The old ad hoc arg parsing when combining a split snapshot
allowed the first lv to have a vgname, but not the second.
Since lvconvert now uses the standard arg parsing in
process_each_lv(), the old one-off behavior requires a
work around.
This reverts commit 717363bb94.
These alternate forms for swapping metadata cannot be
distinguished from the command for creating a pool.
If we were to add these alternate forms for swapping
metadata, we would need to overload the pool creation
command defs, making those definitions ambiguous.
Change run time access to the command_name struct
cmd->cname instead of indirectly through
cmd->command->cname. This removes the two run time
fields from struct command.
All lvconvert functionality has been moved out of the
previous monolithic lvconvert code, except conversions
related to raid/mirror/striped/linear. This switches
that remaining code to be based on command defs, and
standard process_each_lv arg processing. This final
switch results in quite a bit of dead code that is
also removed.
This is a new explicit version of 'lvconvert LV'
which has been an obscure way of triggering polling
to be restarted on an LV that was previously converted.
Lift all the snapshot utilities (merge, split, combine)
out of the monolithic lvconvert implementation, using
the command definitions. The old code associated with
these commands is now unused and will be removed separately.
This lifts the lvconvert --repair and --replace commands
out of the monolithic lvconvert implementation. The
previous calls into repair/replace can no longer be
reached and will be removed in a separate commit.
The new check_single_lv() function is called prior to the
existing process_single_lv(). If the check function returns 0,
the LV will not be processed.
The check_single_lv function is meant to be a standard method
to validate the combination of specific command + specific LV,
and decide if the combination is allowed. The check_single
function can be used by anything that calls process_each_lv.
As commands are migrated to take advantage of command
definitions, each command definition gets its own entry
point which calls process_each for itself, passing a
pair of check_single/process_single functions which can
be specific to the narrowly defined command def.
. 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.
Kernel 4.10 (dm-crypt v1.15.0) and later supports loading device
tables with crypt segment having key in kernel keyring retention
service.
dmsetup hid key section of tables output. With this patch dmsetup
no longer hides key section if it detects kernel key description
instead of hex byte representation of key itself.
Commit cfb6ef654d introduced
support to change RAID region size.
Add:
- missing conditions to support any types to function with
it in lv_raid_convert(); temporary workaround used until
cli validation patches get merged
- tests requesting "-R " to lvconvert-raid-takeover.sh
involving a cleanup of the script
Related: rhbz1392947
Add:
- support to change region size of existing RaidLVs
(all RAID LV types but raid0/raid0_meta)
- lvconvert-raid-regionsize.sh with test variations
for different RAID types and region sizes
Resolves: rhbz1392947
Add a new update_filemap command to dmstats that allows a filemap
group to be updated:
# dmstats update_filemap --groupid 0 vm.img
/var/lib/libvirt/images/vm.img: Updated group ID 0 with 137 region(s).
This will update the set of regions mapped to the file to reflect
the current file system allocation.
Currently this needs to be run manually - a future update will add
support for monitoring file maps via a daemon, allowing them to be
automatically updated when the underlying file is modified.
This was missing piece in 77997c7673.
When merging origin is inactive (while driver is loaded) we
could already report merge in progress values as there is
no way to activate 'old state' now.
Solves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1280496
The only reasonable behaviour here is to error on
any number out of accepted range (i.e. now numbers
wrapping around with some hidden logic).
As this is plain bug there is no support for
backward compatibility since noone should
set numbers >UINT32_MAX and expect 0 or error
depending on how big number was used....
TODO: more fields might need to be converted.
Add simple function to wrap usage for only uint32 numbers.
Unlike 'int_arg' which accepts full range of 64bit number
this function will error on numbers out of this range:
<0, UINT32_MAX>
When there is 'merging' of an origin in progress, but metadata stil
do provide both origin and snapshot, we should show data from merged
snapshot. This is important mainly for thin case, where there was
a window, where i.e. 'lvs -o+device_id' would report information
about 'already gone' origin thin LV.
This race window is usually hard to trigger but can be ocasionally hit.
Usually shortly after activation, but before polling process manages
to update metadata after merge.
Before starting polling process, validate the merge has actually started
so there is not pointless invoke of lvmpolld.
This also fixes reported message from command, so user has
correct info whether merging has already started or
if it's delayed for next activation.
We can't keep 'display_lvname' for too long - it's using
ringbuffer and keeps limited number of names. So it's
safe only per few simple tests, but can't be used anymore
after some function calls..
(Fixes 00e641ef37)
Add this functionality to lvconvert:
'lvconvert --thin cachedLV --thinpool vg/poll'
Converts cachedLV to external origin (which will be read-only).
New thin volume is created in thinpool LV and it's using external
origin as source for unprovisioned chunks.
This conversion happens online (while volume is in use).
Thin LV remains fully writable.
Cached external origin no longer could be written so cache will be used
ONLY for read operations. For this limitation we require cache mode
to be writethrough (as writeback cannot write to read-only volumes).
When thinLV is later removed cached external origin is again
fully usable, just note, LV remain in 'read-only' mode.
When read-write is needed, 'lvchange -prw' has to be used.
Single external origin could be user by multiple thinLV in
multiple differen thin pool.
When --count=0 interval numbers are miscalculated:
Interval #18446744069414584325 time delta: 999920887ns
Interval #18446744069414584325 current err: -79113ns
End interval #18446744069414584325 duration: 999920887ns
This is because the command line argument is cast through the
uint32_t type, and fixed to UINT32_MAX:
_count = ((uint32_t)_int_args[COUNT_ARG]) ? : UINT32_MAX;
We also need to handle --count=0 specially when calculating the
interval number: since intervals count from #1, this must account
for the implicit "minus one" when converting from zero to the
UINT64_MAX value used (which is too large to store in _int_args).
The time management code mixes tests of the _timer_fd value with
code that should be timer agnostic: this causes problems for users
of the usleep() timer, since it cannot properly detect the start
of a new interval:
Beginning first interval
Interval #18446744069414584348 time delta: 1000000000ns
Interval #18446744069414584348 current err: 0ns
End interval #18446744069414584348 duration: 1000000000ns
Adjusted sample interval duration: 1000000000ns
[...]
Beginning first interval
Interval #18446744069414584349 time delta: 1000000000ns
Interval #18446744069414584349 current err: 0ns
End interval #18446744069414584349 duration: 1000000000ns
Adjusted sample interval duration: 1000000000ns
Separate these out, by defining a _timer_running() call that each
timer implements, and only define _timer_fd if we are compiling
with TIMERFD enabled.
Although the usleep() interval timer is not used if the Linux
TIMERFD interface is available it should still provide reasonably
good timing.
Instead of trying to estimate the error from the duration of the
last sleep, peg it to the start time of the program, and use the
value of ((start_time - now) % interval) to correct the current
interval duration.
This always pulls us back into sync at the end of each interval,
rather than relying on trying to incrementally adjust the time
duration at each interval start.
This greatly reduces drift when the usleep() clock is used.
Drop LV from passed API arg - it's always segment being checked.
Also use_layer is now in full control of lv_info_with_seg_status().
It decides which device needs to be checked to get 'the most info'.
TODO: future version should be able to expose status from
Start moving selection of status taken for a LV into a single place.
The logic for showing info & status has been spread over multiple
places and were doing too complex decision going agains each other.
Unify selection of status of origin & cow scanned device.
TODO: in future we want to grab status for LV and layered LV and have
both statuses present for display - i.e. when 'old snapshot'
of thinLV is takes and there is ongoing merge - at some moment
we are not capable to show all needed info.
pvscan --cache -aay was activating LVs in exported VGs
when it should not.
It appears that this was a regression from commit 9b640c3684
"pvscan: use process_each_vg for autoactivate".
(Automatic) repair may not be allowed during the initial sync of an upconverted
linear LV, because the data on the failing, primary leg hasn't been completely
synchronized to the N-1 other legs of the raid1 LV (replacing failed legs during
repair involves discontinuing access to any replaced legs data, thus preventing
data recovery on the primary leg e.g. via dd_rescue).
Even though repair would not cause data loss when adding legs to a fully synced
raid1 LV, we don't have information yet defining this state yet (e.g. a raid1
LV flag telling the fully synchronized status before any legs were added),
hence can't automatically decide to allow to repair.
If nonetheless a repair on a non-synced raid1 LVs is intended, the "--force"
option has to be provided.

