Use libblkid to detect sector/block size of the fs on the LV.
Use this to choose a compatible writecache block size.
Enable attaching writecache to an active LV.
When lvconvert is used to remove raid images, we can
skip calling lv_add_integrity_to_raid(), which finds
nothing to do, but the the blocksize validation would
be called unnecessarily and trigger spurious errors.
pvck --dump headers reads the metadata text area
to compute the text metadata checksum to compare
with the mda_header checksum.
The new header_only will skip reading the metadata
text and not validate the mda_header checksum.
dm-integrity stores checksums of the data written to an
LV, and returns an error if data read from the LV does
not match the previously saved checksum. When used on
raid images, dm-raid will correct the error by reading
the block from another image, and the device user sees
no error. The integrity metadata (checksums) are stored
on an internal LV allocated by lvm for each linear image.
The internal LV is allocated on the same PV as the image.
Create a raid LV with an integrity layer over each
raid image (for raid levels 1,4,5,6,10):
lvcreate --type raidN --raidintegrity y [options]
Add an integrity layer to images of an existing raid LV:
lvconvert --raidintegrity y LV
Remove the integrity layer from images of a raid LV:
lvconvert --raidintegrity n LV
Settings
Use --raidintegritymode journal|bitmap (journal is default)
to configure the method used by dm-integrity to ensure
crash consistency.
Initialization
When integrity is added to an LV, the kernel needs to
initialize the integrity metadata/checksums for all blocks
in the LV. The data corruption checking performed by
dm-integrity will only operate on areas of the LV that
are already initialized. The progress of integrity
initialization is reported by the "syncpercent" LV
reporting field (and under the Cpy%Sync lvs column.)
Example: create a raid1 LV with integrity:
$ lvcreate --type raid1 -m1 --raidintegrity y -n rr -L1G foo
Creating integrity metadata LV rr_rimage_0_imeta with size 12.00 MiB.
Logical volume "rr_rimage_0_imeta" created.
Creating integrity metadata LV rr_rimage_1_imeta with size 12.00 MiB.
Logical volume "rr_rimage_1_imeta" created.
Logical volume "rr" created.
$ lvs -a foo
LV VG Attr LSize Origin Cpy%Sync
rr foo rwi-a-r--- 1.00g 4.93
[rr_rimage_0] foo gwi-aor--- 1.00g [rr_rimage_0_iorig] 41.02
[rr_rimage_0_imeta] foo ewi-ao---- 12.00m
[rr_rimage_0_iorig] foo -wi-ao---- 1.00g
[rr_rimage_1] foo gwi-aor--- 1.00g [rr_rimage_1_iorig] 39.45
[rr_rimage_1_imeta] foo ewi-ao---- 12.00m
[rr_rimage_1_iorig] foo -wi-ao---- 1.00g
[rr_rmeta_0] foo ewi-aor--- 4.00m
[rr_rmeta_1] foo ewi-aor--- 4.00m
lvm2 supports thin-pool to be later used by other tools doing
virtual volumes themself (i.e. docker) - in this case we
shall not validate transaction Id - is this is used by
other tools and lvm2 keeps value 0 - so the transationId
validation need to be skipped in this case.
Prevent attaching writecache to an active LV until
we can determine the block size of the fs on the LV,
and use that to enforce an appropriate writecache
block size. Changing the block size under a mounted
fs can cause panic/corruption.
Currently the error messages are not clear. This very easy to
guide user to execute "--removemissing --force", it is dangerous
and will make the LVs to be destroied.

Since VDO is also pool, the old if() case missed to know about this,
and executed unnecesserily initialization of cache pool variables.
This was usually harmless when using 'smaller' sizes of VDO pools,
but for big VDO pool size, we were reporting senseless messages
about big cache chunk sizes.
To write a new/repaired pv_header and label_header:
pvck --repairtype pv_header --file <file> <device>
This uses the metadata input file to find the PV UUID,
device size, and data offset.
