Since we use get_status also in dmeventd, which may use one pool
for a single device, in case it would be repeatedly returning error,
it may not be freeing the pool and would cause slow but steady growth.
To stay safe in the error path release any allocated memory.
To detect mounted device, use also /proc/self/mountinfo
as so far the check was only able to detect ext4 mounted filesystem.
TODO:
Once proper testing for this feature is added, it may appear,
mountinfo check is enough and covers all cases and sysfs check
could be removed.
'lvchange' is used to alter a RAID 1 logical volume's write-mostly and
write-behind characteristics. The '--writemostly' parameter takes a
PV as an argument with an optional trailing character to specify whether
to set ('y'), unset ('n'), or toggle ('t') the value. If no trailing
character is given, it will set the flag.
Synopsis:
lvchange [--writemostly <PV>:{t|y|n}] [--writebehind <count>] vg/lv
Example:
lvchange --writemostly /dev/sdb1:y --writebehind 512 vg/raid1_lv
The last character in the 'lv_attr' field is used to show whether a device
has the WriteMostly flag set. It is signified with a 'w'. If the device
has failed, the 'p'artial flag has priority.
Example ("nosync" raid1 with mismatch_cnt and writemostly):
[~]# lvs -a --segment vg
LV VG Attr #Str Type SSize
raid1 vg Rwi---r-m 2 raid1 500.00m
[raid1_rimage_0] vg Iwi---r-- 1 linear 500.00m
[raid1_rimage_1] vg Iwi---r-w 1 linear 500.00m
[raid1_rmeta_0] vg ewi---r-- 1 linear 4.00m
[raid1_rmeta_1] vg ewi---r-- 1 linear 4.00m
Example (raid1 with mismatch_cnt, writemostly - but failed drive):
[~]# lvs -a --segment vg
LV VG Attr #Str Type SSize
raid1 vg rwi---r-p 2 raid1 500.00m
[raid1_rimage_0] vg Iwi---r-- 1 linear 500.00m
[raid1_rimage_1] vg Iwi---r-p 1 linear 500.00m
[raid1_rmeta_0] vg ewi---r-- 1 linear 4.00m
[raid1_rmeta_1] vg ewi---r-p 1 linear 4.00m
A new reportable field has been added for writebehind as well. If
write-behind has not been set or the LV is not RAID1, the field will
be blank.
Example (writebehind is set):
[~]# lvs -a -o name,attr,writebehind vg
LV Attr WBehind
lv rwi-a-r-- 512
[lv_rimage_0] iwi-aor-w
[lv_rimage_1] iwi-aor--
[lv_rmeta_0] ewi-aor--
[lv_rmeta_1] ewi-aor--
Example (writebehind is not set):
[~]# lvs -a -o name,attr,writebehind vg
LV Attr WBehind
lv rwi-a-r--
[lv_rimage_0] iwi-aor-w
[lv_rimage_1] iwi-aor--
[lv_rmeta_0] ewi-aor--
[lv_rmeta_1] ewi-aor--
Revert commit 31c24dd9f2. This commit
was used to force a RAID device-mapper table to be loaded into the
kernel despite the fact that it was identical to the one already
loaded. The effect allowed a RAID array with a transiently failed
device to refresh and reintegrate the failed device. This operation
is better done in the kernel on a 'resume'. Since,
'lvchange --refresh' already performs a suspend/resume cycle, the
above commit is not needed once the kernel change is made. Reverting
the commit removes an unnecessary (at least for now) change to the
device-mapper interface.
I've updated the dm_status_raid structure and dm_get_status_raid()
function to make it handle the new kernel status fields that will
be coming in dm-raid v1.5.0. It is backwards compatible with the
old status line - initializing the new fields to '0'. The new
structure is also more amenable to future changes. It includes a
'reserved' field that is currently initialized to zero but could
be used to hold flags describing new features. It also now uses
pointers for the character strings instead of attempting to allocate
their space along with the structure (causing the size of the
structure to be variable). This allows future fields to be appended.
The new fields that are available are:
- sync_action : shows what the sync thread in the kernel is doing
(idle, frozen, resync, recover, check, repair, or
reshape)
- mismatch_count: shows the number of discrepancies which were
found or repaired by a "check" or "repair"
process, respectively.
Previous commit included changes to WHATSNEW, but the code changes
were missing. Here is the description from the previous commit:
commit bbc6378b73
Author: Jonathan Brassow <jbrassow@redhat.com>
Date: Thu Feb 21 11:31:36 2013 -0600
RAID: Make 'lvchange --refresh' restore transiently failed RAID PVs
A new function (dm_tree_node_force_identical_table_reload) was added to
avoid the suppression of identical table reloads. This allows RAID LVs
to reload the on-disk superblock information that contains which devices
have failed and the bitmaps. If the failed device has returned, this has
the effect of restoring the device and initiating recovery. Without this
patch, the user had to completely deactivate their RAID LV and re-activate
it in order to restore the failed device. Now they simply need to
suspend and resume (which is done by 'lvchange --refresh').
The identical table suppression is only avoided if the LV is not PARTAIL
(i.e. all of it's devices can be seen and read by LVM) and the kernel
status of the array contains failed devices. In other words, the function
will only be called in the case where we may have success in restoring
a failed device in the array.
There's a possibility to interconnect the dm_config_node with an
ID, which in our case is used to reference the configuration
definition ID from config_settings.h. So simply interconnecting
struct dm_config_node with struct cfg_def_item.
This patch also adds support for enhanced config node output besides
existing "output line by line". This patch adds a possibility to
register a callback that gets called *before* the config node is
processed line by line (for example to include any headers on output)
and *after* the config node is processed line by line (to include any
footers on output). Also, it adds the config node reference itself
as the callback arg in addition to have a possibility to extract more
information from the config node itself if needed when processing the
output callback (e.g. the key name, the id, or whether this is a
section or a value etc...).
If the config node from lvm.conf/--config tree is recognized and valid,
it's always coupled with the config node definition ID from
config_settings.h:
struct dm_config_node {
int id;
const char *key;
struct dm_config_node *parent, *sib, *child;
struct dm_config_value *v;
}
For example if the dm_config_node *cn holds "devices/dev" configuration,
then the cn->id holds "devices_dev_CFG" ID from config_settings.h, -1 if
not found in config_settings.h and 0 if matching has not yet been done.
