Take a local file lock to prevent concurrent activation/deactivation of LVs.
Thin/cache types and an extension for cluster support are excluded for
now.
'lvchange -ay $lv' and 'lvchange -an $lv' should no longer cause trouble
if issued concurrently: the new lock should make sure they
activate/deactivate $lv one-after-the-other, instead of overlapping.
(If anyone wants to experiment with the cluster patch, please get in touch.)
pvmove can be used to move single LVs by name or multiple LVs that
lie within the specified PV range (e.g. /dev/sdb1:0-1000). When
moving more than one LV, the portions of those LVs that are in the
range to be moved are added to a new temporary pvmove LV. The LVs
then point to the range in the pvmove LV, rather than the PV
range.
Example 1:
We have two LVs in this example. After they were
created, the first LV was grown, yeilding two segments
in LV1. So, there are two LVs with a total of three
segments.
Before pvmove:
--------- --------- ---------
| LV1s0 | | LV2s0 | | LV1s1 |
--------- --------- ---------
| | |
-------------------------------------
PV | 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 | 512 - 767 |
-------------------------------------
After pvmove inserts the temporary pvmove LV:
--------- --------- ---------
| LV1s0 | | LV2s0 | | LV1s1 |
--------- --------- ---------
| | |
-------------------------------------
pvmove0 | seg 0 | seg 1 | seg 2 |
-------------------------------------
| | |
-------------------------------------
PV | 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 | 512 - 767 |
-------------------------------------
Each of the affected LV segments now point to a
range of blocks in the pvmove LV, which purposefully
corresponds to the segments moved from the original
LVs into the temporary pvmove LV.
The current implementation goes on from here to mirror the temporary
pvmove LV by segment. Further, as the pvmove LV is activated, only
one of its segments is actually mirrored (i.e. "moving") at a time.
The rest are either complete or not addressed yet. If the pvmove
is aborted, those segments that are completed will remain on the
destination and those that are not yet addressed or in the process
of moving will stay on the source PV. Thus, it is possible to have
a partially completed move - some LVs (or certain segments of LVs)
on the source PV and some on the destination.
Example 2:
What 'example 1' might look if it was half-way
through the move.
--------- --------- ---------
| LV1s0 | | LV2s0 | | LV1s1 |
--------- --------- ---------
| | |
-------------------------------------
pvmove0 | seg 0 | seg 1 | seg 2 |
-------------------------------------
| | |
| -------------------------
source PV | | 256 - 511 | 512 - 767 |
| -------------------------
| ||
-------------------------
dest PV | 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 |
-------------------------
This update allows the user to specify that they would like the
pvmove mirror created "by LV" rather than "by segment". That is,
the pvmove LV becomes an image in an encapsulating mirror along
with the allocated copy image.
Example 3:
A pvmove that is performed "by LV" rather than "by segment".
--------- ---------
| LV1s0 | | LV2s0 |
--------- ---------
| |
-------------------------
pvmove0 | * LV-level mirror * |
-------------------------
/ \
pvmove_mimage0 / pvmove_mimage1
------------------------- -------------------------
| seg 0 | seg 1 | | seg 0 | seg 1 |
------------------------- -------------------------
| | | |
------------------------- -------------------------
| 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 | | 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 |
------------------------- -------------------------

The thing that differentiates a pvmove done in this way and a simple
"up-convert" from linear to mirror is the preservation of the
distinct segments. A normal up-convert would simply allocate the
necessary space with no regard for segment boundaries. The pvmove
operation must preserve the segments because they are the critical
boundary between the segments of the LVs being moved. So, when the
pvmove copy image is allocated, all corresponding segments must be
allocated. The code that merges ajoining segments that are part of
the same LV when the metadata is written must also be avoided in
this case. This method of mirroring is unique enough to warrant its
own definitional macro, MIRROR_BY_SEGMENTED_LV. This joins the two
existing macros: MIRROR_BY_SEG (for original pvmove) and MIRROR_BY_LV
(for user created mirrors).
The advantages of performing pvmove in this way is that all of the
LVs affected can be moved together. It is an all-or-nothing approach
that leaves all LV segments on the source PV if the move is aborted.
Additionally, a mirror log can be used (in the future) to provide tracking
of progress; allowing the copy to continue where it left off in the event
there is a deactivation.
Let's use the size of origin as the real base for percenta calculation,
and 'silenly' add needed metadata space for snapshot.
So now command 'lvcreate -s -l100%ORIGIN vg/lv' should always create a
snapshot to handle full device overwrite.
When creating a cache LV with a RAID origin, we need to ensure that
the sub-LVs of that origin properly change their names to include
the "_corig" extention of the top-level LV. We do this by first
performing a 'lv_rename_update' before making the call to
'insert_layer_for_lv'.
The thin-generic.profile contains settings for thin/thin pool volumes
suitable for generic environment/use containing default settings.
