1ef9831018 thin: support configurable thin pool defaults
Configurable settings for thin pool create
if they are not specified on command line.

New supported lvm.conf options are:
  allocation/thin_pool_chunk_size
  allocation/thin_pool_discards
  allocation/thin_pool_zero

c7b17836ea Implement devices/global_filter.
The global filter is applied first, and is also applied in pvscan --cache (which
is called from udev rules to keep lvmetad updated). Cf. example.conf.

438e0050df config: add silent mode
Accept -q as the short form of --quiet.
Suppress non-essential standard output if -q is given twice.
Treat log/silent in lvm.conf as equivalent to -qq.
Review all log_print messages and change some to
log_print_unless_silent.

When silent, the following commands still produce output:
dumpconfig, lvdisplay, lvmdiskscan, lvs, pvck, pvdisplay,
pvs, version, vgcfgrestore -l, vgdisplay, vgs.
[Needs checking.]

Non-essential messages are shifted from log level 4 to log level 5
for syslog and lvm2_log_fn purposes.

ec8f377748 cleanup: static volume filter fn, lvm.conf comment

actually needed in the other code (a remnant from devel version).

decided to be '--activate ay'.

d098140177 Add policy based automated repair of RAID logical volumes
The RAID plug-in for dmeventd now calls 'lvconvert --repair' to address failures
of devices in a RAID logical volume.  The action taken can be either to "warn"
or "allocate" a new device from any spares that may be available in the
volume group.  The action is designated by setting 'raid_fault_policy' in
lvm.conf - the default being "warn".

8dd6036da4 Add activation/use_linear_target enabled by default. (prajnoha)
LVM metadata knows only of striped segments - not linear ones.
The activation code detects segments with a single stripe and switches
them to use the linear target.

If the new lvm.conf setting is set to 0 (e.g. in a test script), this
'optimisation' is turned off.

07113beea3 Do not scan device if it is part of active multipath.
Add filter which tries to check if scanned device is part
of active multipath.

Firstly, only SCSI major number devices are handled in filter.

Then it checks if device has exactly one holder (in sysfs) and
if it is device-mapper device and DM-UUID is prefixed by "MPATH-".

If so, this device is filtered out.

The whole filter can be switched off by setting
mpath_component_detection in lvm.conf.

57f4dfc653 Reduce preallocated stack size
Go with just 64KiB for stack.

Closer inspection should be made, whether we actually need to play with
settings at all.

Since default stack size is 8MB and gets mapped via page locking thus,
it seems there is no big help with preallocation of stack to some value.

cf98c05082 Add detect_internal_vg_cache_corruption to lvm.conf
Add config option to enable crc checking of VG structures.
Currently it's disabled by default.

For the internal test-suite this check it is enabled.

Note: In the case the internal error is detected, debug build with
compile option DEBUG_ENFORCE_POOL_LOCKING helps to catch the source
of the problem.

cac52ca4ce Add basic RAID segment type(s) support.
Implementation described in doc/lvm2-raid.txt.

Basic support includes:
- ability to create RAID 1/4/5/6 arrays
- ability to delete RAID arrays
- ability to display RAID arrays
Notable missing features (not included in this patch):
- ability to clean-up/repair failures
- ability to convert RAID segment types
- ability to monitor RAID segment types

418663b61c Disable udev fallback by default and add activation/udev_fallback to lvm.conf.
We've used udev fallback code till now to check whether udev
created/removed the entries in /dev correctly and if not,
a repair was done (giving a warning messagea about that).

This patch adds a possibility to enable this additional check
and subsequent fallback only when required (debugging purposes
mostly) and trust udev completely.

So let's disable the fallback code by default and add a new
configuration option "activation/udev_fallback".

(The original code for creating the nodes will still be used
in case the device directory that is set in lvm.conf differs
from the one that udev uses and also when activation/udev_rules
is set to 0 - otherwise we would end up with no nodes/symlinks
at all)

edcda01a1e Obtain device list from udev by default if LVM2 is compiled with udev support.
Also, add a new 'obtain_device_list_from_udev' setting to lvm.conf with which
we can turn this feature on or off if needed.

If set, the cache of block device nodes with all associated symlinks
will be constructed out of the existing udev database content.
This avoids using and opening any inapplicable non-block devices or
subdirectories found in the device directory. This setting is applied
to udev-managed device directory only, other directories will be scanned
fully. LVM2 needs to be compiled with udev support for this setting to
take effect. N.B. Any device node or symlink not managed by udev in
udev directory will be ignored with this setting on.

Add configurable option to define minimal size of
of block device usable as a PV.

pv_min_size() is added to lvm-globals and it's being
initialized through _process_config.

Macro PV_MIN_SIZE is unused and removed.

New define DEFAULT_PV_MIN_SIZE_KB is added to lvm-global
and unlike PV_MIN_SIZE it uses KB units.

Should help users with various slow devices attached to the system,
which cannot be easily filtered out (like FDD on /dev/sdX):

to lvm.conf in the activation section: 'snapshot_autoextend_threshold' and
'snapshot_autoextend_percent', that define how to handle automatic snapshot
extension. The former defines when the snapshot should be extended: when its
space usage exceeds this many percent. The latter defines how much extra space
should be allocated for the snapshot, in percent of its current size.
