Create backup copies of system.devices in /etc/lvm/devices/backup
named system.devices-YYYYMMDD.HHMMSS.NNNN. NNNN is the version
counter from the file.
Each time that an lvm command writes a new system.devices file,
it also writes the same file in the backup directory.
A new comment line is added to system.devices with HASH=<num>
where <num> is a crc calculated from the uncommented lines in
system.devices. This lets lvm detect if the file has been
modified outside of lvm itself.
If system.devices is edited directly, the next time a command
reads the file, the crc will not match the HASH value. The
command will then rewrite system.devices with the correct HASH
value, and create a backup reflecting the edits.
A default limit of 50 backup files is kept, configurable by
lvm.conf devicesfile_backup_limit (set to 0 to disable backups.)
Since understanding the reason for choosing the appmachineid over the
direct use of machineid is not easily found, I extended to help text to
clarify this a bit.
Function to recalc chunk_size according to dev hints needs to be
used after chunk_size is being set to thin pool segment - correct
this ordering mistake introduced in previous refactoring commit.
Previous patch that introduced support for thinpool with vdo
not correctly handled header size - as this part is not fully usable
yet. We are going to try to use the 0, but current state of code is not
yet compliant to this logic so keep vdo_header_size during conversion
and alos correctly pass through virtual_extents to vdo formating.
Add code to handle creation of thin-pool with VDO data backend
which can be seen as compressed deduplicated thin-pool.
To avoid need of changing to many internal APIs, pass the conversion
parameters for create thin-pool data volume via cmd_context.
Introduce struct vdo_convert_params {} to pass-in all the parameters
needed for the conversion of an LV to a vdopool + vdo LV.
Function convert_vdo_lv() is also able to create a new LV and swap
segments, so the passed in LV can be later on use for futher
conversion so this refactoring makes it ready for more enhanced
usage.
Introduce vdo_convert_params and use vdo_params from this structure
also with lvcreate_params.
Later we will use this for convertion of thin-pool data volume to VDO.
The first lv_attr flag is 'i' or 'I' for a raid image.
(i: raid image, I: out of sync raid image)
For integrity raid images (_iorig), the flag was not being set.
pvs -A|--allpvs
Show PVs that would otherwise be excluded by the devices file.
pvscan -A|--allpvs
Show PVs that would otherwise be excluded by the devices file.
For those devices that are included by the devices file,
their device ID is displayed in place of the usual "lvm2"
format and size.
(pvs -a|--all is unchanged, and shows devices not formatted as PVs.)
A pvid string read from system.devices could be less
then ID_LEN since system.devices fields can be edited.
Ensure the pvid buffer is ID_LEN+1 even if the string
read from the file is shorter.
Include info in the temp file to confirm that it should be used.
The temp file is meant to suppress repeated, identical searches
for the same PVIDs on the same set of devices. Write to the file
a count and hash of the missing PVIDs and a count and hash of the
devices to search. A subsequent command will ignore and remove
the temp file if any of these values differ. We don't want to
suppress a search if a change has occured, and a missing PV could
be found by scanning devices.
Problematic scenario:
. the device for a PV has no wwid, so it's identified in system.devices
with IDTYPE=devname IDNAME=/dev/foo
. user adds/enables a wwid for the device
. on reboot, the device name changes, e.g. now /dev/bar
. the code that searches for the new device name includes an
optimization to skip looking on devs that have a wwid, on
the basis that a device with a wwid won't have IDTYPE=devname
. this optimization causes lvm to not look for the PV on /dev/bar
since that device now has a wwid, so the PV is not found
. the optimization is enabled by search_for_devnames="auto"
. change the default to search_for_devnames="all" which does not
use the problematic optimization
- add new comparison between old and new entries, and use this
as the basis for new dedicated output for check and update
- add new --refresh option to search for missing PVIDs on all
devices, and possibly update the device ID
- internally, only use the term "refresh" for cases where a
new device ID may be found and assigned for a missing PVID
Incorrectly matching a dev to a devname id (due to changing devnames)
before matching the dev to a proper device id, can result in the
dev not being matched to the real id.

lvconvert -m may fail if we try to remove 1st. leg that
is out-of-sync while other leg is in-sync.
Hot fix allows to proceed with such down conversion.