To support the enhanced config node output, a new structure has been
defined in libdevmapper to register it:
struct dm_config_node_out_spec {
dm_config_node_out_fn prefix_fn; /* called before processing config node lines */
dm_config_node_out_fn line_fn; /* called for each config node line */
dm_config_node_out_fn suffix_fn; /* called after processing config node lines */
};
Where dm_config_node_out_fn is:
typedef int (*dm_config_node_out_fn)(const struct dm_config_node *cn, const char *line, void *baton);
(so in comparison to existing callbacks for config node output, it has
an extra dm_config_node *cn arg in addition)
This patch also adds these functions to libdevmapper:
- dm_config_write_node_out
- dm_config_write_one_node_out
...which have exactly the same functionality as their counterparts
without the "out" suffix. The "*_out" functions adds the extra hooks
for enhanced config output (prefix_fn and suffix_fn mentioned above).
One can still use the old interface for config node output, this is
just an enhancement for those who'd like to modify the output more
extensively.
Export this functionality from libdevmapper just for
convenience and general use when reading boolean values
which could be defined either in a numeric way with 0/1
or by using strings with "true"/"false", "yes"/"no",
"on"/"off", "y"/"n".
When a section was empty in a configuration tree (no children - this is
allowed) and we were looking for a config node inside that section, the
_find_config_node function incorrectly returned the section itself if
the node inside that section was not found.
For example the configuration below:
The config:
abc {
}
And a function call to get the "def" node inside "abc" section:
_find_config_node(..., "abc/def")
...returned the "abc" node instead of NULL ("def" not found).
This in turn caused segfaults in the code using lookups in such
a configuration tree as we (correctly) expected that the node
returned was always the one we were looking for or NULL if not
found. But if incorrect node was returned instead, we processed
that as if this was the node we were looking for and so we
processed its value as well. But sections don't have values => segfault.
On glibc, those are erroneously (namespace pollution) pulled in via
other headers. this doesn't work with conformant libcs (musl libc in
this case), we simply need to include all needed headers.

Similar to the way thin* accesses its kernel status, we add a method
for RAID to grab the various values in its status output without the
higher levels (LVM) having to understand how to parse the output.
Added functions include:
- lib/activate/dev_manager.c:dev_manager_raid_status()
Pulls the status line from the kernel
- libdm/libdm-deptree.c:dm_get_status_raid()
Parses status line and puts components into dm_status_raid struct
- lib/activate/activate.c:lv_raid_dev_health()
Accesses dm_status_raid to deliver raid dev_health string
The new structure and functions can provide a more unified way to access
status information. ('lv_raid_percent' could switch to using these
functions, for example.)
Add log/debug_classes to lvm.conf to allow debug messages to be
classified and filtered at runtime.
The dm_errno field is only used by log_error(), so I've redefined it
for log_debug() messages to hold the message class.
By default, all existing messages appear, but we can add categories that
generate high volumes of data, such as logging all traffic to/from
lvmetad.
If the resume of preloaded node fails, do not leave such
node in the table - since it may not be easy to detach such
node later when the node is i.e. internal.
i.e. failing activation of the thin pool with mismatching
chunk size may leave -tpool device in the table, which
could have been then removed only by dmsetup command.
$ export DM_DISABLE_UDEV=1
$ dmsetup create test --table "0 1 zero"
Udev is running and DM_DISABLE_UDEV environment variable is set. Bypassing udev, device-mapper library will manage device nodes in device directory.
$ lvchange -ay vg/lvol0
Udev is running and DM_DISABLE_UDEV environment variable is set. Bypassing udev, LVM will manage logical volume symlinks in device directory.
Udev is running and DM_DISABLE_UDEV environment variable is set. Bypassing udev, LVM will obtain device list by scanning device directory.
Udev is running and DM_DISABLE_UDEV environment variable is set. Bypassing udev, device-mapper library will manage device nodes in device directory.
Setting this environment variable will cause a full fallback
to old direct node and symlink management in libdevmapper and lvm2.
It means:
- disabling udev synchronization
(--noudevsync in dmsetup and --noudevsync + activation/udev_sync=0
lvm2 config)
- disabling dm and any subsystem related udev rules
(--noudevrules in dmsetup and activation/udev_rules=0 lvm2 config)
- management of nodes/symlinks under /dev directly by libdevmapper/lvm2
(--verifyudev in dmsetup and activation/verify_udev_operations=1
lvm2 config)
- not obtaining any device list from udev database
(devices/obtain_device_list_from_udev=0 lvm2 config)
Note: we could set all of these before - there's no functional change!
However the DM_DISABLE_UDEV environment variable is a nice shortcut
to make it easier for libdevmapper users so that one can switch off all
of the udev management off at one go directly on the command line,
without a need to modify any source or add any extra switches.
cookie_set variable found in the struct dm_task should be always
set to 1 after dm_task_set_cookie_call, even if udev_sync is disabled
as the cookie itself carries synchronization informations *as well as*
extra flags to control other aspects of udev support.
For example, one could disable the synchronization itself, but still
direct the libdm code to disable library fallback via
DM_UDEV_DISABLE_LIBRARY_FALLBACK flag. These extra flags still need
to be carried out!
A concrete example:
$ dmsetup create test --table "0 1 zero" --noudevsync
This disables synchronization with udev. As the --verifyudev option is
not used, we don't want to do any corrections. In other words, we
need DM_UDEV_DISABLE_LIBRARY_FALLBACK flag to be used. However,
with --noudevsync this was not the case - the flag was ignored!
This patch fixes the case when noudevsync is used but there are still
some extra flags passed within the cookie flag part. The synchronization
part of the cookie stays zero (which is ok as dm_udev_wait call on such a
cookie is simply a NOOP).
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.
On each ioctl return, the device UUID is decoded from \xNN format.
If the UUID of the device being *removed* is malformed (e.g. it
hasn't been corrected before), just remove it without any error
as the UUID is not needed anymore - the device is gone anyway.
Otherwise a misleading error message would be issued just after
the removal:
# dmsetup remove test
The UUID "a b" should be mangled but it contains blacklisted characters.
Command failed
Just like we already have existing mangling support for
device-mapper names, we need exactly the same for device-mapper
UUIDs as their character whitelist is wider than what udev supports.
In case udev is used to create entries in /dev based on UUIDs
and these UUIDs contain characters not supported by udev,
we'll end up with incorrect /dev content for such devices.
