Since we check for present DM devices - cache result for
futher use of checking presence of such device.
lvm2 uses cache result for label scan, but also when
it tries to activate or deactivate LV - however only simple
target 'striped' is reasonably supported.
Use disable_dm_devs to be able to control when lv_info()
get cache or uncached results.
TODO: support more type, however this is getting very complicated.
We used to reset 'settings' to their defaults after command is finished.
This however has a drawback we lose all the logging after this point.
So this patch disables this 'reset' to observe for side-effects.
lvm shell should be getting reset when next command is run -
so this might or might not have some 'hidden' effects.
ATM it looks like nothing really bad should happen - we just should be
able to get more logs - at least from normal commands.
Fixes commit "pvscan: match device arg to filter symlink"
which failed to account for the fact that filter entries
are not just path names but include "a" or "r", etc.
The device_hint name in the metadata was meant to prevent
autoactivation from md components, but the name checks were
more general and would catch unnecessary cases.
This fixes an issue related to the optimization in
"pvscan: only add device args to dev cache"
If the devices file is not used, and the lvm.conf filter
accepts devices via symlink names, then those devices won't
be accepted by pvscan for autoactivation. To resolve this,
recognize when the filter contains symlinks and disable the
optimization. When the optimization is disabled, a full
dev_cache_scan is performed, and symlinks are associated
with the device names passed to pvscan. filter-regex
will accept a device if symlinks to that device are accepted.
If the optimized label scan fails (using online files),
then clear the device state prior to falling back to the
standard label_scan. This avoids printing output about
unexpected state.
Consistently create the pvs_lookup file for VGs with
more than one PV. Previously the file create would be
skipped if all the PVs happened to already be online.
That led to unpredicatable results in an uncommon case
(when the last PV to come online is the only PV with
metadata.)
Copy another optimization from pvscan -aay to vgchange -aay.
When using the optimized label scan for only one VG, acquire the
VG lock prior to the scan. This allows vg_read to then skip the
repeated label scan that normally happens after locking the vg.
Include the device name in the /run/lvm/pvs_online/pvid files.
Commands using the pvid file can use the devname to more quickly
find the correct device, vs finding the device using the
major:minor number. If the devname in the pvid file is missing
or incorrect, fall back to using the devno.
For completeness and consistency, adjust the behavior
for some variations of:
vgchange -aay --autoactivation event [vgname]
The current standard use is with a VG name arg, and the
command is only called when all pvs_online files exist.
This is the optimal case, in which only pvs_online devs
are read. This remains the same.
Clean up behaviors for some other unexpected uses of the
command:
. With no VG name arg, the command activates any VGs
that are complete according to pvs_online. If no
pvs_online files exist, it does nothing.
. If a VG name is used but no PVs online files exist for
the VG, or the PVs online files are incomplete, then
consider there could be a problem with the pvs_online
files, and fall back to a full label scan prior to
attempting the activation.
Port another optimization from pvscan -aay to vgchange -aay:
"pvscan: only add device args to dev cache"
This optimization avoids doing a full dev_cache_scan, and
instead populates dev-cache with only the devices in the
VG being activated.
This involves shifting the use of pvs_online files from
the hints interface up to the higher level label_scan
interface. This specialized label_scan is structured
around creating a list of devices from the pvs_online
files. Previously, a list of all devices was created
first, and then reduced based on the pvs_online files.
The initial step of listing all devices was slow when
thousands of devices are present on the system.
This optimization extends the previous optimization that
used pvs_online files to limit the devices that were
actually scanned (i.e. reading to identify the device):
"vgchange -aay: optimize device scan using pvs_online files"
Port the old pvscan -aay scanning optimization to vgchange -aay.
The optimization uses pvs_online files created by pvscan --cache
to derive a list of devices to use when activating a VG. This
allows autoactivation of a VG to avoid scanning all devices, and
only scan the devices used by the VG itself. The optimization is
applied internally using the device hints interface.
The new option "--autoactivation event" is given to pvscan and
vgchange commands that are called by event activation. This
informs the command that it is being used for event activation,
so that it can apply checks and optimizations that are specific
to event activation. Those include:
- skipping the command if lvm.conf event_activation=0
- checking that a VG is complete before activating it
- using pvs_online files to limit device scanning
The information in /run/lvm/pvs_online/<pvid> files can
be used to build a list of devices for a given VG.
