e6bb780d24 Rework lock-override options and locking_type settings
The last commit related to this was incomplete:
  "Implement lock-override options without locking type"

This is further reworking and reduction of the locking.[ch]
layer which handled all clustering, but is now only used
for file locking.  The "locking types" that this layer
implemented were removed previously, leaving only the
standard file locking.  (Some cluster-related artifacts
remain to be cleared out later.)

Command options to override or modify locking behavior
are reimplemented here without using the locking types.
Also, deprecated locking_type values are recognized,
and implemented as if one of the equivalent override
options was set.

Options that override file locking are:

. --nolocking disables all file locking.

. --readonly grants read lock requests without actually
  taking a file lock, and refuses write lock requests.

. --ignorelockingfailure tries to set up file locks and
  uses them normally if possible.  When not possible, it
  behaves like --readonly, but allows activation.

. --sysinit is the same as ignorelockingfailure.

. global/metadata_read_only acquires actual read file
  locks, and refuses write lock requests.

(Some of these options could probably be deprecated
because they were added as workarounds to various
locking_type behaviors that are now deprecated.)

The locking_type setting now has one valid value: 1 which
refers to standard file locking.  Configs that contain
deprecated values are recognized and still work in
largely the same way:

. 0 disabled all locking, now implemented like --nolocking
  is set.  Allow the nolocking option in all commands.

. 1 is the normal file locking setting and is unchanged.

. 2 was for external locking which was not used, and
  reverts to normal file locking.

. 3 was for cluster/clvm.  This reverts to normal file
  locking, and prints messages about lvmlockd.

. 4 was equivalent to readonly, now implemented like
  --readonly is set.

. 5 disabled all locking, now implemented like
  --nolocking is set.

ccc35e2647 device-mapper: Fork libdm internally.
The device-mapper directory now holds a copy of libdm source.  At
the moment this code is identical to libdm.  Over time code will
migrate out to appropriate places (see doc/refactoring.txt).

The libdm directory still exists, and contains the source for the
libdevmapper shared library, which we will continue to ship (though
not neccessarily update).

All code using libdm should now use the version in device-mapper.

c1cd18f21e Remove lvm1 and pool disk formats
There are likely more bits of code that can be removed,
e.g. lvm1/pool-specific bits of code that were identified
using FMT flags.

The vgconvert command can likely be reduced further.

The lvm1-specific config settings should probably have
some other fields set for proper deprecation.

aee27dc7ba scan: skip device rescan in vg_read
For reporting commands (pvs,vgs,lvs,pvdisplay,vgdisplay,lvdisplay)
we do not need to repeat the label scan of devices in vg_read if
they all had matching metadata in the initial label scan.  The
data read by label scan can just be reused for the vg_read.
This cuts the amount of device i/o in half, from two reads of
each device to one.  We have to be careful to avoid repairing
the VG if we've skipped rescanning.  (The VG repair code is very
poor, and will be redone soon.)

6c67c7557c scan: use separate fd for bcache
Create a new dev->bcache_fd that the scanning code owns
and is in charge of opening/closing.  This prevents other
parts of lvm code (which do various open/close) from
interfering with the bcache fd.  A number of dev_open
and dev_close are removed from the reading path since
the read path now uses the bcache.

With that in place, open(O_EXCL) for pvcreate/pvremove
can then be fixed.  That wouldn't work previously because
of other open fds.

d9a77e8bb4 lvmcache: simplify metadata cache
The copy of VG metadata stored in lvmcache was not being used
in general.  It pretended to be a generic VG metadata cache,
but was not being used except for clvmd activation.  There
it was used to avoid reading from disk while devices were
suspended, i.e. in resume.

This removes the code that attempted to make this look
like a generic metadata cache, and replaces with with
something narrowly targetted to what it's actually used for.

This is a way of passing the VG from suspend to resume in
clvmd.  Since in the case of clvmd one caller can't simply
pass the same VG to both suspend and resume, suspend needs
to stash the VG somewhere that resume can grab it from.
(resume doesn't want to read it from disk since devices
are suspended.)  The lvmcache vginfo struct is used as a
convenient place to stash the VG to pass it from suspend
to resume, even though it isn't related to the lvmcache
or vginfo.  These suspended_vg* vginfo fields should
not be used or touched anywhere else, they are only to
be used for passing the VG data from suspend to resume
in clvmd.  The VG data being passed between suspend and
resume is never modified, and will only exist in the
brief period between suspend and resume in clvmd.

suspend has both old (current) and new (precommitted)
copies of the VG metadata.  It stashes both of these in
the vginfo prior to suspending devices.  When vg_commit
is successful, it sets a flag in vginfo as before,
signaling the transition from old to new metadata.

resume grabs the VG stashed by suspend.  If the vg_commit
happened, it grabs the new VG, and if the vg_commit didn't
happen it grabs the old VG.  The VG is then used to resume
LVs.

