user creates a file listing real devices they want
lvm tests to use, and sets LVM_TEST_DEVICE_LIST.
lvm tests can use these with prepare_real_devs
and get_real_devs.
Other aux functions do not work with these devs.

The devices file /etc/lvm/devices/system.devices is a list of
devices that lvm can use. This is the default system devices
file, which is specified in lvm.conf devices/devicesfile.
The command option --devicesfile <filename> allows lvm to be
used with a different set of devices. This allows different
applications to use lvm on different sets of devices, e.g.
system devices do not need to be exposed to an application
using lvm on its own devices, and application devices do not
need to be exposed to the system.
In most cases (with limited exceptions), lvm will not read or
use a device not listed in the devices file. When the devices
file is used, the regex filter is not used, and the filter
settings in lvm.conf are ignored. filter-deviceid is used
when the devices file is enabled, and rejects any device that
does not match an entry in the devices file.
Set use_devicesfile=0 in lvm.conf or set --devicesfile ""
on the command line to disable the use of a devices file.
When disabled, lvm will see and use any device on the system
that passes the regex filter (and other standard filters.)
A device ID, e.g. wwid or serial number from sysfs, is a
unique ID that identifies a device. The device ID is
generally independent of the device content, and lvm can
get the device ID without reading the device.
The device ID is used in the devices file as the primary
method of identifying device entries, and is also included
in VG metadata for PVs.
Each device_id has a device_id_type which indicates where
the device_id comes from, e.g. "sys_wwid" means the device_id
comes from the sysfs wwid file. Others are sys_serial,
mpath_uuid, loop_file, md_uuid, devname. (devname is the
device path, which is a fallback when no other proper
device_id_type is available.)
filter-deviceid permits lvm to use only devices on the system
that have a device_id matching a devices file entry. Using
the device_id, lvm can determine the set of devices to use
without reading any devices, so the devices file will constrain
lvm in two ways:
1. it limits the devices that lvm will read.
2. it limits the devices that lvm will use.
In some uncommon cases, e.g. when devices have no unique ID
and device_id has to fall back to using the devname, lvm may
need to read all devices on the system to determine which
ones correspond to the devices file entries. In this case,
the devices file does not limit the devices that lvm reads,
but it does limit the devices that lvm uses.
pvcreate/vgcreate/vgextend are not constrained by the devices
file, and will look outside it to find the new PV. They assign
the new PV a device_id and add it to the devices file. It is
also possible to explicitly add new PVs to the devices file before
using them in pvcreate/etc, in which case these commands would not
need to look outside the devices file for the new device.
vgimportdevices VG looks at all devices on the system to find an
existing VG and add its devices to the devices file. The command
is not limited by an existing devices file. The command will also
add device_ids to the VG metadata if the VG does not yet include
device_ids. vgimportdevices -a imports devices for all accessible
VGs. Since vgimportdevices does not limit itself to devices in
an existing devices file, the lvm.conf regex filter applies.
Adding --foreign will import devices for foreign VGs, but device_ids
are not added to foreign VGs. Incomplete VGs are not imported.
The lvmdevices command manages the devices file. The primary
purpose is to edit the devices file, but it will read PV headers
to find/check PVIDs. (It does not read, process or modify VG
metadata.)
lvmdevices
. Displays devices file entries.
lvmdevices --check
. Checks devices file entries.
lvmdevices --update
. Updates devices file entries.
lvmdevices --adddev <devname>
. Adds devices_file entry (reads pv header).
lvmdevices --deldev <devname>
. Removes devices file entry.
lvmdevices --addpvid <pvid>
. Reads pv header of all devices to find <pvid>,
and if found adds devices file entry.
lvmdevices --delpvid <pvid>
. Removes devices file entry.
The vgimportclone command has a new option --importdevices
that does the equivalent of vgimportdevices with the cloned
devices that are being imported. The devices are "uncloned"
(new vgname and pvids) while at the same time adding the
devices to the devices file. This allows cloned PVs to be
imported without duplicate PVs ever appearing on the system.
The command option --devices <devnames> allows a specific
list of devices to be exposed to the lvm command, overriding
the devices file.

A cachevol can be forcibly detached when it's missing devices.
Also allow this if it's damaged/invalid and unrepairable.
This would be needed to recover data from the origin LV after
a cachevol is lost or damaged beyond repair.