So we need to mangle them to a form that is supported by udev.
The mangling used for UUIDs follows the mangling used for names
(that is already supported and used throughout). That means,
setting the name mangling mode via dm_set_name_mangling_mode
affects mangling used for UUIDs in exactly the same manner.
It would be useless to add a new and separate
dm_set_uuid_mangling_mode fn, we'll reuse existing interface.
(un)mangle_name -> (un)mangle_string
check_multiple_mangled_name_allowed -> check_multiple_mangled_string_allowed
Just for clarity as the same functions will be reused to (un)mangle dm UUIDs.
Patch clears the flag if thin pool is stacked over mirror.
Since thin pool could be used to stack device over mirrors,
it needs resume properly i.e. mirrors with corelog which are otherwise
unconditionally skipped (for pvmove functionality).
If we were defining a section (which is a node without a value) and
the value was created automatically on dm_config_create_node call,
we were wasting resources as the next step after creating the config
node itself was assigning NULL for the node's value.
The dm_config_node_create + dm_config_create_value sequence should be
used instead for settings and dm_config_node_create alone for sections.
The majority of the code already used the correct sequence. Though
with dm_config_node_create fn creating the value as well, the pool
memory was being trashed this way.
This patch removes the node value initialization on dm_config_create_node
fn call and keeps it for the direct dm_config_create_value fn call.
This patch adds support for RAID10. It is not the default at this
stage. The user needs to specify '--type raid10' if they would like
RAID10 instead of stacked mirror over stripe.
Adding couple INTERNAL_ERROR reports for unwanted parameters:
Ensure the 'top' metadata node cannot be NULL for lvmetad.

Check for report handler in dm_report_object().
Check missing VG in _vgreduce_single().
A regression introduced in 2.02.89 (11e520256b)
caused the lvm dumpconfig <node> to print out
the node as well as its subsequent siblings.
The information about "only_one" mode got lost.
Before this patch (just an example node):
# lvm dumpconfig global/use_lvmetad
use_lvmetad=1
thin_check_executable="/usr/sbin/thin_check"
thin_check_options="-q"
(...all nodes to the end of the section)
With this patch applied:
# lvm dumpconfig global/use_lvmetad
use_lvmetad=1
With latest changes in the udev, some deprecated functions were removed
from libudev amongst which there was the "udev_get_dev_path" function
we used to compare a device directory used in udev and directore set in
libdevmapper. The "/dev" is hardcoded in udev now (udev version >= 183).
Amongst other changes and from packager's point of view, it's also
important to note that the libudev development library ("libudev-devel")
could now be a part of the systemd development library ("systemd-devel")
because of the udev + systemd merge.
Auto mode can't deal with multiple mangled names. We can do that while working
in hex mode, but in auto mode, this would lead to device name ambiguity.
Be more strict when unmangling names on ioctl return - require the name to be
properly mangled in 'auto' and 'hex' mode. There really should not be any
blacklisted character since the names should be renamed already (by means of
renaming it directly or running 'dmsetup mangle' for automatic rename).
if the thin_check fail on thin pool - still return successful deactivation,
since lvremove would currently fail.
TODO: find some way to not run check with lvremove.
Add some hack math to allow 16GB devices to be passed as thinpool metadata.
Since kernel has put in limit to not allow which are just bigger then
some predefined constant in kernel but not matching 16GB so any device bigger
is rejected.
FIXME: Current code still might need more tweaks to be more generic.
Since lvm seems to call driver_version(NULL, 0) this would lead
to crash. Though the combination of the code is probably very hard to hit.
If the user doesn't supply version buffer, just skip printing to buffer.
pvcreate gives
WARNING: Ignoring unsupported value for metadata/pvmetadataignore.
It was warning if there is no config file entry instead of only if the node
exists but is empty.
Should be faster then strncpy - since we could avoid clearing 4KB pages
with each strncpy(...,PATH_MAX).
Also it's easy to check whether string fit - and eventually avoid
to continue working we incomplete string.
If we have good enough glibc to return number of needed chars, do not
loop try to reach good size, but use this size directly for allocation,
saving also last strdup.
Since now we start with 16 bytes - skip buffer realloc for shorter string.
Device-mapper in kernel uses '\' as escape character so it's better
to double it to avoid any confusion when using existing device names
with '\' in the table specification.
For example:
dmsetup create x --table "0 8 linear /dev/mapper/a\x20b 0"
should pass just fine now without a need to explicitly escape the '\' char
like this:
dmsetup create x --table "0 8 linear /dev/mapper/a\\x20b 0"
If dm_task_get_name or dm_task_get_names gets called, these will return
unmangled form of the names so the name mangling stays totally transparent
to any libdevmapper user (unless DM_STRING_MANGLING_NONE is used in which
case the name is not touched and it is is returned as it is in kernel).
For example:
dmsetup create "a b" - will create a\x20b device in kernel and so udev will
create /dev/mapper/a\x20b
dm_task_get_name/names will still return "a b"
In AUTO mode, the libdevmapper user can still query the device by using
the mangled ("a\x20b") or unmangled form of the name when calling dm_task_set_name.
If mangled name is provided, it's detected and the name is kept as it is.
If unmangled name is provided, it will be mangled. IOW in AUTO mode it's
totally transparent and it should not require any changes in the code
using libdevmapper.
However, any libdevmapper user must be aware of the fact that the mangled form
of the name appears in /dev/mapper (udev just can't deal with those blacklisted
characters).
dm_task_get_name_mangled will always return mangled form of the name while
the dm_task_get_name_unmangled will always return unmangled form of the name
irrespective of the global setting (dm_set/get_name_mangling_mode).
This is handy in situations where we need to detect whether the name is already
mangled or not. Also display functions make use of it.
Use the DEV_NAME macro to use the mangled form of the name if present,
use normal name otherwise (we store both forms - mangled and unmangled in
struct dm_task). Mangled form should be always preferred over unmangled
with the exception of the situations where we divide one task into several
others (like "create and load") - we need to avoid mangling the name twice
(because of multiple dm_task_set_name calls)!
If dm_task_set_name/newname is called, the name provided will be
automatically translated to correct encoded form with the hex enconding
so any character not on udev whitelist will be mangled with \xNN
format where NN is hex value of the character used.
By default, the name mangling mode used is the one set during
configure with the '--with-default-name-mangling' option.
