It's no longer needed. Clustered VGs are now handled in
the same way as foreign VGs, and as shared VGs that
can't be accessed:
- A command processing all VGs sees a clustered VG,
prints a message ("Skipping clustered VG foo."),
skips it, and does not fail.
- A command where the clustered VG is explicitly
named on the command line, prints a message and fails.
"Cannot access clustered VG foo, see lvmlockd(8)."
The option is listed in the set of ignored options for
the commands that previously accepted it. (Removing it
entirely would cause commands/scripts to fail if they
set it.)
Shuffle code for better readability as set of conditions was
hard to follow.
Make it obvious the refresh & activate path is handling
monitoring and polling on its own.
So the only --monitor and --poll option needs explicit care.
Option --monitor without option --poll will now as a result
of this patch NOT start polling.
So command: vgchange --monitor n is no longer a polling starter.
Restoring polling for activated volumes lost with my recent commit:
75fed05d3e and move start of polling
directly into _activate_lvs_in_vg() - as there we know exactly
if there was some volume even activated.
Also make it sharing same code for pvscan -aay.
The previous method for forcibly changing a clustered VG
to a local VG involved using -cn and locking_type 0.
Since those options are deprecated, replace it with
the same command used for other forced lock type changes:
vgchange --locktype none --lockopt force.
vgreduce, vgremove and vgcfgrestore were acquiring
the orphan lock in the midst of command processing
instead of at the start of the command. (The orphan
lock moved to being acquired at the start of the
command back when pvcreate/vgcreate/vgextend were
reworked based on pvcreate_each_device.)
vgsplit also needed a small update to avoid reacquiring
a VG lock that it already held (for the new VG name).
A few places were calling a function to check if a
VG lock was held. The only place it was actually
needed is for pvcreate which wants to do its own
locking (and scanning) around process_each_pv.
The locking/scanning exceptions for pvcreate in
process_each_pv/vg_read can be enabled by just passing
a couple of flags instead of checking if the VG is
already locked. This also means that these special
cases won't be enabled unknowingly in other places
where they shouldn't be used.
The last commit related to this was incomplete:
"Implement lock-override options without locking type"
This is further reworking and reduction of the locking.[ch]
layer which handled all clustering, but is now only used
for file locking. The "locking types" that this layer
implemented were removed previously, leaving only the
standard file locking. (Some cluster-related artifacts
remain to be cleared out later.)
Command options to override or modify locking behavior
are reimplemented here without using the locking types.
Also, deprecated locking_type values are recognized,
and implemented as if one of the equivalent override
options was set.
Options that override file locking are:
. --nolocking disables all file locking.
. --readonly grants read lock requests without actually
taking a file lock, and refuses write lock requests.
. --ignorelockingfailure tries to set up file locks and
uses them normally if possible. When not possible, it
behaves like --readonly, but allows activation.
. --sysinit is the same as ignorelockingfailure.
. global/metadata_read_only acquires actual read file
locks, and refuses write lock requests.
(Some of these options could probably be deprecated
because they were added as workarounds to various
locking_type behaviors that are now deprecated.)
The locking_type setting now has one valid value: 1 which
refers to standard file locking. Configs that contain
deprecated values are recognized and still work in
largely the same way:
. 0 disabled all locking, now implemented like --nolocking
is set. Allow the nolocking option in all commands.
. 1 is the normal file locking setting and is unchanged.
. 2 was for external locking which was not used, and
reverts to normal file locking.
. 3 was for cluster/clvm. This reverts to normal file
locking, and prints messages about lvmlockd.
. 4 was equivalent to readonly, now implemented like
--readonly is set.
. 5 disabled all locking, now implemented like
--nolocking is set.
The options: --nolocking, --readonly, --sysinit
override, or make exceptions to, the normal file locking
behavior. Implement these by just checking for the
options in the file locking path instead of using
special locking types.
Make activation commands:
vgchange -ay, lvchange -ay, pvscan -aay
take an exclusive file lock on the VG to serialize
multiple concurrent activation commands which could
otherwise interfere with each other.
