If there ever would be a second call to dm_lib_init()
and envvar would be improperly set, some last set value
would be used while it should reset to default mangling mode.
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.
When the last entry in the timeout queue is unregistered,
wakeup sleeping condition, so the thread is deleted earlier.
So the thread resource is release earlier.
Also when monitored with tools like valgrind this eliminites reported
leak.
Individual events are handled through separate threads,
so once we have more then a single thread in this eventwait
sleeping, we got race on the dm_log setting, since
if one event is timeout out on alarm, while another is still waiting,
then dm log has been restored to NULL and the next sigalarm
has been reported as error.
Fix it by introducing counter which is protected via mutex,
and only when the last event is released, logging is restored.
TODO: libdm seems to have some static vars which may audit
for this type of use.
Reuse _node_send_messages for just checking
for valid transaction_id with preload.
This allows earlier detection of incosistent thin pool.
Code does the same thing, except for sending messages.
Improve testing of transation_id to not allow other difference
then either kernel TID is equal or is lower by oned and there
are queued messages for transaction.
Mark messages as submitted if the transaction_id is already matching.
Do not try to deactivate node on failure here and leave it on
proper error path of the caller.
Add internal error warning when string value is used
as sort value for numerical field.
Using log_warn since the function itself does not return error,
so we do not confuse log_error() checker.
Send error message on stdout, since after _display_info_long()
command return errors.
Patch makes consistent behavior for command:
dmsetup info -c non-existing-dev
&
dmsetup info non-existing-dev
Now both commands report error on stderr when they return error status
for non-existing device.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
Instead of calling syslog() from signal event handler,
run all logging code in the main loop.
Also it needs to take the lock and check for list
only when really needed.
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.
To detect mounted device, use also /proc/self/mountinfo
as so far the check was only able to detect ext4 mounted filesystem.
TODO:
Once proper testing for this feature is added, it may appear,
mountinfo check is enough and covers all cases and sysfs check
could be removed.
Sharing char* with field has a problem in error path,
when we allocate event, but fail to allocate timeout string.
Instead of creating complicated error paths to resolve
it individually stop using unions, and let the resource
to be released in a simple _free_message().
This was a regression introduced with e33fd978a8
(libdm v1.02.68/lvm2 v2.02.89) with the introduction of new output
fields blkdevname and blkdevs_used for ls and deps dmsetup commands.
A new common '_process_options' fn was added with that commit, but the
fn was called prematurely which then broke processing of
'dmsetup splitname -o' which should implicitly use '-c' option
and this was failing after the commit:
alatyr/~ $ dmsetup splitname -o lv_name /dev/mapper/vg_data-test
Option not recognised: lv_name
Couldn't process command line.
The '-c' had to be used for correct operation:
alatyr/~ $ dmsetup splitname -c -o lv_name /dev/mapper/vg_data-test
LV
test
Now fixed to work as it did before:
alatyr/~ $ dmsetup splitname -o lv_name /dev/mapper/vg_data-test
LV
test
When a section was empty in a configuration tree (no children - this is
allowed) and we were looking for a config node inside that section, the
_find_config_node function incorrectly returned the section itself if
the node inside that section was not found.
For example the configuration below:
The config:
abc {
}
And a function call to get the "def" node inside "abc" section:
_find_config_node(..., "abc/def")
...returned the "abc" node instead of NULL ("def" not found).
This in turn caused segfaults in the code using lookups in such
a configuration tree as we (correctly) expected that the node
returned was always the one we were looking for or NULL if not
found. But if incorrect node was returned instead, we processed
that as if this was the node we were looking for and so we
processed its value as well. But sections don't have values => segfault.
This patch fixes problem reported here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2013-January/msg00311.html
Fixing it by separating function for duplicating string token.

