The commit 82d83a01ce
"autoactivation: refresh existing VG before autoactivation"
causes problems (dangling udev_sync cookies, slow processing
of the pvscan --cache --major --minor call from udev rules)
when the autoactivation handler is run in parallel on
several PVs that belong to the same VG. Revert this patch
until the exact source of the problem is found and then
properly fixed and handled.
The patch allows the user to also pvmove snapshots and origin logical
volumes. This means pvmove should be able to move all segment types.
I have, however, disallowed moving converting or merging logical volumes.
Top-level LVs (like RAID, mirror or thin) are ignored when determining which
portions of an LV to pvmove. If the user specified the name of an LV to
move and it was one of the above types, it would be skipped. The code would
never move on to check whether its sub-LVs needed moving because their names
did not match what the user specified.
The solution is to check whether a sub-LVs is part of the LV whose name was
specified by the user - not just if there was a name match.
This patch allows pvmove to operate on RAID, mirror and thin LVs.
The key component is the ability to avoid moving a RAID or mirror
sub-LV onto a PV that already has another RAID sub-LV on it.
(e.g. Avoid placing both images of a RAID1 LV on the same PV.)
Top-level LVs are processed to determine which PVs to avoid for
the sake of redundancy, while bottom-level LVs are processed
to determine which segments/extents to move.
This approach does have some drawbacks. By eliminating whole PVs
from the allocation list, we might miss the opportunity to perform
pvmove in some senarios. For example, if we have 3 devices and
a linear uses half of the first, a RAID1 uses half of the first and
half of the second, and a linear uses half of the third (FIGURE 1);
we should be able to pvmove the first device (FIGURE 2).
FIGURE 1:
[ linear ] [ -RAID- ] [ linear ]
[ -RAID- ] [ ] [ ]
FIGURE 2:
[ moved ] [ -RAID- ] [ linear ]
[ moved ] [ linear ] [ -RAID- ]
However, the approach we are using would eliminate the second
device from consideration and would leave us with too little space
for allocation. In these situations, the user does have the ability
to specify LVs and move them one at a time.
Recent kernels allow messages to respond with a string.
Add dm_task_get_message_response() to libdevmapper to perform some
basic sanity checks and return this.
Have 'dmsetup message' display any response.
DM statistics will make extensive use of this.

When autoactivating a VG, there could be an existing VG with exactly
the same PV UUIDs. The PVs could be reappeared after previous
loss/disconnect (for example disconnecting and reconnecting iscsi).
Since there's no "autodeactivation" yet, the mappings for the LVs
from the VG were left in the system even if the device was disconnected.
These mappings also hold the major:minor of the underlying device.
So if the device reappears, it is assigned a different major:minor
pair (...and kernel name). We need to cope with this during
autoactivation so any existing mappings are corrected for any changes.
The VG refresh does that (the vgchange --refresh functionality) -
call this before VG autoactivation.
(If the VG does not exist yet, the VG refresh is NOP)
Split out the partitioned device filter that needs to open the device
and move the multipath filter in front of it.
When a device is multipathed, sending I/O to the underlying paths may
cause problems, the most obvious being I/O errors visible to lvm if a
path is down.
Revert the incorrect <backtrace> messages added when a device doesn't
pass a filter.
Log each filter initialisation to show sequence.
Avoid duplicate 'Using $device' debug messages.
Commit ID 8615234c0f failed to include
the actual code changes that were made to fix the bug. Instead, all
tests went in to validate the bug fix. This patch adds the missing
code changes.
1) Since the min|maxrecoveryrate args are size_kb_ARGs and they
are recorded (and sent to the kernel) in terms of kB/sec/disk,
we must back out the factor multiple done by size_kb_arg. This
is already performed by 'lvcreate' for these arguments.
2) Allow all RAID types, not just RAID1, to change these values.
3) Add min|maxrecoveryrate_ARG to the list of 'update_partial_unsafe'
commands so that lvchange will not complain about needing at
least one of a certain set of arguments and failing.
4) Add tests that check that these values can be set via lvchange
and lvcreate and that 'lvs' reports back the proper results.
If there is no RAID support in the kernel but the default mirror
segtype is "raid1", converting legacy mirrors can be problematic.
For example, changing the log type or converting a mirror to a linear
LV does not require the RAID modules to be present. However, because
lp->segtype is set to be RAID1 by the configuration file, the command
fails.
We should only be setting lp->segtype when converting mirrors if it is
going to change (e.g. to linear or between mirror types).
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
Initial basic support for repair.
It currently takes pool metadata spare volume, which
is used for recovery. New spare is created if the volume
is successfuly repaired.
After the operation the previous _tmeta volume is moved
into _tmeta%d volume and if everything is ok, this volume
could be removed.
New _tmeta needs to be pvmoved to proper place and also
converted to i.e. mirror if it should be mirrored.
Later version will try to automate some steps here.
Suggest to use _tdata and _tmeta devices for that.
This fixes regression from too relaxed change in
f1d5f6ae81
Without this patch there are some empty LVs created before
mirror code recognizes it cannot continue.
(in release fix)
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).
The --type mirror requires -m/--mirrrors:
lvconvert --type mirror vg/lvol0
--type mirror requires -m/--mirrors
Run `lvconvert --help' for more information.
The --type raid* is allowed (the checks already existed):
lvconvert --type raid10 vg/lvol0
Converting the segment type for vg/lvol0 from linear to raid10 is not yet supported.
The --type snapshot is a synonym to -s/--snapshot:
lvconvert -s vg/lvol0 vg/lvol1
Logical volume lvol1 converted to snapshot.
lvconvert --type snapshot vg/lvol0 vg/lvol1
Logical volume lvol1 converted to snapshot.
All the other segment types are not supported, e.g.:
lvconvert --type zero vg/lvol0
Conversion using --type zero is not supported.
Run `lvconvert --help' for more information.
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.
The lvchange has both -k/--setactivationskip and
-K/--ignoreactivationskip option available for use.
The vgchange has only -K/--ignoreactivationskip, but
not the -k/--setactivationskip as the ACTIVATION_SKIP
flag is an LV property, not a VG one and so we change it
only by using the lvchange...
Also add -k/--setactivationskip y/n and -K/--ignoreactivationskip
options to lvcreate.
The --setactivationskip y sets the flag in metadata for an LV to
skip the LV during activation. Also, the newly created LV is not
activated.
Thin snapsots have this flag set automatically if not specified
directly by the --setactivationskip y/n option.
The --ignoreactivationskip overrides the activation skip flag set
in metadata for an LV (just for the run of the command - the flag
is not changed in metadata!)
A few examples for the lvcreate with the new options:
(non-thin snap LV => skip flag not set in MDA + LV activated)
raw/~ $ lvcreate -l1 vg
Logical volume "lvol0" created
raw/~ $ lvs -o lv_name,attr vg/lvol0
LV Attr

