Subject: [PATCH 1/5] Avoid to consider lvm snapshots when scanning devices.
From: Goffredo Baroncelli <kreij...@gmail.com>
To: <linux-btrfs@vger.kernel.org>
Date: 2014年12月05日 02:39
LVM snapshots create a problem to the btrfs devices management.
BTRFS assumes that each device haw an unique 'device UUID'.
A LVM snapshot breaks this assumption.

This patch skips LVM snapshots during the device scan phase.
If you need to consider a LVM snapshot you have to set the
environmental variable BTRFS_SKIP_LVM_SNAPSHOT to "no".
IMHO, it is better only to skip LVM snapshot if and only if the snapshot contains a btrfs with
conflicting UUID.

Since LVM is such a flexible block level volume management, it is possible that some one did a snapshot of a btrfs fs, and then reformat the original one to other fs.
In that case, the LVM snapshot skip seems overkilled.

Also, personally, I prefer there will be some option like -i to allow user to choose which device is used when conflicting uuid is detected. This seems to be the best case and user can have the full control
on device scan. This also makes the environment variant not needed.

LVM snapshot skip (only when conflicting) is better to be the fallback behavior if -i is not given.

Thanks,
Qu

To check if a device is a LVM snapshot, it is checked the
'udev' device property 'DM_UDEV_LOW_PRIORITY_FLAG' .
If it is set to 1, the device has to be skipped.

As conseguence, btrfs now depends by libudev.

Programmatically you can control this behavior with the functions:
- btrfs_scan_set_skip_lvm_snapshot(int new_value)
- int btrfs_scan_get_skip_lvm_snapshot( )
