To allow the IDM locking scheme be used by users, this patch hooks the
IDM wrapper; it also introducs a new locking type "idm" and we can use
it for global lock with option '-g idm'.
To support IDM locking type, the main change in the data structure is to
add pvs path arrary. The pvs list is transferred from the lvm commands,
when lvmlockd core layer receives message, it extracts the message with
the keyword "path[idx]". Finally, the pv list will pass to IDM lock
manager as the target drives for sending IDM SCSI commands.

Alongside the existed locking schemes of DLM and sanlock, this patch is
to introduce new locking scheme: In-Drive-Mutex (IDM).
With the IDM support in the drive, the locks are resident in the drive,
thus, the locking lease is maintained in a central place: the drive
firmware. We can consider this is a typical client-server model,
every host (or node) in the server cluster launches the request for
leasing mutex to a drive firmware, the drive firmware works as an
arbitrator to grant the mutex to a requester and it can reject other
applicants if the mutex has been acquired. To satisfy the LVM
activation for different modes, IDM supports two locking modes:
exclusive and shareable.
Every IDM is identified with two IDs, one is the host ID and another is
the resource ID. The resource ID is a unique identifier for what the
resource it's protected, in the integration with lvmlockd, the resource
ID is combined with VG's UUID and LV's UUID; for the global locking,
the bytes in resource ID are all zeros, and for the VG locking, the
LV's UUID is set as zero. Every host can generate a random UUID and
use it as the host ID for the SCSI command, this ID is used to clarify
the ownership for mutex.
For easily invoking the IDM commands to drive, like other locking
scheme (e.g. sanlock), a daemon program named IDM lock manager is
created, so the detailed IDM SCSI commands are encapsulated in the
daemon, and lvmlockd uses the wrapper APIs to communicate with the
daemon program.
This patch introduces the IDM locking wrapper layer, it forwards the
locking requests from lvmlockd to the IDM lock manager, and returns the
result from drives' responding.
One thing should be mentioned is the IDM's LVB. IDM supports LVB to max
7 bytes when stores into the drive, the most significant byte of 8 bytes
is reserved for control bits. For this reason, the patch maps the
timestamp in macrosecond unit with its cached LVB, essentially, if any
timestamp was updated by other nodes, that means the local LVB is
invalidate. When the timestamp is stored into drive's LVB, it's
possbile to cause time-going-backwards issue, which is introduced by the
time precision or missing synchronization acrossing over multiple nodes.
So the IDM wrapper fixes up the timestamp by increment 1 to the latest
value and write back into drive.
Currently LVB is used to track VG changes and its purpose is to notify
lvmetad cache invalidation when detects any metadata has been altered;
but lvmetad is not used anymore for caching metadata, LVB doesn't
really work. It's possible that the LVB functionality could be useful
again in the future, so let's enable it for IDM in the first place.

When the device is not a PV print
"No PV found on device ..."
instead of
"Failed to read lvm info for ... PVID ."
an earlier check had been added with a different
message for the same condition.
error reading dev and no pvid on dev were both
returning 0. make it easier for callers to
know which, if they care.
return 1 if the device could be read, regardless
of whether a pvid was found or not.
set has_pvid=1 if a pvid is found and 0 if no
pvid is found.
While we heavily try to spot arrays that are not yet in-sync,
some kernels tends to block our lvm2 command in kernel,
while we resume these smaller raid arrays even for 5 seconds.
But since the result is not really wrong - report these
check failures only as TEST WARNING.
Missed -l option in man page, although users should prefer
lvresize -r when the also want to do a volume management,
as there they can specify i.e. extents for allocation.
Also mention dm-crypt support in command description.
If the 'act' has been already processed by add_client_result()
it could have been possibly release - so avoid accessin 'act->'
afterward and go for next item directly.
This case happens when i.e. we convert LV to another type,
when we change existing LV into a different type - so change
to debug level and avoid confusing users with message about
Device path not match.
We may eventually enhnace caching code to drop cached info
after taking lock and reading VG.
With commit 0b18c25d93 there
was introduced 'zalloc()' for allocation of outdates pvs,
but no matching 'free()' is present.
Switch to use cmd mempool instead of adding free() code into
several places.
If a cmd def implies an LV type without --type
in the required options, then include the implied
type in the cmd def as AUTOTYPE: <type>
instead of including the redundant --type foo
in the OO list of options.
Including an implied --type in the OO list would
often cause multiple cmd defs to potentially be
identical when options were used, and a user
command could match more than one cmd def.
The AUTOTYPE values are listed in man page and
help output as
[ --type foo (implied) ]
If a user command includes --type, it will usually
match a cmd def with --type in the required options.
But, if the user command matches a cmd def with
AUTOTYPE, then the specifed --type and AUTOTYPE must
match.
The man-generator program has a new --check
option that compares cmd defs to find any cmd defs
that are equivalent with the use of options,
and should have their options adjusted.
