286a793c12 lvconvert: fix conversion to 'mirrored' mirror log with larger regionsize
merge.c:_check_lv_segment() was checking regionsize vs. mirrored LV size on
any 'mirror/raid1/raid10' segment type including type 'mirrored' mirror logs.

Avoid the check only for 'mirrored' mirror logs to allow conversion from log
type 'disk' with regionsize > mirror log SubLV size.

As we disabled support for 'mirrored' mirror logs with
commit e82303fd6a which still conditionally
allows to enable it via global/support_mirrored_mirror_logs=1,
patch is mandatory for all distributions.

bc39d5bec6 pool: zero metadata
To avoid polution of metadata with some 'garbage' content or eventualy
some leak of stale data in case user want to upload metadata somewhere,
ensure upon allocation the metadata device is fully zeroed.

Behaviour may slow down allocation of thin-pool or cache-pool a bit
so the old behaviour can be restored with lvm.conf setting:
allocation/zero_metadata=0

892a182975 cachevol: stop dm errors with uncaching cache with cachevol
Fix the anoying kernel message reported:
device-mapper: cache: 253:2: metadata operation 'dm_cache_commit' failed: error = -5
which has been reported while cachevol has been removed.
Happened via confusing variable - so switch the variable to commonly user '_size'
which presents a value in sector units and avoid 'scaling' this as extent length
by vg extent size when placing 'error' target on removal path.

Patch shouldn't have impact on actual users data, since at this moment
of removal all date should have been already flushed to origin device.

29db9c6325 lvcreate: ensure striped raid region size is at least stripe size
The kernel MD runtime requires region size to be larger than stripe size
on striped raid layouts, thus the dm-raid target's constructor rejects
such request.

This causes e.g. an 'lvcreate --type raid10 -i3 -I4096 -R2048 -n lv vg' to fail.

Avoid failing late in the kernel by enforcing region size to be
larger or equal to stripe size.

2a08d6d1d4 cachevol: use CVOL UUID for cdata and cmeta layered devices
Since code is using -cdata and -cmeta UUID suffixes, it does not need
any new 'extra' ID to be generated and stored in metadata.

Since introduce of new 'segtype' cache+CACHE_USES_CACHEVOL we can
safely assume 'new' cache with cachevol will now be created
without extra metadata_id and data_id in metadata.

For backward compatibility, code still reads them in case older
version of metadata have them - so it still should be able
to activate such volumes.

Bonus is lowered size of lv structure used to store info about LV
(noticable with big volume groups).

6612d8dd5e vdo: enhance activation with layer -vpool
Enhance 'activation' experience for VDO pool to more closely match
what happens for thin-pools where we do use a 'fake' LV to keep pool
running even when no thinLVs are active. This gives user a choice
whether he want to keep thin-pool running (wihout possibly lenghty
activation/deactivation process)

As we do plan to support multple VDO LVs to be mapped into a single VDO,
we want to give user same experience and 'use-patter' as with thin-pools.

This patch gives option to activate VDO pool only without activating
VDO LV.

Also due to 'fake' layering LV we can protect usage of VDO pool from
command like 'mkfs' which do require exlusive access to the volume,
which is no longer possible.

Note: VDO pool contains 1024 initial sectors as 'empty' header - such
header is also exposed in layered LV (as read-only LV).
For blkid we are indentified as LV with UUID suffix - thus private DM
device of lvm2 - so we do not need to store any extra info in this
header space (aka zero is good enough).

66f69e766e thin: activate layer pool aas read-only LV
When lvm2 is activating layered pool LV (to basically keep pool opened,
the other function used to be 'locking' be in sync with DM table)
use this LV in read-only mode - this prevents 'write' access into
data volume content of thin-pool.

Note: since EMPTY/unused thin-pool is created as 'public LV' for generic
use by any user who i.e. wish to maintain thin-pool and thins himself.
At this moment, thin-pool appears as writable LV.  As soon as the 1st.
thinLV is created, layer volume will appear is 'read-only' LV from this moment.