Validate kernel support for raid0/raid4 on given and
requested segtype before requesting conversions on them.
Because raid10 wasn't present in old RAID targets, add
the same validation to be prepared once we support them.
Check for dm-raid target version with non-standard raid4 mapping expecting the dedicated
parity device in the last rather than the first slot and prohibit to create, activate or
convert to such LVs from striped/raid0* or vice-versa in order to avoid data corruption.
Add related tests to lvconvert-raid-takeover.sh
Resolves: rhbz1388962
On conversions between striped/raid0* and raid4, the kernel expects
the dedicated raid4 parity SubLVs in the first segment area rather than
in the last it's been allocated to, thus the data mapping ain't proper.
Enhance lvconvert (lib/metadata/raid_manip.c) to shift the dedicated
parity SubLVs on conversions from striped/raid0* to raid4 and vice-versa.
In case of raid0_meta -> raid4 where the MD raid0 personality already has
stored RAID array device positions in the superblocks, the MetaLVs have to
be cleared so that the kernel doesn't fail validating the array positions
after lvm has shifted them up by one.
Add more tests to lvconvert-raid-takeover.sh including one to check for
mapping flaws by converting a created raid4 with filesystem -> striped
and fsck it.
Whilst on it:
- add missing direct striped -> raid4 conversion to the takeover array
to avoid an intermim conversion from striped -> raid0*
- clean up the takeover array
- allow lvconvert to actually call lv_raid_convert() on all takeover requests
in order to check parameters and display messages provided by takeover
functions rather than just "...not supported" from within lvconvert
- fix a typo
Resolves: rhbz1386148
If a device disappears after obtaining the list of devices but before
processing it as a member of that list, dmsetup exits with a failure code.
Most commands still produce what output they can in these circumstances,
but 'ls --tree' and 'info -c' with fields depending on device dependencies
didn't. Change this.
Keep for now function logic making its decision on string content.
We need bigger patch converting all things to bit-checks later.
This needs however bigger refactoring.
So this commit reverts some changes from:
c8b6c13015
Commit 088b3d036a allowed repair on cache origin RAID LVs
and restricted lvconvert actions on RAID SubLVs to change number of mirrors, repair,
replace and type changes in order to avoid unsuitable coversions on them.
This introduced a regression prohibiting --splitmirrors on any RAID SubLVs
(e.g. of cache or thin LVs; lvconvert-{cache,thin}-raid.sh tests failing).
Fix allows split mirrors again.
Fix some indenting whilst on it.
When we have already decoded arg_is_set into a local var
or already set segment type - already use these
values instead of repeating calls and string checks.
Seems some error path where not converted to 'new' ECMD return value.
Fix them to always 'goto out'.
Also drop unneeded 'ret = 0' when ret already is 0.
In case a RAID orig LV is being cached and fails, repair is impossible because
"lvconvert --repair" gets rejected.
Fix by allowing repair on cache orig RAID LVs and
"lvconvert --replace/--mirrors/--type {raid*|mirror|striped|linear}" as well.
Allow the same lvconvert actions on any cache pool and metadata RAID SubLVs.
Resolves: rhbz1380532
Make sure that the temporary dm_histogram used for the bounds
argument is freed in the case that the user provided a --bounds
argument on the command line.
The dm-raid target now rejects device rebuild requests during ongoing
resynchronization thus causing 'lvconvert --repair ...' to fail with
a kernel error message. This regresses with respect to failing automatic
repair via the dmeventd RAID plugin in case raid_fault_policy="allocate"
is configured in lvm.conf as well.
Previously allowing such repair request required cancelling the
resynchronization of any still accessible DataLVs, hence reasoning
potential data loss.
Patch allows the resynchronization of still accessible DataLVs to
finish up by rejecting any 'lvconvert --repair ...'.
It enhances the dmeventd RAID plugin to be able to automatically repair
by postponing the repair after synchronization ended.
More tests are added to lvconvert-rebuild-raid.sh to cover single
and multiple DataLV failure cases for the different RAID levels.

