If we know that the PV is orphan, meaning there's at least one MDA on
that PV which does not reference any VG and at the same time there's
PV_EXT_USED flag set, we're certainly in an inconsistent state and we
need to fix this.
For example, such situation can happen during vgremove/vgreduce if we
removed/reduced the VG, but we haven't written PV headers yet because
vgremove stopped abruptly for whatever reason just before writing new
PV headers with updated state, including PV extension flags (and so the
PV_EXT_USED flag).
However, in case the PV has no MDAs at all, we can't double-check
whether the PV_EXT_USED is correct or not - if that PV is marked
as used, it's either:
- really used (but other disks with MDAs are missing)
- or the error state as described above is hit
User needs to overwrite the PV header directly if it's really clear
the PV having no MDAs does not belong to any VG and at the same time
it's still marked as being in use (pvcreate -ff <dev_name> will fix this).
For example - /dev/sda here has 1 MDA, orphan and is incorrectly marked
with PV_EXT_USED flag:
$ pvs --binary -o+pv_in_use
WARNING: Found inconsistent standalone Physical Volumes.
WARNING: Repairing flag incorrectly marking Physical Volume /dev/sda as used.
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree InUse
/dev/sda lvm2 --- 128.00m 128.00m 0
Scenario:
$ pvcreate /dev/sda
Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
We're adding the PV to a VG.
Before this patch:
$ vgcreate vg /dev/sda
Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
Volume group "vg" successfully created
With this path applied:
$ vgcreate vg /dev/sda
Volume group "vg" successfully created
...and verbose log containing: "Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully written"
Make sure we won't use a PV that is already marked as used. Normally,
VG metadata would stop us from doing that, but we can run into a
situation where such metadata is missing because PVs with MDAs
are missing and the PVs left are the ones with 0 MDAs.
(/dev/sda in this example has 0 MDAs and it belongs to a VG,
but other PVs with MDA are missing)
$ pvs -o pv_name,pv_mda_count /dev/sda
PV #PMda
/dev/sda 0
$ pvcreate /dev/sda
PV '/dev/sda' is marked as belonging to a VG but its metadata is missing.
Can't initialize PV '/dev/sda' without -ff.
$ pvchange -u /dev/sda
PV '/dev/sda' is marked as belonging to a VG but its metadata is missing.
Can't change PV '/dev/sda' without -ff.
Physical volume /dev/sda not changed
0 physical volumes changed / 1 physical volume not changed
$ pvremove /dev/sda
PV '/dev/sda' is marked as belonging to a VG but its metadata is missing.
(If you are certain you need pvremove, then confirm by using --force twice.)
$ vgcreate vg /dev/sda
Physical volume '/dev/sda' is marked as belonging to a VG but its metadata is missing.
Unable to add physical volume '/dev/sda' to volume group 'vg'.
We'll use this struct in subsequent patches for PVs which should
be rewritten, not just created. So rename struct pv_to_create to
struct pv_to_write for clarity.

Simplify calculation of extents rounding needed for
segment size.
Segment size has to divisible by 'extent count' needed to contain
whole stripe. LVM currently does not support stripes across segment.
In case the stripe size is bigger then extent size,
require bigger rounding.
The extent size must fits all blocks in 4294967295 sectors
(in 512b units) this is 1/2 KiB less then 2TiB.
So while previous statement 'suggested' 2TiB is still acceptable value,
make it clear it's not.
As now we support any multiples of 128KB as extent size -
values like 2047G will still 'flow-in' otherwise the largest power-of-2
supported value is 1TiB.
With 1TiB user needs 8388608 extents for 8EiB device.
(FYI such device is already unusable with todays glibc-2.22.90-27)
4GiB extent size is currently the smallest extent size which allows
a user to create 8EiB devices (with 2GiB it's less then 8EiB).
TODO: lvm2 may possibly print amount of 'lost/unused space' on a PV,
since using such ridiculously sized extent size may result in huge
space being left unaccessible.
