There's an intermittent failure with vgcfgbackup that seems to have been
introduced with the metadataignore / vgmetadatacopies patchset.
Intermittent failures are often the result of uninitialized data,
so this patch calls zalloc in a few places it might matter.
When we are constructing the vg, we may need to adjust the list of
metadata_areas if there are ignored mdas. At label read time, we
do not read the metadata of ignored mdas, and as a result, they do
not get placed on vg->fid->metadata_areas inside _text_create_text_instance
since lvmcache does not have these areas attached to vginfo->infos.
However, when we're checking the pvids inside _vg_read, after having
read another metadata area from another PV, we do have the opportunity
to update the metadata_area and metadata_areas_ignored lists based
on the read metadata_area. We need accurate mda lists for the reporting
functions that count the ignored mdas, as well as general correctness
of mda balancing.

Add a second mda list, metadata_areas_ignored to fid, and a couple
functions, fid_add_mda() and fid_add_mdas() to help manage the lists.
These functions are needed to properly count the ignored mdas and
manage the lists attached to the 'fid' and ultimately the 'vg'.
Ensure metadata_areas_ignored is initialized in other formats, even
if the list is never used.

Because of the way mdas are handled internally, where a PV in a VG
has mdas on both info->mdas and vg->fid->metadata_areas list, we
need a location independent copy constructor for struct
metadata_area. Break up the existing format-text specific copy
constructor into a format independent piece and a format dependent
piece.
This function is necessary to properly implement pv_set_mda_ignored().

A metadata_area is defined independent of the location. One downside
is that there is no obvious mapping from a pv to an mda. For a PV in
a VG, we need a way to start with a PV and end up with an MDA, if we
are to manage mdas starting with a device/pv. This function provides
us a way to go down the list of PVs on a VG, and identify which ones
match a particular PV.
I'm not entirely happy with this approach, but it does fit into the
existing structures in a reasonable way.
An alternative solution might be to refactor the VG - PV interface such
that mdas are a list tied to a PV. However, this seemed a bit tricky since
a PV does not come into existence until after the list of mdas is
constructed (see _vg_read() - we create a 'fid' and attach mdas to it,
then we go through them and attach pvs).

We'd like to pass in mda_header to vgname_from_mda(). In order to
do this, we need to call raw_read_mda_header() from text_label.c,
_text_read(), which gets called from the label_read() path, and
peers into the metadata and update vginfo cache. We should check
the disable bit here, and if set, not peer into the vg metadata,
thus reducing the I/O to disk.
In the process, move vgname_from_mda() to layout.h, since the fn
only gets called from format_text code, and we need the mda_header
definition from the private layout.h.

This refactoring moves the device open/close up one level to the caller of
_vg_read_raw_area(). Should be no functional change and facilitate future
changes related to metadata balancing.

Adding a flag to the 'rlocn' structure in the mda header of the
text format allows us to flip a bit to ignore an area on disk that
stores the metadata via the text format specific mda_header.
This patch defines the flag and access functions to manage the flag.
Other patches will manage the ignore on a format-independent basis,
by using a flag in the metadata_area structure.

We should write metadata into next position in the ring buffer while calling
vgrename and vgcfgrestore. At this code level (_vg_write_raw), we were not able
to determine if this is a rename or not. If yes, then accompanying VG structure
passed here has a new name set, not the old one.
When looking for a location where to put metadata next, we were given a NULL
value because of failed VG name comparison (in _find_vg_rlocn) between the
name in existing metadata and metadata we're just about to write.
This resets the position in the ring buffer, overwriting any existing metadata
(and also incorrectly updates the cache to "orphan" afterwards).
This patch just adds old_name item in struct volume_group that we can check and use
if necessary and detect renames at lower layers as well.
The same applies for vgcfgrestore, but here we're using a special value of
old_name, an empty string, to disable the check with existing metadata totally.
The physical_volume, volume_group, logical_volume and lv_segment
structures' 'status' member is now uint64_t.
The alignment of these structures was also audited to remove holes. The
movement of some members in 'volume_group' and 'lv_segment' eliminates
holes. The 'physical_volume' structure still has one 4-byte hole after
'pe_size'; the other structures no longer have any holes. Each
structures' size has not changed.
If the pvcreate --dataalignmentoffset option is not specified the start
of a PV's aligned data area will be shifted by the associated
'alignment_offset' exposed in sysfs (unless
devices/data_alignment_offset_detection is disabled in lvm.conf).

