9d445f371c report: leave empty report field for 0
Since we do not support LVs with 0 size, use this value
as 'error' value for devices without origin, and leave this
field blank as in other cases.

801d4f96a8 RAID: Improve 'lvs' attribute reporting of RAID LVs and sub-LVs
There are currently a few issues with the reporting done on RAID LVs and
sub-LVs.  The most concerning is that 'lvs' does not always report the
correct failure status of individual RAID sub-LVs (devices).  This can
occur when a device fails and is restored after the failure has been
detected by the kernel.  In this case, 'lvs' would report all devices are
fine because it can read the labels on each device just fine.
Example:
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvs -a -o name,vg_name,attr,copy_percent,devices vg
  LV            VG   Attr      Cpy%Sync Devices
  lv            vg   rwi-a-r--   100.00 lv_rimage_0(0),lv_rimage_1(0)
  [lv_rimage_0] vg   iwi-aor--          /dev/sda1(1)
  [lv_rimage_1] vg   iwi-aor--          /dev/sdb1(1)
  [lv_rmeta_0]  vg   ewi-aor--          /dev/sda1(0)
  [lv_rmeta_1]  vg   ewi-aor--          /dev/sdb1(0)

However, 'dmsetup status' on the device tells us a different story:
  [root@bp-01 lvm2]# dmsetup status vg-lv
  0 1024000 raid raid1 2 DA 1024000/1024000

In this case, we must also be sure to check the RAID LVs kernel status
in order to get the proper information.  Here is an example of the correct
output that is displayed after this patch is applied:
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvs -a -o name,vg_name,attr,copy_percent,devices vg
  LV            VG   Attr      Cpy%Sync Devices
  lv            vg   rwi-a-r-p   100.00 lv_rimage_0(0),lv_rimage_1(0)
  [lv_rimage_0] vg   iwi-aor-p          /dev/sda1(1)
  [lv_rimage_1] vg   iwi-aor--          /dev/sdb1(1)
  [lv_rmeta_0]  vg   ewi-aor-p          /dev/sda1(0)
  [lv_rmeta_1]  vg   ewi-aor--          /dev/sdb1(0)

The other case where 'lvs' gives incomplete or improper output is when a
device is replaced or added to a RAID LV.  It should display that the RAID
LV is in the process of sync'ing and that the new device is the only one
that is not-in-sync - as indicated by a leading 'I' in the Attr column.
(Remember that 'i' indicates an (i)mage that is in-sync and 'I' indicates
an (I)mage that is not in sync.)  Here's an example of the old incorrect
behaviour:
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvs -a -o name,vg_name,attr,copy_percent,devices vg
  LV            VG   Attr      Cpy%Sync Devices
  lv            vg   rwi-a-r--   100.00 lv_rimage_0(0),lv_rimage_1(0)
  [lv_rimage_0] vg   iwi-aor--          /dev/sda1(1)
  [lv_rimage_1] vg   iwi-aor--          /dev/sdb1(1)
  [lv_rmeta_0]  vg   ewi-aor--          /dev/sda1(0)
  [lv_rmeta_1]  vg   ewi-aor--          /dev/sdb1(0)
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvconvert -m +1 vg/lv; lvs -a -o name,vg_name,attr,copy_percent,devices vg
  LV            VG   Attr      Cpy%Sync Devices
  lv            vg   rwi-a-r--     0.00 lv_rimage_0(0),lv_rimage_1(0),lv_rimage_2(0)
  [lv_rimage_0] vg   Iwi-aor--          /dev/sda1(1)
  [lv_rimage_1] vg   Iwi-aor--          /dev/sdb1(1)
  [lv_rimage_2] vg   Iwi-aor--          /dev/sdc1(1)
  [lv_rmeta_0]  vg   ewi-aor--          /dev/sda1(0)
  [lv_rmeta_1]  vg   ewi-aor--          /dev/sdb1(0)
  [lv_rmeta_2]  vg   ewi-aor--          /dev/sdc1(0)                            ** Note that all the images currently are marked as 'I' even though it is
   only the last device that has been added that should be marked.

