In addition to the already supported conversion between 2-legged
raid1 and raid5, raid1 and raid4 can be also converted into each
other with 2 legs (raid4/5 are limited to map a 2-legged raid1).
This patch supports the missing raid4 conversion in the sequence
linear -> 2-legged raid1 -> raid4/5, then restripe to more than one
data stripes for performance and resilience reasons and optionally
convert to striped/raid0.
The other conversion sequence is also possible by converting N-way
striped/raid0 to raid4/5, then restripe to 2 legs followed by a
conversion to raid1 and optionally to linear (loosing all resilience).
On conversion from striped to raid0, data LVs are created
and all segments and their respective areas of the striped
LV are moved across to new segments allocated for the raid0
image LVs. This can cause non-canonical segments to be added
to the image LVs.
Add a call to lv_merge_segments() once all segments have been
added to an image LV to compensate for that. This avoids
unsafe table loads on activation.
Fix comments.
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.
Splitting off an image LV of a 2-legged raid1 LV tracking changes
causes loosing partial resilience for any newly written data set.
Full resilience will be provided again after the split off image LV
got merged back in and the new data set got fully synchronized.
Reason being that the data is only stored on the remaining single
writable image during the split.
Ask user to avoid uninformed loss of such partial resilience.
Don't ask for N > 2 legged raid1 LVs.
In case N images fail (N <= parity chunks) _and_
a "vgreduce --removemissing --force VG" was applied
a following repair of the RaidLV fails:
Unable to remove N images: Only 0 devices given.
Failed to remove the specified images from tb/r.
Failed to replace faulty devices in tb/r.
Fix as of this commit results in correct repair:
Faulty devices in tb/r successfully replaced.
The lv_extend/_lv_reduce API doesn't cope with resizing RaidLVs
with allocated reshape space and ongoing conversions. Prohibit
resizing during conversions and remove the reshape space before
processing resize. Add missing seg->data_copies initialisation.
Fix typo/comment.
For the time being raid10 is limited to even number of total stripes
as is and 2 data copies. The number of stripes provided on creation
of a raid10(_near) LV with -i/--stripes gets doubled to define
that even total number of stripes (i.e. images).
Apply the same on disk adding conversions (reshapes) with
"lvconvert --stripes RaidLV" (e.g. 2 stripes = 4 images
total converted to 3 stripes = 6 images total).

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.

Commit 0690392040 revealed a problem
in raid metadata manipulation.
We do two operations in one table reload:
- raid leg/image extraction
- rename remaining raid legs
This should be made in separate steps. Otherwise we do an
uncorrectable table change on error path (leaving tables
for admin and dmsetup).
As a hotfix - restore the previous logic and use a single
new function _lv_update_and_reload_list which activates exclusively
extracted LVs on the list before resuming suspended raid LV.
This restore 'rename' functionality upon resume.
Also still preserve the 'origin_only' logic - although we know
it's not working properly for cluster and LV stacking.
Further fixes are needed.
backup is not 'tested' for success and also it should
actually happen just when command is finished.
We do not target to make backups with each inter-step
metadata change.
RAID is LV property
TODO: only 2 flags are seg->status: PVMOVE & MERGING
At least the second one should be soon elimanted as again
we merge LV not a segment.
This is another place for 'common' use pattern or
reload and activation of deleted devices.
(Moving the exclusive activation to _deactivate_and_remove_lvs()).
TODO: looks like halve of raid function is reloading
just 'origin' - and the other full LV.
Fix order of operation when converting raid1 into old mirror.
Before any later metadata modification are initiated prepare
mirror_log device with all clearing.
Then directly convert raid1 into mirror with mirror_log.
This convertion now properly see as precommitted metadata
new 'mirror' and committed old 'raid' and is able to
preload all LVs.
(Automatic) repair may not be allowed during the initial sync of an upconverted
linear LV, because the data on the failing, primary leg hasn't been completely
synchronized to the N-1 other legs of the raid1 LV (replacing failed legs during
repair involves discontinuing access to any replaced legs data, thus preventing
data recovery on the primary leg e.g. via dd_rescue).
Even though repair would not cause data loss when adding legs to a fully synced
raid1 LV, we don't have information yet defining this state yet (e.g. a raid1
LV flag telling the fully synchronized status before any legs were added),
hence can't automatically decide to allow to repair.
