1ea8afd3ca lvmconfig: add --sinceversion for --type new
Just for convenience to display all new configuration settings
introduced since given version (before, there was only --atversion
to display settings introduced in concrete version).

For example:
	$ lvmconfig --type new --sinceversion 2.2.120
	allocation {
		# cache_mode="writethrough"
		# cache_settings {
		# }
	}
	global {
		use_lvmlockd=0
		# lvmlockd_lock_retries=3
		# sanlock_lv_extend=256
		use_lvmpolld=1
	}
	activation {
	}
	# report {
		# compact_output_cols=""
		# time_format="%Y-%m-%d %T %z"
	# }
	local {
		# host_id=0
	}

193e7f5973 config: check vdef pointer before dereference
Coverity notices we check for v_def != NULL elsewhere, so it thinks
it may be possibly NULL also here.

8d258c7df4 coverity: hint
Here Coverity cannot see the pointer cannot be NULL in this
code path - opened coverity case #00531860.

We could make a model to avoid seeing related reports,
but then we loose coverage for modeled function.

So decided to add minor hint for this case.

8bfcefe11a config: add CFG_SECTION_NO_CHECK flag
The CFG_SECTION_NO_CHECK flag can be used to mark a section
and its whole subtree as containing settings where checks
won't be made (lvmconfig --validate).

These are setting where we don't know the names and and type
in advance and they're recognized in runtime. As we don't know
the type and name in advance, we can't do any checks here
of course.

Use this flag with great care as it disables config checks
for the whole config subtree found under such section.

This flag is going to be used by subsequent patches from
Zdenek to support some cache settings...

d10fb73f63 config: also log the value used if defined in config, not just defaults
Commit 7e728fe1a1 added a log call
directly in find_config_tree_array when defaults are used.

This patch also adds the log for the value which is found in
existing configuration and for which defaults are not used.

For example:

Defaults used:
config/config.c:1428   devices/scan not found in config: defaulting to scan = [ "/dev" ]

Value defined in configuration used:
config/config.c:1431   Setting devices/scan to scan = [ "/dev", "/mydev", "/abc" ]

This makes the logging consistent with the other find_config_tree_* functions.

67a61cce1b config: add find_config_tree_array
Before, we used general find_config_tree_node function to retrieve
array values. This had a downside where if the node was not found,
we had to insert default values directly in-situ after the
find_config_tree_node call. This way, we had two copies of default
values - one in config_settings.h and the other one directly in the
code where we found out that find_config_tree_node returned NULL and
hence we needed to fall back to defaults.

With separate find_config_tree_array used for array config values,
we keep all the defaults centrally in config_settings.h because
the new find_config_tree_array automatically returns these defaults
if it can't find any value set in the configuration.

This patch just makes the behaviour exactly the same for arrays as
for any other non-array type where we call find_config_tree_<type>
already, hence making the internal interface for handling array
values consistent with the rest of the config types.

844707067b lvmconfig: do not display settings with undefined default values
Do not display settings with undefined default values, but do display
these settings in case the value is defined directly in any part of
the existing config cascade.

For example, the lvmconfig --type current always displays these settings
(as it's somewhere in "current" configuration cascade that makes it defined).
The lvmconfig --type full displays these settings only if it's defined
somewhere in the cascade, but not if default value is used instead
The lvmconfig --type default never displays these settings...

More concrete example - let's have activation/volume_list directly
set in lvm.conf and activation/read_only_volume_list not set.
Both of these settings have *undefined default* values.

  $lvmconfig --type full activation/volume_list activation/read_only_volume_list
  volume_list="/dev/vg/lv"

(...only volume_list is defined, hence it's printed)

However, the comments will display more info (see also previous commit):

  $lvmconfig --type full activation/volume_list activation/read_only_volume_list --withsummary

  # Configuration option activation/volume_list.
  # Only LVs selected by this list are activated.
  # This configuration option does not have a default value defined.
  # Value defined in existing configuration has been used for this setting.
  volume_list="/dev/vg/lv"

  # Configuration option activation/read_only_volume_list.
  # LVs in this list are activated in read-only mode.
  # This configuration option does not have a default value defined.

c794c163b5 lvmconfig: add --type full to display full tree of settings
The lvmconfig --type full is actually a combination of --type current
and --type missing together with --mergedconfig options used.

