Subject: [PATCH] disk/diskfilter: Use nodes in logical volume's segment as
 member device

Currently the grub_diskfilter_memberlist() function returns all physical
volumes added to a volume group to which a logical volume (LV) belongs.
However, this is suboptimal as it doesn't fit the intended behavior of
returning underlying devices that make up the LV. To give a clear
picture, the result should be identical to running commands below to
display the logical volumes with underlying physical volumes in use.

localhost:~ # lvs -o lv_name,vg_name,devices /dev/system/root
    LV   VG     Devices
    root system /dev/vda2(512)

localhost:~ # lvdisplay --maps /dev/system/root
    --- Logical volume ---
      ...
    --- Segments ---
    Logical extents 0 to 4604:
      Type                linear
      Physical volume     /dev/vda2
      Physical extents    512 to 5116

As shown above, we can know system-root LV uses only /dev/vda2 to
allocate it's extents, or we can say that /dev/vda2 is the member device
comprising the system-root LV.

It is important to be precise on the member devices, because that helps
to avoid pulling in excessive dependency. Let's use an example to
demonstrate why it is needed.

localhost:~ # findmnt /
  TARGET SOURCE                  FSTYPE OPTIONS
  /      /dev/mapper/system-root ext4   rw,relatime

localhost:~ # pvs
    PV               VG     Fmt  Attr PSize    PFree
    /dev/mapper/data system lvm2 a--  1020.00m    0
    /dev/vda2        system lvm2 a--    19.99g    0

localhost:~ # cryptsetup status /dev/mapper/data
  /dev/mapper/data is active and is in use.
    type:    LUKS1
    cipher:  aes-xts-plain64
    keysize: 512 bits
    key location: dm-crypt
    device:  /dev/vdb
    sector size:  512
    offset:  4096 sectors
    size:    2093056 sectors
    mode:    read/write

localhost:~ # vgs
    VG     #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize  VFree
    system   2   3   0 wz--n- 20.98g    0

localhost:~ # lvs -o lv_name,vg_name,devices
    LV   VG     Devices
    data system /dev/mapper/data(0)
    root system /dev/vda2(512)
    swap system /dev/vda2(0)

We can learn from above that /dev/mapper/data is an encrypted volume and
also gets assigned to volume group "system" as one of it's physical
volumes. And also it is not used by root device, /dev/mapper/system-root,
for allocating extents, so it shouldn't be taking part in the process of
setting up GRUB to access root device.

However, running grub-install reports error as volume group "system"
contains encrypted volume.

error: attempt to install to encrypted disk without cryptodisk
  enabled. Set `GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y' in file `/etc/default/grub'.

Certainly we can enable GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y and move on, but that
is not always acceptable since the server may need to be booted unattended.
Additionally, typing passphrase for every system startup can be a big
hassle of which most users would like to avoid.

This patch solves the problem by returning exact physical volume, /dev/vda2,
rightly used by system-root from the example above, thus grub-install will
not error out because the excessive encrypted device to boot the root device
is not configured.
