'lvdisplay -m' tried to go through NULL policy settings,
when such policy was not defined for CachedLV.
Patch is fixing display of cache-pool without defined settings,
as this is now a valid pool and we mostly want users to define
these settings when actually really caching a LV.
Since cache LV can be a stacked device, there is no real reason
trying to use slight optimised tree for origin_only cache reload
(it could be even wrongly implemented in this case).
We can easily go with stardard tree load here.
When user runs command like 'lvconvert --splitcache' the operation
might be actually either slow or not making any progress in kernel,
so lets give user a chance to abort such operation.
When user press 'Ctrl+C' device table is restored to pre-flushing state.
Enhance reporting code, so it does not need to do 'extra' ioctl to
get 'status' of normal raid and provide percentage directly.
When we have 'merging' snapshot into raid origin, we still need to get
this secondary number with extra status call - however, since 'raid'
is always a single segment LV - we may skip 'copy_percent' call as
we directly know the percent and also with better precision.
NOTE: for mirror we still base reported number on the percetage of
transferred extents which might get quite imprecisse if big size
of extent is used while volume itself is smaller as reporting jump
steps are much bigger the actual reported number provides.
2nd.NOTE: raid lvs line report already requires quite a few extra status
calls for the same device - but fix will be need slight code improval.
Previously, we were treating non-RAID to RAID up-converts as a "resync"
operation. (The most common example being 'linear -> RAID1'.) RAID to
RAID up-converts or rebuilds of specific RAID images are properly treated
as a "recover" operation.
Since we were treating some up-convert operations as "resync", it was
possible to have scenarios where data corruption or data loss were
possibilities if the RAID hadn't been able to sync completely before a
loss of the primary source devices. In order to ensure that the user took
the proper precautions in such scenarios, we required a '--force' option
to be present. Unfortuneately, the force option was rendered useless
because there was no way to distiguish the failure state of a potentially
destructive repair from a nominal one - making the '--force' option a
requirement for any RAID1 repair!
We now treat non-RAID to RAID up-converts properly as "recover" operations.
This eliminates the scenarios that can potentially cause data loss or
data corruption; and this eliminates the need for the '--force' requirement.
This patch removes the requirement to specify '--force' for RAID repairs.
Two of the sync actions performed by the kernel (aka MD runtime) are
"resync" and "recover". The "resync" refers to when an entirely new array
is going through the process of initializing (or resynchronizing after an
unexpected shutdown). The "recover" is the process of initializing a new
member device to the array. So, a brand new array with all new devices
will undergo "resync". An array with replaced or added sub-LVs will undergo
"recover".
These two states are treated very differently when failures happen. If any
device is lost or replaced while "resync", there are no worries. This is
because any writes created from the inception of the array have occurred to
all the devices and can be safely recovered. Even though non-initialized
portions will still be resync'ed with uninitialized data, it is ok. However,
if a pre-existing device is lost (aka, the original linear device in a
linear -> raid1 convert) during a "recover", data loss can be the result.
Thus, writes are errored by the kernel and recovery is halted. The failed
device must be restored or removed. This is the correct behavior.
Unfortunately, we were treating an up-convert from linear as a "resync"
when we should have been treating it as a "recover". This patch
removes the special case for linear upconvert. It allows each new image
sub-LV to be marked with a rebuild flag and treats the array as 'in-sync'.
This has the correct effect of causing the upconvert to be treated as a
"recover" rather than a "resync". There is no need to flag these two states
differently in LVM metadata, because they are already considered differently
by the kernel RAID metadata. (Any activation/deactivation will properly
resume the "recover" process and not a "resync" process.)
We make this behavior change based on the presense of dm-raid target
version 1.9.0+.
Code path missed validation of lvcreate --cachepool argument.
If the non cache-pool LV was passed in, code has still continued
further work and failed later on internal error. Validate this
condition at right place now.
When a combination of thin-pool chunk size and thin-pool data size
goes beyond addressable limit, such volume creation is directly
prohibited.
Maximum usable thin-pool size is calculated with use of maximal support
metadata size (even when it's created smaller) and given chunk-size.
If the value data size is found to be too big, the command reports
error and operation fails.
Previously thin-pool was created however lots of thin-pool data LV was
not usable and this space in VG has been wasted.
Warn about a PV that has the in-use flag set, but appears in
the orphan VG (no VG was found referencing it.)
There are a number of conditions that could lead to this:
. The PV was created with no mdas and is used in a VG with
other PVs (with metadata) that have not yet appeared on
the system. So, no VG metadata is found by lvm which
references the in-use PV with no mdas.
. vgremove could have failed after clearing mdas but
before clearing the in-use flag. In this case, the
in-use flag needs to be manually cleared on the PV.
. The PV may have damanged/unrecognized VG metadata
that lvm could not read.
. The PV may have no mdas, and the PVs with the metadata
may have damaged/unrecognized metadata.
A PV holding VG metadata that lvm can't understand
(e.g. damaged, checksum error, unrecognized flag)
will appear as an in-use orphan, and will be cleared
by this repair code. Disable this repair until the
code can keep track of these problematic PVs, and
distinguish them from actual in-use orphans.
Switch METADATA_FORMAT flag usage to be stored via segtype
instead of 'status' flag which appeared to cause major
incompatibility troubles.
For backward compatiblity segtype flags are still accepted also
via 'status' bits which were used from version 2.02.169 so metadata
saved by this newer lvm2 version should still work nicely, although
new save version will no longer work on this older lvm2 version.
Allow storing LV status bits with segment type name field.
Switching to this since this field has better support for compatibility
with older version of lvm2 - since such unknown segtype will not cause
complete invisiblity of metadata from older lvm2 code - just the
particular LV will become unusable with unknown type of segment.
When 'fsadm' was running without terminal (i.e. pipe), it's been
automatically working like in '--yes'.
Detect terminal and only accept empty "" input in this mode.
Add more validation to catch mainly renamed devices, where
filesystem utils are not able to handle devices properly,
as they are not addressed by major:minor by rather via some
symbolic path names which can change over time via rename operation.
Offer possible interim LV types and display their aliases
(e.g. raid5 and raid5_ls) for all conversions between
striped and any raid LVs in case user requests a type
not suitable to direct conversion.
E.g. running "lvconvert --type raid5 LV" on a striped
LV will replace raid5 aka raid5_ls (rotating parity)
with raid5_n (dedicated parity on last image).
User is asked to repeat the lvconvert command to get to the
requested LV type (raid5 aka raid5_ls in this example)
when such replacement occurs.

