Thin plugin started to use configuble setting to allow to configure
usage of external scripts - however to read this value it needed to
execute internal command as dmeventd itself has no access to lvm.conf
and the API for dmeventd plugin has been kept stable.
The call of command itself was not normally 'a big issue' until users
started to use higher number of monitored LVs and execution of command
got stuck because other monitored resource already started to execute
some other lvm2 command and become blocked waiting on VG lock.
This scenario revealed necesity to somehow avoid calling lvm2 command
during resource registration - but this requires bigger changes - so
meanwhile this patch tries to minimize the possibility to hit this race
by obtaining any configurable setting just once - such patch is small
and covers majority of problem - yet better solution needs to be
introduced likely with bigger rework of dmeventd.
TODO: avoid blocking registration of resource with execution of lvm2
commands since those can get stuck waiting on mutexes.
Allow "lvconvert --type linear RaidLV" on a raid4 LV
providing convenient interim steps to convert to linear.
Add respective new test
lvconvert-raid-takeover-raid4_to_linear.sh
and
lvconvert-raid-takeover-linear_to_raid4.sh
for linear to raid4 once on it.
When converting from striped/raid0/raid0_meta
to raid6 with > 2 stripes, allow possible
direct conversion (to raid6_n_6).
In case of 2 stripes, first convert to raid5_n to restripe
to at least 3 data stripes (the raid6 minimum in lvm2) in
a second conversion before finally converting to raid6_n_6.
As before, raid6_n_6 then can be converted
to any other raid6 layout.
Enhance lvconvert-raid-takeover.sh to test the
2 stripes conversions to raid6.

Add "lvm2-activation-generator: " prefix for all kmsg messages written by
lvm2-activation-generator so we can identify the message in global system log.
We need to have Ceph RBD devices mapped first before use in a stack

On shutdown, we need to stop blk-availability first before we stop the

This is the number of concurrent async io requests that
the scan layer will submit to the bcache layer. There
will be an open fd for each of these, so it is best to
keep this well below the default limit for max open files
(1024), otherwise lvm may get EMFILE from open(2) when
there are around 1024 devices to scan on the system.
"lvconvert --type linear RaidLV" on striped and raid4/5/6/10

With improved mirror activation code --splitmirror issue poppedup
since there was missing proper preload code and deactivation
for splitted mirror leg.
Amound of linked libraries grows.
Most of them we don't need to lock in, since we are not using
them in locked section, so skip locking them in memory.
When pvmoving LV - the target for LV is a mirror so the validation
that checked the type is matching was incorrect.
While we need a more generic enhancment of LVS output for pvmoved LVs,
for now at least stop showing internal errors and 'X' symbols in attrs.
In case "lvconvert -mN RaidLV" was used on a degraded
raid1 LV, success was returned instead of an error.
Provide message to inform about the need to repair first
before changing number of mirrors and exit with error.
Add new lvconvert-m-raid1-degraded.sh test.

When adjusting region size for clustered VG it always needs to fit
2 full bitset into 1MB due to old limits of CPG.
This is relatively big amount of bits, but we have still limitation
for region size to fit into 32bits (0x8000000).
So for too big mirrors this operation needs to fail - so whenever
function returns now 0, it means we can't find matching region_size.
Since return 0 is now 'error' we need to also pass proper region_size
when creating pvmove mirror.
Since extent_size is no longer power_of_2 this max region size
evalution was rather producing random bitsize as a combination
of lowest bit from number of extents and extent size itself.
Correct calculation to use whole LV size and pick biggest
possible power of 2 value smaller then UINT32_MAX.
Drop mirrored mirror log limitation that applies only in very limited
use-case and actually mirrored mirror log is deprecated anyway.
So 'disk' mirror log is selecting the correct minimal size, and
bigger size is only enforced with real mirrored mirror log.
Also for mirrored mirror log we let use 'smalled' region size if needed
so if user uses 1G region size, we still keep small mirror log
with much smaller region size in this case when needed.
Also mirror log extent calculation is now properly detecting error
with too big mirrors where previosly trimmed uint32_t was applies
unintentionally.
Whenever we make visible LV out of previously invisible one,
reload it's table - the is mandator for proper udev rule
processing as well as ensure content of dm table is correct.
TODO: this new generic rule probably make extra raid rules unnecessary.
Fixing regresion on argument acceptance where any lv can be passed
with paramaterless lvconvert which is meant to figure out needed
operation - i.e. wait for mirror synchronization.
User has no other 'effective' method to wait for mirror getting in-sync.
The current logic that avoids setting SYSTEMD_ALIAS and SYSTEMD_WANTS
on "change" events is flawed in the default "systemd background job"
configuration. For systemd, it's important that device properties don't
change spuriously.
If an "add" event starts lvm2-pvscan@.service for a device, and a
"change" event follows, removing SYSTEMD_ALIAS and SYSTEMD_WANTS from the
udev db, information about unit dependencies between the device and the
pvscan service can be lost in systemd, in particular if the daemon
configuration is reloaded.
Steps to reproduce problem:
- create a device with an LVM PV
- remove device
- add device (generates "add" and "change" uevents for the device)
(at this point SYSTEMD_ALIAS and SYSTEMD_WANTS are clear in udev db)
- systemctl daemon-reload
(systemd reloads udev db)
- vgchange -a n
- remove device
=> the lvm2-pvscan@.service for the device is still active although the
device is gone.
- add device again
=> the PV is not detected, because systemd sees the lvm2-pvscan@.service
as active and thus doesn't restart it.
The original purpose of this logic was to avoid volumes being scanned
over and over again. With systemd background jobs, that isn't necessary,
because systemd will not restart the job as long as it's active.

