More cleanup in udev rules:
- add copyright notice for 10-dm.rules.in,
- set DM_UDEV_DISABLE_{DISK, OTHER}_RULES_FLAG in 11-dm-lvm.rules directly
for inappropriate and non-top-level subdevices in case we use older kernels
where DM_COOKIE is not used (and therefore there are no flags passed from
the LVM process itself). This applies for older kernels (version < 2.6.31),
- remove unnecessary filters in 95-dm-notify.rules - the DM_COOKIE env var
itself is set for change/remove udev events and for DM devices only so
there's no need to double-check this.

Add vg_set_clustered() - move logic from vgchange.
Similar to other vg_set_* functions, we create a vg_set_clustered() function
which does a few checks and sets a flag. This is where we check for
any limitations of clusters.

Recognise DRBD device part and handle it similar to MD devices.
The DRBD uses underlying device so code should prefer top
device if duplicate is found.
Patch also introduce
dev_subsystem_part_major and dev_subsytem_name

and not hardcode md_major call.

Several changes to udev support code:
- we have these levels when the udev rules are processed:
10-dm.rules --> [11-dm-<subsystem>.rules] --> [12-dm-permissions.rules] -->
13-dm-disk.rules --> [...all the other foreign rules...] --> 95-dm-notify.rules
- each level can be disabled now by
DM_UDEV_DISABLE_{DM, SUBSYSTEM, DISK, OTHER}_RULES_FLAG
- add DM_UDEV_DISABLE_DM_RULES_FLAG to disable 10-dm.rules
- add DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES_FLAG to disable all the other (non-dm) rules.
We cutoff these rules by using the 'last_rule', so this one should really be
used with great care and in well-founded situations. We use this for lvm's
hidden and layer devices now.
- add a parameter for add_dev_node, rm_dev_node and rename_dev_node so it's
possible to switch on/off udev checks
- use DM_UDEV_DISABLE_DM_RULES_FLAG and DM_UDEV_DISABLE_SUBSYSTEM_RULES_FLAG
if there's no cookie set and we have resume, remove and rename ioctl.
This could happen when someone uses the libdevmapper that is compiled with
udev_sync but the software does not make use of it. This way we can switch
off the rules and fallback to libdevmapper node creation so there's no
udev/libdevmapper race.

Use udev flags in the rules and cleanup the rules:
- remove default permissions set in 95-dm-notify.rules (and add a hint in 12-dm-permissions.rules to set it by the user directly)
- add multipath DM_ACTION=="PATH_FAILED" filter
- remove unnecessary filters in the headers of the rules (we can simply use DM_UDEV_RULES_VSN instead)
- fix symlink priorities in /dev/disk/ (snapshot volumes have low priority for FS UUID symlinks so it will not overwrite symlinks for the origin)
I saw this in a bug report:
[root@xxxx-01 ~]# lvconvert -m 1 --corelog VG/cmirror
Unable to convert the log of inactive cluster mirror cmirror
I've tried to clean-up the message a little more, so the name
of the mirror stands out more while preserving the sense that
it's not a problem with the specific device, but the fact that
it is inactive that is causing the problem.
New msg:
Unable to convert the log of an inactive cluster mirror, cmirror
configure.in: don't set default file owner and group
Per discussion on lvm-devel mailing list and part of debian patch set,
don't set defaults for owner and group, since nobody seems to use them, and
still allow override.
Add --pvmetadatacopies as a synonym for --metadatacopies in various commands.
Going forward, we would like to allow users to specify the total
number of metadatacopies in a VG rather than on a per-PV basis. In
order to facilitate that, introduce --pvmetadatacopes to replace
--metadatacopies everywhere. We still allow --metadatacopies for
pv commands, but require --pvmetadatacopies for vg commands.
Eventually we will introduce --vgmetadatacopies. Once we do that,
we should either deprecate --metadatacopies or make it a synonym based
on the command (pvmetadatacopies for pv commands, and vgmetadatacopies
for vg commands). The latter option would likely just require a simple
'strncpy' check against cmd->command->name to qualify the merge_synonym
call.
Update nightly tests to cover the pvmetadatacopies synonym.
Note that this patch is the result of an eariler review comment for
the implicit pvcreate patches. Should apply cleanly on top of the
implicit pvcreate patches (I applied after patch 10/10 in that series).
NOTE: This patch will require --pvmetadatacopies for vgconvert as
--metadatacopies is no longer accepted.

Update vgcreate and vgextend man pages to clarify implicit pvcreate.
vgcreate and vgextend now implicitly call pvcreate on devices not
currently initialized for LVM use. Previously these commands would
fail with an error, so clarify the new behavior in the man page.
Add implicit pvcreate support to vgcreate and vgextend.
Adds implicit pvcreate support when calling vgcreate or vgextend with
device paths that are not yet PVs. This changes the behavior of vgcreate
and vgextend from failing with an error message to implicitly pvcreating.
Refactor pvcreate - split pvcreate_validate_params into recovery/non-recovery.
Split pvcreate_validate_params into recovery and non-recovery parameters.
This is necessary so we can call the non-recovery validate function from
vgextend / vgcreate. Note in the pvcreate tool case, we must call the
recovery validation function first (see treatment of pe_start and --zero),
and that we add a call to fill_default_pvcreate_params before the validation
functions.
Allow calling fill_default_pvcreate_params from tools.
We need defaults for pvcreate_params at a higher level - this will
allow us to use a common function from the tools to take defaults,
then fill in any non-defaults from the commandline.
Future patches will refactor vgcreate/vgextend to call this function
if one or more pvcreate parameters are given on the commandline.
Another refactoring for implicit pvcreate support. We need to get
the pvcreate parameters somehow to the vg_extend routine. Options
seemed to be:
1. Attach the parameters to struct volume_group. I personally
did not like this idea in most cases, though one could make an
agrument why it might be ok at least for some of the parameters
(e.g. metadatacopies).
2. Pass them in to the extend routine. This second route seemed
to be the best approach given the constraints.
Future patches will parse the command line and fill in the actual
values for the pvcreate_single call.
Should be no functional change.
Should be no functional change. If this parameter is set to NULL, just fail
the extend if the device is not already a PV. If non-NULL, try pvcreate_single
before failing. Note that pvcreate_single() handles the log_error in case
of failure so we just return 0 if pvcreate_single() fails.
Stop clvmd from automatically doing lock conversions. Now, if a lock
is granted at one mode and an attempt to convert it wthout the LCK_CONVERT
flag set then it will return errno=EBUSY.
This fixes a pretty bad bug in which an LV could be activated exclusively on
one node and lvchange -ay on another would convert it to shared!
It might break some things in other areas, but I doubt it.

Update nightly tests to deal with unit changes.
Now uppercase letters imply Si units, so use lowercase everywhere.
We could stay with uppercase, but then we'd have to deal with rounding, etc.
Also, some output / error messages change slightly (instead of "GB" we're
now saying "GiB").
One test enhancement might be to add some new tests for the units changes
but for now let's just get the test back to passing.
Add global/si_unit_consistency to enable cleaned-up use of units in output.
Add configure --enable-units-compat to set si_unit_consistency off by default.
Use standard output units for 'PE Size' and 'Stripe size' in pv/lvdisplay.
'_emit_areas_line' returns 1 for success and 0 for failure. This always
confuses me, so I've added a comment at the top of the function to
remind me of this.
I also found that 'mirror_emit_segment_line' was returning 0 (return_0)
on failure /and/ success. It now returns 1 for success and 0 for failure -
just like '_emit_areas_line' and its calling function, '_emit_segment_line'.