When /etc/lvm/lvm.conf is truncated at the first '"' of a line, all LVM

The segfault only seems to occur if the last character is the first '"'

detects the error and report parse error

If the resume of preloaded node fails, do not leave such
node in the table - since it may not be easy to detach such
node later when the node is i.e. internal.
i.e. failing activation of the thin pool with mismatching
chunk size may leave -tpool device in the table, which
could have been then removed only by dmsetup command.
Setting this environment variable will cause a full fallback
to old direct node and symlink management in libdevmapper and lvm2.
It means:
- disabling udev synchronization
(--noudevsync in dmsetup and --noudevsync + activation/udev_sync=0
lvm2 config)
- disabling dm and any subsystem related udev rules
(--noudevrules in dmsetup and activation/udev_rules=0 lvm2 config)
- management of nodes/symlinks under /dev directly by libdevmapper/lvm2
(--verifyudev in dmsetup and activation/verify_udev_operations=1
lvm2 config)
- not obtaining any device list from udev database
(devices/obtain_device_list_from_udev=0 lvm2 config)
Note: we could set all of these before - there's no functional change!
However the DM_DISABLE_UDEV environment variable is a nice shortcut
to make it easier for libdevmapper users so that one can switch off all
of the udev management off at one go directly on the command line,
without a need to modify any source or add any extra switches.
cookie_set variable found in the struct dm_task should be always
set to 1 after dm_task_set_cookie_call, even if udev_sync is disabled
as the cookie itself carries synchronization informations *as well as*
extra flags to control other aspects of udev support.
For example, one could disable the synchronization itself, but still
direct the libdm code to disable library fallback via
DM_UDEV_DISABLE_LIBRARY_FALLBACK flag. These extra flags still need
to be carried out!
A concrete example:
$ dmsetup create test --table "0 1 zero" --noudevsync
This disables synchronization with udev. As the --verifyudev option is
not used, we don't want to do any corrections. In other words, we
need DM_UDEV_DISABLE_LIBRARY_FALLBACK flag to be used. However,
with --noudevsync this was not the case - the flag was ignored!
This patch fixes the case when noudevsync is used but there are still
some extra flags passed within the cookie flag part. The synchronization
part of the cookie stays zero (which is ok as dm_udev_wait call on such a
cookie is simply a NOOP).
Reset counter after thin pool resize failure.
If the pool goes above threshold, support unmounting
of all thin volumes if the lvextend fails to avoid
overfilling of the pool.
Patch clears the flag if thin pool is stacked over mirror.
Since thin pool could be used to stack device over mirrors,
it needs resume properly i.e. mirrors with corelog which are otherwise
unconditionally skipped (for pvmove functionality).
If we were defining a section (which is a node without a value) and
the value was created automatically on dm_config_create_node call,
we were wasting resources as the next step after creating the config
node itself was assigning NULL for the node's value.
The dm_config_node_create + dm_config_create_value sequence should be
used instead for settings and dm_config_node_create alone for sections.
The majority of the code already used the correct sequence. Though
with dm_config_node_create fn creating the value as well, the pool
memory was being trashed this way.
This patch removes the node value initialization on dm_config_create_node
fn call and keeps it for the direct dm_config_create_value fn call.
A regression introduced in 2.02.89 (11e520256b)
caused the lvm dumpconfig <node> to print out
the node as well as its subsequent siblings.
The information about "only_one" mode got lost.
Before this patch (just an example node):
# lvm dumpconfig global/use_lvmetad
use_lvmetad=1
thin_check_executable="/usr/sbin/thin_check"
thin_check_options="-q"
(...all nodes to the end of the section)
With this patch applied:
# lvm dumpconfig global/use_lvmetad
use_lvmetad=1
Remove executable path detection in udev rules and use sbindir that
is configured, but still provide the original functionality by means
of 'configure --enable-udev-rule-exec-detection'.
Normally, the exec path for the tools called in udev rules should
not differ from the sbindir used, however, there are cases this is
necessary. For example different environments could be assembled
in a way that these path differ for some reason (distribution installer,
initrd ...).
