This patch fixes mostly cluster behavior but also updates
non-cluster reaction where calls like 'lvchange -aln'
lead to incorrect errors for some segment types.
Fix the implicit activation rules where some segment types could
be activated only in exclusive mode in cluster.
lvm2 command was not preserver 'local' property and incorrectly
converted local activations in to plain exclusive, so the local
activation could have activate volumes exclusively, but remotely.
If the volume_list filters out volume from activation,
it is still success result for this function.
Change the error message back to verbose level.
Detect if the volume is active localy before zeroing,
so we report error a bit later for cases, where volume
could not be activated because it doesn't pass through volume
list (but user still could create volume when he disables
zeroing)
Add LV_TEMPORARY flag for LVs with limited existence during command
execution. Such LVs are temporary in way that they need to be activated,
some action done and then removed immediately. Such LVs are just like
any normal LV - the only difference is that they are removed during
LVM command execution. This is also the case for LVs representing
future pool metadata spare LVs which we need to initialize by using
the usual LV before they are declared as pool metadata spare.
We can optimize some other parts like udev to do a better job if
it knows that the LV is temporary and any processing on it is just
useless.
This flag is orthogonal to LV_NOSCAN flag introduced recently
as LV_NOSCAN flag is primarily used to mark an LV for the scanning
to be avoided before the zeroing of the device happens. The LV_TEMPORARY
flag makes a difference between a full-fledged LV visible in the system
and the LV just used as a temporary overlay for some action that needs to
be done on underlying PVs.
For example: lvcreate --thinpool POOL --zero n -L 1G vg
- first, the usual LV is created to do a clean up for pool metadata
spare. The LV is activated, zeroed, deactivated.
- between "activated" and "zeroed" stage, the LV_NOSCAN flag is used
to avoid any scanning in udev
- betwen "zeroed" and "deactivated" stage, we need to avoid the WATCH
udev rule, but since the LV is just a usual LV, we can't make a
difference. The LV_TEMPORARY internal LV flag helps here. If we
create the LV with this flag, the DM_UDEV_DISABLE_DISK_RULES
and DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES flag are set (just like as it is
with "invisible" and non-top-level LVs) - udev is directed to
skip WATCH rule use.
- if the LV_TEMPORARY flag was not used, there would normally be
a WATCH event generated once the LV is closed after "zeroed"
stage. This will make problems with immediated deactivation that
follows.
Split image should have an out-of-sync attr ('I') - always. Even if
the RAID LV has not been written to since the LV was split off, it is
still not part of the group that makes up the RAID and is therefore
"out-of-sync".
Since the virtual snapshot has no reason to stay alive once we
detach related snapshot - deactivate whole thing in front of
snapshot removal - otherwice the code would get tricky for
support in cluster.
The correct full solution would require to have transactions
for libdm operations.
Also enable to the check for snapshot being opened prior
the origin deactivation, otherwise we could easily end
with the origin being deactivate, but snapshot still kept
active, desynchronizing locking state in cluster.
A common scenario is during new LV creation when we need to wipe the
newly created LV and avoid any udev scanning before this stage otherwise
it could cause the device (the LV) to be claimed by some other subsystem
for which there were stale metadata within LV data.
This patch adds possibility to mark the LV we're just about to wipe with
a flag that gets passed to udev via DM_COOKIE as a subsystem specific
flag - DM_SUBSYSTEM_UDEV_FLAG0 (in this case the subsystem is "LVM")
so LVM udev rules will take care of handling that.
Accept --ignoreskippedcluster with pvs, vgs, lvs, pvdisplay, vgdisplay,
lvdisplay, vgchange and lvchange to avoid the 'Skipping clustered
VG' errors when requesting information about a clustered VG
without using clustered locking and still exit with success.
The messages can still be seen with -v.
lib/metadata/lv_manip.c:_sufficient_pes_free() was calculating the
required space for RAID allocations incorrectly due to double
accounting. This resulted in failure to allocate when available
space was tight.
When RAID data and metadata areas are allocated together, the total
amount is stored in ah->new_extents and ah->alloc_and_split_meta is
set. '_sufficient_pes_free' was adding the necessary metadata extents
to ah->new_extents without ever checking ah->alloc_and_split_meta.
This often led to double accounting of the metadata extents. This
patch checks 'ah->alloc_and_split_meta' to perform proper calculations
for RAID.
This error is only present in the function that checks for the needed
space, not in the functions that do the actual allocation.
If "default" thin pool chunk size calculation method is selected,
use minimum_io_size, otherwise optimal_io_size for "performance"
device hint exposed in sysfs. If there appear to be PVs with
different hints presented, use their least common multiple.
If the hint is less than the default value defined for the
calculation method, use the default value instead.
A previous commit (b6bfddcd0a) which
was designed to prevent segfaults during lvextend when trying to
extend striped logical volumes forgot to include calculations for
RAID4/5/6 parity devices. This was causing the 'contiguous' and
'cling_by_tags' allocation policies to fail for RAID 4/5/6.
