It was not possible to pass down the DM_[FORCE|NO]SYNC flags to
'dm_tree_node_add_raid_target'. This meant that converting to 'raid1' from
'mirror' would cause a full resync. (It also meant that '--nosync' was
ineffective when creating a 'raid1' LV.)
I've taken the 'reserved' parameter in 'dm_tree_node_add_raid_target' and
used it for the "flags" parameter. Now it is possible to pass the sync
flags and any other flags that may come up.
Move commod code to destroy orphan VG into free_orphan_vg() function.
Use orphan vgmem for creation of PV lists.
Remove some free_pv_fid() calls (FIXME: check all of them)
FIXME: Check whether we could merge release_vg back again for all VGs.
Count number of error and existing areas and if there is no existing area
for the LV avoid its activation.
Always disable partial activatio for thin volumes.
For mirrors currently put in hack to let it pass with a special name
since current mirror code needs to activate such LV during some operations.
For reading % of mapped size of thin volume use as origin for
old style snapshot '-real' device needs to be queried.
Fix log_error report given for lvs -a in this case.
Failure to do so results in "Performing unsafe table load while X device(s) are
known to be suspended" errors. While fixing the problem in this way works and
is consistent with the way the mirror segment type does it, it would be nice
to find a solution that uses the generic suspend/resume calls.
Also included in this check-in are additions to the test suite that perform
conversions on RAID LVs under a snapshot. These tests are disabled for the
time being due to a kernel bug that is yet to be tracked down.
Similar to the "mirror" segment type's log device, _add_dev_to_dtree should
be called and not _add_lv_to_dtree when adding metadata sub-LVs to the deptree.
Since _add_lv_to_dtree was being called, 'origin_only' could be set if a
snapshot sits on top of the RAID device. This would cause the actual device
that needed to be added to be skipped in favor of the non-existant device,
"<foo>-real".
Reformat name and path how the LV is represented with lvm1 compatible option,
to switch to the old way - which had number of problem - i.e. many links
do not exist - since for private devices we are not creating them.
Add more info about thin pools and volumes.
Since striped name function knows when to report 'linear' instead of
'stripe' type name - drop it from this place.
This fixes problem when reporting segtype e.g. for thin-pool which
is also using area_count=1 to store thin data device reference.
It also returns properly strduped memory instead of badly casted const char*.
This patch to the suspend code - like the similar change for resume -
queries the lock mode of a cluster volume and records whether it is active
exclusively. This is necessary for suspend due to the possibility of
preloading targets. Failure to check to exclusivity causes the cluster target
of an exclusively activated mirror to be used when converting - rather than
the single machine target.
Basic support to keep info when the LV was created.
Host and time is stored into LV mda section.
FIXME: Current version doesn't support configurable string via lvm.conf
and used fixed version strftime "%Y-%m-%d %T %z".
We want to keep this logic -
when LV is extend - extend the LV by at least given amount,
when LV is reduced - reduce the LV by at most given amount.
So for this the rounding needs to be used.
Current logic which seems to satisfy give rule is to round up all
extent values for LV resize upward except for values with '-' sign
that are round downward.
This patch also fixes the problem when lvextend --use-polices tried
to extend LV the by i.e. 20% - but the resulting 20% were smaller
the extent size thus before this patch no extension happened.
For snapshot, prepare whole command in front into private buffer.
Add also some missing '\n' for syslog messages.
For raid and mirror only convert creation of command line string.
This should avoid any unbound growth of mempool for dm_split_names.
Since the !(dev->flags & DEV_REGULAR) code path just called
dev_name_confirmed() which has just called 'stat()' inside,
remove duplicate second stat() call here.
When both path have identical prefix i.e. /dev/disk/by-id
skip 2 x lstat() for /dev /dev/disk /dev/disk/by-id
and directly lstat() only different part of the path.
Reduces amount of lstat calls on system with lots of devices.
The RAID plug-in for dmeventd now calls 'lvconvert --repair' to address failures
of devices in a RAID logical volume. The action taken can be either to "warn"
or "allocate" a new device from any spares that may be available in the
volume group. The action is designated by setting 'raid_fault_policy' in
lvm.conf - the default being "warn".
Also, don't allow a splitmirror operation on a RAID LV that is already tracking
a split, unless the operation is to stop the tracking and complete the split.
Example:
~> lvconvert --splitmirrors 1 --trackchanges vg/lv /dev/sdc1
# Now tracking changes - image can be merged back or split-off for good
~> lvconvert --splitmirrors 1 -n new_name vg/lv /dev/sdc1
# ^ Completes split ^
If a split is performed on a RAID that is tracking an already split image and
PVs are provided, we must ensure that
1) the already split LV is represented in the PVs
2) we are careful to split only the tracked image
RAID is not like traditional LVM mirroring. LVM mirroring required failed
devices to be removed or the logical volume would simply hang. RAID arrays can
keep on running with failed devices. In fact, for RAID types other than RAID1,
removing a device would mean substituting an error target or converting to a
lower level RAID (e.g. RAID6 -> RAID5, or RAID4/5 to RAID0). Therefore, rather
than removing a failed device unconditionally and potentially allocating a
replacement, RAID allows the user to "replace" a device with a new one. This
approach is a 1-step solution vs the current 2-step solution.
example> lvconvert --replace <dev_to_remove> vg/lv [possible_replacement_PVs]
'--replace' can be specified more than once.
example> lvconvert --replace /dev/sdb1 --replace /dev/sdc1 vg/lv
LVM metadata knows only of striped segments - not linear ones.
