results in clvmd deadlock
When a logical volume is activated exclusively in a cluster, the
local (non-cluster-aware) target is used. However, when creating
a snapshot on the exclusive LV, the resulting suspend/resume fails
to load the appropriate device-mapper table - instead loading the
cluster-aware target.
This patch adds an 'exclusive' parameter to the pertinent resume
functions to allow for the right target type to be loaded.

In order to achieve this, we need to be able to query whether
the origin is active exclusively (a condition of being able to
add an exclusive snapshot).
Once we are able to query the exclusive activation of an LV, we
can safely create/activate the snapshot.
A change to 'hold_lock' was also made so that a request to aquire
a WRITE lock did not replace an EX lock, which is already a form
of write lock.
Add new function dm_task_set_add_node() to select between 2 types

DM_ADD_NODE_ON_RESUME is now default and ensures node is created on

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

Thanks to CLVMD_CMD_SYNC_NAMES propagation fix the message passing started

Also add support for this new message into external locking

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.

The problem is missing implicit fs_unlock() in the no_locking code.
This is used with --sysinit on read-only filesystem locking dir.
In this case vgchange -ay could exit before all udev nodes are properly

Because only one clvmd can run in time, we can use simpler logic,

Add lvm_do_fs_unlock()

problem also for cluster - thus no extra command for clustering

Add fs_unlock() also to set_lv() so the command waits until devices
are ready for regular open (i.e. wiping its begining).
Move fs_unlock() prototype to activation.h to keep fs.h private

A merged snapshot's DM device is made to use the "error" target as part
of lvm's transaction to merge a snapshot. This snapshot merge use-case
aside, any device using the error target shouldn't be scanned.
Problem:
When both legs of a mirrored log fail, neither the log nor the parent
mirror can proceed. The repair code must be careful to replace the
log with an error target before operating on the parent - otherwise,
the parent can get stuck trying to suspend because it can't push through
any writes. The steps to replace the log device with an error target
were incomplete and resulted in the replacement not happening at all!
The code originally had all the necessary logic to complete the
replacement task, but was pulled out in a effort to clean-up that
section of code, while fixing another bug:

In addition, I added following three changes.
- Removed tmp_orphan_lvs handling procedure
It seems that _delete_lv() can handle detached_log_lv properly
without adding mirror legs in mirrored log to tmp_orphan_lvs.
Therefore, I removed the procedure.
- Removed vg_write()/vg_commit()
Metadata is saved by vg_write()/vg_commit() just after detached_log_lv
is handled. Therefore, I removed vg_write()/vg_commit().

In other LVM memory structures such as volume_group, the field

Background for this patch - prajnoha pinged me on IRC this morning

In certain configurations, we're not under a VG rw lock while trying to write
a new archive file with VG metadata. A common example is using "vgs" while
having the content of backup and archive directories empty. The code scans the
content of these directories and tries to determine the final index that should
be used in archive name. Since we're not under a lock, we can get into a race
while choosing the index which could end up showing errors about not being able
to rename to final archive name. Let's add random number suffix to these archive
file names so we can avoid the race.
For example, when using '--config "backup { ... }"' line, the values from
lvm.conf (or default values) should be overridden. This patch adds
reinitialisation of archive and backup handling on toolcontext refresh
which makes these settings to be applied.
can be opprobriously slow if created with '--nosync'.
One of the ways cluster mirrors coordinate I/O and recovery
amoung the different machines is by the use of the log
function 'is_remote_recovering()' which lets nodes know if
a region they wish to perform a write on is currently being
recovered on another node. If the region is being recovered,
the I/O is delayed.
The 'is_remote_recovering' routine has been optimized to
avoid the deluge of requests that would be issued to the
userspace log server by maintaining a marker of how far
the recovery has gotten. It can then immediately return
'not recovering' if the region being inquired about is
less than this mark. Additionally, if the region of
concern is greater than the mark, the function will
limit the number of transmissions to userspace by assuming
the region /is/ being recovered when skipping the
transmission. This limits the amount of processing
and updates the mark in 1/4 sec time steps.
This patch fixes a problem where 'the mark' is not being
updated because of faulty logic in the userspace log
daemon. When '--nosync' is used to create a cluster
mirror, the userspace log daemon never has a chance
to update the mark in the normal way. The fix is to set
the mark to "complete" if the mirror was created with
the --nosync flag.
may never complete.
If you convert from a linear to a mirror and then convert that
mirror back to linear /while/ the previous (up)convert is
taking place, the mirror polling process will never complete.
This is because the function that polls the mirror for
completion doesn't check if it is still polling a mirror and
the copy_percent that it gets back from the linear device is
certainly never 100%.
The fix is simply to check if the daemon is still looking at
a mirror device - if not, return PROGRESS_CHECK_FAILED.
The user sees the following output from the first (up)convert
if someone else sneaks in and does a down-convert shortly
after their convert:

to block when a mirror under a snapshot suffers a failure.
The problem has to do with label scanning. When a mirror suffers
a failure, the kernel blocks I/O to prevent corruption. When
LVM attempts to repair the mirror, it scans the devices on the
system for LVM labels. While mirrors are skipped during this
scanning process, snapshot-origins are not. When the origin is
scanned, it kicks up I/O to the mirror (which is blocked)
underneath - causing the label scan (an thus the repair operation)
to hang.
This patch simply bypasses snapshot-origin devices when doing
labels scans (while ignore_suspended_devices() is set). This
fixes the issue.

