The OPTIONS+="event_timeout" is Unsupported since systemd/udev version 216,
that is ~5 years ago.
Since systemd/udev version 243, there's a new message printed if unsupported
OPTIONS value is used:
Invalid value for OPTIONS key, ignoring: 'event_timeout=180'

Recent kernel version from kernel commit:
de7180ff908b2bc0342e832dbdaa9a5f1ecaa33a
started to report in cache status line new flag:
no_discard_passdown
Whenever lvm spots unknown status it reports:
Unknown feature in status:
So add reconginzing this feature flag and also report this with
'lvs -o+kernel_discards'
When no_discard_passdown is found in status 'nopassdown' gets reported
for this field (roughly matching what we report for thin-pools).
To avoid tiny race on checking arrival of signal and entering select
(that can latter remain stuck as signal was already delivered) switch
to use pselect().
If it would needed, we can eventually add extra code for older systems
without pselect(), but there are probably no such ancient systems in
use.
We already used Conflicts=shutdown target to stop LVM2 services on shutdown.
But we still missed the ordering - the shutdown.target should be reached
only after all the services are really stopped.
Reported here: https://github.com/lvmteam/lvm2/issues/17
When data are growing, adapt also size of metadata.
As we get way too many reports from users doing huge growths of
data portion while keep metadata small and avoiding using monitoring.
So to enhance the user-experience in case user requests grown of
thin-pool (without passing PV list for growth) - lvm2 will automaticaly
grown also the metadata part of thin-pool (if possible).
Udev is running udev-rule action upon 'resume'.
However lvm2 in special case is doing replacement of
'soon-to-be-removed' device with 'error' target for resuming
and then follows actual removal - the sequence is usually quick,
so when udev start action - it can result in 'strange' error
message in kernel log like:
Process '/usr/sbin/dmsetup info -j 253 -m 17 -c --nameprefixes --noheadings --rows -o name,uuid,suspended' failed with exit code 1.
To avoid this - we need to ensure there is synchronization wait for udev
between 'resume' and 'remove' part of this process.
However existing code put strict requirement to avoid synchronizing with
udev inside critical section - but this originally came from requirement
to not do anything special while there could be devices in
suspend-state. Now we are able to see differnce between critical section
with or without suspended devices. For udev synchronization only
suspended devices are prohibited to be there - so slightly relax
condition and allow calling and using 'fs_sync()' even inside critical
section - but there must not be any suspended device.
Allow using caching with VDO.
User can either cache a single vdopool or
a vdo LV - difference when the caching is put-in depends on a use-case
and it's upto user to decide which kind of speed is expected.
Internal detection of SCSI device being in-use by DM mpath has been
performed several times for each component device - this could be
eventually racy - so instead when we do remember 1st. checked result
for device being mpath and use it consistenly over the filter runtime.
Move DM usage into dev_manager.c source file.
Also convert STATUS to INFO ioctl - as that's enough
to obtain UUID - this also avoid issuing unwanted flush on checked DM
device for being mpath.
Whenever thin-pool chunk size is unspecified and left for lvm calculation
try to select the size as nearest highest power-of-2 instead of
just being a multiple of 64KiB.
Now with newer VDO kvdo target we can start to use standard mechanism
to enable resize of VDO volumes.
VDO pool can be grown.
Virtual volume grows on top of VDO pool when is not big enough.
Reduced VDOLV is calling discard for reduced areas - this can
take long time!
TODO: implement some pollable mechanism for out-of-lock TRIM.
When using 'lvcreate -l100%VG' and there is big disproportion between
real available space and requested setting - automatically fallback
to 100%FREE.
Difference can be seen when VG is big and already most space was
allocated, so the requestion 100%VG can end (and by spec for % modifier
it's correct) as LV with size of 1%VG. Usually this is not a big
problem - buit in some cases - like cache-pool allocation, this
can result a big difference for chunksize selection.
With this patch it's more closely match common-sense logic without
the need of reitteration of too big changes in lvm2 core ATM.
TODO: in the future there should be allocator solving all allocations
in a single call.
When using caches with BIG pool size (>TB) there is required
to use relatively huge chunk size. Once the chunksize has
got over 1MiB - kernel cache target stopped writing such chunks
back on this if the migration_threshold remained on default 1MiB
(2048 sectors) size.
This patch ensure, DM layer will not let pass table line which
has not big enough migration threshold that can let pass
at least 8 chunks (independently of lvm2 metadata).
lvm uses 'minimum_io_size' name to exactly match VDO naming here,
however in all common cases _size is using 'sector/512b' unit.
But in this case the value is in bytes and can have only 2 values:
either 512 or 4096.
It's probably not worth to rename it internaly, so we can just
drop comment - instead of using 1 or 8.
Thought let's think about it....
The systemd generators are executed very early during the switch
from initramfs to system partition and the syslog is not yet fully
operational - it may cause blocking, if some debug logging is enabled
at the same time in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf log{} section.
To avoid timeouting and killing this generator - rather enhance lvm
code to suppress any syslog communication when LVM_SUPPRESS_SYSLOG
envvar is set.
Use of this envvar is needed since the parsing of i.e. cmdline options
that could eventually override lvm.conf setting happens in this case
way too late and number of lines could have been already streamed to
syslog.
Fix a scenario where global/event_activation setting is not found. In
this case we need to take default value just like lvm tools do when
executed. So use "lvmconfig --type full".
Also, if we fail to execute lvmconfig for whatever reason, fallback to
generating the activation units as failsafe action.

