Similar to other vg_set_* functions, we create a vg_set_clustered() function

any limitations of clusters.

Split pvcreate_validate_params into recovery and non-recovery parameters.
This is necessary so we can call the non-recovery validate function from
vgextend / vgcreate. Note in the pvcreate tool case, we must call the
recovery validation function first (see treatment of pe_start and --zero),
and that we add a call to fill_default_pvcreate_params before the validation
functions.
We need defaults for pvcreate_params at a higher level - this will
allow us to use a common function from the tools to take defaults,
then fill in any non-defaults from the commandline.
Future patches will refactor vgcreate/vgextend to call this function
if one or more pvcreate parameters are given on the commandline.
Another refactoring for implicit pvcreate support. We need to get
the pvcreate parameters somehow to the vg_extend routine. Options
seemed to be:
1. Attach the parameters to struct volume_group. I personally
did not like this idea in most cases, though one could make an
agrument why it might be ok at least for some of the parameters
(e.g. metadatacopies).
2. Pass them in to the extend routine. This second route seemed
to be the best approach given the constraints.
Future patches will parse the command line and fill in the actual
values for the pvcreate_single call.
Should be no functional change.
Should be no functional change. If this parameter is set to NULL, just fail
the extend if the device is not already a PV. If non-NULL, try pvcreate_single
before failing. Note that pvcreate_single() handles the log_error in case
of failure so we just return 0 if pvcreate_single() fails.
Clean up VG_RESIZEABLE flag by creating vg_is_resizeable().
Update comment - we no longer have ALLOW_RESIZEABLE.
Also use vg_is_exported() in one place missed by earlier patch.
Should be no functional change.
Of the vgs field vg_attr, a few of the most likely to be used attributes
are clustered, exported, and partial. This patch adds the following 3
functions:
uint64_t lvm_vg_is_clustered(const vg_t vg)
uint64_t lvm_vg_is_exported(const vg_t vg)
uint64_t lvm_vg_is_partial(const vg_t vg)
Now that we've split vg_remove_single into two routines, in the first routine
that only manipulates memory, we move the PVs from the vg->pvs list to the
vg->removed_pvs list. Then later, we iterate through this list to write the
removed PVs to disk, which removes them from the volume group and places them
into the internal ORPHAN VG.

Split vg_remove_single into vg_remove_check (mandatory checks before
vgremove) and vg_remove (do actual remove by committing to disk).
In liblvm, we'd like to provide an consistent API that allows multiple
changes in memory, then let lvm_vg_write() control the commit to disk. In
some cases (for example, lvresize calls fsadm) this may not be possible.
However, since we are using an object model and dividing things into small
operations, the most logical model seems to be the lvm_vg_write model, and
handling the special cases as they arrive. So as best as possible
we move towards this end.
A possible optimization would be to consolidate vg_remove (committing)
code with vgreduce code. A second possible optimization is making vgreduce
of the last device equivalent to vgremove. Today, lvm_vg_reduce fails if
vgreduce is called with the last device, but from an object model perspective
we could view this as equivalent to vgremove and allow it. My gut feel is
we do not want to do this though.
Author: Dave Wysochanski <dwysocha@redhat.com>
Later patches should consolidate the vgremove / vgreduce functions but for
now let's clarify what vg_remove actually does by changing the name.

For now, a simple way to enforce the read/write semantics is to just save the
open mode of the VG. If the caller uses lvm_vg_create, the mode is write.
The caller using lvm_vg_open can use either read or write to open the VG.
Once we have this, we enforce the permissions on each API call and don't allow
a caller to modify a VG that has not been opened properly.
This may be better combined with the locking mode, but I view that as future
cleanup, past this initial release. The intial release should enforce the
basic object semantics though, as described in the lvm.h file.

Adding the ability to get the seqno is important for an application to
determine if something has changed in a VG. Otherwise, the only way to
know is to open the VG with write permission and hold the handle.
This function behaves a little bit different than vg_reduce_single, because
it allowes to remove even the latest pv. This has been done to be consistent
to lvm_vg_create, which creates an empty vg.
removed_pvs has been added to the volume_group struct. vg_reduce adds remove
pvs to this list to be able to commit the changes for the pvs in lvm_vg_comm
in liblvm2app.
Initialize removed_pvs list in format-specific volume_group constructors.
Ideally, we should have a base constructor here that initializes the general
non-format specific members of struct volume_group. But until then, there
are multiple places to initialize these members. Maybe a better patch would
be a base constructor patch for struct volume_group. That is more work
though.

