04101bc430 lib: drop unneeded vg_read call
Since we take a lock inside vg_lock_newname() and we do a full
detection of presence of  vgname inside all scanned labels,
there is no point to do this for second time to be sure
there is no such vg.

The only side-effect of such call would be a full validation of
some already exising VG metadata - but that's not the task for
vgcreate when create a new VG.

This call noticable reduces number of scans during 'vgcreate'.

7e7411966a lib: avoid reparsing same metadata
When reading VG mda from multiple PVs - do all the validation only
when mda is seen for the first time and  when mda checksum and length
is same just return already existing VG pointer.

(i.e. using 300PVs for a VG would lead to create and destroy 300 config trees....)

1e65fdd9ba system_id: make new VGs read-only for old lvm versions
Previous versions of lvm will not obey the restrictions
imposed by the new system_id, and would allow such a VG
to be written.  So, a VG with a new system_id is further
changed to force previous lvm versions to treat it as
read-only.  This is done by removing the WRITE flag from
the metadata status line of these VGs, and putting a new
WRITE_LOCKED flag in the flags line of the metadata.

Versions of lvm that recognize WRITE_LOCKED, also obey the
new system_id.  For these lvm versions, WRITE_LOCKED is
identical to WRITE, and the rules associated with matching
system_id's are imposed.

A new VG lock_type field is also added that causes the same
WRITE/WRITE_LOCKED transformation when set.  A previous
version of lvm will also see a VG with lock_type as read-only.

Versions of lvm that recognize WRITE_LOCKED, must also obey
the lock_type setting.  Until the lock_type feature is added,
lvm will fail to read any VG with lock_type set and report an
error about an unsupported lock_type.  Once the lock_type
feature is added, lvm will allow VGs with lock_type to be
used according to the rules imposed by the lock_type.

When both system_id and lock_type settings are removed, a VG
is written with the old WRITE status flag, and without the
new WRITE_LOCKED flag.  This allows old versions of lvm to
use the VG as before.

190d591fbe report: fix seg_monitor field to display monitoring status for thick snapshots and mirrors
The seg_monitor did not display monitored status for thick snapshots
and mirrors (with mirror log *not* mirrored). The seg monitor did work
correctly even before for other segtypes - thins and raids.

bfbb5d269a systemid: Add ACCESS_NEEDS_SYSTEM_ID VG flag.
Set ACCESS_NEEDS_SYSTEM_ID VG status flag whenever there is
a non-lvm1 system_id set.  Prevents concurrent access from

eeaf3f2e88 metadata: vg: add missing vg->lvm1_system_id initialization
The vg->lvm1_systemd_id needs to be initialized as all the code around
counts with that. Just like we initialize lvm1_system_id in vg_create
(no matter if it's actually LVM1 or LVM2 format), this patch adds this
init in alloc_vg as well so the rest of the code does not segfaul
 when trying to access vg->lvm1_system_id.

dd6a202831 lvchange: deactivate is always possible in foreign vgs
The only realistic way for a host to have active LVs in a
foreign VG is if the host's system_id (or system_id_source)
is changed while LVs are active.

In this case, the active LVs produce an warning, and access
to the VG is implicitly allowed (without requiring --foreign.)
This allows the active LVs to be deactivated.

In this case, rescanning PVs for the VG offers no benefit.
It is not possible that rescanning would reveal an LV that
is active but wasn't previously in the VG metadata.

dd0ee35378 cmirror: Adjust region size to work around CPG msg limit to avoid hang.
cmirror uses the CPG library to pass messages around the cluster and maintain
its bitmaps.  When a cluster mirror starts-up, it must send the current state
to any joining members - a checkpoint.  When mirrors are large (or the region
size is small), the bitmap size can exceed the message limit of the CPG
library.  When this happens, the CPG library returns CPG_ERR_TRY_AGAIN.
(This is also a bug in CPG, since the message will never be successfully sent.)

There is an outstanding bug (bug 682771) that is meant to lift this message
length restriction in CPG, but for now we work around the issue by increasing
the mirror region size.  This limits the size of the bitmap and avoids any
issues we would otherwise have around checkpointing.

Since this issue only affects cluster mirrors, the region size adjustments
are only made on cluster mirrors.  This patch handles cluster mirror issues
involving pvmove, lvconvert (from linear to mirror), and lvcreate.  It also
ensures that when users convert a VG from single-machine to clustered, any
mirrors with too many regions (i.e. a bitmap that would be too large to
properly checkpoint) are trapped.

8668a9e81c systemid: silently ignore foreign vgs unless named
A foreign VG should be silently ignored by a reporting/display
command like 'vgs'.  If the reporting/display command specifies
a foreign VG by name on the command line, it should produce an
error message.

Scanning commands pvscan/vgscan/lvscan are always allowed to
read and update caches from all PVs, including those that belong
to foreign VGs.