Here is an example of the correct output after this patch is applied:
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvs -a -o name,vg_name,attr,copy_percent,devices vg
  LV            VG   Attr      Cpy%Sync Devices

f7da1caf8d blkdeactivate: fix handling of nested mountpoints and mangled mount paths.
If there was a nested mountpoint inside an existing mount path,
blkdeactivate could fail to unmount such a mountpoint as it
needs to deactivate the deepest path first and continue upwards.

For example the simplest reproducer:

[root@rhel6-a ~]# lsblk
NAME                        MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda                           8:0    0    4G  0 disk
|-vg-lvol0 (dm-2)           253:2    0   32M  0 lvm  /mnt/a
`-vg-lvol1 (dm-3)           253:3    0   32M  0 lvm  /mnt/a/b

Before this patch:

[root@rhel6-a ~]# blkdeactivate -u
Deactivating block devices:
  UMOUNT: unmounting vg-lvol0 (dm-2) mounted on /mnt/a
umount: /mnt/a: device is busy.
        (In some cases useful info about processes that use
         the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1))
  UMOUNT: unmounting vg-lvol1 (dm-3) mounted on /mnt/a/b
  LVM: deactivating Logical Volume vg/lvol1

(deactivation of vg/lvol0 is skipped as /mnt/a that is on lvol0
can't be unmounted - it still has /mnt/a/b as nested mountpoint!)

With this patch applied:

[root@rhel6-a ~]# blkdeactivate -u
Deactivating block devices:
  UMOUNT: unmounting vg-lvol1 (dm-3) mounted on /mnt/a/b
  UMOUNT: unmounting vg-lvol0 (dm-2) mounted on /mnt/a
  LVM: deactivating Logical Volume vg/lvol0
  LVM: deactivating Logical Volume vg/lvol1

===

Also, this patch contains a fix for processing mangled mount paths:

[root@rhel6-a ~]# lsblk
NAME                        MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda                           8:0    0    4G  0 disk
`-vg-lvol0 (dm-2)           253:2    0   32M  0 lvm  /mnt/x y z

[root@rhel6-a ~]# lsblk -r
vg-lvol0 253:2 0 32M 0 lvm /mnt/x\x20y\x20z

(the mount path is mangled with \xNN that is visible in raw
lsblk output only and which is used in blkdeactive as well)

Before this patch:

[root@rhel6-a ~]# blkdeactivate -u
Deactivating block devices:
  umount: /mnt/x\x20y\x20z: not found

After this patch applied:

[root@rhel6-a ~]# blkdeactivate -u
Deactivating block devices:
  UMOUNT: unmounting vg-lvol0 (dm-2) mounted on /mnt/x\x20y\x20z
  LVM: deactivating Logical Volume vg/lvol0

8bcc1da2f3 locales: use higher prio LC_ALL variable
For reseting locale environment into significantly less memory
consuming version 'C' - use LC_ALL instead of LANG since it has
higher priority in locale settings.

Otherwise we may observe whole locale-archive which might be
over 100MB on i.e. Fedora systems locked in memory with
some daemons.

7f747a0d73 logging: add debug classes
Add log/debug_classes to lvm.conf to allow debug messages to be
classified and filtered at runtime.

The dm_errno field is only used by log_error(), so I've redefined it
for log_debug() messages to hold the message class.

By default, all existing messages appear, but we can add categories that
generate high volumes of data, such as logging all traffic to/from
lvmetad.

ad85b0c526 pvscan: synchronize with udev if pvscan --cache is used.
We need to call sync_local_dev_names directly as pvscan uses
VG_GLOBAL lock and this one *does not* cause the synchronization
(sync_dev_names) to be called on unlock (VG_GLOBAL is not a real VG):

define unlock_vg(cmd, vol)
  do { \
    if (is_real_vg(vol)) \
      sync_dev_names(cmd); \
    (void) lock_vol(cmd, vol, LCK_VG_UNLOCK); \
  } while (0)

Without this fix, we end up without udev synchronization for the
pvscan --cache (mainly for -aay that causes the VGs/LVs to be
autoactivated) and also udev synchronization cookies are then left
in the system since they're not managed properly (code before sets
up udev sync cookies, but we have to call dm_udev_wait at least once
after that to do the wait and cleanup).