If nonetheless a repair on a non-synced raid1 LVs is intended, the "--force"
option has to be provided.
Resolves: rhbz1311765
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
be cleared so that the kernel doesn't fail validating the array positions
after lvm has shifted them up by one.
Add more tests to lvconvert-raid-takeover.sh including one to check for
mapping flaws by converting a created raid4 with filesystem -> striped
and fsck it.
Whilst on it:
- add missing direct striped -> raid4 conversion to the takeover array
to avoid an intermim conversion from striped -> raid0*
- clean up the takeover array
- allow lvconvert to actually call lv_raid_convert() on all takeover requests
in order to check parameters and display messages provided by takeover
functions rather than just "...not supported" from within lvconvert
- fix a typo

Works if the pool is inactive.
Activation code doesn't notice a new raid dependency in on-disk metadata
when a thin LV is already active.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1365286
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.

'pvmove -n name pv1 pv2' allows to collocate multiple RAID SubLVs
on pv2 (e.g. results in collocated raidlv_rimage_0 and raidlv_rimage_1),
thus causing loss of resilence and/or performance of the RaidLV.
Fix this pvmove flaw leading to potential data loss in case of PV failure
by preventing any SubLVs from collocation on any PVs of the RaidLV.
Still allow to collocate any DataLVs of a RaidLV with their sibling MetaLVs
and vice-versa though (e.g. raidlv_rmeta_0 on pv1 may still be moved to pv2
already holding raidlv_rimage_0).
Because access to the top-level RaidLV name is needed,
promote local _top_level_lv_name() from raid_manip.c
to global top_level_lv_name().

When raid leg is extracted, now the preload code handles this state
correctly and put proper new table entry into dm tree,
so the activation of extracted leg and removed metadata works
after commit.
The previous patch felt short WRT disabling allocation on PVs holding other
legs of the RAID LV persistently; this patch introduces an internal,
transient PV flag PV_ALLOCATION_PROHIBITED to address this very problem.
General problem description for completeness:
An 'lvconvert --repair $RAID_LV" to replace a failed leg of a multi-segment
RAID10/4/5/6 logical volume can lead to allocation of (parts of) the replacement
image component pair on the physical volume of another image component
(e.g. image 0 allocated on the same PV as image 1 silently impeding resilience).
Patch fixes this severe resilince issue by prohibiting allocation on PVs
already holding other legs of the RAID set. It allows to allocate free space
on any operational PV already holding parts of the image component pair.

When we split leg from raid - we take a proper new lock for a new LV.
However for now activation checks only 'existince' of device UUID,
but it's not validating device has a proper name.
As a quick fix call suspend()/resume() to rename after split mirror.
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

Instead of segtype->ops->name() introduce lvseg_name().
This also allows us to leave name() function 'empty' for default
return of segtype->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.
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_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 repairing RAID LVs that have multiple PVs per image, allow
replacement images to be reallocated from the PVs that have not
failed in the image if there is sufficient space.
This allows for scenarios where a 2-way RAID1 is spread across 4 PVs,
where each image lives on two PVs but doesn't use the entire space
on any of them. If one PV fails and there is sufficient space on the
remaining PV in the image, the image can be reallocated on just the
remaining PV.
I've changed build_parallel_areas_from_lv to take a new parameter
that allows the caller to build parallel areas by LV vs by segment.
Previously, the function created a list of parallel areas for each
segment in the given LV. When it came time for allocation, the
parallel areas were honored on a segment basis. This was problematic
for RAID because any new RAID image must avoid being placed on any
PVs used by other images in the RAID. For example, if we have a
linear LV that has half its space on one PV and half on another, we
do not want an up-convert to use either of those PVs. It should
especially not wind up with the following, where the first portion
of one LV is paired up with the second portion of the other:
------PV1------- ------PV2-------
[ 2of2 image_1 ] [ 1of2 image_1 ]
[ 1of2 image_0 ] [ 2of2 image_0 ]
---------------- ----------------
Previously, it was possible for this to happen. The change makes
it so that the returned parallel areas list contains one "super"
segment (seg_pvs) with a list of all the PVs from every actual
segment in the given LV and covering the entire logical extent range.
This change allows RAID conversions to function properly when there
are existing images that contain multiple segments that span more
than one PV.
When down-converting a RAID1 LV, if the user specifies too few devices,
they will get a confusing message.
