This is a followup patch for previous patchset that enables selection in
process_each_* fns to fix an issue where field prefixes are not
automatically used for fields in selection criteria.
Use initial report type that matches the intention of each process_each_* functions:
- _process_pvs_in_vg - PVS
- process_each_vg - VGS
- process_each_lv and process_each_lv_in_vg - LVS
This is not normally needed for the selection handle init, BUT we would
miss the field prefix matching, e.g.
lvchange -ay -S 'name=lvol0'
The "name" above would not work if we didn't initialize reporting with
the LVS type at its start. If we pass proper init type, reporting code
can deduce the prefix automatically ("lv_name" in this case).
This report type is then changed further based on what selection criteria we
have. When doing pure selection, not report output, the final report type
is purely based on combination of this initial report type and report types
of the fields used in selection criteria.
We already allowed -S|--select with {vg,lv,pv}display -C (which
was then equal to {vg,lv,pv}s command. Since we support selection
in toolib now, we can support -S also without using -C in *display
commands now.
pvchange is an exception that does not use toollib yet for iterating
over the list of PVs (process_each_pv) so intialize the
processing_handle and use just like it's used in toollib.
We have 3 input report types:
- LVS (representing "_select_match_lv")
- VGS (representing "_select_match_vg")
- PVS (representing "_select_match_pv")
The input report type is saved in struct selection_handle's "orig_report_type"
variable.
However, users can use any combination of fields of different report types in
selection criteria - the resulting report type can thus differ. The struct
selection_handle's "report_type" variable stores this resulting report type.
The resulting report_type can end up as one of:
- LVS
- VGS
- PVS
- SEGS
- PVSEGS
This patch adds logic to report_for_selection based on (sensible) combination
of orig_report_type and report_type and calls appropriate reporting functions
or iterates over multiple items that need reporting to determine the selection
result.
The report_for_selection does the actual "reporting for selection only".
The selection status will be saved in struct selection_handle's "selected"
variable.
The code to determine final report type based on combination of input
report type (determined from fields used for reporting to output and selection)
can be reused for pure reporting for selection - factor out this code into
_get_final_report_type function.
This applies to:
- process_each_lv_in_vg - the VG is selected only if at least one of its LVs is selected
- process_each_segment_in_lv - the LV is selected only if at least one of its LV segments is selected
- process_each_pv_in_vg - the VG is selected only if at least one of its PVs is selected
- process_each_segment_in_pv - the PV is selected only if at least one of its PV segments is selected
So this patch causes the selection result to be properly propagated up to callers.
Call _init_processing_handle, _init_selection_handle and
_destroy_processing_handle in process_each_* and related functions to
set up and destroy handles used while processing items.
The init_processing_handle, init_selection_handle and
destroy_processing_handle are helper functions that allocate and
initialize the handles used when processing items in process_each_*
and related functions.
The "struct processing_handle" contains handles to drive the selection/matching
so pass it to the _select_match_* functions which are entry points to the
selection mechanism used in process_each_* and related functions.
This is revised and edited version of former Dave Teigland's patch which
provided starting point for all the select support in process_each_* fns.
The new "report_init_for_selection" is just a wrapper over
dm_report_init_with_selection that initializes reporting for selection
only. This means we're not going to do the actual reporting to output
for display and as such we intialize reporting as if no fields are reported
or sorted. The only fields "reported" are taken from the selection criteria
string and all such fields are marked as hidden automatically (FLD_HIDDEN flag).
These fields are used solely for selection criteria matching.
Also, modify existing report_object function that was used for reporting to
output for display. Now, it can either cause reporting to output or reporting
for selection only. The selection result is stored in struct selection_handle's
"selected" variable which can be handled further by any report_object caller.
This patch replaces "void *handle" with "struct processing_handle *handle"
in process_each_*, process_single_* and related functions.
The struct processing_handle consists of two handles inside now:
- the "struct selection_handle *selection_handle" used for
applying selection criteria while processing process_each_*,
process_single_* and related functions (patches using this
logic will follow)
- the "void* custom_handle" (this is actually the original handle
used before this patch - a pointer to custom data passed into
process_each_*, process_single_* and related functions).
Once LVM_COMMAND_PROFILE environment variable is specified, the profile
referenced is used just like it was specified using "<lvm command> --commandprofile".
If both --commandprofile cmd line option and LVM_COMMAND_PROFILE env
var is used, the --commandprofile cmd line option gets preference.
After commit 158e998876 where we may
start to readlv_attr with a 'shared' ioctl call for a single lvs line
we where obtaing single status for thin pools.
However this is not properly reflecting lvm2 reality.
Correcting this by reading lv status from layered thin pool, but lv info
from non-layered (linear) mapped device which is maintained for proper
cluster locking.
When repairing thin pool or swapping thin pool metadata,
preserve chunk_size property and avoid to be automatically changed
later in the code to better match thin pool metadata size.
Add separate LVSINFOSTATUS field type for fields which display both
dm info-like and dm status-like information.
The internal interface is there with the introduction of LVSSTATUS
field type which can cope with the combination of LVSSTATUS
and LVSINFO field types (several fields).
However, till now, we considered that *single* field can display
either LVSINFO or LVSSTATUS, but not both at the same time.
Till now, we haven't had single field which needs both - hence
add LVSINFOSTATUS field type for such fields as we currently
need this for the lv_attr field which requires combination of
info and status.
This patch just adds interface for an ability to register such fields
(the code that copes with this is already in).
A full search for duplicate PVs in the case of pvs -a
is only necessary when duplicates have previously been
detected in lvmcache. Use a global variable from lvmcache
to indicate that duplicate PVs exist, so we can skip the
search for duplicates when none exist.