756bcabbfe activation: fix autoactivation to not trigger on each PV change
Before, the pvscan --cache -aay was called on each ADD and CHANGE
uevent (for a device that is not a device-mapper device) and each CHANGE
event (for a PV that is a device-mapper device).

This causes troubles with autoactivation in some cases as CHANGE event
may originate from using the OPTION+="watch" udev rule that is defined
in 60-persistent-storage.rules (part of the rules provided by udev
directly) and it's used for all block devices
(except fd*|mtd*|nbd*|gnbd*|btibm*|dm-*|md* devices). For example, the
following sequence incorrectly activates the rest of LVs in a VG if one
of the LVs in the VG is being removed:

[root@rhel6-a ~]# pvcreate /dev/sda
  Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created

[root@rhel6-a ~]# vgcreate vg /dev/sda
  Volume group "vg" successfully created

[root@rhel6-a ~]# lvcreate -l1 vg
  Logical volume "lvol0" created

[root@rhel6-a ~]# lvcreate -l1 vg
  Logical volume "lvol1" created

[root@rhel6-a ~]# vgchange -an vg
  0 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg" now active

[root@rhel6-a ~]# lvs
  LV      VG        Attr      LSize   Pool Origin Data%  Move Log
Cpy%Sync Convert
  lvol0   vg        -wi------   4.00m
  lvol1   vg        -wi------   4.00m

[root@rhel6-a ~]# lvremove -ff vg/lvol1
  Logical volume "lvol1" successfully removed

[root@rhel6-a ~]# lvs
  LV      VG        Attr      LSize   Pool Origin Data%  Move Log
Cpy%Sync Convert
  lvol0   vg        -wi-a----   4.00m

...so the vg was deactivated, then lvol1 removed, and we end up with
lvol1 removed (which is ok) BUT with lvol0 activated (which is wrong)!!!
This is because after lvol1 removal, we need to write metadata to the
underlying device /dev/sda and that causes the CHANGE event to be
generated (because of the WATCH udev rule set on this device) and this
causes the pvscan --cache -aay to be reevaluated.

We have to limit this and call pvscan --cache -aay to autoactivate
VGs/LVs only in these cases:

 --> if the *PV is not a dm device*, scan only after proper device
addition (ADD event) and not with any other changes (CHANGE event)

 --> if the *PV is a dm device*, scan only after proper mapping
activation (CHANGE event + the underlying PV in a state "just
activated")

970dfbcd69 RAID: Limit replacement of devices when array is not in-sync.
If a RAID array is not in-sync, replacing devices should not be allowed
as a general rule.  This is because the contents used to populate the
incoming device may be undefined because the devices being read where
not in-sync.  The kernel enforces this rule unless overridden by not
allowing the creation of an array that is not in-sync and includes a
devices that needs to be rebuilt.

Since we cannot know the sync state of an LV if it is inactive, we must
also enforce the rule that an array must be active to replace devices.

That leaves us with the following conditions:
1) never allow replacement or repair of devices if the LV is in-active
2) never allow replacement if the LV is not in-sync
3) allow repair if the LV is not in-sync, but warn that contents may
   not be recoverable.

In the case where a user is performing the repair on the command line via
'lvconvert --repair', the warning is printed before the user is prompted
if they would like to replace the device(s).  If the repair is automated
(i.e. via dmeventd and policy is "allocate"), then the device is replaced
if possible and the warning is printed.

ec49f07b0d mirrors: fix leak in device_is_usable mirror check
Function _ignore_blocked_mirror_devices was not release

Swaped return code of _ignore_blocked_mirror_devices and
use 1 as success.