For liblvm 'get' functions, we should share code with the reporting functions.
This means we need common code to return the values for the fields.
In this patch we refactor a few of the fields needed in liblvm.
Unfortunately, for the simple fields that do derefernces of structure
members (for example, vg_extent_count), we cannot call the common function
from the reporting infrastructure without more refactoring. The reason is
that the dereference of the simple fields is done deep inside the reporting
code (to get the generic "data" pointer), and the display function is a
generic 'size32' function. We can fix these issues later with more
refactoring.
Should be no functional change and the testsuite should cover any possible
regressions. The only fields in the report affected by this patch are:
vg_size, vg_free, and pv_mda_count.

After some refactorings, we can now move the bulk of _lvcreate into the

and allows us to re-use the function from liblvm.

We provide a lock type that behaves like no_locking, but is not
clustered. Moreover, it also forbids any write locks. This magically (and
consistently) prevents use of clustered VGs, or changing local VGs with
--ignorelockingfailure. As a bonus, we can remove the special hacks in a few
places. Of course, people looking for trouble can always set their locking_type
to 0 to override.
Define the 5 main liblvm objects to be the pv, vg, lv, lvseg, and pvseg.
We need handles defined to all these objects in order for liblvm to be

- move lv_segment and pv_segment forward declarations into lvm.h
- add lvseg_t and pvseg_t to lvm.h
NOTE: We currently have an inconsistency in handle definitions.
lvm_t is defined as a pointer, while these other handles are just
structures. We should pick one scheme and be consistent - perhaps
define all handles as pointers (this is what I've seen elsewhere).

vg_t *vg_create(struct cmd_context *cmd, const char *vg_name);
This is the first step towards the API called to create a VG.
Call vg_lock_newname() inside this function. Use _vg_make_handle()
where possible.
Now we have 2 ways to construct a volume group:
1) vg_read: Used when constructing an existing VG from disks
2) vg_create: Used when constructing a new VG
Both of these interfaces obtain a lock, and return a vg_t *.
The usage of _vg_make_handle() inside vg_create() doesn't fit
perfectly but it's ok for now. Needs some cleanup though and I've
noted "FIXME" in the code.
Add the new vg_create() plus vg 'set' functions for non-default
VG parameters in the following tools:
- vgcreate: Fairly straightforward refactoring. We just moved
vg_lock_newname inside vg_create so we check the return via
vg_read_error.
- vgsplit: The refactoring here is a bit more tricky. Originally
we called vg_lock_newname and depending on the error code, we either
read the existing vg or created the new one. Now vg_create()
calls vg_lock_newname, so we first try to create the VG. If this
fails with FAILED_EXIST, we can then do the vg_read. If the
create succeeds, we check the input parameters and set any new
values on the VG.
TODO in future patches:
1. The VG_ORPHAN lock needs some thought. We may want to treat
this as any other VG, and require the application to obtain a handle
and pass it to other API calls (for example, vg_extend). Or,
we may find that hiding the VG_ORPHAN lock inside other APIs is
the way to go. I thought of placing the VG_ORPHAN lock inside
vg_create() and tying it to the vg handle, but was not certain
this was the right approach.
2. Cleanup error paths. Integrate vg_read_error() with vg_create and
vg_read* error codes and/or the new error APIs.

