This fixes a long standing regression since LVM2 2.02.74 (commit 4efb1d9c,
"Update heuristic used for default and detected data alignment.")
The default PE alignment could be used (via MAX()) even if it was
determined that the device's MD stripe width, or minimal_io_size or
optimal_io_size were not factors of the default PE alignment (either 64K
or the newer default of 1MB, etc). This bug would manifest if the
default PE alignment was larger than the overriding hint that the
device provided (e.g. default of 1MB vs optimal_io_size of 768K).

For reporting stacked or joined devices properly in cluster,
we need to report their activation state according the lock,
which activated this device tree.
This is getting a bit complex - current code tries simple approach -
For snapshot - return status for origin.
For thin pool - return status of the first known active thin volume.
For the rest of them - try to use dependency list of LVs and skip
known execptions. This should be able to recursively deduce top level
device for given LV.
(in release fix)
Add new lvs segment field 'Monitor' showing 3 states:
"monitored" - LV is monitored by dmeventd.
"not monitored" - LV is currently not being monitored by dmeventd
"" (empty) - LV does not support monitoring, or dmeventd support
is not compiled in.
Support for exclusive activation of snapshots revealed some problems.
When snapshot is created, COW LV is activated first (for clearing) and
then it's transformed into snapshot's COW LV, but it has left the lock
for such LV active in cluster and this lock could not have been removed
from dlm, unless snapshot has been removed within same dlm session.
If the user tried to remove snapshot after rebooting node, the lock was
missing, and COW LV could not have been detached.
Patch modifes the approach in this way:
Always deactivate COW LV for clustered vg after clearing (so it's
activated again via imlicit snapshot activation rule when snapshot is activated).
When snapshot is removed, activate COW LV as independend LV, so the lock
will exist for such LV, but only when the snapshot is active.
Also add test case for testing snapshot removal after cluster reboot.
'lvchange' is used to alter a RAID 1 logical volume's write-mostly and
write-behind characteristics. The '--writemostly' parameter takes a
PV as an argument with an optional trailing character to specify whether
to set ('y'), unset ('n'), or toggle ('t') the value. If no trailing
character is given, it will set the flag.
Synopsis:
lvchange [--writemostly <PV>:{t|y|n}] [--writebehind <count>] vg/lv
Example:
lvchange --writemostly /dev/sdb1:y --writebehind 512 vg/raid1_lv
The last character in the 'lv_attr' field is used to show whether a device
has the WriteMostly flag set. It is signified with a 'w'. If the device
has failed, the 'p'artial flag has priority.
Example ("nosync" raid1 with mismatch_cnt and writemostly):
[~]# lvs -a --segment vg
LV VG Attr #Str Type SSize
raid1 vg Rwi---r-m 2 raid1 500.00m
[raid1_rimage_0] vg Iwi---r-- 1 linear 500.00m
[raid1_rimage_1] vg Iwi---r-w 1 linear 500.00m
[raid1_rmeta_0] vg ewi---r-- 1 linear 4.00m
[raid1_rmeta_1] vg ewi---r-- 1 linear 4.00m
Example (raid1 with mismatch_cnt, writemostly - but failed drive):
[~]# lvs -a --segment vg
LV VG Attr #Str Type SSize
raid1 vg rwi---r-p 2 raid1 500.00m
[raid1_rimage_0] vg Iwi---r-- 1 linear 500.00m
[raid1_rimage_1] vg Iwi---r-p 1 linear 500.00m
[raid1_rmeta_0] vg ewi---r-- 1 linear 4.00m
[raid1_rmeta_1] vg ewi---r-p 1 linear 4.00m
A new reportable field has been added for writebehind as well. If
write-behind has not been set or the LV is not RAID1, the field will
be blank.