Signed-off-by: Heinz Mauelshagen <heinzm@redhat.com>
Fixes commit 63b469c160
"device_id: fix hints with device ids"
It's not correct for internal filtering to be a factor
in validating the set of devs that are the basis for hints.
Instead, look for inconsistencies between a hint entry and
the corresponding devices file entry.
Apply the same logic for 'lvreduce' which exists for newer
systems (compiled with HAVE_BLKID_SUBLKS_FSINFO)
also for older systems for one very common practical case where
the active LV does not have any blkid known signature/filesystem.
New variant recognized this situation and allowed to proceed
without requesting a prompt, while the older variant always
requested confirmation prompt.
With this patch command now works equily for both variants
for 'active LV' without signature and allows to reduce LV
without prompting.
Before checking seg_type of the first area, check there is
some existing area.
Since we now support error and zero segtypes, these do not have
any PV area present.
Fix some interactions between device IDs and hints. Hints
may limit the scanned devices which should not always trigger
a search for the PVs that were intentionally not scanned.
Hints should also be invalidated if they contain a device
that's become excluded by an internal filter such as the
device_id filter.
Search for a PV on other devices if it's a devname entry
and the name doesn't exist on the system. This restores
code that should not have been removed in commit 1901a47df
"device_id: fix conditions for device_ids_refresh"
Fix commit 847f1dd99c
"device_id: rewrite validation of devname entries"
which began calling device_ids_refresh() in cases where it
was unnecessary, leading to extra PV searches and warnings.
Specifically, a command like "lvs <vg>" would use the hints
file to scan only devices for the named VG. This means that
scanning other PVs would be skipped, and device IDs of those
PVs could not be validated because there are no PVID values
to verify. This missing info would cause messages about
the missing info, and would cause device_ids_refresh to
search for the PVs that had been intentionally skipped.
This is mainly useful in internal testing - but keep sysfs dir also
passed to filter.
Also drop use of static variable within sysfs filter and base whole
config at creation time.
If the system changes, locate PVs that appear on different devices,
and update the device IDs in the devices file. A system change is
detected by saving the DMI product_uuid or hostname in the devices
file, and comparing it to the current system value. If a root PV
is restored or copied to a new system with different devices, then
the product_uuid or hostname should change, and trigger lvm to
locate PVIDs from system.devices on new devices.
Reuse existing report/headings config setting to make it possible to
change the type of headings to display:
0 - no headings
1 - column name abbreviations (default and original functionality)
2 - full column names (column names are equal to exact names that
-o|--options also accepts to set report output)
Also, add '--headings none|abbrev|full|0|1|2' command line option
so we are able to select the heading type for each LVM reporting
command directly.
While create new LV for pool volume, use name from 'pool_metadata%d' naming
sequence. This LV is later on renamed to pool_t/cmeta, but if there
is any error in the middle, we may evenutally leave some 'volume',
With this name it can be slightly more obvious how it got there,
but also when we handle _pmspare name - we get slightly more predictible
name used there for it.
However for a standard usage this commit shall no visible impact as the
name is used temporarily just for cleaning LV.
Set the lock_args string in addition to doing initialization.
lvconvert calls lockd_init_lv_args() directly, skipping
the normal lockd_init_lv() which usually sets lock_args.
We incorrectly marked pv_major and pv_minor fields as being of string
type, even though the values were already correctly handled as integers
internally. This confused -S|--select that tried to compare string
values instead of integers.
Reported here: https://github.com/lvmteam/lvm2/issues/122
Replace the use of internal /dev/mapper names with the use of
public LV names /dev/vg/lv for use with repair tools.
For this make the activation of _pmspare LV to be handled as
a component activation with public name.
Metadata is already atomatically activated this way (as readonly).
So if there is any 'error' happening, we leave public LVs in
system.
Last commit c38b668fc3 was pushed
with type 'scanf' instead of 'sscanf' needed for buffer reading.
Interestingly this caused scanning from 'stdin' descriptor and
thus failures in lvm shell usage.
The code in init_log_file relies on the process name (COMM) to not
contain whitespaces. This change fixes it by looking up the right-most
parenthesis to safely jump past COMM.

With 3596558861 it's been introduced
a more fine grained description.
However 'disabled' might be actually more confusing then empty field,
so keep only the info about 'not enabled'aka dmevend is not allowed
to monitor LV which otherwise could be monitored.
