125f27ac37 udev: remove unsupported OPTIONS+="event_timeout" rule
The OPTIONS+="event_timeout" is Unsupported since systemd/udev version 216,
that is ~5 years ago.

Since systemd/udev version 243, there's a new message printed if unsupported
OPTIONS value is used:

  Invalid value for OPTIONS key, ignoring: 'event_timeout=180'

fef8e50689 udev: do not overwrite ID_MODEL in 69-dm-lvm-metad.rules
We've been assigning this in 69-dm-lvm-metad.rules:

  ENV{ID_MODEL}="LVM PV $env{ID_FS_UUID_ENC} on /dev/$name"

This was for the description to appear for each systemd device
unit representing this device, for example:

  $systemctl -a | grep "LVM PV"
  dev-block-252:2.device                                                                                         loaded    active   plugged   LVM PV JhxC7B-YTgk-3jIU-5GVo-c4gV-W8t3-UUz06p on /dev/vda2 2
  dev-disk-by\x2did-lvm\x2dpv\x2duuid\x2dJhxC7B\x2dYTgk\x2d3jIU\x2d5GVo\x2dc4gV\x2dW8t3\x2dUUz06p.device         loaded    active   plugged   LVM PV JhxC7B-YTgk-3jIU-5GVo-c4gV-W8t3-UUz06p on /dev/vda2 2
  ...

However, there could be an actual ID_MODEL that people are interested in
more than the fact that this is an LVM PV and so we shouldn't overwrite
the value.

Also, we already have a symlink /dev/disk/by-id/lvm-pv-uuid-<PV_UUID>
created which is then reflected as device unit (all device's symlinks
have systemd device unit representation) so we can still reach this
information in systemd unit listings even without setting the ID_MODEL.

7a7b8a7778 udev: keep systemd vars on change event in 69-dm-lvm-metad.rules for systemd reload
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.

99bfbbf229 udev: explicit pvscan rule in 69-dm-lvm-metad.rules
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.

c48149cf80 udev: also create /dev/disk/by-part{label,uuid} and gpt-auto-root symlinks
The blkid we call in 13-dm-disk.rules also returns identifiers for
partitions based on which the /dev/disk/by-part{uuid,label} and
gpt-auto-root symlinks should be created in the same manner as we
already create symlinks for filesystem labels and uuids.

This is because we handle blkid calls and symlink creation under
/dev/disk ourselves in our 13-dm-disk.rules for device-mapper devices
for us to have more control over this process.

and original report http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/19489 for
the exact case where these symlinks were missing.

Multipath 0.6.0 contains new 11-dm-mpath.rules which supersede the rule
that was in 10-dm.rules. The 11-dm-mpath.rules are also more complete,
fixing several other issues. Using the new 11-dm-mpath.rules from
multipath-tools >= 0.6.0 is strongly recommended for proper

2c42f60890 udev: run pvscan --cache via systemd-run in udev if the PV label is detected lost
If the PV label is lost (e.g. by doing a dd on the device), call
"systemd-run pvscan --cache <major>:<minor>" in 69-dm-lvm-metad.rules
to inform lvmetad about this state.

The reason for this is that ENV{SYSTEMD_WANTS}="lvm2-pvscan@<major>:<minor>"
logic will not cause the pvscan to be fired in this case since this works
only on proper device addition/removal cycle - the lvm2-pvscan service's
ExecStop is called only on proper REMOVE event - the service is bound to
device existence. Hence we need pvscan call via systemd-run (that
instantiates a quick transient service just to call the command).

417e52c13a udev: create /dev/disk/by-id/lvm-pv-uuid-<PV_UUID> symlink for a PV
We already have /dev/disk/by-id/dm-uuid-... (which encompasses the
VG UUID and LV UUID in case of LVs since the mapping's UUID is
VG+LV UUID together) and /dev/disk/by-id/dm-name-... (which encompasses
the VG and LV name in case of LVs).

This patch addds /dev/disk/by-id/lvm-pv-uuid-<PV_UUID> that completes
this scheme and makes navigation a bit easier using PV UUIDs since
one can navigate using PV UUIDs only and there's no need to do extra
PV UUID <--> kernel name matching (the PV UUID is stable across reboots).
This may come in handy in various scripts.