In cases where lvconvert does not detect a fs block size on the
device, it falls back to choosing a writecache block size based
on the device's LBS and PBS (tries to match those.)
If the user specifies a writecache block size on the command
line (--cachesettings block_size=4096|512), lvconvert currently
fails and reports an error if the user-specified value does not
match the value lvconvert would have chosen based on LBS and PBS.
The purpose of allowing a user-specified value on the command line
is to override what lvconvert would otherwise do, so change this
to just print a warning that the user value does not match the
value that would be chosen based on the LBS/PBS, and then take
the user-specified value as the writecache block size.

Current allocation limitation requires to fit metadata/log LV on
a single PV. This is usually not a big problem, but since
thin-pool and cache-pool is using this for allocating extents
for their metadata LVs it might be eventually causing errors
where the remaining free spaces for large metadata size is spread
over several PV.

When passing 'pvmove --name arg' try to automatically move

There is not much point to let allocate more then this size
even when i.e. converted LV is bigger then 16GiB (%extent_size)
ATM neither thin-pool nor cache-pool supports bigger metadata.

Initial support for thin-pool used slightly smaller max size 15.81GiB
for thin-pool metadata. However the real limit later settled at 15.88GiB
(difference is ~64MiB - 16448 4K blocks).
lvm2 could not simply increase the size as it has been using hard cropping
of the loaded metadata device to avoid warnings printing warning of kernel
when the size was bigger (i.e. due to bigger extent_size).
This patch adds the new lvm.conf configurable setting:
allocation/thin_pool_crop_metadata
which defaults to 0 -> no crop of metadata beyond 15.81GiB.
Only user with these sizes of metadata will be affected.
Without cropping lvm2 now limits metadata allocation size to 15.88GiB.
Any space beyond is currently not used by thin-pool target.
Even if i.e. bigger LV is used for metadata via lvconvert,
or allocated bigger because of to large extent size.
With cropping enabled (=1) lvm2 preserves the old limitation
15.81GiB and should allow to work in the evironement with
older lvm2 tools (i.e. older distribution).
Thin-pool metadata with size bigger then 15.81G is now using CROP_METADATA
flag within lvm2 metadata, so older lvm2 recognizes an
incompatible thin-pool and cannot activate such pool!
Users should use uncropped version as it is not suffering
from various issues between thin_repair results and allocated
metadata LV as thin_repair limit is 15.88GiB
Users should use cropping only when really needed!
Patch also better handles resize of thin-pool metadata and prevents resize
beoyond usable size 15.88GiB. Resize beyond 15.81GiB automatically
switches pool to no-crop version. Even with existing bigger thin-pool
metadata command 'lvextend -l+1 vg/pool_tmeta' does the change.
Patch gives better controls 'coverted' metadata LV and
reports less confusing message during conversion.
Patch set also moves the code for updating min/max into pool_manip.c
for better sharing with cache_pool code.

When detaching writecache, make the first stage send a message
to dm-writecache to set the cleaner option. This is instead of
reloading the dm table with the cleaner option set. Reloading
the table causes udev to process/probe the dm dev, which gets
stalled because of the writeback activity, and the stalled udev
in turn stalls the lvconvert command when it tries to sync with
udev events.
When getting writecache status we do not need to get
open_count or read_head info, which can cause extra steps.

In case legs of a raid0 LV are removed, the lvdisplay command still
reports 'available' though raid0 is not providing any resilience
compared to the other raid levels.
Also lvdisplay does not display '(partial)' in case of missing raid0
legs as oposed to the lvs command.
Enhance lvdisplay to report "NOT available" for any RaidLV type in case
too many legs are inaccessible hence causing data loss. I.e. any leg
for raid0, all for raid1, more than 1 for raid4/5, more than 2 for raid6
and in case of completely lost mirror groups for raid10.
Add test/shell/lvdisplay-raid.sh.

When adding replacement raid+integrity images (lvconvert --repair
after a raid image is lost), various errors can cause the function
to exit with an error. On this exit path, the function attempts
to revert new images that had been created but not yet used. The
cleanup failed to account for the fact that not all images needed
to be reverted.

Since commit 77fdc17d70e62cab75efaaf0dad02493b948610d always include
log_len size into needed extents - however now we may need sometimes
more extents then necessary - mainly when multiple PVs are involved
into allocation.