Previously, 'pvs -a' displayed the VG name for only the device
associated with the cached PV (pv->dev), and other duplicate
devices would have a blank VG name. This commit displays the
VG name for each of the duplicate devices. The cost of doing
this is not small: for each PV processed, the list of all
devices must be searched for duplicates.
When multiple duplicate devices are specified on the
command line, the PV is processed once for each of them,
but pv->dev is the device used each time.
This overrides the PV device to reflect the duplicate
device that was specified on the command line. This is
done by hacking the lvmcache to replace pv->dev with the
device of the duplicate being processed. (It would be
preferable to override pv->dev without munging the content
of the cache, and without sprinkling special cases throughout
the code.)
This override only applies when multiple duplicate devices are
specified on the command line. When only a single duplicate
device of pv->dev is specified, the priority is to display the
cached pv->dev, so pv->dev is not overridden by the named
duplicate device.
In the examples below, loop3 is the cached device referenced
by pv->dev, and is given priority for processing. Only after
loop3 is processed/displayed, will other duplicate devices
loop0/loop1 appear (when requested on the command line.)
With two duplicate devices, loop0 and loop3:

Processes a PV once for each time a device with its PV ID
exists on the command line.
This fixes a regression in the case where:
. devices /dev/sdA and /dev/sdB where clones (same PV ID)
. the cached VG references /dev/sdA
. before the regression, the command: pvs /dev/sdB
would display the cached device clone /dev/sdA
. after the regression, pvs /dev/sdB would display nothing,
causing vgimportclone /dev/sdB to fail.
. with this fix, pvs /dev/sdB displays /dev/sdA
Also, pvs /dev/sdA /dev/sdB will report two lines, one for each
device on the command line, but /dev/sdA is displayed for each.
This only works without lvmetad.
Support error_if_no_space feature for thin pools.
Report more info about thinpool status:
(out_of_data (D), metadata_read_only (M), failed (F) also as health
attribute.)
API for seg reporting is breaking internal lvm coding - it cannot
use vgmem mem pool for allocation of reported value.
So use separate pool instead of 'vgmem' for non vg related allocations
Add consts for many function params - but still many other are left
for now as non-const - needs deeper level of change even on libdm side.
If pvscan is run with device path instead of major:minor pair and this
device still exists in the system and the device is not visible anymore
(due to a filter that is applied), notify lvmetad properly about this.
This makes it more consistent with respect to existing pvscan with
major:minor which already notifies lvmetad about device that is gone
due to filters.
However, if the device is not in the system anymore, we're not able
to translate the original device path into major:minor pair which
lvmetad needs for its action (lvmetad_pv_gone fn). So in this case,
we still need to use major:minor pair only, not device path. But at
least make "pvscan --cache DevicePath" as near as possible to "pvscan
--cahce <major>:<minor>" functionality.
Also add a note to pvscan man page about this difference when using
pvscan --cache with DevicePath and major:minor pair.
When processing PVs specified on the command line, the arg
name was being matched against pv_dev_name, which will not
always work:
- The PV specified on the command line could be an alias,
e.g. /dev/disk/by-id/...
- The PV specified on the command line could be any random
path to the device, e.g. /dev/../dev/sdb
To fix this, first resolve the named PV args to struct device's,
then iterate through the devices for processing.
The {pv,vg,lv}display *do* use reporting in case "-C|--columns" is used.
The man page was correct, the recognition for the --binary was missing
in the code though!
The call to dm_config_destroy can derefence result->mem
while result is still NULL:
struct dm_config_tree *get_cachepolicy_params(struct cmd_context *cmd)
{
...
int ok = 0;
...
if (!(result = dm_config_flatten(current)))
goto_out;
...
ok = 1;
out:
if (!ok) {
dm_config_destroy(result)
...
}
...
}
ignore_vg now returns 0 for the FAILED_CLUSTERED case,
so all the ignore_vg 1 cases will return vg's with an
empty vg->pvs, so we do not need to iterate through
vg->pvs to remove the entries from the devices list.
Clean up whitespace problems in that area from the
previous commit.
- Fix problems with recent changes related to skipping in:
. _process_vgnameid_list
. _process_pvs_in_vgs
- Undo unnecessary changes to the code structure and readability.
- Preserve valid but minor changes:
. testing FAILED bit values in ignore_vg
. using "skip" value from ignore_vg instead of "ret" value
. applying the sigint check to the start of all loops
. setting stack backtrace when ECMD_PROCESSED is not returned,
i.e. apply the following pattern:
ret = process_foo();
if (ret != ECMD_PROCESSED)
stack;
if (ret > ret_max)
ret_max = ret;
Extend/fix d8923457b8 commit.
'skip'-ed VG is not holding any lock - so don't unlock such VG.
At the same time simplify the code around and relase VG at a single
place and unlock only not skiped and not ignored VGs.
Rework ignore_vg() API so it properly handles
multiple kind of vg_read_error() states.
Skip processing only otherwise valid VG.
Always return ECMD_FAILED when break is detected.
Check sigint_caught() in front of dm iterator loop.
Add stack for _process failing ret codes.
Move common code into shared internal fn so the logic for getting the
LV info as well LV segment status is not scattered around - call common
_do_info_and_status to gather required parts in reporting handlers.
- Add separate lv_status fn (if we're interested only in seg status,
but not lv info at the same time as it is with existing
lv_info_with_seg_status fn). So we 3 fns:
- lv_info (existing one, runs only info ioctl, fills in struct lvinfo only)
- lv_status (new one, runs status ioctl, fills in struct lv_seg_status only)
- lv_info_with_seg_status (existing one, runs status ioctl, fills
in struct lvinfo as well as lv_seg_status)
- Add more comments in the code explaining the difference between lv_info,
lv_status and lv_info_with_seg_status and their return values.