Four commands lock two VGs at a time:
- vgsplit and vgmerge already have their own logic to
acquire the locks in the correct order.
- vgimportclone and vgrename disable this ordering check.
Different flavors of activate_lv() and lv_is_active()
which are meaningful in a clustered VG can be eliminated
and replaced with whatever that flavor already falls back
to in a local VG.
e.g. lv_is_active_exclusive_locally() is distinct from
lv_is_active() in a clustered VG, but in a local VG they
are equivalent. So, all instances of the variant are
replaced with the basic local equivalent.
For local VGs, the same behavior remains as before.
For shared VGs, lvmlockd was written with the explicit
requirement of local behavior from these functions
(lvmlockd requires locking_type 1), so the behavior
in shared VGs also remains the same.
"lvconvert --type {linear|striped|raid*} ..." on a striped/linear
LV provides convenience interim type to convert to the requested
final layout similar to the given raid* <-> raid* conveninece types.
Whilst on it, add missing raid5_n convenince type from raid5* to raid10.

Resolves: rhbz1447809
Resolves: rhbz1573255
In this command, lvcreate creates a new LV and then combines
it with an existing cache pool, producing a cache LV. This
command was previously not allowed in in a shared VG.
When the lvmlockd lock is shared, upgrade it to ex
when repair (writing) is needed during vg_read.
Pass the lockd state through additional read-related
functions so the instances of repair scattered through
vg_read can be handled.
(Temporary solution until the ad hoc repairs can be
pulled out of vg_read into a top level, centralized
repair function.)
The report uses process_each_vg() which populates lvmcache
based on a VG list from lvmetad. If there are no VGs,
but only orphan PVs, the orphans are not shown. Add an
explicit call to populate lvmcache with PV info from lvmetad.
The device-mapper directory now holds a copy of libdm source. At
the moment this code is identical to libdm. Over time code will
migrate out to appropriate places (see doc/refactoring.txt).
The libdm directory still exists, and contains the source for the
libdevmapper shared library, which we will continue to ship (though
not neccessarily update).
All code using libdm should now use the version in device-mapper.
As we start refactoring the code to break dependencies (see doc/refactoring.txt),
I want us to use full paths in the includes (eg, #include "base/data-struct/list.h").
This makes it more obvious when we're breaking abstraction boundaries, eg, including a file in
metadata/ from base/
ATM it's a bit ugly to enforce flushing of 'stdio' here, but works as quick
hot-fix.
log_print*() is using buffered I/O.
But for pooling with typical 1s interval this may take a while before
buffer about continues progress gets flushed.
So ATM fflush().
TODO: either add log_print*_with_flush() or maybe directly use just
line buffering with log_print() and only log_debug() keep using buffered
I/O mode.
with the --labelsector option. We probably don't
need all this code to support any value for this
option; it's unclear how, when, why it would be
used.
Filters are still applied before any device reading or
the label scan, but any filter checks that want to read
the device are skipped and the device is flagged.
After bcache is populated, but before lvm looks for
devices (i.e. before label scan), the filters are
reapplied to the devices that were flagged above.
The filters will then find the data they need in
bcache.
The clvmd saved_vg data is independent from the normal lvm
lvmcache vginfo data, so separate saved_vg from vginfo.
Normal lvm doesn't need to use save_vg at all, and in clvmd,
lvmcache changes on vginfo can be made without worrying
about unwanted effects on saved_vg.
I don't like having this in a common header because it means you end
up including too much and causing unneccessary dependencies. eg,
lib/misc/lib.h includes libdevmapper.h, internationalisation, and
logging stuff.
There are likely more bits of code that can be removed,
e.g. lvm1/pool-specific bits of code that were identified
using FMT flags.
The vgconvert command can likely be reduced further.
The lvm1-specific config settings should probably have
some other fields set for proper deprecation.
Shift refresh of mirror table right into monitor_dev_for_events().
