(answering myself - why "return 1". the function name is misleading for me...)
/*
 * Does PV use VG somewhere in its construction?
 * Returns 1 on failure.
 */
int pv_uses_vg(struct physical_volume *pv,
	       struct volume_group *vg)



Please add something like this to cover it by testsuite
(best add it to already existing vgsplit tests):

. ./test-utils.sh

aux prepare_devs 3

pvcreate $devs
vgcreate $vg1 $dev1 $dev2
lvcreate -n $lv1 -l 100%FREE $vg1

#top VG
pvcreate $G_dev_/$vg1/$lv1
vgcreate $vg $G_dev_/$vg1/$lv1 $dev3

vgchange -a n $vg
vgchange -a n $vg1

# this should fail but not segfault
not vgsplit $vg $vg1 $dev3