Make the distinction between the cases with and without systemd
background jobs explicit in 69-dm-lvm-metad.rules rather than
substituting the rule from the Makefile. At this stage,
this improves only readibility, at the cost of one GOTO statement.
This patch introduces no functional change to the udev rules.

Test that no (Sub)LV remnants persist if the volume group is
not listed in configuration variable activation/volume_list,
hence not activatable thus causing initialization of rmeta
SubLVs to fail.

Only policy 'smq' is meant to be used with format version 2.
Code used to let pass 'mq' policy also with format 2. But 'mq'
is obsoloted wth smq and kernel currently matches it. But this
is incompatible with older original mq logic - so disallow creation
of this rather useless combination.
If the tools for checking thin_pool or cache metadata are missing,
issue rather just a WARNING, but let the operation of activation
continue.
This has the advantage, the if user is missing those tools,
but he already started to use thinpool or cacheing, he can
access these volumes with a WARNING.
Also if the user is using too old tools i.e. for CacheV2 format
dmpd tool 0.7 is required - provide informative WARNING and
skip failure from older tool version which can't understand
new format V2.
In case a newly created RaidLV is blacklisted using config
\"activation { volume list = [ ... ] }\" (i.e. its SubLVs stay inactive),
the metadata SubLVs can't get wiped thus failing the creation.
As a result, the RaidLV together with its SubLVs
is left behind in an inconsistent state.
Fix by removing the RaidLV and provide a hint about volume_list reasoning.
Resolves: rhbz1161347
Introduce prioritized_section() as a closer match to previous logic
of critical_section() that has been held over longer sequence of
ioctl commands - essentially it's matching operation on a single
cookie.
While 'critical_section()' now corresponds to locked memory - we hold
this memory only between suspend/resume thus notion of 'cookie' was
lost.
This patch restores some logic unintentionaly lost with dropping
memory locking for just activation/deactivation calls.
With these read errors it's useful to know the reason.
Also avoid to log error just once so we know exactly
how many times we did failing read.
On the other hand reduce repeated log_error() on code 'backtrace'
path and change severity of message to just log_debug() so the
actual read error is printed once for one read.
Just like lvm2 has internal devices like _tdata which is using UUID with
suffix, there is similar private type of device for crypto device where
they are using CRYPT-TEMP uuid prefix.
Also ignore stratis.
Some kernel version suffer from bad state transition where a device
steps into 'frozen' mode. Any application that tries to read such
raid gets unfortunatelly bloked.
As some sort of protection try to skip such raid device from being
scanned to minimize chances to block lvm2 command on such scan.
When such device is found, warning gets printed.
RaidLVs on read_only_volume_list have their SubLVs
activated readonly thus disabling metadata updates
or image resynchronization/recovery. Bug also causes
automatic repairs to fail.
Fix by always activating the RAID SubLVs readwrite.
Resolves: rhbz1208269
When snapshot is created in read-only mode with 'lvcreate -s -pr...',
lvm2 still needs to be able to write to layered -cow volume
to store metadata and exceptions blocks.
TODO: in some case we might be able to do full tree with read-only
volume but this probably needs futher validation:
1. checking snapshot header already exist
2. origin & snapshot are both in read-only mode.
Occasionaly users may need to peek into 'component devices.
Normally lvm2 does not let users activation component.
This patch adds special mode where user can activate
component LV in a 'read-only' mode i.e.:
lvchange -ay vg/pool_tdata
All devices can be deactivated with:
lvchange -an vg | vgchange -an....
Introduce:
lv_is_component() check is LV is actually a component device.
lv_component_is_active() checking if any component device is active.
lv_holder_is_active() is any component holding device is active.
Instead of checking with existing size of external origin LV,
use correctly the new 'wanted' size of this LV whether it fits
the limitiation requirements for older thin-pool target.
Otherwise code started to the the resize, updates metadata and
just fails during 'resize' in case the LV was active. For
inactive LV operation could have actually passed.
Fix missing 'externalLV' traversing for thins with external origins.
Replace extra for_each_sub_lv_except_pools() with better
internal logic allowing selectively to cut of processed subLV tree.
Extend error code for function 'fn()' when it returns -1 it will
stop futher tree scan for given LV.
Also a bit simplify code to have only one place that
is calling 'fn()' and use level counter to know
depth of traversing.
Update renaming travering to skip trees for pools
and external origins.
While 'file-locking' code always dropped cached VG before
lock was taken - other locking types actually missed this.
So while the cache dropping has been implement for i.e. clvmd,
actually running command in cluster keept using cache even
when the lock has been i.e. dropped and taken again.
This rather 'hard-to-hit' error was noticable in some
tests running in cluster where content of PV has been
changed (metadata-balance.sh)
Fix the code by moving cache dropping directly lock_vol() function.
TODO: it's kind of strange we should ever need drop_cached_metadata()
used in several places - this all should happen automatically
this some futher thinking here is likely needed.
Avoid using same return code for reporting 2 different things
and stricly report error code by return value and add new
parameter for reporting monitoring status.
This makes easier to recognize which error we got from dm_event
and continue only with ENOENT.
Check if the generated vg name still fits the buffer.
So too long strings are rejected.
Drop -1 from size passed to snprintf - as the \0 is already included.
With pthreaded daemons like 'dmeventd' using liblvm via plugin,
lvm2 actually should not 'play' with streams at all - as there
could be parallel outputs running.
As a current quick workaround just disable change for pthreaded
program (gettid() != getpid()).
TODO: it's possible the change of buffering actually doesn't serve us
any measurable benefit and could be dropped as whole later...

