Change function import_vg_from_buffer() to import_vg_from_config_tree().
Instead of creating config tree inside the function allow config tree to
be passed as parameter - usable later for caching.
Checking for vg being != NULL in this place is not needed.
Pointer vg is already dereferced in this function above this code line.
Also this internal function _read_pv is always called with valid 'vg' pointer.
As const segment_type or const format_type are never released
use their non-const version and remove const downcast from dm_free calls.
This change fixes many gcc warnings we were getting from them.
To have better control were the config tree could be modified use more
const pointers and very carefully downcast them back to non-const
(for config tree merge).
Set cmd->independent_metadata_areas if metadata/dirs or disk_areas in use.
- Identify and record this state.
Don't skip full scan when independent mdas are present even if memlock is set.
- Clusters and OOM aren't supported, so no problem doing the proper scans.
Avoid revalidating the label cache immediately after scanning.
- A simple optimisation.
Support scanning for a single VG in independent mdas.
- Not used by the fix but I left it in anyway as later patches might use it.
Nicely hidden memory leak in outf macro error path.
This macro is using out_text() and does automagical return_0.
That would leak tag_buffer allocated memory.
As there was same code for tags output - create _out_tags() function.
In other LVM memory structures such as volume_group, the field
used to store flags is called "status", and on-disk fields are called
'flags', so rename the one inside metadata_area to be consistent.
Not only is it more consistent with existing code but is cleaner
to say "the status of this mda is ignored".
Background for this patch - prajnoha pinged me on IRC this morning
about a fix he was working on related to metadataignore when
metadata/dirs was set. I was reviewing my patches from this year
and realized the 'flags' field was probably not the best choice
when I originally did the metadataignore patches.
In certain configurations, we're not under a VG rw lock while trying to write
a new archive file with VG metadata. A common example is using "vgs" while
having the content of backup and archive directories empty. The code scans the
content of these directories and tries to determine the final index that should
be used in archive name. Since we're not under a lock, we can get into a race
while choosing the index which could end up showing errors about not being able
to rename to final archive name. Let's add random number suffix to these archive
file names so we can avoid the race.
For example, when using '--config "backup { ... }"' line, the values from
lvm.conf (or default values) should be overridden. This patch adds
reinitialisation of archive and backup handling on toolcontext refresh
which makes these settings to be applied.
Add "devices/default_data_alignment" to lvm.conf to control the internal
default that LVM2 uses: 0==64k, 1==1MB, 2==2MB, etc.
If --dataalignment (or lvm.conf's "devices/data_alignment") is specified
then it is always used to align the start of the data area. This means
the md_chunk_alignment and data_alignment_detection are disabled if set.
(Same now applies to pvcreate --dataalignmentoffset, the specified value
will be used instead of the result from data_alignment_offset_detection)
set_pe_align() still looks to use the determined default alignment
(based on lvm.conf's default_data_alignment) if the default is a
multiple of the MD or topology detected values.
Pass metadataignore through PV creation / setup paths.
As a result of this cleanup, we can remove the unnecessary setting
of mda_ignore bits inside pvcreate_single(), after call to pv_create.
For now, just set metadataignore to '0' in some places. This is
equivalent to the prior functionality, although the 0 is given
by the caller not hardcoded in _mda_setup() call.

Allow metadataignore flag to be passed in to pvcreate.
Ideally, more refactoring of the mda allocation / initialization
is warranted, but for now, we just add another parameter to 'add_mda'
to take an existing mda ignored flag. We need to do this or pv_write
loses the state of the mda 'ignored' flag before copying and writing
to disk.
Print device name when setting or clearing metadata ignore bit.
Example:
label/label.c:160 /dev/loop2: lvm2 label detected
cache/lvmcache.c:1136 lvmcache: /dev/loop2: now in VG #orphans_lvm2 (#orphans_lvm2)
metadata/metadata.c:4142 Setting mda ignored flag for metadata_locn /dev/loop2.
format_text/text_label.c:318 Skipping mda with ignored flag on device /dev/loop2 at offset 4096
Logging isn't ideal, especially for mda_set_ignore. Ideally we'd
like to display the device name and offset in this case but this
requires a bit more work and a per-format 'mda_description' function
pointer definition (we don't have access to mda_context in
metadata.c).
There's an intermittent failure with vgcfgbackup that seems to have been
introduced with the metadataignore / vgmetadatacopies patchset.
Intermittent failures are often the result of uninitialized data,
so this patch calls zalloc in a few places it might matter.
This patch adds the ability to read/write the vg->mda_copies values
from/to the vg metadata.
If we read the VG metadata and this field does not exist, we set
mda_copies to the default value of 0. Later in the code, we use
this special '0' value to indicate a disable of metadata balancing.
This should preserve existing LVM behavior and ensure metadata balancing
can be turned off should the need arise.