30a98e4d67 activation: add synchronization point
Resuming of 'error' table entry followed with it's dirrect removal
is now troublesame with latest udev as it may skip processing of

in suspended state - rework 'cleanup' so it collects nodes
for removal into pending_delete list and process the list with

0451225c19 pvmove: correcting read_ahead setting
When pvmove is finished, we do a tricky operation since we try to
resume multiple different device that were all joined into 1 big tree.

Currently we use the infromation from existing live DM table,
where we can get list of all holders of pvmove device.
We look for these nodes (by uuid) in new metadata, and we do now a full
regular device add into dm tree structure.  All devices should be
already PRELOAD with correct table before entering suspend state,
however for correctly working readahead we need to put correct info
also into RESUME tree.  Since table are preloaded, the same table
is skip and resume, but correct read ahead is now set.

Unknown feature in status:

So add reconginzing this feature flag and also report this with

'lvs -o+kernel_discards'

When no_discard_passdown is found in status 'nopassdown' gets reported
for this field  (roughly matching what we report for thin-pools).

4411fe2ba8 activation: synchronize before removing devices
Udev is running udev-rule action upon 'resume'.

However lvm2 in special case is doing replacement of
'soon-to-be-removed' device with 'error' target for resuming
and then follows actual removal - the sequence is usually quick,
so when udev start action - it can result in 'strange' error
message in kernel log like:

Process '/usr/sbin/dmsetup info -j 253 -m 17 -c --nameprefixes --noheadings --rows -o name,uuid,suspended' failed with exit code 1.

To avoid this - we need to ensure there is synchronization wait for udev
between 'resume'  and 'remove' part of this process.

However existing code put strict requirement to avoid synchronizing with
udev inside critical section - but this originally came from requirement
to not do anything special while there could be devices in
suspend-state. Now we are able to see differnce between critical section
with or without suspended devices.  For udev synchronization only
suspended devices are prohibited to be there - so slightly relax
condition and allow calling and using 'fs_sync()' even inside critical
section - but there must not be any suspended device.

022ebb0cfe lv_manip: better work with PERCENT_VG modifier
When using 'lvcreate -l100%VG' and there is big disproportion between
real available space and requested setting - automatically fallback
to 100%FREE.

Difference can be seen when VG is big and already most space was
allocated, so the requestion 100%VG can end (and by spec for % modifier
it's correct) as LV with size of 1%VG.  Usually this is not a big
problem - buit in some cases - like cache-pool allocation, this
can result a big difference for chunksize selection.

With this patch it's more closely match common-sense logic without
the need of reitteration of too big changes in lvm2 core ATM.

in a single call.

fdd612b824 generators: avoid contacting syslog with generators
The systemd generators are executed very early during the switch
from initramfs to system partition and the syslog is not yet fully
operational - it may cause blocking, if some debug logging is enabled
at the same time in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf log{} section.

To avoid timeouting and killing this generator - rather enhance lvm
code to suppress any syslog communication when LVM_SUPPRESS_SYSLOG
envvar is set.

Use of this envvar is needed since the parsing of i.e. cmdline options
that could eventually override lvm.conf setting happens in this case
way too late and number of lines could have been already streamed to
syslog.

Fix a scenario where global/event_activation setting is not found. In
this case we need to take default value just like lvm tools do when
executed. So use "lvmconfig --type full".

Also, if we fail to execute lvmconfig for whatever reason, fallback to
generating the activation units as failsafe action.

859feb81e5 lvmanip: uninitialized members in struct pv_list (#10)
Scenario: Given an existed LV `lvol0`, I want to create another LV
on the PVs used by `lvol0`.

