The RAID plug-in for dmeventd now calls 'lvconvert --repair' to address failures
of devices in a RAID logical volume. The action taken can be either to "warn"
or "allocate" a new device from any spares that may be available in the
volume group. The action is designated by setting 'raid_fault_policy' in
lvm.conf - the default being "warn".
Also, don't allow a splitmirror operation on a RAID LV that is already tracking
a split, unless the operation is to stop the tracking and complete the split.
Example:
~> lvconvert --splitmirrors 1 --trackchanges vg/lv /dev/sdc1
# Now tracking changes - image can be merged back or split-off for good
~> lvconvert --splitmirrors 1 -n new_name vg/lv /dev/sdc1
# ^ Completes split ^
If a split is performed on a RAID that is tracking an already split image and
PVs are provided, we must ensure that
1) the already split LV is represented in the PVs
2) we are careful to split only the tracked image
RAID is not like traditional LVM mirroring. LVM mirroring required failed
devices to be removed or the logical volume would simply hang. RAID arrays can
keep on running with failed devices. In fact, for RAID types other than RAID1,
removing a device would mean substituting an error target or converting to a
lower level RAID (e.g. RAID6 -> RAID5, or RAID4/5 to RAID0). Therefore, rather
than removing a failed device unconditionally and potentially allocating a
replacement, RAID allows the user to "replace" a device with a new one. This
approach is a 1-step solution vs the current 2-step solution.
example> lvconvert --replace <dev_to_remove> vg/lv [possible_replacement_PVs]
'--replace' can be specified more than once.
example> lvconvert --replace /dev/sdb1 --replace /dev/sdc1 vg/lv
LVM metadata knows only of striped segments - not linear ones.
The activation code detects segments with a single stripe and switches
them to use the linear target.
If the new lvm.conf setting is set to 0 (e.g. in a test script), this
'optimisation' is turned off.
Simplify /api makefile and use SUBDIRS target for test dir.
Properly cleanup Makefiles with distclean in /test.
Use symbolic links for shell scripts for non-srcdir compilation.
Remove FIXMES - there should not be any pool free call since
the memory pool is from device manager, and pool is detroyed
after the operation, so doing extra free here would not help here.
However lv_has_target_type() is using cmd mempool so here the extra
call for dm_pool_free makes sence.
Use static buffer instead of stack allocated buffer.
This reduces stack size usage of lvm tool and the
change is very simple.
Since the whole library is not thread safe - it should not
add any new problems - and if there will be some conversion
it's easy to convert this to use some preallocated buffer.
For write we do not need to hold memory locked.
This relaxes many conditions and avoid problems when allocating
a lot of memory for writting metadata buffers.
(In case of huge MDA size this would lead to mismatch between
locked and unlocked memory region size).
Add also internal check we are not writing in critical section.
Removal of an inactive origin removes also all related snapshots.
When we now support 'old' external snapshots with thin volumes,
removal of pool will not only drop all thin volumes, but as
a consequence also all snapshots - which might be seen a bit
unexpected for the user - so add a query to confirm such action.
lvremove -f will skip the prompt.
Update region_size only for mirror and raid targets.
This fixes warning messages when vg is using small
extent size like 1KiB and no mirror/raid is created,
but the user still got the message:
$> vgcreate -s 1K vg <pvs>
$> lvcreate -L10K vg
Using reduced mirror region size of 4 sectors
When a PV label write is deferred to a vg_write call (as introduced by a patch
in 2.02.86), the PV is flagged with the internal UNLABELLED_PV flag. However,
when calling vg_archive before vg_write, we still have the PV labelled with the
UNLABELLED_PV flag which was not recognised as a proper flag while exporting
VG metadata:
# vgcreate vg /dev/sda
No physical volume label read from /dev/sda
Metadata inconsistency: Not all flags successfully exported.
Metadata inconsistency: Not all flags successfully exported.
Writing physical volume data to disk "/dev/sda"
Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
Volume group "vg" successfully created
udev may also need to be disabled if you didn't build it statically too.
dmeventd.static could be fixed with some more work but I don't really see the
point: without dlopen() it's useless, and if you have dlopen(), why not support
normal shared libraries too?
Add filter which tries to check if scanned device is part
of active multipath.
Firstly, only SCSI major number devices are handled in filter.