The pvscan -aay command has long used this information to
activate a VG while scanning only devices in that VG, which
is an important optimization for autoactivation.
This patch implements the same thing through the existing
device hints interface, so that the optimization can be
applied elsewhere. A future patch will take advantage of
this optimization in vgchange -aay, which is now used in
place of pvscan -aay for event activation.
Help bootstrapping existing shared vgs into the devices file.
Reading the vg in vgimportdevices would require locking to be
started, but vgchange lockstart won't see the vg if it's not
in the devices file. The lvmlockd locks are not protecting
vg modifications so skipping them here won't be a problem.
Resolve event_activation configure option just once.
Do not print debug_devs about 'bad' filtering, when
actually filter already printed reason for skipping
Do not trace more then once about backup being disabled.
No debug when unlinked file does not exists in pvscan.
Reporting non-PVs / "all devices" is only done by
pvs -a or pvdisplay -a, so avoid the work managing
a list of all devices in process_each_pv.
In the case when it's needed, use the results of
label_scan which already determines which devs
are not PVs.
Configure via lvm.conf log/journal or command line --journal.
Possible values:
"command" records command information.
"output" records default command output.
"debug" records full command debugging.
Multiple values can be set in lvm.conf as an array.
One value can be set in --journal which is added to
values set in lvm.conf

[--vgonline]
can be used with --checkcomplete, to enable use of a vg online
file. This results in only the first pvscan command to see
the complete VG to report 'VG complete', and others will report
'VG finished'. This allows the caller to easily run a single
activation of the VG.
[--udevoutput]
can be used with --cache --listvg --checkcomplete, to enable
an output mode that prints LVM_VG_NAME_COMPLETE='vgname' that
a udev rule can import, and prevents other output from the
command (other output causes udev to ignore the command.)
The list of complete LVs is meant to be passed to lvchange -aay,
or the complete VG used with vgchange -aay.
When --checkcomplete is used, lvm assumes that that the output
will be used to trigger event-based autoactivation, so the pvscan
does nothing if event_activation=0 and --checkcomplete is used.

With larger metadata, decoding 'localtime()' for hinting time creation
of every LV may cause excessive check of /etc/localtime file.
Set TZ to ":/etc/localtime" so glibc reads this file just once
instead of check everytime if there has anything changed.
It's basically irrelavant which value we assing to optarg,
since it's set by getopt() function, but Coverity tool
is incorrectly reporting possibly dereference of NULL.
Analyzer here was rather confused about possiblity of loosing previously
assigned device pointers - fixed by passing zero initialize memory
before first assign.
The cmd memory space is allocated by zalloc, and the registration
fails and is not released.
Although this code would be ever triggered just in the case
of some internal (likely compilation) bug.

It's not a good idea to change passed 'argv[]' and replace it with
pointers to local stack - although in this case we are not using
this argv[] after return from this function.
Compilation needs to generate 'C' locale sorted command file
definitions. To always enforce 'C' sorting rules user LC_ALL
instead of LANG, as LANG settings can be overuled by
other LC settings like LC_COLLATE and may result into miscompiled
lvm2 binary if locales ordering differs from 'C'.

pvid and vgid are sometimes a null-terminated string, and
other times a 'struct id', and the two types were often
cast between each other. When a struct id was cast to a char
pointer, the resulting string would not necessarily be null
terminated. Casting a null-terminated string id to a
struct id is fine, but is still avoided when possible.
A struct id is: int8_t uuid[ID_LEN]
A string id is: char pvid[ID_LEN + 1]
A convention is introduced to help distinguish them:
- variables and struct fields named "pvid" or "vgid"
should be null-terminated strings.
- variables and struct fields named "pv_id" or "vg_id"
should be struct id's.
- examples:
char pvid[ID_LEN + 1];
char vgid[ID_LEN + 1];
struct id pv_id;
struct id vg_id;
Function names also attempt to follow this convention.
Avoid casting between the two types as much as possible,
with limited exceptions when known to be safe and clearly
commented.
Avoid using variations of strcpy and strcmp, and instead
use memcpy/memcmp with ID_LEN (with similar limited
exceptions possible.)
When multiple lvchange refresh processes executed at the same time,
suspend/resume ioctl on the same dm, some of these commands will be failed
for dm aready change status, and ioctl will return EINVAL in _do_dm_ioctl function.

it will hold LCK_WRITE lock and avoid suspend/resume dm at the same time.