There are two basic groups of fields for LV segment device reporting:
- related to LV segment's devices: devices and seg_pe_ranges
- related to LV segment's metadata devices: metadata_devices and seg_metadata_le_ranges
The devices and metadata_devices report devices in this format:
"device_name(extent_start)"
The seg_pe_ranges and seg_metadata_le_ranges report devices in
this format:
"device_name:extent_start-extent_end"
This patch reverts partly what commit 7f74a99502
(v 2.02.140) introduced in this area - it added [] for
hidden devices to mark them for all four fields mentioned above.
We won't be marking hidden devices in devices and metadata_devices
fields.
The seg_metadata_le_ranges field will have hidden devices marked -
it's new enough that we don't need to care about compatibility much
yet.
The seg_pe_ranges is old enough that we shouldn't be changing this
one - so we're reverting to not marking hidden devices here.
Instead, there's going to be a new field "seg_le_ranges" which
is going to replace the seg_pe_ranges and it will mark hidden devices -
this is going to be introduced in a patch later.
So in the end we'll end up with:
(LV segment's devices)
devices field with "device_name(extent_start)" format, not marking hidden devices
seg_pe_ranges field with "device_name:extent_start-extent_end" format, not marking hidden devices (deprecated, new seg_le_ranges should be used instead for standardized format)
seg_le_ranges field with "device_name:extent_start-extent_end" format, marking hidden devices
(LV segment's metadata devices)
metadata_devices field with "device_name:extent_start-extent_end" format, not marking hidden devices
seg_metadata_le_ranges field with "device_name:extent_start-extent_end" format, marking hidden devices
Also, both seg_le_ranges and seg_metadata_le_ranges will honour the
report/list_item_separator setting which can be used to configure
the delimiter used for list items.
So, to sum it up, we will recommend using the new seg_le_ranges and
seg_metadata_le_ranges fields because they display devices with
standard extent range format, they can mark hidden devices and they
honour the report/list_item_separator setting.
We'll be keeping devices,seg_pe_ranges and metadata_devices fields
for compatibility.
The associated devices,metadata_devices,seg_pe_ranges and
seg_metadata_le_ranges are reported as genuine string lists now.
This allows for using the items separately in -S|--select
(so searching for subsets etc.) and also it allows for
configuring the separator using report/list_item_separator
which may be useful in scripts (however, we'll enable this
only for seg_le_metadata_ranges and not for devices,seg_pe_ranges
and seg_metadata_devices for compatibility reasons - see following
patch).
When reporting on LVs, take the end of the range from the size of the
underlying (hidden) LV rather than the logical size of the current
segment (that PVs use).
Fix lvm2app to return either 0 or 1 for lvm_vg_is_{clustered,exported},
including internal functions pvseg_is_allocated and vg_is_resizeable
which are not yet exposed in lvm2app but make them consistent with the
rest.
Thin pool discard mode set in metadata can be different from the one
actually used if any device underneath does not support that mode. Add
kernel_discard report field to make it possible to see this difference.
Internal _alloc_init() is only called from allocate_extents(),
which already does prevent usage of virtual segments.
So mark as internal error early and do not process it any further.
Add new test for lv_is_snapshot().
Also move few other bitchecks into same place as remaining bit tests.
TODO: drop lv_is_merging_origin() and keep using lv_is_merging().
Include brackets for the name if the dev is invisible.
This change applies to all callers of _format_pvsegs fn:
- lvseg_devices (the "lvs -o devices")
- lvseg_metadata_devices (the "lvs -o metadata_devices)
- lvseg_seg_pe_ranges (the "lvs -o seg_pe_ranges")
- lvseg_seg_metadata_le_ranges (the "lvs -o seg_metadata_le_ranges")
The common lv_pool_lv fn avoids code duplication and also
the reporting part now uses _lvname_disp and _uuid_disp to display
name and uuid respectively, including brackets for the name if the
dev is invisible.
The common lv_metadata_lv fn avoids code duplication and also
the reporting part now uses _lvname_disp and _uuid_disp to display
name and uuid respectively, including brackets for the name if the
dev is invisible.
The common lv_data_lv fn avoids code duplication and also
the reporting part now uses _lvname_disp and _uuid_disp to display
name and uuid respectively, including brackets for the name if the
dev is invisible.
