a164d603d3 vgimportclone: remove arg check that uses pvs
The arg check using pvs is unnecessary.  If the arg is not a PV,
the command will just fail later.  Using the pvs command at this
point in the command is a problem when lvmetad is running, because
the pvs command does not report duplicate PVs when using lvmetad.
(Alternatively, use_lvmetad could be disabled by adding a --config
override to this pvs command.)

158e998876 report: add separate LVSINFOSTATUS field type for info+status combined fields
Add separate LVSINFOSTATUS field type for fields which display both
dm info-like and dm status-like information.

The internal interface is there with the introduction of LVSSTATUS
field type which can cope with the combination of LVSSTATUS
and LVSINFO field types (several fields).

However, till now, we considered that *single* field can display
either LVSINFO or LVSSTATUS, but not both at the same time.

Till now, we haven't had single field which needs both - hence
add LVSINFOSTATUS field type for such fields as we currently
need this for the lv_attr field which requires combination of
info and status.

This patch just adds interface for an ability to register such fields
(the code that copes with this is already in).

b3a348c03c report: use same info also for lv_attr
Recently the single 'status' code has been used for number of cache
features.

Extend the API a little bit to allow usage also for lv_attr_dup.

As the function itself is used in lvm2api - add a new function:
lv_attr_dup_with_info_and_seg_status() that is able to use
grabbed info & status information.

report_init() is now using directly passed lvdm struct pointer
which holds the infomation whether lv_info() was correctly obtained or
there was some error when trying to read it.

Move 'healt' attribute to status.

302b6c99a7 raid_manip: v2 fix multi-segment misallocation on 'lvconvert --repair'
The previous patch felt short WRT disabling allocation on PVs holding other
legs of the RAID LV persistently; this patch introduces an internal,
transient PV flag PV_ALLOCATION_PROHIBITED to address this very problem.

General problem description for completeness:

An 'lvconvert --repair $RAID_LV" to replace a failed leg of a multi-segment
RAID10/4/5/6 logical volume can lead to allocation of (parts of) the replacement
image component pair on the physical volume of another image component
(e.g. image 0 allocated on the same PV as image 1 silently impeding resilience).

Patch fixes this severe resilince issue by prohibiting allocation on PVs
already holding other legs of the RAID set. It allows to allocate free space
on any operational PV already holding parts of the image component pair.

b64da4d8b5 toollib: search for duplicate PVs only when needed
A full search for duplicate PVs in the case of pvs -a
is only necessary when duplicates have previously been
detected in lvmcache.  Use a global variable from lvmcache
to indicate that duplicate PVs exist, so we can skip the
search for duplicates when none exist.

3a7c47af0e toollib: pvs -a should display VG name for each duplicate PV
Previously, 'pvs -a' displayed the VG name for only the device
associated with the cached PV (pv->dev), and other duplicate
devices would have a blank VG name.  This commit displays the
VG name for each of the duplicate devices.  The cost of doing
this is not small: for each PV processed, the list of all
devices must be searched for duplicates.

57d74a45a0 toollib: override the PV device with duplicates
When multiple duplicate devices are specified on the
command line, the PV is processed once for each of them,
but pv->dev is the device used each time.

This overrides the PV device to reflect the duplicate
device that was specified on the command line.  This is
done by hacking the lvmcache to replace pv->dev with the
device of the duplicate being processed.  (It would be
preferable to override pv->dev without munging the content
of the cache, and without sprinkling special cases throughout
the code.)

This override only applies when multiple duplicate devices are
specified on the command line.  When only a single duplicate
device of pv->dev is specified, the priority is to display the
cached pv->dev, so pv->dev is not overridden by the named
duplicate device.

In the examples below, loop3 is the cached device referenced
by pv->dev, and is given priority for processing.  Only after
loop3 is processed/displayed, will other duplicate devices
loop0/loop1 appear (when requested on the command line.)

With two duplicate devices, loop0 and loop3:

c1f246fedf toollib: handle duplicate pvs in process_in_pv
Processes a PV once for each time a device with its PV ID
exists on the command line.

