LVM- prefix.
Try harder not to leave stray empty devices around (locally or remotely) when
reverting changes after failures while there are inactive tables.
LVM metadata knows only of striped segments - not linear ones.
The activation code detects segments with a single stripe and switches
them to use the linear target.
If the new lvm.conf setting is set to 0 (e.g. in a test script), this
'optimisation' is turned off.
Use static buffer instead of stack allocated buffer.
This reduces stack size usage of lvm tool and the
change is very simple.
Since the whole library is not thread safe - it should not
add any new problems - and if there will be some conversion
it's easy to convert this to use some preallocated buffer.
Add filter which tries to check if scanned device is part
of active multipath.
Firstly, only SCSI major number devices are handled in filter.
Then it checks if device has exactly one holder (in sysfs) and
if it is device-mapper device and DM-UUID is prefixed by "MPATH-".
If so, this device is filtered out.
The whole filter can be switched off by setting
mpath_component_detection in lvm.conf.

Properly detect if the filters were refreshed properly.
(May needs few more fixes ??)
Filter refresh may fail because it may be out of free file descriptors
when clvmd gets overloaded.
Before, we used to display "Can't remove open logical volume" which was
generic. There 3 possibilities of how a device could be opened:
- used by another device
- having a filesystem on that device which is mounted
- opened directly by an application
With the help of sysfs info, we can distinguish the first two situations.
The third one will be subject to "remove retry" logic - if it's opened
quickly (e.g. a parallel scan from within a udev rule run), this will
finish quickly and we can remove it once it has finished. If it's a
legitimate application that keeps the device opened, we'll do our best
to remove the device, but we will fail finally after a few retries.
Makes dumpconfig whole-section output wrong in a different way from before,
but we should be able to merge cft_cmdline properly into cmd->cft now and
remove cascade.
leaving behind the LVM-specific parts of the code (convenience wrappers that
handle `struct device` and `struct cmd_context`, basically). A number of
functions have been renamed (in addition to getting a dm_ prefix) -- namely,
all of the config interface now has a dm_config_ prefix.
Add config option to enable crc checking of VG structures.
Currently it's disabled by default.
For the internal test-suite this check it is enabled.
Note: In the case the internal error is detected, debug build with
compile option DEBUG_ENFORCE_POOL_LOCKING helps to catch the source
of the problem.
Implementation described in doc/lvm2-raid.txt.
Basic support includes:
- ability to create RAID 1/4/5/6 arrays
- ability to delete RAID arrays
- ability to display RAID arrays
Notable missing features (not included in this patch):
- ability to clean-up/repair failures
- ability to convert RAID segment types
- ability to monitor RAID segment types
We've used udev fallback code till now to check whether udev
created/removed the entries in /dev correctly and if not,
a repair was done (giving a warning messagea about that).
This patch adds a possibility to enable this additional check
and subsequent fallback only when required (debugging purposes
mostly) and trust udev completely.
So let's disable the fallback code by default and add a new
configuration option "activation/udev_fallback".
(The original code for creating the nodes will still be used
in case the device directory that is set in lvm.conf differs
from the one that udev uses and also when activation/udev_rules
is set to 0 - otherwise we would end up with no nodes/symlinks
at all)
allocates these buffers in such way it adds memory page for each such buffer
and size of unlock memory check will mismatch by 1 or 2 pages.
This happens when we print or read lines without '\n' so these buffers are
used. To avoid this extra allocation, use setvbuf to set these bufffers ahead.

Also, add a new 'obtain_device_list_from_udev' setting to lvm.conf with which
we can turn this feature on or off if needed.
If set, the cache of block device nodes with all associated symlinks
will be constructed out of the existing udev database content.
This avoids using and opening any inapplicable non-block devices or
subdirectories found in the device directory. This setting is applied
to udev-managed device directory only, other directories will be scanned
fully. LVM2 needs to be compiled with udev support for this setting to
take effect. N.B. Any device node or symlink not managed by udev in
udev directory will be ignored with this setting on.
Add configurable option to define minimal size of
of block device usable as a PV.
pv_min_size() is added to lvm-globals and it's being
initialized through _process_config.
Macro PV_MIN_SIZE is unused and removed.
New define DEFAULT_PV_MIN_SIZE_KB is added to lvm-global
and unlike PV_MIN_SIZE it uses KB units.
Should help users with various slow devices attached to the system,
which cannot be easily filtered out (like FDD on /dev/sdX):