Then it checks if device has exactly one holder (in sysfs) and
if it is device-mapper device and DM-UUID is prefixed by "MPATH-".
If so, this device is filtered out.
The whole filter can be switched off by setting
mpath_component_detection in lvm.conf.

Before adding a new virtual segment to LV, check first whether
the last segment isn't already of the same type. In this case
extend last segment instead of creating the new one.
Thin volumes should have always only 1 virtual segment, but it
helps also to virtual snapshot or error segtype..
Git commit ID 0864378250 was meant to disallow
'mirrored' logs for cluster mirrors. However, when add_mirror_log is used
to create the log (as is now the case when using 'lvcreate' or converting only
the log) the check is bypassed.
This patch adds the check to add_mirror_log.
pvck prints 'extra' character from the label since there is no '\0'
after the struct label entry and just uint64_t follows directly.
So avoid it by limiting 8 chars to be printed.

This function could be useful for other _manip source files.
Use dm_list manipulation function for provided functionality,
which make the code more readable and avoid touching list
internal details here.
This was the intended behaviour, as described in the lvchange man page, so you
have complete control through volume_list in lvm.conf, but the code seems to
have been treating -ae as local-only for a very long time.
Split syntax for thin-pool since it cannot be fully matched with snapshot.
So to avoid more confusion - take thin support into separate line.
Though still significant updates are needed for thin provisioning.
Version 2 of the userspace log protocol accepts return information during the
DM_ULOG_CTR exchange. The return information contains the name of the log
device that is being used (if there is one). The kernel can then register the
device via 'dm_get_device'. Amoung other things, this allows for userspace to
assemble a correct dependency tree of devices - critical for LVM handling of
suspend/resume calls.
Also, update dm-log-userspace.h to match the kernel header associated with
this protocol change. (Includes a version inc.)
When verify_udev_operations was disable, code for stacking fs operation for
lvm links was completely disable - but this code was also used for collecting
information, that a new node is being created.
Add a new flag which is set when a creation of lv symlinks is requested which
should restore old behaviour of lv_info function, that has called fs_sync()
before quere for open count on device.
Barrier is supposed to be used in situation like this
and replace tricky mutex usage, where mutex has been unlocked
by a different thread than the locking thread.
Properly detect if the filters were refreshed properly.
(May needs few more fixes ??)
Filter refresh may fail because it may be out of free file descriptors
when clvmd gets overloaded.
Replace usleep with pthread condition to increase speed testing
(for simplicity just 1 condition for all locks).
Use thread mutex also for unlock resource (so it wakes up awaiting
threads)
Better check some error states and return error in fail case with
unlocked mutex.
Using log_warn to report missing symlinks as warning, since the command
itself returns as successful, we should not produce log_error().
log_warn is better fit here.
Example:
~> lvconvert --type raid1 vg/mirror_lv
Steps to convert "mirror" to "raid1"
1) Allocate a RAID metadata LV for each mirror image from the same PVs
on which they are located.
2) Clear the metadata LVs. This involves writing LVM metadata, so we don't
change any aspects of the mirror LV before this so that the user can easily
remove LVs from the failed convert attempt while retaining the original
mirror.
3) Remove the mirror log, if it exists.
4) Add metadata LVs to mirror LV
5) Rename mirror sub-lvs (s/mimage/rimage/)
6) Change flags and segtype from mirror to raid1
Example:
~> lvconvert --type raid1 -m 1 vg/lv
The following steps are performed to convert linear to RAID1:
1) Allocate a metadata device from the same PV as the linear device
to provide the metadata/data LV pair required for all RAID components.
2) Allocate the required number of metadata/data LV pairs for the
remaining additional images.
3) Clear the metadata LVs. This performs a LVM metadata update.
4) Create the top-level RAID LV and add the component devices.
We want to make any failure easy to unwind. This is why we don't create the
top-level LV and add the components until the last step. Should anything
happen before that, the user could simply remove the unnecessary images. Also,
we want to ensure that the metadata LVs are cleared before forming the array to
prevent stale information from polluting the new array.
A new macro 'seg_is_linear' was added to allow us to distinguish linear LVs
from striped LVs.
This patch allows a mirror to be extended without an initial resync of the
extended portion. It compliments the existing '--nosync' option to lvcreate.
This action can be done implicitly if the mirror was created with the '--nosync'
option, or explicitly if the '--nosync' option is used when extending the device.