This fixes a regression in the case where:

. devices /dev/sdA and /dev/sdB where clones (same PV ID)

. the cached VG references /dev/sdA

. before the regression, the command: pvs /dev/sdB
  would display the cached device clone /dev/sdA

. after the regression, pvs /dev/sdB would display nothing,
  causing vgimportclone /dev/sdB to fail.

. with this fix, pvs /dev/sdB displays /dev/sdA

Also, pvs /dev/sdA /dev/sdB will report two lines, one for each
device on the command line, but /dev/sdA is displayed for each.

This only works without lvmetad.

8804023825 tests: pvscan --cache DevicePath does not fail if the device is just filtered
It's not an error if the device is filtered out and hence cleared from
lvmetad cache - "pvscan --cache DevPath" has now the same behaviour in
this case as "pvscan --cache major:minor" (which is more consistent).

Before, the tests expected failure return code for "pvscan --cache DevicePath"
if the device was filtered (which is a different situation if the device
is missing in the system completely!).

99d895014d dev-type: filter out partitioned device-mapper devices as unsuitable for use as PVs
Normally, if there are partitions defined on top of device-mapper
device, there should be a device-mapper device created for each
partiton on top of the old one and once the underlying DM device
is used by another devices (partition mappings in this case),
it can't be used as a PV anymore.

However, sometimes, it may happen the partition mappings are
missing - either the partitioning tool is not creating them if
it does not contain full support for device-mapper devices or
the mappings were removed.

Better safe than sorry - check for partition header on DM devs
and filter them out as unsuitable for PVs in case the check is
positive. Whatever the user is doing, let's do our best to prevent
unwanted corruption (...by running pvcreate on top of such device
that would corrupt the partition header).

8dbe767340 pvscan: notify lvmetad about device that is gone and pvscan is run with device path instead of major:minor pair
If pvscan is run with device path instead of major:minor pair and this
device still exists in the system and the device is not visible anymore
(due to a filter that is applied), notify lvmetad properly about this.

This makes it more consistent with respect to existing pvscan with
major:minor which already notifies lvmetad about device that is gone
due to filters.

However, if the device is not in the system anymore, we're not able
to translate the original device path into major:minor pair which
lvmetad needs for its action (lvmetad_pv_gone fn). So in this case,
we still need to use major:minor pair only, not device path. But at
least make "pvscan --cache DevicePath" as near as possible to "pvscan
--cahce <major>:<minor>" functionality.

Also add a note to pvscan man page about this difference when using
pvscan --cache with DevicePath and major:minor pair.

1e4a4d48ae toollib: process_each_pv should match by device
When processing PVs specified on the command line, the arg
name was being matched against pv_dev_name, which will not
always work:

- The PV specified on the command line could be an alias,
  e.g. /dev/disk/by-id/...

- The PV specified on the command line could be any random
  path to the device, e.g. /dev/../dev/sdb

To fix this, first resolve the named PV args to struct device's,
then iterate through the devices for processing.

fb7e2ff493 metadata: add "Failed to write VG <vg_name>." on failed vg_write and revert previous patch
Better than previous patch which changed log_warn to log_error -
we can have multiple MDAs and if one of them fails to be written,
we can still continue with other MDAs if we're in a mode where
we can handle missing PVs - so keep the log_warn for single
failed MDA write as it was before.

However, add log_error with "Failed to write VG <vg_name>." in
case we're not handling missing PVs or no MDA was written at all
during VG write process. This also prevents an internal error in
which the vg_write fails and we're not issuing any other log_error
in vg_write caller or above, so we end up with:
  "Internal error: Failed command did not use log_error".

c0e17bca90 dev_manager: do not mark snapshot origins as unusable devices just because of possible blocked mirror underneath
At first, all snapshot-origins where marked as unusable unconditionally
here, but we can't cut off whole snapshot-origin use in a stack just
because of this possible mirror state. This whole "device_is_usable"
check was even incorrectly part of persistent filter before commit
a843d0d97c66aae1872c05b0f6cf4bda176aae2 (where filter cleanup was
done).

The persistent filter is used only if obtain_device_list_from_udev=0,
which means that the former check for snapshot-origin here had not even
been hit with default configuration for a few years before commit
a843d0d97c66aae1872c05b0f6cf4bda176aae2 (the check for snapshot-origin and
skipping of this LV was introduced with commit a71d6051ed
back in 2010).

