As dm_report_field_string() doesn't modify content of data pointer,
it can be marked as const.
It's slight API change - but doesn't require any change on the user side
and supports wider range of arguments without const casting.
(i.e. we may use as paramater const lv struct this way: &lv->name)
This is to avoid any scanning and processing of DM devices while they are in
suspended state (e.g. a rename while the device is suspended - a CHANGE event
is generated!). Otherwise, any scanning in the rules could end up with locking
the calling process until the device is resumed and so we don't receive a
notification about udev rules completion until then (and that effectively
locks out the process awaiting the notification!).
However, we still keep 'disk' and any 'subsystem' related udev rules running.
We trust these and these should check themselves whether a device is suspended
or not, not trying to run any scanning if it is.
Fix assert abort of dmsetup (when compiled with pool debug)
dmsetup splitname --nameprefixes --noheadings --rows gvg-a2
Move pool begin in the inner loop - otherwise it would using
already 'ended' pool object.
Change API interface to accept even completely const array patterns.
This should present no change for libdm users and allows to pass
pattern arrays without cast to const char **.
Detect existence of new SELinux selabel interface during configure.
Use new dm_prepare_selinux_context instead of dm_set_selinux_context.
We should set the SELinux context before the actual file system object creation.
The new dm_prepare_selinux_context function sets this using the selabel_lookup
fn in conjuction with the setfscreatecon fn. If selinux/label.h interface
(that should be a part of the selinux library) is not found during configure,
we fallback to the original matchpathcon function instead.
Fix memory leak of field_id in _output_field function.
There's been a patch added recently to use dynamic allocation for metadata
tags buffer to remove the 4k limit (for writing metadata out). However, when
using reporting commands like vgs and lvs, we still need to fix libdm reporting
functions themselves to support such long outputs. So the buffer used in those
reporting functions is dynamic now.
The patch also includes a fix for field_id memory leak which was found in
the _output_field function.
We can't rely on the fact that udev should prepare the node with right major
and minor number to trigger the module autoloading. We have to take into
account that the node could be missing or it could exist with improper
major and minor number assigned (e.g. from previous kernel versions in
an environment with static nodes and without udev). Make any corrections
if needed!
This can happen with older rules (without support for synthesized events)
that are still part of initrd while using new udev rules in the system itself.
The consequence was that new udev rules incorrectly assumed that not having
DM_UDEV_PRIMARY_SOURCE_FLAG set always means the uevent is synthesized and
inappropriate (device is still not properly activated) and so it should be
ignored. However, initrd is not updated automatically while updating the
libdevmapper/udev rules in the system and so we end up with the rules not
detecting and setting crucial parts in the initrd environment and the rules
in the system that rely on the information that should have been stored in
udev db (which is incorrect in this configuration, of course).
The overall consequence is that the update of libdevmapper/lvm2 without
regenerating the initrd could end up with a boot failure! Ignoring the event
means removing any existing symlinks in /dev!
To fix this, increase udev rules version to make a difference. So from now on,
mark rules without proper support for synthesized events as
DM_UDEV_RULES_VSN="1" and 2 (or higher) if that support is included.
We still need to detect this one! We're not so strict with CHANGE events as
with the ADD events while applying filters in the rules so this one would
pass and it would process the rules prematurely (because it appears *before*
the actual CHANGE event used when resuming a DM device while setting read-only
state at the same time).
udev_sync feature requires semaphores (part of System V IPC) to be configured
in kernel (CONFIG_SYSVIPC). Check whether it is supported and if not, give
a warning message and disable udev synchronisation code automatically to
avoid any further error states and associated problems.
One should use the kernel with System V IPC support enabled or libdevmapper
with udev_sync feature disabled.
Switch dmeventd to use dm_create_lockfile and drop duplicate code.
Allow clvmd pidfile to be configurable.
Switch cmirrord and clvmd to use dm_create_lockfile.
For now, this is just a precaution. Normally, all the other (non-dm) rules
should check DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES_FLAG and therefore avoid setting
any inotify watches as well. But let's make sure.
Support for final assignment of the "nowatch" rule (the use of ":=") will
appear in next udev release, v160. This should also work in previous udev
versions but the setting won't be sealed so any further OPTIONS="watch" will
always prevail there.
We may want to add more specific "nowatch" rules later if needed.
We can use DM_UDEV_PRIMARY_SOURCE_FLAG to identify the spurious events
and use it as an indication that the device has already been activated before
(and hence we can find this property in udev database).
WARNING: This change requires udev startup script to preserve udev database
from initrd. All the information stored there during activation of devices
is important for the initial "udevadm trigger --action=add" call that is
used in udev startup script. If not done this way, udev startup script needs
to define DM_UDEV_PRIMARY_SOURCE_FLAG=1 property for any ADD events it uses.
A kernel patch is on its way for 2.6.35 adding support for dm-mod module
autoload. Udev v155 and higher is able to read static node information given
in modules.devname (extracted by depmod before) and will create such nodes
at its start. The first access to such node will load the module automatically
(directly in kernel) before the actual read/write operation is processed.