In fact pvmove does support 'clustered-core' target for clustered
pvmove of LVs activated on multiple nodes.
This patch restores support for activation of pvmove on all nodes
for LVs that are also activate on all nodes.
Add protectional internall error whenever we spot activation
of 'exclusive' only segments in 'non-exclusive' mode.
TODO: possibly the activation locking could be enhanced to handle
this fully behind the scene - as for now this works purely for
lvchange/vgchange activation.
Use properly exclusive activation when reactivating origin after
snapshot merge (since origin must have been previously also exlusively
activated).
Same applies when converting volumes to thin-pool or cache.
Previously used 'only' local activation incorrectly allowed local
activation of some targets (i.e. raid) - thus 'leaking' chance to
activate same device on another node - which can be a problem
for device types like raid.
If the data being requested is present in last_[extra_]devbuf,
return that directly instead of reading it from disk again.
Typical LVM2 access patterns request data within two adjacent 4k blocks
so we eliminate some read() system calls by always reading at least 8k.
If it obtains the data, it passes it into the supplied callback function
and returns 1. Otherwise the callback receives failed = 1.
Updated config_file_read_fd to use this and similarly return the data
via a callback fn of its own.
Rename dev_read() to dev_read_buf() - the function that reads data
into a supplied buffer.
Introduce a new dev_read() that allocates the buffer it returns and
switch the important users over to this. No caller may change the
returned data. (For now, callers are responsible for freeing it after
use, but later the device layer will take full ownership.)
dev_read_buf() should only be used for tiny buffers or unimportant code
(such as the old disk formats).
If there is sufficient space in the metadata area, align the next
metadata to a disk offset that is a multiple of 4096 bytes and
don't write it circularly. If it doesn't all fit at the end
of the metadata area, go back to the start and write it all there
contiguously.
If there is insufficient space to use the new stricter rules, revert to
the original behaviour, aligning on 512-byte boundaries wrapping around
the circular buffer as required.
Even after writing some metadata encountered problems, some commands
continue (rightly or wrongly) and attempt to make further changes.
Once an mda is marked MDA_FAILED, don't try to use it again.
This also applies when reverting, where one loop already skips
failed mdas but the other doesn't.
This fixes some device open_count warnings on relevant failure paths.
Use new ALIGN_ABSOLUTE macro when calculating the start location
of new metadata and adjust the end of buffer detection so that
there is no longer an imposed gap between old and new metadata.
lvmdbusd executable script must use python3 interpreter detected by
configure script, as site-packages directory used for library is only
used by that interpreter.
Introduce enum dev_io_reason to categorise block device I/O
in debug messages so it's obvious what it is for.
DEV_IO_SIGNATURES /* Scanning device signatures */
DEV_IO_LABEL /* LVM PV disk label */
DEV_IO_MDA_HEADER /* Text format metadata area header */
DEV_IO_MDA_CONTENT /* Text format metadata area content */
DEV_IO_FMT1 /* Original LVM1 metadata format */
DEV_IO_POOL /* Pool metadata format */
DEV_IO_LV /* Content written to an LV */
DEV_IO_LOG /* Logging messages */
When entering any critical section, lvm2 used to lock process memory
and raised task priority to avoid problem with page swapping and minimize
time of having non-resumed devices in table.
With this patch, memory locking which which is expensive is only used when
entering 'suspending' section as only in this section there is risk
lvm could be suspending a device which later can be needed for paging.
Raised priority is still kept for all section entrances as this is
low-cost operation and may accelerate table resumes - although the real
impact can be still considered later.
When pvmove is finished and metadata are updated, the code missed
to merge possible mergable segments - so add explicit merging
call after pvmoved volumes are unlocked.
This avoids weird results where i.e. lvs could have been reporting
non-matching segments as lvs upon metadata read is doing silent segment
merging while dm table left after pvmove was still preserving
non-merged segments.
When large size number (>2^31) is given on command line it could be
misdetected and in certain cases lead to wrongly casted number.
So make sure all cases always do set _MAX number in case the value would
not fit within the supported range instead of getting some random value
within the range.
In most cases this was not a problem to detect, but i.e. stripesize
parameter might have been fooled by certain large numbers.
Rewrite validation of stripes and stripe_size args into more readable
sequential code.
Extend reading of stripes & stripes_size args so it better knows
defaults for types like striped raid.
TODO: this should really be a value obtained for segtype structure and
all the weird conditions and modification of stripes and stripe_size
around lvm2 code should be dropped.
When pvmove is finished and does 'suspend/resume' on PVMOVE LV,
on resume path committed metadata are already showing 'standalone'
pvmove LV prepared just for removal.
However code should be able to 'resume' preloaded LV there were
participating in pvmove operation.
Previously this was all done in the 'tools' part of lvm2 code.
So the lvconvert upon pvmove finish had to explicitely call 'resume' on every such LV.
Now 'smarted' activation code is able to deduce and combine all information from
the active dm table and committed metadata so single call resolves
it all in one go.
Internally holders are detected by reading sysfs directory to capture
all needed UUID which are then looked in lvm2 metadata and all such
LVs are automatically collected into dmtree.
Only thin-pool with origin_only suspend is allowed to be not suspending anything.
In such case pairing resume will 'decrement' critical section counter.
Just like suspend handles preload for pvmove finish,
in similar way handle suspend of starting pvmove.
In this case the precommited metadata are checked for list of PVMOVEed
LVs and those are suspended in with committed metadata.
When activation of LVs fails prior pvmove start, try to deactivate
already activated LVs.
TODO: possibly remember which LVs where already activate and only those
take down - devices which are already in-use will stay active.
Only lv_committed() now uses vg->vg_committed and it appears redundant
if its contents match the enclosing VG so don't waste cycles creating it
when that's known to be true when no write lock is held so the struct
won't get modified.
The persistent filter should not be imported by any command that doesn't
use it so take addtional note of REQUIRES_FULL_LABEL_SCAN (for vgrename)
and introduce IGNORE_PERSISTENT_FILTER for vgscan and pvscan.
In HA cluster, we have "clvm" resource agent to manage clvmd daemon.
The agent invokes clvmd like: "clvmd -T90 -d0", which always prints