The activation code detects segments with a single stripe and switches
them to use the linear target.
If the new lvm.conf setting is set to 0 (e.g. in a test script), this
'optimisation' is turned off.
Simplify /api makefile and use SUBDIRS target for test dir.
Properly cleanup Makefiles with distclean in /test.
Use symbolic links for shell scripts for non-srcdir compilation.
Remove FIXMES - there should not be any pool free call since
the memory pool is from device manager, and pool is detroyed
after the operation, so doing extra free here would not help here.
However lv_has_target_type() is using cmd mempool so here the extra
call for dm_pool_free makes sence.
Use static buffer instead of stack allocated buffer.
This reduces stack size usage of lvm tool and the
change is very simple.
Since the whole library is not thread safe - it should not
add any new problems - and if there will be some conversion
it's easy to convert this to use some preallocated buffer.
For write we do not need to hold memory locked.
This relaxes many conditions and avoid problems when allocating
a lot of memory for writting metadata buffers.
(In case of huge MDA size this would lead to mismatch between
locked and unlocked memory region size).
Add also internal check we are not writing in critical section.
Removal of an inactive origin removes also all related snapshots.
When we now support 'old' external snapshots with thin volumes,
removal of pool will not only drop all thin volumes, but as
a consequence also all snapshots - which might be seen a bit
unexpected for the user - so add a query to confirm such action.
lvremove -f will skip the prompt.
Update region_size only for mirror and raid targets.
This fixes warning messages when vg is using small
extent size like 1KiB and no mirror/raid is created,
but the user still got the message:
$> vgcreate -s 1K vg <pvs>
$> lvcreate -L10K vg
Using reduced mirror region size of 4 sectors
When a PV label write is deferred to a vg_write call (as introduced by a patch
in 2.02.86), the PV is flagged with the internal UNLABELLED_PV flag. However,
when calling vg_archive before vg_write, we still have the PV labelled with the
UNLABELLED_PV flag which was not recognised as a proper flag while exporting
VG metadata:
# vgcreate vg /dev/sda
No physical volume label read from /dev/sda
Metadata inconsistency: Not all flags successfully exported.
Metadata inconsistency: Not all flags successfully exported.
Writing physical volume data to disk "/dev/sda"
Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
Volume group "vg" successfully created
udev may also need to be disabled if you didn't build it statically too.
dmeventd.static could be fixed with some more work but I don't really see the
point: without dlopen() it's useless, and if you have dlopen(), why not support
normal shared libraries too?
Add filter which tries to check if scanned device is part
of active multipath.
Firstly, only SCSI major number devices are handled in filter.
Then it checks if device has exactly one holder (in sysfs) and
if it is device-mapper device and DM-UUID is prefixed by "MPATH-".
If so, this device is filtered out.
The whole filter can be switched off by setting
mpath_component_detection in lvm.conf.

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.

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.
This was the intended behaviour, as described in the lvchange man page, so you
have complete control through volume_list in lvm.conf, but the code seems to
have been treating -ae as local-only for a very long time.
Split syntax for thin-pool since it cannot be fully matched with snapshot.
So to avoid more confusion - take thin support into separate line.
Though still significant updates are needed for thin provisioning.
Version 2 of the userspace log protocol accepts return information during the
DM_ULOG_CTR exchange. The return information contains the name of the log
device that is being used (if there is one). The kernel can then register the
device via 'dm_get_device'. Amoung other things, this allows for userspace to
assemble a correct dependency tree of devices - critical for LVM handling of
suspend/resume calls.
Also, update dm-log-userspace.h to match the kernel header associated with
this protocol change. (Includes a version inc.)
When verify_udev_operations was disable, code for stacking fs operation for
lvm links was completely disable - but this code was also used for collecting
information, that a new node is being created.
Add a new flag which is set when a creation of lv symlinks is requested which
should restore old behaviour of lv_info function, that has called fs_sync()
before quere for open count on device.
Barrier is supposed to be used in situation like this
and replace tricky mutex usage, where mutex has been unlocked
by a different thread than the locking thread.
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.
Replace usleep with pthread condition to increase speed testing
(for simplicity just 1 condition for all locks).
Use thread mutex also for unlock resource (so it wakes up awaiting
threads)
Better check some error states and return error in fail case with
unlocked mutex.
Using log_warn to report missing symlinks as warning, since the command
itself returns as successful, we should not produce log_error().
log_warn is better fit here.
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.
The current code does not always assign proper udev flags to sub-LVs (e.g.
mirror images and log LVs). This shows up especially during a splitmirror
operation in which an image is split off from a mirror to form a new LV.
A mirror with a disk log is actually composed of 4 different LVs: the 2
mirror images, the log, and the top-level LV that "glues" them all together.
When a 2-way mirror is split into two linear LVs, two of those LVs must be
removed. The segments of the image which is not split off to form the new
LV are transferred to the top-level LV. This is done so that the original
LV can maintain its major/minor, UUID, and name. The sub-lv from which the
segments were transferred gets an error segment as a transitory process
before it is eventually removed. (Note that if the error target was not put
in place, a resume_lv would result in two LVs pointing to the same segment!
If the machine crashes before the eventual removal of the sub-LV, the result
would be a residual LV with the same mapping as the original (now linear) LV.)