- Move decision whether lv_info_with_seg_status needs to call only
status ioctl (in case the segment for which we require status is from
the LV for which we require info) or separate status and info ioctl
(in case the segment for which we require status is from different
LV that the one for which we require info) into
lv_info_with_seg_status fn so caller doesn't need to bother about
this at all.
- Cleanup internal interface for this seg status so it's more readable.
LVM2.2.02.112/tools/toollib.c:1991: leaked_storage: Variable "iter" going out of scope leaks the storage it points to.
LVM2.2.02.112/lib/filters/filter-usable.c:89: leaked_storage: Variable "f" going out of scope leaks the storage it points to.
LVM2.2.02.112/lib/activate/dev_manager.c:1874: leaked_handle: Handle variable "fd" going out of scope leaks the handle.
Similar to LVSINFO type which gathers LV + its DM_DEVICE_INFO, the
new LVSSTATUS/SEGSSTATUS report type will gather LV/segment + its
DM_DEVICE_STATUS.
Since we can report status only for certain segment, in case
of LVSSTATUS we need to choose which segment related to the LV
should be processed that represents the "LV status". In case of
SEGSSTATUS type it's clear - the status is reported for the
segment just processed.
The former struct lv_with_info is renamed to lv_with_info_and_seg_status as it can
hold more than just "info", there's lv's segment status now in addition:
struct lv_with_info_and_seg_status {
struct logical_volume *lv;
struct lvinfo *info;
struct lv_seg_status *seg_status;
}
Where struct lv_seg_status is:
struct lv_seg_status {
struct dm_pool *mem;
struct lv_segment lv_seg;
lv_seg_status_type_t type;
void *status; /* struct dm_status_* */
}
Where lv_seg points to lv's segment that is being reported or
processed in general.
New struct lv_seg_status keeps the information about segment status -
the status retrieved via DM_DEVICE_STATUS ioctl. This information will
be used for reporting dm device target status for the LV segment
specified.
So this patch introduces third level of LV information that is
kept for reuse while reporting fields within one reporting line,
causing only one DM_DEVICE_STATUS ioctl call per LV segment line
reported (otherwise we'd need to call the DM_DEVICE_STATUS for each
segment status field in one LV segment/reporting line which is not
efficient).
This is following exactly the same principle as already introduced
by commit ecb2be5d16.
So currently we have three levels of information that can be used
to report an LV/LV segment:
- LV metadata itself (struct logical_volume *lv)
- LV's DM_DEVICE_INFO ioctl result (struct lvinfo *info)
- LV's segment DM_DEVICE_STATUS ioctl result (this status must be
bound to a segment, not the whole LV as the whole LV may be
composed of several segments of course)
(this is the new struct lv_seg_status *seg_status)
Let's use this function for more activations in the code.
'needs_exlusive' will enforce exlusive type for any given LV.
We may want to activate LV in exlusive mode, even when we know
the LV (as is) supports non-exlusive activation as well.
lvcreate -ay -> exclusive & local
lvcreate -aay -> exclusive & local
lvcreate -aly -> exclusive & local
lvcreate -aey -> exclusive (might be on any node).
LVSINFO is just a subtype of LVS report type with extra "info" ioctl
called for each LV reported (per output line) so include its processing
within "case LVS" switch, not as completely different kind of reporting
which may be misleading when reading the code.
There's already the "lv_info_needed" flag set in the _report fn, so
call the approriate reporting function based on this flag within the
"case LVS" switch line.
Actually the same is already done for LV is reported per segments
within the "case SEGS" switch line. So this patch makes the code more
consistent so it's processed the same way for all cases.
Also, this is a preparation for another and new subtype that will
be introduced later - the "LVSSTATUS" and "SEGSSTATUS" report type.
Tool will use internal activation of unused cache pool to
clear metadata area before next use of cache-pool.
So allow to deactivation unused pool in case some error
case happend and we were not able to deactivation pool
right after metadata wipe.
New size_mb_arg_with_percent is able to read size_mb_arg
but also it's able to read % values.
Percent parsing is share with int_arg_with_sign_and_percent.
If root has locales with different decimal point then '.'
(i.e. Czech with ',') lets be tolerant and retry with
"C" locales in the case '.' is found during parse of number.
Locales are then restored back.
Support compile type configurable defaults for creation
of sparse volumes.
By default now create 'thin-pools' for sparse volumes.
Use the global/sparse_segtype_default to switch back to old
snapshots if needed.
Apply the same compile logic for newly introduces mirror/raid1 options.
Unlike with thin-pool - with cache we support all args also
directly when create cache volume.
So the result of 'separate' cache-pool creation and setting its
options should give same result as specifying those args
during cache creation.
Cache-pool values are used as defaults if the params are
not specified with cache creation.
Move code for creation of thin volume into a single place
out of lv_extend(). This allows to drop extra pool arg
for alloc_lv_segment() && lv_extend() and makes code
more easier to read and follow.
Let the finaly state of zero & wipe_signature to be
resolved later together with all the types.
Don't play with zero assigment and segtype flag
(i.e. thin-pool -Z has different meaning).
Check if the passed options do allow requested zeroing/wiping.
lvcreate without -Z or -W will fallback to warning if the device
cannot be zeroed, however if user requested them explicitely
it will give user error.
Refactor lvcreate code.
Prefer to use arg_outside_list_is_set() so we get automatic 'white-list'
validation of supported options with different segment types.
Drop used lp->cache, lp->cache and use seg_is_cache(), seg_is_thin()
Draw clear border where is the last moment we could change create
segment type.
When segment type is given with --type - do not allow it to be changed
later.