Add an exception to not allowing lvchange to change properties
on hidden LVs. When a thin pool data LV is a cache LV, we
need to allow changing cache properties on the tdata sublv of
the thin pool.
Trap cases where the percentage calculation currently leads to an empty
LV and the message:
Internal error: Unable to create new logical volume with no extents
Additionally convert the calculated number of extents from physical to
logical when creating a mirror using a percentage that is based on
Physical Extents. Otherwise a command like 'lvcreate -m3 -l80%FREE'
can never leave any free space.
This brings the behaviour closer to that of lvresize.
(A further patch is needed to cover all the raid types.)
_check_reappeared_pv() incorrectly clears the MISSING_PV flags of
PVs with unknown devices.
While one caller avoids passing such PVs into the function, the other
doesn't. Move the check inside the function so it's not forgotten.
Without this patch, if the normal VG reading code tries to repair
inconsistent metadata while there is an unknown PV, it incorrectly
considers the missing PVs no longer to be missing and produces
incorrect 'pvs' output omitting the missing PV, for example.
Easy reproducer:
Create a VG with 3 PVs pv1, pv2, pv3.
Hide pv2.
Run vgreduce --removemissing.
Reinstate the hidden PV pv2 and at the same time hide a different PV
pv3.
Run 'pvs' - incorrect output.
Run 'pvs' again - correct output.

Using any arg with a command name in a script file
would cause the command to fail.
The name of the script file being executed was being passed
to lvm_register_commands() and define_commands(), which
prevented command defs from being defined (simple commands
were still being defined only by name which was enough for those
to still work when run trivially with no args).
Unless a change of the regionsize is requested via "lvconvert -R N ...",
keep the region size when the number of images changes in a raid1 LV.

When metadata LV size was over DM_THIN_MAX_METADATA_SIZE sectors,
the info() routine was incorrectly trying to match bigger size,
while we do never pass any bigger device.
Fixing a case, where lvs should be displaying status for metadata
LV with 16GB size.
We have to unset the LoadState variable from previous use when we check
for systemd unit state. We use this variable to check if systemd services
are loaded or not and if it is loaded, we issue systemctl commands to
enable/disable and start/stop the service. We don't issue these commands
if the unit is not loaded to avoid error messages which may confuse users.
Removing some unused new lines and changing some incorrect "can't
release until this is fixed" comments. Rename license.txt to make
it clear its merely an included file, not itself a licence.
Better support for lvdisplay.
By default info about running (in kernel) cache status is printed.

