Two of the sync actions performed by the kernel (aka MD runtime) are
"resync" and "recover". The "resync" refers to when an entirely new array
is going through the process of initializing (or resynchronizing after an
unexpected shutdown). The "recover" is the process of initializing a new
member device to the array. So, a brand new array with all new devices
will undergo "resync". An array with replaced or added sub-LVs will undergo
"recover".
These two states are treated very differently when failures happen. If any
device is lost or replaced while "resync", there are no worries. This is
because any writes created from the inception of the array have occurred to
all the devices and can be safely recovered. Even though non-initialized
portions will still be resync'ed with uninitialized data, it is ok. However,
if a pre-existing device is lost (aka, the original linear device in a
linear -> raid1 convert) during a "recover", data loss can be the result.
Thus, writes are errored by the kernel and recovery is halted. The failed
device must be restored or removed. This is the correct behavior.
Unfortunately, we were treating an up-convert from linear as a "resync"
when we should have been treating it as a "recover". This patch
removes the special case for linear upconvert. It allows each new image
sub-LV to be marked with a rebuild flag and treats the array as 'in-sync'.
This has the correct effect of causing the upconvert to be treated as a
"recover" rather than a "resync". There is no need to flag these two states
differently in LVM metadata, because they are already considered differently
by the kernel RAID metadata. (Any activation/deactivation will properly
resume the "recover" process and not a "resync" process.)
We make this behavior change based on the presense of dm-raid target
version 1.9.0+.
Code path missed validation of lvcreate --cachepool argument.
If the non cache-pool LV was passed in, code has still continued
further work and failed later on internal error. Validate this
condition at right place now.
With recent updates for thin pool monitoring in version 169
we lost multiple WARNINGs to be printed in syslog, when
pool crossed 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 100%.
Restore this logic as we want to keep user informed more
then just once when 80% boundary is passed.
If the device size does not match the size requested
by --setphysicalvolumesize, then prompt the user.
Make the pvcreate checking/prompting code handle
multiple prompts for the same device, since the
new prompt can be in addition to the existing
prompt when the PV is in a VG.
When metadata LV size was over DM_THIN_MAX_METADATA_SIZE sectors,
the info() routine was incorrectly trying to match bigger size,
while we do never pass any bigger device.
Fixing a case, where lvs should be displaying status for metadata
LV with 16GB size.
Reshape check failed when regionsize changed and current raid type
was provided with no other change requested (stripes or stripesize).
E.g. "lvconvert --type raid6 --regionsize 256K" on a raid6 LV
with != 256K regionsize.
Enable --type in test script.
lvconvert should not leak 'error' device.
(This patch is not fix the problem, just makes it more easily visible
instead of more confusing 'clvmd' trace).
Since we want to test different cache policies with profiles mq&smq
raise version to 1.8.
TODO: maybe split in more tests so older targets can test here as well.
N.B.: passthrough is also not supported with version 1.3
If SubLVs to be removed still exist after an image removing
conversion (i.e. "lvconvert --yes --force --stripes N "
with N < total stripes) any request to convert to a different
striped/raid* level has to be rejected until after those freed
SubLVs got removed by running the aforementioned lvconvert again.
Add tests to check conversion to striped/raid* gets rejected.
Enhance a test comment.

Adjust to final target version 1.10.1 supporting reshape
properly and to recently changed report field specifications
(e.g. rehape_len_le) to allow these tests to run.
Lower mirror region size to suite the tiny test VG.
Splitting off an image LV of a 2-legged
raid1 LV causes loss of resilience.
Ask user to avoid uninformed loss of all resilience.
Don't ask for N > 2 legged raid1 LVs.
Adjust tests.
During an ongoing reshape, the MD kernel runtime reads stripes relative
to data_offset and starts storing the reshaped stripes (with new raid
layout and/or new stripesize and/or new number of stripes) relative
to new_data_offset. This is to avoid writing over any data in place
which is non-atomic by nature and thus be recoverable without data loss
in the transition. MD uses the term out-of-place reshaping for it.
There's 2 other areas we don't have report capability for:
- number of data stripes vs. total stripes
(e.g. raid6 with 7 stripes toal has 5 data stripes)
- number of (rotating) parity/syndrome chunks
(e.g. raid6 with 7 stripes toal has 2 parity chunks; one
per stripe for P-Syndrome and another one for Q-Syndrome)
Thus, add the following reportable keys:
- reshape_len (in current units)
- reshape_len_le (in logical extents)
- data_offset (in sectors)
- new_data_offset ( " )
- data_stripes
- parity_chunks

