112846ce0b activation: support activation of component LVs
Occasionaly users may need to peek into 'component devices.
Normally lvm2 does not let users activation component.

This patch adds special mode where user can activate
component LV in a 'read-only' mode i.e.:

lvchange -ay vg/pool_tdata

All devices can be deactivated with:

lvchange -an vg  |  vgchange -an....

83258e3385 toolcontext: do not change stream for pthreaded programs
With pthreaded daemons like 'dmeventd' using  liblvm via plugin,
lvm2 actually should not 'play' with streams at all - as there
could be parallel outputs running.

As a current quick workaround just disable change for pthreaded
program (gettid() != getpid()).

TODO: it's possible the change of buffering actually doesn't serve us
any measurable benefit and could be dropped as whole later...

Meanwhile this patch is fixing this occasional valgrind race report:

1e2420bca8 commands: new method for defining commands
. Define a prototype for every lvm command.
. Match every user command with one definition.
. Generate help text and man pages from them.

The new file command-lines.in defines a prototype for every
unique lvm command.  A unique lvm command is a unique
combination of: command name + required option args +
required positional args.  Each of these prototypes also
includes the optional option args and optional positional
args that the command will accept, a description, and a
unique string ID for the definition.  Any valid command
will match one of the prototypes.

Here's an example of the lvresize command definitions from
command-lines.in, there are three unique lvresize commands:

lvresize --size SizeMB LV
OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force,
--nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync, --reportformat String, --resizefs,
--stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB, --poolmetadatasize SizeMB
OP: PV ...
ID: lvresize_by_size
DESC: Resize an LV by a specified size.

lvresize LV PV ...
OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force,
--nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync,
--reportformat String, --resizefs, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB
ID: lvresize_by_pv
DESC: Resize an LV by specified PV extents.
FLAGS: SECONDARY_SYNTAX

lvresize --poolmetadatasize SizeMB LV_thinpool
OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force,
--nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync,
--reportformat String, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB
OP: PV ...
ID: lvresize_pool_metadata_by_size
DESC: Resize a pool metadata SubLV by a specified size.

The three commands have separate definitions because they have
different required parameters.  Required parameters are specified
on the first line of the definition.  Optional options are
listed after OO, and optional positional args are listed after OP.

This data is used to generate corresponding command definition
structures for lvm in command-lines.h.  usage/help output is also
auto generated, so it is always in sync with the definitions.

Every user-entered command is compared against the set of
command structures, and matched with one.  An error is
reported if an entered command does not have the required
parameters for any definition.  The closest match is printed
as a suggestion, and running lvresize --help will display
the usage for each possible lvresize command.

The prototype syntax used for help/man output includes
required --option and positional args on the first line,
and optional --option and positional args enclosed in [ ]
on subsequent lines.

  command_name <required_opt_args> <required_pos_args>
          [ <optional_opt_args> ]
          [ <optional_pos_args> ]

Command definitions that are not to be advertised/suggested
have the flag SECONDARY_SYNTAX.  These commands will not be
printed in the normal help output.

Man page prototypes are also generated from the same original
command definitions, and are always in sync with the code
and help text.

Very early in command execution, a matching command definition
is found.  lvm then knows the operation being done, and that
the provided args conform to the definition.  This will allow
lots of ad hoc checking/validation to be removed throughout
the code.

Each command definition can also be routed to a specific
function to implement it.  The function is associated with
an enum value for the command definition (generated from
the ID string.)  These per-command-definition implementation
functions have not yet been created, so all commands
currently fall back to the existing per-command-name
implementation functions.

Using per-command-definition functions will allow lots of
code to be removed which tries to figure out what the
command is meant to do.  This is currently based on ad hoc
and complicated option analysis.  When using the new
functions, what the command is doing is already known
from the associated command definition.

b5e093624d toolcontext: read all configuration sources when checking config values in lvm2-activation-generator through lighweight toolcontext handler
We added lightweight toolcontext handle to avoid useless initialization
of some parts of the context and also to avoid problems when using the
handle very soon at system boot, like in lvm2-activation-generator
through lvm2app interface. However, we missed reading all the other
config sources like lvmlocal.conf as well as any tag config - we need to
read these too to get the final config value which may be overriden in
any of these additional config sources.

Currently, we use this lightweight toolcontext handle to read
global/use_lvmetad and global/use_lvmpolld config values in
lvm2-activation-generator using lvm2app interface (lvm_config_find_bool
lvm2app function).

e8985c71bc config: add support for CFG_DISALLOW_INTERACTIVE flag to mark settings as not suitable for override in interactive mode
Some settings are not suitable for override in interactive/shell
mode because such settings may confuse the code and it may end
up with unexpected behaviour. This is because of the fact that
once we're in the interactive/shell mode, we have already applied
some settings for the shell itself and we can't override them
further because we're already using those settings to drive the
interactive/shell mode. Such settings would get ignored silently
or, in worse case, they would mess up the existing configuration.

