6a00a7e33d RAID: Allow implicit stripe (and parity) when creating RAID LVs
There are typically 2 functions for the more advanced segment types that
deal with parameters in lvcreate.c: _get_*_params() and _check_*_params().
(Not all segment types name their functions according to this scheme.)
The former function is responsible for reading parameters before the VG
has been read.  The latter is for sanity checking and possibly setting
parameters after the VG has been read.

This patch adds a _check_raid_parameters() function that will determine
if the user has specified 'stripe' or 'mirror' parameters.  If not, the
proper number is computed from the list of PVs the user has supplied or
the number that are available in the VG.  Now that _check_raid_parameters()
is available, we move the check for proper number of stripes from
_get_* to _check_*.

This gives the user the ability to create RAID LVs as follows:
# 5-device RAID5, 4-data, 1-parity (i.e. implicit '-i 4')
~> lvcreate --type raid5 -L 100G -n lv vg /dev/sd[abcde]1

# 5-device RAID6, 3-data, 2-parity (i.e. implicit '-i 3')
~> lvcreate --type raid6 -L 100G -n lv vg /dev/sd[abcde]1

# If 5 PVs in VG, 4-data, 1-parity RAID5
~> lvcreate --type raid5 -L 100G -n lv vg

Considerations:
This patch only affects RAID.  It might also be useful to apply this to
the 'stripe' segment type.  LVM RAID may include RAID0 at some point in
the future and the implicit stripes would apply there.  It would be odd
to have RAID0 be able to auto-determine the stripe count while 'stripe'
could not.

The only draw-back of this patch that I can see is that there might be
less error checking.  Rather than informing the user that they forgot
to supply an argument (e.g. '-i'), the value would be computed and it
may differ from what the user actually wanted.  I don't see this as a
problem, because the user can check the device count after creation
and remove the LV if they have made an error.

4b6e3b5e5e allocation: Allow approximate allocation when specifying size in percent
Introduce a new parameter called "approx_alloc" that is set when the
desired size of a new LV is specified in percentage terms.  If set,
the allocation code tries to get as much space as it can but does not
fail if can at least get some.

One of the practical implications is that users can now specify 100%FREE
when creating RAID LVs, like this:
~> lvcreate --type raid5 -i 2 -l 100%FREE -n lv vg

0912cf67aa cache: Ability to convert an existing LV into a cached LV
Users now have the ability to convert their existing logical volumes
into cached logical volumes.  A cache pool LV must be specified using
the '--cachepool' argument.  The cachepool is the small, fast LV used
to cache the large, slow LV that is being converted.

c8b6c4aee9 cachepool: Ability to convert existing LVs to cachepool type
This patch allows users to convert existing logical volumes into
cache pool LVs.  Since cache pool LVs consist of data and metadata
sub-LVs, there is also the '--poolmetadata' (similar to thin_pool)
which allows for the specification of the metadata device.

96626f64fa cache: Code to allow the create/remove of cache LVs
This patch allows users to create cache LVs with 'lvcreate'.  An origin
or a cache pool LV must be created first.  Then, while supplying the
origin or cache pool to the lvcreate command, the cache can be created.

Ex1:
Here the cache pool is created first, followed by the origin which will
be cached.
~> lvcreate --type cache_pool -L 500M -n cachepool vg /dev/small_n_fast
~> lvcreate --type cache -L 1G -n lv vg/cachepool /dev/large_n_slow

Ex2:
Here the origin is created first, followed by the cache pool - allowing
a cache LV to be created covering the origin.
~> lvcreate -L 1G -n lv vg /dev/large_n_slow
~> lvcreate --type cache -L 500M -n cachepool vg/lv /dev/small_n_fast

The code determines which type of LV was supplied (cache pool or origin)
by checking its type.  It ensures the right argument was given by ensuring
that the origin is larger than the cache pool.

If the user wants to remove just the cache for an LV.  They specify
the LV's associated cache pool when removing:
~> lvremove vg/cachepool

If the user wishes to remove the origin, but leave the cachepool to be
used for another LV, they specify the cache LV.
~> lvremove vg/lv

In order to remove it all, specify both LVs.

This patch also includes tests to create and remove cache pools and
cache LVs.

97be8b3482 cache: Code changes to allow creation of cache pools
This patch allows the creation and removal of cache pools.  Users are not
yet able to create cache LVs.  They are only able to define the space used
for the cache and its characteristics (chunk_size and cache mode ATM) by
creating the cache pool.

e9d9852c55 thin: more validation of thin name
Avoid starting conversion of the LV to the thin pool and thin volume
at the same time.  Since this is mostly a user mistake, do not try
to just convert to one of those type, since we cannot assume if the
user wanted LV to become thin volume or thin pool.

Before the fix tool reported pretty strange internal error:
Internal error: Referenced LV lvol1_tdata not listed in VG mvg.

Fixed output:
lvconvert --thinpool lvol0 -T mvg/lvol0
Can't use same LV mvg/lvol0 for thin pool and thin volume.

998af1a4fb Misc: Change name of lvcreate_params field - s/create_thin_pool/create_pool/

s/create_thin_pool/create_pool/.  This way it is not awkward when creating
a cachepool, for example, to use "create_thin_pool".

fe21b02fab cleanup: improve tag processing
Boolean algebra changes for process_each_lv_in_vg().

1st.
Drop process_lv variable since it's not needed.

2nd.
process_lv was always initilized to 0 - so the condition was always true.
It the condition (!tags_supplied && !lvargs_supplied) evaluates as "true",
process_all is already set to 1, so skip vg tags evaluation.

3rd.
Move check for matching lv name in the front of lv tags check
since this check can't be skipped for lvargs_matched counter.
If this filter evaluates to true, skip lv tags evaluation.

598c82fc07 vgchange: move detection of remote exlusivness
Since activation takes only read-lock, there could be
multiple activation running in parallel.

So instead of checking before taking any real lock,
let the locking resolve the problem and just
detect if the reason for failure has been remote
exlusive activation.

It should be also faster, since each activation does
not need to do explicit lock query.

729b104413 activation: continue with autoactivation if refresh fails
If the refresh fails for any reason before autoactivation, let's not
make this a stopper for autoactivation itself - just log the error
message if it appears.

The reason is that in some rare situations, we can still hit the
problem with the suspend call to fail (as already described in
commit d8085edf65, also
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1027314). The refresh
itself is done for only one reason - to refresh any dm tables
for LVs for which the underlying PVs got unplugged/disconnected
and then plugged/connected back (see also
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=954061 for more info).
In this case, the major:minor pair is changed and we need to
update dm tables for LVs accordingly.

Now if refresh fails, the error is still logged, but autoactivation
continues.

8d5cff5b9b lv/vgchange: do not try to connect to lvmetad if socket absent and --sysinit -aay used
If using lv/vgchange --sysinit -aay and lvmetad is enabled, we'd like to
avoid the direct activation and rely on autoactivation instead so
it fits system initialization scripts.

But if we're calling lv/vgchange --sysinit -aay too early when even
lvmetad service is not started yet, we just need to do the direct
activation instead without printing any error messages (while
trying to connect to lvmetad and not finding its socket).

This patch adds two helper functions - "lvmetad_socket_present" and
"lvmetad_used" which can be used to check for this condition properly
and avoid these lvmetad connections when the socket is not present
(and hence lvmetad is not yet running).