To write new/repaired metadata text and mda_header:
pvck --repairtype metadata --file <file> <device>
This requires a good pv_header which points to one or two
metadata areas. Any metadata areas referenced by the
pv_header are updated with the specified metadata and
a new mda_header. "--settings mda_num=1|2" can be used
to select one mda to repair.
To combine all header and metadata repairs:
pvck --repair --file <file> <device>
It's best to use a raw metadata file as input, that was
extracted from another PV in the same VG (or from another
metadata area on the same PV.) pvck will also accept a
metadata backup file, but that will produce metadata that
is not identical to other metadata copies on other PVs
and other areas. So, when using a backup file, consider
using it to update metadata on all PVs/areas.
To get a raw metadata file to use for the repair, see
pvck --dump metadata|metadata_search.
List all instances of metadata from the metadata area:
pvck --dump metadata_search <device>
Save one instance of metadata at the given offset to
the specified file (this file can be used for repair):
pvck --dump metadata_search --file <file>
--settings "metadata_offset=<off>" <device>
using --settings:
mda_offset=<offset> mda_size=<size> can be used
in place of the offset/size that normally come
from headers.
metadata_offset=<offset> prints/saves one instance
of metadata text at the given offset, in
metadata_all or metadata_search.
This reverts commit 7474440d3b.
lvs can use the scanning optimization again since it has
been changed in:
"scanning: optimize by checking text offset and checksum"
The kernel MD runtime requires region size to be larger than stripe size
on striped raid layouts, thus the dm-raid target's constructor rejects
such request.
This causes e.g. an 'lvcreate --type raid10 -i3 -I4096 -R2048 -n lv vg' to fail.
Avoid failing late in the kernel by enforcing region size to be
larger or equal to stripe size.

When pvcreate/pvremove prompt the user, they first release
the global lock, then acquire it again after the prompt,
to avoid blocking other commands while waiting for a user
response. This release/reacquire changes the locking
order with respect to the hints flock (and potentially other
locks). So, to avoid deadlock, use a nonblocking request
when reacquiring the global lock.
The scanning optimization can produce warnings from
'lvs' when run concurrently with commands modifying LVs,
so disable the optimization until it can be improved.
Without the scanning optimization, lvs will always
read all PVs twice:
1. read metadata from all PVs, saving it in memory
2. for each VG
3. lock VG
4. reread metadata from all PVs in VG, replacing metadata
saved from step 1
5. run command on VG
6. unlock VG
The optimization would usually cause step 4 to be skipped,
and PVs would be read only once.
Running the command in step 5 using metadata that was not
read under the VG lock is usually fine, except for the
fact that lvs attempts to validate the metadata by comparing
it to current dm state. If other commands are modifying dm
state while lvs is running, lvs may see differences between
metadata from step 1 and dm state checked during step 5,
and print warnings.
(A better fix may be to detect the concurrent change and
fall back to rereading metadata in step 4 only when needed.)
Since we check for NULL pointers earlier we need
to be consistent across function - since the NULL
would applies across whole function.
When dropping 'mda' check - we are actually
already dereferencing it before - so it can't
be NULL at that places (and it's validated
before entering _read_mda_header_and_metadata).
When a cachevol LV is attached, have the LV keep it's lock
allocated. The lock on the cachevol won't be used while
it's attached. When the cachevol is split a new lock does
not need to be allocated. (Applies to cachevol usage by
both dm-cache and dm-writecache.)
When a user includes "--type foo" in a command, only
look at command definitions with matching type, as
opposed to using matching/mismatching --type as a
vote for/against a given command def. This means a
command with --type foo will prioritize a command def
with --type foo over other command defs that have
more matching options but an unmatching type. This
makes it more likely that a closely matching command
def will be recommended.
When LV gets cached and uses cache-pool - such cache-pool
will now get _cpool suffix automatically.
Thus 'Pool' column for cached LV will now show either _cvol
or _cpool LV.
Improve the implementation of extracting all text metadata
copies from the metadata area. Use this for the existing
metadata_all dump option.