Reload of thin-pool origin_only is designed to only post messages
to a thin-pool. It's not intended to be used for reload of thin-pool
table. Fix it by using standard call 'lv_update_and_reload()'.
Reinstantiate reporting of metadata percent usage for cache volumes.
Also show the same percentage with hidden cache-pool LV.
This regression was caused by optimization for a single-ioctl in
2.02.155.
Allow RAID scrubbing on cache origin sub-LV
This patch adds the ability to perform RAID scrubbing on the cache
origin sub-LV (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1169495). Cache origin
operations are restricted to non-clustered RAID LVs until there can
be further testing in a cluster (even for exclusive activation).
User can either specify directly _corig LV
or he can specify cache LV and operation --syncation is
passed ONLY to _corig LV.
If users wants to manipulation with cache-pool devices - he
needs to specify this object name.
Signed-off-by: Jonathan Brassow <jbrassow@redhat.com>
Introduce 'hard limit' for max number of cache chunks.
When cache target operates with too many chunks (>10e6).
When user is aware of related possible troubles he
may increase the limit in lvm.conf.
Also verbosely inform user about possible solution.
Code works for both lvcreate and lvconvert.
Lvconvert fully supports change of chunk_size when caching LV
(and validates for compatible settings).
Commit e947c362dd introduced
config_settings.h file for central place to store all definitions for
config options. By mistake, it used report/colums_as_rows instead
of report/columns_as_rows (missing "n" in "columns").
If the number of stripes requested is incompatible with the requested
type of raid, give an error instead of adjusting it.
If no stripes argument is supplied, continue to use an appropriate
default.
a579ba2ac2 fixed a regression causing a segfault if no external
origin existed but broke the logic leading to erroneous error
messages and creations of split off exported VGs in case the
external origin and the pool LVs were allocated on different PVs.

