dmsetup info -j 253 -m 17 -c --nameprefixes --noheadings --rows -o name,uuid,suspended' failed with exit code 1.
To avoid this - we need to ensure there is synchronization wait for udev
between 'resume' and 'remove' part of this process.
However existing code put strict requirement to avoid synchronizing with
udev inside critical section - but this originally came from requirement
to not do anything special while there could be devices in
suspend-state. Now we are able to see differnce between critical section
with or without suspended devices. For udev synchronization only
suspended devices are prohibited to be there - so slightly relax
condition and allow calling and using 'fs_sync()' even inside critical
section - but there must not be any suspended device.
Move DM usage into dev_manager.c source file.
Also convert STATUS to INFO ioctl - as that's enough
to obtain UUID - this also avoid issuing unwanted flush on checked DM
device for being mpath.
and "cachepool" to refer to a cache on a cache pool object.
The problem was that the --cachepool option was being used
to refer to both a cache pool object, and to a standard LV
used for caching. This could be somewhat confusing, and it
made it less clear when each kind would be used. By
separating them, it's clear when a cachepool or a cachevol
should be used.
Previously:
- lvm would use the cache pool approach when the user passed
a cache-pool LV to the --cachepool option.
- lvm would use the cache vol approach when the user passed
a standard LV in the --cachepool option.
Now:
- lvm will always use the cache pool approach when the user
uses the --cachepool option.
- lvm will always use the cache vol approach when the user
uses the --cachevol option.
Since the parse_vdo_pool_status() become vdo_manip API part,
and there will be no 'dm' matching status parser,
the API can be simplified and closely match thin API here.
There's a small window during creation of a new RaidLV when
rmeta SubLVs are made visible to wipe them in order to prevent
erroneous discovery of stale RAID metadata. In case a crash
prevents the SubLVs from being committed hidden after such
wiping, the RaidLV can still be activated with the SubLVs visible.
During deactivation though, a deadlock occurs because the visible
SubLVs are deactivated before the RaidLV.
The patch adds _check_raid_sublvs to the raid validation in merge.c,
an activation check to activate.c (paranoid, because the merge.c check
will prevent activation in case of visible SubLVs) and shares the
existing wiping function _clear_lvs in raid_manip.c moved to lv_manip.c
and renamed to activate_and_wipe_lvlist to remove code duplication.
Whilst on it, introduce activate_and_wipe_lv to share with
(lvconvert|lvchange).c.
Resolves: rhbz1633167
Commit 813347cf84 added extra validation,
however in this particular we do want to trim suffix out so rather ignore
resulting error code here intentionaly.
If a single, standard LV is specified as the cache, use
it directly instead of converting it into a cache-pool
object with two separate LVs (for data and metadata).
With a single LV as the cache, lvm will use blocks at the
beginning for metadata, and the rest for data. Separate
dm linear devices are set up to point at the metadata and
data areas of the LV. These dm devs are given to the
dm-cache target to use.
The single LV cache cannot be resized without recreating it.
If the --poolmetadata option is used to specify an LV for
metadata, then a cache pool will be created (with separate
LVs for data and metadata.)

devices/scan_lvs (default 1) determines whether lvm
will scan LVs for layered PVs. The lvm behavior has
always been to scan LVs, but it's rare for LVs to have
layered PVs, and much more common for there to be many
LVs that substantially slow down scanning with no benefit.
This is implemented in the usable filter, and has the
same effect as listing all LVs in the global_filter.
With improved mirror activation code --splitmirror issue poppedup
since there was missing proper preload code and deactivation
for splitted mirror leg.
If a mirror LV is listed in read_only_volume_list, it would
still be activated rw. The activation would initially be
readonly, but the monitoring function would immediately
change it to rw. This was a regression from commit
fade45b1d1 mirror: improve table update
The monitoring function needs to copy the read_only setting
into the new set of mirror activation options it uses.
To support autoloading of VDO dm target driver loading of 'kvdo'
kernel module is needed - ATM it's not using 'dm-vdo' name.
So to support this strange name - add temporarily solution to
autoload kvdo kernel module in this case.
