The device_hint name in the metadata was meant to prevent
autoactivation from md components, but the name checks were
more general and would catch unnecessary cases.
This fixes an issue related to the optimization in
"pvscan: only add device args to dev cache"
If the devices file is not used, and the lvm.conf filter
accepts devices via symlink names, then those devices won't
be accepted by pvscan for autoactivation. To resolve this,
recognize when the filter contains symlinks and disable the
optimization. When the optimization is disabled, a full
dev_cache_scan is performed, and symlinks are associated
with the device names passed to pvscan. filter-regex
will accept a device if symlinks to that device are accepted.
Improve handling of md components that get through the
filter, like the previous improvement for multipath.
If md components get through the filter and trigger
duplicate PV code, then eliminate any devs entirely
that are not an md device.
If multipath component devices get through the filter and
cause lvm to see duplicate PVs, then check the wwid of the
devs and drop the component devices as if they had been
filtered. If a dm mpath device was found among the duplicates
then use that as the PV, otherwise do not use any of the
components as the PV.
"duplicate PVs" associated with multipath configs will no
longer stop commands from working.
Remove the searched_devnames file in a couple more places:
. When hints need refreshing it's possible that a missing
devices file entry could be found by searching devices
again.
. When a devices file entry devname is first found to be
incorrect, a new search for missing entries may be
useful.
When devnames are used as device ids and devnames change,
then new devices need to be located for the PVs. If the old
devname is now used by a filtered device, this was preventing
the code from searching for the new device, so the PV was
reported as missing.
If the optimized label scan fails (using online files),
then clear the device state prior to falling back to the
standard label_scan. This avoids printing output about
unexpected state.
Consistently create the pvs_lookup file for VGs with
more than one PV. Previously the file create would be
skipped if all the PVs happened to already be online.
That led to unpredicatable results in an uncommon case
(when the last PV to come online is the only PV with
metadata.)
Copy another optimization from pvscan -aay to vgchange -aay.
When using the optimized label scan for only one VG, acquire the
VG lock prior to the scan. This allows vg_read to then skip the
repeated label scan that normally happens after locking the vg.
Include the device name in the /run/lvm/pvs_online/pvid files.
Commands using the pvid file can use the devname to more quickly
find the correct device, vs finding the device using the
major:minor number. If the devname in the pvid file is missing
or incorrect, fall back to using the devno.
For completeness and consistency, adjust the behavior
for some variations of:
vgchange -aay --autoactivation event [vgname]
The current standard use is with a VG name arg, and the
command is only called when all pvs_online files exist.
This is the optimal case, in which only pvs_online devs
are read. This remains the same.
Clean up behaviors for some other unexpected uses of the
command:
. With no VG name arg, the command activates any VGs
that are complete according to pvs_online. If no
pvs_online files exist, it does nothing.
. If a VG name is used but no PVs online files exist for
the VG, or the PVs online files are incomplete, then
consider there could be a problem with the pvs_online
files, and fall back to a full label scan prior to
attempting the activation.
Part of the optimization to avoid a full dev_cache_scan requires
translating major:minor numbers to a device name. If this devno
translation fails, then fall back to doing a full dev_cache_scan
which is slower but certain to provide the info. This preserves
the most important part of the label scanning optimization in the
vgchange aay (avoiding dev_cache_scan is a relatively small part
of the optimized activation compared to label scanning.)
Port another optimization from pvscan -aay to vgchange -aay:
"pvscan: only add device args to dev cache"
This optimization avoids doing a full dev_cache_scan, and
instead populates dev-cache with only the devices in the
VG being activated.
This involves shifting the use of pvs_online files from
the hints interface up to the higher level label_scan
interface. This specialized label_scan is structured
around creating a list of devices from the pvs_online
files. Previously, a list of all devices was created
first, and then reduced based on the pvs_online files.
The initial step of listing all devices was slow when
thousands of devices are present on the system.
This optimization extends the previous optimization that
used pvs_online files to limit the devices that were
actually scanned (i.e. reading to identify the device):
"vgchange -aay: optimize device scan using pvs_online files"
Port the old pvscan -aay scanning optimization to vgchange -aay.
The optimization uses pvs_online files created by pvscan --cache
to derive a list of devices to use when activating a VG. This
allows autoactivation of a VG to avoid scanning all devices, and
only scan the devices used by the VG itself. The optimization is
applied internally using the device hints interface.
The new option "--autoactivation event" is given to pvscan and
vgchange commands that are called by event activation. This
informs the command that it is being used for event activation,
so that it can apply checks and optimizations that are specific
to event activation. Those include:
- skipping the command if lvm.conf event_activation=0
- checking that a VG is complete before activating it
- using pvs_online files to limit device scanning
The information in /run/lvm/pvs_online/<pvid> files can
be used to build a list of devices for a given VG.
The pvscan -aay command has long used this information to
activate a VG while scanning only devices in that VG, which
is an important optimization for autoactivation.
This patch implements the same thing through the existing
device hints interface, so that the optimization can be
applied elsewhere. A future patch will take advantage of
this optimization in vgchange -aay, which is now used in
place of pvscan -aay for event activation.
When a device id is set for a device, using an idtype other
than devname, it means that sysfs has been used with the device
to match the device id. So, checking for a sysfs entry for the
device in filter-sysfs is redundant. For any other cases not
covered by this (e.g. devname ids), have filter-sysfs simply
stat /sys/dev/block/major:minor to test if the device exists
in sysfs.
The extensive processing done by filter-sysfs init is removed.
It was taking an immense amount of time with many devices, e.g.
. 1024 PVs in 520 VGs
. 520 concurrent vgchange -ay <vgname> commands
. vgchange scans only PVs in the named VG (based on pvs_online
files from a pending patch)
A large number of the vgchange commands were taking over 1 min,
and nearly half of that time was used by filter-sysfs init.
With this patch, the vgchange commands take about half the time.
Help bootstrapping existing shared vgs into the devices file.
Reading the vg in vgimportdevices would require locking to be
started, but vgchange lockstart won't see the vg if it's not
in the devices file. The lvmlockd locks are not protecting
vg modifications so skipping them here won't be a problem.
As we are not using 'enable-compat' for anything, remove this section.
Also remove duplicated check for blkid.
Move setting of some AC_ARG_ENABLE defaults into the macro so it's always
defined.