Drop very old original format of VDO target and focus on V2 version.
So some variables were renamed or replaced.
There is no compatibility preserved (with assumption so far this is
experimental feature and there is no real user).
Note - version currently VDO calls this version 6.2.
Scenario: Given an existed LV `lvol0`, I want to create another LV
on the PVs used by `lvol0`.
I use `build_parallel_areas_from_lv()` to obtain the `pv_list` of each segments.
However, the returned `pv_list` is not properly initialized, which causes
segfault in subsequent operations.
There's a small window during creation of a new RaidLV when
rmeta SubLVs are made visible to wipe them in order to prevent
erroneous discovery of stale RAID metadata. In case a crash
prevents the SubLVs from being committed hidden after such
wiping, the RaidLV can still be activated with the SubLVs visible.
During deactivation though, a deadlock occurs because the visible
SubLVs are deactivated before the RaidLV.
The patch adds _check_raid_sublvs to the raid validation in merge.c,
an activation check to activate.c (paranoid, because the merge.c check
will prevent activation in case of visible SubLVs) and shares the
existing wiping function _clear_lvs in raid_manip.c moved to lv_manip.c
and renamed to activate_and_wipe_lvlist to remove code duplication.
Whilst on it, introduce activate_and_wipe_lv to share with
(lvconvert|lvchange).c.

Thin plugin started to use configuble setting to allow to configure
usage of external scripts - however to read this value it needed to
execute internal command as dmeventd itself has no access to lvm.conf
and the API for dmeventd plugin has been kept stable.
The call of command itself was not normally 'a big issue' until users
started to use higher number of monitored LVs and execution of command
got stuck because other monitored resource already started to execute
some other lvm2 command and become blocked waiting on VG lock.
This scenario revealed necesity to somehow avoid calling lvm2 command
during resource registration - but this requires bigger changes - so
meanwhile this patch tries to minimize the possibility to hit this race
by obtaining any configurable setting just once - such patch is small
and covers majority of problem - yet better solution needs to be
introduced likely with bigger rework of dmeventd.
TODO: avoid blocking registration of resource with execution of lvm2
commands since those can get stuck waiting on mutexes.
Allow "lvconvert --type linear RaidLV" on a raid4 LV

Add respective new test
lvconvert-raid-takeover-raid4_to_linear.sh

When converting from striped/raid0/raid0_meta

direct conversion (to raid6_n_6).
In case of 2 stripes, first convert to raid5_n to restripe

a second conversion before finally converting to raid6_n_6.
As before, raid6_n_6 then can be converted
to any other raid6 layout.
Enhance lvconvert-raid-takeover.sh to test the
2 stripes conversions to raid6.