When pvmoving LV - the target for LV is a mirror so the validation
that checked the type is matching was incorrect.
While we need a more generic enhancment of LVS output for pvmoved LVs,
for now at least stop showing internal errors and 'X' symbols in attrs.
Basic LV functions:
activate_lv(), deactivate_lv(),
suspend_lv(), resume_lv()
were routed through the locking infrastruture on the way to:
lv_activate_with_filter(), lv_deactivate(),
lv_suspend_if_active(), lv_resume_if_active()
This commit removes the locking infrastructure from the
middle and calls the later functions directly from the former.
There were a couple of ancillary steps that the locking
infrastructure added along the way which are still included:
- critical section inc/dec during suspend/resume
- checking for active component LVs during activate
The "activation" file lock (serializing activation) has not
been kept because activation commands have been changed to
take the VG file lock exclusively which makes the activation
lock unused and unnecessary.
Different flavors of activate_lv() and lv_is_active()
which are meaningful in a clustered VG can be eliminated
and replaced with whatever that flavor already falls back
to in a local VG.
e.g. lv_is_active_exclusive_locally() is distinct from
lv_is_active() in a clustered VG, but in a local VG they
are equivalent. So, all instances of the variant are
replaced with the basic local equivalent.
For local VGs, the same behavior remains as before.
For shared VGs, lvmlockd was written with the explicit
requirement of local behavior from these functions
(lvmlockd requires locking_type 1), so the behavior
in shared VGs also remains the same.
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/
To avoid the chance of freeing a saved vg while another
code path is using it, defer freeing saved vgs until
all the lvmcache content is dropped for the vg.
There are likely more bits of code that can be removed,
e.g. lvm1/pool-specific bits of code that were identified
using FMT flags.
The vgconvert command can likely be reduced further.
The lvm1-specific config settings should probably have
some other fields set for proper deprecation.
Shift refresh of mirror table right into monitor_dev_for_events().
Use !vg_write_lock_held() to recognize use of lvchange/vgchange.
(this shall change if this would no longer work, but requires
futher some API changes).
With this patch dm mirror table is only refreshed when necassary.
Also update WARNING message about mirror usage without monitoring
and display LV name.
In some pvmove tests, clvmd uses the new (precommitted)
saved_vg, but then requests the old saved_vg, and
expects that the new saved_vg be returned instead of
the old. So, when returning the new saved_vg, forget
the old one so we don't return it again.
After reading a VG, stash it in lvmcache as "saved_vg".
Before reading the VG again, try to use the saved_vg.
The saved_vg is dropped on VG lock operations.
The copy of the VG which clvmd stashes in lvmcache should
not only be used between suspend and resume, but between
sequential LV operations in clvmd, so that clvmd does not
need to reread the VG for each one. Prepare for that by
renaming the stashed VG as "saved_vg".
The copy of VG metadata stored in lvmcache was not being used
in general. It pretended to be a generic VG metadata cache,
but was not being used except for clvmd activation. There
it was used to avoid reading from disk while devices were
suspended, i.e. in resume.
This removes the code that attempted to make this look
like a generic metadata cache, and replaces with with
something narrowly targetted to what it's actually used for.
This is a way of passing the VG from suspend to resume in
clvmd. Since in the case of clvmd one caller can't simply
pass the same VG to both suspend and resume, suspend needs
to stash the VG somewhere that resume can grab it from.
(resume doesn't want to read it from disk since devices
are suspended.) The lvmcache vginfo struct is used as a
convenient place to stash the VG to pass it from suspend
to resume, even though it isn't related to the lvmcache
or vginfo. These suspended_vg* vginfo fields should
not be used or touched anywhere else, they are only to
be used for passing the VG data from suspend to resume
in clvmd. The VG data being passed between suspend and
resume is never modified, and will only exist in the
brief period between suspend and resume in clvmd.
suspend has both old (current) and new (precommitted)
copies of the VG metadata. It stashes both of these in
the vginfo prior to suspending devices. When vg_commit
is successful, it sets a flag in vginfo as before,
signaling the transition from old to new metadata.
resume grabs the VG stashed by suspend. If the vg_commit
happened, it grabs the new VG, and if the vg_commit didn't
happen it grabs the old VG. The VG is then used to resume
LVs.