Here are the operational criteria:
1) A mirror created with '--nosync' should extend with 'nosync' implicitly
[EXAMPLE]# lvs vg; lvextend -L +5G vg/lv ; lvs vg
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert
lv vg Mwi-a-m- 5.00g lv_mlog 100.00
Extending 2 mirror images.
Extending logical volume lv to 10.00 GiB
Logical volume lv successfully resized
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert
lv vg Mwi-a-m- 10.00g lv_mlog 100.00
2) The 'M' attribute ('M' signifies a mirror created with '--nosync', while 'm'
signifies a mirror created w/o '--nosync') must be preserved when extending a
mirror created with '--nosync'. See #1 for example of 'M' attribute.
3) A mirror created without '--nosync' should extend with 'nosync' only when
'--nosync' is explicitly used when extending.
[EXAMPLE]# lvs vg; lvextend -L +5G vg/lv; lvs vg
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert
lv vg mwi-a-m- 20.00m lv_mlog 100.00
Extending 2 mirror images.
Extending logical volume lv to 5.02 GiB
Logical volume lv successfully resized
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert
lv vg mwi-a-m- 5.02g lv_mlog 0.39
vs.
[EXAMPLE]# lvs vg; lvextend -L +5G vg/lv --nosync; lvs vg
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert
lv vg mwi-a-m- 20.00m lv_mlog 100.00
Extending 2 mirror images.
Extending logical volume lv to 5.02 GiB
Logical volume lv successfully resized
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert
lv vg Mwi-a-m- 5.02g lv_mlog 100.00
4) The 'm' attribute must change to 'M' when extending a mirror created without
'--nosync' is extended with the '--nosync' option. (See #3 examples above.)
5) An inactive mirror's sync percent cannot be determined definitively, so it
must not be allowed to skip resync. Instead, the extend should ask the user if
they want to extend while performing a resync.
[EXAMPLE]# lvchange -an vg/lv
[EXAMPLE]# lvextend -L +5G vg/lv
Extending 2 mirror images.
Extending logical volume lv to 10.00 GiB
vg/lv is not active. Unable to get sync percent.
Do full resync of extended portion of vg/lv? [y/n]: y
Logical volume lv successfully resized
6) A mirror that is performing recovery (as opposed to an initial sync) - like
after a failure - is not allowed to extend with either an implicit or
explicit nosync option. [You can simulate this with a 'corelog' mirror because
when it is reactivated, it must be recovered every time.]
[EXAMPLE]# lvcreate -m1 -L 5G -n lv vg --nosync --corelog
WARNING: New mirror won't be synchronised. Don't read what you didn't write!
Logical volume "lv" created
[EXAMPLE]# lvs vg
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert
lv vg Mwi-a-m- 5.00g 100.00
[EXAMPLE]# lvchange -an vg/lv; lvchange -ay vg/lv; lvs vg
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert
lv vg Mwi-a-m- 5.00g 0.08
[EXAMPLE]# lvextend -L +5G vg/lv
Extending 2 mirror images.
Extending logical volume lv to 10.00 GiB
vg/lv cannot be extended while it is recovering.
7) If 'no' is selected in #5 or if the condition in #6 is hit, it should not
result in the mirror being resized or the 'm/M' attribute being changed.
NOTE: A mirror created with '--nosync' behaves differently than one created
without it when performing an extension. The former cannot be extended when
the mirror is recovering (unless in-active), while the latter can. This is
a reasonable thing to do since recovery of a mirror doesn't take long (at
least in the case of an on-disk log) and it would cause far more time in
degraded mode if the extension w/o '--nosync' was allowed. It might be
reasonable to add the ability to force the operation in the future. This
should /not/ force a nosync extension, but rather force a sync'ed extension.
IOW, the user would be saying, "Yes, yes... I know recovery won't take long
and that I'll be adding significantly to the time spent in degraded mode, but
I need the extra space right now!".
This patch also does some clean-up of the splitmirrors code.
I've attempted to clean-up the splitmirrors code to make it easier to
understand with fewer operations. I've tried to reduce the number of
metadata operations without compromising the intermediate stages which
are necessary for easy clean-up in the even of failure.