The common lv_mirror_log_lv fn avoids code duplication and also
the reporting part now uses _lvname_disp and _uuid_disp to display
name and uuid respectively, including brackets for the name if the
dev is invisible.
The common lv_origin_lv fn avoids code duplication and also
the reporting part now uses _lvname_disp and _uuid_disp to display
name and uuid respectively, including brackets for the name if the
dev is invisible.
The common lv_convert_lv fn avoids code duplication and also
the reporting part now uses _lvname_disp and _uuid_disp to display
name and uuid respectively, including brackets for the name if the
dev is invisible.
Have commands send lvmlockd the update message
in vg_write instead of vg_commit, so that it's
not done while LVs are suspended. If the vg_write
is not committed, and the seqno sent to lvmlockd
is not used, then lvmlockd can detect this when
the next update uses the same seqno.
Use process_each_vg() to lock and read the old VG,
and then call the main vgrename code.
When real VG names are used (not a UUID in place of the
old name), the command still pre-locks the new name
(when strcmp wants it locked first), before calling
process_each_vg on the old name.
In the case where the old name is replaced with a UUID,
process_each_vg now translates that UUID into the real
VG name, which it locks and reads. In this case, we
cannot do pre-locking to maintain lock ordering because
the old name is unknown. So, in this case the strcmp
based lock ordering is suppressed and the old name is
always locked first. This opens a remote chance for
lock ordering conflict between racing vgrenames between
two names where one or both commands use the UUID.
Since we mark cache-pool as 'hidden/private' while it is in-use,
we may still allow user to change it's name.
It should not cause any harm and user may prefer better naming
for a cache-pool in use.
After recent changes to process_each, vg_read() is usually
given both the vgname and vgid for the intended VG.
However, in some cases vg_read() is given a vgid with
no vgname, or is given a vgname with no vgid.
When given a vgid with no vgname, vg_read() uses lvmcache
to look up the vgname using the vgid. If the vgname is
not found, vg_read() fails.
When given a vgname with no vgid, vg_read() should also
use lvmcache to look up the vgid using the vgname.
If the vgid is not found, vg_read() fails.
If the lvmcache lookup finds multiple vgids for the
vgname, then the lookup fails, causing vg_read() to fail
because the intended VG is uncertain.
Usually, both vgname and vgid for the intended VG are passed
to vg_read(), which means the lvmcache translations
between vgname and vgid are not done.
Unifying terminology.
Since all the metadata in-use are ALWAYS on disk - switch
to terminology committed and precommitted.
Patch has no functional change inside.
We do not won't to 'expose' internals of VG struct.
ATM we use lists to keep all LVs - we may want to switch
to better struct for quicker 'search'.
Since we do not need 'lists' but always actual LV,
switch find_lv_in_vg_by_lvid() to return LV,
and replaces some use case of find_lv_in_vg()
with 'better' working find_lv() which already
returns LV.
Coverity here is a bit 'blind' here and cannot resolve which
code paths are actually able to hit this code path.
(It's using 'statistic' to resolve all possible paths,
and it's not scanning 'individual' code paths.)
This just cleans warns and add 'cheap' tests.
Skip testing target_pvs for NULL, we already
dereference it in many other places.
If check would ever be needed - it needs to be
in front of _raid_extract_images().
Currently the code creates the log separately after allocating space for
the data and as no data allocation is needed this second time,
total_extents ends up holding zero so use new_extents directly instead.
When reading a foreign VG we cannot write it, since
it belongs to another host. When reading a shared VG
we cannot write it because we may not have an ex lock.
(Or we may be reading the shared VG while not using
lvmlockd in which case it's like reading a foreign VG.)
Add the same checks for wiping outdated PVs. We may
read a foreign or shared VG, or see the PVs, while
another host is part way through writing a new version
of the VG to the PVs. This might cause us to think
some of the PVs are outdated. We do not want to
write another host's PVs, especially when we may
wrongly conclude they are outdated.
This option could never have been printed in lvm2 metadata, so it could
be safely removed as it could have been set only as 0.
These configurable setting is supported via metadata profile.
