On conversion from striped to raid0, data LVs are created
and all segments and their respective areas of the striped
LV are moved across to new segments allocated for the raid0
image LVs. This can cause non-canonical segments to be added
to the image LVs.
Add a call to lv_merge_segments() once all segments have been
added to an image LV to compensate for that. This avoids
unsafe table loads on activation.
dmeventd: (workaround) fix mirror DSO to work with lvmetad
Automatic dmeventd repair of mirrors with active lvmetad configured
(mirror_image_fault_policy = "allocate") fails because the lvscan
run before the repair in the mirror DSO does not update the
lvmetad cache properly thus "lvconvert --repair ..." fails.
Need to scan the mirror LV before and after the repair
to have proper cache content after the repair finished.
The cache can't be relied on or the repair will fail.

dmstats: start dmfilemapd when creating or updating file maps
Launch an instance of the filemap monitoring daemon when creating,
or updating, a file mapped group, unless the --nomonitor switch is
given.
Unless --foreground is given the daemon will detach from the
terminal and run in the background until it is signaled or the
daemon termination conditions are met.
The --follow={inode|path} switch is added to control the daemon
behaviour when files are moved, unlinked, or renamed while they
are being monitored.
The daemon runs with the same verbosity as the dmstats command
that starts it.

daemons: add dmfilemapd
Add a daemon that can be launched to monitor a group of regions
corresponding to the extents of a file, and to update the regions as the
file's allocation changes.
The daemon is intended to be started from a library interface, but can
also be run from the command line:
Where fd is a file descriptor open on the mapped file, group_id is the
group identifier of the mapped group and mode is either "inode" or
"path". E.g.:
# dmfilemapd 3 0 vm.img inode 1 3 3<vm.img
...
If foreground is non-zero, the daemon will not fork to run in the
background. If verbose is non-zero, libdm and daemon log messages will
be printed.
It is possible for the group identifier to change when regions are
re-mapped: this occurs when the group leader is deleted (regroup=1 in
dm_stats_update_regions_from_fd()), and another region is created before
the daemon has a chance to recreate the leader region.
The operation is inherently racey since there is currently no way to
atomically move or resize a dm_stats region while retaining its
region_id.
Detect this condition and update the group_id value stored in the
filemap monitor.
A function is also provided in the the stats API to launch the filemap
monitoring daemon:
This carries out the first fork and execs dmfilemapd with the arguments
specified.
A dm_filemapd_mode_t value is specified by the mode argument: either
DM_FILEMAPD_FOLLOW_INODE, or DM_FILEMAPD_FOLLOW_PATH. A helper function,
dm_filemapd_mode_from_string(), is provided to parse a string containing
a valid mode name into the appropriate dm_filemapd_mode_t value.
lvconvert: prompt when splitting off a tracked LV of a 2-legged raid1 LV
Splitting off an image LV of a 2-legged raid1 LV tracking changes
causes loosing partial resilience for any newly written data set.
Full resilience will be provided again after the split off image LV
got merged back in and the new data set got fully synchronized.
Reason being that the data is only stored on the remaining single
writable image during the split.
Ask user to avoid uninformed loss of such partial resilience.

Reshaping a raid5 LV to one stripe aiming to convert it to
raid1 (and optionally to linear) reports the wrong LV size

The lv_extend/_lv_reduce API doesn't cope with resizing RaidLVs

resizing during conversions and remove the reshape space before
processing resize. Add missing seg->data_copies initialisation.
For the time being raid10 is limited to even number of total stripes
as is and 2 data copies. The number of stripes provided on creation
of a raid10(_near) LV with -i/--stripes gets doubled to define
that even total number of stripes (i.e. images).
Apply the same on disk adding conversions (reshapes) with
"lvconvert --stripes RaidLV" (e.g. 2 stripes = 4 images
total converted to 3 stripes = 6 images total).

lvcreate/lvresize: the --size option accepts signed values
There was confusion in the code about whether or not the
--size option accepted a sign. Make it consistent and clear
that it does.
This exposes a new problem in that an option can only
accept one value type, e.g. --size can only accept a
signed number, it cannot accept a positive or negative
number for some commands and reject negative numbers for
others.
In practice, lvcreate accepts only positive --size
values and lvresize accepts positive or negative --size
values. There is currently no way to encode this
difference. Until that is fixed, the man page output
is hacked to avoid printing the [+|-] prefix for sizes
in lvcreate.
Settings specified in other command line args take precedence over
profiles and --config, which takes precedence over settings in actual
config files.
Since commit 1e2420bca85da9a37570871cd70192e9ae831786 ('commands: new
method for defining commands') commands like this:
lvchange --config 'global/test=1' -ay vg
have been printing the 'TEST MODE' message, but nevertheless making
real changes.
During an ongoing reshape, the MD kernel runtime reads stripes relative
to data_offset and starts storing the reshaped stripes (with new raid
layout and/or new stripesize and/or new number of stripes) relative
to new_data_offset. This is to avoid writing over any data in place
which is non-atomic by nature and thus be recoverable without data loss
in the transition. MD uses the term out-of-place reshaping for it.
There's 2 other areas we don't have report capability for:
- number of data stripes vs. total stripes
(e.g. raid6 with 7 stripes toal has 5 data stripes)
- number of (rotating) parity/syndrome chunks
(e.g. raid6 with 7 stripes toal has 2 parity chunks; one
per stripe for P-Syndrome and another one for Q-Syndrome)
Thus, add the following reportable keys:
- reshape_len (in current units)
- reshape_len_le (in logical extents)
- data_offset (in sectors)
- new_data_offset ( " )
- data_stripes
- parity_chunks

lvconvert: libdm RAID API compatibility versioning
Commit 27384c52cf6a lowered the maximum number of devices
back to 64 for compatibility.
Because more members have been added to the API in
'struct dm_tree_node_raid_params *', we have to version
the public libdm RAID API to not break any existing users.
Changes:
- keep the previous 'struct dm_tree_node_raid_params' and
dm_tree_node_add_raid_target_with_params()/dm_tree_node_add_raid_target()
in order to expose the already released public RAID API
- introduce 'struct dm_tree_node_raid_params_v2' and additional functions
dm_tree_node_add_raid_target_with_params_v2()/dm_tree_node_add_raid_target_v2()
to be used by the new lvm2 lib reshape extentions
With this new API, the bitfields for rebuild/writemostly legs in
'struct dm_tree_node_raid_params_v2' can be raised to 256 bits
again (253 legs maximum supported in MD kernel).
Mind that we can limit the maximum usable number via the
DEFAULT_RAID{1}_MAX_IMAGES definition in defaults.h.

unnecessarilly for the time being.