This is the number of concurrent async io requests that
the scan layer will submit to the bcache layer. There
will be an open fd for each of these, so it is best to
keep this well below the default limit for max open files
(1024), otherwise lvm may get EMFILE from open(2) when
there are around 1024 devices to scan on the system.
"lvconvert --type linear RaidLV" on striped and raid4/5/6/10

a cleanup to the convenience type function.
As a result of testing, add missing sync waits to

With improved mirror activation code --splitmirror issue poppedup
since there was missing proper preload code and deactivation
for splitted mirror leg.
Amound of linked libraries grows.
Most of them we don't need to lock in, since we are not using
them in locked section, so skip locking them in memory.
When pvmoving LV - the target for LV is a mirror so the validation
that checked the type is matching was incorrect.
While we need a more generic enhancment of LVS output for pvmoved LVs,
for now at least stop showing internal errors and 'X' symbols in attrs.
In case "lvconvert -mN RaidLV" was used on a degraded
raid1 LV, success was returned instead of an error.
Provide message to inform about the need to repair first
before changing number of mirrors and exit with error.
Add new lvconvert-m-raid1-degraded.sh test.
Resolves: rhbz1573960
When adjusting region size for clustered VG it always needs to fit
2 full bitset into 1MB due to old limits of CPG.
This is relatively big amount of bits, but we have still limitation
for region size to fit into 32bits (0x8000000).
So for too big mirrors this operation needs to fail - so whenever
function returns now 0, it means we can't find matching region_size.
Since return 0 is now 'error' we need to also pass proper region_size
when creating pvmove mirror.
Since extent_size is no longer power_of_2 this max region size
evalution was rather producing random bitsize as a combination
of lowest bit from number of extents and extent size itself.
Correct calculation to use whole LV size and pick biggest
possible power of 2 value smaller then UINT32_MAX.
Drop mirrored mirror log limitation that applies only in very limited
use-case and actually mirrored mirror log is deprecated anyway.
So 'disk' mirror log is selecting the correct minimal size, and
bigger size is only enforced with real mirrored mirror log.
Also for mirrored mirror log we let use 'smalled' region size if needed
so if user uses 1G region size, we still keep small mirror log
with much smaller region size in this case when needed.
Also mirror log extent calculation is now properly detecting error
with too big mirrors where previosly trimmed uint32_t was applies
unintentionally.
Whenever we make visible LV out of previously invisible one,
reload it's table - the is mandator for proper udev rule
processing as well as ensure content of dm table is correct.
TODO: this new generic rule probably make extra raid rules unnecessary.
Fixing regresion on argument acceptance where any lv can be passed

User has no other 'effective' method to wait for mirror getting in-sync.
The current logic that avoids setting SYSTEMD_ALIAS and SYSTEMD_WANTS
on "change" events is flawed in the default "systemd background job"
configuration. For systemd, it's important that device properties don't
change spuriously.
If an "add" event starts lvm2-pvscan@.service for a device, and a
"change" event follows, removing SYSTEMD_ALIAS and SYSTEMD_WANTS from the
udev db, information about unit dependencies between the device and the
pvscan service can be lost in systemd, in particular if the daemon
configuration is reloaded.
Steps to reproduce problem:
- create a device with an LVM PV
- remove device
- add device (generates "add" and "change" uevents for the device)
(at this point SYSTEMD_ALIAS and SYSTEMD_WANTS are clear in udev db)
- systemctl daemon-reload
(systemd reloads udev db)
- vgchange -a n
- remove device
=> the lvm2-pvscan@.service for the device is still active although the
device is gone.
- add device again
=> the PV is not detected, because systemd sees the lvm2-pvscan@.service
as active and thus doesn't restart it.
The original purpose of this logic was to avoid volumes being scanned
over and over again. With systemd background jobs, that isn't necessary,
because systemd will not restart the job as long as it's active.

Make the distinction between the cases with and without systemd
background jobs explicit in 69-dm-lvm-metad.rules rather than
substituting the rule from the Makefile. At this stage,
this improves only readibility, at the cost of one GOTO statement.
This patch introduces no functional change to the udev rules.

Test that no (Sub)LV remnants persist if the volume group is

Only policy 'smq' is meant to be used with format version 2.
Code used to let pass 'mq' policy also with format 2. But 'mq'
is obsoloted wth smq and kernel currently matches it. But this
is incompatible with older original mq logic - so disallow creation
of this rather useless combination.
If the tools for checking thin_pool or cache metadata are missing,
issue rather just a WARNING, but let the operation of activation
continue.
This has the advantage, the if user is missing those tools,
but he already started to use thinpool or cacheing, he can
access these volumes with a WARNING.
Also if the user is using too old tools i.e. for CacheV2 format
dmpd tool 0.7 is required - provide informative WARNING and
skip failure from older tool version which can't understand
new format V2.
In case a newly created RaidLV is blacklisted using config
\"activation { volume list = [ ... ] }\" (i.e. its SubLVs stay inactive),
the metadata SubLVs can't get wiped thus failing the creation.
As a result, the RaidLV together with its SubLVs
is left behind in an inconsistent state.
Fix by removing the RaidLV and provide a hint about volume_list reasoning.