When specifed with "-d" option, clvmd tries to check if an instance

The connect() will fail with this ENOENT error in such case, so supress

Since 4fa5add6b1 ("pvcreate: Wipe cached

for the lvmcache_del. (toollib and liblvm need fixing to share
the code.)
Correct reported message when thin snapshot has been already merged.
So lvm2 is no longer reporting "Mergins of snapshot X will occur..."
(even with swapped names).
When an ignored metadata area gets flagged for use again, make sure the
code doesn't try to parse its old metadata. Firstly by trying to detect
this situation and skipping the read (while still remembering the
position reached in the circular buffer), and secondly by clearing the
invalid live metadata location on disk as a precaution when subsequently
writing out the precommitted metadata.
Problems showed up when a metadata area in one VG got moved to
another VG in ignored state (still holding metadata for the original
VG) and then later got brought into use in the new VG - only the header
should be read in this case, not any of the metadata content.
vgsplit shares the vg_rename code so that must only set the PV_MOVED_VG
flag introduced in commit 486ed10848
("vgmerge: Fix intermediate metadata corruption") on PVs that moved.
Last patch missed to mention, we've improved/fixed generated paths
in units and init.d shell scripts when lvm2 was plainly configured
with just i.e. --prefix.
Note: some distros might have fully specified --sbindir and
--usrsbindir - thus those very not seeing problems in generated paths.
Do not allow to take snapshot of mirror/raid leg or log or metadata LV.
This was actually never supported, but user was able to create it,