This functionality is kept for compatibility only. Any environment
moving the binaries around and using different paths should be fixed
eventually!
There were several hard-coded values for run directory around the code.
Also, some tools are DM specific only, others are LVM specific and there
was no distinction made here before. With this patch applied, we have
this cleaned up a bit (subsystem in brackets, defaults in parentheses):
[common] configurable PID_DIR (/var/run)
lvm [lvm] configurable RUN_DIR (/var/run/lvm)
configurable locking dir (/var/lock/lvm)
clvmd [lvm] configurable pid file (PID_DIR/clvmd.pid)
socket (RUN_DIR/clvmd.sock)
lvmetad [lvm] configurable pid file (PID_DIR/lvmetad.pid)
socket (RUN_DIR/lvmetad.socket)
dm [dm] configurable DM_RUN_DIR (/var/run)
cmirrord [dm] configurable pid file (PID_DIR/cmirrord.pid)
dmeventd [dm] configurable pid file (PID_DIR/dmeventd.pid)
server fifo (DM_RUN_DIR/dmeventd-server)
client fifo (DM_RUN_DIR/dmeventd-client)
The changes briefly:
- added configure --with-default-pid-dir
- added configure --with-default-dm-run-dir
- added configure --with-lvmetad-pidfile
- by default, using one common pid directory for everything
(only lvmetad was not following this before)
With latest changes in the udev, some deprecated functions were removed
from libudev amongst which there was the "udev_get_dev_path" function
we used to compare a device directory used in udev and directore set in
libdevmapper. The "/dev" is hardcoded in udev now (udev version >= 183).
Amongst other changes and from packager's point of view, it's also
important to note that the libudev development library ("libudev-devel")
could now be a part of the systemd development library ("systemd-devel")
because of the udev + systemd merge.
In some occasional case dmevent restart was experiencing problems
with obtaining pid lockfile. So this patch tries to send several more kill
message until daemon kills itself so there is would reponse.
With this small loop the restart seems to work reliable,
although the loopsize and usleep are just randomly picked for now.
Just to make it clearer since there is the "dmsetup info -c -o blkdevname"
as well that shows the "block device name for this mapping", having a
"BlkDevName" header on output.
It's a bit confusing then if the "dmsetup info -c -o devs_used,blkdevs_used"
is named with a plural "DevNames"/"BlkDevNames" but at the same time having
a totally different meaning than the singular form "BlkDevName".
DevNames --> DevNamesUsed
BlkDevNames --> BlkDevNamesUsed
...makes it much more comprehensible.
LISTEN_PID and LISTEN_FDS environment variables are defined only during systemd
"start" action. But we still need to know whether we're activated during
"reload" action as well - we use the reload action to call "dmeventd -R"/"lvmetad -R"
for statefull daemon restart. We can't use normal "restart" as that is simply
composed of "stop" and "start" and we would lose any state the daemon has.
Auto mode can't deal with multiple mangled names. We can do that while working
in hex mode, but in auto mode, this would lead to device name ambiguity.
Be more strict when unmangling names on ioctl return - require the name to be
properly mangled in 'auto' and 'hex' mode. There really should not be any
blacklisted character since the names should be renamed already (by means of
renaming it directly or running 'dmsetup mangle' for automatic rename).
Avoid using NULL pointers from udev. It seems like some older versions of udev
were improperly returning NULL in some case, so do not silently break here,
and give at least a warning to the user.
Since lvm seems to call driver_version(NULL, 0) this would lead
to crash. Though the combination of the code is probably very hard to hit.
If the user doesn't supply version buffer, just skip printing to buffer.
pvcreate gives
WARNING: Ignoring unsupported value for metadata/pvmetadataignore.
It was warning if there is no config file entry instead of only if the node
exists but is empty.
Should be faster then strncpy - since we could avoid clearing 4KB pages
with each strncpy(...,PATH_MAX).
Also it's easy to check whether string fit - and eventually avoid
to continue working we incomplete string.
