245b85692e config: use config checks and add support for creating trees from config definition (config_def_create_tree fn)
Configuration checking is initiated during config load/processing
(_process_config fn) which is part of the command context
creation/refresh.

This patch also defines 5 types of trees that could be created from
the configuration definition (config_settings.h), the cfg_def_tree_t:

  - CFG_DEF_TREE_CURRENT that denotes a tree of all the configuration
    nodes that are explicitly defined in lvm.conf/--config

  - CFG_DEF_TREE_MISSING that denotes a tree of all missing
    configuration nodes for which default valus are used since they're
    not explicitly used in lvm.conf/--config

  - CFG_DEF_TREE_DEFAULT that denotes a tree of all possible
    configuration nodes with default values assigned, no matter what
    the actual lvm.conf/--config is

  - CFG_DEF_TREE_NEW that denotes a tree of all new configuration nodes
    that appeared in given version

  - CFG_DEF_TREE_COMPLETE that denotes a tree of the whole configuration
    tree that is used in LVM2 (a combination of CFG_DEF_TREE_CURRENT +
    CFG_DEF_TREE_MISSING). This is not implemented yet, it will be added
    later...

The function that creates the definition tree of given type:

  struct dm_config_tree *config_def_create_tree(struct config_def_tree_spec *spec);

Where the "spec" specifies the tree type to be created:

  struct config_def_tree_spec {
    cfg_def_tree_t type;	/* tree type */
    uint16_t version;		/* tree at this LVM2 version */
    int ignoreadvanced;		/* do not include advanced configs */
    int ignoreunsupported;	/* do not include unsupported configs */
  };

This tree can be passed to already existing functions that write
the tree on output (like we already do with cmd->cft).

There is a new lvm.conf section called "config" with two new options:

  - config/checks which enables/disables checking (enabled by default)

  - config/abort_on_errors which enables/disables aborts on any type of
    mismatch found in the config (disabled by default)

70f57996b3 RAID: Add new 'raid10_segtype_default' setting in lvm.conf
If '--mirrors/-m' and '--stripes/-i' are used together when creating
a logical volume, mirrors-over-stripes is currently chosen.  The user
can override this by using the '--type raid10' option on creation.
However, we want a place where we can set the default behavior to
'raid10' explicitly - similar to the "mirror" and "raid1" tunable,
mirror_segtype_default.

A follow-on patch should use this new setting to change the default
from "mirror" to "raid10", as this is the preferred segment type.

0e4ffd9d3b clean-up: Rename lvm.conf setting 'mirror_region_size' to 'raid_region_size'
We have been using 'mirror_region_size' in lvm.conf as the default region
size for RAID logical volumes as well as mirror logical volumes.  Since,
"raid" is more inclusive and representative than "mirror", I have changed
the name of this setting.  We must still check for the old setting and warn
the user if we are overriding it with the new setting if both happen to be
present.

7f747a0d73 logging: add debug classes
Add log/debug_classes to lvm.conf to allow debug messages to be
classified and filtered at runtime.

The dm_errno field is only used by log_error(), so I've redefined it
for log_debug() messages to hold the message class.

By default, all existing messages appear, but we can add categories that
generate high volumes of data, such as logging all traffic to/from
lvmetad.

log_print_unless_silent.

When silent, the following commands still produce output:
dumpconfig, lvdisplay, lvmdiskscan, lvs, pvck, pvdisplay,
pvs, version, vgcfgrestore -l, vgdisplay, vgs.
[Needs checking.]

Non-essential messages are shifted from log level 4 to log level 5
for syslog and lvm2_log_fn purposes.

d098140177 Add policy based automated repair of RAID logical volumes
The RAID plug-in for dmeventd now calls 'lvconvert --repair' to address failures
of devices in a RAID logical volume.  The action taken can be either to "warn"
or "allocate" a new device from any spares that may be available in the
volume group.  The action is designated by setting 'raid_fault_policy' in
lvm.conf - the default being "warn".

8dd6036da4 Add activation/use_linear_target enabled by default. (prajnoha)
LVM metadata knows only of striped segments - not linear ones.
The activation code detects segments with a single stripe and switches
them to use the linear target.

If the new lvm.conf setting is set to 0 (e.g. in a test script), this
'optimisation' is turned off.

07113beea3 Do not scan device if it is part of active multipath.
Add filter which tries to check if scanned device is part
of active multipath.

Firstly, only SCSI major number devices are handled in filter.

Then it checks if device has exactly one holder (in sysfs) and
if it is device-mapper device and DM-UUID is prefixed by "MPATH-".

If so, this device is filtered out.

The whole filter can be switched off by setting
mpath_component_detection in lvm.conf.

57f4dfc653 Reduce preallocated stack size
Go with just 64KiB for stack.

Closer inspection should be made, whether we actually need to play with
settings at all.

Since default stack size is 8MB and gets mapped via page locking thus,
it seems there is no big help with preallocation of stack to some value.

cac52ca4ce Add basic RAID segment type(s) support.
Implementation described in doc/lvm2-raid.txt.

Basic support includes:
- ability to create RAID 1/4/5/6 arrays
- ability to delete RAID arrays
- ability to display RAID arrays
Notable missing features (not included in this patch):
- ability to clean-up/repair failures
- ability to convert RAID segment types
- ability to monitor RAID segment types

418663b61c Disable udev fallback by default and add activation/udev_fallback to lvm.conf.
We've used udev fallback code till now to check whether udev
created/removed the entries in /dev correctly and if not,
a repair was done (giving a warning messagea about that).

This patch adds a possibility to enable this additional check
and subsequent fallback only when required (debugging purposes
mostly) and trust udev completely.

So let's disable the fallback code by default and add a new
configuration option "activation/udev_fallback".

(The original code for creating the nodes will still be used
in case the device directory that is set in lvm.conf differs
from the one that udev uses and also when activation/udev_rules
is set to 0 - otherwise we would end up with no nodes/symlinks
at all)

edcda01a1e Obtain device list from udev by default if LVM2 is compiled with udev support.
Also, add a new 'obtain_device_list_from_udev' setting to lvm.conf with which
we can turn this feature on or off if needed.

If set, the cache of block device nodes with all associated symlinks
will be constructed out of the existing udev database content.
This avoids using and opening any inapplicable non-block devices or
subdirectories found in the device directory. This setting is applied
to udev-managed device directory only, other directories will be scanned
fully. LVM2 needs to be compiled with udev support for this setting to
take effect. N.B. Any device node or symlink not managed by udev in
udev directory will be ignored with this setting on.
