Native disk scanning is now both reduced and
async/parallel, which makes it comparable in
performance (and often faster) when compared
to lvm using lvmetad.
Autoactivation now uses local temp files to record
online PVs, and no longer requires lvmetad.
There should be no apparent command-level change
in behavior.
When lvmetad is not used, use temporary files to record
which PVs have appeared. Use these temp files to determine
when a VG is complete, to trigger autoactivation.
This change allows us to remove lvmetad while keeping the
same autoactivation behavior that lvmetad provides.
The temp files are created in /run/lvm/pvs_online/ and are
named for the PVID of the PV. The files contain the
major:minor of the device the PV was read from.
e.g. if VG foo has dev1 and dev2, then:
. pvscan --cache -aay dev1
reads vg metadata from dev1
creates /run/lvm/pvs_online/<pvid-of-dev1>
checks if all vg->pvs are online: no
. pvscan --cache -aay dev2
reads vg metadata from dev2
creates /run/lvm/pvs_online/<pvid-of-dev2>
checks if all vg->pvs are online: yes
autoactivates vg
A 'pvscan --cache dev' (without -aay) still records that
dev is online.
A 'pvscan --cache --major X --minor Y' after a device is
gone will remove the temp file for it.
A 'pvscan --cache [-aay]' (no devs) resets the state of
temp files by removing them all, then scanning all devs
and creating temp files for PVs that are found.
If no online files exist, the first pvscan --cache scans
all devs and creates temp files for any PVs found.
The scope of the temp files is only pvscan, and they are only
used for pvscan-based autoactivation. No other commands are
concerned with or aware of these temp files. When lvm creates
or removes PVs, no attempt is made to update the temp files.
Restoring polling for activated volumes lost with my recent commit:
75fed05d3e and move start of polling
directly into _activate_lvs_in_vg() - as there we know exactly
if there was some volume even activated.
Also make it sharing same code for pvscan -aay.
Make activation commands:
vgchange -ay, lvchange -ay, pvscan -aay
take an exclusive file lock on the VG to serialize
multiple concurrent activation commands which could
otherwise interfere with each other.
As we start refactoring the code to break dependencies (see doc/refactoring.txt),
I want us to use full paths in the includes (eg, #include "base/data-struct/list.h").
This makes it more obvious when we're breaking abstraction boundaries, eg, including a file in
metadata/ from base/
Filters are still applied before any device reading or
the label scan, but any filter checks that want to read
the device are skipped and the device is flagged.
After bcache is populated, but before lvm looks for
devices (i.e. before label scan), the filters are
reapplied to the devices that were flagged above.
The filters will then find the data they need in
bcache.
There are likely more bits of code that can be removed,
e.g. lvm1/pool-specific bits of code that were identified
using FMT flags.
The vgconvert command can likely be reduced further.
The lvm1-specific config settings should probably have
some other fields set for proper deprecation.
Change run time access to the command_name struct
cmd->cname instead of indirectly through
cmd->command->cname. This removes the two run time
fields from struct command.
pvscan --cache -aay was activating LVs in exported VGs
when it should not.
It appears that this was a regression from commit 9b640c3684
"pvscan: use process_each_vg for autoactivate".
Previously, a command sent lvmetad new VG metadata in vg_commit().
In vg_commit(), devices are suspended, so any memory allocation
done by the command while sending to lvmetad, or by lvmetad while
updating its cache could deadlock if memory reclaim was triggered.
Now lvmetad is updated in unlock_vg(), after devices are resumed.
The new method for updating VG metadata in lvmetad is in two phases:
1. In vg_write(), before devices are suspended, the command sends
lvmetad a short message ("set_vg_info") telling it what the new
VG seqno will be. lvmetad sees that the seqno is newer than
the seqno of its cached VG, so it sets the INVALID flag for the
cached VG. If sending the message to lvmetad fails, the command
fails before the metadata is committed and the change is not made.
If sending the message succeeds, vg_commit() is called.
2. In unlock_vg(), after devices are resumed, the command sends
lvmetad the standard vg_update message with the new metadata.
lvmetad sees that the seqno in the new metadata matches the
seqno it saved from set_vg_info, and knows it has the latest
copy, so it clears the INVALID flag for the cached VG.
If a command fails between 1 and 2 (after committing the VG on disk,
but before sending lvmetad the new metadata), the cached VG retains
the INVALID flag in lvmetad. A subsequent command will read the
cached VG from lvmetad, see the INVALID flag, ignore the cached
copy, read the VG from disk instead, update the lvmetad copy
with the latest copy from disk, (this clears the INVALID flag
in lvmetad), and use the correct VG metadata for the command.
(This INVALID mechanism already existed for use by lvmlockd.)
The lvm fullreport works per VG and as such, the vg, lv, pv, seg and
pvseg subreport is done for each VG. However, if the PV is not part of
any VG yet, we still want to display pv and pvseg subreports for these
"orphan" PVs - so enable this for lvm fullreport's process_each_vg call.