Use single code to evaluate if the percentage value has
crossed threshold.
Recalculate amount value to always fit bellow
threshold so there are not need any extra reiterations
to reach this state in case policy amount is too small.
Since plugin's percentage compare has been fixed,
it's now revealed wrong compare here.
The logic for threshold is - to allow to go as high
as given value e.g. 80% - so if pool is exactlu 80%
full it's still allowed to use it (dmeventd will not
resize it).
Running "vgremove -f VG & pvs" results in the pvs
command reporting that the VG is not found or is
inconsistent. If the VG is gone or being removed,
the pvs command should just skip it and not print
errors about it.
"Not found" is because the pvs command created the
list of VGs to process, including VG, then vgremove
removed the VG, then the pvs command came to to read
the VG to process it and did not find it.
An "inconsistent" error could be reported if vgremove
had only partially completed removing VG when pvs did
vg_read on the VG to process it, causing pvs to find
the VG in a partially-removed state.
This fix adds a flag that pvs uses to ignore a VG
that can't be read or is inconsistent.
The lvmcache info might be resued, most notably in lvm shell.
We need to be sure that even lvmcache_info marked as invalid
is removed from the lvmcache so it does not confuse any subsequent
code/commands executed later on.
Problematic example with the lvm shell:
lvm> pvs
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/sda lvm2 --- 128.00m 128.00m

Add metadata_devices and seg_metadata_le_ranges report fields.
Currently only defined for raid, but should probably be extended
to all other segment types that don't report all their device
usage in the 'devices' field.
When a command does a sequence of
vg_write + vg_commit + vg_write + vg_commit,
initialization of non-PV devices happens during the
first vg_write, and does not need to be repeated by
the second vg_write.
When creating a lockd VG, this sequence occurs because
the VG is first created, then the lockd data is created,
then the lockd data is then written to the VG metadata.
Certain stacks of cached LVs may have unexpected consequences.
So add a warning function called when LV is cached to detect
such caces and WARN user about them - the best we could do ATM.
When we insert layer we also move status flag-bits for certain LV types,
so internal volume_group structure remains consistent.
(Perhaps it's misuse of 'insert_layer' function and we should have
another similar function for this.)
Basically we aim to maintain the same state as after reading fresh
metadata out of volume group.
Currently we when i.e. cache 'raid' LV - this should transfer 'raidLV' flag
to _corigin LV and cache is no longer a raid.
TODO: bits for stacked devices needs more exact rules.
Move code which runtime detects settings for cache_policy
out of config dir to cache seg handling code.
Also mark cache_mode as command profilable setting.
Revert back to already existing behavior which has been slightly
modified by a900d150e4.
At the end however it seem to be equal to change TID right with first
metadata write.
Existing code missed handling for 'unused' thin-pool which would
require to also check empty message list for TID==0.
So with the fix we now again preserve 'active' thin-pool volume
when first thin volume is created - this property was lost and caused
problems in cluster, where the lock was hold, but volume was no longer
active on the node.
Another missing part was the proper support for already increased,
but unfinished TID change.
So going back here with existing logic -
TID is increased with first MDA update.
Code allows start with either same TID or (TID-1).
If there are messages, TID must be lower by 1 for sending,
otherwise messages were already posted.
Change logic and naming of some internal API functions.
cache_set_mode() and cache_set_policy() both take segment.
cache mode is now correctly 'masked-in'.
If the passed segment is 'cache' segment - it will automatically
try to find 'defaults' according to profiles if the are NOT
specified on command line or they are NOT already set for cache-pool.
These defaults are never set for cache-pool.
Add code to detect available cache features.
Support policy_mq & policy_smq features which might be disabled.
Introduce global_cache_disabled_features_CFG.
lvrename should not be done if the LV is active on another host.
This check was mistakenly removed when the code was changed to
use LV uuids in locks rather than LV names.
The vgchange/lvchange activation commands read the VG, and
don't write it, so they acquire a shared VG lock from lvmlockd.
When other commands fail to acquire a shared VG lock from
lvmlockd, a warning is printed and they continue without it.