lvcreate supports a 'conversion' when caching LV.
This normally worked fine, however in case passed LV was
thin-pool's data LV with suffix _tdata we have failed to early.
As the easiest fix looks dropping validation of name when
caching type is select - such name check will happen later
once the VG is opened again and properly detect if the LV
with protected name already exists and can be converted,
or will be rejected as ambigiuous operation requiring user
to specify --type cache | --type cache-pool.
Replaced the confusing device error message "not found (or ignored by
filtering)" by either "not found" or "excluded by a filter".
(Later we should be able to say which filter.)
Left the the liblvm code paths alone.
Activation lock has a primary purpose to serialize locking of individual
LV in case there is no other protecting mechanism for parallel
execution.
However in the case an activated LV is composed from several other LVs,
noone should be able to manipulate with those LVs as well.
This patch add a very 'naive' global VG activation locking in this case.
In the future we may introduce smarter function detecting minimal closed
graph components if this will appear as bottleneck
Patch checks if the VG Write lock is held - in this case we do not
need any more locking - command has exclusive access to VG.
In case we have clustered VG and we are activating an LV which does not
need other LVs - we also do not need any more locks.
In all other cases take respective lock - for single LV - use lvid,
for complex LVs use vgname.
vgmerge suffers from a similar problem to the one fixed in commit
8146548d25 ("vgsplit: Fix intermediate
metadata corruption.")
When merging, splitting or renaming VGs, use a new PV status flag
PV_MOVED_VG to mark the PVs that hold metadata with the old VG name and
use this to provide PV-level granularity instead of incorrectly assuming
all PVs in the VG are the same.
Changing the VG of a PV uses the same on-disk mechanism as vgrename.
This relies on recognising both the old and new VG names. Prior to this
patch the vgsplit code incorrectly provided the new VG name twice
instead of the old and new ones. This lead the low-level mechanism not
to recognise the device as already belonging to a VG and so paying no
attention to the location of its existing metadata, sometimes partly
overwriting it and then later trying to read the corrupt metadata and
issuing a checksum error.
In a shared VG, only allow pvmove with a named LV,
so that only PE's used by the LV will be moved.
The LV is then activated exclusively, ensuring that
the PE's being moved are not used from another host.
Previously, pvmove was mistakenly allowed on a full PV.
This won't work when LVs using that PV are active on
other hosts.
Enable handling of --poolmetadataspare so if user can prevent
creation of _pmspare volume during --repair operation (just
like during actual lvcreate or lvconvert) for pool volumes.
When file-locking mode failed on locking, such description was leaked
(typically not an issue since command usually exists afterwards).
So shirt close() at the end of function and use it in all error paths.
Also make sure, when interrrupt is detected, it's really not holding
lock and returns 0.
Fix code checking that the 2nd mda which is at the end of disk really
fits the available free space and avoid any DA and MDA interleaving when
we already have DA preallocated. This mainly applies when we're restoring
a PV from VG backup using pvcreate --restorefile where we may already have
some DA preallocated - this means the PV was in a VG before with already
allocated space from it (the LVs were created). Hence we need to avoid
stepping into DA - the MDA can never ever be inside in such case!
The code responsible for this calculation was already in
_text_pv_add_metadata_area fn, but it had a bug in the calculation where
we subtracted one more sector by mistake and then the code could still
incorrectly allocate the MDA inside existing DA. The patch also renames
the variable in the code so it doesn't confuse us in future.
Also, if the 2nd mda doesn't fit, don't silently continue with just 1
MDA (at the start of the disk). If 2nd mda was requested and we can't
create that due to unavailable space, error out correctly (the patch
also adds a test to shell/pvcreate-operation.sh for this case).
If the PV was originally created with a larger-than-default
metadata area the restored one wasn't and might not even be
large enough to hold the metadata!
Previously the cache remembered an existing bootloaderarea and
reinstated it (without even checking for overlap) when asked to
write out the PV. pvcreate could write out an incorrect layout.
Avoid adding -g more then once for debug builds.
Avoid enabling DEBUG_MEM when we build multithreaded tools.
Link executables with -fPIE -pie and --export-dynamic LDFLAGS
Introduce PROGS_FLAGS to add option to pass flags for external libs.
Link lvm2 internally library only when really used.
Link DAEMON_LIBS with daemons.
Pass VALGRIND_CFLAGS internally
Set shell failure mode on couple places.
lvm2 warned about zeroing and too big chunksize (>=512KiB), but
only during lvconvert, so lvcreate was creating thin-pools
without any warning about possible slowness of thin provisioning
because of zeroing.
Since _deactivate_and_remove_lvs() is used in more then one place,
move the needed udev synchronization into this function so other
users automatically get correct fs state before next dm manipulation.
Assumption here is that this udev synchronization 'delay' may also
prevent to 'early' table reloads which might cause kernel problems
for md-core - but we may need more generic time-limited reload
frequency for raid devices.
Note: on udev-less system there will be almost no delay.
Since we are reading size as (double) we can get way bigger
number then just plain int64. So to make this check actually
more valid and usable do a maxsize compare in 'double'.

Centralise editing of the client list into _add_client() and

the list gets walked.
While processing one element of the list in main_loop(),
cleanup_zombie() may be called and remove a different element, so make
sure main_loop() refreshes its list state on return. Prior to this
patch, the list edits for clients disappearing could race against the
list edits for new clients connecting and corrupt the list and cause a
variety of segfaults.
An easy way to trigger such failures was by repeatedly running shell
commands such as:
lvs &; lvs &; lvs &;...;killall -9 lvs; lvs &; lvs &;...
Situations that occasionally lead to the failures can be spotted by
looking for 'EOF' with 'inprogress=1' in the clvmd debug logs.