Put together tests related to individual segment types.
Finish cache conversion at proper part of lv_manip code after
the vg_metadata are written - so we could correcly clean-up created
stripe LV for cache volume.
Introduce new option to specify pool data size.
This will be user to create i.e. cache & cachepool at once.
And possible for thin external origin snapshot.
This is only very basic patch to enable options, the
real working code will come later.
Use new libdm macro DM_LIST_HEAD_INIT().
Embeded 'free' segment type (so it's not needed in the list)
Drop assignments of 0,NULL since they are defaults.
Ask for lock the proper LV.
Use the top-most LV to query for locally exclusive lock.
The rest of operations are then using 'lv_info()'
TODO:
Check all devices are reloaded from proper level.
In general any query on lv_is_active is supposed to be running
ona lv_lock_holder() volume.
Instead of segtype->ops->name() introduce lvseg_name().
This also allows us to leave name() function 'empty' for default
return of segtype->name.
TODO: add functions for rest of ops->
Fix lvm_split that is called when cmd line string is separated into
argv fields to recognize quote chars ('\'" and '"') properly and
when these quotes are used, consider the text within quotes as one
argument, do not separate it based on space characters inside.
The lvm_split is used during processing lvm shell command line or
when calling lvm commands through cmdlib (e.g. dmeventd plugins).
For example, the lvm shell scenario:
Before this patch:
$lvm
lvm> lvs --config 'global{ suffix=0 }'
Parse error at byte 9 (line 1): unexpected token
Failed to set overridden configuration entries.
With this patch applied:
$lvm
lvm> lvs --config 'global{ suffix=0 }'
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Meta% Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert

(Exactly the same problem is hit when calling LVM commands with
quoted arguments via lvm2cmd lib in dmeventd plugins.)
Because of the recent change to process_each_pv(), the vg is always
provided when the pv is in a vg. is_pv(pv) means the pv is in a vg,
which means that the vg arg will not be NULL, which means the removed
block of code is not needed.
When we are given an existing LV name - it needs to be allowed
to pass in even restricted name as the LV could have existed
long before we introduced some new restriction on prefix/suffix.i
Fix the regression on name limits and drop restriction to be applied
on any existing LVs - only the new created LV names have to be
complient with current name restrictions.
FIXME: we are currently using restricted names incorrectly in few
other places - device_is_usable() skips restricted names,
and udev flags are also incorrectly set for restricted names
so these LVs are not getting links properly.
The warnings arg was used to enable logging of warnings
when reading a PV. This arg is turned into a set of flags
with the WARN_PV_READ flag matching the existing behavior.
A new flag WARN_INCONSISTENT is added that will cause
vg_read_internal() to log the "VG is not consistent"
warning so the various callers do not need to log
this warning themselves.
A new vg_read flag READ_WARN_INCONSISTENT is used from
reporting to enable the WARN_INCONSISTENT flag in
vg_read_internal.

Process PVs by iterating through VGs, then iterating through
devices if the command needs to process non-PV devices.
The process_single function can always use the VG and PV args.
[Committed by agk with cosmetic changes and tweaks.]
Move code to better locations.
Improve test and remove invalid ones
(i.e. no reason to require cache size to be >= then origin).
Correctly comment where the code is doing actual conversion
of other existing volume - we do already a similar thing with
external origins.
Lots of new command line options and combinations is now supported.
Hopefully older syntax still works as well.
lvcreate --cache --cachepool vg/pool -l1
lvcreate --type cache --cachepool vg/pool -l1
lvcreate --type cache-pool vg/pool -l1
lvcreate --type cache-pool --name pool vg -l1
... and many many more ...
--splitcache
Splits only cached LV (also pool could be specified).
Detaches cachepool from cached LV.
--split
Should be univerzal command to split various complex targets.
At this moment it knows cache.
--uncache
Opposite command to --cache. Detaches and DELETES cachepool for
cached LV.
Note: we support thin pool cached metadata device for uncaching.
Also use may specify wither cached LV or association cachepool device
to request split of cache.
Over the time lvcreate code has accumulated various hacks.
So try to move that code in right places.
Detect all types early in _lvcreate_params() so functions like
_read_size_params() do not need to change volume types.
Also ultimately respect give volume --type, that its shortcut
(-T, H, -m, -s) and after that options which do type estimation.
(i.e. --cachepool, --thinpool)
Avoid repeative tests - if we know all types are decode at once
place we can 'optimize' number of validations.
Copy the same form as the new process_each_vg.
Replace unused struct cmd_vg and cmd_vg_read() replicator
code with struct vg and vg_read() directly.
The failed_lvnames arg is no longer used since the
cmd_vg replicator wrapper was removed.
[Committed by agk with cosmetic changes and tweaks.]
Split VG argument collection from processing.
This allows the two different loops through VGs to
be replaced by a single loop.
Replace unused struct cmd_vg and cmd_vg_read() replicator
code with struct vg and vg_read() directly.
[Committed by agk with cosmetic changes and tweaks.]
The cache mode of a new cache pool is always explicitly
included in the vg metadata. If a cache mode is not
specified on the command line, the cache mode is taken
from lvm.conf allocation/cache_pool_cachemode, which
defaults to "writethrough".
The cache mode can be displayed with lvs -o+cachemode.
There are actually three filter chains if lvmetad is used:
- cmd->lvmetad_filter used when when scanning devices for lvmetad
- cmd->filter used when processing lvmetad responses
- cmd->full_fiilter (which is just cmd->lvmetad_filter + cmd->filter chained together) used
for remaining situations
This patch adds the third one - "cmd->full_filter" - currently this is
used if device processing does not fall into any of the groups before,
for example, devices which does not have the PV label yet and we're just
creating a new one or we're processing the devices where the list of the
devices (PVs) is not returned by lvmetad initially.