I use `build_parallel_areas_from_lv()` to obtain the `pv_list` of each segments.
However, the returned `pv_list` is not properly initialized, which causes
segfault in subsequent operations.

dd5716ddf2 raid: fix (de)activation of RaidLVs with visible SubLVs
There's a small window during creation of a new RaidLV when
rmeta SubLVs are made visible to wipe them in order to prevent
erroneous discovery of stale RAID metadata.  In case a crash
prevents the SubLVs from being committed hidden after such
wiping, the RaidLV can still be activated with the SubLVs visible.
During deactivation though, a deadlock occurs because the visible
SubLVs are deactivated before the RaidLV.

The patch adds _check_raid_sublvs to the raid validation in merge.c,
an activation check to activate.c (paranoid, because the merge.c check
will prevent activation in case of visible SubLVs) and shares the
existing wiping function _clear_lvs in raid_manip.c moved to lv_manip.c
and renamed to activate_and_wipe_lvlist to remove code duplication.
Whilst on it, introduce activate_and_wipe_lv to share with
(lvconvert|lvchange).c.

194eccf925 dmeventd: lvm2 plugin uses envvar registry
Thin plugin started to use configuble setting to allow to configure
usage of external scripts - however to read this value it needed to
execute internal command as dmeventd itself has no access to lvm.conf
and the API for dmeventd plugin has been kept stable.

The call of command itself was not normally 'a big issue' until users
started to use higher number of monitored LVs and execution of command
got stuck because other monitored resource already started to execute
some other lvm2 command and become blocked waiting on VG lock.

This scenario revealed necesity to somehow avoid calling lvm2 command
during resource registration - but this requires bigger changes - so
meanwhile this patch tries to minimize the possibility to hit this race
by obtaining any configurable setting just once - such patch is small
and covers majority of problem - yet better solution needs to be
introduced likely with bigger rework of dmeventd.

TODO: avoid blocking registration of resource with execution of lvm2
commands since those can get stuck waiting on mutexes.

66400d003d mirror: fix region_size for clustered VG
When adjusting region size for clustered VG it always needs to fit
2 full bitset into 1MB due to old limits of CPG.

This is relatively big amount of bits, but we have still limitation
for region size to fit into 32bits (0x8000000).

So for too big mirrors this operation needs to fail - so whenever
function returns now 0, it means we can't find matching region_size.

Since return 0 is now 'error' we need to also pass proper region_size
when creating pvmove mirror.

Also for mirrored mirror log we let use 'smalled' region size if needed
so if user uses  1G region size, we still keep small mirror log
with much smaller region size in this case when needed.

Also mirror log extent calculation is now properly detecting error
with too big mirrors where previosly trimmed uint32_t was applies

7a7b8a7778 udev: keep systemd vars on change event in 69-dm-lvm-metad.rules for systemd reload
The current logic that avoids setting SYSTEMD_ALIAS and SYSTEMD_WANTS
on "change" events is flawed in the default "systemd background job"
configuration. For systemd, it's important that device properties don't
change spuriously.

If an "add" event starts lvm2-pvscan@.service for a device, and a
"change" event follows, removing SYSTEMD_ALIAS and SYSTEMD_WANTS from the
udev db, information about unit dependencies between the device and the
pvscan service can be lost in systemd, in particular if the daemon
configuration is reloaded.

Steps to reproduce problem:

- create a device with an LVM PV
- remove device
- add device (generates "add" and "change" uevents for the device)
  (at this point SYSTEMD_ALIAS and SYSTEMD_WANTS are clear in udev db)
- systemctl daemon-reload
  (systemd reloads udev db)
- vgchange -a n
- remove device

=> the lvm2-pvscan@.service for the device is still active although the
device is gone.

- add device again

=> the PV is not detected, because systemd sees the lvm2-pvscan@.service
as active and thus doesn't restart it.

The original purpose of this logic was to avoid volumes being scanned
over and over again. With systemd background jobs, that isn't necessary,
because systemd will not restart the job as long as it's active.