The overall outcome is a configuration tree with settings as LVM sees
it when it looks for the values - that means, if the setting is defined
in some config source (lvm.conf, --config, lvmlocal.conf or any profile
that is used), the setting is used. Otherwise, if the setting is not
defined in any part of the config cascade, the defaults are used.

The --type full displays exactly this final tree with all the values
defined, either coming from configuration tree or from defaults.

9465963faf config: add support for config value formatting flags
There are two basic groups of formatting flags (32 bits):
  - common ones applicable for all config value types (lower 16 bits)
  - type-related formatting flags (higher 16 bits)

With this patch, we initially support four new flags that
modify the the way the config value is displayed:

  Common flags:
  =============

  DM_CONFIG_VALUE_FMT_COMMON_ARRAY - causes array config values
    to be enclosed in "[ ]" even if there's only one item
    (previously, there was no way to recognize an array with one
     item and scalar value, hence array values with one member
     were always displayed without "[ ]" which libdm accepted
     when reading, but it may have been misleading for users)

  DM_CONFIG_VALUE_FMT_COMMON_EXTRA_SPACE - causes extra spaces to
    be inserted in "key = value" (or key = [ value, value, ... ] in
    case of arrays), compared to "key=value" seen on output before.
    This makes the output more readable for users.

  Type-related flags:
  ===================

  DM_CONFIG_VALUE_FMT_INT_OCTAL - prints integers in octal form with
    "0" as a prefix (libdm's config reading code can handle this via
    strtol just fine so it's properly recognized as number in octal
    form already if there's "0" used as prefix)

  DM_CONFIG_VALUE_FMT_STRING_NO_QUOTES - makes it possible to print
    strings without enclosing " "

This patch also adds dm_config_value_set_format_flags and
dm_config_value_get_format_flags functions to set and get
these formatting flags.

fc65269d68 lvmconfig: add supporting code for handling deprecated settings
This patch adds supporting code for handling deprecated settings.

Deprecated settings are not displayed by default in lvmconfig output
(except for --type current and --type diff). There's a new
"--showdeprecated" lvmconfig option to display them if needed.

Also, when using lvmconfig --withcomments, the comments with info
about deprecation are displayed for deprecated settings and with
lvmconfig --withversions, the version in which the setting was
deprecated is displayed in addition to the version of introduction.

If using --atversion with a version that is lower than the one
in which the setting was deprecated, the setting is then considered
as not deprecated (simply because at that version it was not
deprecated).

For example:

$ lvmconfig --type default activation
activation {
        ...
	raid_region_size=512
        ...
}

$ lvmconfig --type default activation --showdeprecated
activation {
        ...
	mirror_region_size=512
	raid_region_size=512
        ...
}

$ lvmconfig --type default activation --showdeprecated --withversions
activation {
        ...
	# Available since version 1.0.0.
	# Deprecated since version 2.2.99.
	mirror_region_size=512
	# Available since version 2.2.99.
	raid_region_size=512
        ...
}

$ lvmconfig --type default activation --showdeprecated --withcomments
activation {
        ...
	# Configuration option activation/mirror_region_size.
	# This has been replaced by the activation/raid_region_size
	# setting.
	# Size (in KB) of each copy operation when mirroring.
	# This configuration option is deprecated.
	mirror_region_size=512

	# Configuration option activation/raid_region_size.
	# Size in KiB of each raid or mirror synchronization region.
	# For raid or mirror segment types, this is the amount of
	# data that is copied at once when initializing, or moved
	# at once by pvmove.
	raid_region_size=512
        ...
}

$ lvmconfig --type default activation --withcomments --atversion 2.2.98
activation {
       ...
       # Configuration option activation/mirror_region_size.
       # Size (in KB) of each copy operation when mirroring.
       mirror_region_size=512
       ...
}

4388ab477c lvmconfig: comment out settings with proper space/tab prefix
We're commenting out settings with undefined default values.
The comment character '#' was printed at the very beginning of
the line, it should be placed just at the beginning of the setting,
after the space/tab prefix is printed.