Documented which use-cases force the reinstatement of the nuanced
handling of pe_start. As soon as orphan PVs are eliminated much of this
will no longer be a concern ('preserve_pe_start' can be reenabled in
.pv_setup).
Added defensive 'if (pv->pe_align)' check in _text_pv_write()'s pe_start
loop.
If pv_setup was given a non-zero pe_start it would short-circuit
establishing a default pv->pe_align. pv->pe_align=0 would result
in a divide by zero in _mda_setup(). 'vgconvert -M2 $vgname' hit this.
.pv_write still properly preserves pe_start if it was supplied.
Adds pe_align_offset to 'struct physical_volume'; is initialized with
set_pe_align_offset(). After pe_start is established pe_align_offset is
added to it.

This preserved pe_start would quickly be readjusted to follow the first
mda anyway. An example use-case that hit this code path is: running
pvcreate on an already existing PV _without_ a preceeding pvremove.

Without this fix rounding the end of the first mda to a pe_align
boundary could silently exceed the disk_size.
Final 'if (start1 + mda_size1 > disk_size)' block serves as a safety
net.

Document existing pe_start policy.
Fix issue in _text_pv_setup() where existing pe_start case could have
the pv->pe_start set to pv->pe_align even though pe_start shouldn't ever
change.
vgconvert and pvcreate have a facility to preserve the existing start
of the on-disk data extents, known as pe_start.
They indicate this by passing the existing value to the pvsetup function
which must preserve it.
This patch avoids one particular case where the value could get
changed incorrectly now that the alignment settings are configurable.

The dataalign value must always be aligned according
to MDA area.
The currect code checks if calculated value collides with
MDA area but not if the value is so small that it is
located before MDA starts.
Unfortunatelly there can be also MDA in the end of the device.
The patch adds simple check to avoid this miscalculation.
Patch expects that first MDA always starts on <= pagesize boundary
(this is true for all allowed label sector parameters).
if rlocn not defined (there is no metadata area).
In most cases it fails in validate_name(),
unfortunately there are situatuions, when
validate_name is ok and later code fails with
checksum error.

This patch is not fully tested and leaves some related bugs unfixed.
Intended behaviour of the code now:
pe_start in the lvm2 format PV label header is set only by pvcreate (or
vgconvert -M2) and then preserved in *all* operations thereafter.
In some specialist cases, after the PV is added to a VG, the pe_start
field in the VG metadata may hold a different value and if so, it
overrides the other one for as long as the PV is in such a VG.
Currently, the field storing the size of the data area in the PV label
header always holds 0. As it only has meaning in the context of a
volume group, it is calculated whenever the PV is added to a VG (and can
be derived from extent_size and pe_count in the VG metadata).
Reports the size of the smallest metadata area in a PV or a VG.
Useful to confirm pvcreate --metadatasize or pvmetadatasize setting in
/etc/lvm/lvm.conf file.
NOTE: Actual value in these fields will most always differ from that
given in pvcreate options due to rounding and alignment effects.
Function _text_pv_write doesn't use memory pool but static buffer,
call dm_pool_free in error path in _raw_write_mda_header is wrong.
Move pool free only to path where is the memory pool used.
Failure to check for label_write() return code caused the following test
to indicate it passed when it really failed:

Include "\n" at end of each fprintf format string.
Add --config for overriding most config file settings from cmdline.
Quote arguments when printing command line.
Remove linefeed from 'initialising logging' message.
Add 'Completed' debug message.
Don't attempt library exit after reloading config files.
Always compile with libdevmapper, even if device-mapper is disabled.
Fix some memory leaks in error paths found by coverity.
Use C99 struct initialisers.
Move DEFS into configure.h.
Clean-ups to remove miscellaneous compiler warnings.
[Some activation-related features will stop working for a while now.
Some types of activation are getting split into two steps, with the
first step using the precommitted metadata.]
Clear many compiler warnings (i386) & associated bugs - hopefully without
introducing too many new bugs:-) (Same exercise required for other archs.)
Default compilation has optimisation - or else use ./configure --enable-debug
Lots of changes/very little testing so far => there'll be bugs!
Use 'vgcreate -M text' to create a volume group with its metadata stored
in text files. Text format metadata changes should be reasonably atomic,
with a (basic) automatic recovery mechanism if the system crashes while a
change is in progress.
Add a metadata section to lvm.conf to specify multiple directories if
you want (recommended) to keep multiple copies of the metadata (eg on
different filesystems).
e.g. metadata {
dirs = ["/etc/lvm/metadata1","/usr/local/lvm/metadata2"]
}
Plenty of refinements still in the pipeline.
o Text format now has a description and time field at the top level.
o archiving and backup set the description appropriately. eg,
for an archive:
description = "Created *before* executing 'lvextend test_vg/lvol0 -l +1'."
creation_time = 1013166332
for a backup:
description = "Created *after* executing 'lvextend test_vg/lvol0 -l +1'."
creation_time = 1013166332
This is preparing the way for a simple vgcfgundo command.