Ex:
[root]# lvcreate -m 2 --type raid1 -n raid -L 500M taft
Logical volume "raid" created
[root]# lvconvert -m 0 taft/raid /dev/sdd1
Unable to extract enough images to satisfy request
Failed to extract images from taft/raid
This patch makes the error message a bit clearer by telling the user
the count they are trying to remove and the number of devices they
supplied.
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvcreate --type raid1 -m 3 -L 200M -n lv vg
Logical volume "lv" created
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvconvert -m -3 vg/lv /dev/sdb1
Unable to remove 3 images: Only 1 device given.
Failed to extract images from vg/lv
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvconvert -m -3 vg/lv /dev/sd[bc]1
Unable to remove 3 images: Only 2 devices given.
Failed to extract images from vg/lv
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvconvert -m -3 vg/lv /dev/sd[bcd]1
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvs -a -o name,attr,devices vg
LV Attr Devices
lv -wi-a----- /dev/sde1(1)
This patch doesn't work in all cases. The user can specify the right
number of devices, but not a sufficient amount of devices from the LV.
This will produce the old error message:
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvconvert -m -3 vg/lv /dev/sd[bcf]1
Unable to extract enough images to satisfy request
Failed to extract images from vg/lv
However, I think this error message is sufficient for this case.
Introduce a new parameter called "approx_alloc" that is set when the
desired size of a new LV is specified in percentage terms. If set,
the allocation code tries to get as much space as it can but does not
fail if can at least get some.
One of the practical implications is that users can now specify 100%FREE
when creating RAID LVs, like this:
~> lvcreate --type raid5 -i 2 -l 100%FREE -n lv vg
Optimize and cleanup recently introduced new function wipe_lv.
Use compound literals to get nicely initialized wipe_params struct.
Pass in lv as explicit argument for wipe_lv.
Use cmd from lv structure.
Initialize only non-null members so it's easy to see what
is the special arg.
Use common wipe_lv (former set_lv) fn to do zeroing as well as signature
wiping if needed. Provide new struct wipe_lv_params to define the
functionality.
Bind "lvcreate -W/--wipesignatures y" with proper wipe_lv call.
Also, add "yes" and "force" to lvcreate_params so it's possible
to apply them for the prompt: "WARNING: %s detected on %s. Wipe it? [y/n]".
Creation, deletion, [de]activation, repair, conversion, scrubbing
and changing operations are all now available for RAID LVs in a
cluster - provided that they are activated exclusively.
The code has been changed to ensure that no LV or sub-LV activation
is attempted cluster-wide. This includes the often overlooked
operations of activating metadata areas for the brief time it takes
to clear them. Additionally, some 'resume_lv' operations were
replaced with 'activate_lv_excl_local' when sub-LVs were promoted
to top-level LVs for removal, clearing or extraction. This was
necessary because it forces the appropriate renaming actions the
occur via resume in the single-machine case, but won't happen in
a cluster due to the necessity of acquiring a lock first.
The *raid* tests have been updated to allow testing in a cluster.
For the most part, this meant creating devices with '-aey' if they
were to be converted to RAID. (RAID requires the converting LV to
be EX because it is a condition of activation for the RAID LV in
a cluster.)
When images and their associated metadata are removed from a RAID1 LV,
the remaining sub-LVs are "shifted" down to fill the gaps. For
example, if there is a 3-way mirror:
[0][1][2]
and we remove device#0, the devices will be shifted down
[1][2]
and renamed.
[0][1]
This can create a problem for resume_lv (specifically,
dm_tree_activate_children) during the renaming process though. This
is because it will attempt to rename the higher indexed sub-LVs first
and find that it cannot because there are currently other sub-LVs with
that name. The solution is to check for a conflicting name before
attempting to rename. If a conflict is found and that conflicting
sub-LV is also in the process of renaming, we can defer the current
rename until the conflicting sub-LV has renamed and cleared the
conflict.
Now that resume_lv can handle these types of rename conflicts, we can
remove the workaround in RAID that was attempting to resume a RAID1
LV from the bottom-up in order to force a proper rename in assending
order before attempting a resume on the top-level LV. This "hack"
only worked for single machine use-cases of LVM. Clearing this up
paves the way for exclusive activation of RAID LVs in a cluster.
The function 'get_pv_list_for_lv' will assemble all the PVs that are
used by the specified LV. It uses 'for_each_sub_lv' to traverse all
of the sub-lvs which may compose it.