So, the two LVs that need to be removed are now the log device and the sub-LV
with the error segment. If udev_flags are not properly set, a resume will
cause the error LV to come up and be scanned by udev. This causes I/O errors.
Additionally, when udev scans sub-LVs (or former sub-LVs), it can cause races
when we are trying to remove those LVs. This is especially bad during failure
conditions.
When the mirror is suspended, the top-level along with its sub-LVs are
suspended. The changes (now 2 linear devices and the yet-to-be-removed log
and error LV) are committed. When the resume takes place on the original
LV, there are no longer links to the other sub-lvs through the LVM metadata.
The links are implicitly handled by querying the kernel for a list of
dependencies. This is done in the '_add_dev' function (which is recursively
called for each dependency found) - called through the following chain:
_add_dev
dm_tree_add_dev_with_udev_flags
<*** DM / LVM divide ***>
_add_dev_to_dtree
_add_lv_to_dtree
_create_partial_dtree
_tree_action
dev_manager_activate
_lv_activate_lv
_lv_resume
lv_resume_if_active
When udev flags are calculated by '_get_udev_flags', it is done by referencing
the 'logical_volume' structure. Those flags are then passed down into
'dm_tree_add_dev_with_udev_flags', which in turn passes them to '_add_dev'.
Unfortunately, when '_add_dev' is finding the dependencies, it has no way to
calculate their proper udev_flags. This is because it is below the DM/LVM
divide - it doesn't have access to the logical_volume structure. In fact,
'_add_dev' simply reuses the udev_flags given for the initial device! This
virtually guarentees the udev_flags are wrong for all the dependencies unless
they are reset by some other mechanism. The current code provides no such
mechanism. Even if '_add_new_lv_to_dtree' were called on the sub-devices -
which it isn't - entries already in the tree are simply passed over, failing
to reset any udev_flags. The solution must retain its implicit nature of
discovering dependencies and be able to go back over the dependencies found
to properly set the udev_flags.
My solution simply calls a new function before leaving '_add_new_lv_to_dtree'
that iterates over the dtree nodes to properly reset the udev_flags of any
children. It is important that this function occur after the '_add_dev' has
done its job of querying the kernel for a list of dependencies. It is this
list of children that we use to look up their respective LVs and properly
calculate the udev_flags.
This solution has worked for single machine, cluster, and cluster w/ exclusive
activation.

Since execve passed only NULL as environ, we had lost all environment vars on
restart - thus actually running 'different' clvmd then the one at start.
Preserving environ allows to restart clvmd with the same settings
(i.e. LD_LIBRARY_PATH)
Add test for second restart.
Add named cluster_ops to easily learn the name of the active cluster manager,
so we are able to restart singlenode manager in testing.
Add simple test for clvmd -S (restart) and -R (refresh)
(though it needs some extensions).
Read 2 environmental vars to learn about overide position for
CLVMD and LVM binaries.
We support LVM_BINARY in other script - and this way we could easily
test restart in our test-suite.
Bugfix:
Add (most probably unfinished) support for -E arg with list of exclusive
locks. (During clvmd restart all exclusive locks would have been lost and
in fact, if there would have been an exclusive lock, usage text would be
printed and clvmd exits.)
Instead of parsing list options multiple times every time some lock UUID is
checked - put them straight into the hash table - make the code easier to
understand as well.
Remove was_ex_lock() function (replaced with dm_hash_lookup()).
Swap return value for get_initial_state() (1 means success).
Update man pages and usage info for -E option.
Before, we used to display "Can't remove open logical volume" which was
generic. There 3 possibilities of how a device could be opened:
- used by another device
- having a filesystem on that device which is mounted
- opened directly by an application
With the help of sysfs info, we can distinguish the first two situations.
The third one will be subject to "remove retry" logic - if it's opened
quickly (e.g. a parallel scan from within a udev rule run), this will
finish quickly and we can remove it once it has finished. If it's a
legitimate application that keeps the device opened, we'll do our best
to remove the device, but we will fail finally after a few retries.
If you specify the segment type (e.g. --type mirror) and the mirrors argument
as zero, it would result in a mirrored LV with only one image. While the device
may be valid in theory, it should not be allowed in practice. It also makes it
difficult on the conversion tools, since they react badly to single-image
mirrors.
Patch fixes Clang warnings about possible access via lv_name NULL pointer.
Replaces allocation of memory (strdup) with just pointer assignment
(since execve is being called anyway).
Checks for !*lv_name only when lv_name is defined.
(and as I'm not quite sure what state this really is - putting a FIXME
around - as this rather looks suspicios ??).
Add debug print of passed clvmd args.
(since data in statbuf are invalid).

When fsadm is test - it needs to execute lvm and fsadm from non-standard path
setting. So adding a support in fsadm script when user set LVM_BINARY, then
the lvm command invoced from fsadm will have the same PATH setting as before
entering fsadm command.
Needed for testing.
In case someone would use filename paths with spaces when changing
this script surround commands with '"'.
With default settings there is no change in behavior.
LVM has huge set of options now - it's approaching 60 short-arg less options
and we get interesting case of misdetection for 'merge' option which has been
put into the middle of options with 'short_arg' - thus certainly past 65. (ASCII 'A').
To avoid confusion of short_arg with long_opt number - add '128' to all such
non-short-arg options.