When raid leg rimage device is marked as 'D'ead by mdcore,

Add detection of transiently failing devices.
Basically reverting commit 58a9f88b8c.
We can use origin_only in case we are snapshot's origin,
as we do support this stack.
So when we are 'uncaching' origin+snaps - we do need to reload only
origin and we do not need to play with snaps.
'lvdisplay -m' tried to go through NULL policy settings,
when such policy was not defined for CachedLV.
Patch is fixing display of cache-pool without defined settings,
as this is now a valid pool and we mostly want users to define
these settings when actually really caching a LV.
Since cache LV can be a stacked device, there is no real reason
trying to use slight optimised tree for origin_only cache reload
(it could be even wrongly implemented in this case).
We can easily go with stardard tree load here.
When user runs command like 'lvconvert --splitcache' the operation
might be actually either slow or not making any progress in kernel,
so lets give user a chance to abort such operation.
When user press 'Ctrl+C' device table is restored to pre-flushing state.
Enhance reporting code, so it does not need to do 'extra' ioctl to
get 'status' of normal raid and provide percentage directly.
When we have 'merging' snapshot into raid origin, we still need to get
this secondary number with extra status call - however, since 'raid'
is always a single segment LV - we may skip 'copy_percent' call as
we directly know the percent and also with better precision.
NOTE: for mirror we still base reported number on the percetage of
transferred extents which might get quite imprecisse if big size
of extent is used while volume itself is smaller as reporting jump
steps are much bigger the actual reported number provides.
2nd.NOTE: raid lvs line report already requires quite a few extra status
calls for the same device - but fix will be need slight code improval.
Previously, we were treating non-RAID to RAID up-converts as a "resync"
operation. (The most common example being 'linear -> RAID1'.) RAID to
RAID up-converts or rebuilds of specific RAID images are properly treated
as a "recover" operation.
Since we were treating some up-convert operations as "resync", it was
possible to have scenarios where data corruption or data loss were
possibilities if the RAID hadn't been able to sync completely before a
loss of the primary source devices. In order to ensure that the user took
the proper precautions in such scenarios, we required a '--force' option
to be present. Unfortuneately, the force option was rendered useless
because there was no way to distiguish the failure state of a potentially
destructive repair from a nominal one - making the '--force' option a
requirement for any RAID1 repair!
We now treat non-RAID to RAID up-converts properly as "recover" operations.
This eliminates the scenarios that can potentially cause data loss or
data corruption; and this eliminates the need for the '--force' requirement.
This patch removes the requirement to specify '--force' for RAID repairs.
Two of the sync actions performed by the kernel (aka MD runtime) are
"resync" and "recover". The "resync" refers to when an entirely new array
is going through the process of initializing (or resynchronizing after an
unexpected shutdown). The "recover" is the process of initializing a new
member device to the array. So, a brand new array with all new devices
will undergo "resync". An array with replaced or added sub-LVs will undergo
"recover".
These two states are treated very differently when failures happen. If any
device is lost or replaced while "resync", there are no worries. This is
because any writes created from the inception of the array have occurred to
all the devices and can be safely recovered. Even though non-initialized
portions will still be resync'ed with uninitialized data, it is ok. However,
if a pre-existing device is lost (aka, the original linear device in a
linear -> raid1 convert) during a "recover", data loss can be the result.
Thus, writes are errored by the kernel and recovery is halted. The failed
device must be restored or removed. This is the correct behavior.
Unfortunately, we were treating an up-convert from linear as a "resync"
when we should have been treating it as a "recover". This patch
removes the special case for linear upconvert. It allows each new image
sub-LV to be marked with a rebuild flag and treats the array as 'in-sync'.
This has the correct effect of causing the upconvert to be treated as a
"recover" rather than a "resync". There is no need to flag these two states
differently in LVM metadata, because they are already considered differently
by the kernel RAID metadata. (Any activation/deactivation will properly
resume the "recover" process and not a "resync" process.)
We make this behavior change based on the presense of dm-raid target
version 1.9.0+.
Code path missed validation of lvcreate --cachepool argument.
If the non cache-pool LV was passed in, code has still continued
further work and failed later on internal error. Validate this
condition at right place now.
When a combination of thin-pool chunk size and thin-pool data size
goes beyond addressable limit, such volume creation is directly
prohibited.
Maximum usable thin-pool size is calculated with use of maximal support
metadata size (even when it's created smaller) and given chunk-size.
If the value data size is found to be too big, the command reports
error and operation fails.
Previously thin-pool was created however lots of thin-pool data LV was
not usable and this space in VG has been wasted.
Warn about a PV that has the in-use flag set, but appears in
the orphan VG (no VG was found referencing it.)
There are a number of conditions that could lead to this:
. The PV was created with no mdas and is used in a VG with
other PVs (with metadata) that have not yet appeared on
the system. So, no VG metadata is found by lvm which
references the in-use PV with no mdas.
. vgremove could have failed after clearing mdas but
before clearing the in-use flag. In this case, the
in-use flag needs to be manually cleared on the PV.
. The PV may have damanged/unrecognized VG metadata
that lvm could not read.
. The PV may have no mdas, and the PVs with the metadata
may have damaged/unrecognized metadata.
A PV holding VG metadata that lvm can't understand
(e.g. damaged, checksum error, unrecognized flag)
will appear as an in-use orphan, and will be cleared
by this repair code. Disable this repair until the
code can keep track of these problematic PVs, and
distinguish them from actual in-use orphans.
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.
Allow storing LV status bits with segment type name field.
Switching to this since this field has better support for compatibility
with older version of lvm2 - since such unknown segtype will not cause
complete invisiblity of metadata from older lvm2 code - just the
particular LV will become unusable with unknown type of segment.
When 'fsadm' was running without terminal (i.e. pipe), it's been
automatically working like in '--yes'.
Detect terminal and only accept empty "" input in this mode.
Add more validation to catch mainly renamed devices, where
filesystem utils are not able to handle devices properly,
as they are not addressed by major:minor by rather via some
symbolic path names which can change over time via rename operation.
Offer possible interim LV types and display their aliases
(e.g. raid5 and raid5_ls) for all conversions between
striped and any raid LVs in case user requests a type
not suitable to direct conversion.
E.g. running "lvconvert --type raid5 LV" on a striped
LV will replace raid5 aka raid5_ls (rotating parity)
with raid5_n (dedicated parity on last image).
User is asked to repeat the lvconvert command to get to the
requested LV type (raid5 aka raid5_ls in this example)
when such replacement occurs.

