We're refererring to 'activation' all over the code and we're talking
about 'LVs being activated' all the time so let's use 'activation/activate'
everywhere for clarity and consistency (still providing the old
'available' keyword as a synonym for backward compatibility with
existing environments).
Update release_lv_segment_area not to discard any PV extents,
as it also gets used when moving extents between LVs.
Instead, call a new function release_and_discard_lv_segment_area() in
the two places where data should be discarded - lv_reduce() and
remove_mirrors_from_segments().
When mirrors are up-converted, a transient mirror layer is put in so that
only the new devices are sync'ed. That transient layer must carry the tags
of the original mirror LV, otherwise it will fail to activate when activation
is regulated by lvm.conf:activation/volume_list. The conversion would then
fail.
The fix is to do exactly the same thing that is being done for linear ->
mirror converting (lib/metadata/mirror.c:_init_mirror_log()). We copy the
tags temporarily for the new LV and remove them after the activation.
Snapshots of RAID logical volumes are allowed (including "raid1"). However,
snapshots of "mirror" logical volumes has been disallowed due to unsolvable
issues inherent to the design. The fact that mirroring (dm-raid1.c) must
stop all I/O as the result of a failure and wait for userspace intervention
can lead to a circular dependency if userspace is simultaneously waiting for
snapshots (on mirrors) to make an I/O update before proceeding.
Various snapshot on mirror tests have been removed as a result.
If two devices in an array failed, it was previously impossible to replace
just one of them. This patch allows for the replacement of some, but perhaps
not all, failed devices.
The logic for resuming the original and newly split LVs was not properly
done to handle situations where anything but the last device in the array
was split. It did not take into account the possible name collisions that
might occur when the original LV undergoes the shifting and renaming of its
sub-LVs.
In this case we should allow to use local mirror, check for cmirror
should apply only for lvconvert/lvcreate.
Introduced in 2.02.86 by removing !(lv->status & ACTIVATE_EXCL).
(Partially workaround, it is minimalistic patch for now.)
Code adds better support for monitoring of thin pool devices.
update_pool_lv uses DMEVENTD_MONITOR_IGNORE to not manipulate with monitoring.
vgchange & lvchange are checking real thin pool device for existance
as we are using _tpool real device and visible LV pool device might not
be even active (_tpool is activated implicitely for any thin volume).
monitor_dev_for_events is another _lv_postorder like code it might be worth
to think about reusing it here - for now update the code to properly
monitory thin volume deps.
For unmonitoring add extra code to check the usage of thin pool - in case it's in use
unmonitoring of thin volume is skipped.
When down-converting a RAID1 device, it is the last device that is extracted
and removed when the user does not specify a particular device. However,
when a device is specified (and it is not the last), the device is removed and
the remaining sub-LVs are "shifted down" to fill the hole. This cause problems
when resuming the LV because if the shifted devices were resumed (and thus
renamed) before the sub-LV being extracted, there would be a name conflict.
The solution is to resume the extracted sub-LVs first so that they can be
properly renamed preventing a possible conflict.
This addresses bug 801967.
Add 3rd daemon return state "unknown" for lookups that are carried out
successfully but don't find the item requested.
Avoid issuing error messages when it's expected that a device that's
being looked up in lvmetad might not be there.
If the thin pool has disabled zeroing (created with -Zn), we at least
clear initial 4KiB of such thin volume (provisions 1st block).
If lvcreate is executed with '-an' command will abort (same way like we for
normal LV - however for normal LV option -Zn may skip clearing completely,
for thin volumes this option is not supported (applies only for pools).
Adding at least stack traces with some FIXMEs for cases,
where we might want to do something cleaver - maybe fail command
or give user hints something is not going well ?
For remote_backup is stack probably 'good' enough for now.
The code fail to account for the case where we just need a single device
in a RAID 4/5/6 array. There is no good way to tell the allocation functions
that we don't need parity devices when we are allocating just a single device.