Revert John patch, which fixed only 1 place where ~LVM_WRITE was in use and
convert ommited LVM_READ/WRITE flags to 64bit constants as well.
(Since both 'status' flags for LV and VG are 64bit.)
lv_mirror_count was not able to handle mirrors of stripes properly. When a
failed device is removed, the MIRRORED status flag is removed from the LV
conditionally based on the results of lv_mirror_count. However, lv_mirror_count
trusted the MIRRORED flag - thinking any such LV must be mirrored. It would
happily assign first_seg(lv)->area_count as the number of mirrors, but when
a mirrored striped LV was reduced to a simple striped LV area_count would be
the number of /stripes/ not the number of /mirrors/. A result higher than 1
would be returned from lv_mirror_count, the MIRRORED flag would not be cleared,
and the LV would fail to be up-converted properly in lvconvert_mirrors_aux
because of it.
The operation of deactivating the residual error target LV after removing a
mirror layer can cause a "device in-use" conflict with udev. Giving udev a
poke before calling deactivate_lv eliminates the conflict. The stick used
to poke udev is 'sync_local_dev_names'.
Kernel requires a mirror to be at least 1 region large. So,
if our mirror log is itself a mirror, it must be at least
1 region large. This restriction may not be necessary for
non-mirrored logs, but we apply the rule anyway.
(The other option is to make the region size of the log
mirror smaller than the mirror it is acting as a log for,
but that really complicates things. It's much easier to
keep the region_size the same for both.)
LVM_WRITE is a 32-bit flag. Now that RAID[_IMAGE|_META] are 64-bit,
and'ing a RAID LV's status against LVM_WRITE can reset the higher order
flags.
A similar thing will affect thinp flags if not careful.
_alloc_init calculates the number of necessary log extents via
'mirror_log_extents'. 'mirror_log_extents' takes 3 arguments: region_size,
pe_size, and size of the mirror LV. Unfortunately, _alloc_init is guessing at
the mirror size by using 'ah->new_extents / ah->area_multiple' - the number of
extents that the mirror images have. However, this is /always/ wrong when
allocating the log separately. Further, the log is always allocated separately
unless we are up-converting the mirror at the same time. It was by luck alone
that a default value of '1' reflects what we want in most cases.
In order to get a decent value computed, we need to pass in the 'lv' argument
to allocate_extents. This would normally imply a desire for cling/contiguous
allocation to the given LV, but since we are not allocating any parallel
extents and only log extents, it works fine.
When an image is split from a 2-way mirror, the original mirror is converted to
a linear device. To do this, the top "layer" must be removed. The segments
are transferred from the sub-lv to the top-level LV and the link is severed.
The former sub-lv - having its segments transferred - now contains a temporary
error target.
When the original LV is resumed, the old sub-lv that now contains an error
segment is activated and scanned. This is what causes the I/O error messages.
There are three ways to fix this problem:
1) Do not set the sub-lv which contains the error target as "visible" before
suspending the original LV. This way, when the original is resumed, the sub-lv
device node is not created and it is not scanned - avoiding the error messages.
The problem with this approach is that if the machine crashes after the
resume, it leaves the *hidden* LV in place and the user has a more difficult
time noticing that it needs to be cleaned up. Thus, this type of processing is
frowned upon.
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 does not
produce the error message (although, I'm not sure why) and it allows us to
leave the visible flag in place.
3) Flag the sub-lv (error target) with a "do not scan" flag. This seems like
the cleanest approach, but I have been unable to find the method for doing
this. LVs get tagged in such a way by _get_udev_flags, but in this case the
resume of the original LV also resumes the error target LV without running it
through _get_udev_flags (likely because they are no longer linked). Could
there be something wrong in resume_lv?
Option #2 was chosen to fix this bug, but it seems like more of a workaround
for now.
Some major distributions are still using 'mawk' and they are not using
the latest version - we end here with hidden dependency on the latest
version of mawk (1.3.4) while i.e. Debian Lenny seems to stay with 1.3.3.
So we end with completely broken vgimportclone script on such system.
We would need to check for proper support of :space: and abort build if
it doesn't work or simplier replace [:space:] with [ \t] which seems
sufficient to make it work (as can be seen in this patch)
A better fix would be to use command line parameter override - leaving
as FIXME comment.
This patch makes t-vgimportclone.sh test passing on Lenny.
There was a bad sequence:
*) Make changes to LV layout to split images (e.g. 4-way -> 2-way/2-way)
1) vg_write, suspend_lv(original_mirror), vg_commit
2) activate_lv(newly_split_lv)
3) resume_lv(original_mirror)
Step #2 is not allowed. However, without it, the resume of the original
mirror will also resume its former sub-LVs - making it impossible to
activate the newly split LV due to the changes in layering, pointers, and
names that had already been made. Additionally, the resume or the original
brings the sub-lv's online with names that differ from the metadata on disk -
also a no-no. Thus, the split must be done in stages such that the active LVs
always reflect what is in the committed LVM metadata.
First, alter the original mirror by releasing the images. The images are made
visible and independent as an intermediate stage. (This way, we can have
consistency between LVM metadata and active LVs.) The second stage collects
the recently split LVs, deactivates them, forms them into a mirror if necessary,
and then activates them. It is a bit of a circuitous method, but it is the only
way to split a mirror from a mirror and obey these general rules:
1) Never [de]activate sub-lvs when the top-level LV is suspended
2) Avoid having active LVs that differ from the description in the LVM metadata

There's a very high memory usage when calling _pv_analyse_mda_raw (e.g. while
executing pvck) that can end up with "out of memory".