Add "devices/default_data_alignment" to lvm.conf to control the internal
default that LVM2 uses: 0==64k, 1==1MB, 2==2MB, etc.
If --dataalignment (or lvm.conf's "devices/data_alignment") is specified
then it is always used to align the start of the data area. This means
the md_chunk_alignment and data_alignment_detection are disabled if set.
(Same now applies to pvcreate --dataalignmentoffset, the specified value
will be used instead of the result from data_alignment_offset_detection)
set_pe_align() still looks to use the determined default alignment
(based on lvm.conf's default_data_alignment) if the default is a
multiple of the MD or topology detected values.
In all top vg read functions only LCK_VG_READ/WRITE can be used.

two of above and we always upgrading to LCK_VG_WRITE lock there.

One shiny day we should use libblkid here. But now using LUKS is
very common together with LVM and pvcreate destroys LUKS completely.
So for user's convenience, try to detect LUKS signature and allow abort.
This is not only undocumented but is is also in violation with --help
documentation.
Using --yes without --force is useful in pvcreate when it detects
old signature.
pvcreate detects MD and swap signature.
The logic hidden there is not only documented but it is also
user unfriendly. Who invented this logic should run pvcreate
on its own critical MD device to see why;-)
This patch
- creates one function instead of duplication code
- asks if user want to overwrite signature
- allows aborting (!)
(Please note that writing LVM signatute without wiping old
is wrong, it confuses blkid, MD will not work anyway and
swap and LUKS is broken too.)
The lvm repair issues I believe are the superficial symptoms of this
bug - there are worse issues that are not as clearly seen. From my
inline comments:
* If the mirror was successfully recovered, we want to always
* force every machine to write to all devices - otherwise,
* corruption will occur. Here's how:
* Node1 suffers a failure and marks a region out-of-sync
* Node2 attempts a write, gets by is_remote_recovering,
* and queries the sync status of the region - finding
* it out-of-sync.
* Node2 thinks the write should be a nosync write, but it
* hasn't suffered the drive failure that Node1 has yet.
* It then issues a generic_make_request directly to
* the primary image only - which is exactly the device
* that has suffered the failure.
* Node2 suffers a lost write - which completely bypasses the
* mirror layer because it had gone through generic_m_r.
* The file system will likely explode at this point due to
* I/O errors. If it wasn't the primary that failed, it is
* easily possible in this case to issue writes to just one
* of the remaining images - also leaving the mirror inconsistent.
*
* We let in_sync() return 1 in a cluster regardless of what is
* in the bitmap once recovery has successfully completed on a
* mirror. This ensures the mirroring code will continue to
* attempt to write to all mirror images. The worst that can
* happen for reads is that additional read attempts may be
* taken.
Ignore snapshots when performing mirror recovery beneath an origin.
Pass LCK_ORIGIN_ONLY flag around cluster.
Add suspend_lv_origin and resume_lv_origin using LCK_ORIGIN_ONLY.
DM devices were not handled properly on nodes in a cluster that were not
where the splitmirrors command was issued. This was happening because
suspend_lv/resume_lv were being used in a place where activate_lv should
have been used.
When the suspend/resume are issued on (effectively) new LVs, their
'resource' (UUID) is not located in the lv_hash. Thus, both operations
turn into no-ops. You can see this from the output of clvmd from one
of the remote nodes:
<snip>
do_suspend_lv, lock not already held
<snip>
do_resume_lv, lock not already held

The new standard in the storage industry is to default alignment of data
areas to 1MB. fdisk, parted, and mdadm have all been updated to this
default.
Update LVM to align the PV's data area start (pe_start) to 1MB. This
provides a more useful default than the previous default of 64K (which
generally ended up being a 192K pe_start once the first metadata area
was created).
Before this patch:
# pvs -o name,vg_mda_size,pe_start
PV VMdaSize 1st PE
/dev/sdd 188.00k 192.00k
After this patch:
# pvs -o name,vg_mda_size,pe_start
PV VMdaSize 1st PE
/dev/sdd 1020.00k 1.00m
The heuristic for setting the default alignment for LVM data areas is:
- If the default value (1MB) is a multiple of the detected alignment
then just use the default.
- Otherwise, use the detected value.
In practice this means we'll almost always use 1MB -- that is unless:
- the alignment was explicitly specified with --dataalignment
- or MD's full stripe width, or the {minimum,optimal}_io_size exceeds
1MB
- or the specified/detected value is not a power-of-2
Introduce --norestorefile to allow user to override the new requirement.
This can also be overridden with "devices/require_restorefile_with_uuid"
in lvm.conf -- however the default is 1.

