lvchange: deactivate is always possible in foreign vgs
The only realistic way for a host to have active LVs in a
foreign VG is if the host's system_id (or system_id_source)
is changed while LVs are active.
In this case, the active LVs produce an warning, and access
to the VG is implicitly allowed (without requiring --foreign.)
This allows the active LVs to be deactivated.
In this case, rescanning PVs for the VG offers no benefit.
It is not possible that rescanning would reveal an LV that
is active but wasn't previously in the VG metadata.

cmirror: Adjust region size to work around CPG msg limit to avoid hang.
cmirror uses the CPG library to pass messages around the cluster and maintain
its bitmaps. When a cluster mirror starts-up, it must send the current state
to any joining members - a checkpoint. When mirrors are large (or the region
size is small), the bitmap size can exceed the message limit of the CPG
library. When this happens, the CPG library returns CPG_ERR_TRY_AGAIN.
(This is also a bug in CPG, since the message will never be successfully sent.)
There is an outstanding bug (bug 682771) that is meant to lift this message
length restriction in CPG, but for now we work around the issue by increasing
the mirror region size. This limits the size of the bitmap and avoids any
issues we would otherwise have around checkpointing.
Since this issue only affects cluster mirrors, the region size adjustments
are only made on cluster mirrors. This patch handles cluster mirror issues
involving pvmove, lvconvert (from linear to mirror), and lvcreate. It also
ensures that when users convert a VG from single-machine to clustered, any
mirrors with too many regions (i.e. a bitmap that would be too large to
properly checkpoint) are trapped.

systemid: silently ignore foreign vgs unless named
A foreign VG should be silently ignored by a reporting/display
command like 'vgs'. If the reporting/display command specifies
a foreign VG by name on the command line, it should produce an
error message.
Scanning commands pvscan/vgscan/lvscan are always allowed to
read and update caches from all PVs, including those that belong
to foreign VGs.
Other non-report/display/scan commands always ignore a foreign
VG, or report an error if they attempt to use a foreign VG.
vgimport should always invalidate the lvmetad cache because
lvmetad likely holds a pre-vgexported copy of the VG.
(This is unrelated to using foreign VGs; the pre-vgexported
VG may have had no system_id at all.)
Add --foreign to the remaining reporting and display commands plus
vgcfgbackup.
Add a NEEDS_FOREIGN_VGS flag for vgimport to always set --foreign.
If lvmetad is being used with --foreign, scan foreign VGs (currently
implemented as a full PV scan).
Handle these things centrally in lvmcmdline.c.
Also allow lvchange and vgchange -an/-aln to deactivate any foreign
LVs that happen to be active if something went wrong.
Remember to set the system ID when creating a new VG in vgsplit.
When checking whether the system ID permits access to a VG, check for
each permitted situation first, and only then issue the appropriate
error message. Always issue a message for now. (We'll try to
suppress some of those later when the VG concerned wasn't explicitly
requested.)
Add more messages to try to ensure every return code is checked and
every error path (and only an error path) contains a log_error().
Add self-correction to vgchange -c to deal with situations where
the cluster state and system ID state are out-of-sync (e.g. if
old tools were used).
Move the lvm1 sys ID into vg->lvm1_system_id and reenable the #if 0
LVM1 code. Still display the new-style system ID in the same
reporting field, though, as only one can be set.
Add a format feature flag FMT_SYSTEM_ON_PVS for LVM1 and disallow
access to LVM1 VGs if a new-style system ID has been set.
Treat the new vg->system_id as const.
Allow cmd->unknown_system_id to be cleared during toolcontext
refresh.
Set a default value of "none" for global/system_id_source.
Allow local/system_id to be empty so it's not impossible for
a later config file to remove it.
In a file containing a system ID:
Any whitespace at the start of a line is ignored;
Blank lines are ignored;
Any characters after a # are ignored along with the #.
The system ID is obtained by processing the first line with
non-ignored characters.
If further lines with non-ignored characters follow, a warning is
issued.
Add WARNING messages if there are problems setting the requested
system ID.
Ban "localhost" as a prefix regardless of the system_id_source.
Use cmd->hostname instead of calling uname again.
Make system_id_source values case-insensitive (as with new settings like
log_debug_classes) and also accept machine-id to match the filename.
Require system ID to begin with an alphanumeric character.
Rename fn to make clear it's only validation for systemid
and always terminate result rather than imposing this on the caller.
In 2.02.99, _init_tags() inadvertently began to ignore the

wiping: blkid: do not count skipped signatures in final number of wipes
We exclude some signatures from being wiped when using blkid wiping.
These are signatures which we simply overwrite. For example, the
LVM2_member signature which denotes a PV - if we call pvcreate on
existing PV, we just overwrite the PV header, no need to wipe it.
Previously, we counted such signatures as if they were wiped
and they were counted in the final number of wiped signatures
that _wipe_known_signatures_with_blkid fn returned in the "wiped"
output arg. Then the code checking this output arg could be
mislead that wiping happened while no wiping took place in real
and we could fire some code uselessly based on this information
(e.g. refreshing filters/rescanning - see also
commit 6b4066585f73df7328ea16f6cb3713cd49cf2d2d).