Use !vg_write_lock_held() to recognize use of lvchange/vgchange.
(this shall change if this would no longer work, but requires
futher some API changes).
With this patch dm mirror table is only refreshed when necassary.
Also update WARNING message about mirror usage without monitoring
and display LV name.
When pvmove was run in background mode and forks
instead of using lvmpolld, the child pvmove process
was not clearing the bcache from the parent, so all
the aio ops in the child were failing.
For reporting commands (pvs,vgs,lvs,pvdisplay,vgdisplay,lvdisplay)
we do not need to repeat the label scan of devices in vg_read if
they all had matching metadata in the initial label scan. The
data read by label scan can just be reused for the vg_read.
This cuts the amount of device i/o in half, from two reads of
each device to one. We have to be careful to avoid repairing
the VG if we've skipped rescanning. (The VG repair code is very
poor, and will be redone soon.)
Recent changes allow some major simplification of the way
lvmcache works and is used. lvmcache_label_scan is now
called in a controlled fashion at the start of commands,
and not via various unpredictable side effects. Remove
various calls to it from other places. lvmcache_label_scan
should not be called from anywhere during a command, because
it produces an incorrect representation of PVs with no MDAs,
and misclassifies them as orphans. This has been a long
standing problem. The invalid flag and rescanning based on
that is no longer used and removed. The 'force' variation is
no longer needed and removed.
When a PV is stacked on an LV, the LV will be kept in
bcache, and the open fd on the LV may interfere with
processing the LV. So, drop/close a bcache fd for
an LV before processing the LV.
Create a new dev->bcache_fd that the scanning code owns
and is in charge of opening/closing. This prevents other
parts of lvm code (which do various open/close) from
interfering with the bcache fd. A number of dev_open
and dev_close are removed from the reading path since
the read path now uses the bcache.
With that in place, open(O_EXCL) for pvcreate/pvremove
can then be fixed. That wouldn't work previously because
of other open fds.
In the same way as the other process_each functions.
In the common case all the info that's needed can be
used from lvmcache after a label scan. But this means
that unchosen devs for duplicate PVs need to be handled
explicitly.
The copy of VG metadata stored in lvmcache was not being used
in general. It pretended to be a generic VG metadata cache,
but was not being used except for clvmd activation. There
it was used to avoid reading from disk while devices were
suspended, i.e. in resume.
This removes the code that attempted to make this look
like a generic metadata cache, and replaces with with
something narrowly targetted to what it's actually used for.
This is a way of passing the VG from suspend to resume in
clvmd. Since in the case of clvmd one caller can't simply
pass the same VG to both suspend and resume, suspend needs
to stash the VG somewhere that resume can grab it from.
(resume doesn't want to read it from disk since devices
are suspended.) The lvmcache vginfo struct is used as a
convenient place to stash the VG to pass it from suspend
to resume, even though it isn't related to the lvmcache
or vginfo. These suspended_vg* vginfo fields should
not be used or touched anywhere else, they are only to
be used for passing the VG data from suspend to resume
in clvmd. The VG data being passed between suspend and
resume is never modified, and will only exist in the
brief period between suspend and resume in clvmd.
suspend has both old (current) and new (precommitted)
copies of the VG metadata. It stashes both of these in
the vginfo prior to suspending devices. When vg_commit
is successful, it sets a flag in vginfo as before,
signaling the transition from old to new metadata.
resume grabs the VG stashed by suspend. If the vg_commit
happened, it grabs the new VG, and if the vg_commit didn't
happen it grabs the old VG. The VG is then used to resume
LVs.
This isolates clvmd-specific code and usage from the
normal lvm vg_read code, making the code simpler and
the behavior easier to verify.
Sequence of operations:
- lv_suspend() has both vg_old and vg_new
and stashes a copy of each onto the vginfo:
lvmcache_save_suspended_vg(vg_old);
lvmcache_save_suspended_vg(vg_new);
- vg_commit() happens, which causes all clvmd
instances to call lvmcache_commit_metadata(vg).
