If lvmlockd is running, lvmetad is configured (use_lvmetad=1),
but lvmetad is not running, then commands will seg fault
when trying to send a message to lvmetad.
The difference is lvmetad being "active", not just "used".
We already have pv_count to report number of PVs that a VG has based
on metadata.
This patch exposes the information about how many of these PVs are
missing which is also useful information for a VG. Wwe could count
the sum of pv_missing reporting fields for each PV in the VG before,
but the new field is practical when reporting VG as a whole and there's
no need to process each PV from VG alone.
If 'vgcreate --shared' finds both sanlock and dlm are running,
print a more accurate error message:
"Found multiple lock managers, select one with --lock-type."
When neither is running, we still print:
"Failed to detect a running lock manager to select lock type."
Also, leave out the note about "circular buffer" which is
an internal imeplementation detail anyway and not quite
informational for users:
Before this patch:
$ vgcreate vg1 /dev/sda
VG vg1 metadata too large for circular buffer
Failed to write VG vg1.
With this patch applied:
$ vgcreate vg1 /dev/sda
VG vg1 metadata too large: size of metadata to write is 691 bytes while PV metadata area size on /dev/sda is 512 bytes.
Failed to write VG vg1.

With this patch applied:

Add metadata_devices and seg_metadata_le_ranges report fields.
Currently only defined for raid, but should probably be extended
to all other segment types that don't report all their device
usage in the 'devices' field.
Commit: 192d9ad97769f2c16f3ebe67e51cfb287e67f67c
changed logic for area_len formula - so it returns
different values.
Placing () to restore previous behaviour and make it
explicit.
When lvmetad_pvscan_vg() reads VG metadata from each PV,
it compares it to the last one to verify it matches.
If the VG metadata does not match on the PVs, an error
is printed and it fails to read the VG. In this error
case, use log_debug to show the differences between
the two unmatching copies of the metadata.
One host changes a VG, making the cached VG on another
host invalid. The other host then rereads the VG from
disk to get the latest copy. If the first host removed
a PV from the VG, the second host attempts to reread the
VG from old PV when rescanning. Reading the VG from the
removed PV fails, causing vg_read to return "VG not found".
The fix is to simply not fail when a VG is not found while
rereading a PV and continue without it.
(This doesn't happen if the second host happens to first
run a command like 'vgs' that triggers a global revalidation
of metadata.)
vgchange --lock-type iterates through LVs to ensure
no LVs are active before changing the lock type of
the VG, but the loop was not checking that an LV
actually has a lock before trying it, so it would
fail if the VG had any LVs that don't use locks,
e.g it would fail on a tmeta LV from a pool.
When using lvm shell, some structures which are cached in memory may be
reused. This happens for the struct label (a part of lvmcache_info
structure) when lvmetad is used in which case the PV scan is not
done that would normally overwrite these label structures in memory
and making them up-to-date.
This is all consequence of the fact that struct lvmcache_info and
struct label are not always assigned in the same part of the code.
For example, if lvmetad *is not* used, parts of the struct label are
reassigned in label_read fn while struct lvmcache_info is created
elsewhere. No part of the code reused struct label (and its "dev"
field) before calling label_read fn. That's why the real bug is
hidden when using lvm shell without lvmetad.
However, with lvmetad and lvm shell, the situation is a bit different.
The label_read fn is not called if lvmetad *is* used, hence the
struct label may have ended up not initialized properly.
There was missing assignment for the dev field in struct label
in _text_pv_write fn which caused this problem to appear in
lvm shell with lvmetad, for example:
Before this patch:
lvm> pvcreate /dev/sda
Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
lvm> pvs /dev/sda
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
unknown device lvm2 --- 128.00m 128.00m
With this patch applied:
lvm> pvcreate /dev/sda
Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
lvm> pvs /dev/sda
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/sda lvm2 --- 128.00m 128.00m
Also, this problem had not appeared before changes introduced
by commits e1a63905d14cc73352b905c70cb4084b7e521e33 through
3a6f91d7139119bea664050a957cbc21490398bc which, among other
things, added proper label field type reporting. Before, label
reporting was the same as using struct physical_volume which
has its own dev field assigned and so this problem was not exposed.
When a command does a sequence of
vg_write + vg_commit + vg_write + vg_commit,
initialization of non-PV devices happens during the
first vg_write, and does not need to be repeated by
the second vg_write.
When creating a lockd VG, this sequence occurs because
the VG is first created, then the lockd data is created,
then the lockd data is then written to the VG metadata.
This applies the same rule/logic to dlm VGs that has always
existed for sanlock VGs. Allowing a dlm VG to be removed
while its lockspace was still running on other hosts largely
worked, but there were difficult problems if another VG with
the same name was recreated. Forcing the VG lockspace to
be stopped, gives both sanlock and dlm VGs the same behavior.
The code was expecting the wrong return value from
compare_config, which returns 0 when equal.
This is a problem for a lockd VG using multiple PVs
when the VG needs to be rescanned.
Certain stacks of cached LVs may have unexpected consequences.
So add a warning function called when LV is cached to detect
such caces and WARN user about them - the best we could do ATM.
When we insert layer we also move status flag-bits for certain LV types,
so internal volume_group structure remains consistent.
(Perhaps it's misuse of 'insert_layer' function and we should have
another similar function for this.)
Basically we aim to maintain the same state as after reading fresh
metadata out of volume group.
Currently we when i.e. cache 'raid' LV - this should transfer 'raidLV' flag
to _corigin LV and cache is no longer a raid.
TODO: bits for stacked devices needs more exact rules.