Fix memory leaks on error paths for allocated
path and backup_file name by converting allocation to
dm_pool_alloc and also change devicefile structure to contain
embeded path as last struct member - so we could allocate
only needed string size instead of PATH_MAX from pool.
TODO: still to be fixed 'mf' struct.
Recent commit 84bd394cf9
"writecache: use block size 4096 when no fs is found"
failed to account for the case where writecache is attached
to thin pool data. Checking fs block size on the thin pool
data LV is wrong, and checking the fs block on each thin LV
would be impractical, so default to 512 which cannot break
any existing file systems, and require the user to specify
4k when appropriate.
When splitting VG with thin/cache pool volume, handle pmspare during
such split and allocate new pmspare in new VG or extend existing pmspare
there and eventually drop pmspare in original VG if is no longer needed
there.
As pmspare is an invisible LV it's not getting automatically removed
since vgremove removes only visible LVs and it depending LVs.
If there was no other thin/cache pool volume, such pmspare stayed
undeleted and caused command failure.
So handle explicitelly such forgotten pmspare and remove it.
The lvm2-pvscan service runs pvscan --cache -aay <dev> for
device addition, and pvscan --cache <dev> on device removal.
For event_activation=0, the addition does nothing. Fix
device removal to also do nothing for event_activation=0.
Device removal was previously doing some work to process
the removal which slowed down stopping lvm2-pvscan services.
related to config settings:
obtain_device_info_from_udev (controls if lvm gets
a list of devices from readdir /dev or from libudev)
external_device_info_source (controls if lvm asks
libudev for device information)
. Make the obtain_device_list_from_udev setting
affect only the choice of readdir /dev vs libudev.
The setting no longer controls if udev is used for
device type checks.
. Change obtain_device_list_from_udev default to 0.
This helps avoid boot timeouts due to slow libudev
queries, avoids reported failures from
udev_enumerate_scan_devices, and avoids delays from
"device not initialized in udev database" errors.
Even without errors, for a system booting with 1024 PVs,
lvm2-pvscan times improve from about 100 sec to 15 sec,
and the pvscan command from about 64 sec to about 4 sec.
. For external_device_info_source="none", remove all
libudev device info queries, and use only lvm
native device info.
. For external_device_info_source="udev", first check
lvm native device info, then check libudev info.
. Remove sleep/retry loop when attempting libudev
queries for device info. udev info will simply
be skipped if it's not immediately available.
. Only set up a libdev connection if it will be used by
obtain_device_list_from_udev/external_device_info_source.
. For native multipath component detection, use
/etc/multipath/wwids. If a device has a wwid
matching an entry in the wwids file, then it's
considered a multipath component. This is
necessary to natively detect multipath
components when the mpath device is not set up.
expands commit d5a06f9a7d
"pvscan: skip indexing devices used by LVs"
The dev cache index is expensive and slow, so limit it
to commands that are used to observe the state of lvm.
The index is only used to print warnings about incorrect
device use by active LVs, e.g. if an LV is using a
multipath component device instead of the multipath
device. Commands that continue to use the index and
print the warnings:
fullreport, lvmdiskscan, vgs, lvs, pvs,
vgdisplay, lvdisplay, pvdisplay,
vgscan, lvscan, pvscan (excluding --cache)
A couple other commands were borrowing the DEV_USED_FOR_LV
flag to just check if a device was actively in use by LVs.
These are converted to the new dev_is_used_by_active_lv().
dev_cache_index_devs() is taking a large amount of time
when there are many PVs. The index keeps track of
devices that are currently in use by active LVs. This
info is used to print warnings for users in some limited
cases.
The checks/warnings that are enabled by the index are not
needed by pvscan --cache, so disable it in this case.
This may be expanded to other cases in future commits.
dev_cache_index_devs should also be improved in another
commit to avoid the extreme delays with many devices.
Add profilable configurable setting for vdo pool header size, that is
used as 'extra' empty space at the front and end of vdo-pool device
to avoid having a disk in the system the may have same data is real
vdo LV.
For some conversion cases however we may need to allow using '0' header size.
TODO: in this case we may eventually avoid adding 'linear' mapping layer
in future - but this requires further modification over lvm code base.
When adding a device to the devices file with --adddev, lvm
by default chooses the best device ID type for the new device.