This option configures the default name mangling mode used, one of:
AUTO, NONE and HEX.
The name mangling is primarily used to support udev character whitelist
(0-9, A-Z, a-z, #*-.:=@_) so any character that is not on udev whitelist
will get translated into an encoded form \xNN where NN is the hex value
of the character.
It was not possible to pass down the DM_[FORCE|NO]SYNC flags to
'dm_tree_node_add_raid_target'. This meant that converting to 'raid1' from
'mirror' would cause a full resync. (It also meant that '--nosync' was
ineffective when creating a 'raid1' LV.)
I've taken the 'reserved' parameter in 'dm_tree_node_add_raid_target' and
used it for the "flags" parameter. Now it is possible to pass the sync
flags and any other flags that may come up.
In case of zero bytes would be read from sysfs, it would store '\0' on
temp_buf[-1] address.
Simplify some buffer length calculation and use strcpy if we've just
checked string fits in give buffer.
Replace jump label error: with bad: commonly used in libdm.
Replace asserts with test for failing memory allocation.
Add at least stack traces.
Index counter starts from 1 (0 reserved for error), so replacing fingerprint.
Since the function dm_get_next_target() returns NULL as 'next' pointer
so it's not a 'real' error - set 0 to all parameters when NULL is
returned because of missing head.
i.e. one of use case::
do {
next = dm_get_next_target(dmt, next, &start, &length,
&target_type, ¶ms);
size += length;
} while (next);
Using PRELOAD part would lead to problems when the problem
would happen before vg_write and vg_commit.
Also this change is necessary for snapshot creation sequence.
This is accomplished by reading associated sysfs information. For a dm device,
this is /sys/dev/block/major:minor/dm/name (supported in kernel version >= 2.6.29,
for older kernels, the behaviour is the same as for non-dm devices).
For a non-dm device, this is a readlink on /sys/dev/block/major:minor, e.g.
/sys/dev/block/253:0 --> ../../devices/virtual/block/dm-0.
The last component of the path is a proper kernel name (block device name).
One can request to read only kernel names by setting the 'prefer_kernel_name'
argument if needed.
LVM- prefix.
Try harder not to leave stray empty devices around (locally or remotely) when
reverting changes after failures while there are inactive tables.
If we know major:minor number of device (which is known after resume) we will
try to use sysfs to set/get read ahead parameters of device.
This avoid potential problem of blocking commands like 'dmsetup info' awaiting
for device being usable for open/close - i.e. overfilled thin pool may block
such command.
Add dm_get_status_thin_pool and dm_get_status_thin functions to
parse 'params' argument which is received via dm_get_next_target.
Returns filed structure allocated from given mempool.
RAID is not like traditional LVM mirroring. LVM mirroring required failed
devices to be removed or the logical volume would simply hang. RAID arrays can
keep on running with failed devices. In fact, for RAID types other than RAID1,
removing a device would mean substituting an error target or converting to a
lower level RAID (e.g. RAID6 -> RAID5, or RAID4/5 to RAID0). Therefore, rather
than removing a failed device unconditionally and potentially allocating a
replacement, RAID allows the user to "replace" a device with a new one. This
approach is a 1-step solution vs the current 2-step solution.

for activation of thin which is going to be deleted.
For now we do not need it lvm.
Add a new node flag send_messages that is used to simplify
test when to call _node_send_messages().
Add call to _node_send_messages when pool is deeper in the tree.
There should be no need for retry for our internal devices - it would be hinding
our own bug in the tree processing.
Update error messages to show also also device name.
No WHATS_NEW - in release fix.
When DEBUG_MEM is used, the memory is trashed with extra pattern before real
free() is called, and as this memory was marked as non accessible when used with
valgrind, make it again usable.
Certain errno codes could be expected in some situations thus
add experimental support for them.
When expected errno is set after ioctl error - function skips error
printing and exits succefully.
Currently only useful for thin pool messages.
Version 2 of the userspace log protocol accepts return information during the
DM_ULOG_CTR exchange. The return information contains the name of the log
device that is being used (if there is one). The kernel can then register the
device via 'dm_get_device'. Amoung other things, this allows for userspace to
assemble a correct dependency tree of devices - critical for LVM handling of
suspend/resume calls.
Also, update dm-log-userspace.h to match the kernel header associated with
this protocol change. (Includes a version inc.)
The upstream kernel version that this file mirrors has changed, here is the

dm log userspace: add version number to comms
This patch adds a 'version' field to the 'dm_ulog_request'
structure.
The 'version' field is taken from a portion of the unused
'padding' field in the 'dm_ulog_request' structure. This
was done to avoid changing the size of the structure and
possibly disrupting backwards compatibility.
The version number will help notify user-space daemons
when a change has been made to the kernel/userspace
log API.

The current code does not always assign proper udev flags to sub-LVs (e.g.
mirror images and log LVs). This shows up especially during a splitmirror
operation in which an image is split off from a mirror to form a new LV.
A mirror with a disk log is actually composed of 4 different LVs: the 2
mirror images, the log, and the top-level LV that "glues" them all together.
When a 2-way mirror is split into two linear LVs, two of those LVs must be
removed. The segments of the image which is not split off to form the new
LV are transferred to the top-level LV. This is done so that the original
LV can maintain its major/minor, UUID, and name. The sub-lv from which the
segments were transferred gets an error segment as a transitory process
before it is eventually removed. (Note that if the error target was not put
in place, a resume_lv would result in two LVs pointing to the same segment!
If the machine crashes before the eventual removal of the sub-LV, the result
would be a residual LV with the same mapping as the original (now linear) LV.)
So, the two LVs that need to be removed are now the log device and the sub-LV
with the error segment. If udev_flags are not properly set, a resume will
cause the error LV to come up and be scanned by udev. This causes I/O errors.
Additionally, when udev scans sub-LVs (or former sub-LVs), it can cause races
when we are trying to remove those LVs. This is especially bad during failure
conditions.
When the mirror is suspended, the top-level along with its sub-LVs are
suspended. The changes (now 2 linear devices and the yet-to-be-removed log
and error LV) are committed. When the resume takes place on the original
LV, there are no longer links to the other sub-lvs through the LVM metadata.