  $ lvmconfig --type default activation
  activation {
           ...
  #        volume_list=[]
           ...
  }

8b6b90b073 config: consolidate CFG_UNSUPPORTED and CFG_ADVANCED settings
These settings are in the "unsupported" group:

devices/loopfiles
log/activate_file
metadata/disk_areas (section)
metadata/disk_areas/<disk_area> (section)
metadata/disk_areas/<disk_area>/size
metadata/disk_areas/<disk_area>/id

These settings are in the "advanced" group:

devices/dir
devices/scan
devices/types
global/proc
activation/missing_stripe_filler
activation/mlock_filter
metadata/pvmetadatacopies
metadata/pvmetadataignore
metadata/stripesize
metadata/dirs

Also, this patch causes the --ignoreunsupported and --ignoreadvanced
switches to be honoured for all config types (lvmconfig --type).

By default, the --type current and --type diff display unsupported
settings, the other types ignore them - this patch also introduces
--showunsupported switch for all these other types to display even
unsupported settings in their output if needed.

3be3eb2995 lvmconfig: add --type list and -l|--list
lvmconfig --type list displays plain list of configuration settings.
Some of the existing decorations can be used (--withsummary and
--withversions) as well as existing options/switches (--ignoreadvanced,
--ignoreunsupported, --ignorelocal, --atversion).

For example (displaying only "config" section so the list is not long):

$lvmconfig --type list config
config/checks
config/abort_on_errors
config/profile_dir

$ lvmconfig --type list --withsummary config
config/checks - If enabled, any LVM configuration mismatch is reported.
config/abort_on_errors - Abort the LVM process if a configuration mismatch is found.
config/profile_dir - Directory where LVM looks for configuration profiles.

$ lvmconfig -l config
config/checks - If enabled, any LVM configuration mismatch is reported.
config/abort_on_errors - Abort the LVM process if a configuration mismatch is found.
config/profile_dir - Directory where LVM looks for configuration profiles.

$ lvmconfig --type list --withsummary --withversions config
config/checks - If enabled, any LVM configuration mismatch is reported. [2.2.99]
config/abort_on_errors - Abort the LVM process if a configuration mismatch is found. [2.2.99]
config/profile_dir - Directory where LVM looks for configuration profiles. [2.2.99]

Example with --atversion (displaying global section):

6407d184d1 cache: Store metadata size and checksum.
Refactor the recent metadata-reading optimisation patches.

Remove the recently-added cache fields from struct labeller
and struct format_instance.

Instead, introduce struct lvmcache_vgsummary to wrap the VG information
that lvmcache holds and add the metadata size and checksum to it.

Allow this VG summary information to be looked up by metadata size +
checksum.  Adjust the debug log messages to make it clear when this
shortcut has been successful.

(This changes the optimisation slightly, and might be extendable
further.)

Add struct cached_vg_fmtdata to format-specific vg_read calls to
preserve state alongside the VG across separate calls and indicate
if the details supplied match, avoiding the need to read and
process the VG metadata again.

e5356eeba1 cleanup: never return uninitialized buffer
Coverity noticed this function may return untouched buffer,
however in this state can't really happen, but anyway
ensure on error path the buffer will have zero lenght string.

9c937e7d54 dumpconfig: add --type profilable-command/profilable-metadata, --metadataprofile/--commandprofile
The dumpconfig now understands --commandprofile/--profile/--metadataprofile

The --commandprofile and --profile functionality is almost the same
with only one difference and that is that the --profile is just used
for dumping the content, it's not applied for the command itself
(while the --commandprofile profile is applied like it is done for
any other LVM command).

We also allow --metadataprofile for dumpconfig - dumpconfig *does not*
touch VG/LV and metadata in any way so it's OK to use it here (just for
dumping the content, checking the profile validity etc.).

The validity of the profile can be checked with:
      dumpconfig --commandprofile/--profile/--metadataprofile --validate

...depending on the profile type.

Also, mention --config in the dumpconfig help string so users know
that  dumpconfig handles this too (it did even before, but it was not
documented in the help string).