Since we already have the PV UUID stored in udev database (as a result
of blkid call - returned in ID_FS_UUID blkid's variable), this operation
is very cheap indeed, just creating the extra one symlink.

b662f3c8dd udev: do not drop SYSTEMD_READY for non-activating events
Do not drop device's flag to report readiness for systemd
processing if there's any event that follows the activatiion
event itself. Otherwise, systemd would lost track of this device
on any other event that follows the activating event (IOW, we
need to make SYSTEMD_READY variable change level-based, not edge-based).

This patch applies for MD and loop devices used as PVs.

4c267c7286 udev: fix SYSTEMD_READY assignment for foreign devices in lvmetad rules
Some devices, similarly to us, are not prepared after ADD event, but
after an extra CHANGE event when the device is properly set up.
This includes MD and loop devices. This patch fixes the
SYSTEMD_READY assignment that is crucial for proper functionality
of SYSTEMD_WANTS that we use to instantiate a lvm2-pvscan@.service
systemd service to activate the VG/LVs (see also bug
info).

All that extra handling of foreign devices should eventually be moved
to rules which process those devices primarily (MD and loop)! We should
only check a dedicated variable whether the device is usable or not.

9d0621267d udev: proper reset of DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES_FLAG and honour this flag in lvmetad rules
Reset the DM_UDEV_OTHER_RULES_FLAG to original value right at the
time of dropping the DM_NOSCAN flag.

When DM_NOSCAN is set, the DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES_FLAG is also set
to avoid udev processing in "other/foreign" rules. If the noscan flag
is dropped, the DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES_FLAG should be reset to
its original value.

Also, lvmetad should respect the DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES_FLAG
because if the volume is set with this flag it:
  - definitely is not a top-level device (so makes no sense for lvmetad scanning)
  - is not supposed to be scanned further (for any stacking on top of
    it, including LVM stacking itself and any autoactivation of stacked LVs)

3fee661028 udev+systemd: refine lvm2-pvscan@.service to better track device existence
When using ENV{SYSTEMD_WANTS}=lvm2-pvscan@... to instantiate a service
for lvmetad scan when the new PV appears in the system, the service
is started and executed. However, to track device removal, we need
to bind it (the "BindsTo" systemd directive) to a certain .device
systemd unit.

In default systemd setup, the device is tracked by it's name and
sysfs path (there's normally a sysfs path .device systemd unit for
a device and then the device name .device unit as an alias for it).
Neither of these two is useful for lvmetad update as we need to bind
it to device's <major>:<minor> pair.

The /dev/block/<major>:<minor> is the essential symlink under /dev
that exists for each block device (created by default udev rules
provided by udev directly). So let's use this as an alias for
the device's .device unit as well by means of "ENV{SYSTEMD_ALIAS}"
declaration within udev rules which systemd understands (this will
create a new alias "dev-block-<major>:<minor>.device".

Then we can easily bind the "dev-block-<major>:<minor>" device
systemd unit with instantiated lvm2-pvscan@<major>:<minor>.service.
So once the device is removed from the systemd, the
lvm-pvscan@<major>:<minor>.service executes it's ExecStop action
(which in turn notifies lvmetad about the device being gone).

This completes the udev-systemd-lvmetad interaction then.

546db1c4be udev+systemd: make pvscan --cache -aay run as systemd background job from udev
The new lvm2-pvscan@.service is responsible for on-demand execution
of "pvscan --cache --activate ay" which causes lvmetad to be
updated and LVM activation done if the VG is complete.

Also, use udev-systemd mechanism to instantiate the job as the
lvm2-pvscan@$devnode.service on each newly appeared PV in the system.
This prevents the background job to be killed (that would happen
if it was directly forked from udev rule - this behaviour is seen
in recent versions of udev with the help of systemd that can track
detached processes - the detached process would still be in the same
cgroup).

To enable this official udev-systemd protocol for instantiating
background jobs, use new --enable-udev-systemd-background-jobs
configure switch (it's disabled by default). This option is highly
recommended wherever systemd is used!

2f5ddfbade udev: add support for "NOSCAN" flag
Recognize DM_SUBSYSTEM_UDEV_FLAG0 which for LVM is the "LVM_NOSCAN"
flag that causes the scanning to be skipped (mainly blkid) and
also directs all the foreign rules to be skipped as well.

