This is a regression introduced by commit
6c0e44d5a2 which changed
the way dev_cache_get fn works - before this patch, when a
device was not found, it fired a full rescan to correct the
cache. However, the change coming with that commit missed
this full_rescan call, causing the lvmcache to still contain
info about PVs which should be filtered now.
Such situation may have happened by coincidence of using
old persistent cache (/etc/lvm/cache/.cache) which does not
reflect the actual state anymore, a device name/symlink which
now points to a device which should be filtered and a fact we
keep info about usable DM devices in .cache no matter what
the filter setting is.
This bug could be hidden though by changes introduced in
commit f1a000a477 as it
calls full_rescan earlier before this problem is hit.
But we need to fix this anyway for the dev_cache_get
to be correct if we happen to use the same code path
again somewhere sometime.
For example, simple reproducer was (before commit
1a000a477558e157532d5f2cd2f9c9139d4f87c):
- /dev/sda contains a PV header with UUID y5PzRD-RBAv-7sBx-V3SP-vDmy-DeSq-GUh65M
- lvm.conf: filter = [ "r|.*|" ]
- rm -f .cache (to start with clean state)
- dmsetup create test --table "0 8388608 linear /dev/sda 0" (8388608 is
just the size of the /dev/sda device I use in the reproducer)
- pvs (this will create .cache file which contains
"/dev/disk/by-id/lvm-pv-uuid-y5PzRD-RBAv-7sBx-V3SP-vDmy-DeSq-GUh65M"
as well as "/dev/mapper/test" and the target node "/dev/dm-1" - all the
usable DM mappings (and their symlinks) get into the .cache file even
though the filter "is set to "ignore all" - we do this - so far it's OK)
- dmsetup remove test (so we end up with /dev/disk/by-id/lvm-pv-uuid-...
pointing to the /dev/sda now since it's the underlying device
containing the actual PV header)
- now calling "pvs" with such .cache file and we get:
$ pvs
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/disk/by-id/lvm-pv-uuid-y5PzRD-RBAv-7sBx-V3SP-vDmy-DeSq-GUh65M vg lvm2 a-- 4.00g 0
Even though we have set filter = [ "r|.*|" ] in the lvm.conf file!
Replace misleading "not found" in the log message when
devices/preferred_names is set to empty array:
Really not found:
device/dev-cache.c:689 devices/preferred_names not found in config: using built-in preferences
Found, but empty:
config/config.c:1431 Setting devices/preferred_names to preferred_names = [ ]
device/dev-cache.c:689 devices/preferred_names is empty: using built-in preferences
When pvscan --cache --major --minor command is issued from
udev REMOVE event, it basically resulted into a whole device
scan since the device was missing. So avoid such scan
and first check via /sysfs (when available) if such device actually
exists.
The code in dev_iter_create assumes that if a filter can be wiped, doing so will
always trigger a call to _full_scan. This is not true for composite filters
though, since they can always be wiped in principle, but there is no way to know
that a component filter inside will exist that actually triggers the scan.
The list of strings is used quite frequently and we'd like to reuse
this simple structure for report selection support too. Make it part
of libdevmapper for general reuse throughout the code.
This also simplifies the LVM code a bit since we don't need to
include and manage lvm-types.h anymore (the string list was the
only structure defined there).
When lvm2 command works with clvmd and uses locking in wrong way,
it may 'leak' certain file descriptors in opened (incorrect) state.
dev_cache_exit then destroys memory pool of cached devices, while
_open_devices list in dev-io.c was still referencing them if they
were still opened.
Patch properly calls _close() function to 'self-heal' from this
invalid state, but it will report internal error (so execution
with abort_on_internal_error causes immediate death). On the
normal 'execution', error is only reported, but memory state is
corrected, and linked list is not referencing devices from
released mempool.
For crash see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1073886
When the device is inserted in dev_name_confirmed() stat() is
called twice as _insert() has it's own stat() call.
Extend _insert() parameter with struct stat* - which could be used
if it has been just obtained. When NULL is passed code is
doing its own stat() call as before.
Split out the partitioned device filter that needs to open the device
and move the multipath filter in front of it.
When a device is multipathed, sending I/O to the underlying paths may
cause problems, the most obvious being I/O errors visible to lvm if a
path is down.
Revert the incorrect <backtrace> messages added when a device doesn't
pass a filter.
Log each filter initialisation to show sequence.
Avoid duplicate 'Using $device' debug messages.
Changes:
- move device type registration out of "type filter" (filter.c)
to a separate and new dev-type.[ch] for common use throughout the code
- the structure for keeping the major numbers detected for available
device types and available partitioning available is stored in
"dev_types" structure now
- move common partitioning detection code to dev-type.[ch] as well
together with other device-related functions bound to dev_types
(see dev-type.h for the interface)
The dev-type interface contains all common functions used to detect
subsystems/device types, signature/superblock recognition code,
type-specific device properties and other common device properties
(bound to dev_types), including partitioning support.
- add dev_types instance to cmd context as cmd->dev_types for common use
- use cmd->dev_types throughout as a central point for providing
information about device types
For example, the old call and reference:
find_config_tree_str(cmd, "devices/dir", DEFAULT_DEV_DIR)
...now becomes:
find_config_tree_str(cmd, devices_dir_CFG)
So we're referring to the named configuration ID instead
of passing the configuration path and the default value
is taken from central config definition in config_settings.h
automatically.
Use log_warn to print non-fatal warning messages.
Use of log_error would confuse checker for testing
whether proper error has been reported for some real error.
Libudev does not provide transactions when querying udev database - once we
get the list of block devices (devices/obtain_device_list_from_udev=1) and
we iterate over the list to get more detailed information about device node
and symlink names used etc., the device could be removed just in between we
get the list and put a query for more info. In this case, libudev returns
NULL value as the device does not exist anymore.