lvconvert-raid-reshape-striped_to_linear.sh, lvconvert-raid-reshape.sh

The MD kernel raid1 personality does no use any writemostly leg as the primary.
In case a previous linear LV holding data gets upconverted to
raid1 it becomes the primary leg of the new raid1 LV and a full
resynchronization is started to update the new legs.
No writemostly and/or writebehind setting may be allowed during
this initial, full synchronization period of this new raid1 LV
(using the lvchange(8) command), because that would change the
primary (i.e the previous linear LV) thus causing data loss.
lvchange has a bug not preventing this scenario.
Fix rejects setting writemostly and/or writebehind on resychronizing raid1 LVs.
Once we have status in the lvm2 metadata about the linear -> raid upconversion,
we may relax this constraint for other types of resynchronization
(e.g. for user requested "lvchange --resync ").
New lvchange-raid1-writemostly.sh test is added to the test suite.

This is a new explicit version of 'lvconvert LV'
which has been an obscure way of triggering polling
to be restarted on an LV that was previously converted.
Lift all the snapshot utilities (merge, split, combine)
out of the monolithic lvconvert implementation, using
the command definitions. The old code associated with
these commands is now unused and will be removed separately.
. Define a prototype for every lvm command.
. Match every user command with one definition.
. Generate help text and man pages from them.
The new file command-lines.in defines a prototype for every
unique lvm command. A unique lvm command is a unique
combination of: command name + required option args +
required positional args. Each of these prototypes also
includes the optional option args and optional positional
args that the command will accept, a description, and a
unique string ID for the definition. Any valid command
will match one of the prototypes.
Here's an example of the lvresize command definitions from
command-lines.in, there are three unique lvresize commands:
lvresize --size SizeMB LV
OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force,
--nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync, --reportformat String, --resizefs,
--stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB, --poolmetadatasize SizeMB
OP: PV ...
ID: lvresize_by_size
DESC: Resize an LV by a specified size.
lvresize LV PV ...
OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force,
--nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync,
--reportformat String, --resizefs, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB
ID: lvresize_by_pv
DESC: Resize an LV by specified PV extents.
FLAGS: SECONDARY_SYNTAX
lvresize --poolmetadatasize SizeMB LV_thinpool
OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force,
--nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync,
--reportformat String, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB
OP: PV ...
ID: lvresize_pool_metadata_by_size
DESC: Resize a pool metadata SubLV by a specified size.
The three commands have separate definitions because they have
different required parameters. Required parameters are specified
on the first line of the definition. Optional options are
listed after OO, and optional positional args are listed after OP.
This data is used to generate corresponding command definition
structures for lvm in command-lines.h. usage/help output is also
auto generated, so it is always in sync with the definitions.
Every user-entered command is compared against the set of
command structures, and matched with one. An error is
reported if an entered command does not have the required
parameters for any definition. The closest match is printed
as a suggestion, and running lvresize --help will display
the usage for each possible lvresize command.
The prototype syntax used for help/man output includes
required --option and positional args on the first line,
and optional --option and positional args enclosed in [ ]
on subsequent lines.
command_name <required_opt_args> <required_pos_args>
[ <optional_opt_args> ]
[ <optional_pos_args> ]
Command definitions that are not to be advertised/suggested
have the flag SECONDARY_SYNTAX. These commands will not be
printed in the normal help output.
Man page prototypes are also generated from the same original
command definitions, and are always in sync with the code
and help text.
Very early in command execution, a matching command definition
is found. lvm then knows the operation being done, and that
the provided args conform to the definition. This will allow
lots of ad hoc checking/validation to be removed throughout
the code.
Each command definition can also be routed to a specific
function to implement it. The function is associated with
an enum value for the command definition (generated from
the ID string.) These per-command-definition implementation
functions have not yet been created, so all commands
currently fall back to the existing per-command-name
implementation functions.
Using per-command-definition functions will allow lots of
code to be removed which tries to figure out what the
command is meant to do. This is currently based on ad hoc
and complicated option analysis. When using the new
functions, what the command is doing is already known
from the associated command definition.