Add a new metadata_search dump option which does not use
lvm headers to find metadata, but looks in standard
locations. This is useful if headers are damaged and
can't be used to locate metadata.
Adding '-v' to metadata_all or metadata_search will add
the description and creation_time to the printed list of
metadata instances that are found.
Before 'archive()' is called, lvm2 must not touch/modify metadata.
So move setting CACHE_VOL related flags past this point.
Also make sure reading of cache segtype always restores this
flag properly (even if compatible flag would be lost).
When an LV is used as a writecache cachevol, give
it the LV name a _cvol suffix. Remove the suffix
when the cachevol is detached, restoring the
original LV name.
A cachevol LV had the CACHE_VOL status flag in metadata,
and the cache LV using it had no new flag. This caused
problems if the new metadata was used by an old version
of lvm. An old version of lvm would have two problems
processing the new metadata:
. The old lvm would return an error when reading the VG
metadata when it saw the unknown CACHE_VOL status flag.
. The old lvm would return an error when reading the VG
metadata because it would not find an expected cache pool
attached to the cache LV (since the cache LV had a
cachevol attached instead.)
Change the use of flags:
. Change the CACHE_VOL flag to be a COMPATIBLE flag (instead
of a STATUS flag) so that old versions will not fail when
they see it.
. When a cache LV is using a cachevol, the cache LV gets
a new SEGTYPE flag CACHE_USES_CACHEVOL. This flag is
appended to the segtype name, so that old lvm versions
will fail to use the LV because of an unknown segtype,
as opposed to failing to read the VG.
Instead of using 'noflush' option, switch cache_mode into WRITETHROUGH
which does not require flushing, when user confirmed he does not
want flushing for WRITEBACK (because of (partially) missing caching PV)
For wiping we activate and clear 'regular' devices,
since in case of whole process interuption (i.e. kill -9)
we leave metadata & DM table and workable state all the time.
vgck --updatemetadata would write the same correct
metadata to good mdas, and then to bad mdas, but the
sequence of vg_write/vg_commit calls betwen good and
bad mdas could cause a different description field to
be generated for good/bad mdas. (The description field
describing the command was recently included in the
ondisk copy of the metadata text.)
When the PV device names in the VG metadata do not match the
current PV device names seen on the system, do not use the
optimized activation function (that avoids extra device scanning.)
When the device names do not match, it's a clue that there could
be duplicate PVs, in which case we want to scan all devicess to
find any duplicates and stop the activation if found.
This does not prevent autoactivating a VG from the incorrect
duplicate PV, because the incorrect duplicate may appear by itself
first. At that point its duplicate PV does not exist to be seen.
(A future enhancement could use the WWID to strengthen this
detection.)
- use internal CACHE_VOL flag on cachevol LV
- add suffixes to dm uuids for internal LVs
- display appropriate letters in the LV attr field
- display writecache's cachevol in lvs output
. For dm-cache in writethrough, always allow splitcache,
whether the cache is missing PVs or not.
. For dm-cache in writeback, if the cache is missing PVs,
allow splitcache with force and yes.
. For dm-writecache, if the cache is missing PVs,
allow splitcache with force and yes.
Enhance 'activation' experience for VDO pool to more closely match
what happens for thin-pools where we do use a 'fake' LV to keep pool
running even when no thinLVs are active. This gives user a choice
whether he want to keep thin-pool running (wihout possibly lenghty
activation/deactivation process)
As we do plan to support multple VDO LVs to be mapped into a single VDO,
we want to give user same experience and 'use-patter' as with thin-pools.
This patch gives option to activate VDO pool only without activating
VDO LV.
Also due to 'fake' layering LV we can protect usage of VDO pool from
command like 'mkfs' which do require exlusive access to the volume,
which is no longer possible.
Note: VDO pool contains 1024 initial sectors as 'empty' header - such
header is also exposed in layered LV (as read-only LV).
For blkid we are indentified as LV with UUID suffix - thus private DM
device of lvm2 - so we do not need to store any extra info in this
header space (aka zero is good enough).