Cache pool read/writes metadata_format within its segment type..
For CachePoolLV unselected metadata format is NOT stored in metadata.
For CacheLV when metadata format is not present/selected in lvm2 metadata,
it's automatically assumed to be the version 1 (backward compatible).
To ensure older lvm2 will not 'miss-read' metadata with new version 2,
such LV is marked with METADATA_FORMAT status flag (segment is
specifying metadata format). So when cache uses metadata format 2,
it will become inaccesible on older system without such support.
(kernel dm cache < 1.10, lvm2 < 2.02.169).
Add new profilable configation setting to let user select
which metadata format of a created cache pool he wish to use.
By default the 'best' available format is autodetected at runtime,
but user may enforce format 1 or 2 ATM.
Code also detects availability for metadata2 supporting cache target.
In case of troubles user may easily Disable usage of this feature
by placing 'metadata2' into global/cache_disabled_features list.
Reuse same code for getting/setting cache parameters with lvcreate.
So there is single one place how to get vars from profiles and configs.
Variables declarations are moved to start of function and
there is no need to initialize them as they are always
defined by functions get_cache_params() and get_pool_params().
Since cache chunk might be huge and there is no technical need
to enforce rounding and there is actually more 'real' VG space
used then necessary - keep rounding on 'chunk' bounrary only
for thin volumes - where it's the space used anyway.
NB: we support conversion of any-size 'existing' LV into cached LV.
Fix missing reset of '*settings' pointer when no args were given.
Handle cache_chunk settings like all other settings, so it is properly
updated only with non-zero settings and the existing cache-pool
chunk_size is not being reconfigured.
User can specify metadata profile which stores important cache
geometry data for easy configuration.
Fix missing support for getting chunk_size, cache_mode, cache_policy
for a cache/cache pools volumes from configuration or metadata profile.

The MD kernel raid1 personality does no use any writemostly leg as the primary.
In case a previous linear LV holding data gets upconverted to
raid1 it becomes the primary leg of the new raid1 LV and a full
resynchronization is started to update the new legs.
No writemostly and/or writebehind setting may be allowed during
this initial, full synchronization period of this new raid1 LV
(using the lvchange(8) command), because that would change the
primary (i.e the previous linear LV) thus causing data loss.
lvchange has a bug not preventing this scenario.
Fix rejects setting writemostly and/or writebehind on resychronizing raid1 LVs.
Once we have status in the lvm2 metadata about the linear -> raid upconversion,
we may relax this constraint for other types of resynchronization
(e.g. for user requested "lvchange --resync ").
New lvchange-raid1-writemostly.sh test is added to the test suite.

Previously when lvremove tried to remove 'active' origin,
it had been asking for every 'snapshot' LV separately
and doing individual single snapshot removals first.
To be faster it now deactivates origin before removal
all connected snapshots.
This avoids multiple reloads of dm table for origin volume
which were unnecessary as origin was meant to be removed as well.
Some archs can use even 64K pages and then lvm2 runs into trouble if
the stack is 'too small' to fit extra page capturing stack overwrite.
So when lvm2 limits stack - add extra mem page - be it 4K or 64K.

When showing sizes with 'H|human' units we do use standard rounding.
This however is confusing users from time to time,
when the printed number uses some biger units i.e. GiB and there is just
tiny fraction of space missing.
So here is some real-life example with new 'r' unit.
$lvs
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin
lvol0 vg -wi-a----- 1.99g
lvol1 vg -wi-a----- <2.00g
lvol2 vg -wi-a----- <2.01g
Meaning is - lvol1 has 'slightly' less then 2.00g - from sign '<' user
can be aware the LV doesn't have full 2.00GiB in size so he
will be less surpriced allocation of 2G volume will not succeed.
$ vgs
VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree
vg 2 2 0 wz--n- <6,00g <2,01g
For uses needing 'old' undecorated human unit simply will continue
to use 'H|h' units.
The new R|r may further change when we would recongnize some
other way how to improve readability.
The blkdeactivate script processes MD devices too so we should unmount
any mount point on top of an MD device if blkdeactivate -u|--umount is
called.