The new --deviceidtype option allows the user to override the
built in preference. This is useful if there's a problem with
the default type, or if a secondary type is preferrable.
If the specified deviceidtype does not produce a device ID,
then lvm falls back to the preference it would otherwise use.
Previously there have been necessary explicit call of backup (often
either forgotten or over-used). With this patch the necessity to
store backup is remember at vg_commit and once the VG is unlocked,
the committed metadata are automatically store in backup file.
This may possibly alter some printed messages from command when the
backup is now taken later.
Instead of calling explicit archive with command processing logic,
move this step towards 1st. vg_write() call, which will automatically
store archive of committed metadata.
This slightly changes some error path where the error in archiving
was detected earlier in the command, while now some on going command
'actions' might have been, but will be simply scratched in case
of error (since even new metadata would not have been even written).
So general effect should be only some command message ordering.
Calling clear_hint_file() to invalidate hints would acquire
the hints flock before the global flock which could cause deadlock.
The lock order requires the global lock to be taken first.
pvchange was always invalidating hints, which was unnecessary;
only invalidate hints when changing a PV uuid. Because of the
lock ordering, take the global lock before clear_hint_file which
locks the hints file.
When the device is not a PV print
"No PV found on device ..."
instead of
"Failed to read lvm info for ... PVID ."
an earlier check had been added with a different
message for the same condition.
error reading dev and no pvid on dev were both
returning 0. make it easier for callers to
know which, if they care.
return 1 if the device could be read, regardless
of whether a pvid was found or not.
set has_pvid=1 if a pvid is found and 0 if no
pvid is found.
If a cmd def implies an LV type without --type
in the required options, then include the implied
type in the cmd def as AUTOTYPE: <type>
instead of including the redundant --type foo
in the OO list of options.
Including an implied --type in the OO list would
often cause multiple cmd defs to potentially be
identical when options were used, and a user
command could match more than one cmd def.
The AUTOTYPE values are listed in man page and
help output as
[ --type foo (implied) ]
If a user command includes --type, it will usually
match a cmd def with --type in the required options.
But, if the user command matches a cmd def with
AUTOTYPE, then the specifed --type and AUTOTYPE must
match.
The man-generator program has a new --check
option that compares cmd defs to find any cmd defs
that are equivalent with the use of options,
and should have their options adjusted.
Compares cmd defs based on two principles for avoiding repeated
commands (where a given command could match more than one cmd def):
. a cmd def should be a unique combination of required
option args and position args
. avoid adding optional options to a cmd def that if
used would make the command match a different cmd def
FIXME: record when repeated cmd defs are found so we can
avoid reporting them twice, e.g. once for A vs B and
second time for B vs A.
Use #DEFAULT_SYS_DIR# replaceable string for devicesfile
so the man pages installation respects configured settings.
Update some missing lvm.conf(5) references.
Add missing VG into description of thin pool creation command.
Remove one duplicated thin-pool creation command.
Remove options --discards and --errorwhenfull from the list when the command describes
only creation of a thin volume - as these options do apply for thin-pool.
Also use here more correct name OO_LVCONVERT_THINPOOL instead of OO_LVCONVERT_THIN.
Reorder extra options for cache & thin-pool before common pool options.
Order consistenly --stripes and --stripesize after --extents option
so the options related to pools are better together.
Remove invalid snapshot creation description - since this case is
handled through our configurable spare volume creation.
Add some missing optional --type parameters for few command instancies.
Emit .ad l / .ad b less frequently around larger blocks
we want to keep left aligned.
Avoid emittting empty lines.
Reduce .HP usage and replace it with .TP.
However keep .HP for all option listings, as i.e. html rendering
can't handle well combintion of .TP an .HP together and .TP alone
is not indenting 2nd. line of long option line.
(For .TP line we don't need to emit .br)
Surround .SH with dots for better look.
For some .TP use plain more readable .I for a line.
Support rendering of optional [Number] (for --units).
Use better markup for units and instead of long markup string,
show individual units with markup.
Enhance man typography decoration of optional option
prefixes like --[raid]writebeind and use regular font to render []
as these are not part of the option name itself.
Previously, accepted LV types were presented as a series of suffixes
after the "LV" on the command line. The addition of many new types
resulted in this becoming too long, e.g
lvconvert --type cache --cachepool LV LV_linear_striped_thinpool_vdo_vdopool_vdopooldata_raid
For man pages, move these types from the command line to a new line
dedicated to listing accepted LV types:
lvconvert --type cache --cachepool LV LV1
...