_pv_analyse_mda_raw scans for metadata in the MDA, iteratively increasing the
size to scan with SECTOR_SIZE until we find a probable config section or we're
at the edge of the metadata area. However, when using a memory pool, we're also
iteratively chasing for bigger and bigger mempool chunk which can't be found
and so we're always allocating a new one, consuming more and more memory...
This patch just changes the mempool to direct memory allocation in this
problematic part of the code.
This patch adds the ability to upconvert a raid1 array - say from 2-way to
3-way. It does not yet support upconverting linear to n-way.
The 'raid' device-mapper target allows for individual components (images) of
an array to be specified for rebuild. This mechanism is used when adding
new images to the array so that the new images can be resync'ed while the
rest of the images in the array can remain 'in-sync'. (There is no
mirror-on-mirror layering required.)
~> lvconvert --splitmirrors 1 --trackchanges vg/lv
The '--trackchanges' option allows a user the ability to use an image of
a RAID1 array for the purposes of temporary read-only access. The image
can be merged back into the array at a later time and only the blocks that
have changed in the array since the split will be resync'ed. This
operation can be thought of as a partial split. The image is never completely
extracted from the array, in that the array reserves the position the device
occupied and tracks the differences between the array and the split image via
a bitmap. The image itself is rendered read-only and the name (<LV>_rimage_*)
cannot be changed. The user can complete the split (permanently splitting the
image from the array) by re-issuing the 'lvconvert' command without the
'--trackchanges' argument and specifying the '--name' argument.
~> lvconvert --splitmirrors 1 --name my_split vg/lv
Merging the tracked image back into the array is done with the '--merge'
option (included in a follow-on patch).
~> lvconvert --merge vg/lv_rimage_<n>
The internal mechanics of this are relatively simple. The 'raid' device-
mapper target allows for the specification of an empty slot in an array
via '- -'. This is what will be used if a partial activation of an array
is ever required. (It would also be possible to use 'error' targets in
place of the '- -'.) If a RAID image is found to be both read-only and
visible, then it is considered separate from the array and '- -' is used
to hold it's position in the array. So, all that needs to be done to
temporarily split an image from the array /and/ cause the kernel target's
bitmap to track (aka "mark") changes made is to make the specified image
visible and read-only. To merge the device back into the array, the image
needs to be returned to the read/write state of the top-level LV and made
invisible.
Users already have the ability to split an image from an LV of "mirror"
segtype. This patch extends that ability to LVs of "raid1" segtype.
This patch only allows a single image to be split off, however. (The
"mirror" segtype allows an arbitrary number of images to be split off.
e.g. 4-way => 3-way/linear, 2-way/2-way, linear,3-way)
of top-level LV.
We can't activate sub-lv's that are being removed from a RAID1 LV while it
is suspended. However, this is what was being used to have them show-up
so we could remove them. 'sync_local_dev_names' is a sufficient and
proper replacement and can be done after the top-level LV is resumed.
Skip decoding of DM flags when device is removed.
We currently need DM flags only for add|change events. So forking
dmsetup process for removed devices is a waste of CPU time.
Udev is already quite slow, so make it just a tiny bit faster.
Add config option to enable crc checking of VG structures.
Currently it's disabled by default.
For the internal test-suite this check it is enabled.
Note: In the case the internal error is detected, debug build with
compile option DEBUG_ENFORCE_POOL_LOCKING helps to catch the source
of the problem.
Use debug pool locking functionality. So the command could check,
whether the memory in the pool has not been modified.
For lv_postoder() instead of unlocking and locking for every changed
struct status member do it once when entering and leaving function.
(mprotect would trap each such memory access).
Currently lv_postoder() does not modify other part of vg structure
then status flags of each LV with flags that are reverted back to
its original state after function exit.
Extend vginfo cache with cached VG structure. So if the same metadata
are use, skip mda decoding in the case, the same data are in use.
This helps for operations like activation of all LVs in one VG,
where same data were decoded giving the same output result.
Patch adds 1-to-1 connection between volume_group and lvmcache_vginfo.
Move the free_vg() to vg.c and replace free_vg with release_vg
and make the _free_vg internal.
Patch is needed for sharing VG in vginfo cache so the release_vg function name
is a better fit here.
As this flag could not have been set by the current code - removing it.
Note: because of the wrong code logic this call:
lvmcache_update_vg(correct_vg, correct_vg->status & PRECOMMITTED &
(inconsistent ? INCONSISTENT_VG : 0));
had always passed '0' - now after flag removal it's passing
PRECOMMITTED flag in - this present functinal change in this patch.
To match the original functionality - 0 had to be always passed.
More testing is needed here.
(here clvmd crashed in the middle of operation),
lock is not removed from cache - here is one example:
locking/cluster_locking.c:497 Locking VG V_vg_test UN (VG) (0x6)
locking/cluster_locking.c:113 Error writing data to clvmd: Broken pipe
locking/locking.c:399 <backtrace>
locking/locking.c:461 <backtrace>
Internal error: Volume Group vg_test was not unlocked
Code should always remove lock info from lvmcache and update counters
on unlock, even if unlock fails.
Today, we use "suppress_messages" flag (set internally in init_locking fn based
on 'ignorelockingfailure() && getenv("LVM_SUPPRESS_LOCKING_FAILURE_MESSAGES")'.
