824019531c libdm: tunning cache API
Support new PASSTHROUGH 'feature' flag.

Add dm_config_node to pass in policy args.

Really use origin_uuid instead of using extra call
to pass seg_areas.

Switch to 64bit feature flag bit set so there is
enough space in future for new bits...

89233544e0 libdm: allow to activate any pool with tid == 0
When transaction_id is set 0 for thin-pool, libdm avoids validation
of thin-pool, unless there are real messages to be send to thin-pool.
This relaxes strict policy which always required to know
in front transaction_id for the kernel target.

It now allows to activate thin-pool with any transaction_id
(when transaction_id is passed in)

It is now upto application to validate transaction_id from life
thin-pool volume with transaction_id within it's own metadata.

2f7f6932dc report: selection: fix selection criteria to not match reserved values when using >, <, >=, <
Some values are reserved for special purpose like 'undefined', 'unmanaged' etc.
When using >, <, >= and < comparison operators where the range is considered,
do not include reserved values as proper values in this range which
would otherwise result in not so obvious criteria match (as the reserved value is
actually transparent for the user). It's incorrect.

Example scenario:
$ vgs -o vg_name,vg_mda_copies vg1 vg2
  VG   #VMdaCps
  vg1          1
  vg2  unmanaged

The "unmanaged" is actually mapped onto reserved value
18446744073709551615 (2^64 - 1) internally.

Such reseved value is already caught on selection criteria input
properly:

$ vgs -o name,vg_mda_copies vg1 vg2 -S 'vg_mda_copies=18446744073709551615'
  Numeric value 18446744073709551615 found in selection is reserved.

However, we still need to fix situaton where the reserved value may be
included in resulting range:

Before this patch:
$ vgs -o vg_name,vg_mda_copies vg1 vg2 -S 'vg_mda_copies >= 1'
  VG   #VMdaCps
  vg1          1
  vg2  unmanaged

With this patch applied:
$ vgs -o vg_name,vg_mda_copies vg1 vg2 -S 'vg_mda_copies >= 1'
  VG   #VMdaCps
  vg1         1

From the examples above, we can see that without this patch applied,
the vg_mda_copies >= 1 also matched the reserved value 18446744073709551615
(which is represented by the "unamanged" string on report). When
applying the operators, such values must be skipped! They're meant to
be matched only against their string representation only, e.g.:

$ vgs -o name,vg_mda_copies vg1 vg2 -S 'vg_mda_copies=unmanaged'
  VG   #VMdaCps
  vg2  unmanaged

...or any synonyms:

$ vgs -o name,vg_mda_copies vg1 vg2 -S 'vg_mda_copies=undefined'
  VG   #VMdaCps
  vg2  unmanaged

5895657b59 libdm: fix dm_is_dm_major to not issue error about missing /proc lines for dm module.
This is probably better approach than 3880ca5eca.

If dm module is not loaded during dm_is_dm_major call, there are no
lines for dm in /proc/devices, of course. Normally, dm_is_dm_major
is called to check existing devices, hence if module is not loaded,
we can expect there's no DM device present at the same time so we
can directly return 0 here (meaning the major number being inspected
is not dm device's one).

3880ca5eca libdm: use dm-mod autoloading during dm_is_dm_major call if needed
For dm_is_dm_major to determine whether the major number given as
an argument belongs to a DM device, libdm code needs to know what
the actual DM major is to do the comparison.

It may happen that the dm-mod module is not loaded during this
call and so for the completness let's try our best before we start
giving various errors - we can still make use of dm-mod autoloading,
though only since kernels 2.6.36 where this feature was introduced.

42e07d2bce dmsetup: Support remove --deferred.
This patch adds a new flag --deferred to dmsetup remove. If this flag is
specified and the device is open, it is scheduled to be deleted on
close.

struct dm_info is extended.

The existing dm_task_get_info() is converted into a wrapper around the
new version dm_task_get_info_with_deferred_remove() so existing binaries
can still use the old smaller structure.