Introduce prioritized_section() as a closer match to previous logic
of critical_section() that has been held over longer sequence of
ioctl commands - essentially it's matching operation on a single
cookie.
While 'critical_section()' now corresponds to locked memory - we hold
this memory only between suspend/resume thus notion of 'cookie' was
lost.
This patch restores some logic unintentionaly lost with dropping
memory locking for just activation/deactivation calls.
With these read errors it's useful to know the reason.
Also avoid to log error just once so we know exactly
how many times we did failing read.
On the other hand reduce repeated log_error() on code 'backtrace'
path and change severity of message to just log_debug() so the
actual read error is printed once for one read.
Just like lvm2 has internal devices like _tdata which is using UUID with
suffix, there is similar private type of device for crypto device where
they are using CRYPT-TEMP uuid prefix.
Also ignore stratis.
Some kernel version suffer from bad state transition where a device
steps into 'frozen' mode. Any application that tries to read such
raid gets unfortunatelly bloked.
As some sort of protection try to skip such raid device from being
scanned to minimize chances to block lvm2 command on such scan.
When such device is found, warning gets printed.
RaidLVs on read_only_volume_list have their SubLVs
activated readonly thus disabling metadata updates
or image resynchronization/recovery. Bug also causes
automatic repairs to fail.
Fix by always activating the RAID SubLVs readwrite.

When snapshot is created in read-only mode with 'lvcreate -s -pr...',
lvm2 still needs to be able to write to layered -cow volume
to store metadata and exceptions blocks.
TODO: in some case we might be able to do full tree with read-only
volume but this probably needs futher validation:
1. checking snapshot header already exist
2. origin & snapshot are both in read-only mode.
Occasionaly users may need to peek into 'component devices.
Normally lvm2 does not let users activation component.
This patch adds special mode where user can activate
component LV in a 'read-only' mode i.e.:
lvchange -ay vg/pool_tdata
All devices can be deactivated with:
lvchange -an vg | vgchange -an....
Introduce:
lv_is_component() check is LV is actually a component device.
lv_component_is_active() checking if any component device is active.
lv_holder_is_active() is any component holding device is active.
Instead of checking with existing size of external origin LV,
use correctly the new 'wanted' size of this LV whether it fits
the limitiation requirements for older thin-pool target.
Otherwise code started to the the resize, updates metadata and
just fails during 'resize' in case the LV was active. For
inactive LV operation could have actually passed.
Fix missing 'externalLV' traversing for thins with external origins.
Replace extra for_each_sub_lv_except_pools() with better
internal logic allowing selectively to cut of processed subLV tree.
Extend error code for function 'fn()' when it returns -1 it will
stop futher tree scan for given LV.
Also a bit simplify code to have only one place that
is calling 'fn()' and use level counter to know
depth of traversing.
Update renaming travering to skip trees for pools
and external origins.
While 'file-locking' code always dropped cached VG before
lock was taken - other locking types actually missed this.
So while the cache dropping has been implement for i.e. clvmd,
actually running command in cluster keept using cache even
when the lock has been i.e. dropped and taken again.
This rather 'hard-to-hit' error was noticable in some
tests running in cluster where content of PV has been
changed (metadata-balance.sh)
Fix the code by moving cache dropping directly lock_vol() function.
TODO: it's kind of strange we should ever need drop_cached_metadata()
used in several places - this all should happen automatically
this some futher thinking here is likely needed.
Avoid using same return code for reporting 2 different things
and stricly report error code by return value and add new
parameter for reporting monitoring status.
This makes easier to recognize which error we got from dm_event
and continue only with ENOENT.
Check if the generated vg name still fits the buffer.
So too long strings are rejected.
Drop -1 from size passed to snprintf - as the \0 is already included.
With pthreaded daemons like 'dmeventd' using liblvm via plugin,
lvm2 actually should not 'play' with streams at all - as there
could be parallel outputs running.
As a current quick workaround just disable change for pthreaded
program (gettid() != getpid()).
TODO: it's possible the change of buffering actually doesn't serve us
any measurable benefit and could be dropped as whole later...