'pvmove -n name pv1 pv2' called with the name of a top-level LV
failed with mentioned commit.
Enhance pvmove-raid-segtypes.sh to test for prohibited RAID SubLV moves.
'pvmove -n name pv1 pv2' allows to collocate multiple RAID SubLVs
on pv2 (e.g. results in collocated raidlv_rimage_0 and raidlv_rimage_1),
thus causing loss of resilence and/or performance of the RaidLV.
Fix this pvmove flaw leading to potential data loss in case of PV failure
by preventing any SubLVs from collocation on any PVs of the RaidLV.
Still allow to collocate any DataLVs of a RaidLV with their sibling MetaLVs
and vice-versa though (e.g. raidlv_rmeta_0 on pv1 may still be moved to pv2
already holding raidlv_rimage_0).
Because access to the top-level RaidLV name is needed,
promote local _top_level_lv_name() from raid_manip.c
to global top_level_lv_name().

Enforce mirror/raid0/1/10/4/5/6 type specific maximum images when

Document those maxima in the lvcreate/lvconvert man pages.
- resolves rhbz1366060
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.
When lvm commands are executed in lvm shell, we cover the whole lvm
command execution within this shell now. That means, all messages logged
and status caught during each command execution is now recorded in the
log report, including overall command's return code.
We may call arg_count/grouped_arg_count/arg_value soon enough that
cmd->arg_values is not set yet.
Normally, when running a command, we execute lvm_run_command which in
turn calls _process_command_line to allocate and parse the command line
values and stores them in cmd->arg_values.
However, if we run lvm shell, this one doesn't accept any command line
options and we parse the command line for each command that is executed
within the lvm shell then. If we used any code that tries to access
cmd->arg_values through any of the the arg handling functions too
early, we could end up with a segfault due to uninitialized (NULL)
cmd->arg_values.
This patch just saves extra checks in all the code where arg handling
may be called too early so that the cmd->arg_values is not set up yet.
This does not apply to any of existing code, but subsequent patches
will need that.
With patches that will follow, this will make it possible to widen log
report coverage when commands are executed from lvm shell so the amount
of messages that may end up in stderr/stdout instead of log report are
minimized.
Add new log_context=shell and with log_object_type=cmd and
log_object_name=<command_name> for command log report to collect
overall return code from last command (this is reported under
log_type=status).
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

The MD raid6 personality being used to drive lvm raid6 LVs does
read-modify-write updates to any stripes and thus relies on correct
P and Q Syndromes being written during initial synchronization or
it may fail reconstructing proper user data in case of SubLVs failing.
We may not allow the '--nosync' option on
creation of raid6 LVs for that reason.
Update/fix 'man lvcreate' in that regard.
add lvcreate-raid-nosync.sh test script.