In _parse_mirror_status use log_error if memory allocation
fails and few more errors so they are no going unnoticed
as debug messages.

On error path always clear return values and free strings.

4891a735d3 udev: recognize DM_DISABLE_UDEV environment variable
Setting this environment variable will cause a full fallback
to old direct node and symlink management in libdevmapper and lvm2.

It means:

 - disabling udev synchronization
   (--noudevsync in dmsetup and --noudevsync + activation/udev_sync=0
    lvm2 config)
 - disabling dm and any subsystem related udev rules
   (--noudevrules in dmsetup and activation/udev_rules=0 lvm2 config)
 - management of nodes/symlinks under /dev directly by libdevmapper/lvm2
   (--verifyudev in dmsetup and activation/verify_udev_operations=1
    lvm2 config)
 - not obtaining any device list from udev database
   (devices/obtain_device_list_from_udev=0 lvm2 config)

Note: we could set all of these before - there's no functional change!
However the DM_DISABLE_UDEV environment variable is a nice shortcut
to make it easier for libdevmapper users so that one can switch off all
of the udev management off at one go directly on the command line,
without a need to modify any source or add any extra switches.

fb8cc7c63f udev: do not verify udev operations for --noudevsync
If udev synchronization is disabled by means of --noudevsync
option, we should disable just the synchronization and nothing else.
The udev fallback (verifying udev operations and fixing the
nodes/symlinks if found incorrect) is orthogonal and controlled
by a separate activation/verify_udev_operations configuration option.

09b7ceea95 thin: allow restore with --force
Allow restoring metadata with thin pool volumes.
No validation is done for this case within vgcfgrestore tool -
thus incorrect metadata may lead to destruction of pool content.

b3e9a09abe RAID: If no stripes argument is given for RAID10 create, default to 2
Similar to the way the 'mirror', 'raid1' and 'raid10' segment types set
the number of mirrors to 2 ('-m 1') if the argument is not specified,
here we set the number of stripes to 2 if not given on the command line
when creating a RAID10 LV.

fb0cee9a66 RAID: Do not allow --splitmirrors on RAID10 logical volumes.
RAID10 does not have the ability to split off images for independent
use.  So, 'lvconvert --splitmirrors' will not work and must be
disallowed.

f4137640f6 thin: add common pool functions
Move common functions for lvcreate and lvconvert.

get_pool_params() - read thin pool args.
update_pool_params() - updates/validates some thin args.

It is getting complicated and even few more things will be
implemented, so to avoid reimplementing things differently
in lvcreate and lvconvert  code has been splitted
into 2 common functions that allow some future extension.

54c73b7723 mirror: Mirrored log should be fixed before mirror when double fault occurs
This patch is intended to fix bug 825323 - FS turns read-only during a double
fault of a mirror leg and mirrored log's leg at the same time.  It only
affects a 2-way mirror with a mirrored log.  3+-way mirrors and mirrors
without a mirrored log are not affected.

The problem resulted from the fact that the top level mirror was not
using 'noflush' when suspending before its "down-convert".  When a
mirror image fails, the bios are queue until a suspend is recieved.  If
it is a 'noflush' suspend, the bios can be safely requeued in the DM
core.  If 'noflush' is not used, the bios must be pushed through the
target and if a device is failed for a mirror, that means issuing an
error.  When an error is received by a file system, it results in it
turning read-only (depending on the FS).

Part of the problem was is due to the nature of the stacking involved in
using a mirror as a mirror's log.  When an image in each fail, the top
level mirror stalls because it is waiting for a log flush.  The other
stalls waiting for corrective action.  When the repair command is issued,
the entire stacked arrangement is collapsed to a linear LV.  The log
flush then fails (somewhat uncleanly) and the top-level mirror is suspended
without 'noflush' because it is a linear device.

This patch allows the log to be repaired first, which in turn allows the
top-level mirror's log flush to complete cleanly.  The top-level mirror
is then secondarily reduced to a linear device - at which time this mirror
is suspended properly with 'noflush'.