In liblvm, we will reserve the word 'change' to mean an API that

Various tools need to check for existence of a VG before doing something
(vgsplit, vgrename, vgcreate). Currently we don't have an interface to
check for existence, but the existence check is part of the vg_read* call(s).
This patch is an attempt to pull out some of that functionality into a
separate function, and hopefully simplify our vg_read interface, and
move those patches along.
vg_lock_newname() is only concerned about checking whether a vg exists in
the system. Unfortunately, we cannot just scan the system, but we must first
obtain a lock. Since we are reserving a vgname, we take a WRITE lock on
the vgname. Once obtained, we scan the system to ensure the name does
not exist. The return codes and behavior is in the function header.
You might think of this function as similar to an open() call with
O_CREAT and O_EXCL flags (returns failure with -EEXIST if file already
exists).
NOTE: I think including the word "lock" in the function name is important,
as it clearly states the function obtains a lock and makes the code more
readable, especially when it comes to cleanup / unlocking. The ultimate
function name is somewhat open for debate though so later we may rename.
Because preload of table for snapshot can produce snapshot
metadata (in kernel cow header) read.
Code should suspend origin first to avoid possible deadlock
when preloading (thus calling snapshot in-kernel constructor)
for origin with suspended cow device.
(fixes previous commit)
Several commands calls process_each_vg() and in provided
callback it explicitly recovers VG if inconsistent.
(vgchange, vgconvert, vgscan)
It means that old VG is released and reread but the function
above (process_one_vg) tries to unlock and release old VG.
Patch moves the repair logic into _process_one_vg() function.
It always tries to read vg (even inconsistent) and then decides
what to do according new defined parameter.
Also patch unifies inconsistent error messages.
The only slight change if for vgremove command, where
it now tries to repair VG before it removes if force arg is given.
(It works similar way before, just the order of operation changed).
When mirror convert polling is started (mainly as backgound process,
in lvchange -a y or in lvconvert itself) it tries to read VG
and LV identified by its name.
Unfortunatelly, the VG can have already different LV under the same name,
and various more or less funny things can happen (note that
_finish_lvconvert_mirror suspends the volume for example).
(the typical example is our testing script which continuously recreates
LVs under the same name in the same VG.)
This patch adds optional uuid parameter which helps to properly
select the monitoring object. For lvconvert polling it is set to LV UUID
and both _get_lvconvert_vg and _get_lvconvert_lv uses it to read proper VG/LV.
(In the pvmove case it is NULL, here we poll for physical volume name).
If there is no free area for log, code should break the loop.
(Otherwise it uses uninitializes areas later.)
Easily reproducible using lvconvert --repair
- kill device with log
- run lvconvert --repair vg/lv (with no PV usable for log)
During vgreduce is failed mirror image replaced with error segment,
this segmant type has always area_count == 0.
Current code expects that there is at least one area with device,
patch fixes it by additional check (fixes segfault during vgreduce).
Also do not calculate readahead in every lv_info call, we only need
to cache PV readahead before activation calls which locks memory.
When we are stacking LV over device, which has for some reason
increased read_ahead (e.g. MD RAID), the read_ahead hint
for libdevmapper is wrong (it is zero).
If the calculated read_ahead hint is zero, patch uses read_ahead of underlying device
(if first segment is PV) when setting DM_READ_AHEAD_MINIMUM_FLAG.
Because we are using dev-cache, it also store this value to cache for future use
(if several LVs are over one PV, BLKRAGET is called only once for underlying device.)
This should fix all the reamining problems with readahead mismatch reported
for DM over MD configurations (and similar cases).
We can temporarily violate max_lv during mirror conversion etc.
(If the operation fails, orphan mirror images are visible to administrator
for manual remove for example. Not that this should ever happen:-)
Force limit only for lvcreate (and vg merge) command.
Patch also adds simple max_lv tests into testsuite
The vg->lv_count parameter now includes always number of visible
logical volumes.
Note that virtual snapshot volume (snapshotX) is never visible,
but it is stored in metadata with visible flag.
link_lv_to_vg and unlink_lv_from_vg are the only functions
for adding/removing logical volume from volume group.
Only these function should manipulate with vg->lvs list.
The snapshot segment (snapshotX) is created twice
during the text metadata segment processing.
This can cause temporary violation of max_lv count.
Simplify the code, snapshot segment is properly initialized
in init_snapshot_seg function now and do not need to be replaced
by vg_add_snapshot call.
The vg_add_snapshot() is now usefull only for adding new
snapshot and it shares the same initialization function.
The snapshot name is always generated, name paramater can be
removed from function call.
The seg variable is temporary variable for list iterator,
code cannot expect that after iteration it remains NULL
(it contains non-NULL pointer here id list is empty).
Patch fixes first_seg function so it now correctly returns NULL
for empty segment list.
Add lvs origin_size field.
Fix linux configure --enable-debug to exclude -O2.
Still a few rough edges, but hopefully usable now:
lvcreate -s vg1 -L 100M --virtualoriginsize 1T
The backup() call store metadata from memory.
But in cluster backup() call performs
remote nodes metadata backup and it reads data from disk.
For metadata backup consistency,
patch moves all backup() calls after vg_commit.
(Moreover, some tools already do that this way.)
Since now, all code reading volume group is responsible for releasing
the memory allocated by calling vg_release(vg).
(For simplicity of use, vg_releae can be called for vg == NULL,
the same logic like free(NULL)).
Also providing simple macro for unlocking & releasing in one step,
tools usualy uses this approach.
The global memory pool (cmd->mem) should be used only for global
physical volume operations.
This patch have to be applied with all subsequent patches to complete
memory pool per vg logic.
Using separate memory pool has quite bit memory saving impact when
using large VGs, this is mainly needed when we have to use
preallocated and locked memory (and should not overflow from that
memory space).
The all_pvs list, used in vg_read, should make its own private
copy of pv structures, otherwise (when vg will use its own pool)
it will point to released memory pool.
The same applies for get_pvs() call.
Patch adds pv_list copy helper and adds explicit memory pool
parameter into _copy_pv.
(Please note that all these helper functions cannot guarantee that
vg related fields are valid - proper vg read & lock must be used
if it is requested.)
Patch fixes these problems:
- during the snapshot creation process, it needs create 2 LVs,
one is cow, second becomes snapshot.
If the code fails in vg_add_snapshot, code lvcreate will not remove
LV cow volume.
- if max_lv is set and VG contains snapshot, it can happen that
during the activation lv_count is temporarily increased over the limit
and VG metadata are not properly processed
see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=490298
- vgcfgrestore alows restore with max_lv set to lower valuer that actual
LV count. This later leads to situation that max_lv is completely ignored.
- vgck doesn't call vg_validate(). It should at least try:-)