Add an exception to not allowing lvchange to change properties
on hidden LVs. When a thin pool data LV is a cache LV, we
need to allow changing cache properties on the tdata sublv of
the thin pool.
Trap cases where the percentage calculation currently leads to an empty
LV and the message:
Internal error: Unable to create new logical volume with no extents
Additionally convert the calculated number of extents from physical to
logical when creating a mirror using a percentage that is based on
Physical Extents. Otherwise a command like 'lvcreate -m3 -l80%FREE'
can never leave any free space.
This brings the behaviour closer to that of lvresize.
(A further patch is needed to cover all the raid types.)
_check_reappeared_pv() incorrectly clears the MISSING_PV flags of
PVs with unknown devices.
While one caller avoids passing such PVs into the function, the other
doesn't. Move the check inside the function so it's not forgotten.
Without this patch, if the normal VG reading code tries to repair
inconsistent metadata while there is an unknown PV, it incorrectly
considers the missing PVs no longer to be missing and produces
incorrect 'pvs' output omitting the missing PV, for example.
Easy reproducer:
Create a VG with 3 PVs pv1, pv2, pv3.
Hide pv2.
Run vgreduce --removemissing.
Reinstate the hidden PV pv2 and at the same time hide a different PV
pv3.
Run 'pvs' - incorrect output.
Run 'pvs' again - correct output.

Using any arg with a command name in a script file
would cause the command to fail.
The name of the script file being executed was being passed

to still work when run trivially with no args).

We have to unset the LoadState variable from previous use when we check
for systemd unit state. We use this variable to check if systemd services
are loaded or not and if it is loaded, we issue systemctl commands to

Cache pool read/writes metadata_format within its segment type..
For CachePoolLV unselected metadata format is NOT stored in metadata.
For CacheLV when metadata format is not present/selected in lvm2 metadata,
it's automatically assumed to be the version 1 (backward compatible).
To ensure older lvm2 will not 'miss-read' metadata with new version 2,
such LV is marked with METADATA_FORMAT status flag (segment is
specifying metadata format). So when cache uses metadata format 2,
it will become inaccesible on older system without such support.
(kernel dm cache < 1.10, lvm2 < 2.02.169).
Add new profilable configation setting to let user select
which metadata format of a created cache pool he wish to use.
By default the 'best' available format is autodetected at runtime,
but user may enforce format 1 or 2 ATM.
Code also detects availability for metadata2 supporting cache target.
In case of troubles user may easily Disable usage of this feature
by placing 'metadata2' into global/cache_disabled_features list.
Reuse same code for getting/setting cache parameters with lvcreate.
So there is single one place how to get vars from profiles and configs.
Variables declarations are moved to start of function and
there is no need to initialize them as they are always
defined by functions get_cache_params() and get_pool_params().
Since cache chunk might be huge and there is no technical need
to enforce rounding and there is actually more 'real' VG space
used then necessary - keep rounding on 'chunk' bounrary only
for thin volumes - where it's the space used anyway.
NB: we support conversion of any-size 'existing' LV into cached LV.
Fix missing reset of '*settings' pointer when no args were given.
Handle cache_chunk settings like all other settings, so it is properly
updated only with non-zero settings and the existing cache-pool

User can specify metadata profile which stores important cache
geometry data for easy configuration.

for a cache/cache pools volumes from configuration or metadata profile.

The MD kernel raid1 personality does no use any writemostly leg as the primary.
In case a previous linear LV holding data gets upconverted to
raid1 it becomes the primary leg of the new raid1 LV and a full
resynchronization is started to update the new legs.
No writemostly and/or writebehind setting may be allowed during
this initial, full synchronization period of this new raid1 LV
(using the lvchange(8) command), because that would change the
primary (i.e the previous linear LV) thus causing data loss.
lvchange has a bug not preventing this scenario.
Fix rejects setting writemostly and/or writebehind on resychronizing raid1 LVs.
Once we have status in the lvm2 metadata about the linear -> raid upconversion,
we may relax this constraint for other types of resynchronization
(e.g. for user requested "lvchange --resync ").
New lvchange-raid1-writemostly.sh test is added to the test suite.

Previously when lvremove tried to remove 'active' origin,
it had been asking for every 'snapshot' LV separately
and doing individual single snapshot removals first.
To be faster it now deactivates origin before removal
all connected snapshots.
This avoids multiple reloads of dm table for origin volume
which were unnecessary as origin was meant to be removed as well.
Some archs can use even 64K pages and then lvm2 runs into trouble if
the stack is 'too small' to fit extra page capturing stack overwrite.
So when lvm2 limits stack - add extra mem page - be it 4K or 64K.

When showing sizes with 'H|human' units we do use standard rounding.
This however is confusing users from time to time,
when the printed number uses some biger units i.e. GiB and there is just
tiny fraction of space missing.
So here is some real-life example with new 'r' unit.
$lvs
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin
lvol0 vg -wi-a----- 1.99g
lvol1 vg -wi-a----- <2.00g
lvol2 vg -wi-a----- <2.01g
Meaning is - lvol1 has 'slightly' less then 2.00g - from sign '<' user
can be aware the LV doesn't have full 2.00GiB in size so he
will be less surpriced allocation of 2G volume will not succeed.
$ vgs
VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree
vg 2 2 0 wz--n- <6,00g <2,01g
For uses needing 'old' undecorated human unit simply will continue
to use 'H|h' units.
The new R|r may further change when we would recongnize some
other way how to improve readability.
The blkdeactivate script processes MD devices too so we should unmount
any mount point on top of an MD device if blkdeactivate -u|--umount is
called.