This way, we can suppress high level messages like "File-based locking
initialisation failed" or "Internal cluster locking initialisation failed".
However, each locking has its own sequence of initialization steps and these
could log some errors as well. It's quite misleading for the user to see such
errors and warnings if the "--sysinit" is used (and so the ignorelockingfailure
&& LVM_SUPPRESS_LOCKING_FAILURE_MESSAGES environment variable). Errors and
warnings from these intermediary steps should be suppressed as well if requested.
This patch propagates the "suppress_messages" flag deeper into locking init
functions. I've also added these flags for other locking types for consistency,
though it's not actually used for no_locking and readonly_locking.
Last usage was removed in Petr's commit related to VG mda repair fix
where relaxed check starts to ignore inconsistencies coming from
PVs that are marked MISSING - thus removing unused variable.
Defer the test of the function return value after the string memory is released.
Otherwise in this error path the string would present memory leak.
(Thought in this case we are already out of memory...)
Implementation described in doc/lvm2-raid.txt.
Basic support includes:
- ability to create RAID 1/4/5/6 arrays
- ability to delete RAID arrays
- ability to display RAID arrays
Notable missing features (not included in this patch):
- ability to clean-up/repair failures
- ability to convert RAID segment types
- ability to monitor RAID segment types
This should be set by default! Normally we have "activation/udev_sync = 1"
in lvm.conf (example.conf.in). But if we use lvm2 without any config file
(or without a definition within '--config' option) the DEFAULT_UDEV_SYNC
is used instead. Together with verify_udev_operations=0 (when we rely on
udev fully), this can cause races as the node could be missing when needed.
(See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723144)
Clvmd detects modifed config file before it takes lv_lock.
If the config file is changed rapidly - the change was ignored within
a seocnd ranged. This patch adds also compare of file size.
So change like some flag for 0 to 1 would pass unnoticed - but
it's quick fix for failing test suite.
FIXME: Implement inotify solution.
If MD linear device has set rounding (overload chunk size attribute),
the pvcreate command prints this warning:
/dev/md0 sysfs attr level not in expected format: linear
When some target is passing empty parameters to some dm target,
report this as an internal error to better catch some broken
table construction (some mirror conversions seem to be doing
this for now).
When an LVM mirror is up-converted (an additional image added), it creates
a temporary mirror stack. The lower-level mirror in the stack that is
created was not being activated exclusively - violating the exclusive nature
of the original mirror. We now check for exclusive activation of a mirror
before converting it, and if found, we ensure that the temporary mirror
is also exclusively activated.
Mirrors used to be created by first creating a linear device and then adding
the other images plus the log. Now mirrors are created by creating all the
images in one go and then adding the log separately. The new way ran into
the condition that cluster mirrors cannot change the log type (in the case
of creation, from core -> disk) while the mirror is not active. (It isn't
active because it is in the process of being created.) The reason this
condition is in place is because a remote node may have the mirror active, and
we don't want to alter the log underneath it.
What we really needed was a way of checking if the mirror was active remotely
but not locally, and in that case do not allow a change of the log. I've added
this check, and cluster mirrors can now be created again.
We've used udev fallback code till now to check whether udev
created/removed the entries in /dev correctly and if not,
a repair was done (giving a warning messagea about that).
This patch adds a possibility to enable this additional check
and subsequent fallback only when required (debugging purposes
mostly) and trust udev completely.
So let's disable the fallback code by default and add a new
configuration option "activation/udev_fallback".
(The original code for creating the nodes will still be used
in case the device directory that is set in lvm.conf differs
from the one that udev uses and also when activation/udev_rules
is set to 0 - otherwise we would end up with no nodes/symlinks
at all)
It's useful to keep the partial flag cached - so just move the call
for vg_mark_partil_lvs() into import_vg_from_config_tree() so it gets
evaluated before it goes through the lvmcache.
This patch should not present any functional change.
Note: It is rather temporal solution - proper place is probably inside the
'read' call back - but needs some more discussion.
For now using this minor hack.
As the ACTIVATE_EXCL could be set only in clvmd code - there is no
use for this test in lv_add_mirrors() function only called from
tools context.
FIXME: Add cluster test case for this.
To avoid modification of 'read-only' volume group structure
add a new structure to pass local data around the code for LV
activation.
As origin_only is one such flag - replace this parameter with new
struct lv_activate_opts.
More parameters might eventually become part of lv_activate_opts.
This was missing in liblvm and it caused all udev-related operations to
not take effect when using liblvm, e.g. obtaining the list of devices from udev
db instead of scanning the whole /dev which also recreated the .cache as a side
effect. This was also the case with udisks-lvm-pv-export prober which is run
from within udev rules whenever the CHANGE event is fired.
and use this for the LVM critical section logic. Also report an error if
code tries to load a table while any device is known to be in the
suspended state.
(If the variety of problems these changes are showing up can't be fixed
before the next release, the error messages can be reduced to debug
level.)
are affected by the move. (Currently it's possible for I/O to become
trapped between suspended devices amongst other problems.
The current fix was selected so as to minimise the testing surface. I
hope eventually to replace it with a cleaner one that extends the
deptree code.
Some lvconvert scenarios still suffer from related problems.
Patch adds check for stripe not only in direct
LV segment but also in mirror image segment.