If some allocation for peristent filter fails its memory reference
was lost, fix it by calling filter's destructor.
Fix log_error messages for failing allocation.
To have better control were the config tree could be modified use more
const pointers and very carefully downcast them back to non-const
(for config tree merge).
Set cmd->independent_metadata_areas if metadata/dirs or disk_areas in use.
- Identify and record this state.
Don't skip full scan when independent mdas are present even if memlock is set.
- Clusters and OOM aren't supported, so no problem doing the proper scans.
Avoid revalidating the label cache immediately after scanning.
- A simple optimisation.
Support scanning for a single VG in independent mdas.
- Not used by the fix but I left it in anyway as later patches might use it.
For example, when using '--config "backup { ... }"' line, the values from
lvm.conf (or default values) should be overridden. This patch adds
reinitialisation of archive and backup handling on toolcontext refresh
which makes these settings to be applied.
We can already detect MD devices internally. But when using MD partitions,
these have "block extended major" (blkext) assigned (259). Blkext major
is also used in general, so we need to check whether the original device
is an MD device actually.
Adding configure.in support for Replicators.
Adding basic lib lvm support for Replicators.
Adding flags REPLICATOR and REPLICATOR_LOG.
Adding segments SEG_REPLICATOR and SEG_REPLICATOR_DEV.
Adding basic methods for handling replicator metadata.
the device cache file is dumped both in vgscan and clvmd process.
Unfortunately, clvmd calls lvmcache_label_scan,
it properly destroys persistent filter, but during
persistent_filter_dump it merges old cache content back!
This causes that change in filters is not properly propagated
into device cache after vgscan on cluster.
(Only new devices are added.)
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=591861
For mirror repair (and similar tasks) it can happen that full
device rescan is issued from clvmd.
Because code can be in the middle of repair (calling suspend)
clvmd should never try to scan suspended devices
(otherwise it causes deadlock).
Also code must not change ignore_suspended_device flag when
doing refresh_filters (called from lvmcache scan code).
The sysfs filter initialise hash of available devices using
scan of /sys/block. We need to refresh even this hash
when performing full scan otherwise the newly appeared
device could be rejected, because there is no entry
in sysfs filter.
This easily could happen when attaching new device
to cluster node. (Only force refresh of context
in clvmd -R works here now).
Unfortunately consequences of this are much worse,
missing device part on that node is replaced with missing segment
(even when no partial arg is selected) and this directly
lead to data corruption.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=538515
Simply fix it by refreshing device filters in lvmcache
before performing the full device scan.
Add configure --enable-units-compat to set si_unit_consistency off by default.
Use standard output units for 'PE Size' and 'Stripe size' in pv/lvdisplay.
E.g.
# vgscan
Parse error at byte 2360 (line 54): expected a value
Failed to load config file /etc/lvm/lvm.conf
You have a memory leak (not released memory pool):
[0x818c788] library (12 bytes)
...
Very simple / crude method of removing 'is_static' from initialization.
Why should we require an application tell us whether it is linked
statically or dynamically to libLVM? If the application is linked
statically, but libraries exist and dlopen() calls succeed, why
do we care if it's statically linked?
This allows us to remove one argument from create_toolcontext() and
moves it closer to a generic library init function.
In the arg_*() functions, we just use _the_args() directly.
For now we leave the first parameter to these
arg_*() functions (struct cmd_context *) because
of the number of files involved in removing the
parameter.
Move init_full_scan_done(0) and init_mirror_in_sync(0) from init_lvm()
after call to create_toolcontext() to _init_globals(), called from bottom
of create_toolcontext(). No functional change.

init_formats() sets up the command formats, and currently sets cmd->fmt_backup
but does not set cmd->fmt to a default value. This seems incorrect so we
set it to cmd->default_settings.fmt before returning.
The call we remove here may set cmd->fmt based on a command line setting.
But it is safe to remove this, because the only caller of init_lvm() that
cares about the cmdline override is the cmdline tools (clvmd does not care),
called from lvm2_main(). After lvm2_main() calls init_lvm(), it later calls
lvm_run_command(). In lvm_run_command(), we have a call to _apply_settings(),
which has the identical assignment of cmd->fmt that this patch removes.
Identical argument to previous patch which removed archive_enable() calls.
We add a new parameter to backup_init() which sets the enable value based
on the cmd->default_settings.backup value. This value was used to set
cmd->current_settings.backup, used in the removed backup_enable() call.
_init_backup() calls archive_init(), which originally set 'enabled' to
a hardcoded '1' value. This seems incorrect based on my read of other
areas of the code so here we add a 'enabled' paramter to archive_init().
We pass in cmd->default_settings.archive, which is obtained from the
config tree. Later in create_toolcontext, cmd->current_settings is
set to cmd->default_settings. The archive_enable() call we remove
here was using cmd->current_settings to set the 'archive' enable
value. The final value of cmd->archive_params->enabled should thus
be equivalent to the original code.
This one we actually need to move. _init_logging() is called from
create_toolcontext(), which makes this call:
/* Test mode */
cmd->default_settings.test =
find_config_tree_int(cmd, "global/test", 0);
But it does not call init_test(). So we need an init_test() somewhere.
The most logical place is to put it inside _init_logging(), since this
is where the config value is read and default_settings are set. Placing
the init_test() call here matches what is done with other variables and
seems to make sense.
Add --config for overriding most config file settings from cmdline.
Quote arguments when printing command line.
Remove linefeed from 'initialising logging' message.
Add 'Completed' debug message.
Don't attempt library exit after reloading config files.
Always compile with libdevmapper, even if device-mapper is disabled.
Additional verbosity level -vvvv includes line numbers and backtraces.
Verbose messages now go to stderr not stdout.
Close any stray file descriptors before starting.
Refine partitionable checks for certain device types.
Allow devices/types to override built-ins.
Clear many compiler warnings (i386) & associated bugs - hopefully without
introducing too many new bugs:-) (Same exercise required for other archs.)
Default compilation has optimisation - or else use ./configure --enable-debug
Lots of changes/very little testing so far => there'll be bugs!
Use 'vgcreate -M text' to create a volume group with its metadata stored
in text files. Text format metadata changes should be reasonably atomic,
with a (basic) automatic recovery mechanism if the system crashes while a
change is in progress.
Add a metadata section to lvm.conf to specify multiple directories if
you want (recommended) to keep multiple copies of the metadata (eg on
different filesystems).
e.g. metadata {
dirs = ["/etc/lvm/metadata1","/usr/local/lvm/metadata2"]
}
Plenty of refinements still in the pipeline.
