+    udev: also autoactivate on coldplug
+    
+    Commit 756bcabbfe297688ba240a880bc2b55265ad33f0 fixed autoactivation
+    to not trigger on each uevent for a PV that appeared in the system
+    most notably the events that are triggered artificially (udevadm
+    trigger or as the result of the WATCH udev rule being applied that
+    consequently generates CHANGE uevents). This fixed a situation in
+    which VGs/LVs were activated when they should not.
+    
+    BUT we still need to care about the coldplug used at boot to
+    retrigger the ADD events - the "udevadm trigger --action=add"!
+    
+    For non-DM-based PVs, this is already covered as for these we
+    run the autoactivation on ADD event only.
+    
+    However, for DM-based PVs, we still need to run the
+    autoactivation even for the artificial ADD event, reusing
+    the udev DB content from previous proper CHANGE event that
+    came with the DM device activation.
+    
+    Simply, this patch fixes a situation in which we run extra
+    "udevadm trigger --action=add" (or echo add > /sys/block/<dev>/uevent)
+    for DM-based PVs (cryptsetup devices, multipath devices, any
+    other DM devices...).
+    
+    Without this patch, while using lvmetad + autoactivation,
+    any VG/LV that has a DM-based PV and for which we do not
+    call the activation directly, the VG/LV is not activated.
+    
+    For example a VG with an LV with root FS on it which is directly
+    activated in initrd and then missing activation of the rest
+    of the LVs in the VG because of unhandled uevent retrigger on
+    boot after switching to root FS (the "coldplug").
+    
+    (No WHATS_NEW here as this fixes the commit mentioned
+    above and which was not released yet.)