LV1 types: linear striped thinpool vdo vdopool vdopooldata raid
The special "LV1" is used as a reference to avoid confusion
with other LVs that may appear on the command line. There
are currently no commands with more than one typed LV, but
if there are cases with more, then "LV2" could also be used.
For command line usage/-h output, drop the LV types from the
command line specification. The more detailed is not needed
in the help output and can be found in the man page.
This reverts commit 8e7690b798.
Actully this was bad idea - to make it on pair.
-Zn for thin-pools is already used - so here user must have
create new pool and swap existing thin-pool metadata into.
So reverting this commit to avoid any possible regression.
It would be complicated to handle ',' alignment after hyphenation
changes ATM, but these commas seems to be there rather unneeded
so remove them and make the man output more clear.
Disable hyphenation around longer option lists (>42 chars)
and use \: to markup places for line splits.
The code ATM is somewhat mixtured so it's not easy to encapsulate
section .nh ... .hy.
ATM global _was_hyphen is used to properly finish sections after
disabled hyphenation.
The autoactivation property can be specified in lvcreate
or vgcreate for new LVs/VGs, and the property can be changed
by lvchange or vgchange for existing LVs/VGs.
--setautoactivation y|n
enables|disables autoactivation of a VG or LV.
Autoactivation is enabled by default, which is consistent with
past behavior. The disabled state is stored as a new flag
in the VG metadata, and the absence of the flag allows
autoactivation.
If autoactivation is disabled for the VG, then no LVs in the VG
will be autoactivated (the LV autoactivation property will have
no effect.) When autoactivation is enabled for the VG, then
autoactivation can be controlled on individual LVs.
The state of this property can be reported for LVs/VGs using
the "-o autoactivation" option in lvs/vgs commands, which will
report "enabled", or "" for the disabled state.
Previous versions of lvm do not recognize this property. Since
autoactivation is enabled by default, the disabled setting will
have no effect in older lvm versions. If the VG is modified by
older lvm versions, the disabled state will also be dropped from
the metadata.
The autoactivation property is an alternative to using the lvm.conf
auto_activation_volume_list, which is still applied to to VGs/LVs
in addition to the new property.
If VG or LV autoactivation is disabled either in metadata or in
auto_activation_volume_list, it will not be autoactivated.
An autoactivation command will silently skip activating an LV
when the autoactivation property is disabled.
To determine the effective autoactivation behavior for a specific
LV, multiple settings would need to be checked:
the VG autoactivation property, the LV autoactivation property,
the auto_activation_volume_list. The "activation skip" property
would also be relevant, since it applies to both normal and auto
activation.
Enhance handling of interruptions of polling process and lvmpoll daemon.
Daemon should now react much faster on interrups (i.e. shutdown
sequence) and avoid taking lenghty sleep waiting on pvmove signaling.
Since lvm does support external users of thin-pool when thin devices
are managed outside it can be useful to support conversion to
thin pool from data and metadata LV without zeroing.
TransactionID will be 0 in lvm2 metadata.
lvconvert -Zn --thinpool vg/data --poolmetadata vg/meta
Renables usage of --type zero and --type error LVs to serve as
backend for _tdata device. Clearly not very useful in practice,
as it can't store any real data, but usable for some testing
and some sort of perfomance checking.
lvcreate --type zero -L1T -n pool vg
lvconvert --thinpool vg/pool
Will create a thin-pool with zero device backend.
Enabled extension/mixing of stripes/linears, error and zero
segtype LVs with stripes/linear, error and zero segtypes.
It is not very useful in practice, as the user cannot store any real
data on error or zero segtypes, but it may get some uses in
some scenarios where i.e. some portion of the device should not be
readable. Mixing of types happens on 'extent_size' level:
lvcreate -L1 -n lv vg
lvextend --type error -L+1 vg/lv
lvextend --type zero -L+1 vg/lv
lvextend --type linear -L+1 vg/lv
lvextend --type striped -L+1 vg/lv
lvs -o+segtype,seg_size vg
Note: when the type is not specified, the last segment type is
automatically selected.
It's also a small 'can of worms' since we can't tell LVs if
the LV is linear/error/zero or their mixtures. So the meaning behind
them may need some updates.
We already have this types of LV created i.e by:
vgreduce --removemissing --force
where missing LV segments have been replaced by either
error or zero segtype (lvm.conf).
