The vg->pv_write_list contains pv_list structs for which
vg_write() should call pv_write().
The new list will replace vg->pvs_to_write that contains
vg_to_create structs which are used to perform higher-level
pvcreate-related operations. The higher level pvcreate
operations will be moved out of vg_write() to higher levels.
Since we already check in few other places 'info' is not NULL,
do the same for others - however when info would be NULL
it more or less looks like internal error.
Reshuffle messages during pvremove.
Always print WARNING: when PV is in use so using options
--force --force doesn't make this important user
notification go away.
Simplify variable 'used' usage (so older gcc doesn't warn
about the use of unitilizied variable).
Add some '.' into messages.
Currently it's been checked for 'zero' header for thin-pool,
but lets use it always for cache as well - since it's relatively 'cheap'
detection of read 'error' problems as thin/cache tools
currently do not work fast enough in this case.
When update fails in suspend() (sending of messages
fails because metadata space is full) call resume(),
so the locking sequence works properly for clustering.
Also failing deactivation should unlock memory.
Fix reporting of Fail thin-pool target status
as attr[8] letter 'F'.
Report 'needs_check' status from thin-pool target via
attr field [4] (letter 'c'/'C'), and also via CheckNeeded field.

Ask for confirmation when using pvcreate/pvremove on a PV which is
marked as belonging to a VG, just like we do in case of a PV which
belongs to known VG:
$ pvcreate -ff /dev/sda
Really INITIALIZE physical volume "/dev/sda" that is marked as belonging to a VG [y/n]? n
/dev/sda: physical volume not initialized
$ pvremove -ff /dev/sda
Really WIPE LABELS from physical volume "/dev/sda" that is marked as belonging to a VG [y/n]? n
/dev/sda: physical volume label not removed
The host that owns foreign VGs is responsible for fixing up PV_EXT_USED
flag - the same already applies to repairing any inconsistent VG.
This patch also moves the iteration over vg->pvs inside
_check_or_repair_pv_ext fn - it's cleaner this way.
pv->vg is not set yet during pvcreate processing. Use pv->fmt instead to
check for these fake PVs (all normal PVs have format defined, devices
which are not PVs don't have this set).
This fixes commit 0000db7f98.
Some of the PVs are not even orphan PVs - they're fake PVs - this can
happen if we're listing all devices with "pvs -a". Such PV must not
be marked as used.
The backup_restore_vg is used directly for restoring the VG from backup.
It's also used to do the VG conversions from one metadata format to
another which means vgconvert calls backup_restore_vg too.
When restoring VG from backup, we need to rewrite/write PV headers as
PVs may have been orphans before and now they're becoming part of some
VG - we need to write the PV_EXT_USED flag at least.
When using the backup_restore_vg for vgconvert, we need to write
completely new PV header in different format.
Avoid the special "pv_write" call and handling that was used before
this patch in vgconvert (vgconvert_single function to be more precise)
and reuse existing internal interface to register PV header for writing
(or rewriting) via vg->pvs_to_write list instead like we do it elsewhere
in the code.
This patch also resolves a problem in which PV headers with target
format were written in the vgconvert_single fn as orphans and VG
metadata were added later on - this was a tiny hack actually.
We can't do this now - we need to write the PV as belonging
to a VG because otherwise the PV_EXT_USED flag won't be written
properly (if the PV header is written as orphan, the PV_EXT_USED
is set to 0, of course, even though metadata are attached later).
So this patch removes this tiny inconsistency which was passing
just fine before because we didn't have any relation to the VG
in PV header before. Now we have the PV_EXT_USED flag which says
the "PV is used in some VG".
The same check as we already do for orphan PVs, just the other way
round now: if the PV is surely part of some VG and any PV the VG
contains does not have the PV_EXT_USED flag set, repair it.
For example - /dev/sda here is in VG vg and it's incorrectly not
marked as used by PV_EXT_USED flag:
pvs --binary -o pv_ext_vsn,pv_in_use
WARNING: Volume Group vg is not consistent.
WARNING: Repairing Physical Volume /dev/sda that is in Volume Group vg but not marked as used.
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree ExtVsn PInUse
/dev/sda vg lvm2 a-- 124.00m 124.00m 2 1
PV header extension versions:
0 - the original PV without any extensions
1 - bootloader area support added
2 - PV_EXT_USED flag support added
So do the associated checks related to PV_EXT_USED flag only if
PV header extension found is of version 2 and higher.