06ce9b4e42 log: separate output and make it possible to use given FDs
Currently, the output is separated in 3 parts and each part can go into
a separate and user-defined file descriptor:

  - common output (stdout by default, customizable by LVM_OUT_FD environment variable)
  - error output (stderr by default, customizable by LVM_ERR_FD environment variable)
  - report output (stdout by default, customizable by LVM_REPORT_FD environment variable)

For example, each type of output goes to different output file:

  [0] fedora/~ # export LVM_REPORT_FD=3

  [0] fedora/~ # lvs fedora vg/abc 1>out 2>err 3>report

  [0] fedora/~ # cat out

  [0] fedora/~ # cat err
    Volume group "vg" not found
    Cannot process volume group vg

  [0] fedora/~ # cat report
    LV   VG     Attr       LSize   Layout     Role       CTime
    root fedora -wi-ao----  19.00g linear     public     Wed May 27 2015 08:09:21
    swap fedora -wi-ao---- 500.00m linear     public     Wed May 27 2015 08:09:21

Another example in LVM shell where the report goes to "report" file:

  [0] fedora/~ # export LVM_REPORT_FD=3
  [0] fedora/~ # lvm 3>report

  (in lvm shell)
  lvm> vgs

  (content of "report" file)
  [1] fedora/~ # cat report
    VG     #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize  VFree
    fedora   1   2   0 wz--n- 19.49g    0

  (in lvm shell)
  lvm> lvs

  (content of "report" file)
  [1] fedora/~ # cat report
    VG     #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize  VFree
    fedora   1   2   0 wz--n- 19.49g    0
    LV   VG     Attr       LSize   Layout     Role       CTime
    root fedora -wi-ao----  19.00g linear     public     Wed May 27 2015 08:09:21

751163a743 libdm: log: remove log_print_bypass_report calls and register new print_log_libdm for libdm during lvm initialization instead
This fixes commit f50d4011cd which
introduced a problem when using older lvm2 code with newer libdm.
In this case, the old LVM didn't recognize new _LOG_BYPASS_REPORT flag
that libdm-report code used. This ended up with no output at all
from libdm where log_print_bypass_report was called because the
_LOG_BYPASS_REPORT was not masked properly in lvm2's print_log fn
which was called as callback function for logging.

With this patch, the lvm2 registers separate print_log_libdm logging
function for libdm instead. The print_log_libdm is exactly the same
as print_log (used throughout lvm2 code) but it checks whether we're
printing common line on output where "common" means not going to stderr,
not a warning and not an error and if we are, it adds the
_LOG_BYPASS_REPORT flag so the log_print goes directly to output, not
to any log report.

So this achieves the same goal as in f50d4011cd,
just doing it in a way that newer libdm is still compatible with older
lvm2 code (libdm-report is the only code using log_print).

Looking at the opposite mixture - older libdm with newer lvm2 code,
that won't be compilable because the new log report functionality
that is in lvm2 also requires new dm_report_group_* libdm functions
so we don't need to care here.

199b7b55c2 lvmcache: fix duplicate handling with multiple scans
Some commands scan labels to populate lvmcache multiple
times, i.e. lvmcache_init, scan labels to fill lvmcache,
lvmcache_destroy, then later repeat

Each time labels are scanned, duplicates are detected,
and preferred devices are chosen.  Each time this is done
within a single command, we want to choose the same
preferred devices.  So, check for existing preferences
when choosing preferred devices.

This also fixes a problem with the list of unused duplicate
devs when run in an lvm shell.  The devs had been allocated
from cmd memory, resulting in invalid list entries between
commands.

7fd4119d24 liblvm: allow config settings to be read without full lvm cmd
A program may be using liblvm2app for simply checking a config
setting in lvm.conf.  In this case, a full lvm context is not
needed, only cmd->cft (which are the config settings read from
lvm.conf).

lvm_config_find_bool() can now be passed a NULL lvm context
in which case it will only create cmd->cft, check the config
setting asked for, and destroy the cmd.

87d9406725 lib: fix init error handling
When setting up a toolcontext, the lib init function
was detecting an error when there was none, and then
it was returning an incompletely initialized cmd struct
instead of NULL.  The effect was that the lib would try
to use the uninitialized cmd struct and segfault.
This would happen if a non-fatal error occurred during
cmd setup, e.g. user permission failed on lvmetad socket,
causing cmd to fall back to scanning and not use lvmetad.

The only real error condition is when create_toolcontext
returns NULL.  If cmd is returned, the lib can use it.

1134ab6324 lvmetad: warn about making changes while not using lvmetad
If lvmetad is running, and a command opts to not use it
(--config global/use_lvmetad=0), and the command changes
metadata, then the metadata change is not visible to
lvmetad.  Subsequent commands using lvmetad to change
metadata may cause corruption based on the invalid
lvmetad state.

Eventually we can set the disabled state in lvmetad
to prevent this problem, but for now print a warning
about the possibility.

5e9e43074a lvmetad: rework command connection setup and checking
The lvmetad connection is created within the
init_connections() path during command startup,
rather than via the old lvmetad_active() check.