Currently, the cmd->full_filter is used exactly in these functions:
- lvmcache_label_scan
- _pvcreate_check
- pvcreate_vol
- lvmdiskscan
- pvscan
- _process_each_label
If lvmetad is used, then simply cmd->full_filter == cmd->filter because
cmd->lvmetad_filter is NULL in this case.
The ENABLE_ALL_DEVS flag is added to the command structure
for commands that should process all devs (pvs and non-pvs)
when they call process_each_pv and the command includes the
--all arg. This will be used in a later process_each_pv patch.
The ALL_VGS_IS_DEFAULT flag is added to the command structure
for commands that should process all vgs when they call
process_each_vg or process_each_lv with no args.
This will be used in later patches to process_each functions.
We need to use proper filter chain when we disable lvmetad use
explicitly in the code by calling lvmetad_set_active(0) while
overriding existing configuration. We need to reinitialize filters
in this case so proper filter chain is used. The same applies
for the other way round - when we enable lvmetad use explicitly in
the code (though this is not yet used).
Currently, there are 5 things that device_is_usable function checks
(for DM devices only, of course):
- is device empty?
- is device blocked? (mirror)
- is device suspended?
- is device composed of an error target?
- is device name/uuid reserved?
If answer to any of these questions is "yes", then the device is not usable.
This patch just adds possibility to choose what to check for exactly - the
device_is_usable function now accepts struct dev_usable_check_params make
this selection possible. This is going to be used by subsequent patches.
Split internals of extract_vgname into _extract_vgname.
This common code will be used for other similar function.
Reuse skip_dev_dir() instead of less mature coded to skip
device dir.
Instead of duplicating full vg/lv name - allocate string
only vg portion of lv name.
We are not using already defined segement type names where we could.
There is a lot of other places in device-mapper and LVM2 we have those
hardcoded so we should better finally have a common interface in
libdevmapper to avoid this.
Use of lv_info() internally in lv_check_not_in_use(),
so it always could use with_open_count properly.
Skip sysfs() testing in open_count == 0 case.
Accept just 'lv' pointer like other functions.
The function has 'built-in' lv_is_active_locally check,
which however is not what we need to check in many place.
For now at least remotely active snapshot merge is
detected and for this case merge on next activation is scheduled.
Move check for snapshot-merge support before archiving.
Split code on 2 paths - with merge_on_activate
using vg_write & vg_commit
and lv_update_reload call for instant merging.
Move printing after backup.
Before leaving _activate_lvs_in_vg() wait till devices
are active - so we do not print message about active
devices earlier then it really happens for a user.
More validations before any thin or cache related conversion begins.
We allow to use and stack:
pool data: cache or raid
pool metadata: raid
pool: linear, striped
cache: linear, striped, raid
thin(extorig): linear, origin, cow, virtual, thin
We use adjusted_mirror_region_size() in two different contexts.
Either on command line -
here we do want to inform user about reduction of size.
Or in pvmove activation context -
here we should only use 'verbose' info.
Do not let fly metadata with just 'minor' set
(since they would not be readable on older version)
Be permissive with invalid major/minor number and
just report them as problem, but allow to use
such metadata with default major:minor.
We do not need to restore LV content on error path - since
for reactivation we always use ondisk/commited metadata,
so passed data are never used.
Drop some unneded extra message, since the called function
repeated logs same info.
Move common code for reading and processing
of --persistent arguments for lvcreate and lvchange
into lvmcmdline.
Reuse validate_major_minor() routine for validation.
Don't blindly activate LVs after change in cluster
and instead only local reactivation is supported.
(we have now many limited targets now).
Dropping 'sigint_caught()' handling, since
prompt() is resolving this case itself.
If we want to support conversion of VG to clustered type,
we currently need to relock active LV to get proper DLM lock.
So add extra loop after change of VG clustered attribute
to exlusively activate all active top level LVs.
When doing change -cy -> -cn we should validate LVs are not
active on other cluster nodes - we could be sure about this only
when with local exclusive activation - for other types
we require user to deactivate volumes first.
As a workaround for this limitation there is always
locking_type = 0 which amongs other skip the detection
of active LVs.
FIXME:
clvmd should handle looks for cluster locking type all the time.
Failure to copy the 'feature_flags' lvconvert_param to the matching
lv_segment field meant that when a user specified the cachemode argument,
the request was not honored.
Try to enforce consistent macro usage along these lines:
lv_is_mirror - mirror that uses the original dm-raid1 implementation
(segment type "mirror")
lv_is_mirror_type - also includes internal mirror image and log LVs
lv_is_raid - raid volume that uses the new dm-raid implementation
(segment type "raid")
lv_is_raid_type - also includes internal raid image / log / metadata LVs
lv_is_mirrored - LV is mirrored using either kernel implementation
(excludes non-mirror modes like raid5 etc.)
lv_is_pvmove - internal pvmove volume
Use lv_is_* macros throughout the code base, introducing
lv_is_pvmove, lv_is_locked, lv_is_converting and lv_is_merging.
lv_is_mirror_type no longer includes pvmove.
This message should be printed only for activation commands,
however since the handling of this flag is not correct
(rhbz 1140029) and will require further changes,
do now just a minor change and switch message into log_debug
(so it's not printed i.e. with every 'lvs -v')
Use lv_update_and_reload() and lv_update_and_reload_origin()
to handle write/suspend/commit/resume sequence.
In few places this properly handle vg_revert() after suspend failure,
and also ensures there is metadata backup after successful vg_commit().
When testing conversion sanity, we checked lv->status & MIRRORED
which encompasses both old mirrors and raid1 mirrors. But we need to
ban only the old mirrors here hence allow raid1 mirrors.