During rework of resize code this validation check
has been lost (in my resize branch). Upstream
is still not supporting resize of any cache type LV
so needs to be prevented.
When we need to clear dirty cache content of cached LV, there
is table reload which usually is shortly followed by next metadata
change. However udev can't (as of now) process udev event
while device is 'suspended'.
So whenever sequence of 'suspend/resume/suspend' is needed,
we need to wait first for finishing of 'resume' processing before
starting next 'suspend'. Otherwise there is 'race' danger of triggering
unwantend umount by systemd as such event will trigger
SYSTEMD_READY=0 state for a moment for such changed device.
Such race is pretty ugly to trace so we may need to review more
sequencies for missing 'sync'.
(Other option is to enhnace 'udev' rules processing to avoid
such dramatic actions to be happening for suspended devices).
Solves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1280496
The only reasonable behaviour here is to error on
any number out of accepted range (i.e. now numbers
wrapping around with some hidden logic).
As this is plain bug there is no support for
backward compatibility since noone should
set numbers >UINT32_MAX and expect 0 or error
depending on how big number was used....
TODO: more fields might need to be converted.
When there is 'merging' of an origin in progress, but metadata stil
do provide both origin and snapshot, we should show data from merged
snapshot. This is important mainly for thin case, where there was
a window, where i.e. 'lvs -o+device_id' would report information
about 'already gone' origin thin LV.
This race window is usually hard to trigger but can be ocasionally hit.
Usually shortly after activation, but before polling process manages
to update metadata after merge.
Before starting polling process, validate the merge has actually started
so there is not pointless invoke of lvmpolld.
This also fixes reported message from command, so user has
correct info whether merging has already started or
if it's delayed for next activation.
Move individual segment validation to a separate function
executed for 'complete_vg'.
Move some 'extra' validation bits from 'raid' validation to global
segtype validation (so extending existing normal validation)
TODO: still some test are left to be moved.
Reduce some duplication in validation process - there are still
some left thought so still room for improving overal speed.
We can't keep 'display_lvname' for too long - it's using
ringbuffer and keeps limited number of names. So it's
safe only per few simple tests, but can't be used anymore
after some function calls..
(Fixes 00e641ef37)
When command calls backup() more then once (which is actually not
wanted) this warning message is shown repeatedly:
"WARNING: This metadata update is NOT backed up."
Instead now print message just once and less confuse user.
Add this functionality to lvconvert:
'lvconvert --thin cachedLV --thinpool vg/poll'
Converts cachedLV to external origin (which will be read-only).
New thin volume is created in thinpool LV and it's using external
origin as source for unprovisioned chunks.
This conversion happens online (while volume is in use).
Thin LV remains fully writable.
Cached external origin no longer could be written so cache will be used
ONLY for read operations. For this limitation we require cache mode
to be writethrough (as writeback cannot write to read-only volumes).
When thinLV is later removed cached external origin is again
fully usable, just note, LV remain in 'read-only' mode.
When read-write is needed, 'lvchange -prw' has to be used.
Single external origin could be user by multiple thinLV in
multiple differen thin pool.
When cache volume may be converted from normal to -real layer LV
we need to improve logic for call cache_check.
With this patch, we register call for cache_check only when metadata LV
is not yet present in active table slot (should match initial table
load).
This avoids unwanted checking when cache would become layer device
online.
External origin could be reloaded via more locks.
It's actually even more complex then thin-pool,
as it may be active on more nodes for linear LVs
(and maybe even more types).
External origin is always read-only thus unmodifiable
device so there should not be a problem accesing it
through multiple nodes.
Also for thin-pool check first presence of active thin-pool.
FIXME:
It's not easy to detect on which nodes this device is active
Thus manipulation with such device may require checking every
node and it active state and refresh.
But since such setup is quite complex to prepare and use,
hopefully there are not user trying to 'explore' this usage yet.
To be ready to show status of cache volume, call the status
with layer. Layer is automatically detected in this case when
cache volume is used in 'layered' form (needs -real suffix).
Avoid printing misleading message about single dirty block.
Instead properly detect condition where the 'cleaner' policy
needs to be installed without 'overloading' dirty variable.
Also print warning if we would be clearing read-only volume.
(it really shouldn't happen).
External origin could be activated as stand-alone device.
When the last thin LV is removed, external origin is no longer
the external origin and it's layer property was dropped.
Ensure dm table is correct by reloading external origin
(when it's active).
When LV is external origin, show info for LV but
status for -layer. So we expose more info to a user
as otherwise active external origin is only linear
mapping of -real layer.
We do the same for i.e. old snaphost origin.
Activation of raid has brough up also splitted image with tracing
(without taking lock for this).
So when raid is now activate - such image is not put into
table (with _rmeta). When user needs such device, just active it.