Other non-report/display/scan commands always ignore a foreign
VG, or report an error if they attempt to use a foreign VG.

vgimport should always invalidate the lvmetad cache because
lvmetad likely holds a pre-vgexported copy of the VG.
(This is unrelated to using foreign VGs; the pre-vgexported
VG may have had no system_id at all.)

b18feb98e5 systemid: Fix access restrictions.
When checking whether the system ID permits access to a VG, check for
each permitted situation first, and only then issue the appropriate
error message.  Always issue a message for now.  (We'll try to
suppress some of those later when the VG concerned wasn't explicitly
requested.)
Add more messages to try to ensure every return code is checked and
every error path (and only an error path) contains a log_error().
Add self-correction to vgchange -c to deal with situations where
the cluster state and system ID state are out-of-sync (e.g. if
old tools were used).

ed420fb691 pvcreate: switch to "none" dev-ext source during pvcreate
The dev ext source must be reset for the dev_cache_get call
(which evaluates filters), not lvmcache_label_scan - so fix
original commit 727c7ff85d.

Also, add comments in _pvcreate_check fn explaining why
refresh filter and rescan is needed and exactly in which
situations.

6b4066585f filters: no need to refresh filters/rescan if no signature is wiped during pvcreate at all
Before, we refreshed filters and we did full rescan of devices if
we passed through wiping (wipe_known_signatures fn call). However,
this fn returns success even if no signatures were found and so
nothing was wiped. In this case, it's not necessary to do the
filter refresh/rescan of devices as nothing changed clearly.

This patch exports number of wiped signatures from all the
wiping functions below. The caller (_pvcreate_check) then checks
whether any wiping was done at all and if not, no refresh/rescan
is done, saving some time and resources.

727c7ff85d pvcreate: switch to "none" dev-ext source during pvcreate
pvcreate code path executes signature wiping if there are any signatures
found on device to prepare the device for PV. When the signature is wiped,
the WATCH udev rule triggers the event which then updates udev database
with fresh info, clearing the old record about previous signature.

However, when we're using udev db as dev-ext source, we'd need to wait
for this WATCH-triggered event. But we can't synchronize against such
events (at least not at this moment). Without this sync, if the code
continues, the device could still be marked as containing the old
signature if reading udev db. This may end up even with the device
to be still filtered, though the signature is already wiped.

This problem is then exposed as (an example with md components):

$  mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda /dev/sdb --run
$  mdadm -S /dev/md0
$  pvcreate -y /dev/sda
Wiping linux_raid_member signature on /dev/sda.
/dev/sda: Couldn't find device.  Check your filters?
$ echo $?
5

So we need to temporarily switch off "udev" dev-ext source here
in this part of pvcreate code until we find a way how to sync
with WATCH events.

(This problem does not occur with signature wiping which we do
on newly created LVs since we already handle this properly with
our udev flags - the LV_NOSCAN/LV_TEMPORARY flag. But we can't use
this technique for non-dm devices to keep WATCH rule under control.)

531cc58d89 lvm2app: fix lvm_lv_get_attr regression causing unknown values
This is a regression from v115 where some of the fields/properties
were converted to using the common "struct lvinfo" and
"struct lv_seg_status" so we don't need to issue info and status
ioctl several times per one reported line. Not all fields are
converted yet, but one that *is* converted is the lv_attr field
with the lv_attr_dup counterpart used in lvm_lv_get_attr lvm2app fn.

These changes were introduced with e34b004422
and later - this patch introduced the "info_ok" field in the
lv_with_info_and_seg_status structure which encapsulates the lvinfo
and lv_seg_status struct.

For the lv_attr_dup, the lv_attr_dup code  missed the
assignment for the "info_ok" flag which saves the result of the
lv_info_with_seg_status call. Hence such info was marked
as unusable - unknown and it was returned as such via lvm_lv_get_attr
lvm2app fn.

302b6c99a7 raid_manip: v2 fix multi-segment misallocation on 'lvconvert --repair'
The previous patch felt short WRT disabling allocation on PVs holding other
legs of the RAID LV persistently; this patch introduces an internal,
transient PV flag PV_ALLOCATION_PROHIBITED to address this very problem.

General problem description for completeness:

An 'lvconvert --repair $RAID_LV" to replace a failed leg of a multi-segment
RAID10/4/5/6 logical volume can lead to allocation of (parts of) the replacement
image component pair on the physical volume of another image component
(e.g. image 0 allocated on the same PV as image 1 silently impeding resilience).