This isolates clvmd-specific code and usage from the
normal lvm vg_read code, making the code simpler and
the behavior easier to verify.

Sequence of operations:

- lv_suspend() has both vg_old and vg_new
  and stashes a copy of each onto the vginfo:
  lvmcache_save_suspended_vg(vg_old);
  lvmcache_save_suspended_vg(vg_new);

- vg_commit() happens, which causes all clvmd
  instances to call lvmcache_commit_metadata(vg).
  A flag is set in the vginfo indicating the
  transition from the old to new VG:
  vginfo->suspended_vg_committed = 1;

- lv_resume() needs either vg_old or vg_new
  to use in resuming LVs.  It doesn't want to
  read the VG from disk since devices are
  suspended, so it gets the VG stashed by
  lv_suspend:
  vg = lvmcache_get_suspended_vg(vgid);

If the vg_commit did not happen, suspended_vg_committed
will not be set, and in this case, lvmcache_get_suspended_vg()
will return the old VG instead of the new VG, and it will
resume LVs based on the old metadata.

a7cb76ae94 scan: use bcache for label scan and vg read
New label_scan function populates bcache for each device
on the system.

The two read paths are updated to get data from bcache.

The bcache is not yet used for writing.  bcache blocks
for a device are invalidated when the device is written.

use, but later the device layer will take full ownership.)

dev_read_buf() should only be used for tiny buffers or unimportant code
(such as the old disk formats).

beee9940a5 format_text: Separate out code paths for buffer wraparound

the start of the buffer - is now restricted to cases where writing the
metadata in one piece wouldn't fit.  This shouldn't happen in 'normal'
usage so let's begin treating the code for this as a special case that
can be ignored when optimising 'normal' cases.

64a2fad5d6 lvconvert/lvcreate: raise maximum number of raid images
Because of contraints in renaming shifted rimage/rmeta LV names
the current RaidLV limit is a maximum of 10 SubLV pairs.

With the previous introduction of reshaping infratructure that
constriant got removed.

Kernel supports 253 since dm-raid target 1.9.0, older kernels 64.

Raise the maximum number of RaidLV rimage/rmeta pairs to 64.
If we want to raise past 64, we have to introdce a check for
the kernel supporting it in lvcreate/lvconvert.

- add command definitons for reshaping to tools/command-lines.in
- fix raid_rimage_extents()
- add 2 new test scripts lvconvert-raid-reshape-linear_to_striped.sh
  and lvconvert-raid-reshape-striped_to_linear.sh to test
  the linear <-> striped multi-step conversions
- add lvconvert-raid-reshape.sh reshaping tests

f8234d6e5f libdm: add human R|readable units
When showing sizes with 'H|human' units we do use standard rounding.
This however is confusing users from time to time,
when the printed number uses some biger units i.e. GiB and there is just
tiny fraction of space missing.

So here is some real-life example with new 'r' unit.

$lvs

  LV    VG Attr       LSize  Pool Origin
  lvol0 vg -wi-a-----  1.99g
  lvol1 vg -wi-a----- <2.00g
  lvol2 vg -wi-a----- <2.01g

Meaning is - lvol1 has 'slightly' less then 2.00g - from sign '<' user
can be aware the LV doesn't have full 2.00GiB in size so he
will be less surpriced allocation of 2G volume will not succeed.

$ vgs
  VG #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize  VFree
  vg   2   2   0 wz--n- <6,00g <2,01g

For uses needing  'old'  undecorated human unit simply will continue
to use 'H|h' units.

The new R|r  may further change when we would recongnize some
other way how to improve readability.

Some settings are not suitable for override in interactive/shell

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.

7eb7909193 lvcreate: raid0 needs default number of stripes
Commit 3928c96a37 introduced
new defaults for raid number of stripes, which may cause
backwards compatibility issues with customer scripts.

Adding configurable option 'raid_stripe_all_devices' defaulting
to '0' (i.e. off = new behaviour) to select the old behaviour

In case any scripts rely on the old behaviour, just set
'raid_strip_all_devices = 1'.

26c43c6ce5 commands: report: add lvm fullreport command
lvm fullreport executes 5 subreports (vg, pv, lv, pvseg, seg) per each VG
(and so taking one VG lock each time) within one command which makes it
easier to produce full report about LVM entities.

Since all 5 subreports for a VG are done under a VG lock, the output is
more consistent mainly in cases where LVM entities may be changed in
parallel.

