pvid and vgid are sometimes a null-terminated string, and
other times a 'struct id', and the two types were often
cast between each other. When a struct id was cast to a char
pointer, the resulting string would not necessarily be null
terminated. Casting a null-terminated string id to a
struct id is fine, but is still avoided when possible.
A struct id is: int8_t uuid[ID_LEN]
A string id is: char pvid[ID_LEN + 1]
A convention is introduced to help distinguish them:
- variables and struct fields named "pvid" or "vgid"
should be null-terminated strings.
- variables and struct fields named "pv_id" or "vg_id"
should be struct id's.
- examples:
char pvid[ID_LEN + 1];
char vgid[ID_LEN + 1];
struct id pv_id;
struct id vg_id;
Function names also attempt to follow this convention.
Avoid casting between the two types as much as possible,
with limited exceptions when known to be safe and clearly
commented.
Avoid using variations of strcpy and strcmp, and instead
use memcpy/memcmp with ID_LEN (with similar limited
exceptions possible.)
Use different 'hint' size for dm_hash_create() call - so
when debug info about hash is printed we can recognize which
hash was in use.
This patch doesn't change actual used size since that is always
rounded to be power of 2 and >=16 - so as such is only a
help to developer.
We could eventually use 'name' arg, but since this would have changed
API and this patchset will be routed to libdm & stable - we will
just use this small trick.
The LVM devices file lists devices that lvm can use. The default
file is /etc/lvm/devices/system.devices, and the lvmdevices(8)
command is used to add or remove device entries. If the file
does not exist, or if lvm.conf includes use_devicesfile=0, then
lvm will not use a devices file. When the devices file is in use,
the regex filter is not used, and the filter settings in lvm.conf
or on the command line are ignored.
LVM records devices in the devices file using hardware-specific
IDs, such as the WWID, and attempts to use subsystem-specific
IDs for virtual device types. These device IDs are also written
in the VG metadata. When no hardware or virtual ID is available,
lvm falls back using the unstable device name as the device ID.
When devnames are used, lvm performs extra scanning to find
devices if their devname changes, e.g. after reboot.
When proper device IDs are used, an lvm command will not look
at devices outside the devices file, but when devnames are used
as a fallback, lvm will scan devices outside the devices file
to locate PVs on renamed devices. A config setting
search_for_devnames can be used to control the scanning for
renamed devname entries.
Related to the devices file, the new command option
--devices <devnames> allows a list of devices to be specified for
the command to use, overriding the devices file. The listed
devices act as a sort of devices file in terms of limiting which
devices lvm will see and use. Devices that are not listed will
appear to be missing to the lvm command.
Multiple devices files can be kept in /etc/lvm/devices, which
allows lvm to be used with different sets of devices, e.g.
system devices do not need to be exposed to a specific application,
and the application can use lvm on its own set of devices that are
not exposed to the system. The option --devicesfile <filename> is
used to select the devices file to use with the command. Without
the option set, the default system devices file is used.
Setting --devicesfile "" causes lvm to not use a devices file.
An existing, empty devices file means lvm will see no devices.
The new command vgimportdevices adds PVs from a VG to the devices
file and updates the VG metadata to include the device IDs.
vgimportdevices -a will import all VGs into the system devices file.
LVM commands run by dmeventd not use a devices file by default,
and will look at all devices on the system. A devices file can
be created for dmeventd (/etc/lvm/devices/dmeventd.devices) If
this file exists, lvm commands run by dmeventd will use it.
Internal implementaion:
- device_ids_read - read the devices file
. add struct dev_use (du) to cmd->use_devices for each devices file entry
- dev_cache_scan - get /dev entries
. add struct device (dev) to dev_cache for each device on the system
- device_ids_match - match devices file entries to /dev entries
. match each du on cmd->use_devices to a dev in dev_cache, using device ID
. on match, set du->dev, dev->id, dev->flags MATCHED_USE_ID
- label_scan - read lvm headers and metadata from devices
. filters are applied, those that do not need data from the device
. filter-deviceid skips devs without MATCHED_USE_ID, i.e.
skips /dev entries that are not listed in the devices file
. read lvm label from dev
. filters are applied, those that use data from the device
. read lvm metadata from dev
. add info/vginfo structs for PVs/VGs (info is "lvmcache")
- device_ids_find_renamed_devs - handle devices with unstable devname ID
where devname changed
. this step only needed when devs do not have proper device IDs,
and their dev names change, e.g. after reboot sdb becomes sdc.
. detect incorrect match because PVID in the devices file entry
does not match the PVID found when the device was read above
. undo incorrect match between du and dev above
. search system devices for new location of PVID
. update devices file with new devnames for PVIDs on renamed devices
. label_scan the renamed devs
- continue with command processing
If an md component is not excluded by other means and
vg_read is used to read metadata from it, then this new
check compares the device size with the PV size, and runs
a full md check on the device if the sizes don't match.
Native disk scanning is now both reduced and
async/parallel, which makes it comparable in
performance (and often faster) when compared
to lvm using lvmetad.
Autoactivation now uses local temp files to record
online PVs, and no longer requires lvmetad.
There should be no apparent command-level change
in behavior.
As we start refactoring the code to break dependencies (see doc/refactoring.txt),
I want us to use full paths in the includes (eg, #include "base/data-struct/list.h").
This makes it more obvious when we're breaking abstraction boundaries, eg, including a file in
metadata/ from base/
There are likely more bits of code that can be removed,
e.g. lvm1/pool-specific bits of code that were identified
using FMT flags.