This prevents bugs like:
# lvcreate -i2 -l10 -n lv vg_test
# lvconvert -m1 -i1 vg_test/lv
# lvreduce -f -l1 vg_test/lv

There's a possibility someone will use the '/' in the hostname. Since we
generate a temporary file name (path) including the hostname, any '/' would
be ambiguous.
We can always set such hostname using 'sethostname' from unistd.h. But the
'hostname' command already includes the check and removes the '/' char.
However, some old versions still allow that.
See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=711445.
Since this is only a temporary name and the possibility of this error is
quite negligible, we don't need any complex escape sequence here, just a
simple char replace.
Also, add a new 'obtain_device_list_from_udev' setting to lvm.conf with which
we can turn this feature on or off if needed.
If set, the cache of block device nodes with all associated symlinks
will be constructed out of the existing udev database content.
This avoids using and opening any inapplicable non-block devices or
subdirectories found in the device directory. This setting is applied
to udev-managed device directory only, other directories will be scanned
fully. LVM2 needs to be compiled with udev support for this setting to
take effect. N.B. Any device node or symlink not managed by udev in
udev directory will be ignored with this setting on.

Instead of regenerating config tree and parsing same data again,
check whether export_vg_to_buffer does not produce same string as
the one already cached - in this case keep it, otherwise throw cached
content away.
For the code simplicity calling _free_cached_vgmetadata() with
vgmetadata == NULL as the function handles this itself.
Note: sometimes export_vg_to_buffer() generates almost the same data
with just different time stamp, but for the patch simplicity,
data are reparsed in this case.
This patch currently helps for vgrefresh.

Idea of the fix is rather defensive - to allocate one extra element

loop checks, whether next map entry is continuous.
By placing there always one extra zero entry -
we fix the read of unallocated memory, and we make sure the data would
not make a continous block.
FIXME: there could be a problem if some special broken lvm1 data would be imported.
As the format1 is currently not really used - leave it for future fix
and use this small hotfix for now.
Invalid primary_vginfo was supposed to move all its lvmcache_infos to
orphan_vginfo - however it has called _drop_vginfo() inside the loop
that released primary_vginfo itself - thus made the loop using released
memory.
Use _vginfo_detach_info() instead and call _drop_vginfo after
th loop is finished.
Valgrind trace it should fix:

problematic line:
dm_list_iterate_items_safe(info2, info3, &primary_vginfo->infos)
Fix 2 more functions sending cluster messages to avoid passing uninitilised bytes
and compensate 1 extra byte attached to the message from the clvm_header.args[1]
member variable.
LVM doesn't behave correctly if running as non-root user,
there is warning when it detects it.
Despite this, it produces many error messages, saying nothing.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=620571
This patch fixes two things:
1) Removes eror message from device_is_usable() which has no
information value anyway (real warning is printed inside it).
2) it fixes device-mapper initialization, if we support
core dm module autoload and device node is present, it should
fail early and not try recreate existing and correct node.
(non-root == permission denied here)
N.B. In future code should support user roles, some more
drastic checks in code are probably contraproductive now.
Attach \0 for proper char* display - otherwise somewhat random message could
be displayed in debug more and read of unpredictable read of uninitilized
memory values could happen.
As code uses strncpy(system_id, NAME_LEN) and doesn't set '\0'
Fix it by always allocating NAME_LEN + 1 buffer size and with zalloc
we always get '\0' as the last byte.
This bug may trigger some unexpected behavior of the string operation
code - depends on the pool allocator.
FIXME: refactor this code to alloc_vg.
We have 3 components and traling '\0' so allocate proper room for all of them.
Problem was nicely hidden by allocation from pool and allocation aligment
offset - so to trigger real problem with this one is actually hard.
Return value of readlink limits valid string size.
Characters after returned size present some garbage to printf.
Fix it by placing '\0' on the return size value.
This is necessary for proper format instance ref_count support. We iterate
over vg->pvs and vg->removed_pvs list and the ref_count is decremented and
then it is destroyed if not referenced anymore.
Since format instances will use own memory pool, it's necessary to properly
deallocate it. For now, only fid is deallocated. The PV structure itself
still uses cmd mempool mostly, but anytime we'd like to add a mempool
in the struct physical_volume, we can just rename this fn to free_pv and
add the code (like we have free_vg fn for VGs).
This is essential for proper format instance ref_count support. We must
use these functions to set the fid everywhere from now on, even the NULL
value!
We'd like to use the fid mempool for text_context that is stored
in the instance (we used cmd mempool before, so the order of
initialisation was not a matter, but now it is since we need to
create the fid mempool first which happens in create_instance fn).
The text_context initialisation is not needed anywhere outside the
create_instance fn so move it there.
Format instances can be created anytime on demand and it contains
metadata area information mostly (at least for now, but in the future,
we may store more things here to update/edit in a PV/VG). In case we
have lots of metadata areas, memory consumption will rise. Using cmd
context mempool is not quite optimal here because it is destroyed too
late. So let's use a separate mempool for format instances.
Reference counting is used because fids could be shared, e.g. each PV
has either a PV-based fid or VG-based fid. If it's VG-based, each PV has
a shared fid with the VG - a reference to VG's fid.
Makes the code more readable and has a smaller number of memory
accesses thus it's small optimisation as well.
For _get_token() optimize number parsing. Check for '.' char only
if it's not a digit. Move pointer incrementation into one place.
For _eat_space() check only p->te for '\0' in skipping of comment line.