(Without it, the VG metadata they display from lvmetad may
not be up to date.)
vgchange/lvchange -a shouldn't continue without the shared
lock for a couple reasons:
. Usually they will just continue on and fail to acquire the
LV locks for activation, so continuing is pointless.
. More importantly, without the sh VG lock, the VG metadata
used by the command may be stale, and the LV locks shown
in the VG metadata may no longer be current. In the
case of sanlock, this would result in odd, unpredictable
errors when lvmlockd doesn't find the expected lock on
disk. In the case of dlm, the invalid LV lock could be
granted for the non-existing LV.
The solution is to not continue after the shared lock fails,
in the same way that a command fails if an exclusive lock fails.
A segfault was reported when extending an LV with a smaller number of
stripes than originally used. Under unusual circumstances, the cling
detection code could successfully find a match against the excess
stripe positions and think it had finished prematurely leading to an
allocation being pursued with a length of zero.
Rename ix_offset to num_positional_areas and move it to struct
alloc_state so that _is_condition() can obtain access to it.
In _is_condition(), areas_size can no longer be assumed to match the
number of positional slots being filled so check this newly-exposed
num_positional_areas directly instead. If the slot is outside the
range we are trying to fill, just ignore the match for now.
(Also note that the code still only performs cling detection against
the first segment of the LV.)
Keep policy name separate from policy settings and avoid
to mangling and demangling this string from same config tree.
Ensure policy_name is always defined.
There are two different failure conditions detected in
access_vg_lock_type() that should have different error
messages. This adds another failure flag so the two
cases can be distinguished to avoid printing a misleading
error message.
There are at least a couple instances where
the lock_args check does not work correctly,
(listed in the comment), so disable the
NULL check for lock_args until those are
resolved.
Existing messaging intarface for thin-pool has a few 'weak' points:
* Message were posted with each 'resume' operation, thus not allowing
activation of thin-pool with the existing state.
* Acceleration skipped suspend step has not worked in cluster,
since clvmd resumes only nodes which are suspended (have proper lock
state).
* Resume may fail and code is not really designed to 'fail' in this
phase (generic rule here is resume DOES NOT fail unless something serious
is wrong and lvm2 tool usually doesn't handle recovery path in this case.)
* Full thin-pool suspend happened, when taken a thin-volume snapshot.
With this patch the new method relocates message passing into suspend
state.
This has a few drawbacks with current API, but overal it performs
better and gives are more posibilities to deal with errors.
Patch introduces a new logic for 'origin-only' suspend of thin-pool and
this also relates to thin-volume when taking snapshot.
When suspend_origin_only operation is invoked on a pool with
queued messages then only those messages are posted to thin-pool and
actual suspend of thin pool and data and metadata volume is skipped.
This makes taking a snapshot of thin-volume lighter operation and
avoids blocking of other unrelated active thin volumes.
Also fail now happens in 'suspend' state where the 'Fail' is more expected
and it is better handled through error paths.
Activation of thin-pool is now not sending any message and leaves upto a tool
to decided later how to finish unfinished double-commit transaction.
Problem which needs some API improvements relates to the lvm2 tree
construction. For the suspend tree we do not add target table line
into the tree, but only a device is inserted into a tree.
Current mechanism to attach messages for thin-pool requires the libdm
to know about thin-pool target, so lvm2 currently takes assumption, node
is really a thin-pool and fills in the table line for this node (which
should be ensured by the PRELOAD phase, but it's a misuse of internal API)
we would possibly need to be able to attach message to 'any' node.
Other thing to notice - current messaging interface in thin-pool
target requires to suspend thin volume origin first and then send
a create message, but this could not have any 'nice' solution on lvm2
side and IMHO we should introduce something like 'create_after_resume'
message.
Patch also changes the moment, where lvm2 transaction id is increased.
Now it happens only after successful finish of kernel transaction id
change. This change was needed to handle properly activation of pool,
which is in the middle of unfinished transaction, and also this corrects
usage of thin-pool by external apps like Docker.
Make it possible to define format for time that is displayed.