So, I've used a bit of a hack. If we are allocating an area_count that is <=
the parity count, then we can assume we are simply allocating a replacement
device (i.e. no need to include parity devices in the calculations). This
should make sense in most cases. If we need to allocate replacement devices
due to failure (or moving), we will never allocate more than the parity count;
or we would cause the array to become unusable. If we are creating a new device,
we should always create more stripes than parity devices.
Read lvm.conf setting for monitoring for each command. So we should not
activate monitoring if the default compilation is set to monitor during
lvconvert commnads.
Patch also removes check for clustered VG and allows to disable monitoring
for clustered VG with the assumption, the problem with monitoring and dmeventd
flag passing for INGNORE is already fixed.
Move commod code to destroy orphan VG into free_orphan_vg() function.
Use orphan vgmem for creation of PV lists.
Remove some free_pv_fid() calls (FIXME: check all of them)
FIXME: Check whether we could merge release_vg back again for all VGs.
Before removing thin pool LV always make sure, stacked message
for previous run are cleared - but allow to remove any
device that should have been created
(i.e. creation of snapshot failed - so the message for snapshot creation
may be replaced with delete message within unfinished transaction).
Also commit messages after lv remove - so free space is released in pool.
Extend the usage of origin_only flag to allow resume of thin pool LV
(when it's active) to pass only the messages.
origin_only flag will skip detection of already resumed tree for thin_pool,
so we do not need to suspend the tree and we just send messages.
Add pool_has_message and use it in attach_pool_message.
Also update header to make more obvious which segment type is
expected as parameter.
Rename 'read_only' to 'no_update' (no auto update transaction_id)
to better fit how it's used.
Fix problem when there was only one stacked message replaced with delete
message that caused unwanted transaction_id increase.
Failure to do so results in "Performing unsafe table load while X device(s) are
known to be suspended" errors. While fixing the problem in this way works and
is consistent with the way the mirror segment type does it, it would be nice
to find a solution that uses the generic suspend/resume calls.
Also included in this check-in are additions to the test suite that perform
conversions on RAID LVs under a snapshot. These tests are disabled for the
time being due to a kernel bug that is yet to be tracked down.
Since striped name function knows when to report 'linear' instead of
'stripe' type name - drop it from this place.
This fixes problem when reporting segtype e.g. for thin-pool which
is also using area_count=1 to store thin data device reference.
It also returns properly strduped memory instead of badly casted const char*.
Since snapshot needs to suspend origin - it might lead to pool userspace
deadlock (as the pool will wait for new space in case it would be overfilled,
but dmeventd would not be able to resize it, as the lvcreate operation would
have kept the VG lock.)
To minimize the risk of such scenario - we prevent to create new snapshot
in case we are over the threshold - but beware, there is still small timewindow,
so keep threshold at some reasonable level!
New field Data% is able to display info about
thin_pool, thin, snapshot and has generic meaning here.
Simple Time/Host field are here to display host and time creation.
Basic support to keep info when the LV was created.
Host and time is stored into LV mda section.
FIXME: Current version doesn't support configurable string via lvm.conf
and used fixed version strftime "%Y-%m-%d %T %z".
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
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
If the extent_size is smaller then the chunk_size we may try
to find better aligment (wasting less space).
i.e. using 4KB extent_size and 64KB chunk size will
lead to creation of 64KB aligned thin volume.
Support allocation of metadata from the same PV, if the VG
is build only from one PV.
As thinp is not mirror - we do not require 2 PVs
for basic thin usage as user is losing only perfomance.
Replace detach_pool_messages with update_pool_lv.
Move creation code from to 'if' condition into 1.
Ensure creation has finished all previous message operations.
All thins are created with the next activation and VG is updated
without messages. Only some basic commands works.
(i.e. lvcreate -an -V10 -T mvg/pool)
There can be some combination to confuse this system.
This functionality for snapshots is going to be interesting.
If something fails during creation of thin LV remove such LV
and deactivate in case it's been already tried to activate
(i.e. thin kernel driver fails for some reason.)