9e3e4d6994 config: differentiate command and metadata profiles and consolidate profile handling code
- When defining configuration source, the code now uses separate
  CONFIG_PROFILE_COMMAND and CONFIG_PROFILE_METADATA markers
  (before, it was just CONFIG_PROFILE that did not make the
  difference between the two). This helps when checking the
  configuration if it contains correct set of options which
  are all in either command-profilable or metadata-profilable
  group without mixing these groups together - so it's a firm
  distinction. The "command profile" can't contain
  "metadata profile" and vice versa! This is strictly checked
  and if the settings are mixed, such profile is rejected and
  it's not used. So in the end, the CONFIG_PROFILE_COMMAND
  set of options and CONFIG_PROFILE_METADATA are mutually exclusive
  sets.

- Marking configuration with one or the other marker will also
  determine the way these configuration sources are positioned
  in the configuration cascade which is now:

  CONFIG_STRING -> CONFIG_PROFILE_COMMAND -> CONFIG_PROFILE_METADATA -> CONFIG_FILE/CONFIG_MERGED_FILES

- Marking configuration with one or the other marker will also make
  it possible to issue a command context refresh (will be probably
  a part of a future patch) if needed for settings in global profile
  set. For settings in metadata profile set this is impossible since
  we can't refresh cmd context in the middle of reading VG/LV metadata
  and for each VG/LV separately because each VG/LV can have a different
  metadata profile assinged and it's not possible to change these
  settings at this level.

- When command profile is incorrect, it's rejected *and also* the
  command exits immediately - the profile *must* be correct for the
  command that was run with a profile to be executed. Before this
  patch, when the profile was found incorrect, there was just the
  warning message and the command continued without profile applied.
  But it's more correct to exit immediately in this case.

- When metadata profile is incorrect, we reject it during command
  runtime (as we know the profile name from metadata and not early
  from command line as it is in case of command profiles) and we
  *do continue* with the command as we're in the middle of operation.
  Also, the metadata profile is applied directly and on the fly on
  find_config_tree_* fn call and even if the metadata profile is
  found incorrect, we still need to return the non-profiled value
  as found in the other configuration provided or default value.
  To exit immediately even in this case, we'd need to refactor
  existing find_config_tree_* fns so they can return error. Currently,
  these fns return only config values (which end up with default
  values in the end if the config is not found).

- To check the profile validity before use to be sure it's correct,
  one can use :

    lvm dumpconfig --commandprofile/--metadataprofile ProfileName --validate

  (the --commandprofile/--metadataprofile for dumpconfig will come
   as part of the subsequent patch)

- This patch also adds a reference to --commandprofile and
  --metadataprofile in the cmd help string (which was missing before
  for the --profile for some commands). We do not mention --profile
  now as people should use --commandprofile or --metadataprofile
  directly. However, the --profile is still supported for backward
  compatibility and it's translated as:

    --profile == --metadataprofile for lvcreate, vgcreate, lvchange and vgchange
                 (as these commands are able to attach profile to metadata)

    --profile == --commandprofile for all the other commands
                (--metadataprofile is not allowed there as it makes no sense)

- This patch also contains some cleanups to make the code handling
  the profiles more readable...

c42f72867a config: attach cft_check_handle to each config tree instead of global cmd_context
Before, the cft_check_handle used to direct configuration checking
was part of cmd_context. It's better to attach this as part of the
exact config tree against which the check is done. This patch moves
the cft_check_handle out of cmd_context and it attaches it to the
config tree directly as dm_config_tree->custom->config_source->check_handle.

This change makes it easier to track the config tree check results
and provides less space for bugs as the results are directly attached
to the tree and we don't need to be cautious whether the global value
is correct or not (and whether it needs reinitialization) as it was
in the case when the cft_check_handle was part of cmd_context.

ff9d27a1c7 config: add CONFIG_FILE_SPECIAL config source id
Add CONFIG_FILE_SPECIAL config source id to make a difference between
real configuration tree (like lvm.conf and tag configs) and special purpose
configuration tree (like LVM metadata, persistent filter).

This makes it easier to attach correct customized data to the config
tree that is created out of the source then.