Example (writebehind is set):
[~]# lvs -a -o name,attr,writebehind vg
LV Attr WBehind
lv rwi-a-r-- 512
[lv_rimage_0] iwi-aor-w
[lv_rimage_1] iwi-aor--
[lv_rmeta_0] ewi-aor--
[lv_rmeta_1] ewi-aor--
Example (writebehind is not set):
[~]# lvs -a -o name,attr,writebehind vg
LV Attr WBehind
lv rwi-a-r--
[lv_rimage_0] iwi-aor-w
[lv_rimage_1] iwi-aor--
[lv_rmeta_0] ewi-aor--
[lv_rmeta_1] ewi-aor--
New options to 'lvchange' allow users to scrub their RAID LVs.
Synopsis:
lvchange --syncaction {check|repair} vg/raid_lv
RAID scrubbing is the process of reading all the data and parity blocks in
an array and checking to see whether they are coherent. 'lvchange' can
now initaite the two scrubbing operations: "check" and "repair". "check"
will go over the array and recored the number of discrepancies but not
repair them. "repair" will correct the discrepancies as it finds them.
'lvchange --syncaction repair vg/raid_lv' is not to be confused with
'lvconvert --repair vg/raid_lv'. The former initiates a background
synchronization operation on the array, while the latter is designed to
repair/replace failed devices in a mirror or RAID logical volume.
Additional reporting has been added for 'lvs' to support the new
operations. Two new printable fields (which are not printed by
default) have been added: "syncaction" and "mismatches". These
can be accessed using the '-o' option to 'lvs', like:
lvs -o +syncaction,mismatches vg/lv
"syncaction" will print the current synchronization operation that the
RAID volume is performing. It can be one of the following:
- idle: All sync operations complete (doing nothing)
- resync: Initializing an array or recovering after a machine failure
- recover: Replacing a device in the array
- check: Looking for array inconsistencies
- repair: Looking for and repairing inconsistencies
The "mismatches" field with print the number of descrepancies found during
a check or repair operation.
The 'Cpy%Sync' field already available to 'lvs' will print the progress
of any of the above syncactions, including check and repair.
Finally, the lv_attr field has changed to accomadate the scrubbing operations
as well. The role of the 'p'artial character in the lv_attr report field
as expanded. "Partial" is really an indicator for the health of a
logical volume and it makes sense to extend this include other health
indicators as well, specifically:
'm'ismatches: Indicates that there are discrepancies in a RAID
LV. This character is shown after a scrubbing
operation has detected that portions of the RAID
are not coherent.
'r'efresh : Indicates that a device in a RAID array has suffered
a failure and the kernel regards it as failed -
even though LVM can read the device label and
considers the device to be ok. The LV should be
'r'efreshed to notify the kernel that the device is
now available, or the device should be 'r'eplaced
if it is suspected of failing.
The pv_by_path might be also dangerous to use as it does not
count with any other metadata areas but the ones found on the PV
itself. If metadata was not found on the PV referenced by the path,
it returned no PV though it might have been referenced by metadata
elsewhere (on other PVs...).
If extending a VG and including a PV with 0 MDAs that was already
a part of a VG, the vgextend allowed that PV to be added and we
ended up *with one PV in two VGs*!
The vgextend code used the 'pv_by_path' fn that returned a PV for
a given path. However, when the PV did not have any metadata areas,
the fn just returned a PV without any reference to existing VG.
Consequently, any checks for the existing VG failed.

Unable to add physical volume '/dev/sda' to volume group 'vg2'.
Before, the find_pv_by_name call always failed if the PV found was orphan.
However, we might use this function even for a PV that is not part of any VG.
This patch adds 'allow_orphan' arg to find_pv_by_name fn that allows that.
_find_pv_by_name -> find_pv_by_name
_find_pv_in_vg -> find_pv_in_vg
_find_pv_in_vg_by_uuid -> find_pv_in_vg_by_uuid
The only callers of the underscored variants were their wrappers
without the underscore. No other part of the code referenced the
underscored variants.
Keep the flag whether given thin pool argument has been given on command
line or it's been 'estimated'
Call of update_pool_params() must not change cmdline given args and
needs to know this info.
Since there is a need to move this update function into /lib, we cannot
use arg_count().
FIXME: we need some generic mechanism here.