If we know that the PV is orphan, meaning there's at least one MDA on
that PV which does not reference any VG and at the same time there's
PV_EXT_USED flag set, we're certainly in an inconsistent state and we
need to fix this.
For example, such situation can happen during vgremove/vgreduce if we
removed/reduced the VG, but we haven't written PV headers yet because
vgremove stopped abruptly for whatever reason just before writing new
PV headers with updated state, including PV extension flags (and so the
PV_EXT_USED flag).
However, in case the PV has no MDAs at all, we can't double-check
whether the PV_EXT_USED is correct or not - if that PV is marked
as used, it's either:
- really used (but other disks with MDAs are missing)
- or the error state as described above is hit
User needs to overwrite the PV header directly if it's really clear
the PV having no MDAs does not belong to any VG and at the same time
it's still marked as being in use (pvcreate -ff <dev_name> will fix this).
For example - /dev/sda here has 1 MDA, orphan and is incorrectly marked
with PV_EXT_USED flag:
$ pvs --binary -o+pv_in_use
WARNING: Found inconsistent standalone Physical Volumes.
WARNING: Repairing flag incorrectly marking Physical Volume /dev/sda as used.
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree InUse
/dev/sda lvm2 --- 128.00m 128.00m 0
For example:
$ pvs -o pv_name,vg_name,pv_in_use
PV VG InUse
/dev/sda vg used
/dev/sdb
/dev/sdc used
(sda is part of vg - it's used
sdb is not part of vg - it's not used
sdc is part of vg, but MDAs missing - it's used)
Scenario:
$ pvcreate /dev/sda
Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
We're adding the PV to a VG.
Before this patch:
$ vgcreate vg /dev/sda
Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
Volume group "vg" successfully created
With this path applied:
$ vgcreate vg /dev/sda
Volume group "vg" successfully created
...and verbose log containing: "Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully written"
Make sure we won't use a PV that is already marked as used. Normally,
VG metadata would stop us from doing that, but we can run into a
situation where such metadata is missing because PVs with MDAs
are missing and the PVs left are the ones with 0 MDAs.
(/dev/sda in this example has 0 MDAs and it belongs to a VG,
but other PVs with MDA are missing)
$ pvs -o pv_name,pv_mda_count /dev/sda
PV #PMda
/dev/sda 0
$ pvcreate /dev/sda
PV '/dev/sda' is marked as belonging to a VG but its metadata is missing.

$ pvremove /dev/sda

(If you are certain you need pvremove, then confirm by using --force twice.)
$ vgcreate vg /dev/sda
Physical volume '/dev/sda' is marked as belonging to a VG but its metadata is missing.
Unable to add physical volume '/dev/sda' to volume group 'vg'.
We'll use this struct in subsequent patches for PVs which should
be rewritten, not just created. So rename struct pv_to_create to
struct pv_to_write for clarity.

Simplify calculation of extents rounding needed for
segment size.
Segment size has to divisible by 'extent count' needed to contain
whole stripe. LVM currently does not support stripes across segment.
In case the stripe size is bigger then extent size,
require bigger rounding.
'verbose' was marked as a boolean option while it
takes integer args - so it has limited usage to 0 or 1,
but we supported 0-4 at least.
Fix it by switching to corrent int type.
(Hopefully noone was trying to use this variable as true/yes/false/no
way - as the would be unsupported/undocumented).
Reporter noticed lvm2 incorrectly translated
lvm2 threshold value to water mark in commit:
99237f0908
Fix it by properly translating size to number of
blocks in thin-pool and then calc for free blocks
matching configured lvm2 threshold value.

Normally, we generate and provide lvm.conf file where use_blkid_wiping
is set based on whether support for this is compiled in or not. This was
generated properly based on configure.
However, if lvm.conf is not used at all (someone deletes it) or the value
in lvm.conf is commented out (user edited it), we still need to use
proper default value that is based on DEFAULT_USE_BLKID_WIPING taken
from configure script - we used hardcoded value of "1" in this case
by mistake.
We already do check for suspended devs within udev rules where
the pvscan is to update lvmetad. So the check for suspended devs
in "pre-lvmetad" chain is not useful here - remove it - it may
be a source of hardly to detect races anyway (if udev rule detects
the device is not suspended and then the pvscan instance sees the
dev as suspended, we may end up not reacting to the event properly).
lvm1 and pool format do not support bootloader areas and we need to
remove any existing associated bootloader areas when we read lvm1 and
pool labels.