There are places where 'lv_is_active' was being used where it was
more correct to use 'lv_is_active_locally'. For example, when checking
for the existance of a kernel instance before asking for its status.
Most of the time these would work correctly. (RAID is only allowed on
non-clustered VGs at the moment, which means that 'lv_is_active' and
'lv_is_active_locally' would give the same result.) However, it is
more correct to use the proper variant and it helps with future
scenarios where targets might be allowed exclusively (or clustered) in
a cluster VG.
'lvchange' is used to alter a RAID 1 logical volume's write-mostly and
write-behind characteristics. The '--writemostly' parameter takes a
PV as an argument with an optional trailing character to specify whether
to set ('y'), unset ('n'), or toggle ('t') the value. If no trailing
character is given, it will set the flag.
Synopsis:
lvchange [--writemostly <PV>:{t|y|n}] [--writebehind <count>] vg/lv
Example:
lvchange --writemostly /dev/sdb1:y --writebehind 512 vg/raid1_lv
The last character in the 'lv_attr' field is used to show whether a device
has the WriteMostly flag set. It is signified with a 'w'. If the device
has failed, the 'p'artial flag has priority.
Example ("nosync" raid1 with mismatch_cnt and writemostly):
[~]# lvs -a --segment vg
LV VG Attr #Str Type SSize
raid1 vg Rwi---r-m 2 raid1 500.00m
[raid1_rimage_0] vg Iwi---r-- 1 linear 500.00m
[raid1_rimage_1] vg Iwi---r-w 1 linear 500.00m
[raid1_rmeta_0] vg ewi---r-- 1 linear 4.00m
[raid1_rmeta_1] vg ewi---r-- 1 linear 4.00m
Example (raid1 with mismatch_cnt, writemostly - but failed drive):
[~]# lvs -a --segment vg
LV VG Attr #Str Type SSize
raid1 vg rwi---r-p 2 raid1 500.00m
[raid1_rimage_0] vg Iwi---r-- 1 linear 500.00m
[raid1_rimage_1] vg Iwi---r-p 1 linear 500.00m
[raid1_rmeta_0] vg ewi---r-- 1 linear 4.00m
[raid1_rmeta_1] vg ewi---r-p 1 linear 4.00m
A new reportable field has been added for writebehind as well. If
write-behind has not been set or the LV is not RAID1, the field will
be blank.
Example (writebehind is set):
[~]# lvs -a -o name,attr,writebehind vg
LV Attr WBehind
lv rwi-a-r-- 512
[lv_rimage_0] iwi-aor-w
[lv_rimage_1] iwi-aor--
[lv_rmeta_0] ewi-aor--
[lv_rmeta_1] ewi-aor--
Example (writebehind is not set):
[~]# lvs -a -o name,attr,writebehind vg
LV Attr WBehind
lv rwi-a-r--
[lv_rimage_0] iwi-aor-w
[lv_rimage_1] iwi-aor--
[lv_rmeta_0] ewi-aor--
[lv_rmeta_1] ewi-aor--
When a device fails, we may wish to replace those segments with an
error segment. (Like when a 'vgreduce --removemissing' removes a
failed device that happens to be a RAID image/meta.) We are then left
with images that we will eventually want to remove or replace.
This patch allows us to pull out these virtual "error" sub-LVs. This
allows a user to 'lvconvert -m -1 vg/lv' to extract the bad sub-LVs.
Sub-LVs with error segments are considered for extraction before other
possible devices so that good devices are not accidentally removed.
This patch also adds the ability to replace RAID images that contain error
segments. The user will still be unable to run 'lvconvert --replace'
because there is no way to address the 'error' segment (i.e. no PV
that it is associated with). However, 'lvconvert --repair' can be
used to replace the image's error segment with a new PV. This is also
the most appropriate way to do it, since the LV will continue to be
reported as 'partial'.
Currently it is impossible to remove a failed PV which has a RAID LV
on it. This patch fixes the issue by replacing the failed PV with an
'error' segment within the affected sub-LVs. Once there is no longer
a RAID LV using the PV, it can be removed.
Most often, it is better to replace a failed RAID device with a spare.
(You can use 'lvconvert --repair <vg>/<LV>' to accomplish that.)
However, if there are no spares in the volume group and none will be
added, it is useful to be able to removed the failed device.