Avoid check for '\0' when we know it is space. Also master while loop
doesn't need checking p->tb for '\0'. We just need to check p->tb
isn't already at the end of buffer. This could give 'extra' loop cycle
if we are already there - but safes memory access in every other case.
Add _lv_postorder_vg() - for calling _lv_postorder() for every LV from VG.
We use this in 2 places - vg_mark_partial_lvs() and vg_validate()
so make it as a one function.
Benefit here is - to use only one cleanup code and avoid
potentially duplicate scans of same LVs.
Accelerate validation loop by using lvname, lvid, pvid hash tables.
Also merge pvl loop into one cycle now - no need to scan the list twice.
List scan is stopped when dm_hash_insert fails.
The error message with loop_counter1 is no longer provided - however
the message has been misleading anyway.
Create new function alloc_vg() to allocate VG structure.
It takes pool_name (for easier debugging).
and also take vg_name to futher simplify code.
Move remainder of _build_vg_from_pds to _pool_vg_read
and use vg memory pool for import functions.
(it's been using smem -> fid mempool -> cmd mempool)
(FIXME: remove mempool parameter for import functions and use vg).
Move remainder of the _build_vg to _format1_vg_read
Fixing few issues:
struct clvm_header contains 'char args[1]' - so adding '+ 1' here
for message length calculation is 1 byte off.
Message with last byte uninitialized is then passed to write function.
Update also related arglen.
Initialise xid and clintid to 0.
Memory allocation is checked for NULL
lvseg_segtype_dup used memory pool vg memory pool for strind duplication.
However this one gets released before reporting happens so the command like:
pvs -o segtype
prints data from already released memory pool. Thanks to the fact there
is not much allocation happing after the VG is released, the memory
stays unmodified and correct result is printed.
Fix adds support for mempool passed parameter (like other similar
query commands) and uses dm_report memory pool for string duplication.
While STRIPE_SIZE_LIMIT * 2 is basically UINT_MAX, 32bit integer
value can already overflow durin arg size parsing.
(This really happens in test where --stripesize 4294967291 is used,
in s390x uint overflow and this test is ineffective.)
We allow writing non-orphan PVs only for resize now. The "orphan PV" assert
in pv_write fn uses the "allow_non_orphan" parameter to control this assert.
However, we should find a more elaborate solution so we can remove this
restriction altogether (pv_write together with vg_write is not atomic, we
need to find a safe mechanism so there's an easy revert possible in case of
an error).
There is a lot to test.
Two new config settings added that are intended to make the code behave
closely to the way it did before - worth a try if you find problems.
Fixing some const warnings - with API change in:
int vg_extend(struct volume_group *vg, int pv_count, const char *const *pv_names,
Change is needed - as lvm2api expects const behaviour here.
So vg_extend() is doing local strdup for unescaping.
skip_dev_dir return const char* from const char* vg_name.
Rest of the patch is cleanup of related warnings.
Also using dm_report_filed_string() API change to simplify
casting in _string_disp and _lvname_disp.
New strategy for memory locking to decrease the number of call to
to un/lock memory when processing critical lvm functions.
Introducing functions for critical section.
Inside the critical section - memory is always locked.
When leaving the critical section, the memory stays locked
until memlock_unlock() is called - this happens with
sync_local_dev_names() and sync_dev_names() function call.
memlock_reset() is needed to reset locking numbers after fork
(polldaemon).
The patch itself is mostly rename:
memlock_inc -> critical_section_inc
memlock_dec -> critical_section_dec
memlock -> critical_section
Daemons (clmvd, dmevent) are using memlock_daemon_inc&dec
(mlockall()) thus they will never release or relock memory they've
already locked memory.
Macros sync_local_dev_names() and sync_dev_names() are functions.
It's better for debugging - and also we do not need to add memlock.h
to locking.h header (for memlock_unlock() prototyp).
Add configurable option to define minimal size of
of block device usable as a PV.
pv_min_size() is added to lvm-globals and it's being
initialized through _process_config.
Macro PV_MIN_SIZE is unused and removed.
New define DEFAULT_PV_MIN_SIZE_KB is added to lvm-global
and unlike PV_MIN_SIZE it uses KB units.
Should help users with various slow devices attached to the system,
which cannot be easily filtered out (like FDD on /dev/sdX):

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.
Fix regresion from 2.02.75 speedup - so currently crc32 is a little bit
more complicated on big-endian CPU as the uint32_t needs to be shifted
on here.
activated.
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
of node creation in device directory.
DM_ADD_NODE_ON_RESUME is now default and ensures node is created on
resume. Old original behavior is accessible with DM_ADD_NODE_ON_CREATE.
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
after whole udev transation.
Thanks to CLVMD_CMD_SYNC_NAMES propagation fix the message passing started
to work. So starts to send a message before the VG is unlocked.
Removing also implicit sync in VG unlock from clmvd as now the message
is delievered and processed in do_command().
Also add support for this new message into external locking
and mask this event from further processing.
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.
Enable skipping of fs_unlock() (udev sync) if only DEL operations are staked.
as we do not use lv_info for already deleted nodes.
Instead of implicitly syncing udev operation in clustered and
file locking code - call synchronization directly in lock_vol() when
the operation unlocks VG
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
synchronised and may cause problems with accessing such node right after
vgchange --sysinint command is finished.
Add test case for vgchange --sysinit.