TODO: it might be worth adding a message while such device is activated.
When multiple polling tasks are watching for same LV, clearly
when some of them wins the game - other polling tasks will fail.
Improve the logic and report success if the merged LV is
actually not a merging origin anymore (since likely someone
else has already finished merging).
Although we support '0' interval - it's highly inefficent to
do so many scans in busy-loop.
So ATM raise minimal rescan time to 100ms.
TODO: revisit whole timing logic here as it does have some sideeffect
hiddent impact and can considerably eat CPU in some cases.
There is really no practical reason to continue running
when we fail on allocation.
It seems we may need further fine frained errors, as for
some error type we simply need to exit ASAP, while
others may still produce usable results.
When generating list of processed LV, add thin-pool to the head of the
list, while other LVs are added on tail.
This makes it easier when removing many thin volumes, to recognize easily
when its thin-pool is also supposed to be removed.
The correct test needs to actually check 'lv->snapshot' is not NULL,
so the 'find_snapshot()' can work.
Test lv_is_snapshot was actually irrelavant for this case.
Also initialize device_id.
This patch postpones update of lvm metadata for each removed
LV for later moment depending on LV type.
It also queues messages to be printed after such write & commit.
As such there is some change in the behavior - although before
prompt we do make write&commit happens automatically in some
other error case we rather keep 'existing' state - so there
could be difference in amount of removed & commited LVs.
IMHO introduce logic is slightly better and more save.
But some cases still need the early commit - i.e. thin-removal
and fixing this needs some more thinking.
TODO: improve removal at least with the case of the whole thin-pool.
i.e. we can simply recognize removal of 'all LVs/whole VG'.
Taking backup with each removed LV is slowing down the process
considerable and is largerly uneeded. We are supposed to take
backup only on significant points and making sure the backup
is correct when the command is finished.
TODO: check how many other commands can be improved.
The LVM devices file lists devices that lvm can use. The default
file is /etc/lvm/devices/system.devices, and the lvmdevices(8)
command is used to add or remove device entries. If the file
does not exist, or if lvm.conf includes use_devicesfile=0, then
lvm will not use a devices file. When the devices file is in use,
the regex filter is not used, and the filter settings in lvm.conf
or on the command line are ignored.
LVM records devices in the devices file using hardware-specific
IDs, such as the WWID, and attempts to use subsystem-specific
IDs for virtual device types. These device IDs are also written
in the VG metadata. When no hardware or virtual ID is available,
lvm falls back using the unstable device name as the device ID.
When devnames are used, lvm performs extra scanning to find
devices if their devname changes, e.g. after reboot.
When proper device IDs are used, an lvm command will not look
at devices outside the devices file, but when devnames are used
as a fallback, lvm will scan devices outside the devices file
to locate PVs on renamed devices. A config setting
search_for_devnames can be used to control the scanning for
renamed devname entries.
Related to the devices file, the new command option
--devices <devnames> allows a list of devices to be specified for
the command to use, overriding the devices file. The listed
devices act as a sort of devices file in terms of limiting which
devices lvm will see and use. Devices that are not listed will
appear to be missing to the lvm command.
Multiple devices files can be kept in /etc/lvm/devices, which
allows lvm to be used with different sets of devices, e.g.
system devices do not need to be exposed to a specific application,
and the application can use lvm on its own set of devices that are
not exposed to the system. The option --devicesfile <filename> is
used to select the devices file to use with the command. Without
the option set, the default system devices file is used.
Setting --devicesfile "" causes lvm to not use a devices file.
An existing, empty devices file means lvm will see no devices.
The new command vgimportdevices adds PVs from a VG to the devices
file and updates the VG metadata to include the device IDs.
vgimportdevices -a will import all VGs into the system devices file.
LVM commands run by dmeventd not use a devices file by default,
and will look at all devices on the system. A devices file can
be created for dmeventd (/etc/lvm/devices/dmeventd.devices) If
this file exists, lvm commands run by dmeventd will use it.