If we have good enough glibc to return number of needed chars, do not
loop try to reach good size, but use this size directly for allocation,
saving also last strdup.
Since now we start with 16 bytes - skip buffer realloc for shorter string.
We don't have anything better yet...
The problems the watch rule caused when removing devices should be covered
now with the "retry remove" logic. It's also better to have this maintained
by us, rather than having this rule anywhere else without proper control.
Device-mapper in kernel uses '\' as escape character so it's better
to double it to avoid any confusion when using existing device names
with '\' in the table specification.
For example:
dmsetup create x --table "0 8 linear /dev/mapper/a\x20b 0"
should pass just fine now without a need to explicitly escape the '\' char
like this:
dmsetup create x --table "0 8 linear /dev/mapper/a\\x20b 0"
dm_task_get_name_mangled will always return mangled form of the name while
the dm_task_get_name_unmangled will always return unmangled form of the name
irrespective of the global setting (dm_set/get_name_mangling_mode).
This is handy in situations where we need to detect whether the name is already
mangled or not. Also display functions make use of it.
If dm_task_set_name/newname is called, the name provided will be
automatically translated to correct encoded form with the hex enconding
so any character not on udev whitelist will be mangled with \xNN
format where NN is hex value of the character used.
By default, the name mangling mode used is the one set during
configure with the '--with-default-name-mangling' option.
This option configures the default name mangling mode used, one of:
AUTO, NONE and HEX.
The name mangling is primarily used to support udev character whitelist
(0-9, A-Z, a-z, #*-.:=@_) so any character that is not on udev whitelist
will get translated into an encoded form \xNN where NN is the hex value
of the character.
In case of zero bytes would be read from sysfs, it would store '\0' on
temp_buf[-1] address.
Simplify some buffer length calculation and use strcpy if we've just
checked string fits in give buffer.
Replace jump label error: with bad: commonly used in libdm.
Replace asserts with test for failing memory allocation.
Add at least stack traces.
Index counter starts from 1 (0 reserved for error), so replacing fingerprint.
Since the function dm_get_next_target() returns NULL as 'next' pointer
so it's not a 'real' error - set 0 to all parameters when NULL is
returned because of missing head.
i.e. one of use case::
do {
next = dm_get_next_target(dmt, next, &start, &length,
&target_type, ¶ms);
size += length;
} while (next);
Add 'blkdevname' and 'blkdevs_used' field to dmsetup info -c -o.
Add 'blkdevname' option to dmsetup ls --tree to see block device names.
Add '-o options' to dmsetup deps and ls to select device name type on output.
This is accomplished by reading associated sysfs information. For a dm device,
this is /sys/dev/block/major:minor/dm/name (supported in kernel version >= 2.6.29,
for older kernels, the behaviour is the same as for non-dm devices).
For a non-dm device, this is a readlink on /sys/dev/block/major:minor, e.g.
/sys/dev/block/253:0 --> ../../devices/virtual/block/dm-0.
The last component of the path is a proper kernel name (block device name).
One can request to read only kernel names by setting the 'prefer_kernel_name'
argument if needed.
LVM- prefix.
Try harder not to leave stray empty devices around (locally or remotely) when
reverting changes after failures while there are inactive tables.
If we know major:minor number of device (which is known after resume) we will
try to use sysfs to set/get read ahead parameters of device.
This avoid potential problem of blocking commands like 'dmsetup info' awaiting
for device being usable for open/close - i.e. overfilled thin pool may block
such command.
Avoid creation of target type name when it's longer then
DM_MAX_TYPE_NAME (noticed by static analyzer where the
sp.target_type might be missing '\0' at the end.)

TODO: documenting targest needs far more work...
Normally, restart simply means "stop and start" for systemd. However, if
we're installing new versions of the dmeventd binary/libdevmapper, we need
to restart dmeventd. This fails if we have some devices monitored - we need
to call "dmeventd -R" instead.