Important thing here is that the "watch" udev rules is still set
as well as the /dev/disk/by-id content created (which does not
require any scanning to be done). Also, the flag is dropped on
any subsequent event and scanning done...

8d1d83504d udev: fix pvscan --cache -aay to trigger on relevant events
This patch fixes the way the special devices are handled
(special in this context means that they're not usable
after the usual ADD event like other generic devices):

  - DM and MD devices are pvscanned only when they are just set up.
    This is the first CHANGE event that makes the device  usable
    (the DM_UDEV_PRIMARY_SOURCE_FLAG is set for DM and the
     md/array_state sysfs attribute is present for MD).
    Whether the device is activated is remembered via
    DM_ACTIVATED (for DM) and LVM_MD_PV_ACTIVATED (for MD)
    udev environment variable. This is then used to decide
    whether we should fire the pvscan on ADD event to
    support coldplugging. For any (artificial) ADD event
    generated during coldplug, the device must be already
    set up properly to fire the pvscan on it.

  - Similar for loop devices. For loop devices, only CHANGE
    events are relevant (so there's a CHANGE after the loop
    device is set up as well as detached). Whether the loop
    has just been activated is detected via loop/backing_file
    sysfs attribute presence. The activation state is remembered
    via LVM_LOOP_PV_ACTIVATED udev environment variable.

  - Do not pvscan multipath device components (underlying paths).

  - Do not pvscan RAID device components.

  - Also, set LVM_SCANNED="1" udev environment variable for
    debug purposes (it's visible in the lvmdump -u that takes
    the current udev database). This variable is set once
    the pvscan is triggered.

The table below summarises when the pvscan is triggered
(marked with X, X* means fire only if the special dev is properly set up):

      | real ADD | real CHANGE | artificial ADD | artificial CHANGE | remove
=============================================================================
DM    |          |      X      |       X*       |                   |   X

008c33a21b tools: add -b/--background for pvscan --cache -aay
Udev daemon has recently introduced a limit on the number of udev
processes (there was no limit before). This causes a problem
when calling pvscan --cache -aay in lvmetad udev rules which
is supposed to activate the volumes. This activation is itself
synced with udev and so it waits for the activation to complete
before the pvscan finishes. The event processing can't continue
until this pvscan call is finished.

But if we're at the limit with the udev process count, we can't
instatiate any more udev processes, all such events are queued
and so we can't process the lvm activation event for which the
pvscan is waiting.

Then we're in a deadlock since the udev process with the
pvscan --cache -aay call waits for the lvm activation udev
processing to complete, but that will never happen as there's
this limit hit with the number of udev processes.

The process with pvscan --cache -aay actually times out eventually
(3min or 30sec, depends on the version of udev).

This patch makes it possible to run the pvscan --cache -aay
in the background so the udev processing can continue and hence
we can avoid the deadlock mentioned above.

4d3b5724e0 udev: inform lvmetad about lost PV label
In stacked environment where we have a PV layered on top of a
snapshot LV and then removing the LV, lvmetad still keeps information
about the PV:

[0] raw/~ $ pvcreate /dev/sda
  Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
[0] raw/~ $ vgcreate vg /dev/sda
  Volume group "vg" successfully created
[0] raw/~ $ lvcreate -L32m vg
  Logical volume "lvol0" created
[0] raw/~ $ lvcreate -L32m -s vg/lvol0
  Logical volume "lvol1" created
[0] raw/~ $ pvcreate /dev/vg/lvol1
  Physical volume "/dev/vg/lvol1" successfully created
[0] raw/~ $ lvremove -ff vg/lvol1
  Logical volume "lvol1" successfully removed
[0] raw/~ $ pvs
  No device found for PV BdNlu2-7bHV-XcIp-mFFC-PPuR-ef6K-yffdzO.
  PV         VG         Fmt  Attr PSize   PFree
  /dev/sda   vg         lvm2 a--  124.00m 92.00m
[0] raw/~ $ pvscan --cache --major 253 --minor 3
  Device 253:3 not found. Cleared from lvmetad cache.

This is because of the reactivation that is done just before
snapshot removal as part of the process (vg/lvol1 from the example above).
This causes a CHANGE event to be generated, but any scan done
on the LV does not see the original data anymore (in this case
the stacked PV label on top) and consequently the ID_FS_TYPE="LVM2_member"
(provided by blkid scan) is not stored in udev db anymore for the LV.
Consequently, the pvscan --cache is not run anymore as the dev is not
identified as LVM PV by the "LVM2_member" id - lvmetad loses this info
and still keeps records about the PV.