This isolates clvmd-specific code and usage from the
normal lvm vg_read code, making the code simpler and
the behavior easier to verify.
Sequence of operations:
- lv_suspend() has both vg_old and vg_new
and stashes a copy of each onto the vginfo:
lvmcache_save_suspended_vg(vg_old);
lvmcache_save_suspended_vg(vg_new);
- vg_commit() happens, which causes all clvmd
instances to call lvmcache_commit_metadata(vg).
A flag is set in the vginfo indicating the
transition from the old to new VG:
vginfo->suspended_vg_committed = 1;
- lv_resume() needs either vg_old or vg_new
to use in resuming LVs. It doesn't want to
read the VG from disk since devices are
suspended, so it gets the VG stashed by
lv_suspend:
vg = lvmcache_get_suspended_vg(vgid);
If the vg_commit did not happen, suspended_vg_committed
will not be set, and in this case, lvmcache_get_suspended_vg()
will return the old VG instead of the new VG, and it will
resume LVs based on the old metadata.
Whenever we make visible LV out of previously invisible one,
reload it's table - the is mandator for proper udev rule
processing as well as ensure content of dm table is correct.
TODO: this new generic rule probably make extra raid rules unnecessary.
If the tools for checking thin_pool or cache metadata are missing,
issue rather just a WARNING, but let the operation of activation
continue.
This has the advantage, the if user is missing those tools,
but he already started to use thinpool or cacheing, he can
access these volumes with a WARNING.
Also if the user is using too old tools i.e. for CacheV2 format
dmpd tool 0.7 is required - provide informative WARNING and
skip failure from older tool version which can't understand
new format V2.
Detect we are in prioritezed section instead of critical one,
since these operation were supposed to NOT be happining during
whole set of operation.
This patch fixes verification of udev operations.
Just like lvm2 has internal devices like _tdata which is using UUID with
suffix, there is similar private type of device for crypto device where
they are using CRYPT-TEMP uuid prefix.
Also ignore stratis.
Some kernel version suffer from bad state transition where a device
steps into 'frozen' mode. Any application that tries to read such
raid gets unfortunatelly bloked.
As some sort of protection try to skip such raid device from being
scanned to minimize chances to block lvm2 command on such scan.
When such device is found, warning gets printed.
RaidLVs on read_only_volume_list have their SubLVs
activated readonly thus disabling metadata updates
or image resynchronization/recovery. Bug also causes
automatic repairs to fail.
Fix by always activating the RAID SubLVs readwrite.
Resolves: rhbz1208269
When snapshot is created in read-only mode with 'lvcreate -s -pr...',
lvm2 still needs to be able to write to layered -cow volume
to store metadata and exceptions blocks.
TODO: in some case we might be able to do full tree with read-only
volume but this probably needs futher validation:
1. checking snapshot header already exist
2. origin & snapshot are both in read-only mode.
Occasionaly users may need to peek into 'component devices.
Normally lvm2 does not let users activation component.
This patch adds special mode where user can activate
component LV in a 'read-only' mode i.e.:
lvchange -ay vg/pool_tdata
All devices can be deactivated with:
lvchange -an vg | vgchange -an....
Introduce:
lv_is_component() check is LV is actually a component device.
lv_component_is_active() checking if any component device is active.
lv_holder_is_active() is any component holding device is active.
So this is a bit more complex and possibly worth futher checking.
ATM clvmd drops cmd->mem mempool AFTER refresh of cmd.
So anything allocating from cmd->mem during toolcontext init
will likely die at some point in time.
As a quick fix - just use regular malloc/free for 'dso' alloction.
It's worth to note - cmd->libmem seems to be often misused
causing hidden memleaking for clvmd.
Build dso plugin name during segtype initialisation and just
use the string during command life-time.
Also slightlt update message verbosity and make it very_verbose
when operation is going to be made and 'verbose' when it's done.
Avoid using same return code for reporting 2 different things
and stricly report error code by return value and add new
parameter for reporting monitoring status.