The solution is to remember that while we can compare
ah->area_count == prev_lvseg->area_count
for non-RAID, we should compare
(ah->area_count + ah->parity_count) == prev_lvseg->area_count
for a general solution.
Older gcc is giving misleading warning:
metadata/lv_manip.c:4018: warning: ‘seg’ may be used uninitialized in
this function
But warning free compilation is better.
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.
When the pool is created from non-linear target the more complex rules
have to be used and stacking needs to properly decode args for _tdata
LV. Also proper allocation policies are being used according to those
set in lvm2 metadata for data and metadata LVs.
Also properly check for active pool and extra code to active it
temporarily.
With this fix it's now possible to use:
lvcreate -L20 -m2 -n pool vg --alloc anywhere
lvcreate -L10 -m2 -n poolm vg --alloc anywhere
lvconvert --thinpool vg/pool --poolmetadata vg/poolm
lvresize -L+10 vg/pool
The pool metadata LV must be accounted for when determining what PVs
are in a thin-pool. The pool LV must also be accounted for when
checking thin volumes.
This is a prerequisite for pvmove working with thin types.
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.
When creating a new thin pool and there's no profile requested
via "lvcreate --profile ...", inherit any VG profile if it's attached.
Currently this applies to these settings:
allocation/thin_pool_chunk_size
allocation/thin_pool_discards
allocation/thin_pool_zero
The PREFERRED allocation mechanism requires the number of areas in the
previous LV segment to match the number in the new segment being
allocated. If they do not match, the code may crash.
E.g. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/989347
Introduce A_AREA_COUNT_MATCHES and when not set avoid referring
to the previous segment with the contiguous and cling policies.
commit d00d45a8b6 introduced changes
that are causing cluster mirror tests to fail. Ultimately, I think
the change was right, but a proper clean-up will have to wait.
The portion of the commit we are reverting correlates to the
following commit comment:
2) lib/metadata/mirror.c:_delete_lv() - should have been calling
_activate_lv_like_model() with 'mirror_lv'. This is because
'mirror_lv' is the LV that the overall operation is being
performed on. We need to use this LV as the basis for
determining whether to activate locally, or across the
cluster, etc.
It appears that when legs or logs are removed from a mirror, they
are being activated before they are deleted in order to make them
top-level LVs that can be acted upon. When doing this, it appears
they are not activated based on the characteristics of the mirror
from which they came. IOW, if the mirror was exclusively active,
the sub-LVs are activated globally. This is a no-no. This then
made it impossible to activate_lv_like_model if the model was
"mirror_lv" instead of "lv" in _delete_lv(). Thus, at some point
this change should probably be put back and those location where
the sub-LVs are being improperly activated "shared" instead of
EX should be corrected.
Three fixme's addressed in this commit:
1) lib/metadata/lv_manip.c:_calc_area_multiple() - this could be
safely changed to a comment explaining that currently because
RAID10 can only have a 2-way mirror, we don't need to know the
number of stripes. However, we will need to know that in the
future if RAID10 is to support more than 2-way mirroring.
2) lib/metadata/mirror.c:_delete_lv() - should have been calling
_activate_lv_like_model() with 'mirror_lv'. This is because
'mirror_lv' is the LV that the overall operation is being
performed on. We need to use this LV as the basis for
determining whether to activate locally, or across the
cluster, etc.
3) tools/lvcreate.c:_lvcreate_params() - Minor clean-up. If
'-m 0' is given, treat it as though the mirroring argument
was not given (i.e. as though the requested segment type
was 'stripe' and not mirror).
Activation is needed only for clustered VG.
For non-clustered VG skip activation, since deactivate_lv()
is called without problems (no testing for lock presence).
(updates f6ded62291)
When the merging of snapshot is finished, we need to clean dm table
intries for snapshot and -cow device. So for merging snapshot
we have to activate_lv plain 'cow' LV and let the table
resolver to its work - shortly deactivation_lv() request
will follow - in cluster this needs LV lock to be held by clvmd.
Also update a test - add small wait - if lvremove is not 'fast enough'
and merging process has not been stopped and $lv1 removed in background.
Ortherwise the following lvcreate occasionally finds name $lv1 still in use.
(in release fix)
Add --poolmetadataspare option and creates and handles
pool metadata spare lv when thin pool is created.
With default setting 'y' it tries to ensure, spare has
at least the size of created LV.
Pool creation involves clearing of metadata device
which triggers udev watch rule we cannot udev synchronize with
in current code.
This metadata devices needs to be activated localy,
so in cluster mode deactivation and reactivation
is always needed.
However for non-clustered mode we may reload table
via suspend/resume path which avoids collision with
udev watch rule which was occasionaly triggering
retry deactivation loop.
Code has been also split into 2 separate code paths
for thin pools and thin volumes which improved readability
of the code as well.
Deactivation has been moved out of extend_pool() and
decision is now in _lv_create_an_lv() which knows
the change mode.
Since we vg_write&commit metadata LV inside lv_extend() call,
proper restore is needed in case something fails.
So add bad: section which deactivates activated LV
and removes it from VG.
Also check early for metadata LV name lengh fail.