For example, the old call and reference:
find_config_tree_str(cmd, "devices/dir", DEFAULT_DEV_DIR)
...now becomes:
find_config_tree_str(cmd, devices_dir_CFG)
So we're referring to the named configuration ID instead
of passing the configuration path and the default value
is taken from central config definition in config_settings.h
automatically.
The PV header extension information (PV header extension version, flags
and list of Embedding Area locations) is stored just beyond the PV header base.
When calculating the Embedding Area start value (ea_start), the same logic is
used as when calculating the pe_start value for Data Area - the value must
follow exactly the same alignment restrictions for its start value
(the alignment detected automatically or provided via command line using
the --dataalignment and --dataalignmentoffset arguments).
The Embedding Area is placed at the very start of the PV, starting at
ea_start. The Data Area starting at pe_start is placed next. The pe_start is
still properly aligned. Due to the pe_start alignment, it's possible that the
resulting Embedding Area size (ea_size) ends up bigger in size than requested
(but never less than requested).
New tools with PV header extension support will read the extension
if it exists and it's not an error if it does not exist (so old PVs
will still work seamlessly with new tools).
Old tools without PV header extension support will just ignore any
extension.
As for the Embedding Area location information (its start and size),
there are actually two places where this is stored:
- PV header extension
- VG metadata
The VG metadata contains a copy of what's written in the PV header
extension about the Embedding Area location (NULL value is not copied):
physical_volumes {
pv0 {
id = "AkSSRf-difg-fCCZ-NjAN-qP49-1zzg-S0Fd4T"
device = "/dev/sda" # Hint only
status = ["ALLOCATABLE"]
flags = []
dev_size = 262144 # 128 Megabytes
pe_start = 67584
pe_count = 23 # 92 Megabytes
ea_start = 2048
ea_size = 65536 # 32 Megabytes
}
}
The new metadata fields are "ea_start" and "ea_size".
This is mostly useful when restoring the PV by using existing
metadata backups (e.g. pvcreate --restorefile ...).
New tools does not require these two fields to exist in VG metadata,
they're not compulsory. Therefore, reading old VG metadata which doesn't
contain any Embedding Area information will not end up with any kind
of error but only a debug message that the ea_start and ea_size values
were not found.
Old tools just ignore these extra fields in VG metadata.
PV header extension comes just beyond the existing PV header base:
PV header base (existing):
- uuid
- device size
- null-terminated list of Data Areas
- null-terminater list of MetaData Areas
PV header extension:
- extension version
- flags
- null-terminated list of Embedding Areas
This patch also adds "eas" (Embedding Areas) list to lvmcache (lvmcache_info)
and it also adds support for common operations on the list (just like for
already existing "das" - Data Areas list):
- lvmcache_add_ea
- lvmcache_update_eas
- lvmcache_foreach_ea
- lvmcache_del_eas
Also, add ea_start and ea_size to struct physical_volume for processing
PV Embedding Area location throughout the code (currently only one
Embedding Area is supported, though the definition on disk allows for
more if needed in the future...).
Also, define FMT_EAS format flag to mark that the format actually
supports Embedding Areas (currently format-text only).
Extract restorable PV creation parameters from struct pvcreate_params into
a separate struct pvcreate_restorable_params for clarity and also for better
maintainability when adding any new items later.
Use the field 'origin' for reporting external origin lv name.
For thin volumes with external origin, report the size of
external origin size via:
lvs -o+origin_size
If zero metadata copies are used, there's no further recalculation of
PV alignment that happens when adding metadata areas to the PV and
which actually calculates the alignment correctly as a matter of fact.
So fix this for "PV without MDA" case as well.