When we are constructing the vg, we may need to adjust the list of
metadata_areas if there are ignored mdas. At label read time, we
do not read the metadata of ignored mdas, and as a result, they do
not get placed on vg->fid->metadata_areas inside _text_create_text_instance
since lvmcache does not have these areas attached to vginfo->infos.
However, when we're checking the pvids inside _vg_read, after having
read another metadata area from another PV, we do have the opportunity
to update the metadata_area and metadata_areas_ignored lists based
on the read metadata_area. We need accurate mda lists for the reporting
functions that count the ignored mdas, as well as general correctness
of mda balancing.

We implement ignore of an mda at label_read time by checking for
the ignore bit, and then skipping the reading of the vgname and
other information in the metadata. This will have an effect similar
to a PV found with no mdas. Thus, it will look like an orphan in the
cache until we scan the rest of the system and find a PV with
metadata, and the mda will not be on the vg->fid->metadata_areas
list so no read/writes will be done to the metadata area.

Add a second mda list, metadata_areas_ignored to fid, and a couple
functions, fid_add_mda() and fid_add_mdas() to help manage the lists.
These functions are needed to properly count the ignored mdas and
manage the lists attached to the 'fid' and ultimately the 'vg'.
Ensure metadata_areas_ignored is initialized in other formats, even
if the list is never used.

Because of the way mdas are handled internally, where a PV in a VG
has mdas on both info->mdas and vg->fid->metadata_areas list, we
need a location independent copy constructor for struct
metadata_area. Break up the existing format-text specific copy
constructor into a format independent piece and a format dependent
piece.
This function is necessary to properly implement pv_set_mda_ignored().

A metadata_area is defined independent of the location. One downside
is that there is no obvious mapping from a pv to an mda. For a PV in
a VG, we need a way to start with a PV and end up with an MDA, if we
are to manage mdas starting with a device/pv. This function provides
us a way to go down the list of PVs on a VG, and identify which ones
match a particular PV.
I'm not entirely happy with this approach, but it does fit into the
existing structures in a reasonable way.
An alternative solution might be to refactor the VG - PV interface such
that mdas are a list tied to a PV. However, this seemed a bit tricky since
a PV does not come into existence until after the list of mdas is
constructed (see _vg_read() - we create a 'fid' and attach mdas to it,
then we go through them and attach pvs).

We'd like to pass in mda_header to vgname_from_mda(). In order to
do this, we need to call raw_read_mda_header() from text_label.c,
_text_read(), which gets called from the label_read() path, and
peers into the metadata and update vginfo cache. We should check
the disable bit here, and if set, not peer into the vg metadata,
thus reducing the I/O to disk.
In the process, move vgname_from_mda() to layout.h, since the fn
only gets called from format_text code, and we need the mda_header
definition from the private layout.h.

This refactoring moves the device open/close up one level to the caller of
_vg_read_raw_area(). Should be no functional change and facilitate future
changes related to metadata balancing.

First we add a 'flags' field to the location independent
metadata_area structure, and a MDA_IGNORE flag. The
mda_is_ignored and mda_set_ignored functions are added to
manage the flag. Adding the flag and functions gives a
library interface to ignore metadata areas independent of
the underlying location (disk, file, etc). The location
specific read/write functions must then handle the specifics
of what this flag means to the location.
