Initial support for thin-pool used slightly smaller max size 15.81GiB
for thin-pool metadata. However the real limit later settled at 15.88GiB
(difference is ~64MiB - 16448 4K blocks).
lvm2 could not simply increase the size as it has been using hard cropping
of the loaded metadata device to avoid warnings printing warning of kernel
when the size was bigger (i.e. due to bigger extent_size).
This patch adds the new lvm.conf configurable setting:
allocation/thin_pool_crop_metadata
which defaults to 0 -> no crop of metadata beyond 15.81GiB.
Only user with these sizes of metadata will be affected.
Without cropping lvm2 now limits metadata allocation size to 15.88GiB.
Any space beyond is currently not used by thin-pool target.
Even if i.e. bigger LV is used for metadata via lvconvert,
or allocated bigger because of to large extent size.
With cropping enabled (=1) lvm2 preserves the old limitation
15.81GiB and should allow to work in the evironement with
older lvm2 tools (i.e. older distribution).
Thin-pool metadata with size bigger then 15.81G is now using CROP_METADATA
flag within lvm2 metadata, so older lvm2 recognizes an
incompatible thin-pool and cannot activate such pool!
Users should use uncropped version as it is not suffering
from various issues between thin_repair results and allocated
metadata LV as thin_repair limit is 15.88GiB
Users should use cropping only when really needed!
Patch also better handles resize of thin-pool metadata and prevents resize
beoyond usable size 15.88GiB. Resize beyond 15.81GiB automatically
switches pool to no-crop version. Even with existing bigger thin-pool
metadata command 'lvextend -l+1 vg/pool_tmeta' does the change.
Patch gives better controls 'coverted' metadata LV and
reports less confusing message during conversion.
Patch set also moves the code for updating min/max into pool_manip.c
for better sharing with cache_pool code.
Check that type is always defined, if not make it explicit internal
error (although logged as debug - so catched only with proper lvm.conf
setting).
This ensures later type being NULL can't be dereferenced with coredump.
DM tree keeps track of created device while preloading a device tree.
When fail occures during such preload, it will now try to remove
all created and preloaded device. This makes it easier to maintain
stacking of device, since we do not need to check in-depth for
existance of all possible created devices during the failure.
Switch remaining zero sized struct to flexible arrays to be C99
complient.
These simple rules should apply:
- The incomplete array type must be the last element within the structure.
- There cannot be an array of structures that contain a flexible array member.
- Structures that contain a flexible array member cannot be used as a member of another structure.
- The structure must contain at least one named member in addition to the flexible array member.
Although some of the code pieces should be still improved.
dm-integrity stores checksums of the data written to an
LV, and returns an error if data read from the LV does
not match the previously saved checksum. When used on
raid images, dm-raid will correct the error by reading
the block from another image, and the device user sees
no error. The integrity metadata (checksums) are stored
on an internal LV allocated by lvm for each linear image.
The internal LV is allocated on the same PV as the image.
Create a raid LV with an integrity layer over each
raid image (for raid levels 1,4,5,6,10):
lvcreate --type raidN --raidintegrity y [options]
Add an integrity layer to images of an existing raid LV:
lvconvert --raidintegrity y LV
Remove the integrity layer from images of a raid LV:
lvconvert --raidintegrity n LV
Settings
Use --raidintegritymode journal|bitmap (journal is default)
to configure the method used by dm-integrity to ensure
crash consistency.
Initialization
When integrity is added to an LV, the kernel needs to
initialize the integrity metadata/checksums for all blocks
in the LV. The data corruption checking performed by
dm-integrity will only operate on areas of the LV that
are already initialized. The progress of integrity
initialization is reported by the "syncpercent" LV
reporting field (and under the Cpy%Sync lvs column.)
Example: create a raid1 LV with integrity:
$ lvcreate --type raid1 -m1 --raidintegrity y -n rr -L1G foo
Creating integrity metadata LV rr_rimage_0_imeta with size 12.00 MiB.
Logical volume "rr_rimage_0_imeta" created.
Creating integrity metadata LV rr_rimage_1_imeta with size 12.00 MiB.
Logical volume "rr_rimage_1_imeta" created.
Logical volume "rr" created.
$ lvs -a foo
LV VG Attr LSize Origin Cpy%Sync
rr foo rwi-a-r--- 1.00g 4.93
[rr_rimage_0] foo gwi-aor--- 1.00g [rr_rimage_0_iorig] 41.02
[rr_rimage_0_imeta] foo ewi-ao---- 12.00m
[rr_rimage_0_iorig] foo -wi-ao---- 1.00g
[rr_rimage_1] foo gwi-aor--- 1.00g [rr_rimage_1_iorig] 39.45
[rr_rimage_1_imeta] foo ewi-ao---- 12.00m
[rr_rimage_1_iorig] foo -wi-ao---- 1.00g
[rr_rmeta_0] foo ewi-aor--- 4.00m
[rr_rmeta_1] foo ewi-aor--- 4.00m
reporting fields (-o) directly from kernel:
writecache_total_blocks
writecache_free_blocks
writecache_writeback_blocks
writecache_error
The data_percent field shows used cache blocks / total cache blocks.
Adds support for the DM_GET_TARGET_VERSION to dmsetup.
It introduces a new comman "target-version" that will accept list
of targets and print their version.
Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com>
Kernels <2.6.27 don't have /sys/dev dir - add code for looking
out device name via longre seach in /sys/block
This makes commands like 'dmsetup dep -o blkdevname' working.