The links are implicitly handled by querying the kernel for a list of
dependencies. This is done in the '_add_dev' function (which is recursively
called for each dependency found) - called through the following chain:
_add_dev
dm_tree_add_dev_with_udev_flags
<*** DM / LVM divide ***>
_add_dev_to_dtree
_add_lv_to_dtree
_create_partial_dtree
_tree_action
dev_manager_activate
_lv_activate_lv
_lv_resume
lv_resume_if_active
When udev flags are calculated by '_get_udev_flags', it is done by referencing
the 'logical_volume' structure. Those flags are then passed down into
'dm_tree_add_dev_with_udev_flags', which in turn passes them to '_add_dev'.
Unfortunately, when '_add_dev' is finding the dependencies, it has no way to
calculate their proper udev_flags. This is because it is below the DM/LVM
divide - it doesn't have access to the logical_volume structure. In fact,
'_add_dev' simply reuses the udev_flags given for the initial device! This
virtually guarentees the udev_flags are wrong for all the dependencies unless
they are reset by some other mechanism. The current code provides no such
mechanism. Even if '_add_new_lv_to_dtree' were called on the sub-devices -
which it isn't - entries already in the tree are simply passed over, failing
to reset any udev_flags. The solution must retain its implicit nature of
discovering dependencies and be able to go back over the dependencies found
to properly set the udev_flags.
My solution simply calls a new function before leaving '_add_new_lv_to_dtree'
that iterates over the dtree nodes to properly reset the udev_flags of any
children. It is important that this function occur after the '_add_dev' has
done its job of querying the kernel for a list of dependencies. It is this
list of children that we use to look up their respective LVs and properly
calculate the udev_flags.
This solution has worked for single machine, cluster, and cluster w/ exclusive
activation.
Make limits for thin data_block_size and device_id part of public API.
FIXME: read them possible from some kernel header file in the future ?
But we may need to support different values for different versions ?
Since it's internal function and we always check for NULL value
before call - this is safe.
Just for case add nonnull attribute so analyzer might better
catch error.
It's 100% equivalent test - since it always happen for the first iteration.
But the check for 'l' is understandable with analyzers - since analyzer
is not smart enough to deduce connection between root->child == NULL.
Before, we used to display "Can't remove open logical volume" which was
generic. There 3 possibilities of how a device could be opened:
- used by another device
- having a filesystem on that device which is mounted
- opened directly by an application
With the help of sysfs info, we can distinguish the first two situations.
The third one will be subject to "remove retry" logic - if it's opened
quickly (e.g. a parallel scan from within a udev rule run), this will
finish quickly and we can remove it once it has finished. If it's a
legitimate application that keeps the device opened, we'll do our best
to remove the device, but we will fail finally after a few retries.
Add dm_device_has_mounted_fs fn to check mounted filesystem on a device.
This requires sysfs directory to be correctly set via dm_set_sysfs_dir
(/sys by default). If sysfs dir is not used or it's set incorrectly,
dm_device_has_{holders,mounted_fs} will return 0!
Transfer of build_dm_uuid() function into libdm made uuid_prefix as parameter,
thus sizeof() was replaced with strlen() and room for '\0' missed.
As it's only fix in current version - no whatsnew.
This is a workaround for long-lasting problem with using the WATCH udev
rule. When trying to remove a DM device, this one can still be opened
while processing the event in parallel (generated based on the WATCH
udev rule).
Let's use this until we have a proper solution.
Makes dumpconfig whole-section output wrong in a different way from before,
but we should be able to merge cft_cmdline properly into cmd->cft now and
remove cascade.
functionality. A number of bugs (copied and pasted all over the code) should
disappear:
- most string lookup based on dm_config_find_node would segfault when
encountering a non-zero integer (the intention there was to print an
error message instead)
- check for required sections in metadata would have been satisfied by
values as well (i.e. not sections)
- encountering a section in place of expected flag value would have
segfaulted (due to assumed but unchecked cn->v != NULL)
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.
This patch adds the ability to upconvert a raid1 array - say from 2-way to
3-way. It does not yet support upconverting linear to n-way.
The 'raid' device-mapper target allows for individual components (images) of
an array to be specified for rebuild. This mechanism is used when adding
new images to the array so that the new images can be resync'ed while the
rest of the images in the array can remain 'in-sync'. (There is no
mirror-on-mirror layering required.)
~> lvconvert --splitmirrors 1 --trackchanges vg/lv
The '--trackchanges' option allows a user the ability to use an image of
a RAID1 array for the purposes of temporary read-only access. The image
can be merged back into the array at a later time and only the blocks that
have changed in the array since the split will be resync'ed. This
operation can be thought of as a partial split. The image is never completely
extracted from the array, in that the array reserves the position the device
occupied and tracks the differences between the array and the split image via
a bitmap. The image itself is rendered read-only and the name (<LV>_rimage_*)
cannot be changed. The user can complete the split (permanently splitting the
image from the array) by re-issuing the 'lvconvert' command without the
'--trackchanges' argument and specifying the '--name' argument.
~> lvconvert --splitmirrors 1 --name my_split vg/lv
Merging the tracked image back into the array is done with the '--merge'
option (included in a follow-on patch).
~> lvconvert --merge vg/lv_rimage_<n>
The internal mechanics of this are relatively simple. The 'raid' device-
mapper target allows for the specification of an empty slot in an array
via '- -'. This is what will be used if a partial activation of an array
is ever required. (It would also be possible to use 'error' targets in
place of the '- -'.) If a RAID image is found to be both read-only and
visible, then it is considered separate from the array and '- -' is used
to hold it's position in the array. So, all that needs to be done to
temporarily split an image from the array /and/ cause the kernel target's
bitmap to track (aka "mark") changes made is to make the specified image
visible and read-only. To merge the device back into the array, the image
needs to be returned to the read/write state of the top-level LV and made
invisible.
Adding debuging functionality to lock and unlock memory pool.
2 ways to debug code:
crc - is default checksum/hash of the locked pool.
It gets slower when the pool is larger - so the check is only
made when VG is finaly released and it has been used more then
once.Thus the result is rather informative.
mprotect - quite fast all the time - but requires more memory and
currently it is using posix_memalign() - this could be
later modified to use dm_malloc() and align internally.
Tool segfaults when locked memory is modified and core
could be examined for faulty code section (backtrace).
Only fast memory pools could use mprotect for now -
so such debug builds cannot be combined with DEBUG_POOL.
Implementation described in doc/lvm2-raid.txt.