The lv_type_name function is remnant from old code that reported
only single string for the LV type. LV types are now reported
in a more extended way as keyword list that describe the type
precisely (using lv_layout_and_type fn).
The lv_type_name was used in some error messages to display the
type of the LV so just reinstate the old messages back referencing
the type directly with a string - this is enough for error messages.
They don't need to display the LV type as precisely as it's used
on lvs output (which is optimized for selection anyway).
This patch adds a new flag --deferred to dmsetup remove. If this flag is
specified and the device is open, it is scheduled to be deleted on
close.
struct dm_info is extended.
The existing dm_task_get_info() is converted into a wrapper around the
new version dm_task_get_info_with_deferred_remove() so existing binaries
can still use the old smaller structure.
Recompiled code will pick up the new larger structure.
From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com>
When ignoring 'listed' volume, print info message.
(So the final command error message is a bit less confusing,
i.e. when user tries to deactive virtual origin:
> lvchange -an vg/lvol2_vorigin
Ignoring virtual origin logical volume vg/lvol2_vorigin.
One or more specified logical volume(s) not found.
_pvcreate_check() has two missing requirements:
After refreshing filters there must be a rescan.
(Otherwise the persistent filter may remain empty.)
After wiping a signature, the filters must be refreshed.
(A device that was previously excluded by the filter due to
its signature might now need to be included.)
If several devices are added at once, the repeated scanning isn't
strictly needed, but we can address that later as part of the command
processing restructuring (by grouping the devices).
Replace the new pvcreate code added by commit
54685c20fc "filters: fix regression caused
by commit e80884cd080cad7e10be4588e3493b9000649426"
with this change to _pvcreate_check().
The filter refresh problem dates back to commit
acb4b5e4de "Fix pvcreate device check."
With cmirrord, we can do pvmove of clustered mirror. The code checking
suitability of LVs on the PV being moved issued a message if a mirror
LV was found and the VG was clustered. However, the actual pvmove did
work correctly.
The top-level mirror LV is actually skipped in the code since it's
always layered on top of internal LVs making up the mirror LV and for pvmove
we consider these internal devices only as they're actually layered on
top of concrete PVs then. But we don't need to issue any message here
about skipping the top-level mirror LV - it's misleading here.
Commit e80884cd08 tried to dump filters
for them to be reevaluated when creating a PV to avoid overwriting
any existing signature that may have been created after last
scan/filtering.
However, we need to call refresh_filters instead of
persistent_filter->dump since dump requires proper rescannig to fill
up the persistent filter again. However, this is true only for pvcreate
but not for vgcreate with PV creation where the scanning happens before
this PV creation and hence the next rescan (if not full scan), does not
fill the persistent filter.
Also, move refresh_filters so that it's called sooner and only for
pvcreate, vgcreate already calls lvmcache_label_scan(cmd, 2) which
then calls refresh_filters itself, so no need to reevaluate this again.
This caused the persistent filter (/etc/lvm/cache/.cache file) to be
wrong and contain only the PV just being processed with
vgcreate <vg_name> <pv_name_to_create>.
This regression caused other block devices to be filtered out in case
the vgcreate with PV creation was used and then the persistent filter
is used by any other LVM command afterwards.
Fix get_pool_params to only read params.

TODO: the code path for mirror needs update.
Major update of lvconvert code to handle cache and thin.
related targets.
Code tries to unify handling of cache and thin pools.
Better supports lvm2 syntax:
lvconvert --type cache --cachepool vg/pool vg/cache
lvconvert --type thin --thinpool vg/pool vg/extorg
lvconvert --type cache-pool vg/pool
lvconvert --type thin-pool vg/pool
as well as:
lvconvert --cache --cachepool vg/pool vg/cache
lvconvert --thin --thinpool vg/pool vg/extorg
lvconvert --cachepool vg/pool
lvconvert --thinpool vg/pool
While catching much more command line errors.
(Yet couple paths still needs more tests)
Detects as much cmdline errors prior opening VG.
Uses single lvconvert_name_params to convert LV names.
Detects as much incompatibilies in VG prior prompting.
Uses single prompt to confirm whole conversion.
TODO: still the code needs fixes...
Since the type passed LV is changed and content of data detroyed,
query user with prompt to confirm this operation.
Also add a proper wiping of header.
Using '--yes' will skip this prompt:
lvconvert -s --yes vg/lv vg/lvcow
If the lv_info call fails for whatever reason/INFO dm ioctl fails or
the dm driver communication is disabled (--driverloaded n), make
sure we always display "unknown" for LVSINFO fields as that's exactly
what happens - we don't know the state.
Before the patch:
$ lvs -o name,device_open --driverloaded n
WARNING: Activation disabled. No device-mapper interaction will be attempted.
Command failed with status code 5.
With this patch applied:
$ lvs -o name,device_open --driverloaded n
WARNING: Activation disabled. No device-mapper interaction will be attempted.
LV DevOpen
lvol1 unknown
Currently, we have two modes of activation, an unnamed nominal mode
(which I will refer to as "complete") and "partial" mode. The
"complete" mode requires that a volume group be 'complete' - that
is, no missing PVs. If there are any missing PVs, no affected LVs
are allowed to activate - even RAID LVs which might be able to
tolerate a failure. The "partial" mode allows anything to be
activated (or at least attempted). If a non-redundant LV is
missing a portion of its addressable space due to a device failure,
it will be replaced with an error target. RAID LVs will either
activate or fail to activate depending on how badly their
redundancy is compromised.
This patch adds a third option, "degraded" mode. This mode can
be selected via the '--activationmode {complete|degraded|partial}'
option to lvchange/vgchange. It can also be set in lvm.conf.