This makes easier to recognize which error we got from dm_event
and continue only with ENOENT.
In fact pvmove does support 'clustered-core' target for clustered
pvmove of LVs activated on multiple nodes.
This patch restores support for activation of pvmove on all nodes
for LVs that are also activate on all nodes.
Add protectional internall error whenever we spot activation
of 'exclusive' only segments in 'non-exclusive' mode.
TODO: possibly the activation locking could be enhanced to handle
this fully behind the scene - as for now this works purely for
lvchange/vgchange activation.
In case of failed legs, raid replaces those with
e.g. "vg-lv_rimage_0-missing_0_0" mapped to an error target.
Those errouneously remain on deactivation.
Fix by removing them on deactivation/removal of the RaidLV.
Use new 3rd. state of trace_pvmove_deps == 2.
In this state we know, we have already seen the node and can skip futher
testing. Remainging value 1 signals we want to track, and value 0
is for ignoring tracking, but node is still checking in this case.
Reduces large amount of duplicate ioctl queries.
Check also all snapshosts when resume is requested,
the origin volume is already resume, but possibly
some subLV or snapshot LV could be suspended if
we are still in critical_section.
Use code which detectes handlers in a way, which is more
backward-compatible friendly.
Replace read of 'sysfs' uuid entry with dm ioctl call.
Use /sys/block/dm-X/holders path instead of
new path /sys/dev/block/major:minor/holders.
TODO:
There are few more occurencies of this logic around the code
so some abstract interface should be considered.
When pvmove is finished and does 'suspend/resume' on PVMOVE LV,
on resume path committed metadata are already showing 'standalone'
pvmove LV prepared just for removal.
However code should be able to 'resume' preloaded LV there were
participating in pvmove operation.
Previously this was all done in the 'tools' part of lvm2 code.
So the lvconvert upon pvmove finish had to explicitely call 'resume' on every such LV.
Now 'smarted' activation code is able to deduce and combine all information from
the active dm table and committed metadata so single call resolves
it all in one go.
Internally holders are detected by reading sysfs directory to capture
all needed UUID which are then looked in lvm2 metadata and all such
LVs are automatically collected into dmtree.
Only thin-pool with origin_only suspend is allowed to be not suspending anything.
In such case pairing resume will 'decrement' critical section counter.
Just like suspend handles preload for pvmove finish,
in similar way handle suspend of starting pvmove.
In this case the precommited metadata are checked for list of PVMOVEed
LVs and those are suspended in with committed metadata.
Whenever pvmove tree is going to be generated for suspend
and such LV has a user - use this 'using LV' to generate
correct dm tree holding all components.
LV is asked for resume, and its already resume and tool
is inside 'critical_section()' check if there is any suspended sub LV.
In that case 'resume' operation will not be skipped.
When old snapshot is merged, lvm2 still can report some data about
merged 'snapshot' - i.e. it occupied space in VG.
This patch fixes regression from commit:
6fd20be629
and resolved RHBZ: 1460161
When metadata LV size was over DM_THIN_MAX_METADATA_SIZE sectors,
the info() routine was incorrectly trying to match bigger size,
while we do never pass any bigger device.
Fixing a case, where lvs should be displaying status for metadata
LV with 16GB size.
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

When cache volume may be converted from normal to -real layer LV
we need to improve logic for call cache_check.
With this patch, we register call for cache_check only when metadata LV
is not yet present in active table slot (should match initial table
load).
This avoids unwanted checking when cache would become layer device
online.
To be ready to show status of cache volume, call the status
with layer. Layer is automatically detected in this case when
cache volume is used in 'layered' form (needs -real suffix).
When LV is external origin, show info for LV but
status for -layer. So we expose more info to a user
as otherwise active external origin is only linear
mapping of -real layer.
We do the same for i.e. old snaphost origin.
Activation of raid has brough up also splitted image with tracing
(without taking lock for this).
So when raid is now activate - such image is not put into
table (with _rmeta). When user needs such device, just active it.
Simplify info run for use only for INFO & STATUS.
Drop handling MKNODES within _info_run() call
and use more advanced _setup_task_run() directly.
