Previously, duplicate PVs were processed as a side effect
of processing the "chosen" PV in lvmcache. The duplicate
PV would be hacked into lvmcache temporarily in place of
the chosen PV.
In the old way, we had to always process the "chosen" PV
device, even if a duplicate of it was named on the command
line. This meant we were processing a different device than
was asked for. This could be worked around by naming
multiple duplicate devs on the command line in which case
they were swapped in and out of lvmcache for processing.
Now, the duplicate devs are processed directly in their
own processing loop. This means we can remove the old
hacks related to processing dups as a side effect of
processing the chosen device. We can now simply process
the device that was named on the command line.
When the same PVID exists on two or more devices, one device
is preferred and used in the VG, and the others are duplicates
and are not used in the VG. The preferred device exists in
lvmcache as usual. The duplicates exist in a specical list
of unused duplicate devices.
The duplicate devs have the "d" attribute and the "duplicate"
reporting field displays "duplicate" for them.
'pvs' warns about duplicates, but the formal output only
includes the single preferred PV.
'pvs -a' has the same warnings, and the duplicate devs are
included in the output.
'pvs <path>' has the same warnings, and displays the named
device, whether it is preferred or a duplicate.
Wait to compare and choose alternate duplicate devices until
after all devices are scanned. During scanning, the first
duplicate dev is kept in lvmcache, and others are kept in a
new list (_found_duplicate_devs).
After all devices are scanned, compare all the duplicates
available for a given PVID and decide which is best.
If the dev used in lvmcache is changed, drop the old dev
from lvmcache entirely and rescan the replacement dev.
Previously the VG metadata from the old dev was kept in
lvmcache and only the dev was replaced.
A new config setting devices/allow_changes_with_duplicate_pvs
can be set to 0 which disallows modifying a VG or activating
LVs in it when the VG contains PVs with duplicate devices.
Set to 1 is the old behavior which allowed the VG to be
changed.
The logic for which of two devs is preferred has changed.
The primary goal is to choose a device that is currently
in use if the other isn't, e.g. by an active LV.
. prefer dev with fs mounted if the other doesn't, else
. prefer dev that is dm if the other isn't, else
. prefer dev in subsystem if the other isn't
If neither device is preferred by these rules, then don't
change devices in lvmcache, leaving the one that was found
first.
The previous logic for preferring a device was:
. prefer dev in subsystem if the other isn't, else
. prefer dev without holders if the other has holders, else
. prefer dev that is dm if the other isn't
Rather than doing repeated translations from name to
device when comparing args to existing PVs, do one
translation of the arg names and saving the device,
before checking existing PVs.
pvscan autoactivation has its own VG processing implementation,
so it can't properly handle things like foreign or shared VGs,
so make it ignore those VG types (or errors from them) as best
as possible.
Add a FIXME stating that pvscan autoactivation must really be
moved to the standard VG processing by calling process_each_vg
to do activation once the scanning / cache update is finished.
The lvmetad connection is created within the
init_connections() path during command startup,
rather than via the old lvmetad_active() check.
The old lvmetad_active() checks are replaced
with lvmetad_used() which is a simple check that
tests if the command is using/connected to lvmetad.
The old lvmetad_set_active(cmd, 0) calls, which
stopped the command from using lvmetad (to revert to
disk scanning), are replaced with lvmetad_make_unused(cmd).
Commands already check if the lvmetad token is valid,
and if not, they rescan devices to repopulate lvmetad
before running. Now, in addition to checking the
lvmetad token, they also check if the lvmetad disabled
flag is set. If so, they do not use the lvmetad cache
and revert to disk scanning.
process_each_pv was doing:
1. lvmcache_seed_infos_from_lvmetad()
sends pv_list request to lvmetad.
2. get_vgnameids()
sends vg_list request to lvmetad.
3. _get_all_devices()
first calls lvmcache_seed_infos_from_lvmetad(),
which is a no-op if it's already been called.
Because get_vgnameids() does not use the information
from lvmcache_seed_infos_from_lvmetad(), it does not
need to be called prior to get_all_devices where
it is actually needed.
Commit 971ab733b74e0ffecc3f9f60af48628cd3fba1db ("thin: activation of
merging thin snapshot") also added an incorrect deactivation attempt
for non-thin LVs: find_snapshot(lv)->lv is not designed to be
activated and any attempt to deactivate it is incorrect.
Move checking the lvmetad state, and the possible rescan,
out of lvmetad_send() to the start of the command.
Previously, the token mismatch and rescan would occur
within lvmetad_send() for some other request. Now,
the token mismatch is detected earlier, so the
rescan can be done before the main command is in
progress. Rescanning deep within the processing of
another command will disturb the lvmcache state of
that other command.
A rescan already exists at the start of the command
for the case where foreign VGs are going to be read.
This same rescan is now also performed when there is
an lvmetad token mismatch (from a changed global_filter).