Patch fixes this severe resilince issue by prohibiting allocation on PVs
already holding other legs of the RAID set. It allows to allocate free space
on any operational PV already holding parts of the image component pair.

fb7e2ff493 metadata: add "Failed to write VG <vg_name>." on failed vg_write and revert previous patch
Better than previous patch which changed log_warn to log_error -
we can have multiple MDAs and if one of them fails to be written,
we can still continue with other MDAs if we're in a mode where
we can handle missing PVs - so keep the log_warn for single
failed MDA write as it was before.

However, add log_error with "Failed to write VG <vg_name>." in
case we're not handling missing PVs or no MDA was written at all
during VG write process. This also prevents an internal error in
which the vg_write fails and we're not issuing any other log_error
in vg_write caller or above, so we end up with:
  "Internal error: Failed command did not use log_error".

$ lvcreate -l1 -m1 --type mirror vg
  Logical volume "lvol0" created.
$ lvconvert --type raid1 vg/lvol0

Before:
$ lvs -a vg
  LV                        VG     Active Attr       LSize   Cpy%Sync Layout     Role
  lvol0                     vg     active rwi-a-r---   4.00m 100.00   raid,raid1 public
  [lvol0_mimage_0_rimage_0] vg     active iwi-aor---   4.00m          linear     private,raid,image
  [lvol0_mimage_1_rimage_1] vg     active iwi-aor---   4.00m          linear     private,raid,image
  [lvol0_rmeta_0]           vg     active ewi-aor---   4.00m          linear     private,raid,metadata
  [lvol0_rmeta_1]           vg     active ewi-aor---   4.00m          linear     private,raid,metadata

Incorrect name: lvol0_mimage_0_rimage_0

With this patch applied:
$ lvs -a vg
  LV               VG   Active Attr       LSize Cpy%Sync Layout     Role
  lvol0            vg   active rwi-a-r--- 4.00m 100.00   raid,raid1 public
  [lvol0_rimage_0] vg   active iwi-aor--- 4.00m          linear     private,raid,image
  [lvol0_rimage_1] vg   active iwi-aor--- 4.00m          linear     private,raid,image
  [lvol0_rmeta_0]  vg   active ewi-aor--- 4.00m          linear     private,raid,metadata
  [lvol0_rmeta_1]  vg   active ewi-aor--- 4.00m          linear     private,raid,metadata

Proper name: lvol0_rimage_0

ff1eca3b6f mirror: do not try to reactivate inactive mirror when removing its LVs which have missing PVs
When mirror has missing PVs and there are mirror images on those missing
PVs, we delete the images and during this delete operation, we also
reactivate the LV. But if we're trying to reactivate the LV in cluster
which is not active and at the same time cmirrord is not running (which
is OK since we may have created the mirror LV as inactive), we end up
with:
  "Error locking on node <node_name>: Shared cluster mirrors are not available."

That is because we're trying to activate the mirror LV without cmirrord.
However, there's no need to do this reactivation if the mirror LV (and
hence it's sub LVs) were not activated before.

This issue caused failure in mirror-vgreduce-removemissing.sh test
recently with this sequence (excerpt from the test script):

  prepare_lvs_
  lvcreate -an -Zn -l2 --type mirror -m1 --nosync -n $lv1 $vg "$dev1" $dev2" "$dev3":$BLOCKS
  mimages_are_on_ $lv1 "$dev1" "$dev2"
  mirrorlog_is_on_ $lv1 "$dev3"
  aux disable_dev "$dev2"
  vgreduce --removemissing --force $vg

The important thing about that test is that we're not running cmirrord,
we're activating the mirror with "-an" so it's inactive and then
vgreduce --removemissing tries to reactivate the mirror images
as part of the _delete_lv function call inside and since cmirrord
is not running, we end up with the "Shared cluster mirrors are not
available." error.

509650ec4c cmirror: do not check for cmirror availability when creating deactivated cluster mirrors
When creating cluster mirrors while they're not supposed to be activated
immediately after creation, we don't need to check for cmirrord availability.
We can just create these mirrors and let the check to be done on activation
later on. This is addendum for commit cba6186325.

cba6186325 cmirror: check for cmirror availability during cluster mirror creation and activation
When creating/activating clustered mirrors, we should have cmirrord
available and running. If it's not, we ended up with rather cryptic
errors like:

$ lvcreate -l1 -m1 --type mirror vg
  Error locking on node 1: device-mapper: reload ioctl on  failed: Invalid argument
  Failed to activate new LV.

$ vgchange -ay vg
  Error locking on node node 1: device-mapper: reload ioctl on failed: Invalid argument

This patch adds check for cmirror availability and it errors out
properly, also giving a more precise error messge so users are able
to identify the source of the problem easily:

$ lvcreate -l1 -m1 --type mirror vg
  Shared cluster mirrors are not available.

$ vgchange -ay vg
  Error locking on node 1: Shared cluster mirrors are not available.

Exclusively activated cluster mirror LVs are OK even without cmirrord:

$ vgchange -aey vg
  1 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg" now active