This allows to further simplify _info_run().
Integrate also query for inactive table and
handle dm_task_run() and dm_task_get_info()
(thus switching to setup_task_run)
Add one exception case for DM_DEVICE_TARGET_MSG.
This allows further shortening and simplification of all
other users of this function.
It's actually not needed to call extra lv_has_target_type() to detect
snapshot merge is in progress - decode this right during status
capturing and save even few extra ioctl calls.
Drop LV from passed API arg - it's always segment being checked.
Also use_layer is now in full control of lv_info_with_seg_status().
It decides which device needs to be checked to get 'the most info'.
TODO: future version should be able to expose status from
Start moving selection of status taken for a LV into a single place.
The logic for showing info & status has been spread over multiple
places and were doing too complex decision going agains each other.
Unify selection of status of origin & cow scanned device.
TODO: in future we want to grab status for LV and layered LV and have
both statuses present for display - i.e. when 'old snapshot'
of thinLV is takes and there is ongoing merge - at some moment
we are not capable to show all needed info.
When lvm2 wants to see a status, it needs to validate,
segment for status reading is matching whan lvm2 expects in
metadata.
Also ensure status failure will not cause '0' from info reading
when actual info was collected properly.
Failure in 'status' reading is considered to be
a 'log_warn()' event only.
When we can't parse status, switch to warning as this is not
considered an errornous case. LVS is not supposed to return
error status code when device is not what it's been expected to
be - but it should be WARNING a user there is something unexpected.
Make it easier to replace missing segments with 'zero' returning
target - otherwise user would have to create some extra target
to provide zeros as /dev/zero can't be used (not a block device).
Also break code loop when segment is found and make it an INTERNAL_ERROR
where it's missing.
Translate log_info() into log_very_verbose() which is macro
supposed to be used by our code.
log_info() is internal macro with eventually some 'symbolic' meaning
in syslogging daemons.
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

Avoid monitoring of activated cache-pool - where the only purpose ATM
is to clear metadata volume which is actually activate in place
of cache-pool name (using public LV name).
Since VG lock is held across whole clear operation, dmeventd cannot
be used anyway - however in case of appliction crash we may
leave unmonitored device.
In future we may provide better mechanism as the current name
replacemnet is creating 'uncommon' table setups in case the metadata
LV is more complex type like raid (needs some futher thinking about
error path results).
Another point to think about is the fact we should not clear device
while holding lock (i.e. dmeventd mirror repair cannot work in cases
like this).
This patch fixes link validation for used thin-pool.
Udev rules correctly creates symlinks only for unused new thin-pool.
Such thin-pool can be used by foreing apps (like Docker) thus
has /dev/vg/lv link.
However when thin-pool becomes used by thinLV - this link is no
longer exposed to user - but internal verfication missed this
and caused messages like this to be printed upon 'vgchange -ay':
The link /dev/vg/pool should have been created by udev but it was not
found. Falling back to direct link creation.
And same with 'vgchange -an':
The link /dev/vg/pool should have been removed by udev but it is still
present. Falling back to direct link removal.
This patch ensures only unused thin-pool has this link.
We have only 2 users of _lv_active() - one was already checking for ==1
while the other use (_lv_is_active()) could have take '-1' as a sign of having
an LV active. So return 0 and log_debug also the reason while detection
has failed (i.e. in case --driverload n - it's kind of expectable,
but might have confused user seeing just <backtrace>).
Add more code to properly store status for snapshot segment
maintaining lvm2 fiction of COW and snapshot internal volumes.
The key issue here is however not though-through reporting
logic - as there is no single answer for whole line state.
It not counting with layer and we may need few more ioctl to
cover all reporting needs depending upon what is actually
needed.
In reality we need to 'cache' more ioctl status queries for
individual LVs and their segments (so they checked at most once).
The other 'hard' topic for conversion is mirror segment handling.
Also we definitelly need to relocate some logic into segment's methods,
yet it might be complex as we have not clear border between targets.
TODO: define more clearly how are reporting fields defined in case
we 'stack' volumes like - cache of stacked thin LV snapshot origin.