Recompiled code will pick up the new larger structure.

fa793bed64 select: add support for selection to match string list subset, recognize { } operator
Using "[ ]" operator together with "&&" (or ",") inside causes the
string list to be matched if and only if all the items given match
the value reported and the number of items also match. This is
strict list matching and the original behaviour we already have.

In contrast to that, the new "{ }" operator together with "&&" inside
causes the string list to be matched if and only if all the items given
match the value reported but the number of items don't need to match.
So we can provide a subset in selection criteria and if the subset
is found, it matches.

For example:

$ lvs -o name,tags
  LV    LV Tags
  lvol0 a
  lvol1 a,b
  lvol2 b,c,x
  lvol3 a,b,y

$ lvs -o name,tags -S 'tags=[a,b]'
  LV    LV Tags
  lvol1 a,b

$ lvs -o name,tags -S 'tags={a,b}'
  LV    LV Tags
  lvol1 a,b
  lvol3 a,b,y

So in the example above the a,b is subset of a,b,y and therefore
it also matches.

Clearly, when using "||" (or "#") inside, the { } and [ ] is the
same:

$ lvs -o name,tags -S 'tags=[a#b]'
  LV    LV Tags
  lvol0 a
  lvol1 a,b
  lvol2 b,c,x
  lvol3 a,b,y

$ lvs -o name,tags -S 'tags={a#b}'
  LV    LV Tags
  lvol0 a
  lvol1 a,b
  lvol2 b,c,x
  lvol3 a,b,y

Also in addition to the above feature, fix list with single value
matching when using [ ]:

Before this patch:
$ lvs -o name,tags -S 'tags=[a]'
  LV    LV Tags
  lvol0 a
  lvol1 a,b
  lvol3 a,b,y

With this patch applied:
$ lvs -o name,tags -S 'tags=[a]'
  LV    LV Tags
  lvol0 a

In case neither [] or {} is used, assume {} (the behaviour is not
changed here):

$ lvs -o name,tags -S 'tags=a'
  LV    LV Tags
  lvol0 a
  lvol1 a,b
  lvol3 a,b,y

So in new terms 'tags=a' is equal to 'tags={a}'.

$ lvs -o name,tags vg/lvol0 -S 'tags=[a]'

2.02.106 added suffixes to some LV uuids in the kernel.

If any of these LVs is activated with 2.02.105 or earlier,
and then a later version is used, the LVs appear invisible and
activation commands fail.

The code now has to check the kernel for both old and new uuids.

a40bc36b2e libdevmapper: revoke commit 7c86131233
We have "help" and "?" defined as implicit fields now. As such, we
don't need to export these names in libdevmapper (as it was introduced
by commit 7c86131233 within this release).
If anyone uses these field names by mistake, the libdevmapper code can
error out correctly if it detects that the set of explicit field names
(the ones supplied by "fields" arg in dm_report_init/dm_report_init_with_selection)
contains any of the implicit field names (the ones defined internally
by libdevmapper itself).

cd7325f18d report: make "help" and "?" field implicit
Making "help" and "?" implicit also simplifies code since the
dm_report_init caller (lvm/dmsetup) doesn't need to check on
dm_report_init return whether "help" or "?" was hit while parsing
fields/sort keys in libdevmapper.

The libdevmapper now sets internal "RH_ALREADY_REPORTED" flag
after it reports the "help" or "?" implicit field. Then libdevmapper
itself checks for this flag in dm_report_object and if found,
the actual reporting is skipped (because the "help" implicit field
was reported instead of the actual report).

bd2500e62e libdm: track implicit dependecies
When the node enters dtree with implicit dependency, it
automatically has udev flags from parent node
and could not be changed later when the node has been
entered again via i.e lvm's preload tracking.