- region size checks to raid_manip.c types array and supporting functions

On conversions between striped/raid0* and raid4, the kernel expects
the dedicated raid4 parity SubLVs in the first segment area rather than
in the last it's been allocated to, thus the data mapping ain't proper.
Enhance lvconvert (lib/metadata/raid_manip.c) to shift the dedicated
parity SubLVs on conversions from striped/raid0* to raid4 and vice-versa.
In case of raid0_meta -> raid4 where the MD raid0 personality already has
stored RAID array device positions in the superblocks, the MetaLVs have to

after lvm has shifted them up by one.

Pre 1.9 dm-raid targets status output was racy, which caused
the device status chars to be unreliable _during_ synchronization.
This shows paritcularly with tiny test devices used.
Enhance lvchange-rebuild-raid.sh to not check status
chars _during_ synchronization. Just check afterwards.
Though I'm not quite sure why we push this limit on user,
current --repair logic requires user to wait outside of command.
TODO: I'm not quite sure this repair logic is 'the most wanted'.
The dm-raid target now rejects device rebuild requests during ongoing
resynchronization thus causing 'lvconvert --repair ...' to fail with
a kernel error message. This regresses with respect to failing automatic
repair via the dmeventd RAID plugin in case raid_fault_policy="allocate"
is configured in lvm.conf as well.
Previously allowing such repair request required cancelling the
resynchronization of any still accessible DataLVs, hence reasoning
potential data loss.
Patch allows the resynchronization of still accessible DataLVs to
finish up by rejecting any 'lvconvert --repair ...'.
It enhances the dmeventd RAID plugin to be able to automatically repair
by postponing the repair after synchronization ended.
More tests are added to lvconvert-rebuild-raid.sh to cover single
and multiple DataLV failure cases for the different RAID levels.

Allow RAID scrubbing on cache origin sub-LV
This patch adds the ability to perform RAID scrubbing on the cache

be further testing in a cluster (even for exclusive activation).
User can either specify directly _corig LV
or he can specify cache LV and operation --syncation is
passed ONLY to _corig LV.
If users wants to manipulation with cache-pool devices - he
needs to specify this object name.

RAID6 LVs may not be created with --nosync or data corruption
may occur in case of device failures. The underlying MD raid6

raid0 <-> raid4 takeover and full mirror <-> raid1 support.

Tests exposed a kernel semantics change freezing resynchronization
on conversions from raid0[_meta] -> raid4 or adding raid1 legs
because kernel kept the RAID mapped device in 'frozen' state unless
an 'idle' message was sent or the table was reloaded (kernel patch pending).
The MD raid6 personality being used to drive lvm raid6 LVs does
read-modify-write updates to any stripes and thus relies on correct
P and Q Syndromes being written during initial synchronization or
it may fail reconstructing proper user data in case of SubLVs failing.
We may not allow the '--nosync' option on
creation of raid6 LVs for that reason.
Update/fix 'man lvcreate' in that regard.