The "degraded" activation mode allows RAID LVs with a sufficient
level of redundancy to activate (e.g. a RAID5 LV with one device
failure, a RAID6 with two device failures, or RAID1 with n-1
failures). RAID LVs with too many device failures are not allowed
to activate - nor are any non-redundant LVs that may have been
affected. This patch also makes the "degraded" mode the default
activation mode.
The degraded activation mode does not yet work in a cluster. A
new cluster lock flag (LCK_DEGRADED_MODE) will need to be created
to make that work. Currently, there is limited space for this
extra flag and I am looking for possible solutions. One possible
solution is to usurp LCK_CONVERT, as it is not used. When the
locking_type is 3, the degraded mode flag simply gets dropped and
the old ("complete") behavior is exhibited.
There was missing lv_info call for situations where there were
mixed PV/LV segment fields together with LVSINFO fields which
require extra lv_info call for LV device status. This ended up
with NULL lvinfo passed to the field reporting functions, hence
the segfault.
The --binary option, if used, causes all the binary values reported
in reporting commands to be displayed as "0" or "1" instead of descriptive
literal values (value "unknown" is still used for values that could not be
determined).
Also, add report/binary_values_as_numeric lvm.conf option with the same
functionality as the --binary option (the --binary option prevails
if both --binary cmd option and report/binary_values_as_numeric lvm.conf
option is used at the same time). The report/binary_values_as_numeric is
also profilable.
This makes it easier to use and check lvm reporting command output in scripts.
LVSINFO is exactly the same as existing LVS report type,
but it has the "struct lvinfo" populated in addition for
use - this is useful for fields that display the status
of the LV device itself (e.g. suspended state, tables
present/missing...).
Currently, such properties are reported within the "lv_attr"
field so separation is unnecessary - the "lvinfo" call
to populate the "struct lvinfo" is directly a part of the
field reporting function - _lvstatus_disp/lv_attr_dup.
With upcoming patches, we'd like the lv_attr field bits
to be separated into their own fields. To avoid calling
"lvinfo" fn as many times as there are fields requiring
the "lv_info" structure to be populated while reporting
one row related to one LV, we're separating former LVS
into LVS and LVSINFO report type. With this, there's
just one "lvinfo" call for one report row and LV reporting
fields will take the info needed from this struct then,
hence reusing it and not calling "lvinfo" fn on their own.
Mention parent LV as well as the LV triggering the warning.
Still leaves some confusing cases but its not worth fixing them
at the moment.
(Thin pool inactive but a thin volume active => deactivate thin vol.
Inactive mirror/raid with pvmove in progress => complete pvmove and
active&deactivate mirror/raid.
If new VG already exists it requires some LVs to be inactive
unnecessarily.)
mirror_or_raid_type_requested really checks for mirror type.
Convert macros mirror_or_raid_type_requested() and
snapshot_type_requested() into inline functions.
Since vg_name inside /lib function has already been ignored mostly
except for a few debug prints - make it and official internal API
feature.
vg_name is used only in /tools while the VG is not yet openned,
and when lvresize/lvcreate /lib function is called with VG pointer
already being used, then vg_name becomes irrelevant (it's not been
validated anyway).
So any internal user of lvcreate_params and lvresize_params does not
need to set vg_name pointer and may leave it NULL.
Making "help" and "?" implicit also simplifies code since the
dm_report_init caller (lvm/dmsetup) doesn't need to check on
dm_report_init return whether "help" or "?" was hit while parsing
fields/sort keys in libdevmapper.
The libdevmapper now sets internal "RH_ALREADY_REPORTED" flag
after it reports the "help" or "?" implicit field. Then libdevmapper
itself checks for this flag in dm_report_object and if found,
the actual reporting is skipped (because the "help" implicit field
was reported instead of the actual report).
pvmove can be used to move single LVs by name or multiple LVs that
lie within the specified PV range (e.g. /dev/sdb1:0-1000). When
moving more than one LV, the portions of those LVs that are in the
range to be moved are added to a new temporary pvmove LV. The LVs
then point to the range in the pvmove LV, rather than the PV
range.
Example 1:
We have two LVs in this example. After they were
created, the first LV was grown, yeilding two segments
in LV1. So, there are two LVs with a total of three
segments.
Before pvmove:
--------- --------- ---------
| LV1s0 | | LV2s0 | | LV1s1 |
--------- --------- ---------
| | |
-------------------------------------
PV | 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 | 512 - 767 |
-------------------------------------
After pvmove inserts the temporary pvmove LV:
--------- --------- ---------
| LV1s0 | | LV2s0 | | LV1s1 |
--------- --------- ---------
| | |
-------------------------------------
pvmove0 | seg 0 | seg 1 | seg 2 |
-------------------------------------
| | |
-------------------------------------
PV | 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 | 512 - 767 |
-------------------------------------
Each of the affected LV segments now point to a
range of blocks in the pvmove LV, which purposefully
corresponds to the segments moved from the original
LVs into the temporary pvmove LV.
The current implementation goes on from here to mirror the temporary
pvmove LV by segment. Further, as the pvmove LV is activated, only
one of its segments is actually mirrored (i.e. "moving") at a time.
The rest are either complete or not addressed yet. If the pvmove
is aborted, those segments that are completed will remain on the
destination and those that are not yet addressed or in the process
of moving will stay on the source PV. Thus, it is possible to have
a partially completed move - some LVs (or certain segments of LVs)
on the source PV and some on the destination.
Example 2:
What 'example 1' might look if it was half-way
through the move.