Basic support includes:
- ability to create RAID 1/4/5/6 arrays
- ability to delete RAID arrays
- ability to display RAID arrays
Notable missing features (not included in this patch):
- ability to clean-up/repair failures
- ability to convert RAID segment types
- ability to monitor RAID segment types
When some target is passing empty parameters to some dm target,
report this as an internal error to better catch some broken
table construction (some mirror conversions seem to be doing
this for now).
This fn calls rm_dev_node directly - an exceptional case. It needs to check
the DM_UDEV_DISABLE_LIBRARY_FALLBACK flag directly (it's called in dm_task_run
normally where it's checked already).
and use this for the LVM critical section logic. Also report an error if
code tries to load a table while any device is known to be in the
suspended state.
(If the variety of problems these changes are showing up can't be fixed
before the next release, the error messages can be reduced to debug
level.)
are affected by the move. (Currently it's possible for I/O to become
trapped between suspended devices amongst other problems.
The current fix was selected so as to minimise the testing surface. I
hope eventually to replace it with a cleaner one that extends the
deptree code.
Some lvconvert scenarios still suffer from related problems.
Align strdup char* allocation just on 2 bytes.
It looks like wasting space to align strings on 8 bytes.
(Could be even 1byte - but for hashing it might eventually get better
perfomance - but probably hardly measurable).
TODO: check on various architectures it's not making any problems.
Avoid locking sum testing with valgrind compilation.
Make memory unaccessible in the valgrind for dm_pool_abadon_object.
Valgrind hinting should not be needed in _free_chunk for dm_free.
LVM doesn't behave correctly if running as non-root user,
there is warning when it detects it.
Despite this, it produces many error messages, saying nothing.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=620571
This patch fixes two things:
1) Removes eror message from device_is_usable() which has no
information value anyway (real warning is printed inside it).
2) it fixes device-mapper initialization, if we support
core dm module autoload and device node is present, it should
fail early and not try recreate existing and correct node.
(non-root == permission denied here)
N.B. In future code should support user roles, some more
drastic checks in code are probably contraproductive now.
dm_hash binary functions takes void* key - so there is no need to cast
pointers to char* (also the hash key does not have trailing '\0').
This is slight API change, but presents no change for the API user side
it just allows to write code easier as the casting could be removed.
When the ->params string is empty - memory access is made on the byte
before allocated buffer (catched by valgrind) - in the case it would
constain 0x20 - it would even overwrite this buffer.
So fix by checking len > 0 before doing such access.
Also slightly optimise this loop from repeated strlen call.
As dm_report_field_string() doesn't modify content of data pointer,
it can be marked as const.
It's slight API change - but doesn't require any change on the user side
and supports wider range of arguments without const casting.
(i.e. we may use as paramater const lv struct this way: &lv->name)
As functions compiled within this define are apparently stil part of the public API,
(though lvm2 code is never using them unless this define is used for compilation),
keep functions available in the code for now -> revert.
Add new function dm_task_set_add_node() to select between 2 types
of node creation in device directory.
DM_ADD_NODE_ON_RESUME is now default and ensures node is created on
resume. Old original behavior is accessible with DM_ADD_NODE_ON_CREATE.
In this case node would be created during dmsetup create --notable.
For the user 2 new options for dmsetup create are added:
[{--addnodeonresume | --addnodeoncreate }]
Properly working node creation on resume is needed for proper operation
stacking and ability to correctly check in which state the device should
after whole udev transation.
With the ability to stack many operations in one udev transaction -
in same cases we are adding and removing same device at the same time
(i.e. deactivate followed by activate).
This leads to a problem of checking stacked operations:
i.e. remove /dev/node1 followed by create /dev/node1
If the node creation is handled with udev - there is a problem as
stacked operation gives warning about existing node1 and will try to
remove it - while next operation needs to recreate it.
Current code removes all previous stacked operation if the fs op is
FS_DEL - patch adds similar behavior for FS_ADD - it will try to
remove any 'delete' operation if udev is in use.
For FS_RENAME operation it seems to be more complex. But as we
are always stacking FS_READ_AHEAD after FS_ADD operation -
should be safe to remove all previous operation on the node
when udev is running.
Code does same checking for stacking libdm and liblvm operations.
As a very simple optimization counters were added for each stacked ops
type to avoid unneeded list scans if some operation does not exists in
the list.
Enable skipping of fs_unlock() (udev sync) if only DEL operations are staked.
as we do not use lv_info for already deleted nodes.
Fix assert abort of dmsetup (when compiled with pool debug)
dmsetup splitname --nameprefixes --noheadings --rows gvg-a2
Move pool begin in the inner loop - otherwise it would using
already 'ended' pool object.
As 'const' types are also passed to macro dm_list_struct_base -
keep offset calculation with const char pointers.
Fixes several gcc constness warnings.
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 **.
Detect existence of new SELinux selabel interface during configure.
Use new dm_prepare_selinux_context instead of dm_set_selinux_context.
We should set the SELinux context before the actual file system object creation.
The new dm_prepare_selinux_context function sets this using the selabel_lookup
fn in conjuction with the setfscreatecon fn. If selinux/label.h interface
(that should be a part of the selinux library) is not found during configure,
we fallback to the original matchpathcon function instead.
Fix memory leak of field_id in _output_field function.
There's been a patch added recently to use dynamic allocation for metadata
tags buffer to remove the 4k limit (for writing metadata out). However, when
using reporting commands like vgs and lvs, we still need to fix libdm reporting
functions themselves to support such long outputs. So the buffer used in those
reporting functions is dynamic now.
The patch also includes a fix for field_id memory leak which was found in
the _output_field function.
Rather than hard code the size of the field, use a #define, so we can re-use.
The #define will be needed in a future patch when we extend the reporting
infrastructure to have 'get' and 'set' functions for each field, allowing
lvm2app functions which query any report field. In order to provide a
generic lookup based on the field id, we will define a type containing this
field id, and thus, we will need to re-use the length of this string as
it's defined inside libdevmapper.h.
We can't rely on the fact that udev should prepare the node with right major
and minor number to trigger the module autoloading. We have to take into
account that the node could be missing or it could exist with improper
major and minor number assigned (e.g. from previous kernel versions in
an environment with static nodes and without udev). Make any corrections
if needed!
udev_sync feature requires semaphores (part of System V IPC) to be configured
in kernel (CONFIG_SYSVIPC). Check whether it is supported and if not, give
a warning message and disable udev synchronisation code automatically to
avoid any further error states and associated problems.
