Replace detach_pool_messages with update_pool_lv.
Move creation code from to 'if' condition into 1.
Ensure creation has finished all previous message operations.
All thins are created with the next activation and VG is updated
without messages. Only some basic commands works.
(i.e. lvcreate -an -V10 -T mvg/pool)
There can be some combination to confuse this system.
This functionality for snapshots is going to be interesting.
If something fails during creation of thin LV remove such LV
and deactivate in case it's been already tried to activate
(i.e. thin kernel driver fails for some reason.)
To ensure we properly handle LV cluster locking - explicitely do
not allow to change the availability of the thin pool that is in use
for some thin LV.
As soon as the thin volume is created the only way to activate pool
is via implicit dependency.
Ignore thinpool open count for lv/vgchange operations.
Before adding a new virtual segment to LV, check first whether
the last segment isn't already of the same type. In this case
extend last segment instead of creating the new one.
Thin volumes should have always only 1 virtual segment, but it
helps also to virtual snapshot or error segtype..
Git commit ID 0864378250 was meant to disallow
'mirrored' logs for cluster mirrors. However, when add_mirror_log is used
to create the log (as is now the case when using 'lvcreate' or converting only
the log) the check is bypassed.
This patch adds the check to add_mirror_log.
pvck prints 'extra' character from the label since there is no '\0'
after the struct label entry and just uint64_t follows directly.
So avoid it by limiting 8 chars to be printed.

Since thin is not able to use _lv_insert_empty_sublvs,
remove its appearence from this function.
Start to use extend_pool() function for desired functionality
and modify lv_extend() for this.
Code in _lv_insert_empty_sublvs was not able to provide proper
initialization order for thin pool LV.
New function extend_pool() first adds metadata segment to pool LV which
is still visible. Such LV is activate and cleared.
Then new meta LV is created and metadata segments are moved there.
Now the preallocated pool data segment is attached to the pool LV
and layer _tpool is created. Finaly segment is marked as thin_pool.
This function could be useful for other _manip source files.
Use dm_list manipulation function for provided functionality,
which make the code more readable and avoid touching list
internal details here.
Couple FIXMEs put into the code for parts of the code which may be
improved later, since we might be able to add 'lazy' device creation later.
For now require exclusive activation.
lvm part of messaging.
Each message is now stored it's own thin pool section:
message1 {
create = lv
}
Messages are queued to thin pool dm target when this target
is going to be resumed or used through some dependency.
Currently 'delete' message are purely queued and processed
with next thin pool resume operation (i.e. create_thin).
WARNING - thin provisioning support is developmental code.
Properly detect if the filters were refreshed properly.
(May needs few more fixes ??)
Filter refresh may fail because it may be out of free file descriptors
when clvmd gets overloaded.
Example:
~> lvconvert --type raid1 vg/mirror_lv
Steps to convert "mirror" to "raid1"
1) Allocate a RAID metadata LV for each mirror image from the same PVs
on which they are located.
2) Clear the metadata LVs. This involves writing LVM metadata, so we don't
change any aspects of the mirror LV before this so that the user can easily
remove LVs from the failed convert attempt while retaining the original
mirror.
3) Remove the mirror log, if it exists.
4) Add metadata LVs to mirror LV
5) Rename mirror sub-lvs (s/mimage/rimage/)
6) Change flags and segtype from mirror to raid1
Example:
~> lvconvert --type raid1 -m 1 vg/lv
The following steps are performed to convert linear to RAID1:
1) Allocate a metadata device from the same PV as the linear device
to provide the metadata/data LV pair required for all RAID components.
2) Allocate the required number of metadata/data LV pairs for the
remaining additional images.
3) Clear the metadata LVs. This performs a LVM metadata update.
4) Create the top-level RAID LV and add the component devices.
We want to make any failure easy to unwind. This is why we don't create the
top-level LV and add the components until the last step. Should anything
happen before that, the user could simply remove the unnecessary images. Also,
we want to ensure that the metadata LVs are cleared before forming the array to
prevent stale information from polluting the new array.
A new macro 'seg_is_linear' was added to allow us to distinguish linear LVs
from striped LVs.
This patch allows a mirror to be extended without an initial resync of the
extended portion. It compliments the existing '--nosync' option to lvcreate.
This action can be done implicitly if the mirror was created with the '--nosync'
option, or explicitly if the '--nosync' option is used when extending the device.
Here are the operational criteria:
1) A mirror created with '--nosync' should extend with 'nosync' implicitly
[EXAMPLE]# lvs vg; lvextend -L +5G vg/lv ; lvs vg
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert
lv vg Mwi-a-m- 5.00g lv_mlog 100.00
Extending 2 mirror images.
Extending logical volume lv to 10.00 GiB
Logical volume lv successfully resized
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert
lv vg Mwi-a-m- 10.00g lv_mlog 100.00
2) The 'M' attribute ('M' signifies a mirror created with '--nosync', while 'm'
signifies a mirror created w/o '--nosync') must be preserved when extending a
mirror created with '--nosync'. See #1 for example of 'M' attribute.