A flag is set in the vginfo indicating the
transition from the old to new VG:
vginfo->suspended_vg_committed = 1;
- lv_resume() needs either vg_old or vg_new
to use in resuming LVs. It doesn't want to
read the VG from disk since devices are
suspended, so it gets the VG stashed by
lv_suspend:
vg = lvmcache_get_suspended_vg(vgid);
If the vg_commit did not happen, suspended_vg_committed
will not be set, and in this case, lvmcache_get_suspended_vg()
will return the old VG instead of the new VG, and it will
resume LVs based on the old metadata.
The old code was doing unnecessary label scans when
checking to see if the new VG name exists. A single
label_scan is sufficient if it is done after the
new VG lock is held.
Move the location of scans to make it clearer and avoid
unnecessary repeated scanning. There should be one scan
at the start of a command which is then used through the
rest of command processing.
Previously, the initial label scan was called as a side effect
from various utility functions. This would lead to it being called
unnecessarily. It is an expensive operation, and should only be
called when necessary. Also, this is a primary step in the
function of the command, and as such it should be called prominently
at the top level of command processing, not as a hidden side effect
of a utility function. lvm knows exactly where and when the
label scan needs to be done. Because of this, move the label scan
calls from the internal functions to the top level of processing.
Other specific instances of lvmcache_label_scan() are still called
unnecessarily or unclearly by specific commands that do not use
the common process_each functions. These will be improved in
future commits.
During the processing phase, rescanning labels for devices in a VG
needs to be done after the VG lock is acquired in case things have
changed since the initial label scan. This was being done by way
of rescanning devices that had the INVALID flag set in lvmcache.
This usually approximated the right set of devices, but it was not
exact, and obfuscated the real requirement. Correct this by using
a new function that rescans the devices in the VG:
lvmcache_label_rescan_vg().
Apart from being inexact, the rescanning was extremely well hidden.
_vg_read() would call ->create_instance(), _text_create_text_instance(),
_create_vg_text_instance() which would call lvmcache_label_scan()
which would call _scan_invalid() which repeats the label scan on
devices flagged INVALID. lvmcache_label_rescan_vg() is now called
prominently by _vg_read() directly.
When adjusting region size for clustered VG it always needs to fit
2 full bitset into 1MB due to old limits of CPG.
This is relatively big amount of bits, but we have still limitation
for region size to fit into 32bits (0x8000000).
So for too big mirrors this operation needs to fail - so whenever
function returns now 0, it means we can't find matching region_size.
Since return 0 is now 'error' we need to also pass proper region_size
when creating pvmove mirror.
Fixing regresion on argument acceptance where any lv can be passed
with paramaterless lvconvert which is meant to figure out needed
operation - i.e. wait for mirror synchronization.
User has no other 'effective' method to wait for mirror getting in-sync.
Since we support snapshot of mirrors, we do need to properly check
for stacked lock holder - fixes problem of pvmove in cluster
with mirrors under snapshot.
WHATS_NEW for this patch goes with 'Restore pvmove support...'
Prevent call of dm_stats_populate(), when there has been no
stats region detected for a DM device.
Such skip is evaluated as 'correct' visit of stats call and
not causing 'dmstats' command failure.
Resulting loop table line was streamed to 'stderr' stream - assuming this
was not a feature when user used '-v' for more verbose output
and properly show it via 'log_verbose()' on 'stdout'.
Occasionaly users may need to peek into 'component devices.
Normally lvm2 does not let users activation component.
This patch adds special mode where user can activate
component LV in a 'read-only' mode i.e.:
lvchange -ay vg/pool_tdata
All devices can be deactivated with:
lvchange -an vg | vgchange -an....
If componet devices could be activated alone, ensure they are not breaking
common commands.
TODO: mostly likely this is not a definite list of all needed checks
and more will come later.
Improve pvmove to accept 'locally' active LVs together with
exclusive active LVs.
