vdo: avoid running initialization of cache pool vars
Since VDO is also pool, the old if() case missed to know about this,
and executed unnecesserily initialization of cache pool variables.
This was usually harmless when using 'smaller' sizes of VDO pools,
but for big VDO pool size, we were reporting senseless messages
about big cache chunk sizes.

raid: disallow reshape of stacked LVs
Until we resolve reshape for 'stacked' devices, we need to disable it.
So users can no longer reshape i.e. thin-pool data volumes, causing
ATM bad thin-pool problems.
This uses the metadata input file to find the PV UUID,
device size, and data offset.
To write new/repaired metadata text and mda_header:
pvck --repairtype metadata --file <file> <device>
This requires a good pv_header which points to one or two
metadata areas. Any metadata areas referenced by the
pv_header are updated with the specified metadata and
a new mda_header. "--settings mda_num=1|2" can be used
to select one mda to repair.
To combine all header and metadata repairs:
pvck --repair --file <file> <device>
It's best to use a raw metadata file as input, that was
extracted from another PV in the same VG (or from another
metadata area on the same PV.) pvck will also accept a
metadata backup file, but that will produce metadata that
is not identical to other metadata copies on other PVs
and other areas. So, when using a backup file, consider
using it to update metadata on all PVs/areas.
To get a raw metadata file to use for the repair, see
pvck --dump metadata|metadata_search.
List all instances of metadata from the metadata area:
pvck --dump metadata_search <device>
Save one instance of metadata at the given offset to
the specified file (this file can be used for repair):

scanning: optimize by checking text offset and checksum
After the VG lock is taken for vg_read, reread the mda_header
and compare the metadata text offset and checksum to what was
seen during label scan. If it is unchanged, then the metadata
has not changed since the label scan, and the metadata does not
need to be reread under the lock for command processing.
For commands that do not make changes (e.g. reporting), the
mda_header is reread and checked on one mda to decide if the
full metadata rereading can be skipped. For other commands
(e.g. modifying the vg) the mda_header is reread and checked
from all PVs. (These could probably just check one mda also.)
lvcreate: ensure striped raid region size is at least stripe size
The kernel MD runtime requires region size to be larger than stripe size
on striped raid layouts, thus the dm-raid target's constructor rejects
such request.
This causes e.g. an 'lvcreate --type raid10 -i3 -I4096 -R2048 -n lv vg' to fail.
Avoid failing late in the kernel by enforcing region size to be
larger or equal to stripe size.

pvcreate,pvremove: fix reacquiring global lock after prompt
When pvcreate/pvremove prompt the user, they first release
the global lock, then acquire it again after the prompt,
to avoid blocking other commands while waiting for a user
response. This release/reacquire changes the locking
order with respect to the hints flock (and potentially other
locks). So, to avoid deadlock, use a nonblocking request
when reacquiring the global lock.

lvs: disable scanning optimization
The scanning optimization can produce warnings from
'lvs' when run concurrently with commands modifying LVs,
so disable the optimization until it can be improved.
Without the scanning optimization, lvs will always
read all PVs twice:
1. read metadata from all PVs, saving it in memory
2. for each VG
3. lock VG
4. reread metadata from all PVs in VG, replacing metadata
saved from step 1
5. run command on VG
6. unlock VG
The optimization would usually cause step 4 to be skipped,
and PVs would be read only once.
Running the command in step 5 using metadata that was not
read under the VG lock is usually fine, except for the
fact that lvs attempts to validate the metadata by comparing
it to current dm state. If other commands are modifying dm
state while lvs is running, lvs may see differences between
metadata from step 1 and dm state checked during step 5,
and print warnings.
(A better fix may be to detect the concurrent change and
fall back to rereading metadata in step 4 only when needed.)

fix dev_unset_last_byte after write error
dev_unset_last_byte() must be called while the fd is still valid.
After a write error, dev_unset_last_byte() must be called before
closing the dev and resetting the fd.
In the write error path, dev_unset_last_byte() was being called
after label_scan_invalidate() which meant that it would not unset
the last_byte values.
After a write error, dev_unset_last_byte() is now called in
dev_write_bytes() before label_scan_invalidate(), instead of by
the caller of dev_write_bytes().
In the common case of a successful write, the sequence is still:
dev_set_last_byte(); dev_write_bytes(); dev_unset_last_byte();
