Version >= 1.8.0 of the DM snapshot target appends metadata sectors used
to a snapshot's status. This patch allows LVM2 to accurately determine
if the snapshot store is empty. Knowing when a snapshot store is empty
is important in the context of snapshot-merge (means merge is complete).
Also update LVM2 to be aware of the possibility for "Merge failed" in
the snapshot-merge target's status.

the background polldaemon is allowed to start. It can be used
standalone or in conjunction with --refresh or --available y.
Control over when the background polldaemon starts will be particularly
important for snapshot-merge of a root filesystem.
Dracut will be updated to activate all LVs with: --poll n
The lvm2-monitor initscript will start polling with: --poll y
NOTE: Because we currently have no way of knowing if a background
polldaemon is active for a given LV the following limitations exist and
have been deemed acceptable:
1) it is not possible to stop an active polldaemon; so the lvm2-monitor
initscript doesn't stop running polldaemon(s)
2) redundant polldaemon instances will be started for all specified LVs
if vgchange or lvchange are repeatedly used with '--poll y'

This patch tries to correctly track changes in lvmcache related to commit/revert.
For vg_commit: if there is cached precommitted metadata, after successfull commit
these metadata must be tracked as committed.
For vg_revert: remote nodes must drop precommitted metadata and its flag in lvmcache.
(N.B. Patch do not touch LV locks here in any way.)
All this machinery is needed to properly solve remote node cache invalidaton which
cause several problems recently observed.
Lock mode is int masked by LCK_TYPE_MASK, always.
Patch also remove uneccessary masking lock flag on sender side,
if masking is needed, it is don on client side already.
- Add drop_precommitted flag to force drop precommitted metadata
- add lvmcache_commit_metadata() which upgrades precommitted metadata in cache
No functional change in this patch - just preparation for following change.
And decode flags in humar readable form in client.
And clean some trailing whitespaces.
No functional change in this patch (only debugging messages changed).
The use_precommitted flag indicates, that we want to use precommitted metadata
(used in suspend call to preload table with precommitted data).
But if there are no such data, committed metadata are read but the cache
still contains that precommitted flag.
(The problem is that later possible drop_metadata call will not invalidate
device in cache.)
The wrong precommitted state is stored in on remote nodes during normal
suspend/resume cycle _without_ vg_write/commit.
Use the PRECOMMITTED status flag here instead (which is always set if using
precommited metadata here).
If renaming snapshot with virtual origin, the origin is renamed too.
But the code must resume LVs in reverse order to properly
pair memlock (in cluster locking).
(The resume of snapshot resumes origin too and later resume
is ignored otherwise.)
When PV device reappears with old metadata, it is
always updated to new version byt atutomatic metadata
repair.
Remove missing flag if device is empty.
If device contains allocated extents, issue warning that
user must remove volumes and re-add this PV before
manipulating with this volume.
This partially solves bug 547842 when one PV (log) is failed,
dmeventd removes that device and later this device reappears and
is wrongly added into VG marked missing.
The memlock_inc() fix is wrong, memlock count is not
propagated to long living process (clvmd) and just
it underflow there.
Also suspend is needed to pre-load precommited metadata
on other nodes (remapping to error taget in this case).
With explicit suspend we generate lock request and code
can update memlock count.
(Infinitely "locked" memory caused that fs_unlock() was not
called properly and on cluster nodes remains
old links in /dev/mapper for not active devices.)
(N.B. failing of suspend call here is not handled as fatal
error - the LV is going to be removed later anyway.)
The new recovery code first tries to repair LV and then removes failed PV
from VG. It means that during operation there can be VG with PV missing,
and vg_read code handles it like not consistent VG.
We already allows returning "inconsistent" commited metadata,
for mirror repair we need this for precommited too.
(The suspend call prepares precommited metadata to inactive table on
other cluster nodes.)
"Inconsistent" here means - correct metadata, just with some metadata areas
not found (obviously on missing or failed PVs).
Patch should not cause any problems, only real change is
removing LCK_LOCAL bit from lock type flag, it is never used there.
(LCK_LOCAL is part arg[1] bits anyway.)
If there is problem deactivate LV and
_init_mirror_log is called with remove_on_failure = 1,
remove the newly created log LV from metadata.
(This can happen if there is active device with the same name
but different UUID.)
The main reason for this "workaround" patch is to
- do not keep _mlog volume in metadata, so user can repeat the action
- print better error message describing the real problem
# lvcreate -m 2 -n lv1 -l 1 --nosync vg_bar
WARNING: New mirror won't be synchronised. Don't read what you didn't write!

At this point they probably do not matter but going forward they
may - depends on future patches for replicator, etc. I think
these probably got missed because they were 'flags' so I changed
the name to 'status' to be consistent. So the on-disk
things 'flags' and the in structure 'status' (bits).
NOTE: WHATS_NEW already has entry for this in current release.

pvmove suspends all moved LVs + pvmoveX mirrored LV itself.
This suspends even underlying pvmoveX and following explicit
suspend call is just noop.
But in resume the pvmoveX volume is no longer underlying
device for moved LVs, so it performs full resume with memlock
decrease.
Code must call memlock_inc() if suspend is requested, volume
is already suspended and error is not requested.
These are no longer used by anyone. The dm_list defines are all in
libdevmapper.h and libdm/datastruct/list.c contains any function definitions.
There is some code in "old-tests" that still use this but this code is not
being maintained.
Thanks to Zdenek for spotting this.
The physical_volume, volume_group, logical_volume and lv_segment
structures' 'status' member is now uint64_t.
The alignment of these structures was also audited to remove holes. The
movement of some members in 'volume_group' and 'lv_segment' eliminates
holes. The 'physical_volume' structure still has one 4-byte hole after
'pe_size'; the other structures no longer have any holes. Each
structures' size has not changed.
The sysfs filter initialise hash of available devices using
scan of /sys/block. We need to refresh even this hash
when performing full scan otherwise the newly appeared
device could be rejected, because there is no entry
in sysfs filter.
This easily could happen when attaching new device
to cluster node. (Only force refresh of context
in clvmd -R works here now).
Unfortunately consequences of this are much worse,
missing device part on that node is replaced with missing segment
(even when no partial arg is selected) and this directly
lead to data corruption.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=538515
Simply fix it by refreshing device filters in lvmcache
before performing the full device scan.
(This affects only cluster locking because only cluster
locking module set LCK_PRE_MEMLOCK.)
With currect code you get
# vgchange -a n
Internal error: _memlock_count has dropped below 0.
when using cluster locking.
It is caused by _unlock_memory calls here
if ((flags & (LCK_SCOPE_MASK | LCK_TYPE_MASK)) == LCK_LV_RESUME)
memlock_dec();
Unfortunately it is also (wrongly) called in immediate unlock
(when LCK_HOLD is not set) from lock_vol
(LCK_UNLOCK is misinterpreted as LCK_LV_RESUME).
Avoid this by comparing original flags and provide memlock
code type of operation (suspend/resume).
