[pve-devel] [PATCH pve-manager v4] postinst: filter rbds in lvm

Since LVM 2.03.15 RBD devices are also scanned by default [1]. This
can lead to guest volumes being recognized and displayed on the host
when using KRBD for RBD-backed disks. In order to prevent this we add
an additional filter to the LVM config to avoid scanning rbds.

This also prevents a bug where LVM created a very high amount of
archive entries when there were logical volumes with the same path
available. This could happen when two guests with RBD disks had the
same LVM layout or a guest and host had the same layout.

previous behavior:
If there is no marker in the LVM conf and global_filter does not
contain '/dev/zd.*': replace the global_filter with our version

new behavior:
Replace the global_filter iff:
- There is no marker and global_filter is empty
- The global_filter is exactly the old default

If we don't replace the filter and it is a non-default value: We print
a warning. Addtionally we force this function to run once when
upgrading from older versions.

The previous versions could replace custom global_filters where the
comment had been removed and the zvol directive removed. The new
behavior is slightly more conservative, but works the same in other
cases.

Changes from v3 -> v4:
- Move LVM_SUPPRESS_FD_WARNINGS=1 in order to prevent fd warnings from
  the lvmconfig invocation

Changes from v2 -> v3:
- Additionally only change empty values if there is no marker
- Print a warning when encountering a non-default value
- Check the LVM config for validity afterwards and restore it from
  backup if it is invalid

Changes from v1 -> v2:
- changed replacement logic:
  - if there is an existing global_filter, we replace the line
  - if there is no existing global_filter we add a whole 'devices' block
- we only rewrite if there is no global_filter set or if it is the value
we set in versions <= 8.1.3