Recently, we've added a warning message to reveal such situations. However,
this could be misleading if the device is not related to the LVM action
we're just processing - the non-related block device could be removed in
parallel and this is not an error but a possible and normal operation.
(N.B. This "missing info" should not happen when devices are related to
the LVM action we're just processing since all such processing should be
synchronized with udev and the udev db must always be in consistent state
after the sync point. But we can't filter this situation out from others,
non-related devices, so we have to lower the message verbosity here for a
general solution.)
Avoid using NULL pointers from udev. It seems like some older versions of udev
were improperly returning NULL in some case, so do not silently break here,
and give at least a warning to the user.
When both path have identical prefix i.e. /dev/disk/by-id
skip 2 x lstat() for /dev /dev/disk /dev/disk/by-id
and directly lstat() only different part of the path.
Reduces amount of lstat calls on system with lots of devices.
leaving behind the LVM-specific parts of the code (convenience wrappers that
handle `struct device` and `struct cmd_context`, basically). A number of
functions have been renamed (in addition to getting a dm_ prefix) -- namely,
all of the config interface now has a dm_config_ prefix.
Also, add a new 'obtain_device_list_from_udev' setting to lvm.conf with which
we can turn this feature on or off if needed.
If set, the cache of block device nodes with all associated symlinks
will be constructed out of the existing udev database content.
This avoids using and opening any inapplicable non-block devices or
subdirectories found in the device directory. This setting is applied
to udev-managed device directory only, other directories will be scanned
fully. LVM2 needs to be compiled with udev support for this setting to
take effect. N.B. Any device node or symlink not managed by udev in
udev directory will be ignored with this setting on.
Change API interface to accept even completely const array patterns.
This should present no change for libdm users and allows to pass
pattern arrays without cast to const char **.
To have better control were the config tree could be modified use more
const pointers and very carefully downcast them back to non-const
(for config tree merge).
When we are stacking LV over device, which has for some reason
increased read_ahead (e.g. MD RAID), the read_ahead hint
for libdevmapper is wrong (it is zero).
If the calculated read_ahead hint is zero, patch uses read_ahead of underlying device
(if first segment is PV) when setting DM_READ_AHEAD_MINIMUM_FLAG.
Because we are using dev-cache, it also store this value to cache for future use
(if several LVs are over one PV, BLKRAGET is called only once for underlying device.)
This should fix all the reamining problems with readahead mismatch reported
for DM over MD configurations (and similar cases).
event-driven model. Without changes to the way the cache gets updated, the
option is currently unreliable without a global lock to prevent any lvm2
commands from running concurrently.
Additional verbosity level -vvvv includes line numbers and backtraces.
Verbose messages now go to stderr not stdout.
Close any stray file descriptors before starting.
Refine partitionable checks for certain device types.
Allow devices/types to override built-ins.
Clear many compiler warnings (i386) & associated bugs - hopefully without
introducing too many new bugs:-) (Same exercise required for other archs.)
Default compilation has optimisation - or else use ./configure --enable-debug
Lots of changes/very little testing so far => there'll be bugs!
Use 'vgcreate -M text' to create a volume group with its metadata stored
in text files. Text format metadata changes should be reasonably atomic,
with a (basic) automatic recovery mechanism if the system crashes while a
change is in progress.
Add a metadata section to lvm.conf to specify multiple directories if
you want (recommended) to keep multiple copies of the metadata (eg on
different filesystems).
e.g. metadata {
dirs = ["/etc/lvm/metadata1","/usr/local/lvm/metadata2"]
}
Plenty of refinements still in the pipeline.
This should be a rare occurrence so the aim is to recover if it's
straightforward to do so, otherwise just to abort the operation.
If people *knowingly* change device names, they should always run vgscan
afterwards.
A few bytes of memory gets leaked inside a pool each time an alias
has to be discarded - it's not worth restructuring the code to reuse it.
More of LVM2 needs updating to pass device objects (or uuids) about
instead of pathnames so that resolution of pathname->object only happens
once per operation.
dev_cache_get() should now always return the *current* device at the path given
dev_name_confirmed() replaces dev_name() whenever it's important to
know that name for the device is still current (ie when opening it).
If the cache doesn't know a current name, the function fails.
dev_open() guarantees that the file descriptor returned is for the dev_t
of the device structure it was passed.
o When opening device, return error if its cached name is incorrect (eg if
it's changed since the cache was generated). This prevents use until
the cache is rebuilt (eg with vgscan). Doesn't catch every case.
o updated vgcfgrestore args
o change _check_for_open_devices only to check devices present in the hash
table instead of using dev_iter which triggers a full scan even when only
displaying command line help
o Changed disk-rep to use these
o if NDEBUG is not defined the dev_cache will check for open devices on
teardown.
I was hoping this would speed things up. But I'm still getting:
reti:/home/joe/sistina/LVM2/tools# time ./lvm vgchange -a n
Volume group vg0 successfully changed
real 0m5.751s
user 0m0.060s
sys 0m0.070s
even though I have only 1 device with the vg on it passing the filters.
devices {
# first match is final, eg. /dev/ide/cdrom
# get's rejected due to the first pattern
filter=["r/cdrom/", # don't touch the music !
"a/hd[a-d][0-9]+/",
"a/ide/",
"a/sd/",
"a/md/",
"a|loop/[0-9]+|", # accept devfs style loop back
"r/loop/", # and reject old style
"a/dasd/",
"a/dac960/",

"a/ida/",
"a/cciss/",
"a/ubd/",

}
Alasdair this is ready to roll into the tools now.
