178ff2becc Fix vgchange to process -a, --refresh, --monitor and --poll like lvchange.
Simultaneous -a and --refresh is not valid.
poll+monitor are valid together with or without -ay* (but not with -an*)

No longer print polling results summary if no LVs in the VG were polled.

2c33c8b80c Fix for bug 637936: killing both redundant logs causes deadlock
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:
<offending commit msg>
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().
</offending commit msg>

http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/LVM2/lib/metadata/mirror.c?cvsroot=lvm2&f=h#rev1.130

I've reverted the "clean-up" changes associated with that fix, but not what
that commit was actually fixing.

9443b5d4cd Convey need for snapshot-merge target in lvconvert error message and man

Add ->target_name to segtype_handler to allow a more specific target
name to be returned based on the state of the segment.

Result of trying to merge a snapshot using a kernel that doesn't have
the snapshot-merge target:

Before:
# lvconvert --merge vg/snap
  Can't expand LV lv: snapshot target support missing from kernel?
  Failed to suspend origin lv

After:
# lvconvert --merge vg/snap
  Can't process LV lv: snapshot-merge target support missing from kernel?
  Failed to suspend origin lv
  Unable to merge LV "snap" into it's origin.

Update the way how fsadm detects mounted filesystem.
With udev /dev/dm-XXX paths are now returned - but mount or /proc/mounts
prints names in form of /dev/mapper/vg-lv - so the match was not found.
Fixex RHBZ #638050.

Current solution uses same trick as mount and detects vg-lv name through
/sys where available - this should be reasonable safe.

Instead of calling mount without parameter to get actual mount table,
switch to use /proc/mounts directly.

637ac19e60 Rename 'flags' to 'status' for struct metadata_area.
In other LVM memory structures such as volume_group, the field
used to store flags is called "status", and on-disk fields are called
'flags', so rename the one inside metadata_area to be consistent.
Not only is it more consistent with existing code but is cleaner
to say "the status of this mda is ignored".

Background for this patch - prajnoha pinged me on IRC this morning
about a fix he was working on related to metadataignore when
metadata/dirs was set.  I was reviewing my patches from this year
and realized the 'flags' field was probably not the best choice
when I originally did the metadataignore patches.

b0485a996f Restrict lvm1 partial mode.
Current lvm1 allocation code seems to not properly
map segments on missing PVs.

For now disable this functionality.
(It never worked and previous commit just introduced segfault here.)

So the partial mode in lvm1 can only process missing PVs
with no LV segments only.

Also do not use random PV UUID for missing part but use fixed
string derived from VG UUID (to not confuse clvmd tests).

d20ce59b80 Add random suffix to archive file names to prevent races when being created.
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.

34cbedceaf This patch fixes an issue where cluster mirror write I/O
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.

6ec8c52201 This patch fixes a problem where the mirror polling process
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:
[root@bp-01 ~]# lvconvert -m1 vg/lv
  vg/lv: Converted: 43.4%
  ABORTING: Mirror percentage check failed.

a71d6051ed This patch fixes a potential for I/O to hang and LVM commands
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.

53670b18f5 Fix for bug 596453: multiple mirror image failures cause lvm repair...
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.

d0191bf9f4 Fix for bug 612291: dm devices of split off mirror images are not removed
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

'activate_lv' enjoins the other nodes in the cluster to process the lock
and activate the new LV.  clvmd output from remote node as follows:
do_lock_lv: resource 'zMseY7CBuO3Ty09vXlplPAHzD0Y0CovjrTdv0R1VcwggMwPdYhutHErRcwm5Nd2S', cmd = 0x19 LCK_LV_ACTIVATE (READ|LV|NONBLOCK), flags = 0x84 (DMEVENTD_MONITOR ), memlock = 1
sync_lock: 'zMseY7CBuO3Ty09vXlplPAHzD0Y0CovjrTdv0R1VcwggMwPdYhutHErRcwm5Nd2S' mode:1 flags=1
sync_lock: returning lkid 27b0001

2565ffad25 Fix clvmd init script return code when executed as non-root user.
clvmd daemon itself does the right thing when invoked as non-root, by
returning 4.

The patch removes the use daemon function from
/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions that´s unnecessary and has th bad habit to
mask the return codes from the real daemon.

Add a simple and generic check to see if clvmd is executed by root or not.

Our stop/reload/restart paths in the init script are complex and not all
the tools involved in the process are guaranteed to return 4 if executed
by non-root against a process that´s running as root (for example kill
-TERM will return -1 and parsing the output to catch the error is
suboptimal at best).

b123a82d73 Change default alignment of pe_start to 1MB.
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

626242c1bd Recognise and give preference to md device partitions (blkext major).
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.

8d2d4f1fa0 Fix for bug 619221 - log device splitting regression
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.)

498747d792 A misunderstanding of the return value of 'dm_bit' has been causing a data
corruption bug in cmirror.  'dm_bit' is only ever used as a boolean operation
within LVM, but it can return a range of values.  If the bit is set, a power of
2 is returned.  If the bit is unset, 0 is returned.

'log_test_bit' (a function in the cluster mirror log daemon code) has switched
to using the dm bit operations in rhel6.  There are two places in the daemon
code where 'log_test_bit' is not used merely as a boolean, but rather the
return value is used as the return value for the log functions 'is_clean' and
'in_sync' - having assumed that 'dm_bit' was returning 0 or 1 only.

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.

cbd41292a4 Taka's fix for handling failure of all mirrored log devices and
all but one mirror leg.

<patch header>
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)
  posted: https://www.redhat.com/archives/lvm-devel/2010-July/msg00009.html
  commit: https://www.redhat.com/archives/lvm-devel/2010-July/msg00027.html

  [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().

efaaf3146d Disallow mirrored logs in cluster mirrors.
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.