During rework of resize code this validation check
has been lost (in my resize branch). Upstream
is still not supporting resize of any cache type LV
so needs to be prevented.
When we need to clear dirty cache content of cached LV, there
is table reload which usually is shortly followed by next metadata
change. However udev can't (as of now) process udev event
while device is 'suspended'.
So whenever sequence of 'suspend/resume/suspend' is needed,
we need to wait first for finishing of 'resume' processing before
starting next 'suspend'. Otherwise there is 'race' danger of triggering
unwantend umount by systemd as such event will trigger
SYSTEMD_READY=0 state for a moment for such changed device.
Such race is pretty ugly to trace so we may need to review more
sequencies for missing 'sync'.
(Other option is to enhnace 'udev' rules processing to avoid
such dramatic actions to be happening for suspended devices).

The only reasonable behaviour here is to error on
any number out of accepted range (i.e. now numbers
wrapping around with some hidden logic).
As this is plain bug there is no support for
backward compatibility since noone should
set numbers >UINT32_MAX and expect 0 or error
depending on how big number was used....
TODO: more fields might need to be converted.
When there is 'merging' of an origin in progress, but metadata stil
do provide both origin and snapshot, we should show data from merged
snapshot. This is important mainly for thin case, where there was
a window, where i.e. 'lvs -o+device_id' would report information
about 'already gone' origin thin LV.
This race window is usually hard to trigger but can be ocasionally hit.
Usually shortly after activation, but before polling process manages
to update metadata after merge.
Before starting polling process, validate the merge has actually started
so there is not pointless invoke of lvmpolld.
This also fixes reported message from command, so user has
correct info whether merging has already started or
if it's delayed for next activation.
Move individual segment validation to a separate function
executed for 'complete_vg'.
Move some 'extra' validation bits from 'raid' validation to global
segtype validation (so extending existing normal validation)
TODO: still some test are left to be moved.
Reduce some duplication in validation process - there are still
some left thought so still room for improving overal speed.
We can't keep 'display_lvname' for too long - it's using
ringbuffer and keeps limited number of names. So it's
safe only per few simple tests, but can't be used anymore
after some function calls..

When command calls backup() more then once (which is actually not
wanted) this warning message is shown repeatedly:
"WARNING: This metadata update is NOT backed up."
Instead now print message just once and less confuse user.
Add this functionality to lvconvert:
'lvconvert --thin cachedLV --thinpool vg/poll'
Converts cachedLV to external origin (which will be read-only).
New thin volume is created in thinpool LV and it's using external
origin as source for unprovisioned chunks.
This conversion happens online (while volume is in use).
Thin LV remains fully writable.
Cached external origin no longer could be written so cache will be used
ONLY for read operations. For this limitation we require cache mode
to be writethrough (as writeback cannot write to read-only volumes).
When thinLV is later removed cached external origin is again
fully usable, just note, LV remain in 'read-only' mode.
When read-write is needed, 'lvchange -prw' has to be used.
Single external origin could be user by multiple thinLV in
multiple differen thin pool.
When cache volume may be converted from normal to -real layer LV
we need to improve logic for call cache_check.
With this patch, we register call for cache_check only when metadata LV
is not yet present in active table slot (should match initial table
load).
This avoids unwanted checking when cache would become layer device
online.
External origin could be reloaded via more locks.
It's actually even more complex then thin-pool,
as it may be active on more nodes for linear LVs
(and maybe even more types).
External origin is always read-only thus unmodifiable
device so there should not be a problem accesing it
through multiple nodes.
Also for thin-pool check first presence of active thin-pool.
FIXME:
It's not easy to detect on which nodes this device is active
Thus manipulation with such device may require checking every
node and it active state and refresh.
But since such setup is quite complex to prepare and use,
hopefully there are not user trying to 'explore' this usage yet.
To be ready to show status of cache volume, call the status
with layer. Layer is automatically detected in this case when
cache volume is used in 'layered' form (needs -real suffix).
Avoid printing misleading message about single dirty block.
Instead properly detect condition where the 'cleaner' policy
needs to be installed without 'overloading' dirty variable.
Also print warning if we would be clearing read-only volume.
(it really shouldn't happen).
External origin could be activated as stand-alone device.
When the last thin LV is removed, external origin is no longer
the external origin and it's layer property was dropped.
Ensure dm table is correct by reloading external origin
(when it's active).
When LV is external origin, show info for LV but
status for -layer. So we expose more info to a user
as otherwise active external origin is only linear
mapping of -real layer.
We do the same for i.e. old snaphost origin.
Activation of raid has brough up also splitted image with tracing
(without taking lock for this).
So when raid is now activate - such image is not put into
table (with _rmeta). When user needs such device, just active it.
RAID is LV property
TODO: only 2 flags are seg->status: PVMOVE & MERGING
At least the second one should be soon elimanted as again
we merge LV not a segment.
This is another place for 'common' use pattern or
reload and activation of deleted devices.
(Moving the exclusive activation to _deactivate_and_remove_lvs()).
TODO: looks like halve of raid function is reloading
just 'origin' - and the other full LV.
Fix order of operation when converting raid1 into old mirror.
Before any later metadata modification are initiated prepare
mirror_log device with all clearing.
Then directly convert raid1 into mirror with mirror_log.
This convertion now properly see as precommitted metadata
new 'mirror' and committed old 'raid' and is able to
preload all LVs.