In the 1st. phase it now recognizes whether exclusive pvmove is needed.
For this case only 'exclusively' or 'locally-only without remote
activative state' LVs are acceptable and all others are skipped.
During build-up of pvmove 'activation' steps are taken, so if
there is any problem we can now 'skip' LVs from pvmove operation
rather then giving-up whole pvmove operation.
Also when pvmove is restarted, recognize need of exclusive pvmove,
and use it whenever there is LV, that require exclusive activation.
Check if the generated vg name still fits the buffer.
So too long strings are rejected.
Drop -1 from size passed to snprintf - as the \0 is already included.
This partially reverts commit da37cbd24f.
As the _cmdline structure use mempool for allocated ellement
that is being release on cmd_context close.
Before the better fix is made - restore previous logic and
reinitialize cmd structures again for new cmd_context.
Problem can be hit with e.g. this test run:

In fact pvmove does support 'clustered-core' target for clustered
pvmove of LVs activated on multiple nodes.
This patch restores support for activation of pvmove on all nodes
for LVs that are also activate on all nodes.
Use properly exclusive activation when reactivating origin after
snapshot merge (since origin must have been previously also exlusively
activated).
Same applies when converting volumes to thin-pool or cache.
Previously used 'only' local activation incorrectly allowed local
activation of some targets (i.e. raid) - thus 'leaking' chance to
activate same device on another node - which can be a problem
for device types like raid.
Introduce enum dev_io_reason to categorise block device I/O
in debug messages so it's obvious what it is for.
DEV_IO_SIGNATURES /* Scanning device signatures */
DEV_IO_LABEL /* LVM PV disk label */
DEV_IO_MDA_HEADER /* Text format metadata area header */
DEV_IO_MDA_CONTENT /* Text format metadata area content */
DEV_IO_FMT1 /* Original LVM1 metadata format */
DEV_IO_POOL /* Pool metadata format */
DEV_IO_LV /* Content written to an LV */
DEV_IO_LOG /* Logging messages */
When large size number (>2^31) is given on command line it could be
misdetected and in certain cases lead to wrongly casted number.
So make sure all cases always do set _MAX number in case the value would
not fit within the supported range instead of getting some random value
within the range.
In most cases this was not a problem to detect, but i.e. stripesize
parameter might have been fooled by certain large numbers.
Rewrite validation of stripes and stripe_size args into more readable
sequential code.
Extend reading of stripes & stripes_size args so it better knows
defaults for types like striped raid.
TODO: this should really be a value obtained for segtype structure and
all the weird conditions and modification of stripes and stripe_size
around lvm2 code should be dropped.
There is no need to differentiation between clustered VG and normal VG.
As the activation depends on locking type.
Use unconditionally locally exclusive activation for pvmove.
- Use 'lvmcache' consistently instead of 'metadata cache'
- Always use 5 characters for source line number
- Remember to convert uuids into printable form
- Use <no name> rather than (null) when VG has no name.
The persistent filter should not be imported by any command that doesn't
use it so take addtional note of REQUIRES_FULL_LABEL_SCAN (for vgrename)
and introduce IGNORE_PERSISTENT_FILTER for vgscan and pvscan.
Check and prevent starting another snapshot merge before
exiting merging is finished.
TODO: we can possibly implement smarter logic to drop existing
merging and start a new one.
Correct reported message when thin snapshot has been already merged.
So lvm2 is no longer reporting "Mergins of snapshot X will occur..."
(even with swapped names).
vgsplit shares the vg_rename code so that must only set the PV_MOVED_VG
flag introduced in commit 486ed10848
("vgmerge: Fix intermediate metadata corruption") on PVs that moved.
Since both lvcreate and lvconvert needs to check for same
type of allowed origin for snapshot - move the code into
a single function.
This way we also fix several inconsitencies where snapshot
has been allowed by mistake either through lvcreate or
lvconvert path.
Do not allow to take snapshot of mirror/raid leg or log or metadata LV.