These changes now correctly handle cluster situations - including exclusive
cluster mirrors. Whereas before, a splitmirror operation would result in
remote nodes having LVM commands report the newly split LV with a proper
name while DM commands would report the old (pre-split) names of the device.
IOW, there was a kernel/userspace mismatch.
The original commit comments can be located via this git commit ID:
7d8e615c0b
There were three possible solutions to the original problem proposed in the
initial check-in. The one chosen was as follows:
2) Do like _remove_mirror_images does and suspend the original, then suspend
the sub-lv (the error target), then resume the sub-lv, and finally resume the
original LV. This seems like extra pointless operations to me, but it doesn't
produce the error message (although, I'm not sure why) and it allows us to
leave the visible flag in place.
Turns out, the cluster also views the extra suspend/resume operations as
pointless too and ignores them. So, this solution doesn't work in a cluster.
Further, I've noticed that in addition to the remote cluster nodes still getting
I/O errors from scanning the error target, they also have a different LVM and
DM views of the same LV. IOW, while the LVM level (gotten from the LVM metadata)
sees the correct name for the newly split LV, device-mapper still maintains the
old names.
Because the original fix failed to completely fix the problem (or work-around it)
and because a better solution must be found to address the additional cluster
issue of device renaming, I am reverting the above mentioned commit.
The current code does not always assign proper udev flags to sub-LVs (e.g.
mirror images and log LVs). This shows up especially during a splitmirror
operation in which an image is split off from a mirror to form a new LV.
A mirror with a disk log is actually composed of 4 different LVs: the 2
mirror images, the log, and the top-level LV that "glues" them all together.
When a 2-way mirror is split into two linear LVs, two of those LVs must be
removed. The segments of the image which is not split off to form the new
LV are transferred to the top-level LV. This is done so that the original
LV can maintain its major/minor, UUID, and name. The sub-lv from which the
segments were transferred gets an error segment as a transitory process
before it is eventually removed. (Note that if the error target was not put
in place, a resume_lv would result in two LVs pointing to the same segment!
If the machine crashes before the eventual removal of the sub-LV, the result
would be a residual LV with the same mapping as the original (now linear) LV.)
So, the two LVs that need to be removed are now the log device and the sub-LV
with the error segment. If udev_flags are not properly set, a resume will
cause the error LV to come up and be scanned by udev. This causes I/O errors.
Additionally, when udev scans sub-LVs (or former sub-LVs), it can cause races
when we are trying to remove those LVs. This is especially bad during failure
conditions.
When the mirror is suspended, the top-level along with its sub-LVs are
suspended. The changes (now 2 linear devices and the yet-to-be-removed log
and error LV) are committed. When the resume takes place on the original
LV, there are no longer links to the other sub-lvs through the LVM metadata.
The links are implicitly handled by querying the kernel for a list of
dependencies. This is done in the '_add_dev' function (which is recursively
called for each dependency found) - called through the following chain:
_add_dev
dm_tree_add_dev_with_udev_flags
<*** DM / LVM divide ***>
_add_dev_to_dtree
_add_lv_to_dtree
_create_partial_dtree
_tree_action
dev_manager_activate
_lv_activate_lv
_lv_resume
lv_resume_if_active
When udev flags are calculated by '_get_udev_flags', it is done by referencing
the 'logical_volume' structure. Those flags are then passed down into
'dm_tree_add_dev_with_udev_flags', which in turn passes them to '_add_dev'.
Unfortunately, when '_add_dev' is finding the dependencies, it has no way to
calculate their proper udev_flags. This is because it is below the DM/LVM
divide - it doesn't have access to the logical_volume structure. In fact,
'_add_dev' simply reuses the udev_flags given for the initial device! This
virtually guarentees the udev_flags are wrong for all the dependencies unless
they are reset by some other mechanism. The current code provides no such
mechanism. Even if '_add_new_lv_to_dtree' were called on the sub-devices -
which it isn't - entries already in the tree are simply passed over, failing
to reset any udev_flags. The solution must retain its implicit nature of
discovering dependencies and be able to go back over the dependencies found
to properly set the udev_flags.
My solution simply calls a new function before leaving '_add_new_lv_to_dtree'
that iterates over the dtree nodes to properly reset the udev_flags of any
children. It is important that this function occur after the '_add_dev' has
done its job of querying the kernel for a list of dependencies. It is this
list of children that we use to look up their respective LVs and properly
calculate the udev_flags.