Before this patch:
[1] raw/~ # pvcreate --dataalignment 8m --dataalignmentoffset 4m
--metadatacopies 1 /dev/sda
Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
[1] raw/~ # pvs -o pv_name,pe_start

[1] raw/~ # pvcreate --dataalignment 8m --dataalignmentoffset 4m
--metadatacopies 0 /dev/sda
Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
[1] raw/~ # pvs -o pv_name,pe_start
PV 1st PE
/dev/sda 8.00m
After this patch:
[1] raw/~ # pvcreate --dataalignment 8m --dataalignmentoffset 4m
--metadatacopies 1 /dev/sda
Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
[1] raw/~ # pvs -o pv_name,pe_start
PV 1st PE
/dev/sda 12.00m
[1] raw/~ # pvcreate --dataalignment 8m --dataalignmentoffset 4m
--metadatacopies 0 /dev/sda
Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
[1] raw/~ # pvs -o pv_name,pe_start
PV 1st PE
/dev/sda 12.00m
Also, remove a superfluous condition "pv->pe_start < pv->pe_align" in:
if (pe_start == PV_PE_START_CALC && pv->pe_start < pv->pe_align)
pv->pe_start = pv->pe_align ...
This part of the condition is not reachable as with the PV_PE_START_CALC,
we always have pv->pe_start set to 0 from the PV struct initialisation
(...the pv->pe_start value is just being calculated).
When a device fails, we may wish to replace those segments with an
error segment. (Like when a 'vgreduce --removemissing' removes a
failed device that happens to be a RAID image/meta.) We are then left
with images that we will eventually want to remove or replace.
This patch allows us to pull out these virtual "error" sub-LVs. This
allows a user to 'lvconvert -m -1 vg/lv' to extract the bad sub-LVs.
Sub-LVs with error segments are considered for extraction before other
possible devices so that good devices are not accidentally removed.
This patch also adds the ability to replace RAID images that contain error
segments. The user will still be unable to run 'lvconvert --replace'
because there is no way to address the 'error' segment (i.e. no PV
that it is associated with). However, 'lvconvert --repair' can be
used to replace the image's error segment with a new PV. This is also
the most appropriate way to do it, since the LV will continue to be
reported as 'partial'.
Currently it is impossible to remove a failed PV which has a RAID LV
on it. This patch fixes the issue by replacing the failed PV with an
'error' segment within the affected sub-LVs. Once there is no longer
a RAID LV using the PV, it can be removed.
Most often, it is better to replace a failed RAID device with a spare.
(You can use 'lvconvert --repair <vg>/<LV>' to accomplish that.)
However, if there are no spares in the volume group and none will be
added, it is useful to be able to removed the failed device.
Following patches address the ability to perform 'lvconvert' operations
on RAID LVs that contain sub-LVs composed of 'error' segments.
We have been using 'mirror_region_size' in lvm.conf as the default region
size for RAID logical volumes as well as mirror logical volumes. Since,
"raid" is more inclusive and representative than "mirror", I have changed
the name of this setting. We must still check for the old setting and warn
the user if we are overriding it with the new setting if both happen to be
present.
This internal function check for active pool device.
For cluster it checks every thin volume,
On the non-clustered VG we need to check just
for presence of -tpool device.
There are currently a few issues with the reporting done on RAID LVs and
sub-LVs. The most concerning is that 'lvs' does not always report the
correct failure status of individual RAID sub-LVs (devices). This can
occur when a device fails and is restored after the failure has been
detected by the kernel. In this case, 'lvs' would report all devices are
fine because it can read the labels on each device just fine.
Example:
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvs -a -o name,vg_name,attr,copy_percent,devices vg
LV VG Attr Cpy%Sync Devices
lv vg rwi-a-r-- 100.00 lv_rimage_0(0),lv_rimage_1(0)
[lv_rimage_0] vg iwi-aor-- /dev/sda1(1)
[lv_rimage_1] vg iwi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(1)
[lv_rmeta_0] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sda1(0)
[lv_rmeta_1] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(0)
However, 'dmsetup status' on the device tells us a different story:
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# dmsetup status vg-lv
0 1024000 raid raid1 2 DA 1024000/1024000
In this case, we must also be sure to check the RAID LVs kernel status
in order to get the proper information. Here is an example of the correct
output that is displayed after this patch is applied:
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvs -a -o name,vg_name,attr,copy_percent,devices vg
LV VG Attr Cpy%Sync Devices
lv vg rwi-a-r-p 100.00 lv_rimage_0(0),lv_rimage_1(0)
[lv_rimage_0] vg iwi-aor-p /dev/sda1(1)
[lv_rimage_1] vg iwi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(1)
[lv_rmeta_0] vg ewi-aor-p /dev/sda1(0)
[lv_rmeta_1] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(0)
The other case where 'lvs' gives incomplete or improper output is when a
device is replaced or added to a RAID LV. It should display that the RAID
LV is in the process of sync'ing and that the new device is the only one
that is not-in-sync - as indicated by a leading 'I' in the Attr column.