The old lvmetad_active() checks are replaced
with lvmetad_used() which is a simple check that
tests if the command is using/connected to lvmetad.

The old lvmetad_set_active(cmd, 0) calls, which
stopped the command from using lvmetad (to revert to
disk scanning), are replaced with lvmetad_make_unused(cmd).

2d5dc6512e dbus: add notification from commands
When a command modifies a PV or VG, or changes the
activation state of an LV, it will send a dbus
notification when the command is finished.  This
can be enabled/disabled with a config setting.

f7e0a4cc18 cmd: add '-H|--history' switch and wire it up in cmd_context and processing_handle
This patch adds "include_historical_lvs" field to struct cmd_context to
make it possible for the command to switch between original funcionality
where no historical LVs are processed and functionality where historical
LVs are taken into account (and reported or processed further). The switch
between these modes is done using the '-H|--history' switch on command
line.

The include_historical_lvs state is then passed to process_each_* fns
using the "include_historical_lvs" field within struct processing_handle.

3b76e9fd98 config: fix verbose type to int
'verbose' was marked as a boolean option while it
takes integer args - so it has limited usage to 0 or 1,
but we supported 0-4 at least.

Fix it by switching to corrent int type.
(Hopefully noone was trying to use this variable as true/yes/false/no
way - as the would be unsupported/undocumented).

b77497cbd8 filters: make sure regex filter is evaluated before any filter that needs disk access
The regex filter (controlled by devices/filter lvm.conf setting) was
evaluated as the very last filter. However, this is not optimal when
it comes to restricting disk access - users define devices/filter
as well as devices/global_filter to avoid this.

The devices/global_filter is already positioned at the beginning of the
filter chain. We need to do the same for devices/filter.

Filter chains before this patch:

  A: when lvmetad is not used:
       persistent_filter -> sysfs_filter -> global_regex_filter ->
       type_filter -> usable->filter -> mpath_component_filter ->
       partition_filter -> md_component_filter -> fw_raid_filter ->
       regex_filter

  B: when lvmetad is used:

    B1: to update lvmetad:
      sysfs_filter -> global_regex_filter -> type_filter ->
      usable_filter -> mpath_component_filter -> partition_filter ->
      md_component_filter -> fw_raid_filter

    B2: to retrieve info from lvmetad:
      persistent_filter -> usable_filter -> regex_filter

From the chain list above we can see that particularly in case when
lvmetad is not used, the regex filter is the very last one that is
processed. If lvmetad is used, it doesn't matter much as there's
the global_regex_filter which is used instead when updating lvmetad
and when retrieving info from lvmetad, putting regex_filter in front
of usable_filter wouldn't change much since usabled_filter is not
reading disks directly.

This patch puts the regex filter to the front even in case lvmetad
is not used, hence reinstating the state as it was before commit
a7be3b12df (which moved the regex_filter
position in the chain). Still, the arguments for the commit
a7be3b12df still apply and they're
still satisfied since component filters (MD, mpath...) are evaluated
first just before updating lvmetad.

So with this patch, we end up with:

  A: when lvmetad is not used:
       persistent_filter -> sysfs_filter -> global_regex_filter ->
       regex_filter -> type_filter -> usable->filter ->
       mpath_component_filter -> partition_filter ->
       md_component_filter -> fw_raid_filter

  B: when lvmetad is used:

    B1: to update lvmetad:
      sysfs_filter -> global_regex_filter -> type_filter ->
      usable_filter -> mpath_component_filter -> partition_filter ->
      md_component_filter -> fw_raid_filter

    B2: to retrieve info from lvmetad:
      persistent_filter -> regex_filter -> usable_filter

This way, specifying the regex_filter in non-lvmetad case causes
the devices to be filtered based on regex first before processing
any other filters which can access disks (like md_component_filter).

This patch also streamlines the code for better readability.

32e22a0037 lvmlockd: rescan lockd VG in two new cases
Previously, a command would only rescan a lockd VG
when lvmetad returned the "vg_invalid" flag indicating
that the cached copy was invalid (which is done by
lvmlockd.)  This is still the only usual reason for
rescanning a lockd VG, but two new special cases are
added where we also do the rescan:

. When the --shared option is used to display lockd VGs
  from hosts not using lvmlockd.  This is the same case
  as using --foreign to display foreign VGs, but --shared
  was missing the corresponding bits to rescan the VGs.

. When a lockd VG is allowed to be read for displaying
  after failing to acquire the lock from lvmlockd.  In
  this case, the usual mechanism for validating the
  cache is missed, so assume the cache would have been
  invalidated.  (This had been a previous todo item
  that was lost during other cleanup.)

These were long-standing todos that were lost track of.

1aa7fa354e vgremove: fix locking when lvmlockd global lock is removed
When vgremove is used to remove multiple VGs in one command,
e.g. vgremove foo bar, the first VG (foo) that is removed
may have held the sanlock global lock.  In this case,
do not continue removing further VGs (bar) without the
global lock.