Resolve this by tracking whether the node has been
created by implicit dependency tracking or has been
entered explicitely. Implicit node could be later
upgraded by an explicit _add_dev() with proper udev_flags.

For implicit devices add special udev flags to avoid
any scan and udev rule processing if we resume such device.

Patch allows easier removing of orphan nodes.

if one event is timeout out on alarm, while another is still waiting,

Fix it by introducing counter which is protected via mutex,
and only when the last event is released, logging is restored.

ed30145f4a libdm: fix races with udev
On modern systems udev manages nodes in /dev/mapper directory.
It creates, deletes and renames the nodes according to the
state of the kernel driver.

When the dmsetup is compiled without udev support (--enable-udev_sync)
and runs on the system with running udevd it tries to manage nodes in
/dev/mapper too, so it can race with udev.
dmsetup checks if the node was created/deleted/renamed with the stat
syscall, and skips the operation if it was. However, if udev
creates/deletes/renames the node after the stat syscall and before the
mknod/unlink/rename syscall, dmsetup reports an error.

Since in the system everything happened as expected, skip reporting
error for such case.

These races can be easily provoked by inserting sleep at appropriate
places.

efd1dc6bd3 headers: use __linux__ instead of linux
This file may be included by other programs, so it should be compliant
with the C standard.

* use __linux__ instead of linux - __linux__ is always defined, linux is
  not defined when gcc runs in standard-compliant mode (with -std=c89 or
  -std=c99) because the C standard doesn't allow polluting namespace
  with arbitrary defines.

23ce3352d7 libdm: export DM_UDEV_SUBSYSTEM_FLAG names for subystem udev flags
Just like we have symbolic names assigned to general DM udev flags
(DM_UDEV_* flags), we have the same for any subsystem flags now
(DM_SUBSYSTEM_UDEV_FLAG*), making it easier to use.

ec9b3dcecc udev: make subsystem rules responsible for importing subsystem flags
Each subsystem rule that needs to import any of DM_SUBSYSTEM_UDEV_FLAG*
flags is responsible for doing so. This simply moves control of these
flags from general 10-dm.rules to any subsystem rule using these flags
as each subsystem knows better how to handle these flags on its own.

68f841fcda dmsetup: Detect invalid sector supplied to message.
atoll doesn't check for errors, so invalid sector numbers were silently
accepted in the "dmsetup message" command.

350cf7968c libdm: new name can't be empty
Do not allow passing '' names to kernel.

This test was missing also in kernel, so it has allowed
to create device with '' name.  This then confused dmsetup tool,
since such name is unexpected and unsupported. To remove
such name from table, user has to use -j -m to specify which device
should be removed.

This patch fixes the posibility to run this operation:

dmsetup rename existingdev ''

after this operation commands like  'dmsetup table' are failing.
This patch prohibits to use such name.

d8b781e8ab dmsetup: display any message output from kernel
Recent kernels allow messages to respond with a string.
Add dm_task_get_message_response() to libdevmapper to perform some
basic sanity checks and return this.
Have 'dmsetup message' display any response.

DM statistics will make extensive use of this.

(From Mikulas.)

This is a very large release - so expect bugs!

Please treat this release like a release candidate.
Changes to the external interfaces since 2.02.98 are not yet frozen.

Updated releases will follow quickly (days not weeks) as any problems
are handled.

5658ec2bdc libdm: thin pool target sends messages once
Clear send_messages flag when they have been delivered successfully.
There is no need to validate it for all other activations of the same
node in the dm_tree.

Also add extra debug message which shows the reason for skipping
sending of messages because the transaction_id has already the matching
value.

e992cb253c dmeventd: use dm_get_status_snapshot()
Switch to use libdm dm_get_status_snapshot() function for
reading status info.
This fixes bug, where the code was using 32bit integers,
while the snapshot target is able to return 64bit sizes.
However this also means, someone is using >1TB snapshot
cow devices, which is actually very bad idea anyway, since the
perfomance and memory usage in this case is very bad.