One should use the kernel with System V IPC support enabled or libdevmapper
with udev_sync feature disabled.
There was missing "revert" call in _create_and_load_v4 fn while the preparation
for table load ends up with failure in create/load/resume sequence. Otherwise
we could end up with a device being created, but not table-loaded nor resumed.
Even though the table is not loaded and the device is not resumed at this
stage, we still need to synchronize with udev when calling the revert
"remove" ioctl - there's still a remove uevent generated! The "revert"
code does exactly that.
mirrors, we must also check that the log daemon (cmirrord) is running.
The log module can be auto-loaded, but the daemon cannot be
"auto-started". Failing to check for the daemon produces cryptic
messages that customers have a hard time deciphering. (The system
messages do report that the log daemon is not running, but people
don't seem to find this message easily.)
Here are examples of what is printed when the module is available,
but the log daemon has not been started.
[root@bp-01 LVM2]# lvcreate -m1 -l1 -n lv vg
Shared cluster mirrors are not available.

Switch dmeventd to use dm_create_lockfile and drop duplicate code.
Allow clvmd pidfile to be configurable.
Switch cmirrord and clvmd to use dm_create_lockfile.
When using clustered mirrors, we need device nodes to be created during
processing of device tree, not at its end like we normally do (we need to
access the nodes in cmirror prematurely). Therefore we use a new flag called
"immediate_dev_node" stored in deptree's load_properties struct to instruct the
device tree processing code to immediately synchronize with udev and flush all
stacked node operations so the nodes are prepared for use.
For now, the immediate_dev_node is used for clustered mirrors during
processing the dm_tree_preload_children code only. We can add more later if
needed.
A kernel patch is on its way for 2.6.35 adding support for dm-mod module
autoload. Udev v155 and higher is able to read static node information given
in modules.devname (extracted by depmod before) and will create such nodes
at its start. The first access to such node will load the module automatically
(directly in kernel) before the actual read/write operation is processed.
For deactivation of Replicator check in advance that all heads
have open_count == 0. For this presuspend_node is used as all
head nodes are linking this control node.
Introducing dm_tree_node_set_presuspend_node() for presuspending child
node (i.e. replicator control target) before deactivation of parent node
(i.e. replicator-dev target).
This patch presents no functional change to current dtree - only
replicator target currently sets presuspend node for dev nodes.
Use Requires.private: instead of Libs.private:
Use UDEV_PC and SELINUX_PC for Require.private:
It looks like usage of Requires.private is prefered from Libs.private.
However pkg-config documentation is really poor here. But here is
short outcome:
There is a difference in Libs.private: and Requires.private: where
we specify libselinux instead of -lselinux -lsepol.
We leave resolving of query like 'pkg-config --libs --static devmapper'
on taking proper selinux and udev libs to their .pc files instead of
hardcoding them into our .pc file which is might give incorrect answer.
- i.e. dependency of libselinux package might change and we may return
wrong list of linked libraries.

This remove ioctl generates udev events like any other hence it needs to be
synchronized properly as well. Also, add dm task type in debug log when
setting a cookie (for better debugging).
This rule appeared in udev v152 and it helps us to support spurious events
where we didn't have any flags set (events originated in udevadm trigger
or the watch rule). These flags are important to direct the rule application.
Now, with the help of this rule, we can regenerate old udev db content.
To implement this correctly, we need to flag all proper DM udev events with
DM_UDEV_PRIMARY_SOURCE_FLAG. That happens automatically for all ioctls
generating events originated in libdevmapper.
Patch is inspired by Debian's extra patch.
- removes OWNER & GROUP make vars they are parts of INSTALL command.
- adds INSTALL_PROGRAM for executable, uses $(INSTALL)
- adds INSTALL_DATA for non-executable data, uses ($INSTALL)
- adds INSTALL_WDATA for writable non-executable data, uses ($INSTALL)
- adds configure option --enable-write_install - to support
installatin of writable files used by distribution
- replaces usage of ifeq @LIB_SUFFIX@ with $(LIB_SUFFIX)
- installs .a files from static builds without executable flag
- installs .a files to $(usrlibdir) instead of $(libdir)
- installs all static binaries to $(staticdir)
- create .so links for devel package in $(usrlibdir) instead of
$(libdir)
- makes .so and .so.LIB_VERSION files within builddir
- removes VERSIONED_SHLIB and created versioned LIB_SHARED automagicaly
- install LIB_SHARED via install_lib_shared target
- install plugins via install_lib_shared_plugin target
- prints whole 'install' command during installation instead of less
informative "Installing $(something) $(somewhere)"
- install multiple man pages with one INSTALL command
- use DISTCLEAN_TARGETS instead of creating multiple distclean targets
Usage of VPATH makes troubles when used within $(builddir).
Not only source files are being found through VPATH,
but targets as well. (make --debug=v)
Thus if user builds the code in $(srcdir) and also in some $(builddir)
he gets mangled results as some generated files (i.e. .export.sym)
are 'reused' from $(srcdir) instead of $(builddir).
This patch switches to use vpath were we could explicitly name
suffixes that should be looked via vpath - we must take care,
we do not generate files with these suffixes:
.c, .in, .po, .exported_symbols
in clvmd, dmevend, man, tests.
Don't include dependency files for clow and cscope.out targets
Improve dependency tracking for dmeventd and liblvm2cmd sources.
to obtain sources. Create make.tmpl target for
simplier generation of cflow files with the help of
CFLOW_LIST, CFLOW_LIST_TARGET, CFLOW_TARGET.
Still cflow usage is not perfect.
This prevents some confusion when libudev was not found so udev_sync was disabled
automatically. Configure was successful though giving only a tiny warning.
Also, if "dmsetup udevcreatecookie" is used, never return 0x000000 as a result if
udev is not running and keep the output blank.
We need to know whether we should wait for any uevent or not when
using udev_sync. A kernel patch was posted recently that changed the
way uevents are sent on dm device resume - it is sent only if the
device has been suspended before. There's also a new DM_UEVENT_GENERATED_FLAG
in the ioctl to notify userspace whether the event was generated.
If the uevent was not generated (e.g. the situation where the device is
*not* suspended and we call a resume), we just call dm_udev_complete
explicitly from within libdevmapper itself to prevent infinite waiting
while trying to synchronise with udev processing.
