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.
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.
Make it possible to decide whether we want to initialize connections and
filters together with toolcontext creation.
Add "filters" and "connections" fields to struct
cmd_context_initialized_parts and set these in cmd_context.initialized
instance accordingly.
(For now, all create_toolcontext calls do initialize connections and
filters, we'll change that in subsequent patch appropriately.)
Currently, there are 5 things that device_is_usable function checks
(for DM devices only, of course):
- is device empty?
- is device blocked? (mirror)
- is device suspended?
- is device composed of an error target?
- is device name/uuid reserved?
If answer to any of these questions is "yes", then the device is not usable.
This patch just adds possibility to choose what to check for exactly - the
device_is_usable function now accepts struct dev_usable_check_params make
this selection possible. This is going to be used by subsequent patches.
LVM has restricter character set that is allowed for VG-LV names
and the dm names constructed do not contain any blacklisted characters
that would require name mangling.
Also, when any other device-mapper device is scanned that could
possibly contain such blacklisted characters, we reference the
device by its major:minor instead of dm name (e.g. _device_is_usable fn).
lvm has a default umask value in the config file that defaults
to 0077 which lvm changes to during normal operation. This
causes a problem when the code is used as a library with
liblvm as it is changing the umask for the process. This
patch saves off the current umask, sets to what is specified
in the config file and restores it what it was on library
function call exit.
The user is now free to change the umask in their application at
anytime including between library calls.
This fix address BZ:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1012113
Tested by setting umask to 0777 and running the python unit
test and verifying that umask is still same value as expected
at the test completion and with a successful run.

The error buffer will stack error messages which is fine. However,
once you retrieve the error messages it doesn't make sense to keep
appending for each additional error message when running in the
context of a library call.
This patch clears and resets the buffer after the user retrieves
the error message.

For example, the old call and reference:
find_config_tree_str(cmd, "devices/dir", DEFAULT_DEV_DIR)
...now becomes:
find_config_tree_str(cmd, devices_dir_CFG)
So we're referring to the named configuration ID instead
of passing the configuration path and the default value
is taken from central config definition in config_settings.h
automatically.
This was missing in liblvm and it caused all udev-related operations to
not take effect when using liblvm, e.g. obtaining the list of devices from udev
db instead of scanning the whole /dev which also recreated the .cache as a side
effect. This was also the case with udisks-lvm-pv-export prober which is run
from within udev rules whenever the CHANGE event is fired.
allocates these buffers in such way it adds memory page for each such buffer
and size of unlock memory check will mismatch by 1 or 2 pages.
This happens when we print or read lines without '\n' so these buffers are
used. To avoid this extra allocation, use setvbuf to set these bufffers ahead.

lvm2app forces applications to start with a volume group name,
open the volume group, then operate on individual pvs. In some
cases the application may want to start with a device name rather
than the volume group name. Today, if an application wants to
do this, it must iterate through all the volume groups to find
the volume group that the specific device is attached to.
These new interfaces allow the application to avoid such overhead.
Bump the lvm2app version number to 3.
A shortcut for --ignorelockingfailure, --ignoremonitoring, --poll n options
and LVM_SUPPRESS_LOCKING_FAILURE_MESSAGES environment variable used all at
once in initialisation scripts (e.g. rc.sysinit or initrd).
This option should be configurable, but for now
do not set it at all.
(lvm2app is used in udisks probers and there
cac cause several nasty races when trying to update
lvmcache during rescan.)
more descriptive message if locking fails instead of
"Locking type -1 initialisation failed."
Use read-only locking instead of misleading ignorelocking option
in message.
Allowing the caller to override the LVM configuration with an API will
enable them to use things such as device filters.
While very flexible, there is some danger to this API in that it will
make it harder to debug setups that have a changing config and deduce
what might have happened. At some point we may want to limit the scope
of this API but for now it is as open as the --config option to lvm commands.
Update exported symbols. When I renamed lvm_reload_config to lvm_config_reload
I forgot to rename so I renamed that one here.
This I believe is the last liblvm API for now. ;-)

The general naming scheme for most liblvm APIs is:
lvm_<object>_<action>
As there are likely to be other things to do on the lvm 'config' object
(i.e. lvm_config_set_device_filter), we should use consistent naming.
Author: Dave Wysochanski <dwysocha@redhat.com>
For now, we use the following scheme.
For APIs that return an int, success is 0, fail is -1.
APIs that return handles, success is non-NULL, fail is NULL.
At this early stage, liblvm error handling mechanism is subject to change,
but for now we go with this simple scheme consistent with system
programming.

This needs initialized to non-NULL before using the archive() call.
Normally this is set to the cmdline string when lvm is called from a tool.
We could think about using it in another way, as a potential audit trail
of liblvm calls, or just leave it set to the default "liblvm", similar to
what clvmd does. For now, just set it to "liblvm".

We would like to declare our handles pv_t, vg_t, and lv_t in
the external library header lvm.h. However, these are already
defined in metadata-exported.h for the use of some of the
in-progress liblvm APIs. Thus, we cannot both define
them in lvm.h and include metadata-exported.h in the external
library C files. We could use preprocessor tricks (#ifndef)
but for now we just avoid the include.
The original liblvm.a has been moved to liblvm-internal.a.
We now use liblvm.a for the new application library and build
it inside liblvm directory.
Change dependencies so tools depend on liblvm application library,
and application library depends on liblvm internal.