--------- --------- ---------
| LV1s0 | | LV2s0 | | LV1s1 |
--------- --------- ---------
| | |
-------------------------------------
pvmove0 | seg 0 | seg 1 | seg 2 |
-------------------------------------
| | |
| -------------------------
source PV | | 256 - 511 | 512 - 767 |
| -------------------------
| ||
-------------------------
dest PV | 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 |
-------------------------
This update allows the user to specify that they would like the
pvmove mirror created "by LV" rather than "by segment". That is,
the pvmove LV becomes an image in an encapsulating mirror along
with the allocated copy image.
Example 3:
A pvmove that is performed "by LV" rather than "by segment".
--------- ---------
| LV1s0 | | LV2s0 |
--------- ---------
| |
-------------------------
pvmove0 | * LV-level mirror * |
-------------------------
/ \
pvmove_mimage0 / pvmove_mimage1
------------------------- -------------------------
| seg 0 | seg 1 | | seg 0 | seg 1 |
------------------------- -------------------------
| | | |
------------------------- -------------------------
| 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 | | 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 |
------------------------- -------------------------
source PV dest PV
The thing that differentiates a pvmove done in this way and a simple
"up-convert" from linear to mirror is the preservation of the
distinct segments. A normal up-convert would simply allocate the
necessary space with no regard for segment boundaries. The pvmove
operation must preserve the segments because they are the critical
boundary between the segments of the LVs being moved. So, when the
pvmove copy image is allocated, all corresponding segments must be
allocated. The code that merges ajoining segments that are part of
the same LV when the metadata is written must also be avoided in
this case. This method of mirroring is unique enough to warrant its
own definitional macro, MIRROR_BY_SEGMENTED_LV. This joins the two
existing macros: MIRROR_BY_SEG (for original pvmove) and MIRROR_BY_LV
(for user created mirrors).
The advantages of performing pvmove in this way is that all of the
LVs affected can be moved together. It is an all-or-nothing approach
that leaves all LV segments on the source PV if the move is aborted.
Additionally, a mirror log can be used (in the future) to provide tracking
of progress; allowing the copy to continue where it left off in the event
there is a deactivation.
Make dm_report_init_with_selection to accept an argument with an
array of reserved values where each element contains a triple:
{dm report field type, reserved value, array of strings representing this value}
When the selection is parsed, we always check whether a string
representation of some reserved value is not hit and if it is,
we use the reserved value assigned for this string instead of
trying to parse it as a value of certain field type.
This makes it possible to define selections like:
... --select lv_major=undefined (or -1 or unknown or undef or whatever string representations are registered for this reserved value in the future)
... --select lv_read_ahead=auto
... --select vg_mda_copies=unmanaged
With this, each time the field value of certain type is hit
and when we compare it with the selection, we use the proper
value for comparison.
For now, register these reserved values that are used at the moment
(also more descriptive names are used for the values):
const uint64_t _reserved_number_undef_64 = UINT64_MAX;
const uint64_t _reserved_number_unmanaged_64 = UINT64_MAX - 1;
const uint64_t _reserved_size_auto_64 = UINT64_MAX;
{
{DM_REPORT_FIELD_TYPE_NUMBER, _reserved_number_undef_64, {"-1", "undefined", "undef", "unknown", NULL}},
{DM_REPORT_FIELD_TYPE_NUMBER, _reserved_number_unmanaged_64, {"unmanaged", NULL}},
{DM_REPORT_FIELD_TYPE_SIZE, _reserved_size_auto_64, {"auto", NULL}},
NULL
}
Same reserved value of different field types do not collide.
All arrays are null-terminated.
The list of reserved values is automatically displayed within
selection help output:
Selection operands
------------------
...
Reserved values
---------------
-1, undefined, undef, unknown - Reserved value for undefined numeric value. [number]
unmanaged - Reserved value for unmanaged number of metadata copies in VG. [number]
auto - Reserved value for size that is automatically calculated. [size]
Selection operators
-------------------
...
The "<lvm command> -S/--select help" shows help (including list of fields to match against):
...field list here including the field type name...
Selection operands
------------------
field - Reporting field.
number - Non-negative integer value.
size - Floating point value with units specified.
string - Characters quoted by ' or " or unquoted.
string list - Strings enclosed by [ ] and elements delimited by either
"all items must match" or "at least one item must match" operator.
regular expression - Characters quoted by ' or " or unquoted.
Selection operators
-------------------
Comparison operators:
=~ - Matching regular expression.
!~ - Not matching regular expression.
= - Equal to.
!= - Not equal to.
>= - Greater than or equal to.
> - Greater than
<= - Less than or equal to.
< - Less than.
Logical and grouping operators:
&& - All fields must match
, - All fields must match
|| - At least one field must match
# - At least one field must match
! - Logical negation
( - Left parenthesis
) - Right parenthesis
[ - List start
] - List end
The list of strings is used quite frequently and we'd like to reuse
this simple structure for report selection support too. Make it part
of libdevmapper for general reuse throughout the code.
This also simplifies the LVM code a bit since we don't need to
include and manage lvm-types.h anymore (the string list was the
only structure defined there).
This makes it easier to check against the fields (following patches for
report selection) and check whether size units are allowed or not
with the field value.
Use NAME_LEN constant to simplify creation of device name.
Since the max size should be already tested in validation,
throw INTERNAL_ERROR if the size of vg/lv is bigger then NAME_LEN.
Let's use the size of origin as the real base for percenta calculation,
and 'silenly' add needed metadata space for snapshot.
So now command 'lvcreate -s -l100%ORIGIN vg/lv' should always create a
snapshot to handle full device overwrite.
Expresing -lXX%LV is not valid for snapshot, but error message for
snapshost case was not complete and missed %ORIGIN.
Also document correct settings for in manpage properly where
it missed %PVS.