The way the format is defined is equal to the way that is used
for strftime function, although not all formatting options as
used in strftime are available for LVM2 - the set is restricted
(e.g. we do not allow newline to be printed). The lvm.conf
comments contain the whole list that LVM2 accepts for time format
together with brief description (copied from strftime man page).
For example:
(defaults used - the format is the same as used before this patch)
$ lvs -o+time vg/lvol0 vg/lvol1
LV VG Attr LSize Time
lvol0 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m 2015-06-25 16:18:34 +0200
lvol1 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m 2015-06-29 09:17:11 +0200
(using 'time_format = "@%s"' in lvm.conf - number of seconds
since the Epoch)
$ lvs -o+time vg/lvol0 vg/lvol1
LV VG Attr LSize Time
lvol0 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m @1435241914
lvol1 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m @1435562231
Synchronize with udev logic before reusing device as snapshot.
This patch tries to fix the problem with udev, where we manage
to 'active' LV for clearing, then we deactivate such device and
active again as member of 'origin&snapshot' tree all in 1 step.
There needs to be a sync point where udev has time to remove all links,
otherwise we race with scans and we may end-up with mysterious 'free'
links in the system pointing to wrong dm names.
This patch tries to fix failing topology cluster tests..
With thin-pool kernel target module 1.13 it's now support usage of
external origin with sizes which are not 'alligned' with chunk size
of thin-pool.
Enable lvm2 support for this and also fix reporting of data_percent
usage for case sizes are not alligned.
Just as 'e' means activation with an exclusive lock,
add an 's' to mean activation with a shared lock.
This allows the existing but implicit behavior of '-ay'
of clvm LVs to be specified explicitly. For local VGs,
asy simply means ay, just like aey means ay.
For local VGs, ay == aey == asy
For clvm VGs, ay == asy, aey == aey, asy == asy
In process_each_{vg,lv,pv} when no vgname args are given,
the first step is to get a list of all vgid/vgname on the
system. This is exactly what lvmetad returns from a
vg_list request. The current code is doing a vg_lookup
on each VG after the vg_list and populating lvmcache with
the info for each VG. These preliminary vg_lookup's are
unnecessary, because they will be done again when the
processing functions call vg_read. This patch eliminates
the initial round of vg_lookup's, which can roughly cut in
half the number of lvmetad requests and save a lot of extra work.
When kernel target reports sync status as 0% it might as well mean
it's 100% in sync, just the target is in some race inconsistent
state - so reread once again and take a more optimistic value ;)
Patch tries to work around:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1210637
When performing initial allocation (so there is nothing yet to
cling to), use the list of tags in allocation/cling_tag_list to
partition the PVs. We implement this by maintaining a list of
tags that have been "used up" as we proceed and ignoring further
devices that have a tag on the list.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/983600
Add A_PARTITION_BY_TAGS set when allocated areas should not share tags
with each other and allow _match_pv_tags to accept an alternative list
of tags. (Not used yet.)
Do not keep dangling LVs if they're removed from the vg->lvs list and
move them to vg->removed_lvs instead (this is actually similar to already
existing vg->removed_pvs list, just it's for LVs now).
Once we have this vg->removed_lvs list indexed so it's possible to
do lookups for LVs quickly, we can remove the LV_REMOVED flag as
that one won't be needed anymore - instead of checking the flag,
we can directly check the vg->removed_lvs list if the LV is present
there or not and to say if the LV is removed or not then. For now,
we don't have this index, but it may be implemented in the future.
This avoids a problem in which we're using selection on LV list - we
need to do the selection on initial state and not on any intermediary
state as we process LVs one by one - some of the relations among LVs
can be gone during this processing.
For example, processing one LV can cause the other LVs to lose the
relation to this LV and hence they're not selectable anymore with
the original selection criteria as it would be if we did selection
on inital state. A perfect example is with thin snapshots:
$ lvs -o lv_name,origin,layout,role vg
LV Origin Layout Role
lvol1 thin,sparse public,origin,thinorigin,multithinorigin
lvol2 lvol1 thin,sparse public,snapshot,thinsnapshot

$ lvremove -ff -S 'lv_name=lvol1 || origin=lvol1'
Logical volume "lvol1" successfully removed
The lvremove command above was supposed to remove lvol1 as well as
all its snapshots which have origin=lvol1. It failed to do so, because
once we removed the origin lvol1, the lvol2 and lvol3 which were
snapshots before are not snapshots anymore - the relations change
as we're processing these LVs one by one.