Update pool conversion function to handle also conversion of
thick LV to thin LV by moving thick LV into thin pool data LV
and creating fully provissioned thin LV on top of this volume.
Reworking existing conversion to use insert_layer_for_lv co
the uuid is now kept with thin-pool - this should however not
really matter as we are doing full deactivation & activation cycle.
With conversion to thin LV user can use same set of arguments
to set chunk-size.
TODO: add some smart code to decide best values for chunks sizes.
For proper functionality of insert_layer_for_lv we need to
move more bits to layerd LV.
Add some missing new types and correct usage of caller,
so the new LV type is set after the movement.
Validate cache origin in front of the prompt.
Also add some rules to command description file.
TODO:
more validation needed also for lvcreate,
more complex rules with "OR" seems to be needed.
Avoid activation when going to skip zeroing of 'error' segtype
(so it's not erroring out).
Also skip zeroing for 'zero' segtype LV (already being zero).
When lvm2 calculates the maximal usable COW size and crops the user
requested size to this value, don't return the error result from
the 'lvextend' operation.
We already apply the same logic when resizing thin-pool beyond
the supported maximal size.
FIXME: The return code error logic here is somewhat fuzzy.
This vdo parameter existed in the early stage of integration of vdo into lvm2,
but later it's been removed from vdoformat tool - so actually if
there would be any non-zero value it would cause error on lvcreate.
Option was not stored on disk in lvm2 metadata.
Remove this vdo parameter from lvm2 sources.
(Although this vdo parameter will be still accepted on cmdline through
--vdosettings option, but it will be ignored.)
Fix in the code that matches devices to system.devices entries when
the devices have the same serial number. A non-PV device in
system.devices has no pvid value, and the code was segfaulting
when checking the null pvid value.
In previous lvm versions, trailing spaces at the end of a t10 wwid would
be replaced with underscores, so the IDNAME string in system.devices
would look something like "t10.123_". Current versions of lvm ignore
trailing spaces in a t10 wwid, so the IDNAME string used would be
"t10.123". The different values would cause lvm to not recognize a
device in system.devices with the trailing _. Fix this by ignoring
trailing underscores in the IDNAME string from system.devices.
The recent fix 05c2b10c5d ensures that raid LV images are not
using the same devices. This was happening in the lvextend commands
used by this test, so fix the test to use more devices to ensue
redundancy.
In case of e.g. 3 PVs, creating or extending a RaidLV causes SubLV
collocation thus putting segments of diffent rimage (and potentially
larger rmeta) SubLVs onto the same PV. For redundant RaidLVs this'll
compromise redundancy. Fix by detecting such bogus allocation on
lvcreate/lvextend and reject the request.
lvreduce uses _lvseg_get_stripes() which was unable to get raid stripe
info with an integrity layer present. This caused lvreduce on a
raid+integrity LV to fail prematurely when checking stripe parameters.
An unhelpful error message about stripe size would be printed.
When lvmcache info is dropped because it's an md component,
then the lvmcache vginfo can also be dropped, but the list
iterator was still using the list head in vginfo, so break
from the loop earlier to avoid it.
There is no easy way to detect, whether device supports zeroing,
and kernel also zeroes device when it's not directly supported,
but with extra message:
operation not supported error, dev X, sector Y op 0x9:(WRITE_ZEROES)...
So to avoid generating such message with every 'lvcreate', use for
zeroing of upto 8K just standard write of zeroed page.
(maybe we can go with even larger sizes).
Instead of using size of 'empty header' in vdopool use fixed size 4K
for a 'wrappeing' vdo-pool device.
This fixes the issue when user tried to activate vdo-pool after
a conversion from vdo managed device with 'vgchange -ay' - where
this command activated all LVs with 'vdo-pool' wrapping device as well,
but this converted pool uses 0-length header.
This 4k size should usually prevent other tools like 'blkid' recognize
such device as anything - so it shouldn't cause any problems with
duplicate indentification of devices.
Remove old code that became incorrect at some point.
It's probably a fragment of an old condition that was left
behind because it wasn't understood. We don't want to drop
the MISSING_PV flag just because the PV has no mda in use.
The device that was missing may have stale data, so the user
needs to decide if the device should be removed or restored.
Replace spaces with \040 in directory paths from getmntent (mtab).
The recent commit 5374a44c57 compares mount point directory paths
from /etc/mtab and /proc/mounts, in order to detect when a mounted
LV has been renamed. The directory path comparison does not work
correctly when the path contains spaces because getmntent uses
ascii space chars and proc replaces spaces with \040.