The "ExecReload" did not work quite well in some old versions of systemd,
systemd assumed that only the configuration is reloaded on "ExecReload",
not the whole binary itself so it lost track of dmeventd daemon (it lost new
dmeventd PID). This is fixed and seems to be working fine now with recent
versions of dmeventd.
When DEBUG_MEM is used, the memory is trashed with extra pattern before real
free() is called, and as this memory was marked as non accessible when used with
valgrind, make it again usable.
Add dm_device_has_mounted_fs fn to check mounted filesystem on a device.
This requires sysfs directory to be correctly set via dm_set_sysfs_dir
(/sys by default). If sysfs dir is not used or it's set incorrectly,
dm_device_has_{holders,mounted_fs} will return 0!
This is a workaround for long-lasting problem with using the WATCH udev
rule. When trying to remove a DM device, this one can still be opened
while processing the event in parallel (generated based on the WATCH
udev rule).
Let's use this until we have a proper solution.
Adding debuging functionality to lock and unlock memory pool.
2 ways to debug code:
crc - is default checksum/hash of the locked pool.
It gets slower when the pool is larger - so the check is only
made when VG is finaly released and it has been used more then
once.Thus the result is rather informative.
mprotect - quite fast all the time - but requires more memory and
currently it is using posix_memalign() - this could be
later modified to use dm_malloc() and align internally.
Tool segfaults when locked memory is modified and core
could be examined for faulty code section (backtrace).
Only fast memory pools could use mprotect for now -
so such debug builds cannot be combined with DEBUG_POOL.
Systemd preloads file descriptors for us and passes them in for
newly spawned daemon when using on-demand fifo (or socket)
based activation.
This patch adds checks for file descriptors preloaded by
systemd and uses them instead of opening the FIFOs again
to properly support on-demand FIFO-based activation.
(We'll change FIFOs to sockets soon - but still this
part of the code will stay almost the same.)
The filename to adjust the oom score was changed in 2.6.36.
We should use oom_score_adj instead of oom_adj (which is still
there under /proc, but it's scheduled for removal in August 2012).
New oom_score_adj uses a range from -1000 (OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN,
disable oom killing) to 1000 (OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX).
and use this for the LVM critical section logic. Also report an error if
code tries to load a table while any device is known to be in the
suspended state.
(If the variety of problems these changes are showing up can't be fixed
before the next release, the error messages can be reduced to debug
level.)
are affected by the move. (Currently it's possible for I/O to become
trapped between suspended devices amongst other problems.
The current fix was selected so as to minimise the testing surface. I
hope eventually to replace it with a cleaner one that extends the
deptree code.
Some lvconvert scenarios still suffer from related problems.
Align strdup char* allocation just on 2 bytes.
It looks like wasting space to align strings on 8 bytes.
(Could be even 1byte - but for hashing it might eventually get better
perfomance - but probably hardly measurable).
TODO: check on various architectures it's not making any problems.
With recent update of dm_report_field_string() API call to accept
completely const objects - we no longer need loose constness here
and keep it forwarding.
LVM doesn't behave correctly if running as non-root user,
there is warning when it detects it.
Despite this, it produces many error messages, saying nothing.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=620571
This patch fixes two things:
1) Removes eror message from device_is_usable() which has no
information value anyway (real warning is printed inside it).
2) it fixes device-mapper initialization, if we support
core dm module autoload and device node is present, it should
fail early and not try recreate existing and correct node.
(non-root == permission denied here)
N.B. In future code should support user roles, some more
drastic checks in code are probably contraproductive now.
dm_hash binary functions takes void* key - so there is no need to cast
pointers to char* (also the hash key does not have trailing '\0').
This is slight API change, but presents no change for the API user side
it just allows to write code easier as the casting could be removed.
When the ->params string is empty - memory access is made on the byte
before allocated buffer (catched by valgrind) - in the case it would
constain 0x20 - it would even overwrite this buffer.
So fix by checking len > 0 before doing such access.