We can already detect MD devices internally. But when using MD partitions,
these have "block extended major" (blkext) assigned (259). Blkext major
is also used in general, so we need to check whether the original device
is an MD device actually.
An incorrect fix on July 13, 2010 for an annoyance has caused a regression.
The offending check-in was part of the 2.02.71 release of LVM. That
check-in caused any PVs specified on the command line to be ignored when
performing a mirror split.
This patch reverses the aforementioned check-in (solving the regressions)
and posits a new solution to the list reversal problem. The original
problem was that we would always take the lowest mimage LVs from a mirror
when performing a split, but what we really want is to take the highest
mimage LVs. This patch accomplishes that by working through the list in
reverse order - choosing the higher numbered mimages first. (This also
reduces the amount of processing necessary.)

One place the 'in_sync' function is utilized is in 'dm_rh_get_state' - a
function that informs the mirroring code how to treat I/O and which devices to
read/write from. 'dm_rh_get_state' was checking if the return value of
'in_sync' was 1 to determine if the region was DM_RH_CLEAN. Since 'dm_bit'
(and by extension 'log_test_bit' and 'in_sync') was returning powers of 2,
DM_RH_CLEAN was rarely being reported as it should have been. Thinking the
region was out-of-sync, the mirroring code would write only to the primary
device. When the primary device was failed, all of those writes were lost -
leaving the entire mirror corrupted.

To handle a double failure of a mirrored log, Jon's two patches are
commited, however, lvconvert command can't still handle an error
when mirror leg and mirrored log got failure at the same time.
[Patch]: Handle both devices of a mirrored log failing (bug 607347)

[Patch]: Handle both devices of a mirrored log failing (bug 607347) -
additional fix
posted: https://www.redhat.com/archives/lvm-devel/2010-July/msg00093.html
commit: https://www.redhat.com/archives/lvm-devel/2010-July/msg00101.html
In the second patch, the target type of mirrored log is replaced with
error target when remove_log is set to 1, but this procedure should be
also used in other cases such as the number of mirror leg is 1. This
patch relocates the procedure to the main path.
In addition, I added following three changes.
- Removed tmp_orphan_lvs handling procedure
It seems that _delete_lv() can handle detached_log_lv properly
without adding mirror legs in mirrored log to tmp_orphan_lvs.
Therefore, I removed the procedure.
- Removed vg_write()/vg_commit()
Metadata is saved by vg_write()/vg_commit() just after detached_log_lv
is handled. Therefore, I removed vg_write()/vg_commit().
- With Jon's second patch, we think that we don't have to call
remove_mirror_log() in _lv_update_mirrored_log() because will be
handled remove_mirror_images() in _lvconvert_mirrors_repaire().

The cluster log daemon (cmirrord) is not multi-threaded and
can handle only one request at a time. When a log is stacked
on top of a mirror (which itself contains a 'core' log), it
creates a situation that cannot be solved without threading.
When the top level mirror issues a "resume", the log daemon
attempts to read from the log device to retrieve the log
state. However, the log is a mirror which, before issuing
the read, attempts to determine the 'sync' status of the
region of the mirror which is to be read. This sync status
request cannot be completed by the daemon because it is
blocked on a read I/O to the very mirror requesting the
sync status.
With mirror_log_fault_policy of 'remove' and mirror_image_fault_policy
of 'allocate', the log type of the mirror volume is converted from
'disk' or 'mirrored' to 'core' when all mirror legs but one in a mirror
volume broke.
Keep new_log_count as a number of valid log devices by using log_count
variable for a temporary usage in the first phase of error recovery
in _lvconvert_mirrors_repair().

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.
[root@bp-01 LVM2]# lvcreate -m1 -l1 -n lv vg -v
Setting logging type to disk

Archiving volume group "vg" metadata (seqno 3).
Creating logical volume lv
Executing: /sbin/modprobe dm-log-userspace
Cluster mirror log daemon is not running
Shared cluster mirrors are not available.
Creating volume group backup "/etc/lvm/backup/vg" (seqno 4).
The main problem with these bugs was that the newly split
off LV was not being suspended properly. This meant that
the memlock count was not being balanced, the DM devices
were not being renamed, and some DM devices which should
have been removed were not.
I've also renamed some of the variables and added comments
to make things clearer as to what is going on. (I can break
this patch in two if it means easier review.)
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.