Coverity is complaining about unchecked strcpy here, which is
irelevant as we preallocate buffer to fit in copied string,
however we could actually reuse these size and use just memcpy().
So lets make some simple conversions.
With the recent use of DEVLINKS, there is no longer any real
point in checking the filter for symlink names. Removing
this check should not change behavior with or without symlinks
in the filter.
"vgchange -aay --autoactivation event" is called by our udev rule.
When the udev rule runs, symlinks for devices may not all be created
yet. If the regex filter contains symlinks, it won't work correctly.
This command uses devices that already passed through pvscan. Since
pvscan applies the regex filter correctly, this command inherits the
filtering from pvscan and can skip the regex filter itself.
See the previous commit
"pvscan: use alternate device names from DEVLINKS to check filter"
pvscan --cache <dev> is called by our udev rule at a time when all
the symlinks for <dev> may not be created yet (by other udev rules.)
The regex filter in lvm.conf may refer to <dev> using a symlink name
that hasn't yet been created, which would cause <dev> to not match
the filter regex. The DEVLINKS env var, set by udev, contains all
the symlink names for <dev> that have been or will be created.
So, we add all these symlink names to dev->aliases, as if we had
found them in /dev. This allows <dev> to be recognized by a regex
filter containing a symlink for <dev>.
It looks like force was not being used to enable crypt resize,
but rather to force an inconsistency between LV and crypt
sizes, so this is either not needed or force in this case
should have some other meaning.
This reverts commit ed808a9b54.
Update previous commit
"lvresize: only resize crypt when fs resize is enabled"
to enable crypt resizing when --force is set and --resizefs
is not set. This is because it's been allowed in the past
and people have used it, but it's not a good idea.
There were a couple of cases where lvresize, without --fs resize,
was resizing the crypt layer above the LV. Resizing the crypt
layer should only be done when fs resizing is enabled (even if the
fs is already small enough due to being independently reduced.)
Also, check the size of the crypt device to see if it's already
been reduced independently, and skip the cryptsetup resize if
it's not needed.
Enhance checking vdo constains so it also handles changes of active VDO LVs
where only added difference is considered now.
For this also the reported informational message about used memory
was improved to only list consuming RAM blocks.
Introduce struct vdo_pool_size_config usable to calculate necessary
memory size for active VDO volume.
Function lv_vdo_pool_size_config() is able to read out this
configuration out of runtime DM table line.
Cover a case missed by the recent commit e0ea0706d
"report: query lvmlockd for lv_active_exclusively"
Fix the lv_active_exclusively value reported for thin LVs.
It's the thin pool that is locked in lvmlockd, and the thin
LV state was mistakenly being queried and not found.
Certain LV types like thin can only be activated exclusively, so
always report lv_active_exclusively true for these when active.
18722dfdf4 lvresize: restructure code
mistakenly changed the overprovisioning check from applying
to all lv_is_thin_type lvs to only lv_is_thin_pool lvs, so
it no longer applied when extending thin lvs. The result
was missing warning messages when extending thin lvs.
The recent change that verifies sys_serial system.devices entries
using the PVID did not exclude non-PV devices from being checked.
The verification code would attempt to use du->pvid which was null
for the non-PVs causing a segfault.

accurately and without side-effects whether a LV is remotely active.

users. Only for local VGs it can be definitely stated that they are not

Handle multiple devices using the same serial number as
their device id. After matching devices to devices file
entries, if there is a discrepency between the ondisk PVID
and the devices file PVID, then rematch devices to
devices file entries using PVID, looking at all disks
on the system with the same serial number.
Only /sys/dev/block/major:minor/device/serial was read to find
a disk serial number, but a serial number seems to be reported
more often in other locations, so check these also:
/sys/dev/block/major:minor/device/vpd_pg80
/sys/class/block/vda/serial (for virtio disks only)
The lvm dbus daemon will auto activate on dbus API calls. To

The number of extents for the sanlock lvmlock lv is calculated using
integer division, which rounds towards zero. With a physical extent size
of 129M, instead of the requested 256M the lv is only 129M (1 extent).
With any physical extent size greater than 256M the lv creation fails
because the number of extents is zero.