Also slightly optimise this loop from repeated strlen call.
As dm_report_field_string() doesn't modify content of data pointer,
it can be marked as const.
It's slight API change - but doesn't require any change on the user side
and supports wider range of arguments without const casting.
(i.e. we may use as paramater const lv struct this way: &lv->name)
This is to avoid any scanning and processing of DM devices while they are in
suspended state (e.g. a rename while the device is suspended - a CHANGE event
is generated!). Otherwise, any scanning in the rules could end up with locking
the calling process until the device is resumed and so we don't receive a
notification about udev rules completion until then (and that effectively
locks out the process awaiting the notification!).
However, we still keep 'disk' and any 'subsystem' related udev rules running.
We trust these and these should check themselves whether a device is suspended
or not, not trying to run any scanning if it is.
Fix assert abort of dmsetup (when compiled with pool debug)
dmsetup splitname --nameprefixes --noheadings --rows gvg-a2
Move pool begin in the inner loop - otherwise it would using
already 'ended' pool object.
Change API interface to accept even completely const array patterns.
This should present no change for libdm users and allows to pass
pattern arrays without cast to const char **.
Detect existence of new SELinux selabel interface during configure.
Use new dm_prepare_selinux_context instead of dm_set_selinux_context.
We should set the SELinux context before the actual file system object creation.
The new dm_prepare_selinux_context function sets this using the selabel_lookup
fn in conjuction with the setfscreatecon fn. If selinux/label.h interface
(that should be a part of the selinux library) is not found during configure,
we fallback to the original matchpathcon function instead.
Fix memory leak of field_id in _output_field function.
There's been a patch added recently to use dynamic allocation for metadata
tags buffer to remove the 4k limit (for writing metadata out). However, when
using reporting commands like vgs and lvs, we still need to fix libdm reporting
functions themselves to support such long outputs. So the buffer used in those
reporting functions is dynamic now.
The patch also includes a fix for field_id memory leak which was found in
the _output_field function.
We can't rely on the fact that udev should prepare the node with right major
and minor number to trigger the module autoloading. We have to take into
account that the node could be missing or it could exist with improper
major and minor number assigned (e.g. from previous kernel versions in
an environment with static nodes and without udev). Make any corrections
if needed!
This can happen with older rules (without support for synthesized events)
that are still part of initrd while using new udev rules in the system itself.
The consequence was that new udev rules incorrectly assumed that not having
DM_UDEV_PRIMARY_SOURCE_FLAG set always means the uevent is synthesized and
inappropriate (device is still not properly activated) and so it should be
ignored. However, initrd is not updated automatically while updating the
libdevmapper/udev rules in the system and so we end up with the rules not
detecting and setting crucial parts in the initrd environment and the rules
in the system that rely on the information that should have been stored in
udev db (which is incorrect in this configuration, of course).
The overall consequence is that the update of libdevmapper/lvm2 without
regenerating the initrd could end up with a boot failure! Ignoring the event
means removing any existing symlinks in /dev!
To fix this, increase udev rules version to make a difference. So from now on,
mark rules without proper support for synthesized events as
DM_UDEV_RULES_VSN="1" and 2 (or higher) if that support is included.
We still need to detect this one! We're not so strict with CHANGE events as
with the ADD events while applying filters in the rules so this one would
pass and it would process the rules prematurely (because it appears *before*
the actual CHANGE event used when resuming a DM device while setting read-only
state at the same time).
udev_sync feature requires semaphores (part of System V IPC) to be configured
in kernel (CONFIG_SYSVIPC). Check whether it is supported and if not, give
a warning message and disable udev synchronisation code automatically to
avoid any further error states and associated problems.
One should use the kernel with System V IPC support enabled or libdevmapper
with udev_sync feature disabled.
Switch dmeventd to use dm_create_lockfile and drop duplicate code.
Allow clvmd pidfile to be configurable.
Switch cmirrord and clvmd to use dm_create_lockfile.