For static builds dependency for SELinux libs is not handled by 'ar'.
Till better solution is found, for static builds STATIC_LIBS is used.
Patch updates SELinux detection to use 3rd & 4th parameter for Success/Fail.
Also removes detection of pthread from this check as we know which
version of libdevmapper we are going to link with lvm after merge.
SELinux header check moved to the SELinux test code.
- add DM_UDEV_DISABLE_LIBRARY_FALLBACK udev flag to rely on udev only
- export dm_udev_create_cookie function to create new cookies on demand
- add --udevcookie, udevcreatecookie and udevreleasecookie for dmsetup
(to support "udev transactions" where one cookie value can be used for
several dmsetup calls)
- don't use DM_UDEV_DISABLE_CHECKING env. var. anymore and set the state
automatically (based on udev and libdevmapper dev path comparison)
that were necessary to be passed on to userspace.
The cluster mirror table (log portion only) used to look like this:
clustered-disk <parm_count> <disk> <region_size> <uuid> \
[[no]sync] [block_on_error]
Now it looks like this:
userspace <parm_count> <uuid> clustered-disk <disk> <region_size> \
[[no]sync]
So, there is one extra argument in the latter case - this was
unaccounted for.

Introduces new libdevmapper function dm_tree_node_add_snapshot_merge_target
Verifies that the kernel (dm-snapshot) provides the 'snapshot-merge'
target.
Activate origin LV as snapshot-merge target. Using snapshot-origin
target would be pointless because the origin contains volatile data
while a merge is in progress.
Because snapshot-merge target is activated in place of the
snapshot-origin target it must be resumed after all other snapshots
(just like snapshot-origin does) --- otherwise small window for data
corruption would exist.
Ideally the merging snapshot would not be activated at all but if it is
to be activated (because snapshot was already active) it _must_ be done
after the snapshot-merge. This insures that DM's snapshot-merge target
will perform exception handover in the proper order (new->resume before
old->resume). DM's snapshot-merge does support handover if the reverse
sequence is used (old->resume before new->resume) but DM will fail to
resume the old snapshot; leaving it suspended.
To insure the proper activation sequence dm_tree_activate_children() was
updated to accommodate an additional 'activation_priority' level. All
regular snapshots are 0, snapshot-merge is 1, and merging snapshot is 2.
Sometimes it is really needed to switch off udev checking and the warnings we show when
we detect that udev has not done its job right - the messages like "Udev should have done
this and that. Falling back to direct node creation/removal. " etc.
This would be especially handy while setting DM_DEV_DIR env var that could be set to a
different location than standard /dev (udev can't create nodes/symlinks out of that one
directory that is configured into udevd). The exact same situation happens while we're
running our tests.
dm_tree_activate_children() callers.
Otherwise resume_lv and its variants can fail silently.
Catching these failures is especially important now that dm targets like
crypt and snapshot-merge can fail in .preresume

These are no longer used by anyone. The dm_list defines are all in
libdevmapper.h and libdm/datastruct/list.c contains any function definitions.
There is some code in "old-tests" that still use this but this code is not
being maintained.
Thanks to Zdenek for spotting this.
This provides better support for environments where udev rules are installed
but udev_sync is not compiled in (however, using udev_sync is highly
recommended). It also provides consistent and expected functionality even
when '--noudevsync' option is used.
There is still requirement for kernel >= 2.6.31 for the flags to work though
(it uses DM cookies to pass the flags into the kernel and set them in udev
event environment that we can read in udev rules).
'last_rule' option has been removed from udev (version >= 147).
From now on, we require foreign rules to check and honor
ENV{DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES_FLAG} instead. Foreign
rules should be skipped totally when this flag is set.
- we have these levels when the udev rules are processed:
10-dm.rules --> [11-dm-<subsystem>.rules] --> [12-dm-permissions.rules] -->
13-dm-disk.rules --> [...all the other foreign rules...] --> 95-dm-notify.rules
- each level can be disabled now by
DM_UDEV_DISABLE_{DM, SUBSYSTEM, DISK, OTHER}_RULES_FLAG
- add DM_UDEV_DISABLE_DM_RULES_FLAG to disable 10-dm.rules
- add DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES_FLAG to disable all the other (non-dm) rules.
We cutoff these rules by using the 'last_rule', so this one should really be
used with great care and in well-founded situations. We use this for lvm's
hidden and layer devices now.
- add a parameter for add_dev_node, rm_dev_node and rename_dev_node so it's
possible to switch on/off udev checks
- use DM_UDEV_DISABLE_DM_RULES_FLAG and DM_UDEV_DISABLE_SUBSYSTEM_RULES_FLAG
if there's no cookie set and we have resume, remove and rename ioctl.
This could happen when someone uses the libdevmapper that is compiled with
udev_sync but the software does not make use of it. This way we can switch
off the rules and fallback to libdevmapper node creation so there's no
udev/libdevmapper race.
confuses me, so I've added a comment at the top of the function to
remind me of this.
I also found that 'mirror_emit_segment_line' was returning 0 (return_0)
on failure /and/ success. It now returns 1 for success and 0 for failure -
just like '_emit_areas_line' and its calling function, '_emit_segment_line'.
We don't have to call dm_cookie_supported with dm_udev_get_sync_support
this way. Also, it's necessary for the current code to work properly on
systems without cookie support (older kernels).
Eliminate dependency on outside library, since the same functionality
exists in our tree.
[It is important that the bitops work in the same way, as the bitmaps
must remain backwards compatible. I haven't tested every architecture,
but the x86* archs work. My test involved using the old ext2fsprogs
bitops, memcpy'ing the bits over to the LVM bitset array and ensuring
that only the bits set via the old methods were set.]
Is an application uses query and set major:minor
to device, it should not fallback to default major by default.
Add new function whoich allows that (and use it in lvm2).
- it can support multiple segments, but note that
to work properly, correct IV (initialization vector)
offset parameter must be set properly.
Because most usage of IV start offset is when we join
several crypto segments together (so iv_offset is the segment
start offset), DM_CRYPT_IV_DEFAULT is defined to simplify
the process.
Function accepts the string in cipher agrument (already
including chainmode and iv type; chainmode and iv parameters are NULL
in this case) or user can provide split parameters which will
join into dm-crypt cipher specification "cipher-chainmode-iv".
All these parameters must be supplied in correct dm-crypt format.