Internal implementaion:
- device_ids_read - read the devices file
. add struct dev_use (du) to cmd->use_devices for each devices file entry
- dev_cache_scan - get /dev entries
. add struct device (dev) to dev_cache for each device on the system
- device_ids_match - match devices file entries to /dev entries
. match each du on cmd->use_devices to a dev in dev_cache, using device ID
. on match, set du->dev, dev->id, dev->flags MATCHED_USE_ID
- label_scan - read lvm headers and metadata from devices
. filters are applied, those that do not need data from the device
. filter-deviceid skips devs without MATCHED_USE_ID, i.e.
skips /dev entries that are not listed in the devices file
. read lvm label from dev
. filters are applied, those that use data from the device
. read lvm metadata from dev
. add info/vginfo structs for PVs/VGs (info is "lvmcache")
- device_ids_find_renamed_devs - handle devices with unstable devname ID
where devname changed
. this step only needed when devs do not have proper device IDs,
and their dev names change, e.g. after reboot sdb becomes sdc.
. detect incorrect match because PVID in the devices file entry
does not match the PVID found when the device was read above
. undo incorrect match between du and dev above
. search system devices for new location of PVID
. update devices file with new devnames for PVIDs on renamed devices
. label_scan the renamed devs
- continue with command processing
User use 'lvconvert -Zn --type vdo-pool' to convert an existing
vdo formated volume and skip lvm2 internal formating.
This however requires user is passing proper matching parameters.
For them user can use --profile|--metadataprofile option whos
support has been also enhanced.
TODO: add support to read values directly from formated volume.
When converting an existing LV to thin-pool,
user may now pass also '--errorwhenfull' option
like with 'lvcreate'.
Also recalculate chunksize when performace profile is
used with conversion (again matching lvcreate).
Adds missing flagging for uncropped metadata sizes.
In past we had this control with use_lvmetad check for
pvscan --cache -aay
Howerer this got lost with lvmetad removal commit:
117160b27e
When user sets lvm.conf global/event_activation=0
pvscan service will no longer auto activate any LVs on appeared PVs.
Move extra md component detection into the label scan phase.
It had been in set_pv_devices which was deep within the vg_read
phase, which wasn't a good place (better to detect that earlier.)
Now that pv metadata info is available in the scan phase, the pv
details (size and device_hint) can be used for extra md checking.
Use the device_hint from the pv metadata to trigger a full md
component check if the device_hint begins with /dev/md.
Stop triggering full md component checks based on missing
udev info for a dev.
Changes to tests to reflect that the code is now detecting
md components in some test case that it wasn't before.
A cachevol can be forcibly detached when it's missing devices.
Also allow this if it's damaged/invalid and unrepairable.
This would be needed to recover data from the origin LV after
a cachevol is lost or damaged beyond repair.
In cases where lvconvert does not detect a fs block size on the
device, it falls back to choosing a writecache block size based
on the device's LBS and PBS (tries to match those.)
If the user specifies a writecache block size on the command
line (--cachesettings block_size=4096|512), lvconvert currently
fails and reports an error if the user-specified value does not
match the value lvconvert would have chosen based on LBS and PBS.
The purpose of allowing a user-specified value on the command line
is to override what lvconvert would otherwise do, so change this
to just print a warning that the user value does not match the
value that would be chosen based on the LBS/PBS, and then take
the user-specified value as the writecache block size.
Use update_pool_metadata_min_max() which is shared with
thin-pool metadata min-max updating.
Gives improved messages when converting volumes to metadata.
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.
When detaching writecache, make the first stage send a message
to dm-writecache to set the cleaner option. This is instead of
reloading the dm table with the cleaner option set. Reloading
the table causes udev to process/probe the dm dev, which gets
stalled because of the writeback activity, and the stalled udev
in turn stalls the lvconvert command when it tries to sync with
udev events.
When getting writecache status we do not need to get
open_count or read_head info, which can cause extra steps.
Read buffersize - 1 so the last byte is always 0.
Simplify init of 0 buffers.
Check snprintf result for error and report internal error as it could
happen only via bad compile parameters.
Fix the two-step writecache detach in commit c32d7fed4f.
In the case of uncache, the cachevol is removed after
detaching the writecache. When the detach is finished
in the second step, the remove must wait until then.
filters needing io weren't being run because bcache
wasn't set up. Read the first 4k of the device
before doing filtering or reading ondisk structs to
reduce reads.
It's possible for a machine with a non-4k page size
to create a PV with an mda_header at an offset other
than 4k. Fix pvck --dump to work with these other
mda offsets. pvck --repair will write a new first
mda at 4096 but lvm with other page sizes will work
with this.