In fact pvmove does support 'clustered-core' target for clustered
pvmove of LVs activated on multiple nodes.
This patch restores support for activation of pvmove on all nodes
for LVs that are also activate on all nodes.
Add protectional internall error whenever we spot activation
of 'exclusive' only segments in 'non-exclusive' mode.
TODO: possibly the activation locking could be enhanced to handle
this fully behind the scene - as for now this works purely for
lvchange/vgchange activation.
Use properly exclusive activation when reactivating origin after
snapshot merge (since origin must have been previously also exlusively
activated).
Same applies when converting volumes to thin-pool or cache.
Previously used 'only' local activation incorrectly allowed local
activation of some targets (i.e. raid) - thus 'leaking' chance to
activate same device on another node - which can be a problem
for device types like raid.
If the data being requested is present in last_[extra_]devbuf,
return that directly instead of reading it from disk again.
Typical LVM2 access patterns request data within two adjacent 4k blocks
so we eliminate some read() system calls by always reading at least 8k.
If it obtains the data, it passes it into the supplied callback function
and returns 1. Otherwise the callback receives failed = 1.
Updated config_file_read_fd to use this and similarly return the data
via a callback fn of its own.
Rename dev_read() to dev_read_buf() - the function that reads data
into a supplied buffer.
Introduce a new dev_read() that allocates the buffer it returns and
switch the important users over to this. No caller may change the
returned data. (For now, callers are responsible for freeing it after
use, but later the device layer will take full ownership.)
dev_read_buf() should only be used for tiny buffers or unimportant code
(such as the old disk formats).
If there is sufficient space in the metadata area, align the next
metadata to a disk offset that is a multiple of 4096 bytes and
don't write it circularly. If it doesn't all fit at the end
of the metadata area, go back to the start and write it all there
contiguously.
If there is insufficient space to use the new stricter rules, revert to
the original behaviour, aligning on 512-byte boundaries wrapping around
the circular buffer as required.
Even after writing some metadata encountered problems, some commands
continue (rightly or wrongly) and attempt to make further changes.
Once an mda is marked MDA_FAILED, don't try to use it again.
This also applies when reverting, where one loop already skips
failed mdas but the other doesn't.
This fixes some device open_count warnings on relevant failure paths.
Use new ALIGN_ABSOLUTE macro when calculating the start location
of new metadata and adjust the end of buffer detection so that
there is no longer an imposed gap between old and new metadata.
lvmdbusd executable script must use python3 interpreter detected by
configure script, as site-packages directory used for library is only
used by that interpreter.
Introduce enum dev_io_reason to categorise block device I/O
in debug messages so it's obvious what it is for.
DEV_IO_SIGNATURES /* Scanning device signatures */
DEV_IO_LABEL /* LVM PV disk label */
DEV_IO_MDA_HEADER /* Text format metadata area header */
DEV_IO_MDA_CONTENT /* Text format metadata area content */
DEV_IO_FMT1 /* Original LVM1 metadata format */
DEV_IO_POOL /* Pool metadata format */
DEV_IO_LV /* Content written to an LV */
DEV_IO_LOG /* Logging messages */
When entering any critical section, lvm2 used to lock process memory
and raised task priority to avoid problem with page swapping and minimize
time of having non-resumed devices in table.
With this patch, memory locking which which is expensive is only used when
entering 'suspending' section as only in this section there is risk
lvm could be suspending a device which later can be needed for paging.
Raised priority is still kept for all section entrances as this is
low-cost operation and may accelerate table resumes - although the real
impact can be still considered later.
When pvmove is finished and metadata are updated, the code missed
to merge possible mergable segments - so add explicit merging
call after pvmoved volumes are unlocked.
This avoids weird results where i.e. lvs could have been reporting
non-matching segments as lvs upon metadata read is doing silent segment
merging while dm table left after pvmove was still preserving
non-merged segments.
When large size number (>2^31) is given on command line it could be
misdetected and in certain cases lead to wrongly casted number.
So make sure all cases always do set _MAX number in case the value would
not fit within the supported range instead of getting some random value
within the range.
In most cases this was not a problem to detect, but i.e. stripesize
parameter might have been fooled by certain large numbers.