3) A mirror created without '--nosync' should extend with 'nosync' only when
'--nosync' is explicitly used when extending.
[EXAMPLE]# lvs vg; lvextend -L +5G vg/lv; lvs vg
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert
lv vg mwi-a-m- 20.00m lv_mlog 100.00
Extending 2 mirror images.
Extending logical volume lv to 5.02 GiB
Logical volume lv successfully resized
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert
lv vg mwi-a-m- 5.02g lv_mlog 0.39
vs.
[EXAMPLE]# lvs vg; lvextend -L +5G vg/lv --nosync; lvs vg
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert
lv vg mwi-a-m- 20.00m lv_mlog 100.00
Extending 2 mirror images.
Extending logical volume lv to 5.02 GiB
Logical volume lv successfully resized
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert
lv vg Mwi-a-m- 5.02g lv_mlog 100.00
4) The 'm' attribute must change to 'M' when extending a mirror created without
'--nosync' is extended with the '--nosync' option. (See #3 examples above.)
5) An inactive mirror's sync percent cannot be determined definitively, so it
must not be allowed to skip resync. Instead, the extend should ask the user if
they want to extend while performing a resync.
[EXAMPLE]# lvchange -an vg/lv
[EXAMPLE]# lvextend -L +5G vg/lv
Extending 2 mirror images.
Extending logical volume lv to 10.00 GiB
vg/lv is not active. Unable to get sync percent.
Do full resync of extended portion of vg/lv? [y/n]: y
Logical volume lv successfully resized
6) A mirror that is performing recovery (as opposed to an initial sync) - like
after a failure - is not allowed to extend with either an implicit or
explicit nosync option. [You can simulate this with a 'corelog' mirror because
when it is reactivated, it must be recovered every time.]
[EXAMPLE]# lvcreate -m1 -L 5G -n lv vg --nosync --corelog
WARNING: New mirror won't be synchronised. Don't read what you didn't write!
Logical volume "lv" created
[EXAMPLE]# lvs vg
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert
lv vg Mwi-a-m- 5.00g 100.00
[EXAMPLE]# lvchange -an vg/lv; lvchange -ay vg/lv; lvs vg
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert
lv vg Mwi-a-m- 5.00g 0.08
[EXAMPLE]# lvextend -L +5G vg/lv
Extending 2 mirror images.
Extending logical volume lv to 10.00 GiB
vg/lv cannot be extended while it is recovering.
7) If 'no' is selected in #5 or if the condition in #6 is hit, it should not
result in the mirror being resized or the 'm/M' attribute being changed.
NOTE: A mirror created with '--nosync' behaves differently than one created
without it when performing an extension. The former cannot be extended when
the mirror is recovering (unless in-active), while the latter can. This is
a reasonable thing to do since recovery of a mirror doesn't take long (at
least in the case of an on-disk log) and it would cause far more time in
degraded mode if the extension w/o '--nosync' was allowed. It might be
reasonable to add the ability to force the operation in the future. This
should /not/ force a nosync extension, but rather force a sync'ed extension.
IOW, the user would be saying, "Yes, yes... I know recovery won't take long
and that I'll be adding significantly to the time spent in degraded mode, but
I need the extra space right now!".
This patch also does some clean-up of the splitmirrors code.
I've attempted to clean-up the splitmirrors code to make it easier to
understand with fewer operations. I've tried to reduce the number of
metadata operations without compromising the intermediate stages which
are necessary for easy clean-up in the even of failure.
These changes now correctly handle cluster situations - including exclusive
cluster mirrors. Whereas before, a splitmirror operation would result in
remote nodes having LVM commands report the newly split LV with a proper
name while DM commands would report the old (pre-split) names of the device.
IOW, there was a kernel/userspace mismatch.
The original commit comments can be located via this git commit ID:
7d8e615c0b
There were three possible solutions to the original problem proposed in the
initial check-in. The one chosen was as follows:
2) Do like _remove_mirror_images does and suspend the original, then suspend
the sub-lv (the error target), then resume the sub-lv, and finally resume the
original LV. This seems like extra pointless operations to me, but it doesn't
produce the error message (although, I'm not sure why) and it allows us to
leave the visible flag in place.
Turns out, the cluster also views the extra suspend/resume operations as
pointless too and ignores them. So, this solution doesn't work in a cluster.
Further, I've noticed that in addition to the remote cluster nodes still getting
I/O errors from scanning the error target, they also have a different LVM and
DM views of the same LV. IOW, while the LVM level (gotten from the LVM metadata)
sees the correct name for the newly split LV, device-mapper still maintains the
old names.
Because the original fix failed to completely fix the problem (or work-around it)
and because a better solution must be found to address the additional cluster
issue of device renaming, I am reverting the above mentioned commit.
Make limits for thin data_block_size and device_id part of public API.
FIXME: read them possible from some kernel header file in the future ?
But we may need to support different values for different versions ?