This was actually never supported, but user was able to create it,
and this put device stack in hardly fixable state (needs manual work).
This prevents such creation to pass.
Also improve validation when recreating snapshot volume type
from origin and COW volume.
Correction to function for extracting vgname out of lvconvert
parameters.
Avoid repeating some checks.
Add code to handle generic options which may provide vgname in its argument
and compare them all so they match to a single vgname (otherwise it's a
error).
Extract default (envvar) vgname only when no position nor optional vgname is
found.
Fixing regression instroduce with patchset started with commit:
1e2420bca8 (2.02.169)
lvcreate supports a 'conversion' when caching LV.
This normally worked fine, however in case passed LV was
thin-pool's data LV with suffix _tdata we have failed to early.
As the easiest fix looks dropping validation of name when
caching type is select - such name check will happen later
once the VG is opened again and properly detect if the LV
with protected name already exists and can be converted,
or will be rejected as ambigiuous operation requiring user
to specify --type cache | --type cache-pool.
Replaced the confusing device error message "not found (or ignored by
filtering)" by either "not found" or "excluded by a filter".
(Later we should be able to say which filter.)
Left the the liblvm code paths alone.
vgmerge suffers from a similar problem to the one fixed in commit
8146548d25 ("vgsplit: Fix intermediate
metadata corruption.")
When merging, splitting or renaming VGs, use a new PV status flag
PV_MOVED_VG to mark the PVs that hold metadata with the old VG name and
use this to provide PV-level granularity instead of incorrectly assuming
all PVs in the VG are the same.
Changing the VG of a PV uses the same on-disk mechanism as vgrename.
This relies on recognising both the old and new VG names. Prior to this
patch the vgsplit code incorrectly provided the new VG name twice
instead of the old and new ones. This lead the low-level mechanism not
to recognise the device as already belonging to a VG and so paying no
attention to the location of its existing metadata, sometimes partly
overwriting it and then later trying to read the corrupt metadata and
issuing a checksum error.
When certain cmd def RULE's fail, the error messages can
sometimes be confusing. This expands the error messages
to help clarify why the rule failed, especially in cases
where options are used incorrectly.
In a shared VG, only allow pvmove with a named LV,
so that only PE's used by the LV will be moved.
The LV is then activated exclusively, ensuring that
the PE's being moved are not used from another host.
Previously, pvmove was mistakenly allowed on a full PV.
This won't work when LVs using that PV are active on
other hosts.
Enable handling of --poolmetadataspare so if user can prevent
creation of _pmspare volume during --repair operation (just
like during actual lvcreate or lvconvert) for pool volumes.
The following commands now pass the device list through a
--select|-S filter before processing:
suspend resume clear wipe_table remove deps status table
In a shared VG, lvconvert must be used to create thin pools
and cache pools, not the lvcreate variants of those commands.
Deny these cases early in lvcreate using the new command defs.
Denying these cases deeper in the code was missing some
cleanup of the partially completed command.
If the PV was originally created with a larger-than-default
metadata area the restored one wasn't and might not even be
large enough to hold the metadata!
Previously the cache remembered an existing bootloaderarea and
reinstated it (without even checking for overlap) when asked to
write out the PV. pvcreate could write out an incorrect layout.
Add the new concise format to dmsetup create, either as a single
command-line parameter or from stdin.

Avoid adding -g more then once for debug builds.
Avoid enabling DEBUG_MEM when we build multithreaded tools.
Link executables with -fPIE -pie and --export-dynamic LDFLAGS
Introduce PROGS_FLAGS to add option to pass flags for external libs.
Link lvm2 internally library only when really used.
Link DAEMON_LIBS with daemons.
Pass VALGRIND_CFLAGS internally
Set shell failure mode on couple places.
lvm2 warned about zeroing and too big chunksize (>=512KiB), but
only during lvconvert, so lvcreate was creating thin-pools
without any warning about possible slowness of thin provisioning
because of zeroing.