This is fixed by replacing the integer division with a division macro
that rounds up and thus guarantees that the size of the lv will always
be equal or greater than the requested size. Using the examples above, a
pes of 129M will result in a 258M lv (2 extents), pes of 300M in a 300M
lv (1 extent).
The re-calculation of the lv size in bytes and megabytes is only so the
debug output shows the correct values. The size in mb there is still
not byte-perfect-accurate, but good enough for a human-readable estimate;
and the exact size in bytes and extents is right next to it.

When executing process_each_lv_in_vg, we process live LVs first and
after that, we process any historical LVs. In case we have just removed
an LV, which also means we have just made it "historical" and so it
appears as fresh item in vg->historical_lvs list, we have to skip it
when we get to processing historical LVs inside the same process_each_lv_in_vg
call.
The simplest approach here, without introducing another LV list, is to
simply mark such historical LVs as "fresh" directly in struct
historical_logical_volume when we have just removed the original LV
and created the historical LV for it. Then, we just need to check the
flag when processing historical LVs and skip it if it is "fresh".
When we read historical LVs out of metadata, they are marked as
"not fresh" and so they can be processed as usual.
This was mainly an issue in conjuction with -S|--select use:
# lvmconfig --type diff
metadata {
record_lvs_history=1
}
(In this example, a thin pool with lvol1 thin LV and lvol2 and lvol3 snapshots.)
# lvs -H vg -o name,pool_lv,full_ancestors,full_descendants
LV Pool FAncestors FDescendants
lvol1 pool lvol2,lvol3
lvol2 pool lvol1 lvol3
lvol3 pool lvol2,lvol1
pool
# lvremove -S 'name=lvol2'
Logical volume "lvol2" successfully removed.
Historical logical volume "lvol2" successfully removed.
...here, the historical LV lvol2 should not have been removed because
we have just removed its original non-historical lvol2 and the fresh
historical lvol2 must not be included in the same processing spree.
The new device_id types are: wwid_naa, wwid_eui, wwid_t10.
The new types use the specific wwid type in their name.
lvm currently gets the values for these types by reading
the device's vpd_pg83 sysfs file (this could change in the
future if better methods become available for reading the
values.)
If a device is added to the devices file using one of these
types, prior versions of lvm will not recognize the types
and will be unable to use the devices.
When adding a new device, lvm continues to first use sys_wwid
from the sysfs wwid file. If the device has no sysfs wwid file,
lvm now attempts to use one of the new types from vpd_pg83.
If a devices file entry with type sys_wwid does not match a
given device's sysfs wwid file, the sys_wwid value will also
be compared to that device's other wwids from its vpd_pg83 file.
If the kernel changes the wwid type reported from the sysfs
wwid file, e.g. from a device's t10 id to its naa id, then lvm
should still be able to match it correctly using the vpd_pg83
data which will include both ids.
t10 wwids are now edited in the same way that multipath does,
which is replacing a series of spaces with one _. Previously
lvm replaced every space with one _. Devices file entries
with the old form will be converted to the new shorter form.
Move the functions handling dev wwids.
Add dev flags indicating that wwids have been read from
sysfs wwid file or sysfs vpd_pg83 file. This can be
used to avoid rereading these.
Improve filter-mpath search for a device's wwid in
/etc/multipath/wwids, to avoid unnecessary rereading
of wwids from sysfs files.
Type 8 wwids from vpd_pg83 with naa or eui names should be
saved as those types.
These files are automatically cleared on reboot given
that /run is tmpfs, and that remains the primary way
of clearing online files.
But, if there's extreme use of vgcreate+pvscan+vgremove
between reboots, then removing online files in vgremove
will limit the number of unused online files using space
in /run.
The new option "--fs String" for lvresize/lvreduce/lvextend
controls the handling of file systems before/after resizing
the LV. --resizefs is the same as --fs resize.
The new option "--fsmode String" can be used to control
mounting and unmounting of the fs during resizing.
Possible --fs values:
checksize
Only applies to reducing size; does nothing for extend.
Check the fs size and reduce the LV if the fs is not using
the affected space, i.e. the fs does not need to be shrunk.
Fail the command without reducing the fs or LV if the fs is
using the affected space.
resize
Resize the fs using the fs-specific resize command.
This may include mounting, unmounting, or running fsck.