This rule appeared in udev v152 and it helps us to support spurious events
where we didn't have any flags set (events originated in udevadm trigger
or the watch rule). These flags are important to direct the rule application.
Now, with the help of this rule, we can regenerate old udev db content.
To implement this correctly, we need to flag all proper DM udev events with
DM_UDEV_PRIMARY_SOURCE_FLAG. That happens automatically for all ioctls
generating events originated in libdevmapper.
This prevents some confusion when libudev was not found so udev_sync was disabled
automatically. Configure was successful though giving only a tiny warning.
Also, if "dmsetup udevcreatecookie" is used, never return 0x000000 as a result if
udev is not running and keep the output blank.
We need to know whether we should wait for any uevent or not when
using udev_sync. A kernel patch was posted recently that changed the
way uevents are sent on dm device resume - it is sent only if the
device has been suspended before. There's also a new DM_UEVENT_GENERATED_FLAG
in the ioctl to notify userspace whether the event was generated.
If the uevent was not generated (e.g. the situation where the device is
*not* suspended and we call a resume), we just call dm_udev_complete
explicitly from within libdevmapper itself to prevent infinite waiting
while trying to synchronise with udev processing.
- add DM_UDEV_DISABLE_LIBRARY_FALLBACK udev flag to rely on udev only
- export dm_udev_create_cookie function to create new cookies on demand
- add --udevcookie, udevcreatecookie and udevreleasecookie for dmsetup
(to support "udev transactions" where one cookie value can be used for
several dmsetup calls)
- don't use DM_UDEV_DISABLE_CHECKING env. var. anymore and set the state
automatically (based on udev and libdevmapper dev path comparison)
Sometimes it is really needed to switch off udev checking and the warnings we show when
we detect that udev has not done its job right - the messages like "Udev should have done
this and that. Falling back to direct node creation/removal. " etc.
This would be especially handy while setting DM_DEV_DIR env var that could be set to a
different location than standard /dev (udev can't create nodes/symlinks out of that one
directory that is configured into udevd). The exact same situation happens while we're
running our tests.
There's a new change udev event generated since kernel 2.6.32 that
notifies userspace about a change in read-only attribute for block
devices (with DISK_RO=1 environment variable set).
We need to detect this and disable the rule application so the
meaning of this change event is not interchanged with the regular
change event used while resuming/renaming DM devices.
If there's anybody awaiting this notification in foreign rules,
he can still check for this env var and do the appropriate actions
separately.
This provides better support for environments where udev rules are installed
but udev_sync is not compiled in (however, using udev_sync is highly
recommended). It also provides consistent and expected functionality even
when '--noudevsync' option is used.
There is still requirement for kernel >= 2.6.31 for the flags to work though
(it uses DM cookies to pass the flags into the kernel and set them in udev
event environment that we can read in udev rules).
'last_rule' option has been removed from udev (version >= 147).
From now on, we require foreign rules to check and honor
ENV{DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES_FLAG} instead. Foreign
rules should be skipped totally when this flag is set.
- remove default permissions set in 95-dm-notify.rules (and add a hint in 12-dm-permissions.rules to set it by the user directly)
- add multipath DM_ACTION=="PATH_FAILED" filter
- remove unnecessary filters in the headers of the rules (we can simply use DM_UDEV_RULES_VSN instead)
- fix symlink priorities in /dev/disk/ (snapshot volumes have low priority for FS UUID symlinks so it will not overwrite symlinks for the origin)
The device-mapper mirror CTR table has been changing over time. This has
now been corrected to handle the old and new methods for invoking the
'block_on_errors' and 'cluster' features. (The code that does this was
accidentally committed in the previous check-in. This check-in finishes
the job.)
Is an application uses query and set major:minor
to device, it should not fallback to default major by default.
Add new function whoich allows that (and use it in lvm2).
- it can support multiple segments, but note that
to work properly, correct IV (initialization vector)
offset parameter must be set properly.
Because most usage of IV start offset is when we join
several crypto segments together (so iv_offset is the segment
start offset), DM_CRYPT_IV_DEFAULT is defined to simplify
the process.
Function accepts the string in cipher agrument (already
including chainmode and iv type; chainmode and iv parameters are NULL
in this case) or user can provide split parameters which will
join into dm-crypt cipher specification "cipher-chainmode-iv".
All these parameters must be supplied in correct dm-crypt format.
For example in LVM2, "pv_all" gives all PV fields.
"seg_all" gives all LV segment fields.
"all" gives all fields of the final report type. I think this is more
useful than just adding the current prefix.
So "lvs -o seg_all" gives all the LV segment fields, whilst
"lvs --segments -o all" adds in LV and VG fields too.
"lvs -o all -O vg_name" has report type LVS+VGS so includes all LV and all
VG fields.
Checks added for DM device names to allow only names < DM_NAME_LEN,
otherwise a part of lengthy name would be silently ignored and could
cause confusion while using dmsetup. Also, the name should not contain
'/' character, if it is used in context of creating a new device
or renaming the existing one (because we do not consider full path
to devices, they do not exist in filesystem yet) and appropriate error
messages are shown.