If there's parent processing handle, we don't need to create completely
new report group and status report - we'll just reuse the one already
initialized for the parent.
Currently, the situation where this matter is when doing internal report
to do the selection for processing commands where we have parent processing
handle for the command itself and processing handle for the selection
part (that is selection for non-reporting tools).
commit 15da467b was meant to address the case where
use_lvmetad=1 in lvm.conf, and lvmetad is not available,
in which case, pvscan --cache -aay should activate LVs.
But the commit unintentionally also changed the case
where use_lvmetad=0 in lvm.conf, in which case
pvscan --cache -aay should not activate LVs, so fix
that here.
When pvscan --cache -aay fails to connect to lvmetad it will
simply exit and do nothing. Change this so that it will
skip the lvmetad cache step and do the activation step from
disk.
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.
pvscan autoactivation has its own VG processing implementation,
so it can't properly handle things like foreign or shared VGs,
so make it ignore those VG types (or errors from them) as best
as possible.
Add a FIXME stating that pvscan autoactivation must really be
moved to the standard VG processing by calling process_each_vg
to do activation once the scanning / cache update is finished.
The lvmetad connection is created within the
init_connections() path during command startup,
rather than via the old lvmetad_active() check.
The old lvmetad_active() checks are replaced
with lvmetad_used() which is a simple check that
tests if the command is using/connected to lvmetad.
The old lvmetad_set_active(cmd, 0) calls, which
stopped the command from using lvmetad (to revert to
disk scanning), are replaced with lvmetad_make_unused(cmd).
Commands already check if the lvmetad token is valid,
and if not, they rescan devices to repopulate lvmetad
before running. Now, in addition to checking the
lvmetad token, they also check if the lvmetad disabled
flag is set. If so, they do not use the lvmetad cache
and revert to disk scanning.
Move checking the lvmetad state, and the possible rescan,
out of lvmetad_send() to the start of the command.
Previously, the token mismatch and rescan would occur
within lvmetad_send() for some other request. Now,
the token mismatch is detected earlier, so the
rescan can be done before the main command is in
progress. Rescanning deep within the processing of
another command will disturb the lvmcache state of
that other command.
A rescan already exists at the start of the command
for the case where foreign VGs are going to be read.
This same rescan is now also performed when there is
an lvmetad token mismatch (from a changed global_filter).
The commands pvscan/vgscan/lvscan/vgimport are excluded
from this preemptive checking/rescanning for lvmetad
because they want to do rescanning themselves explicitly.
If rescanning devices fails, then lvmetad has not been
correctly repopulated and should not be used, so make
the command revert to not using lvmetad.
This is common code for handling PV create/remove
that can be shared by pvcreate/vgcreate/vgextend/pvremove.
This does not change any commands to use the new code.
- Pull out the hidden equivalent of process_each_pv
into an actual top level process_each_pv.
- Pull the prompts to the top level, and do not
run any prompts while locks are held.
The orphan lock is reacquired after any prompts are
done, and the devices being created are checked for
any change made while the lock was not held.
Previously, pvcreate_vol() was the shared function for
creating a PV for pvcreate, vgcreate, vgextend.
Now, it will be toollib function pvcreate_each_device().
pvcreate_vol() was called effectively as a helper, from
within vgcreate and vgextend code paths.
pvcreate_each_device() will be called at the same level
as other process_each functions.
One of the main problems with pvcreate_vol() is that
it included a hidden equivalent of process_each_pv for
each device being created:
pvcreate_vol() -> _pvcreate_check() ->
find_pv_by_name() -> get_pvs() ->
get_pvs_internal() -> _get_pvs() -> get_vgids() ->
/* equivalent to process_each_pv */
dm_list_iterate_items(vgids)
vg = vg_read_internal()
dm_list_iterate_items(&vg->pvs)
pvcreate_each_device() reorganizes the code so that
each-VG-each-PV loop is done once, and uses the standard
process_each_pv function at the top level of the function.
Also always clear the internal lvmcache after rescanning, and
reinstate a test for --trustcache so that 'pvs --trustcache'
(for example) avoids rescanning.
The old code made two loops through the PVs: in the first
loop it found the max PV and VG name lengths, and in the
second loop it printed each PV using the name lengths as
field widths for aligning columns.
The new code uses process_each_pv() which makes one loop
through the PVs. In the *first* call to pvscan_single(),
the max name lengths are found by looping through the
lvmcache entries which have been populated by the generic
process_each code prior to calling any _single functions.
Subsequent calls to pvscan_single() reuse the max lengths
that were found by the first call.
When lvm1 PVs are visible, and lvmetad is used, and the foreign
option was included in the reporting command, the reporting
command would fail after the 'pvscan all devs' function saw
the lvm1 PVs. There is no reason the command should fail
because of the lvm1 PVs; they should just be ignored.
In log messages refer to it as system ID (not System ID).
Do not put quotes around the system_id string when printing.
On the command line use systemid.
In code, metadata, and config files use system_id.
In lvmsystemid refer to the concept/entity as system_id.