This has its importance if we're converting from one format to another
and we're reusing lvmcache in long-running commands (e.g. clvmd or lvm
shell) and we need to make lvmcache consistent and valid for current format.
Non-dm devices have ID_PART_TABLE_TYPE variable exported in
udev db from blkid scan for *both* whole devices and partitions.
We used ID_PART_ENTRY_DISK in addition to decide whether this
is the whole device or partition and then we filtered out only
whole devices where the partition table really is.
However, ID_PART_ENTRY_DISK was added in blkid 2.20 so we need
to use a different set of variables to decide on whole devices
and partitions on systems where older blkid is still used.
Now, we use ID_PART_TABLE_TYPE to detect that there's something
related to partitioning with this device and we use DEVTYPE variable
instead to decide between whole device (DEVTYPE="disk") and partition
(DEVTYPE="partition").
For dm devices it's simpler, we have ID_PART_TABLE_TYPE variable\
set in udev db for whole devices. It's not set for partitions,
hence we don't need more variable in addition to make the decision
on whole device vs. partition (dm devices do not have regular
partitions, hence DEVTYPE can't be used anyway, it's always set
to "disk" for whole disks and partitions).
Add "size" and "size_seqno" to struct device to cache device's size
and also to control its lifetime - the cached value is valid as long
as the global _dev_size_seqno is equal to the device's size_seqno,
otherwise we need to get the size again and cache the new value.
This patch also adds new dev_size_seqno_inc() fn for the appropriate
parts of the code to increment current global value of _dev_size_seqno
and hence to cause all currently cached values for device sizes to
be invalidated.
The device size is now cached because we're planning to reuse this
information for further checks and we want to avoid checking it more
than necessary to save resources.
The extent size must fits all blocks in 4294967295 sectors
(in 512b units) this is 1/2 KiB less then 2TiB.
So while previous statement 'suggested' 2TiB is still acceptable value,
make it clear it's not.
As now we support any multiples of 128KB as extent size -
values like 2047G will still 'flow-in' otherwise the largest power-of-2
supported value is 1TiB.
With 1TiB user needs 8388608 extents for 8EiB device.
(FYI such device is already unusable with todays glibc-2.22.90-27)
4GiB extent size is currently the smallest extent size which allows
a user to create 8EiB devices (with 2GiB it's less then 8EiB).
TODO: lvm2 may possibly print amount of 'lost/unused space' on a PV,
since using such ridiculously sized extent size may result in huge
space being left unaccessible.
There are two basic groups of fields for LV segment device reporting:
- related to LV segment's devices: devices and seg_pe_ranges
- related to LV segment's metadata devices: metadata_devices and seg_metadata_le_ranges
The devices and metadata_devices report devices in this format:
"device_name(extent_start)"
The seg_pe_ranges and seg_metadata_le_ranges report devices in
this format:
"device_name:extent_start-extent_end"
This patch reverts partly what commit 7f74a99502
(v 2.02.140) introduced in this area - it added [] for
hidden devices to mark them for all four fields mentioned above.
We won't be marking hidden devices in devices and metadata_devices
fields.
The seg_metadata_le_ranges field will have hidden devices marked -
it's new enough that we don't need to care about compatibility much
yet.
The seg_pe_ranges is old enough that we shouldn't be changing this
one - so we're reverting to not marking hidden devices here.
Instead, there's going to be a new field "seg_le_ranges" which
is going to replace the seg_pe_ranges and it will mark hidden devices -
this is going to be introduced in a patch later.
So in the end we'll end up with:
(LV segment's devices)
devices field with "device_name(extent_start)" format, not marking hidden devices
seg_pe_ranges field with "device_name:extent_start-extent_end" format, not marking hidden devices (deprecated, new seg_le_ranges should be used instead for standardized format)
seg_le_ranges field with "device_name:extent_start-extent_end" format, marking hidden devices
(LV segment's metadata devices)
metadata_devices field with "device_name:extent_start-extent_end" format, not marking hidden devices
seg_metadata_le_ranges field with "device_name:extent_start-extent_end" format, marking hidden devices
Also, both seg_le_ranges and seg_metadata_le_ranges will honour the
report/list_item_separator setting which can be used to configure
the delimiter used for list items.