We don't need to refresh whole cmd context if we drop profile after
processing LVM command - just like we don't refresh cmd context when
we're applying the profile. It's because profiles contain only safe
subset of settings which do not require complete cmd context refresh.
This patch calls process_profilable_config instead of
refresh_toolcontext if there was profile applied for the LVM
command only, not --config which requires toolcontext refresh.
The process_profilable_config just sets proper values based on
values of profilable settings, but it does not do complete
reinitialization of various parts (e.g. filters, logging etc.).
'lvchange --resync LV' or 'lvchange --syncaction repair LV' request the
RAID layout specific parity blocks in raid4/5/6 to be recreated or the
mirrored blocks to be copied again from the master leg/copy for raid1/10,
thus not allowing a rebuild of a particular PV.
Introduce repeatable option '--[raid]rebuild PV' to allow to request
rebuilds of specific PVs in a RaidLV which are known to contain corrupt
data (e.g. rebuild a raid1 master leg).
Add test lvchange-rebuild-raid.sh to test/shell doing rebuild
variations on raid1/10 and 5; add aux function check_status_chars
to support the new test.

Prepare for new segment type conversion functionality in cases that
currently fail. In the short-term, we need to do this while limiting
the changes to the code paths for the conversions that are already
supported.
on any thin snap external origin LV which caused a segfault
when none existed as exposed by the vgsplit-thin.sh test.
Only call lv_is_on_pvs() if an external origin LV actually
exists and correct the related splitting logic.
General RAID and RAID segment type specific checks are added
to merge.c. New static _check_raid_seg() is called on each segment
of a RaidLV (which have just one) from check_lv_segments().
New checks caught some unititialized segment members
which are addressed here as well:
- initialize seg->region_size to 0 in lvcreate.c for raid0/raid0_meta
- initialize list seg->origin_list in lv_manip.c
Add matching support for -Z option also we doing full conversion
to cache-pool.
Extending coversion message to show which pool type is created
and whether the metadata will be wiped or remain unmodified.
Follow-up to 27a767d5e8.
Tunning behavior in a way we always prompt when option --zero is NOT specified.
Without -Z lvm expects user wants to 'reset' cache-pool metadata
(they could have been splitted from some cached LV)
If user doesn't want to zero metadata he needs to specify -Zn.
User may also avoid prompting for zeroing by using -Zy for
cache-pool (basically equals using --yes without -Z being given)
(unlike full convert case, there is no cache-pool being converted,
so there is not 'uncoditional' prompt in this case).
When volume was lvconvert-ed to a thin-volume with external origin,
then in case thin-pool was in non-zeroing mode
it's been printing WARNING about not zeroing thin volume - but
this is wanted and expected - so nothing to warn about.
So in this particular use case WARNING needs to be suppressed.
Adding parameter support for lvcreate_params.
So now lvconvert creates 'normal thin LV' in read-only mode
(so any read will 'return 0' for a moment)
then deactivate regular thin LV and reacreate in 'final R/RW' mode
thin LV with external origin and activate again.
When cache pool is reused for a new cached volume, there is
normally no need to 'keep' old cache-pool metadata as this
could cause major data lose.
Unlike with 'lvcreate -H -LX --cachepool' conversion, this lvconvert
path left the metadata unzeroed - partly for making easier some
debugging, but this was rather a bug.
So to keep possible reattach of 'unzeroed' metadata, user
now has to use 'lvconvert -Zn' for such conversion. In this case
the prompt will appear about possibe data loss and to proceed,
user has to confirm such operation. Without -Zn metadata are wiped.
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
of using all PVs in the VG or those provided on the command line.
In case any scripts rely on the old behaviour, just set
'raid_strip_all_devices = 1'.

The --uuid, --major and --alldevices arguments were incorrectly tested
after confirming argc is > 0, in a branch that only executes if argc
== 0 (i.e. they were unreachable).
Move all device checks before the test for argc and log an appropriate
error before returning.
raid0/raid0_meta type LVs don't have a default number of stripes when
created without '-i/--stripes Stripes' whereas other raid types have one.
Patch sets the default for raid0/raid0_meta to 2 stripes.
The default amount of stripes for raid4/5/10 is changed to 2 and for raid6 to 3
rather than using all PVs in the VG or those provided on the command line.
This is to avoid unintended high number of stripes in case of many PVs.
To select a different amount of stripes from the default,
use 'lvcreate -i/--stripes Stripes'.

Resync attempts on raid0/raid0_meta via 'lvchange --resync ...'
cause segfaults.
'lvchange --syncaction ...' doesn't get rejected either.
Prohibit both on raid0/raid0_meta LVs.

4420d41fea introduced recursive split of lvs which
splits a top-level LV together with it's sub LVs.
This lead to invalid temporary list pointers
causing hangs/OOM situations.
Patch updates the temporary list pointer
referencing a moved sub LV.