Following patches address the ability to perform 'lvconvert' operations
on RAID LVs that contain sub-LVs composed of 'error' segments.
We have been using 'mirror_region_size' in lvm.conf as the default region
size for RAID logical volumes as well as mirror logical volumes. Since,
"raid" is more inclusive and representative than "mirror", I have changed
the name of this setting. We must still check for the old setting and warn
the user if we are overriding it with the new setting if both happen to be
present.
If a RAID array is not in-sync, replacing devices should not be allowed
as a general rule. This is because the contents used to populate the
incoming device may be undefined because the devices being read where
not in-sync. The kernel enforces this rule unless overridden by not
allowing the creation of an array that is not in-sync and includes a
devices that needs to be rebuilt.
Since we cannot know the sync state of an LV if it is inactive, we must
also enforce the rule that an array must be active to replace devices.
That leaves us with the following conditions:
1) never allow replacement or repair of devices if the LV is in-active
2) never allow replacement if the LV is not in-sync
3) allow repair if the LV is not in-sync, but warn that contents may
not be recoverable.
In the case where a user is performing the repair on the command line via
'lvconvert --repair', the warning is printed before the user is prompted
if they would like to replace the device(s). If the repair is automated
(i.e. via dmeventd and policy is "allocate"), then the device is replaced
if possible and the warning is printed.
Use log_warn to print non-fatal warning messages.
Use of log_error would confuse checker for testing
whether proper error has been reported for some real error.
MD's bitmaps can handle 2^21 regions at most. The RAID code has always
used a region_size of 1024 sectors. That means the size of a RAID LV was
limited to 1TiB. (The user can adjust the region_size when creating a
RAID LV, which can affect the maximum size.) Thus, creating, extending or
converting to a RAID LV greater than 1TiB would result in a failure to
load the new device-mapper table.
Again, the size of the RAID LV is not limited by how much space is allocated
for the metadata area, but by the limitations of the MD bitmap. Therefore,
we must adjust the 'region_size' to ensure that the number of regions does
not exceed the limit. I've added code to do this when extending a RAID LV
(which covers 'create' and 'extend' operations) and when up-converting -
specifically from linear to RAID1.
Failing to clear the LV_NOTSYNCED flag when converting a RAID1 LV to
linear can result in the flag being present after an upconvert - even
if the sync is performed when upconverting.
Mirrors do not allow upconverting if the LV has been created with --nosync.
We will enforce the same rule for RAID1. It isn't hugely critical, since
the portions that have been written will be copied over to the new device
identically from either of the existing images. However, the unwritten
sections may be different, causing the added image to be a hybrid of the
existing images.
Also, we are disallowing the addition of new images to a RAID1 LV that has
not completed the initial sync. This may be different from mirroring, but
that is due to the fact that the 'mirror' segment type "stacks" when adding
a new image and RAID1 does not. RAID1 will rebuild a newly added image
"inline" from the existant images, so they should be in-sync.
We cannot add images to a RAID array while it is not in-sync. The
kernel will simply reject the table, saying:
'rebuild' specified while array is not in-sync
Now we check to ensure the LV is in-sync before attempting image
additions.
It is necessary when creating a RAID LV to clear the new metadata areas.
Failure to do so could result in a prepopulated bitmap that would cause
the new array to skip syncing portions of the array. It is a requirement
that the metadata LVs be activated and cleared in the process of creating.
However in test mode, this requirement should be lifted - no new LVs should
be created or written to.
When printing a message for the user and the lv_segment pointer is available,
use segtype->ops->name() instead of segtype->name. This gives a better
user-readable name for the segment. This is especially true for the
'striped' segment type, which prints "linear" if there is an area_count of
one.
Accept -q as the short form of --quiet.
Suppress non-essential standard output if -q is given twice.
Treat log/silent in lvm.conf as equivalent to -qq.
Review all log_print messages and change some to
log_print_unless_silent.
When silent, the following commands still produce output:
dumpconfig, lvdisplay, lvmdiskscan, lvs, pvck, pvdisplay,
pvs, version, vgcfgrestore -l, vgdisplay, vgs.
[Needs checking.]
Non-essential messages are shifted from log level 4 to log level 5
for syslog and lvm2_log_fn purposes.
This patch adds support for RAID10. It is not the default at this
stage. The user needs to specify '--type raid10' if they would like
RAID10 instead of stacked mirror over stripe.