If we do the selection first and then execute any concrete actions on
these LVs (which is what this patch does), the behaviour is correct
then - the selection is done on the *initial state*:
$ lvremove -ff -S 'lv_name=lvol1 || origin=lvol1'
Logical volume "lvol1" successfully removed
Logical volume "lvol2" successfully removed
Logical volume "lvol3" successfully removed
Similarly for all the other situations in which relations among
LVs are being changed by processing the LVs one by one.
This patch also introduces LV_REMOVED internal LV status flag
to mark removed LVs so they're not processed further when we
iterate over collected list of LVs to be processed.
Previously, when we iterated directly over vg->lvs list to
process the LVs, we relied on the fact that once the LV is removed,
it is also removed from the vg->lvs list we're iterating over.
But that was incorrect as we shouldn't remove LVs from the list
during one iteration while we're iterating over that exact list
(dm_list_iterate_items safe can handle only one removal at
one iteration anyway, so it can't be used here).
Refactor the recent metadata-reading optimisation patches.
Remove the recently-added cache fields from struct labeller
and struct format_instance.
Instead, introduce struct lvmcache_vgsummary to wrap the VG information
that lvmcache holds and add the metadata size and checksum to it.
Allow this VG summary information to be looked up by metadata size +
checksum. Adjust the debug log messages to make it clear when this
shortcut has been successful.
(This changes the optimisation slightly, and might be extendable
further.)
Add struct cached_vg_fmtdata to format-specific vg_read calls to
preserve state alongside the VG across separate calls and indicate
if the details supplied match, avoiding the need to read and
process the VG metadata again.
Since we take a lock inside vg_lock_newname() and we do a full
detection of presence of vgname inside all scanned labels,
there is no point to do this for second time to be sure
there is no such vg.
The only side-effect of such call would be a full validation of
some already exising VG metadata - but that's not the task for
vgcreate when create a new VG.
This call noticable reduces number of scans during 'vgcreate'.
When reading VG mda from multiple PVs - do all the validation only
when mda is seen for the first time and when mda checksum and length
is same just return already existing VG pointer.
(i.e. using 300PVs for a VG would lead to create and destroy 300 config trees....)
Previous versions of lvm will not obey the restrictions
imposed by the new system_id, and would allow such a VG
to be written. So, a VG with a new system_id is further
changed to force previous lvm versions to treat it as
read-only. This is done by removing the WRITE flag from
the metadata status line of these VGs, and putting a new
WRITE_LOCKED flag in the flags line of the metadata.
Versions of lvm that recognize WRITE_LOCKED, also obey the
new system_id. For these lvm versions, WRITE_LOCKED is
identical to WRITE, and the rules associated with matching
system_id's are imposed.
A new VG lock_type field is also added that causes the same
WRITE/WRITE_LOCKED transformation when set. A previous
version of lvm will also see a VG with lock_type as read-only.
Versions of lvm that recognize WRITE_LOCKED, must also obey
the lock_type setting. Until the lock_type feature is added,
lvm will fail to read any VG with lock_type set and report an
error about an unsupported lock_type. Once the lock_type
feature is added, lvm will allow VGs with lock_type to be
used according to the rules imposed by the lock_type.
When both system_id and lock_type settings are removed, a VG
is written with the old WRITE status flag, and without the
new WRITE_LOCKED flag. This allows old versions of lvm to
use the VG as before.
The seg_monitor did not display monitored status for thick snapshots
and mirrors (with mirror log *not* mirrored). The seg monitor did work
correctly even before for other segtypes - thins and raids.

Set ACCESS_NEEDS_SYSTEM_ID VG status flag whenever there is
a non-lvm1 system_id set. Prevents concurrent access from
older LVM2 versions.
Not set on VGs that bear a system_id only due to conversion
from lvm1 metadata.