The args for pvcreate/pvremove (and vgcreate/vgextend
when applicable) were not efficiently opened, scanned,
and filtered. This change reorganizes the opening
and filtering in the following steps:
- label scan and filter all devs
. open ro
. standard label scan at the start of command
- label scan and filter dev args
. open ro
. uses full md component check
. typically the first scan and filter of pvcreate devs
- close and reopen dev args
. open rw and excl
- repeat label scan and filter dev args
. using reopened rw excl fd
- wipe and write new headers
. using reopened rw excl fd

Resolves RHBZ 1496255.
Restructure the pvscan code, and add new temporary files
that list pvids in a VG, used for processing PVs that
have no metadata.
The new temp files, in /run/lvm/pvs_lookup/<vgname>, allow a
proper pvscan --cache to be done on PVs that have no metadata.
pvscan --cache <dev> is only supposed to read <dev>, but when
<dev> has no metadata, this had not been possible. The
command had to fall back to scanning all devices to read all
VG metadata to get the list of all PVIDs needed to check for
a complete VG. Now, the temp file can be used in place of
reading metadata from all PVs on the system.
cmd context has 'threaded' value that used be set
by clvmd - and allowed proper memory locking management.
Reuse same bit for dmeventd.
Since dmeventd is using 300KiB stack per thread,
we will ignore any user settings for allocation/reserved_stack
until some better solution is find.
This avoids crashing of dmevend when user changes this value
and because in most cases lvm2 should work ok with 64K stack
size, this change should not cause any problems.
When detaching a writecache, use the cleaner setting
by default to writeback data prior to suspending the
lv to detach the writecache. This avoids potentially
blocking for a long period with the device suspended.
Detaching a writecache first sets the cleaner option, waits
for a short period of time (less than a second), and checks
if the writecache has quickly become clean. If so, the
writecache is detached immediately. This optimizes the case
where little writeback is needed.
If the writecache does not quickly become clean, then the
detach command leaves the writecache attached with the
cleaner option set. This leaves the LV in the same state
as if the user had set the cleaner option directly with
lvchange --cachesettings cleaner=1 LV.
After leaving the LV with the cleaner option set, the
detach command will wait and watch the writeback progress,
and will finally detach the writecache when the writeback
is finished. The detach command does not need to wait
during the writeback phase, and can be canceled, in which
case the LV will remain with the writecache attached and
the cleaner option set. When the user runs the detach
command again it will complete the detach.
To detach a writecache directly, without using the cleaner
step (which has been the approach previously), add the
option --cachesettings cleaner=0 to the detach command.
Reorganize checking the device args for pvcreate/pvremove
to prepare for future changes. There should be no change
in behavior. Stop the inverted use of process_each_pv,
which pulled in a lot of unnecessary processing, and call
the check functions on each device directly.
LVM2 is distributed under GPLv2 only. The readline library changed its
license long ago to GPLv3. Given that those licenses are incompatible
and you follow the FSF in their interpretation that dynamically linking
creates a derivative work, distributing LVM2 linked against a current
readline version might be legally problematic.
Add support for the BSD licensed editline library as an alternative for
readline.

There's a bug when lvpoll attempts to write new hints,
related to the fact that lvpoll does not follow the same
scanning process as standard commands.
Fix by disabling the use of hints in lvpoll. We may want
to renable hints in lvpoll in a way that they can be used,
if valid, but not updated if they don't exist or are invalid.
Add a "device index" (di) for each device, and use this
in the bcache api to the rest of lvm. This replaces the
file descriptor (fd) in the api. The rest of lvm uses
new functions bcache_set_fd(), bcache_clear_fd(), and
bcache_change_fd() to control which fd bcache uses for
io to a particular device.
. lvm opens a dev and gets and fd.
fd = open(dev);
. lvm passes fd to the bcache layer and gets a di
to use in the bcache api for the dev.
di = bcache_set_fd(fd);
. lvm uses bcache functions, passing di for the dev.
bcache_write_bytes(di, ...), etc.
. bcache translates di to fd to do io.
. lvm closes the device and clears the di/fd bcache state.
close(fd);
bcache_clear_fd(di);
In the bcache layer, a di-to-fd translation table
(int *_fd_table) is added. When bcache needs to
perform io on a di, it uses _fd_table[di].
In the following commit, lvm will make use of the new
bcache_change_fd() function to change the fd that
bcache uses for the dev, without dropping cached blocks.