This solution has worked for single machine, cluster, and cluster w/ exclusive
activation.

Since execve passed only NULL as environ, we had lost all environment vars on
restart - thus actually running 'different' clvmd then the one at start.
Preserving environ allows to restart clvmd with the same settings
(i.e. LD_LIBRARY_PATH)
Add test for second restart.
Add named cluster_ops to easily learn the name of the active cluster manager,
so we are able to restart singlenode manager in testing.
Add simple test for clvmd -S (restart) and -R (refresh)
(though it needs some extensions).
Read 2 environmental vars to learn about overide position for
CLVMD and LVM binaries.
We support LVM_BINARY in other script - and this way we could easily
test restart in our test-suite.
Bugfix:
Add (most probably unfinished) support for -E arg with list of exclusive
locks. (During clvmd restart all exclusive locks would have been lost and
in fact, if there would have been an exclusive lock, usage text would be
printed and clvmd exits.)
Instead of parsing list options multiple times every time some lock UUID is
checked - put them straight into the hash table - make the code easier to
understand as well.
Remove was_ex_lock() function (replaced with dm_hash_lookup()).
Swap return value for get_initial_state() (1 means success).
Update man pages and usage info for -E option.
Before, we used to display "Can't remove open logical volume" which was
generic. There 3 possibilities of how a device could be opened:
- used by another device
- having a filesystem on that device which is mounted
- opened directly by an application
With the help of sysfs info, we can distinguish the first two situations.
The third one will be subject to "remove retry" logic - if it's opened
quickly (e.g. a parallel scan from within a udev rule run), this will
finish quickly and we can remove it once it has finished. If it's a
legitimate application that keeps the device opened, we'll do our best
to remove the device, but we will fail finally after a few retries.
If you specify the segment type (e.g. --type mirror) and the mirrors argument
as zero, it would result in a mirrored LV with only one image. While the device
may be valid in theory, it should not be allowed in practice. It also makes it
difficult on the conversion tools, since they react badly to single-image
mirrors.
Patch fixes Clang warnings about possible access via lv_name NULL pointer.
Replaces allocation of memory (strdup) with just pointer assignment
(since execve is being called anyway).
Checks for !*lv_name only when lv_name is defined.
(and as I'm not quite sure what state this really is - putting a FIXME
around - as this rather looks suspicios ??).
Add debug print of passed clvmd args.
(since data in statbuf are invalid).
Check whether sysconf managed to find _SC_PAGESIZE.
Report at least debug warning about failing unlink
(logging scheme here seems to be a different then in lvm).
Duplicate terminal FDs and use similar code as is made in clvmd
and cleanup warns about missing open/close tests.
FIXME: Looks like we already have 3 instancies of the same code in lvm repo.
When fsadm is test - it needs to execute lvm and fsadm from non-standard path
setting. So adding a support in fsadm script when user set LVM_BINARY, then
the lvm command invoced from fsadm will have the same PATH setting as before
entering fsadm command.
Needed for testing.
In case someone would use filename paths with spaces when changing
this script surround commands with '"'.
With default settings there is no change in behavior.
LVM has huge set of options now - it's approaching 60 short-arg less options
and we get interesting case of misdetection for 'merge' option which has been
put into the middle of options with 'short_arg' - thus certainly past 65. (ASCII 'A').
To avoid confusion of short_arg with long_opt number - add '128' to all such
non-short-arg options.
Revert John patch, which fixed only 1 place where ~LVM_WRITE was in use and
convert ommited LVM_READ/WRITE flags to 64bit constants as well.
(Since both 'status' flags for LV and VG are 64bit.)
lv_mirror_count was not able to handle mirrors of stripes properly. When a
failed device is removed, the MIRRORED status flag is removed from the LV
conditionally based on the results of lv_mirror_count. However, lv_mirror_count
trusted the MIRRORED flag - thinking any such LV must be mirrored. It would
happily assign first_seg(lv)->area_count as the number of mirrors, but when
a mirrored striped LV was reduced to a simple striped LV area_count would be
the number of /stripes/ not the number of /mirrors/. A result higher than 1
would be returned from lv_mirror_count, the MIRRORED flag would not be cleared,
and the LV would fail to be up-converted properly in lvconvert_mirrors_aux
because of it.