This patch fixes link validation for used thin-pool.
Udev rules correctly creates symlinks only for unused new thin-pool.
Such thin-pool can be used by foreing apps (like Docker) thus
has /dev/vg/lv link.
However when thin-pool becomes used by thinLV - this link is no
longer exposed to user - but internal verfication missed this
and caused messages like this to be printed upon 'vgchange -ay':
The link /dev/vg/pool should have been created by udev but it was not
found. Falling back to direct link creation.
And same with 'vgchange -an':
The link /dev/vg/pool should have been removed by udev but it is still
present. Falling back to direct link removal.
This patch ensures only unused thin-pool has this link.
Add new logic to identify each unique operation and route
it to the correct function to perform it. The functions
that perform the conversions remain unchanged.
This new code checks every allowed combination of LV type
and requested operation, and for each valid combination
calls the function that performs that conversion.
The first stage of option validation which checks for
incompatible combinations of command line options, is done
done before process_each is called. This is unchanged.
(This new code will allow that first stage validation to
be simplified in a future commit.)
The second stage of checking options against the specific
LV type is done by this new code. For each valid combination
of operation + LV type, the new code calls an existing
function that implements it.
With this in place, the ad hoc checks for valid combinations
of LV types and operations can be removed from the existing
code in a future commit.
(The #if 0 is used to keep the patch clean, and the
disabled code will be removed by a following patch.)
This refactors the code for autoactivation. Previously,
as each PV was found, it would be sent to lvmetad, and
the VG would be autoactivated using a non-standard VG
processing function (the "activation_handler") called via
a function pointer from within the lvmetad notification path.
Now, any scanning that the command needs to do (scanning
only the named device args, or scanning all devices when
there are no args), is done first, before any activation
is attempted. During the scans, the VG names are saved.
After scanning is complete, process_each_vg is used to do
autoactivation of the saved VG names. This makes pvscan
activation much more similar to activation done with
vgchange or lvchange.
The separate autoactivate phase also means that if lvmetad
is disabled (either before or during the scan), the command
can continue with the activation step by simply not using
lvmetad and reverting to disk scanning to do the
activation.
Add support for active cache LV.
Handle --cachemode args validation during command line processing.
Rework some lvm2 internal to use lvm2 defined CACHE_MODE enums
indepently on libdm defines and use enum around the code instead
of passing and comparing strings.
The test was a weak attempt at verifying the special
combination of lvchange/vgchange -aay --sysinit, but
was only looking for lvmetad connection warnings.
Update the warning checks, and check the LV activation
state directly which is the main point.
Rename the test to reflect its purpose of checking
the -aay --sysinit combination.
Update the check about lvmetad running but not used.
Also add tests related to the new lvmetad disabled state.
lvm1 metadata is used here to test the disabled state
because lvm1 metadata is the first condition using the
disabled state.
Improved test script to verify lost mirror image does not
cause mirror corruption while mirror is in use.
TODO: add more cases (lost mlog...), lost image from 3leg mirror...
Using lvm1 metadata with lvmetad is not generally allowed,
but nothing has prevented creating new lvm1 metadata with
lvmetad (missing error checking in pvcreate/vgcreate.)
Various tests are using lvm1 with lvmetad and happen to
work because of the missing error checks.
This commit fixes the tests so they won't fail when the
lvm1/lvmetad error checking is fixed. A new variable
LVM_TEST_LVM1 is defined and is used in the scripts to
decide if lvm1 metadata should be tested. LVM_TEST_LVM1
is not defined when lvmetad is being tested, and the
combination of LVM_TEST_LVM1 and LVM_TEST_LVMETAD can
be used to verify the desired lvmetad+lvm1 behavior.
Showing 'u' in the pv_attr reporting field is mostly unnecessary because
most PVs are allocatable, and being allocatable implies it is (u)sed,
and this is already obvious from other fields in the default 'pvs'
output like the VG name.
So move the new (u)sed pv_attr from character position 4 to 1, and only
show it in those rare cases when the PV is not (a)llocatable or the
relevant metadata is missing.
(Scripts should not be using pv_attr, but rather pv_allocatable,
pv_exported, pv_missing, pv_in_use etc.)
Add tests for the "dmstats report" command:
* report
* report --count
* report --histogram
So far the tests just check the command runs as expected when a
correctly configured stats region exists: validation of output
can be added later.
Add tests for the "dmstats create" command:
* simple whole-device region
* region using --start/--len options
* region using --segments option
* region with precise timestamps (--precise)
* region with histogram bounds (--bounds)
Add initial dmstats tests to 000-basic.sh. These tests ensure that
the dmsetup binary is built and linked correctly when called as
'dmstats' and that the version of the binary matches the expected
library version used for the build.
Ask for confirmation when using pvcreate/pvremove on a PV which is
marked as belonging to a VG, just like we do in case of a PV which
belongs to known VG:
$ pvcreate -ff /dev/sda
Really INITIALIZE physical volume "/dev/sda" that is marked as belonging to a VG [y/n]? n
/dev/sda: physical volume not initialized
$ pvremove -ff /dev/sda
Really WIPE LABELS from physical volume "/dev/sda" that is marked as belonging to a VG [y/n]? n
/dev/sda: physical volume label not removed