filters: no need to refresh filters/rescan if no signature is wiped during pvcreate at all
Before, we refreshed filters and we did full rescan of devices if
we passed through wiping (wipe_known_signatures fn call). However,

nothing was wiped. In this case, it's not necessary to do the
filter refresh/rescan of devices as nothing changed clearly.
This patch exports number of wiped signatures from all the

pvcreate: switch to "none" dev-ext source during pvcreate
pvcreate code path executes signature wiping if there are any signatures
found on device to prepare the device for PV. When the signature is wiped,
the WATCH udev rule triggers the event which then updates udev database
with fresh info, clearing the old record about previous signature.
However, when we're using udev db as dev-ext source, we'd need to wait
for this WATCH-triggered event. But we can't synchronize against such
events (at least not at this moment). Without this sync, if the code
continues, the device could still be marked as containing the old
signature if reading udev db. This may end up even with the device
to be still filtered, though the signature is already wiped.
This problem is then exposed as (an example with md components):
So we need to temporarily switch off "udev" dev-ext source here
in this part of pvcreate code until we find a way how to sync
with WATCH events.
(This problem does not occur with signature wiping which we do
on newly created LVs since we already handle this properly with
our udev flags - the LV_NOSCAN/LV_TEMPORARY flag. But we can't use
this technique for non-dm devices to keep WATCH rule under control.)
Filter complete device list through full_filter unconditionally when
we're getting the list of *all* devices even in case we're interested
only in fraction of those devices - the PVs, not the other devices
which are not PVs yet (e.g. pvs vs. pvs -a).
We need to do this full filtering whenever we're handling *complete*
list of devices, we need to be safe here, mainly if there are any
future changes and we'd forgot to change to use proper filtering then.
Also properly preventing duplicates if there are any block subsystem
components used (mpath, MD ...).
Thing here is that (under use_lvmetad=1), cmd->filter can be used
only if we're sure that the list of devices we're filtering contains
only PVs. We have to use cmd->full_filter otherwise (like it is in
case of _get_all_devices fn which acquires complete list of devices,
no matter if it is a PV or not).
Of course, cmd->full_filter is more extensive than cmd->filter
which is only a subset of full_filter.
We could optimize this in a way that if we're interested in PVs only
during process_each_pv processing (e.g. using pvs in contrast to pvs -a),
we'd get the list of PV devices directly from lvmetad from the
lvmcache_seed_infos_from_lvmetad fn call which currently updates
lvmcache only. We'd add an additional output arg for this fn to get
the list of PV devices directly in addition, without a need to iterate
over all devices which include non-PVs which we're not interested in
anyway, hence we could use only cmd->filter, not the cmd->full_filter.
So the code would look something like this:
static int _get_all_devices(....)
{
struct device_id_list *dil;
if (interested_in_pvs_only)
lvmcache_seed_infos_from_lvmetad(cmd, &dil); /* new "dil" arg */
/* the "dil" list would be filtered through cmd->filter inside lvmcache_seed_infos_from_lvmetad */
else {
lvmcache_seed_infos_from_lvmetad(cmd, NULL);

while (dev = dev_iter_get ...) {
dm_list_add(all_devices, &dil->list);

select: initialize selection handle for process_each_* fns with initial report type
This is a followup patch for previous patchset that enables selection in
process_each_* fns to fix an issue where field prefixes are not
automatically used for fields in selection criteria.
Use initial report type that matches the intention of each process_each_* functions:
- _process_pvs_in_vg - PVS
- process_each_vg - VGS
- process_each_lv and process_each_lv_in_vg - LVS
This is not normally needed for the selection handle init, BUT we would
miss the field prefix matching, e.g.
lvchange -ay -S 'name=lvol0'
The "name" above would not work if we didn't initialize reporting with
the LVS type at its start. If we pass proper init type, reporting code
can deduce the prefix automatically ("lv_name" in this case).
This report type is then changed further based on what selection criteria we
have. When doing pure selection, not report output, the final report type
is purely based on combination of this initial report type and report types
of the fields used in selection criteria.