This allows users to change the global lvm.conf settings at will
and still keep the original settings for volumes that have this
thin profile assigned already.
Internal reporting function cannot handle NULL reporting value,
so ensure there is at least dummy label.
So move dummy_lable from tools/reporter.c and use it for all
report_object() calls in lib/report/report.c.
(Fixes RHBZ 1108394)
Simlify lvm_report_object initialization.
Enable 'retry' deactivation also in 'cleanup' phase.
It shouldn't be mostly needed - however udev now produces
more and more completelny non-synchronizable device opens,
so even for orphan devices we can't easily predict where
udevd opens devices.
So it's more preferable here to log error about device being open
and retry clean, but let the command proceed.
LVM has restricter character set that is allowed for VG-LV names
and the dm names constructed do not contain any blacklisted characters
that would require name mangling.
Also, when any other device-mapper device is scanned that could
possibly contain such blacklisted characters, we reference the
device by its major:minor instead of dm name (e.g. _device_is_usable fn).
The "default.profile" name was misleading. It's actually a helper
*template* that can be used for copying and further editing to create
a new profile.
Also, we have separate command and metadata profiles now so the templates
are separated as well - we can't mix profile settings from one group with
another - such profile is rejected by lvm tools.
Warn user before converting volume to different type.
WARNING: Converting vg/lvol0 logical volume to pool's meta/data volume.
THIS WILL DESTROY CONTENT OF LOGICAL VOLUME (filesystem etc.)
Since the content of volume is lost we have to query user to confirm
such operation. If user is 100% sure, he may use '--yes' to avoid prompts.
The dumpconfig now understands --commandprofile/--profile/--metadataprofile
The --commandprofile and --profile functionality is almost the same
with only one difference and that is that the --profile is just used
for dumping the content, it's not applied for the command itself
(while the --commandprofile profile is applied like it is done for
any other LVM command).
We also allow --metadataprofile for dumpconfig - dumpconfig *does not*
touch VG/LV and metadata in any way so it's OK to use it here (just for
dumping the content, checking the profile validity etc.).
The validity of the profile can be checked with:
dumpconfig --commandprofile/--profile/--metadataprofile --validate
...depending on the profile type.
Also, mention --config in the dumpconfig help string so users know
that dumpconfig handles this too (it did even before, but it was not
documented in the help string).
- When defining configuration source, the code now uses separate
CONFIG_PROFILE_COMMAND and CONFIG_PROFILE_METADATA markers
(before, it was just CONFIG_PROFILE that did not make the
difference between the two). This helps when checking the
configuration if it contains correct set of options which
are all in either command-profilable or metadata-profilable
group without mixing these groups together - so it's a firm
distinction. The "command profile" can't contain
"metadata profile" and vice versa! This is strictly checked
and if the settings are mixed, such profile is rejected and
it's not used. So in the end, the CONFIG_PROFILE_COMMAND
set of options and CONFIG_PROFILE_METADATA are mutually exclusive
sets.
- Marking configuration with one or the other marker will also
determine the way these configuration sources are positioned
in the configuration cascade which is now:
CONFIG_STRING -> CONFIG_PROFILE_COMMAND -> CONFIG_PROFILE_METADATA -> CONFIG_FILE/CONFIG_MERGED_FILES
- Marking configuration with one or the other marker will also make
it possible to issue a command context refresh (will be probably
a part of a future patch) if needed for settings in global profile
set. For settings in metadata profile set this is impossible since
we can't refresh cmd context in the middle of reading VG/LV metadata
and for each VG/LV separately because each VG/LV can have a different
metadata profile assinged and it's not possible to change these
settings at this level.
- When command profile is incorrect, it's rejected *and also* the
command exits immediately - the profile *must* be correct for the
command that was run with a profile to be executed. Before this
patch, when the profile was found incorrect, there was just the
warning message and the command continued without profile applied.
But it's more correct to exit immediately in this case.
- When metadata profile is incorrect, we reject it during command
runtime (as we know the profile name from metadata and not early
from command line as it is in case of command profiles) and we
*do continue* with the command as we're in the middle of operation.
Also, the metadata profile is applied directly and on the fly on
find_config_tree_* fn call and even if the metadata profile is
found incorrect, we still need to return the non-profiled value
as found in the other configuration provided or default value.
To exit immediately even in this case, we'd need to refactor
existing find_config_tree_* fns so they can return error. Currently,
these fns return only config values (which end up with default
values in the end if the config is not found).
