Enhance 'activation' experience for VDO pool to more closely match
what happens for thin-pools where we do use a 'fake' LV to keep pool
running even when no thinLVs are active. This gives user a choice
whether he want to keep thin-pool running (wihout possibly lenghty
activation/deactivation process)
As we do plan to support multple VDO LVs to be mapped into a single VDO,
we want to give user same experience and 'use-patter' as with thin-pools.
This patch gives option to activate VDO pool only without activating
VDO LV.
Also due to 'fake' layering LV we can protect usage of VDO pool from
command like 'mkfs' which do require exlusive access to the volume,
which is no longer possible.
Note: VDO pool contains 1024 initial sectors as 'empty' header - such
header is also exposed in layered LV (as read-only LV).
For blkid we are indentified as LV with UUID suffix - thus private DM
device of lvm2 - so we do not need to store any extra info in this
header space (aka zero is good enough).
When lvm2 is activating layered pool LV (to basically keep pool opened,
the other function used to be 'locking' be in sync with DM table)
use this LV in read-only mode - this prevents 'write' access into
data volume content of thin-pool.
Note: since EMPTY/unused thin-pool is created as 'public LV' for generic
use by any user who i.e. wish to maintain thin-pool and thins himself.
At this moment, thin-pool appears as writable LV. As soon as the 1st.
thinLV is created, layer volume will appear is 'read-only' LV from this moment.
When pvscan is used to activate a VG via an
asynchronous service (i.e. lvm2-pvscan), there
is no requirement that the command wait for
udev to create device nodes before returning.
It's possible that waiting for udev is slow
enough to cause the service running the command
to time out. So, allow the --noudevsync option
to be given to pvscan to skip waiting for udev.
(This commit is not changing the lvm2-pvscan
service itself to use --noudevsync.)
Still unknown is whether there are any complex
LV activation cases in which lvm itself requires
access to a device node, in which case the udev
wait could be needed by lvm itself.
(When running an activation command directly
from the command line, it's generally expected
that the activated LVs are ready to use when
the command is finished, so lvm waits for
udev to finish creating the dev nodes.)
When an online PV completed a VG, the standard
activation functions were used to activate the VG.
These functions use a full scan of all devs.
When many pvscans are run during startup and need
to activate many VGs, scanning all devs from all
the pvscans can take a long time.
Optimize VG activation in pvscan to scan only the
devs in the VG being activated. This makes use of
the online file info that was used to determine
the VG was complete.
The downside of this approach is that pvscan activation
will not detect duplicate PVs and block activation,
where a normal activation command (which scans all
devices) would.
Fixes a regression from commit ba7ff96faf
"improve reading and repairing vg metadata"
where the error path for a vg name with invalid
charaters was missing an error flag, which led
to the caller not recognizing an error occured.
Previously, an error flag was hidden in the old
_vg_make_handle function.
Only the first entry of the filter array was being
included in the copy of the filter, rather than the
entire thing. The result is that hints would not be
refreshed if the filter was changed but the first
entry was unchanged.
Fixes a segfault in the recent commit e01fddc57:
"improve duplicate pv handling for md components"
While choosing between duplicates, the info struct is
not always valid; it may have been dropped already.
Remove the code that was still using the info struct for
size comparisons. The size comparisons were a bogus check
anyway because it was just preferring the dev that had
already been chosen, it wasn't actually comparing the
dev size to the PV size. It would be good to use a
dev/PV size comparison in the duplicate handling code, but
the PV size is not available until after vg_read, not
from the scan.
With Python 3.8 converting these directly to string using str()
no longer works, we need to convert these to integer first.
On Python 3.8:
>>> str(dbus.Int64(1))
'dbus.Int64(1)'
On Python 3.7 (and older):
>>> str(dbus.UInt64(1))
'1'
This is probably related to removing __str__ function from method
from int (dbus.UInt is subclass of int) which happened in 3.8, see
https://docs.python.org/3.8/whatsnew/3.8.html

Since we need to preserve allocated strings across 2 separate
activation calls of '_tree_action()' we need to use other mem
pool them dm->mem - but since cmd->mem is released between
individual lvm2 locking calls, we rather introduce a new separate
mem pool just for pending deletes with easy to see life-span.
(not using 'libmem' as it would basicaly keep allocations over
the whole lifetime of clvmd)
This patch is fixing previous commmit where the memory was
improperly used after pool release.
Update configure and make code compilable if prlimit() is not present.
Since the code is suspicious do not cope yet with it's replacement
with set/getrlimit().
New udev in rawhide seems to be 'dropping' udev rule operations for devices
that are no longer existing - while this is 'probably' a bug - it's
revealing moments in lvm2 that likely should not run in a single
transaction and we should wait for a cookie before submitting more work.
TODO: it seem more 'error' paths should always include synchronization
before starting deactivating 'just activated' devices.
We should probably figure out some 'automatic' solution for this instead
of placing sync_local_dev_name() all over the place...
Support internal removal of 'cache origin' volume - which we
do not normally expose to a user - however internal processing
loops may hit this condition (depending on order of list LVs).
So when this operation is internally requested - we automatically
try to remove it's 'holding' LV (cache LV) - which will also
remove the origin.
Drop the 'cluster-only' optimization so we do resume ALL device
before we try to wait on cookie before 'removal' operation.
It's more correct order of operation - alhtough possibly slightly
less efficient - but until we have correct list of operations
'in-progress' we can't do anything better.
With previous patch 30a98e4d67 we
started to put devices one pending_delete list instead
of directly scheduling their removal.
However we have operations like 'snapshot merge' where we are
resuming device tree in 2 subsequent activation calls - so
1st such call will still have suspened devices and no chance
to push 'remove' ioctl.
Since we curently cannot easily solve this by doing just single
activation call (which would be preferred solution) - we introduce
a preservation of pending_delete via command structure and
then restore it on next activation call.
This way we keep to remove devices later - although it might be
not the best moment - this may need futher tunning.
Also we don't keep the list of operation in 1 trasaction
(unless we do verify udev symlinks) - this could probably
also make it more correct in terms of which 'remove' can
be combined we already running 'resume'.
Udev debugging is a bit tricky, so to more easily pair cookie ID,
which is the lowest 16 bit - print cookie as hexa number.
This simplify pairing of processed cookies while the 'higher bit flags'
are changed for the same cookie.
Resuming of 'error' table entry followed with it's dirrect removal
is now troublesame with latest udev as it may skip processing of
udev rules for already 'dropped' device nodes.
As we cannot 'synchronize' with udev while we know we have devices
in suspended state - rework 'cleanup' so it collects nodes
for removal into pending_delete list and process the list with
synchronization once we are without any suspended nodes.
Between 'resume' and 'remove' we need to wait for udev to synchronize,
otherwise udev may 'skip' resume event processing if the udev node
is already gone.
When pvmove is finished, we do a tricky operation since we try to
resume multiple different device that were all joined into 1 big tree.
Currently we use the infromation from existing live DM table,
where we can get list of all holders of pvmove device.
We look for these nodes (by uuid) in new metadata, and we do now a full
regular device add into dm tree structure. All devices should be
already PRELOAD with correct table before entering suspend state,
however for correctly working readahead we need to put correct info
also into RESUME tree. Since table are preloaded, the same table
is skip and resume, but correct read ahead is now set.