The commands pvscan/vgscan/lvscan/vgimport are excluded
from this preemptive checking/rescanning for lvmetad
because they want to do rescanning themselves explicitly.
If rescanning devices fails, then lvmetad has not been
correctly repopulated and should not be used, so make
the command revert to not using lvmetad.
We don't have any report field of this type yet. Return this patch into
the play if we really need that. Currenly we always report status
(result of "status" dm ioctl) for an LV as a whole where we choose
segment which represents the LV, not calling status for each possible
segment it contains - we don't need this now so I'm removing it to
not make the code more complex uselessly.
This is hotfix for RHBZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1324537
However already the %FREE is not a good fit and we need something
better. Meanwhile make -l%PVS work at least as good as %FREE
for thin-pool.
TODO: this needs rework - it should be allocator to do all the size
decisions at one place.
Allow pvchange and pvresize to process exported VGs,
and have them check for the exported state in their
single function.
Previously, the exported VG state would trigger a
failure in vg_read()/ignore_vg() because the VGs are
being read with READ_FOR_UPDATE. Because these commands
read all VGs to search for the intended PVs, any
exported VG would trigger a failure, even if it was
not related to the intended PV.
Use <> around user entered option parameters to make it visually
different (just like we use Italic style in man page).
TODO:
In the future we should consistently provide such notation and
possibly generate it automagically from some internal data structures.
Preferably for man pages as well so we report actual set of supported
options.
Commit abd9618dd8b77ca1974074ae76fa6a08f1a687d9 tried to improve
parsing of vg name from logical path - but still missed couple
corner cases.
This patch further improves the logic and reuses
validate_lvname_param() for parsing of lv_name.
Also explicitly checks for LVM_VG_NAME in the right case.
So now also properly parses cases like:
'lvconvert --repairt vg/'
and will provide correct error message.
With the recent conversion of pvcreate/pvremove to the
common toollib processing function, skipping in-use PVs
in _process_pvs_in_vg prevented them from being protected
as intended by the in-use flag.
The processing code for pvcreate/pvremove checks for the
in-use state itself and prevents using an in-use PV.
If a PV is skipped, it looks like an unused device and
is not protected from being used in pvcreate/pvremove.
This command option can be used to trigger a D-Bus
notification independent of the usual notifications
that are sent from other commands as an effect of
changes to PV/VG/LV state. If lvm is not built with
dbus notification support or if notify_dbus is disabled
in the config, this command will exit with an error.
When a command modifies a PV or VG, or changes the
activation state of an LV, it will send a dbus
notification when the command is finished. This
can be enabled/disabled with a config setting.
The metadata/record_lvs_history is global switch which enables or
disables recording historical LVs in metadata.
If both metadata/record_lvs_history=1 lvm.conf option and
--nohistory command switch is used at the same time, the
--nohistory prevails.
When processing LVs in a VG and when the -H|--history switch is used,
make process_each_lv_in_vg to iterate over historical volumes too.
For each historical LV, we use dummy struct logical_volume instance with
the "this_glv" reference set to a wrapper over proper struct
historical_logical_volume representation. This makes it possible to process
historical LVs just like normal live LVs (though a dummy one without any
segments and all the other fields zeroed and blank) and it also allows
for using all historical LV related information via lv->this_glv->historical
reference.
One can use a simple call to lv_is_historical to make a difference between
live and historical LV in all the code that is called by process_each_* fns.
This patch adds "include_historical_lvs" field to struct cmd_context to
make it possible for the command to switch between original funcionality
where no historical LVs are processed and functionality where historical
LVs are taken into account (and reported or processed further). The switch
between these modes is done using the '-H|--history' switch on command
line.
The include_historical_lvs state is then passed to process_each_* fns
using the "include_historical_lvs" field within struct processing_handle.
Add new structures and new fields in existing structures to support
tracking history of LVs (the LVs which don't exist - the have been
removed already):
- new "struct historical_logical_volume"
This structure keeps information specific to historical LVs
(historical LV is very reduced form of struct logical_volume +
it contains a few specific fields to track historical LV
properties like removal time and connections among other LVs).
- new "struct generic_logical_volume"
Wrapper for "struct historical_logical_volume" and
"struct logical_volume" to make it possible to handle volumes
in uniform way, no matter if it's live or historical one.
- new "struct glv_list"
Wrapper for "struct generic_logical_volume" so it can be
added to a list.
- new "indirect_glvs" field in "struct logical_volume"
List that stores references to all indirect users of this LV - this
interconnects live LV with historical descendant LVs or even live
descendant LVs.
- new "indirect_origin" field in "struct lv_segment"
Reference to indirect origin of this segment - this interconnects
live LV (segment) with historical ancestor.
- new "this_glv" field in "struct logical_volume"
This references an existing generic_logical_volume wrapper for this
LV, if used. It can be NULL if not needed - which means we're not
handling historical LVs at all.
- new "historical_lvs" field in "struct volume group
List of all historical LVs read from VG metadata.
