[lvm-devel] [PATCH] cache: Properly rename origin LV tree when adding "_corig" suffix

Currently, when creating a cache LV that has a RAID origin LV, the
sub-LVs are not properly renamed.  The reason is that
insert_layer_for_lv does not take sub-LVs into account when adding the
layer suffix.  I've worked around this in lv_cache_create, but I wonder
if the solution should be added to insert_layer_for_lv instead...

cache: Properly rename origin LV tree when adding "_corig"

When creating a cache LV with a RAID origin, we need to ensure that
the sub-LVs of that origin properly change their names to include
the "_corig" extention of the top-level LV.  We do this by first
performing a 'lv_rename_update' before making the call to
'insert_layer_for_lv'.
