Use a new form of hints to reduce device scanning in
vgchange -aay run by the udev rule for event based
autoactivation.
Standard hints allow a command with a named VG arg to scan
only the PVs in the named VG, rather than scanning all
available PVs. Standard hints are useful with a stable set
of system devices. When new devices are arriving, as occurs
during system startup, the hints are repeatedly invalidated,
which makes standard hints unhelpful while devices are
regularly appearing. This is the situation in which
vgchange -aay is used, so standard hints are not generally
helpful for autoactivation.
In the context of system startup, pvscan --cache is keeping
track of available PVs using the pvs_online files, similar
to what the hints file does for a running system. Given this,
a new hint mode, hints = "pvs_online", is added which derives
an equivalent to standard hints, based on pvs_online files
that are being created by udev-run pvscans. This hint mode
is useful while devices are appearing, e.g. during system
startup, and vgchange -aay can benefit from it.
pvscan --cache -aay autoactivation already has a similar
optimization (the "quick" activation case) that is based
on the pvs_online file, but it is not implemented as a
form of hints.
This new form of hints is mainly useful in the context of
event based autoactivation, during which standard hints are
not useful. Once the system is in a steady state after startup
(devices are not regularly appearing), the standard hints are
most useful. The pvs_online hint method could be used on a
running system, but would be no better than standard hints,
and may be inferior because pvs_online files are not rigidly
updated after system startup.