(non-thin snap LV + -ky => skip flag set in MDA + LV not activated)
raw/~ $ lvcreate -l1 -ky vg

Normally, the lvm dumpconfig processes only the configuration tree
that is at the top of the cascade. Considering the cascade is:
CONFIG_STRING -> CONFIG_PROFILE -> CONFIG_MERGED_FILES/CONFIG_FILE
...then:
(dumpconfig of lvm.conf only)
raw/~ $ lvm dumpconfig allocation
allocation {
maximise_cling=1
mirror_logs_require_separate_pvs=0
thin_pool_metadata_require_separate_pvs=0
thin_pool_chunk_size=64
}
(dumpconfig of selected profile configuration only)
raw/~ $ lvm dumpconfig --profile test allocation
allocation {
thin_pool_chunk_size=8
thin_pool_discards="passdown"
thin_pool_zero=1
}
(dumpconfig of given --config configuration only)
raw/~ $ lvm dumpconfig --config 'allocation{thin_pool_chunk_size=16}' allocation
allocation {
thin_pool_chunk_size=16
}
The --mergedconfig option causes the configuration cascade to be
merged before processing it with dumpconfig:
(dumpconfig of merged selected profile and lvm.conf)
raw/~ $ lvm dumpconfig --profile test allocation --mergedconfig
allocation {
maximise_cling=1
thin_pool_zero=1
thin_pool_discards="passdown"
mirror_logs_require_separate_pvs=0
thin_pool_metadata_require_separate_pvs=0
thin_pool_chunk_size=8
}
(dumpconfig merged given --config and selected profile and lvm.conf)
raw/~ $ lvm dumpconfig --profile test --config 'allocation{thin_pool_chunk_size=16}' allocation --mergedconfig
allocation {
maximise_cling=1
thin_pool_zero=1
thin_pool_discards="passdown"
mirror_logs_require_separate_pvs=0
thin_pool_metadata_require_separate_pvs=0
thin_pool_chunk_size=16
}
Hence with the --mergedconfig, we are able to see the
configuration that is actually used when processing any
LVM command while using any combination of --config/--profile
options together with lvm.conf file.
When CFG_DEF_TREE_MISSING is created, it needs to know the status
of the check done on the tree used (the CFG_USED flag).
This bug was introduced with f1c292cc38
"make it possible to run several instances of configuration check at
once". This patch separated the CFG_USED and CFG_VALID flags in
a separate 'status' field in struct cft_check_handle.
However, when creating some trees, like CFG_DEF_TREE_MISSING,
we need this status to do a comparison with full config definition
to determine which items are missing and for which default values
were used. Otherwise, all items would be considered missing.
So, pass this status in a new field called 'check_status' in
struct config_def_tree_spec that defines how the (dumpconfig) tree
should be constructed (and this struct is passed to
config_def_create_tree fn then).