Recent kernel version from kernel commit:
de7180ff908b2bc0342e832dbdaa9a5f1ecaa33a
started to report in cache status line new flag:
no_discard_passdown
Whenever lvm spots unknown status it reports:
Unknown feature in status:
So add reconginzing this feature flag and also report this with
'lvs -o+kernel_discards'
When no_discard_passdown is found in status 'nopassdown' gets reported
for this field (roughly matching what we report for thin-pools).
lvm2 till version 2.02.169 (commit 78d004efa8)
was printing invalid creation_time argument into metadata on 32bit arch.
However with commit ba9820b142 we started
to properly validate all input numbers and thus we refused to accept
invalid metadata with 'garbage' string - but this results in the
situation where metadata produced on older lvm2 on 32 bit architecture
will become unreadable after upgrade.
To fix this case - extend libdm parser in a way, that whenever we
find error integer value, we also check if the parsed value is not for
creation_time node and in this case we let the metadata pass through
with made-up date 2018-05-24 (release date of 2.02.169).
When using caches with BIG pool size (>TB) there is required
to use relatively huge chunk size. Once the chunksize has
got over 1MiB - kernel cache target stopped writing such chunks
back on this if the migration_threshold remained on default 1MiB
(2048 sectors) size.
This patch ensure, DM layer will not let pass table line which
has not big enough migration threshold that can let pass
at least 8 chunks (independently of lvm2 metadata).
Since configure.h is a generated header and it's missing traditional
ifdefs preambule - it can be included & parsed multiple times.
Normally compiler is fine when defines have same value and there is
no warning - yet we don't need to parse this several times
and by adding -include directive we can ensure every file
in the package is rightly compile with configure.h as the
first header file.
Drop very old original format of VDO target and focus on V2 version.
So some variables were renamed or replaced.
There is no compatibility preserved (with assumption so far this is
experimental feature and there is no real user).
Note - version currently VDO calls this version 6.2.
A bit of chicken & egg problem - dmeventd needs to use old libdm library.
VDO is only part of new device_mapper internal library.
So include directly source file for parsing status - this fixes usability
problem of VDO plugin introduced with previous Makefile reshaping
patchset.
NOTE: source file needs to be keep then compilable in both environments.
Also add missing copyright header.
Ensure configure.h is always 1st. included header.
Maybe we could eventually introduce gcc -include option, but for now
this better uses dependency tracking.
Also move _REENTRANT and _GNU_SOURCE into configure.h so it
doesn't need to be present in various source files.
This ensures consistent compilation of headers like stdio.h since
it may produce different declaration.
Patch 668c9d0762 introduced regression,
since the code here would actually always return failing result.
Replace it with more simple call to strndup().
For some targets we do not want to generate dependencies.
Also add note about usage of such Makefile - it might be
possibly better to rename it to different filename to avoid
any confusion.
Just for case ensure compiler is not able to optimize
memset() away for resources that are released.
This idea of using memory barrier is taken from openssl.
Other options would be to check for 'explicit_bzero' function.
When preparing ioctl buffer and flatting all parameters,
add table parameters only to ioctl that do process them.
Note: list of ioctl should be kept in sync with kernel code.
DM_DEVICE_CREATE with table is doing several ioctl operations,
however only some of then takes parameters.
Since _create_and_load_v4() reused already existing dm task from
DM_DEVICE_RELOAD it has also kept passing its table parameters
to DM_DEVICE_RESUME ioctl - but this ioctl is supposed to not take
any argument and thus there is no wiping of passed data - and
since kernel returns buffer and shortens dmi->data_size accordingly,
anything past returned data size remained uncleared in zfree()
function.
This has problem if the user used dm_task_secure_data (i.e. cryptsetup),
as in this case binary expact secured data are erased from main memory
after use, but they may have been left in place.
This patch is also closing the possible hole for error path,
which also reuse same dm task structure for DM_DEVICE_REMOVE.
This could be seen as continuation of
6cee8f1b06.
Some test maching with old udev system shows problem,
where udev 'jumps on' leg device after mirror target
releases its legs - since udev does not (in this old case) skips
such device from scanning - it opens device - and this prevent
leg device to be deactivated - effectively such device stays
'leaked' in DM table invisibly to lvm2 command.
So to 'combat' this issue - if the device has '_mimage' in its name,
the retry of deactivation is automatically assumed.
NOTE: wider impact is unexpected - as it's touching only old mirror
target which is nowadays replaced with 'raid'.
In case there will be some problem identified - probably both patches
should be reverted.
With older systems and udevs we don't have control over scanning of lvm2
internal devices - so far we set retry-removal only for top-level LVs,
but in occasional cases udev can be 'fast enough' to open device for
scanning and prevent removal of such device from DM table.
So to combat this case - try to pass 'retry' flag also for removal of
internal device so see how many races can go away with this simple
patch.
Note: patch is applied only to internal version of libdm so the external
API remains working in the old way for now.
If a single, standard LV is specified as the cache, use
it directly instead of converting it into a cache-pool
object with two separate LVs (for data and metadata).
With a single LV as the cache, lvm will use blocks at the
beginning for metadata, and the rest for data. Separate
dm linear devices are set up to point at the metadata and
data areas of the LV. These dm devs are given to the
dm-cache target to use.
The single LV cache cannot be resized without recreating it.
If the --poolmetadata option is used to specify an LV for
metadata, then a cache pool will be created (with separate
LVs for data and metadata.)