So, to sum it up, we will recommend using the new seg_le_ranges and
seg_metadata_le_ranges fields because they display devices with
standard extent range format, they can mark hidden devices and they
honour the report/list_item_separator setting.
We'll be keeping devices,seg_pe_ranges and metadata_devices fields
for compatibility.
The associated devices,metadata_devices,seg_pe_ranges and
seg_metadata_le_ranges are reported as genuine string lists now.
This allows for using the items separately in -S|--select
(so searching for subsets etc.) and also it allows for
configuring the separator using report/list_item_separator
which may be useful in scripts (however, we'll enable this
only for seg_le_metadata_ranges and not for devices,seg_pe_ranges
and seg_metadata_devices for compatibility reasons - see following
patch).
When reporting on LVs, take the end of the range from the size of the
underlying (hidden) LV rather than the logical size of the current
segment (that PVs use).
Existing cache_settings field displays the settings which are
saved in metadata. Add new kernel_cache_settings fields to display
the settings which are currently used by kernel, including fields
for which default values are used.
This way users have complete view of the set of cache settings
supported (and which they can set) and their values which are used
at the moment by kernel.
For example:
$ lvs -o name,cache_policy,cache_settings,kernel_cache_settings vg
LV Cache Policy Cache Settings KCache Settings
cached1 mq migration_threshold=1024,write_promote_adjustment=2 migration_threshold=1024,random_threshold=4,sequential_threshold=512,discard_promote_adjustment=1,read_promote_adjustment=4,write_promote_adjustment=2
cached2 smq migration_threshold=1024 migration_threshold=1024
cached3 smq migration_threshold=2048
Fix lvm2app to return either 0 or 1 for lvm_vg_is_{clustered,exported},
including internal functions pvseg_is_allocated and vg_is_resizeable
which are not yet exposed in lvm2app but make them consistent with the
rest.
This reverts e28e22b9e1
The problem that that commit was fixing (pytest failure)
no longer appears with the current code, so the commit is
not needed.
That commit is a problem for pvchange, because it prevents
lvmcache from retaining VG metadata even while the global
lock is held. pvchange holds the global lock to ensure
that VG metadata is kept in lvmcache throughout processing.
If the cache is not kept, a PV with zero MDAs will appear
first in its actual VG and then appear again in the orphan VG.
It wrongly appears a second time in the orphan VG only if
the actual VG is dropped from lvmcache.
Thin pool discard mode set in metadata can be different from the one
actually used if any device underneath does not support that mode. Add
kernel_discard report field to make it possible to see this difference.
Internal _alloc_init() is only called from allocate_extents(),
which already does prevent usage of virtual segments.
So mark as internal error early and do not process it any further.
Add new test for lv_is_snapshot().
Also move few other bitchecks into same place as remaining bit tests.
TODO: drop lv_is_merging_origin() and keep using lv_is_merging().

Use common _lvname_disp to report lv_parent. The _lvname_disp
takes care of properly marking LVs which are not visible - such
LVs are always enclosed in brackets when reported within any
other field.
For example, thin pool over RAID.

Do not mix dm_report_field_set_value and _field_set_value and
use single function call throughout for clarity. The same applies
for dm_report_field_string and _string_disp.
Fix regression caused by commit c2d4330f27
which removed the dm_pool_strdup for the cache policy name in
_cache_policy_disp report function.
This regression was hit with buffered reporting only (which is
used by default). The reason is that for buffered reporting, we're
iterating over LVs in VG (process_each_lv) while gathering
all the information that is needed for the report. In this case,
the LV's cache policy name has not been duped, but only the pointer
to the original VG buffer was stored. When the LV iteration finished,
the VG buffer was freed and any report to output called later
(dm_report_output call) accessed already freed VG data.
This didn't appear if unbuffered reporting was used (--unbuffered)
because in this case, the data were reported to output as
soon as they were processed, hence it was reported to output
before the VG data was freed.
Have commands send lvmlockd the update message
in vg_write instead of vg_commit, so that it's
not done while LVs are suspended. If the vg_write
is not committed, and the seqno sent to lvmlockd
is not used, then lvmlockd can detect this when
the next update uses the same seqno.
Use process_each_vg() to lock and read the old VG,
and then call the main vgrename code.
When real VG names are used (not a UUID in place of the
old name), the command still pre-locks the new name
(when strcmp wants it locked first), before calling
process_each_vg on the old name.