- To check the profile validity before use to be sure it's correct,
one can use :
lvm dumpconfig --commandprofile/--metadataprofile ProfileName --validate
(the --commandprofile/--metadataprofile for dumpconfig will come
as part of the subsequent patch)
- This patch also adds a reference to --commandprofile and
--metadataprofile in the cmd help string (which was missing before
for the --profile for some commands). We do not mention --profile
now as people should use --commandprofile or --metadataprofile
directly. However, the --profile is still supported for backward
compatibility and it's translated as:
--profile == --metadataprofile for lvcreate, vgcreate, lvchange and vgchange
(as these commands are able to attach profile to metadata)
--profile == --commandprofile for all the other commands
(--metadataprofile is not allowed there as it makes no sense)
- This patch also contains some cleanups to make the code handling
the profiles more readable...
The dumpconfig reuses existing config_def_check results in case
the check is done during general lvm command context initialization
(when enabled by config/checks=1) so dumpconfig does not need to run
the same check again during its execution, hence saving some time.
However, we don't check for differences from defaults during general
lvm command initialization as it's useless at that time. It makes
sense only in case when such a check is directly requested (like in
the case of lvm dumpconfig --type diff). We need to take care that
the reused information was already produced with this "diff" checking
before and if not, we need to force the check so the check status also
gathers the new "diff" info now.
Also, do not do diff checking for any other dumpconfig command that
is run after dumpconfig --type diff.
When cmd refresh is called, we need to move any already loaded profiles
to profiles_to_load list which will cause their reload on subsequent
use. In addition to that, we need to take into account any change
in config/profile configuration setting on cmd context refresh
since this setting could be overriden with --config.
Also, when running commands in the shell, we need to remove the
global profile used from the configuration cascade so the profile
is not incorrectly reused next time when the --profile option is
not specified anymore for the next command in the shell.
This bug only affected profile specified by --profile cmd line
arg, not profiles referenced from LVM metadata.
Since decisions in the silent mode may not be always obvious,
print skipped prompt with answer 'n'.
Also document '-qq' behaviour (single -q only shuts
logging, while -qq sets silent mode).
Share DM_REPORT_FIELD_RESERVED_NAME_{HELP,HELP_ALT} between libdm and
any libdm user to handle reserved field names, in this case the virtual
field name to show help instead of failing on unrecognized field.
The libdm user also needs to check the field name so it can fire
proper code in this case (cleanup, exit etc.).
Support upto 3 levels os nesting signal blocking.
As of today - code blocks signals immediatelly when it opens
VG in read-write mode - this however makes current prompt usage
then partially unusable since user may not 'break' command
during prompt (something most user would expect).
Until a better fix for prompting is implemented, put in support
for signal nesting - thus when prompt enables signal acceptance,
make it possible to really break command at this point.
When quering for dmeventd monitoring status, check first
if lvm2 is configured to monitor to avoid unwanted start
of dmeventd process for answering monitoring status.
When showing ACTIVE status for snapshot's origin,
avoid testing all its snapshot - it's not useful
to tell user origin is inactivate, while it's clearly
available and running - just one of its snapshot leg
is invalid...
Relocate info from thin pool and thin volume segments
to proper code section for segments.
Add discards and thin count status info.
Info is shown with 'lvdisplay --maps' (like for other segments).
For percentage display we need -tpool - so check for layered
device presence here instead of plain pool device.
Also update 'info' - so when pool is 'available' we
display open count for -tpool device instead of mostly
irrelevant pool.
TODO: Maybe we should actually display this open info always?
(even when just -tpool is available, but pool is not)
Emphesize virtual extents for virtual LVs and for
those use 'Virtual extents' instead of 'Logical extents',
so it's immeditatelly visible, which extents do have
straighforward physical backend.
While the 'raid1/10' segment types were being handled inadvertently
by '_move_mirrors()', the parity RAIDs were not being properly checked
to ensure that the user had specified all necessary PVs when moving
them. Thus, internal errors were being triggered when only part of
a RAID LV was moved to the new VG. I've added a new function,
'_move_raid()', which properly checks over any affected RAID LVs and
ensures that all the necessary PVs are being moved.
ignore_suspended_devices=0 is already used in lvm.conf we distribute,
but it was still "1" in the code (so it was used when lvm.conf value
was not defined). It should be "0" too.
Config variables that are processed during setup prior to calling into
particular tools must not be accessed directly afterwards in case the
values already got overridden.
_process_config() already used the tests I'm removing here to call
lvmetad_set_active() and set up lvmetad_used().
This should be the preferred way of configuring lvm2 for udev/systemd
since otherwise one can end up with the processes run from udev (the
pvscan we run for lvmetad update on events) to be killed prematurely
and this can end up with LVM volumes not activated in the end.
This is sort of info we always ask people to retrieve when
inspecting problems in systemd environment so let's have this
as part of lvmdump directly.
The -s option does not need to be bound to systemd only. We could
add support for initscripts or any other system-wide/service tracking
info that can help us with debugging problems.
Set A_POSITIONAL_FILL if the array of areas is being filled
positionally (with a slot corresponding to each 'leg') rather
than sequentially (with all suitable areas found, to be sorted
and selected from).