(Remember that 'i' indicates an (i)mage that is in-sync and 'I' indicates
an (I)mage that is not in sync.) Here's an example of the old incorrect
behaviour:
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvs -a -o name,vg_name,attr,copy_percent,devices vg
LV VG Attr Cpy%Sync Devices
lv vg rwi-a-r-- 100.00 lv_rimage_0(0),lv_rimage_1(0)
[lv_rimage_0] vg iwi-aor-- /dev/sda1(1)
[lv_rimage_1] vg iwi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(1)
[lv_rmeta_0] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sda1(0)
[lv_rmeta_1] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(0)
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvconvert -m +1 vg/lv; lvs -a -o name,vg_name,attr,copy_percent,devices vg
LV VG Attr Cpy%Sync Devices
lv vg rwi-a-r-- 0.00 lv_rimage_0(0),lv_rimage_1(0),lv_rimage_2(0)
[lv_rimage_0] vg Iwi-aor-- /dev/sda1(1)
[lv_rimage_1] vg Iwi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(1)
[lv_rimage_2] vg Iwi-aor-- /dev/sdc1(1)
[lv_rmeta_0] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sda1(0)
[lv_rmeta_1] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(0)
[lv_rmeta_2] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sdc1(0) ** Note that all the images currently are marked as 'I' even though it is
only the last device that has been added that should be marked.
Here is an example of the correct output after this patch is applied:
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvs -a -o name,vg_name,attr,copy_percent,devices vg
LV VG Attr Cpy%Sync Devices
lv vg rwi-a-r-- 100.00 lv_rimage_0(0),lv_rimage_1(0)
[lv_rimage_0] vg iwi-aor-- /dev/sda1(1)
[lv_rimage_1] vg iwi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(1)
[lv_rmeta_0] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sda1(0)
[lv_rmeta_1] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(0)
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvconvert -m +1 vg/lv; lvs -a -o name,vg_name,attr,copy_percent,devices vg
LV VG Attr Cpy%Sync Devices

[lv_rmeta_1] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(0)
[lv_rmeta_2] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sdc1(0)
** Note only the last image is marked with an 'I'. This is correct and we can
tell that it isn't the whole array that is sync'ing, but just the new
device.
It also works under snapshots...

fmt1 doesn't have a separate commit function: updates take effect
immediately vg_write is called, so we must update lvmetad at this
point if we're going to go on and ask lvmetad for the VG metadata
again before calling the commit function (though that's probably an
unsupported and pointless thing to do anyway as the client must
already have that data and it cannot have changed because it's locked
and with devs suspended we shouldn't be communicating with lvmetad;
so when that's fixed properly, this fix here can be reverted).
This problem showed up as an internal error when lvremoving an LVM1
snapshot.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/891855
If a RAID array is not in-sync, replacing devices should not be allowed
as a general rule. This is because the contents used to populate the
incoming device may be undefined because the devices being read where
not in-sync. The kernel enforces this rule unless overridden by not
allowing the creation of an array that is not in-sync and includes a
devices that needs to be rebuilt.
Since we cannot know the sync state of an LV if it is inactive, we must
also enforce the rule that an array must be active to replace devices.
That leaves us with the following conditions:
1) never allow replacement or repair of devices if the LV is in-active
2) never allow replacement if the LV is not in-sync
3) allow repair if the LV is not in-sync, but warn that contents may
not be recoverable.
In the case where a user is performing the repair on the command line via
'lvconvert --repair', the warning is printed before the user is prompted
if they would like to replace the device(s). If the repair is automated
(i.e. via dmeventd and policy is "allocate"), then the device is replaced
if possible and the warning is printed.