In the case where the old name is replaced with a UUID,
process_each_vg now translates that UUID into the real
VG name, which it locks and reads. In this case, we
cannot do pre-locking to maintain lock ordering because
the old name is unknown. So, in this case the strcmp
based lock ordering is suppressed and the old name is
always locked first. This opens a remote chance for
lock ordering conflict between racing vgrenames between
two names where one or both commands use the UUID.
Before commit c1f246fedf,
_get_all_devices() did a full device scan before
get_vgnameids() was called. The full scan in
_get_all_devices() is from calling dev_iter_create(f, 1).
The '1' arg forces a full scan.
By doing a full scan in _get_all_devices(), new devices
were added to dev-cache before get_vgnameids() began
scanning labels. So, labels would be read from new devices.
(e.g. by the first 'pvs' command after the new device appeared.)
After that commit, _get_all_devices() was called
after get_vgnameids() was finished scanning labels.
So, new devices would be missed while scanning labels.
When _get_all_devices() saw the new devices (after
labels were scanned), those devices were added to
the .cache file. This meant that the second 'pvs'
command would see the devices because they would be
in .cache.
Now, the full device scan is factored out of
_get_all_devices() and called by itself at the
start of the command so that new devices will
be known before get_vgnameids() scans labels.
Since we mark cache-pool as 'hidden/private' while it is in-use,
we may still allow user to change it's name.
It should not cause any harm and user may prefer better naming
for a cache-pool in use.
It's getting a bit more complex here.
Basic idea behind is - check_current_backup() should not
log error when a user is using a read-only filesystem,
so e.g. vgscan will not report any error when it tries
to take missing backup.
We still have cases when error could be reported though,
e.g. the backup this would be a symbolic link, but these
are rather misconfiguration and unexpected case.
We have to modes of 'archive()' usage -
1. compulsory - fail stops command and user may try '-An' option
to do a command.
2. non-compulsory - some fails in archiving are ignorable (i.e.
read-only filesystem where archive dir is located).
Those 2 cases needs to be properly handle - i.e. the non-compulsory
logging should not be tampering error logging message production.
So more work here is needed
Pass full buffer size to printf() function - no reason to make
buffer 1 char smaller.
Also rename locn buffer to message buffer directly since it's
not used for anything else.
TODO: we may use same buffer also for 'buf[]' since there is
no collision - so may safe 1K on stack usage.
When two different VGs with the same name exist,
they are both stored in lvmcache using the vginfo->next
list. Previously, the code would print warnings (sometimes)
when adding VGs to this list. Now the duplicate VG names
are handled by higher level code, so this list no longer
needs to print warnings about duplicate VG names being found.
After recent changes to process_each, vg_read() is usually
given both the vgname and vgid for the intended VG.
However, in some cases vg_read() is given a vgid with
no vgname, or is given a vgname with no vgid.
When given a vgid with no vgname, vg_read() uses lvmcache
to look up the vgname using the vgid. If the vgname is
not found, vg_read() fails.
When given a vgname with no vgid, vg_read() should also
use lvmcache to look up the vgid using the vgname.
If the vgid is not found, vg_read() fails.
If the lvmcache lookup finds multiple vgids for the
vgname, then the lookup fails, causing vg_read() to fail
because the intended VG is uncertain.
Usually, both vgname and vgid for the intended VG are passed
to vg_read(), which means the lvmcache translations
between vgname and vgid are not done.
When not using lvmetad, this uses the system_id field in
the cached vginfo structs that are populated during a scan.
When using lvmetad, this requests the VG from lvmetad, and
checks the system_id field in the returned metadata.
When the command already knows both the vgid and vgname,
it should send both to lvmetad for a more exact request,
and it can save lvmetad the work of a name lookup.
Remove long outstand unused code lines, which were already
been obsoleted by other code.
Statuses and snapshot tree creation is already handled differently.
Also drop some 'extra' log_error() and use only stack;
since error has already been reported.
Since we do not use dev_manager in a way we would have destroyed VG
content while in-use - we could safely keep just pointer.
So dropping strdup.
Also it seems we actually no longer use vg_name for anything
so it may possibly go away completely unless it would be useful
for debugging...
Just for convenience to display all new configuration settings
introduced since given version (before, there was only --atversion
to display settings introduced in concrete version).
For example:
$ lvmconfig --type new --sinceversion 2.2.120
allocation {
# cache_mode="writethrough"
# cache_settings {
# }
