config: remove duplication of settings
The specific config settings have been removed
from the lvm.conf(5) man page, and replaced with
a description of how to use lvm dumpconfig to
view the settings.
The sample lvm.conf and lvmlocal.conf files are now generated:
example.conf.base - initial ungenerated part of the file
example.conf.gen - generated portion from dumpconfig
example.conf.in - combination of .base and .gen files
example.conf - result of configure processing .in file
lvmlocal.conf.base - initial ungenerated part of the file
lvmlocal.conf.gen - generated portion from dumpconfig
lvmlocal.conf.in - combination of .base and .gen files
lvmlocal.conf - result of configure processing .in file
Do not edit the .in files, but edit config_settings.h
or the .base files, and then use 'make generate' to create
the new .in files.

toollib: fix duplicate handling in process_each_pv
With use_lvmetad=0, duplicate PVs /dev/loop0 and /dev/loop1,
where in this example, /dev/loop1 is the cached device
referenced by pv->dev, the command 'pvs /dev/loop0' reports:
Failed to find physical volume "/dev/loop0".
This is because the duplicate PV detection by pvid is
not working because _get_all_devices() is not setting
any dev->pvid for any entries. This is because the
pvid information has not yet been saved in lvmcache.
This is fixed by calling _get_vgnameids_on_system()
before _get_all_devices(), which has the effect of
caching the necessary pvid information.
With this fix, running pvs /dev/loop0, or pvs /dev/loop1,
produces no error and one line of output for the PV (the
device printed is the one cached in pv->dev, in this
example /dev/loop1.)
Running 'pvs /dev/loop0 /dev/loop1' produces no error
and two lines of output, with each device displayed
on one of the lines.
Running 'pvs -a' shows two PVs, one with loop0 and one
with loop1, and both shown as a member of the same VG.
Running 'pvs' shows only one of the duplicate PVs,
and that shows the device cached in pv->dev (loop1).
The above output is what the duplicate handling code
was previously designed to output in commits:
b64da4d8b521 toollib: search for duplicate PVs only when needed 3a7c47af0e88 toollib: pvs -a should display VG name for each duplicate PV 57d74a45a05e toollib: override the PV device with duplicates c1f246fedfc3 toollib: handle duplicate pvs in process_in_pv
As a further step after this, we may choose to change
some of those.
For all of these commands, a warning is printed about
the existence of the duplicate PVs:
Found duplicate PV ...: using /dev/loop1 not /dev/loop0
Enhance 'not' to manage autodeletion of log files in right cases.
Use separately marked epoch log files for clvmd and dmeventd.

lvmetad: Track alternate devices for PVs.
There are two reasons for this: first, this allows the client side to notice
that some PV has multiple devices associated with it and print appropriate
warnings. Second, if a duplicate device pops up and disappears, after this
change the original connection between the PV and device is not lost.

blkdeactivate: check for lvm binary and skip LVM processing if not present
This removes dependency on lvm binary - if it's not present, all LVM
processing is skipped (shouldn't normally happen because if lvm binary
is missing then there's obviously nothing that would activate it, but
let's make sure).
Without this tight dependency on lvm, the blkdeactivate script can
be packaged with libdevmapper/dmsetup (in contrast to lvm as it was
before) and as such the script can still be used to handle other DM
devices.

toollib: do not spawn polling in lv_change_activate
spawning a background polling from within the lv_change_activate
fn went to two problems:
1) vgchange should not spawn any background polling until after
the whole activation process for a VG is finished. Otherwise
it could lead to a duplicite request for spawning background
polling. This statement was alredy true with one exception of
mirror up-conversion polling (fixed by this commit).
2) due to current conditions in lv_change_activate lvchange cmd
couldn't start background polling for pvmove LVs if such LV was
about to get activated by the command in the same time.
This commit however doesn't alter the lvchange cmd so that it works same as
vgchange with regard to not to spawn duplicate background pollings per
unique LV.

lvmconf: add --enable-halvm, --disable-halvm, --services, --mirrorservice, --startstopservices options and use proper global/use_lvmetad default value
This patch adds new options to lvmconf:
--enable-halvm (just like --enable-cluster, but configure LVM
for use in HA LVM - meaning disabling lvmetad and
making sure we have locking_type=1)
--disable-halvm (just like --disable-cluster, but configure LVM
back from HA LVM - meaning enabling lvmetad if
it's enabled by default and making sure we have
default locking type set)
--services (causes clvmd and lvmetad services to be enabled or
disabled appropriately and conforming to the changes
in lvm configuration we've just made with lvmconf)
--mirrorservice (in addition to clvmd and lvmetad services, also
enable or disable cmirrord service appropriately;
this is a separate option because cmirrord is
optional and it doesn't need to be always enabled
when clvmd is enabled)
--startstopservices (in addition to enabling or disabling services,
start and stop these services immediately)
These options are supposed to help users to make their system ready
for cluster with clvmd (active-active) or HA LVM (active-passive) use
while lvmconf script can handle services as well so users don't need
to bother about setting them manually.
Also, before this patch, we hardcoded global/use_lvmetad=0 as default
value in lvmconf script. Howeverm this default may change by just
flipping the value in config_settings.h and we may forget to edit
the lvmconf. It's better to use lvm dumpconfig --type default global/use_lvmetad
to get the actual default value and use this one instead of hardcoded one.
When performing initial allocation (so there is nothing yet to
cling to), use the list of tags in allocation/cling_tag_list to
partition the PVs. We implement this by maintaining a list of
tags that have been "used up" as we proceed and ignoring further
devices that have a tag on the list.
Add A_PARTITION_BY_TAGS set when allocated areas should not share tags
with each other and allow _match_pv_tags to accept an alternative list
of tags. (Not used yet.)

config: include full comments
Comments from the sample config files are copied into
the comment field of the config settings structure.
This includes only minimal changes to the text.
With this in place, the sample config files can
be generated from 'lvm dumpconfig', and content
for an lvm.conf man page can also be generated.
pv_write is called both to write orphans and to rewrite PV headers
of PVs in VGs. It needs to select the correct VG id so that the
internal cache state gets updated correctly.
It only affected commands that involved further steps after
the pv_write and was often masked because the metadata would
be re-read off disk and correct itself.
"Incorrect metadata area header checksum" warnings appeared.
Example:
Create vg1 containing dev1, dev2 and dev3.
Hide dev1 and dev2 from the system.
Fix up vg1 with vgreduce --removemissing.
Bring back dev1 and dev2.
In a single operation reinstate dev1 and dev2 into vg1 (vgextend).
Done as separate operations (automatically fix-up dev1 and dev2 as orphans,
then vgextend) it worked, but done all in one go the internal cache got
corrupted and warnings about checksum errors appeared.
When clvmd starts, it starts it's own command logging into debug.log.
This is interferring with our other command debug.log.
As as sideeffect we may experience log from command,
followed but lots of zeros and continued with clvmd log.
Fix it by renaming debug.log and now we could also print this trace
to get full list of clvmd activity nicely.
Also improve some post-mortem prints from udevadm and dmsetup to
make the output more usable.
Since now we have metadata parts running with normal speed,
we could avoid reinitilising delayed dev for every test.
(Saving seconds on cookie waits...)
If the device name is not found in our metadata,
we cannot call strdup few lines later with NULL name.
More intersting story goes behind how it happens -
pvmove removal is unfortunatelly 'multi-state' process
and at some point (for now) we have in lvm2 metadata
LV pvmove0 as stripe and mirror image as error.
If such metadata are left - we fail with any further removal.
