[PATCH 0/3] LVM2 topology support (patchset 1)

[PATCH 0/3] LVM2 topology support (patchset 1)

[Mike Snitzer]

Split the overall LVM2 topology patchset into 2 sets.
This first patchset is the core of the LVM2 topology support; the second
patchset is more straight-forward.

First 2 patches are just fixes.

The --dataalignmentoffset patch (3) now adds the dataalignmentoffset to
the first mda (rather than leaving an unused gap between the first mda
and pe_start).  _text_pv_setup() was updated to make certain there isn't
a double-adjustment of pe_start.

Mike Snitzer (3):
  Formalize pe_start policy as split between .pv_setup and .pv_write.
  Fix _mda_setup() to not check first mda's size before pe_align rounding.
  Add --dataalignmentoffset to pvcreate to shift start of aligned data area.

[PATCH 1/3] Formalize pe_start policy as split between .pv_setup and .pv_write.

[Mike Snitzer]

Document existing pe_start policy.
Fix issue in _text_pv_setup() where existing pe_start case could have
the pv->pe_start set to pv->pe_align even though pe_start shouldn't ever
change.

[PATCH 2/3] Fix _mda_setup() to not check first mda's size before pe_align rounding.

[Mike Snitzer]

Without this fix rounding the end of the first mda to a pe_align
boundary could silently exceed the disk_size.

Final 'if (start1 + mda_size1 > disk_size)' block serves as a safety
net.

[PATCH 3/3] Add --dataalignmentoffset to pvcreate to shift start of aligned data area

[Mike Snitzer]

Implement pvcreate --dataalignmentoffset to shift the start of
the aligned data area.

Adds pe_align_offset to 'struct physical_volume'; is initialized with
set_pe_align_offset().  After pe_start is established pe_align_offset is
added to it.

Err, redundant push from the wrong subdirectory... correct patchset (#2)
push to follow.

Sorry for the noise.

[PATCH 0/3] LVM2 topology support (patchset 1)

[Mike Snitzer]

Split the overall LVM2 topology patchset into 2 sets.
This first patchset is the core of the LVM2 topology support; the second
patchset is more straight-forward.

First 2 patches are just fixes.

The --dataalignmentoffset patch (3) now adds the dataalignmentoffset to
the first mda (rather than leaving an unused gap between the first mda
and pe_start).  _text_pv_setup() was updated to make certain there isn't
a double-adjustment of pe_start.

Mike Snitzer (3):
  Formalize pe_start policy as split between .pv_setup and .pv_write.
  Fix _mda_setup() to not check first mda's size before pe_align rounding.
  Add --dataalignmentoffset to pvcreate to shift start of aligned data area.