The obtain_device_list_from_udev=1 (and hence not using persistent
filter and hence not hitting this check for snapshot-origins and skipping) has been
in action since commit edcda01a1e (that is 2011).
So for 3 years this condition was not even checked with default configuration,
making it superfluous.

This all changed in 2014 with commit 8a843d0d97
where "filter-usable" is introduced  and since then all snapshot-origins
have been marked as unusable more often than before and making snapshot-origins
practically unusable in a stack.

This patch removes this incorrect check from commit a71d6051ed
which caused snapshot-origins to be unusable more often recently.

If we want to fix this eventually in a correct way, we need to look
down the stack and if snapshot-origin is hit and there's a blocked
mirror underneath, only then mark the device as unusable. But mirrors
in stack are not supported anymore so it's questionable whether it's
worth spending more time on this at all...

ff1eca3b6f mirror: do not try to reactivate inactive mirror when removing its LVs which have missing PVs
When mirror has missing PVs and there are mirror images on those missing
PVs, we delete the images and during this delete operation, we also
reactivate the LV. But if we're trying to reactivate the LV in cluster
which is not active and at the same time cmirrord is not running (which
is OK since we may have created the mirror LV as inactive), we end up
with:
  "Error locking on node <node_name>: Shared cluster mirrors are not available."

That is because we're trying to activate the mirror LV without cmirrord.
However, there's no need to do this reactivation if the mirror LV (and
hence it's sub LVs) were not activated before.

This issue caused failure in mirror-vgreduce-removemissing.sh test
recently with this sequence (excerpt from the test script):

  prepare_lvs_
  lvcreate -an -Zn -l2 --type mirror -m1 --nosync -n $lv1 $vg "$dev1" $dev2" "$dev3":$BLOCKS
  mimages_are_on_ $lv1 "$dev1" "$dev2"
  mirrorlog_is_on_ $lv1 "$dev3"
  aux disable_dev "$dev2"
  vgreduce --removemissing --force $vg

The important thing about that test is that we're not running cmirrord,
we're activating the mirror with "-an" so it's inactive and then
vgreduce --removemissing tries to reactivate the mirror images
as part of the _delete_lv function call inside and since cmirrord
is not running, we end up with the "Shared cluster mirrors are not
available." error.

509650ec4c cmirror: do not check for cmirror availability when creating deactivated cluster mirrors
When creating cluster mirrors while they're not supposed to be activated
immediately after creation, we don't need to check for cmirrord availability.
We can just create these mirrors and let the check to be done on activation
later on. This is addendum for commit cba6186325.

cba6186325 cmirror: check for cmirror availability during cluster mirror creation and activation
When creating/activating clustered mirrors, we should have cmirrord
available and running. If it's not, we ended up with rather cryptic
errors like:

$ lvcreate -l1 -m1 --type mirror vg
  Error locking on node 1: device-mapper: reload ioctl on  failed: Invalid argument
  Failed to activate new LV.

$ vgchange -ay vg
  Error locking on node node 1: device-mapper: reload ioctl on failed: Invalid argument

This patch adds check for cmirror availability and it errors out
properly, also giving a more precise error messge so users are able
to identify the source of the problem easily:

$ lvcreate -l1 -m1 --type mirror vg
  Shared cluster mirrors are not available.

$ vgchange -ay vg
  Error locking on node 1: Shared cluster mirrors are not available.

Exclusively activated cluster mirror LVs are OK even without cmirrord:

$ vgchange -aey vg
  1 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg" now active

3e0ed83bc8 libdm: report: add more comments about helper macros to get reserved values
Since GET_FIELD_RESERVED_VALUE always returns a pointer, don't reference
it with "&" when used - we already have that pointer value (this is an
addendum to recent commit 028ff30947).

Only GET_TYPE_RESERVED_VALUE needs to be referenced with "&" as it
returns directly the value of that type.

57af48d734 report: fix segfault on NULL value hit in cache_settings field
We have to use empty list, not NULL if we want to denote that the list
has no items. Otherwise, the code further can segfault as it expects
there's always a sane value (= some list), including empty list,
but never NULL.