The vgconvert command can likely be reduced further.
The lvm1-specific config settings should probably have
some other fields set for proper deprecation.
For reporting commands (pvs,vgs,lvs,pvdisplay,vgdisplay,lvdisplay)
we do not need to repeat the label scan of devices in vg_read if
they all had matching metadata in the initial label scan. The
data read by label scan can just be reused for the vg_read.
This cuts the amount of device i/o in half, from two reads of
each device to one. We have to be careful to avoid repairing
the VG if we've skipped rescanning. (The VG repair code is very
poor, and will be redone soon.)
To do label scanning, lvm code calls lvmcache_label_scan().
Change lvmcache_label_scan() to use the new label_scan()
based on bcache.
Also add lvmcache_label_rescan_vg() which calls the new
label_scan_devs() which does label scanning on only the
specified devices. This is for a subsequent commit and
is not yet used.
New label_scan function populates bcache for each device
on the system.
The two read paths are updated to get data from bcache.
The bcache is not yet used for writing. bcache blocks
for a device are invalidated when the device is written.
Switch METADATA_FORMAT flag usage to be stored via segtype
instead of 'status' flag which appeared to cause major
incompatibility troubles.
For backward compatiblity segtype flags are still accepted also
via 'status' bits which were used from version 2.02.169 so metadata
saved by this newer lvm2 version should still work nicely, although
new save version will no longer work on this older lvm2 version.
In order to support striped raid5/6/10 LV reshaping (change
of LV type, stripesize or number of legs), this patch
introduces infrastructure prerequisites to be used
by raid_manip.c extensions in followup patches.
This base is needed for allocation of out-of-place
reshape space required by the MD raid personalities to
avoid writing over data in-place when reading off the
current RAID layout or number of legs and writing out
the new layout or to a different number of legs
(i.e. restripe)
Changes:
- add members reshape_len to 'struct lv_segment' to store
out-of-place reshape length per component rimage
- add member data_copies to struct lv_segment
to support more than 2 raid10 data copies
- make alloc_lv_segment() aware of both reshape_len and data_copies
- adjust all alloc_lv_segment() callers to the new API
- add functions to retrieve the current data offset (needed for
out-of-place reshaping space allocation) and the devices count
from the kernel
- make libdm deptree code aware of reshape_len
- add LV flags for disk add/remove reshaping
- support import/export of the new 'struct lv_segment' members
- enhance lv_extend/_lv_reduce to cope with reshape_len
- add seg_is_*/segtype_is_* macros related to reshaping
- add target version check for reshaping
- grow rebuilds/writemostly bitmaps to 246 bit to support kernel maximal
- enhance libdm deptree code to support data_offset (out-of-place reshaping)
and delta_disk (legs add/remove reshaping) target arguments

The lvmetad connection is created within the
init_connections() path during command startup,
rather than via the old lvmetad_active() check.
The old lvmetad_active() checks are replaced
with lvmetad_used() which is a simple check that
tests if the command is using/connected to lvmetad.
The old lvmetad_set_active(cmd, 0) calls, which
stopped the command from using lvmetad (to revert to
disk scanning), are replaced with lvmetad_make_unused(cmd).
vgsummary information contains provisional VG information
that is obtained without holding the VG lock. This info
can be used to lock the VG, and then read it with vg_read().
After the VG is read properly, the vgsummary info should
be verified.
Add the VG lock_type to the vgsummary. It needs to be
known before the VG can be locked and read.
Refactor the recent metadata-reading optimisation patches.
Remove the recently-added cache fields from struct labeller
and struct format_instance.
Instead, introduce struct lvmcache_vgsummary to wrap the VG information
that lvmcache holds and add the metadata size and checksum to it.
Allow this VG summary information to be looked up by metadata size +
checksum. Adjust the debug log messages to make it clear when this
shortcut has been successful.
(This changes the optimisation slightly, and might be extendable
further.)
Add struct cached_vg_fmtdata to format-specific vg_read calls to
preserve state alongside the VG across separate calls and indicate
if the details supplied match, avoiding the need to read and
process the VG metadata again.
Detect an lvm1 system id by looking at the WRITE_LOCKED flag.
Don't copy this lvm1 system id into vg->system_id so that the
restrictions associated with the new system id are not applied
to the old VG with the inherited lvm1 system id.
Previous versions of lvm will not obey the restrictions
imposed by the new system_id, and would allow such a VG
to be written. So, a VG with a new system_id is further
changed to force previous lvm versions to treat it as
read-only. This is done by removing the WRITE flag from
the metadata status line of these VGs, and putting a new
WRITE_LOCKED flag in the flags line of the metadata.
Versions of lvm that recognize WRITE_LOCKED, also obey the
new system_id. For these lvm versions, WRITE_LOCKED is
identical to WRITE, and the rules associated with matching
system_id's are imposed.
A new VG lock_type field is also added that causes the same
WRITE/WRITE_LOCKED transformation when set. A previous
version of lvm will also see a VG with lock_type as read-only.
Versions of lvm that recognize WRITE_LOCKED, must also obey
the lock_type setting. Until the lock_type feature is added,
lvm will fail to read any VG with lock_type set and report an
error about an unsupported lock_type. Once the lock_type
feature is added, lvm will allow VGs with lock_type to be
used according to the rules imposed by the lock_type.
When both system_id and lock_type settings are removed, a VG
is written with the old WRITE status flag, and without the
new WRITE_LOCKED flag. This allows old versions of lvm to
use the VG as before.
