When showing sizes with 'H|human' units we do use standard rounding.
This however is confusing users from time to time,
when the printed number uses some biger units i.e. GiB and there is just
tiny fraction of space missing.
So here is some real-life example with new 'r' unit.
$lvs
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin
lvol0 vg -wi-a----- 1.99g
lvol1 vg -wi-a----- <2.00g
lvol2 vg -wi-a----- <2.01g
Meaning is - lvol1 has 'slightly' less then 2.00g - from sign '<' user
can be aware the LV doesn't have full 2.00GiB in size so he
will be less surpriced allocation of 2G volume will not succeed.
$ vgs
VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree
vg 2 2 0 wz--n- <6,00g <2,01g
For uses needing 'old' undecorated human unit simply will continue
to use 'H|h' units.
The new R|r may further change when we would recongnize some
other way how to improve readability.
With recent commit d6a74025df using
INTERNAL_ERROR while cheking layer LV - it's been noticed mirror
logic currently doesn't do a correct thing during upconversion and
does a full-try instead of checking only allocator capabilities.
This leads to invalid usage of layer.
To keep existing code running before providing a fix, relax
INTERNAL_ERROR just an error and keep the 'code' running.
Once mirror code is fixed, these all check should be switched
to internal errors.
The blkdeactivate script processes MD devices too so we should unmount
any mount point on top of an MD device if blkdeactivate -u|--umount is
called.

Since we still experience occasiaonal test failure - slow
things down even more to avoid race.
Add support for 'quick' table changes between normal & delayed tables.
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.
Show proper internal error for failing command when there are some
inconsitencies in sizes of LV and its layer instead of rather
meaningless error code 5.
(Could be hit i.e. if user tried to 'resize' cached LV and then
uncache such LV.)
During rework of resize code this validation check
has been lost (in my resize branch). Upstream
is still not supporting resize of any cache type LV
so needs to be prevented.
When we need to clear dirty cache content of cached LV, there
is table reload which usually is shortly followed by next metadata
change. However udev can't (as of now) process udev event
while device is 'suspended'.
So whenever sequence of 'suspend/resume/suspend' is needed,
we need to wait first for finishing of 'resume' processing before
starting next 'suspend'. Otherwise there is 'race' danger of triggering
unwantend umount by systemd as such event will trigger
SYSTEMD_READY=0 state for a moment for such changed device.
Such race is pretty ugly to trace so we may need to review more
sequencies for missing 'sync'.
(Other option is to enhnace 'udev' rules processing to avoid
such dramatic actions to be happening for suspended devices).

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>
Add to commits 87117c2b25 and 0b8bf73a63 to avoid refreshing two
times altogether, thus avoiding issues related to clustered, remotely
activated RaidLV. Avoid need to repeat "lvchange --refresh RaidLV"
two times as a workaround to refresh a RaidLV. Fix handles removal
of temporary *-missing-* devices created for any missing segments
in RAID SubLVs during activation.
Because the kernel dm-raid target isn't able to handle transiently
failing devices properly we need
"[dm-devel][PATCH] dm raid: fix transient device failure processing"
as well.
test: add lvchange-raid-transient-failures.sh
and enhance lvconvert-raid.sh

When thin-pool processes event and 'lvextend --use-policies' fails
rather capture up-to-date new info as the fullness percentage may
have jumped noticable. This way we could use 'more' correct numbers
when checking for thresholds.
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.
Move individual segment validation to a separate function
executed for 'complete_vg'.
Move some 'extra' validation bits from 'raid' validation to global
segtype validation (so extending existing normal validation)
TODO: still some test are left to be moved.
Reduce some duplication in validation process - there are still
some left thought so still room for improving overal speed.
The function timeout_add_seconds has quite a bit of variability. Using
timeout_add which specifies the timeout in ms instead of seconds. Testing
shows that this is much more consistent which should improve clients that
are using shorter timeouts for the API and the connection.
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)
Call _stats_regions_destroy() from dm_stats_list() if dms->regions
is non-NULL. This avoids leaking any pool allocations and ensures
the handle is in a known state: if an error occurs during the list,
dms->regions will be NULL and the handle will appear empty.
It could be actually better to use even cache origin in
read-only mode so there could no be some 'acidental'
change being done on this volume.
This however need further tools enhancment - where we would need
to handle whole subtree on 'lvchange -pr/-prw'.
When command calls backup() more then once (which is actually not
wanted) this warning message is shown repeatedly:
"WARNING: This metadata update is NOT backed up."
Instead now print message just once and less confuse user.
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 cache volume may be converted from normal to -real layer LV
we need to improve logic for call cache_check.
With this patch, we register call for cache_check only when metadata LV
is not yet present in active table slot (should match initial table
load).
This avoids unwanted checking when cache would become layer device
online.
The system is likely in some very inconsisten state.
Do not try to make it even more problematic with trying
to invoke tools like thin_check via callback.
External origin could be reloaded via more locks.
It's actually even more complex then thin-pool,
as it may be active on more nodes for linear LVs
(and maybe even more types).
External origin is always read-only thus unmodifiable
device so there should not be a problem accesing it
through multiple nodes.
Also for thin-pool check first presence of active thin-pool.
FIXME:
It's not easy to detect on which nodes this device is active
Thus manipulation with such device may require checking every
node and it active state and refresh.
But since such setup is quite complex to prepare and use,
hopefully there are not user trying to 'explore' this usage yet.