Intended behaviour of the code now:
pe_start in the lvm2 format PV label header is set only by pvcreate (or
vgconvert -M2) and then preserved in *all* operations thereafter.
In some specialist cases, after the PV is added to a VG, the pe_start
field in the VG metadata may hold a different value and if so, it
overrides the other one for as long as the PV is in such a VG.
Currently, the field storing the size of the data area in the PV label
header always holds 0. As it only has meaning in the context of a
volume group, it is calculated whenever the PV is added to a VG (and can
be derived from extent_size and pe_count in the VG metadata).
Reports the size of the smallest metadata area in a PV or a VG.
Useful to confirm pvcreate --metadatasize or pvmetadatasize setting in
/etc/lvm/lvm.conf file.
NOTE: Actual value in these fields will most always differ from that
given in pvcreate options due to rounding and alignment effects.
pvcreate $DEV
vgcreate -s 1k vg_test $DEV
lvcreate -l 1 -n lv1 vg_test
..
/dev/vg_test/lv1: write failed after 1024 of 4096 at 0: No space left on device
Just check for maximum write size in set_lv.
It fails for 1k PE now.
Patch adds log_region_size into allocation habdle struct
and use it in _alloc_parallel_area() for proper log size calculation
instead of hardcoded 1 extent - which can fail.
Reproducer for incorrect log size calculation:
DEV=/dev/sd[bcd]
pvcreate $DEV
vgcreate -s 1k vg_test $DEV
lvcreate -m1 -L 12M -n mirr vg_test
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=477040
The log size calculation is mostly copied from kernel code.
(Avoids having same mirror table loaded twice concurrently by first
using a 'zero' table to set the size of the device so when mirror
table is preloaded it doesn't have to be activated immediately.)
Fixes problem when after downconvert to lvm1 VG is broken:
# lvcreate -n lv1 -l 4 vg_test
Invalid LV in extent map (PV /dev/sdb1, PE 0, LV 0, LE 0)
...