See --fsmode to control mounting behavior, and --nofsck to
disable fsck.
resize_fsadm
Use the old method of calling fsadm to handle the fs
(deprecated.) Warning: this option does not prevent lvreduce
from destroying file systems that are unmounted (or mounted
if prompts are skipped.)
ignore
Resize the LV without checking for or handling a file system.
Warning: using ignore when reducing the LV size may destroy the
file system.
Possible --fsmode values:
manage
Mount or unmount the fs as needed to resize the fs,
and attempt to restore the original mount state at the end.
nochange
Do not mount or unmount the fs. If mounting or unmounting
is required to resize the fs, then do not resize the fs or
the LV and fail the command.
offline
Unmount the fs if it is mounted, and resize the fs while it
is unmounted. If mounting is required to resize the fs,
then do not resize the fs or the LV and fail the command.
Notes on lvreduce:
When no --fs or --resizefs option is specified:
. lvextend default behavior is fs ignore.
. lvreduce default behavior is fs checksize
(includes activating the LV.)
With the exception of --fs resize_fsadm|ignore, lvreduce requires
the recent libblkid fields FSLASTBLOCK and FSBLOCKSIZE.
FSLASTBLOCK*FSBLOCKSIZE is the last byte used by the fs on the LV,
which determines if reducing the fs is necessary.
Fix lv_active to be of BIN type instead of STR. This allows lv_active to
follow the report/binary_values_as_numeric setting as well as --binary
cmd line switch. Also, it makes it possible to use -S|--select with
either textual or numeric representation of the value, like 'lvs -S
active=active' but also 'lvs -S active=1'.
Take the devices file lock before creating a new devices file.
(Was missed by the change to preemptively create the devices
file prior to setup_devices(), which was done to improve the
error path.)
Names matching internal code layout.
Functionc in thin_manip.c uses thin_pool in its name.
Keep 'pool' only for function working for both cache and thin pools.
No change of functionality.
If we failed or logged anything before we actually execute given command
in lvm shell, we couldn't report the log using lastlog command after.
This patch adds specific 'pre-cmd' log report object type to identify
such log messages and enables lastlog to report even this log.
pvcreate with --uuid would segfault if a devices file entry matched
the specified pvid, but the devices file entry had no device_id, which
could happen if the entry has a devname idtype.
When the volume size is extended, there is no need to flush
IO operations (nothing can be targeting new space yet).
VDO target is supported as target that can safely work with
this condition.
Such support is also needed, when extending VDOPOOL size
while the pool is reaching its capacity - since this allows
to continue working without reaching 'out-of-space' condition
due to flushing of all in flight IO.
When we wanted to insert '#' before a config line (to comment it out),
we used dm_pool_strndup to temporarily copy the space prefix first so
we can assemble the final line with:
"<space_prefix># <key>=<value>":
out of original:
"<space_prefix><key>=<value>".
The space_prefix copy is not necessary, we can just use fprintf's
precision modifier "%.*s" to print the exact part if we alrady
know space_prefix length.
The new --valuesonly option causes the lvmconfig output to contain only
values without keys for each config node. This is practical mainly in
case where we use lvmconfig in scripts and we want to assign the value
to a different custom key or simply output the value itself without the
key.
For example:
# lvmconfig --type full activation/raid_fault_policy
raid_fault_policy="warn"
# lvmconfig --type full activation/raid_fault_policy --valuesonly
"warn"
# my_var=$(lvmconfig --type full activation/raid_fault_policy --valuesonly)
# echo $my_var
"warn"
Internally, NUM and BIN fields are marked as DM_REPORT_FIELD_TYPE_NUM_NUMBER
through libdevmapper API. The new 'json_std' format mandates that the report
string representing such a value must be a number, not an arbitrary string.
This is because numeric values in 'json_std' format do not have double quotes
around them. This practically means, we can't use string synonyms
("named reserved values") for such values and the report string must always
represent a proper number.
With 'json' and 'basic' formats, this is not an issue because 'basic' format
doesn't have any structure or typing at all and 'json' format puts all values
in quotes, including numeric ones.
When we tested lvm2, the kernel injected various random faults.

When lvcreate is makeing VDO pool and user has not specified -V size,
ATM we actually run 'vdoformat' twice to get properly 'extent' aligned
size matching lvm2 properties - so the 2nd. run of vdoformat actually
can stay with 'log_verbose()' so the standard printed result
is not showing confusing info (which is now also correctly using
print_unless_silent)
The 'pe_start' column was incorrectly marked as being of type NUM.
