Corrupt metadata text (with good mda header) was being handled
in the label_scan phase, but not in the vg_read phase. This
was sufficient because metadata areas would always be read and
checksummed during label_scan (metadata parsing was skipped
previously as an optimization.)
This changed with the optimization in
commit 61a6f9905e
"metadata: optimize reading metadata copies in scan"
Now, some metadata areas will not be read and checksummed
at all during the label_scan phase, only during the vg_read
phase. This means that bad metadata text may first be detected
in the vg_read phase. So, add equivalent bad metadata handling
to the vg_read path to match the label_scan path.
Restructure the pvscan code, and add new temporary files
that list pvids in a VG, used for processing PVs that
have no metadata.
The new temp files, in /run/lvm/pvs_lookup/<vgname>, allow a
proper pvscan --cache to be done on PVs that have no metadata.
pvscan --cache <dev> is only supposed to read <dev>, but when
<dev> has no metadata, this had not been possible. The
command had to fall back to scanning all devices to read all
VG metadata to get the list of all PVIDs needed to check for
a complete VG. Now, the temp file can be used in place of
reading metadata from all PVs on the system.
When an online PV completed a VG, the standard
activation functions were used to activate the VG.
These functions use a full scan of all devs.
When many pvscans are run during startup and need
to activate many VGs, scanning all devs from all
the pvscans can take a long time.
Optimize VG activation in pvscan to scan only the
devs in the VG being activated. This makes use of
the online file info that was used to determine
the VG was complete.
The downside of this approach is that pvscan activation
will not detect duplicate PVs and block activation,
where a normal activation command (which scans all
devices) would.