99c2a2b960 report: add CMDLOG report type
This is a preparation for new CMDLOG report type which is going to be
used for reporting LVM command log.

The new report type introduces several new fields (log_seq_num, log_type,
log_context, log_object_type, log_object_group, log_object_id, object_name,
log_message, log_errno, log_ret_code) as well as new configuration settings
to set this report type (report/command_log_sort and report/command_log_cols
lvm.conf settings).

This patch also introduces internal report_cmdlog helper function
which is a wrapper over dm_report_object to report command log via
CMDLOG report type and which is going to be used throughout the code
to report the log items.

8b7a78c728 lvmcache: improve duplicate PV handling
Wait to compare and choose alternate duplicate devices until
after all devices are scanned.  During scanning, the first
duplicate dev is kept in lvmcache, and others are kept in a
new list (_found_duplicate_devs).

After all devices are scanned, compare all the duplicates
available for a given PVID and decide which is best.

If the dev used in lvmcache is changed, drop the old dev
from lvmcache entirely and rescan the replacement dev.
Previously the VG metadata from the old dev was kept in
lvmcache and only the dev was replaced.

A new config setting devices/allow_changes_with_duplicate_pvs
can be set to 0 which disallows modifying a VG or activating
LVs in it when the VG contains PVs with duplicate devices.
Set to 1 is the old behavior which allowed the VG to be
changed.

The logic for which of two devs is preferred has changed.
The primary goal is to choose a device that is currently
in use if the other isn't, e.g. by an active LV.

. prefer dev with fs mounted if the other doesn't, else
. prefer dev that is dm if the other isn't, else
. prefer dev in subsystem if the other isn't

If neither device is preferred by these rules, then don't
change devices in lvmcache, leaving the one that was found
first.

The previous logic for preferring a device was:

. prefer dev in subsystem if the other isn't, else
. prefer dev without holders if the other has holders, else
. prefer dev that is dm if the other isn't

56c68b3476 lvmetad: preemptively check and rescan in commands
Move checking the lvmetad state, and the possible rescan,
out of lvmetad_send() to the start of the command.

Previously, the token mismatch and rescan would occur
within lvmetad_send() for some other request.  Now,
the token mismatch is detected earlier, so the
rescan can be done before the main command is in
progress.  Rescanning deep within the processing of
another command will disturb the lvmcache state of
that other command.

A rescan already exists at the start of the command
for the case where foreign VGs are going to be read.
This same rescan is now also performed when there is
an lvmetad token mismatch (from a changed global_filter).

The commands pvscan/vgscan/lvscan/vgimport are excluded
from this preemptive checking/rescanning for lvmetad
because they want to do rescanning themselves explicitly.

If rescanning devices fails, then lvmetad has not been
correctly repopulated and should not be used, so make
the command revert to not using lvmetad.

'verbose' was marked as a boolean option while it

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).

8423be80ee conf: use use_blkid_wiping=0 if not defined in lvm.conf and support not compiled in
Normally, we generate and provide lvm.conf file where use_blkid_wiping
is set based on whether support for this is compiled in or not. This was
generated properly based on configure.

However, if lvm.conf is not used at all (someone deletes it) or the value
in lvm.conf is commented out (user edited it), we still need to use
proper default value that is based on DEFAULT_USE_BLKID_WIPING taken
from configure script - we used hardcoded value of "1" in this case
by mistake.

c3bfe07f2a config: add report/compact_output_cols to control which columns to compact in report output
The new report/compact_output_cols setting has exactly the same effect
as report/compact_output setting. The difference is that with the new
setting it's possible to define which cols should be compacted exactly
in contrast to all cols in case of report/compact_output.

In case both compact_output and compact_output_cols is enabled/set,
the compact_output prevails.

For example:

$ lvmconfig --type full report/compact_output report/compact_output_cols
compact_output=0
compact_output_cols=""

$ lvs vg
  LV    VG   Attr       LSize Pool Origin Data%  Meta%  Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert
  lvol0 vg   -wi-a----- 4.00m

---

$ lvmconfig --type full report/compact_output report/compact_output_cols
compact_output=0
compact_output_cols="data_percent,metadata_percent,pool_lv,move_pv,origin"

$ lvs vg
  LV    VG   Attr       LSize Log Cpy%Sync Convert
  lvol0 vg   -wi-a----- 4.00m

---

$ lvmconfig --type full report/compact_output report/compact_output_cols
compact_output=1
compact_output_cols="data_percent,metadata_percent,pool_lv,move_pv,origin"

$ lvs vg
  LV    VG   Attr       LSize