This was not correct as pe_start is actually of type SIZ, which means
it can have a size suffix and hence it's not a pure numeric value.
Proper column type is important for selection to work correctly, so we
can also do comparisons while using suffixes.
This is also important for new "json_std" output format which does not
put double quotes around pure numeric values. With pe_start incorrectly
marked as NUM instead of SIZ, this produced invalid JSON output
like '"pe_start" = 1.00m' because it contained the 'm' (or other)
size suffix. If properly marked as SIZ, this is then put in double
quotes like '"pe_start" = "1.00m"'.
multipath_component_detection=0 has always applied to the filter-based
component detection. Also apply this setting to the duplicate-PV
handling which also eliminates multipath components (based on duplicate
PVs having the same wwid.)
When creating VDO pool based of % values, lvm2 is now more clever
and avoids to create 'unsupportable' sizes of physical backend
volumes as 16TiB is maximum size supported by VDO target
(and also limited by maximum supportable slabs (8192) based on slab
size.
If the requested virtual size is approaching max supported size 4PiB,
switch header size to 0.
Newer VDO kernel target require to have matching virtual size - this
however cause incompatiblity when lvcreate is let to format VDO data
device and read the usable size from vdoformat.
Altough this is a kernel regression and will likely get fixed,
lvm2 can actually reformat VDO device to use properly aligned VDO LV
size to make this problem disappear.
Add function to check for avaialble memory for particular VDO
configuration - to avoid unnecessary machine swapping for configs
that will not fit into memory (possibly in locked section).
Formula tries to estimate RAM size machine can use also with
swapping for kernel target - but still leaving some amount of
usable RAM.
Estimation is based on documented RAM usage of VDO target.
If the /proc/meminfo would be theoretically unavailable, try to use
'sysinfo()' function, however this is giving only free RAM without
the knowledge about how much RAM could be eventually swapped.
TODO: move _get_memory_info() into generic lvm2 API function used
by other targets with non-trivial memory requirements.
Keep single source for most of values printed in lvm.conf
(still needs some conversion)
Correct max for logical threads to 60
(we may refuse some older configuration which might eventually
user higher numbers - but so far let's assume no user have ever set this
as it's been non-trivial and if would complicate code unnecessarily.)
Accept maximum of 4PiB for virtual size of VDO LV
(lvm2 will drop 'header borders to 0 for this case').
to compare with wwids in /etc/multipath/wwids when
excluding multipath components. The wwid printed
from the sysfs wwid file may not be the wwid used
in multipath wwids. Save the wwids found for each
device on dev->wwids to avoid repeating reading
and parsing the sysfs files.
Fixes commit 494372b4ee
"filter-mpath: use multipath blacklist"
to handle wwids with initial type digits 1 and 2 used
for t10 and eui ids. Originally recognized type 3 naa.
A typo of the filename after --devicesfile should result in a
command error rather than the command falling back to using no
devices file at all. Exception is vgcreate|pvcreate which
create a new devices file if the file name doesn't exist.
Explicit wwid's from these sections control whether the
same wwid in /etc/multipath/wwids is recognized as a
multipath component. Other non-wwid keywords are not
used, and may require disabling the use of the multipath
wwids file in lvm.conf.
Change messages that refer to devices being "excluded by filters"
to say just "excluded". This will avoid mistaking the word
"filters" with the lvm.conf filter setting.
Warn if a scsi device is listed in the devices file that
is used by a multipath device that is not listed. This
will happen if a scsi device is listed in the devices
file and then an mpath device is set up to use it.
The way to correct this would be to remove the devices
file entry for the component device and add a new entry
for the multipath device.
When thin-pool had queued some delete message on extension operation
such message has been 'lost' and thin-pool kernel metadata has been
left with a thin volume that no longer existed for lvm2 metadata.
dev_name(dev) returns "[unknown]" if there are no names
on dev->aliases. It's meant mainly for log messages.
Many places assume a valid path name is returned, and
use it directly. A caller that wants to use the path
from dev_name() must first check if the dev has any
paths with dm_list_empty(&dev->aliases).
Use dev_cache_get_existing() in a few common, high level
locations where it's obvious that only existing dev-cache
entries are wanted. This can be expanded and used in more
locations (or dev_cache_get can stop creating new entries.)