We can run into a very similar problem with erasing the PV label directly:

[0] raw/~ $ lvcreate -L32m vg
  Logical volume "lvol0" created
[0] raw/~ $ pvcreate /dev/vg/lvol0
  Physical volume "/dev/vg/lvol0" successfully created
[0] raw/~ $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/vg/lvol0 bs=1M
dd: error writing '/dev/vg/lvol0': No space left on device
33+0 records in

  No PV label found on /dev/vg/lvol0.

This patch adds detection of this change from ID_FS_LABEL="LVM2_member"
to ID_FS_LABEL="<whatever_else>" and hence informing the lvmetad
about PV being gone.

cac49725c9 udev: fix lvmetad rules to not ignore loop device configuration
If loop device is first configured on systems where /dev/loop-control
is used to dynamically create the loop device itself, there's an
ADD+CHANGE even generated. But next time the existing /dev/loop[0-9]*
is reused, there's only a CHANGE event since the device representing
it is already present in kernel (so no ADD event in this case).

We can't ignore this CHANGE event for loop devices! This is a regression
caused by 756bcabbfe. We already had
a similar problem with MD devices which was fixed by
2ac217d408 (but that one was
only an intra-release fix).

2ac217d408 udev: fire pvscan --cache properly on CHANGE event for MD devices
Commit 756bcabbfe restricted the
situations at which the LVM autoactivation fires - only on ADD
event for devices other than DM. However, this caused a problem
for MD devices...

MD devices are activated in a very similar way as DM devices:
the MD dev is created on first appeareance of MD array member
(ADD event) and stays *inactive* until the array is complete.
Just then the MD dev turns to active state and this is reported
to userspace by CHANGE event.

Unfortunately, we can't differentiate between the CHANGE event
coming from udev trigger/WATCH rule and CHANGE event coming from
the transition to active state - MD would need to add similar logic
we already use to detect this in DM world. For now, we just have
to enable pvscan --cache on *all* CHANGE events for MD so the
autoactivation of the LVM volumes on top of MD works.

A downside of this is that a spurious CHANGE event for MD dev
can cause the LVM volumes on top of it to be automatically activated.
However, one should not open/change the device underneath until
the device above in the stack is removed! So this situation should
only happen if one opens the MD dev for read-write by mistake
(and hence firing the CHANGE event because of the WATCH udev rule),
or if calling udev trigger manually for the MD dev.

(No WHATS_NEW here as this fixes the commit mentioned
above and which has not been released yet.)

764195207d udev: also autoactivate on coldplug
Commit 756bcabbfe fixed autoactivation
to not trigger on each uevent for a PV that appeared in the system
most notably the events that are triggered artificially (udevadm
trigger or as the result of the WATCH udev rule being applied that
consequently generates CHANGE uevents). This fixed a situation in
which VGs/LVs were activated when they should not.

BUT we still need to care about the coldplug used at boot to
retrigger the ADD events - the "udevadm trigger --action=add"!

For non-DM-based PVs, this is already covered as for these we
run the autoactivation on ADD event only.

However, for DM-based PVs, we still need to run the
autoactivation even for the artificial ADD event, reusing
the udev DB content from previous proper CHANGE event that
came with the DM device activation.

Simply, this patch fixes a situation in which we run extra
"udevadm trigger --action=add" (or echo add > /sys/block/<dev>/uevent)
for DM-based PVs (cryptsetup devices, multipath devices, any
other DM devices...).

Without this patch, while using lvmetad + autoactivation,
any VG/LV that has a DM-based PV and for which we do not
call the activation directly, the VG/LV is not activated.

For example a VG with an LV with root FS on it which is directly
activated in initrd and then missing activation of the rest
of the LVs in the VG because of unhandled uevent retrigger on
boot after switching to root FS (the "coldplug").

(No WHATS_NEW here as this fixes the commit mentioned
above and which was not released yet.)

756bcabbfe activation: fix autoactivation to not trigger on each PV change
Before, the pvscan --cache -aay was called on each ADD and CHANGE
uevent (for a device that is not a device-mapper device) and each CHANGE
event (for a PV that is a device-mapper device).

This causes troubles with autoactivation in some cases as CHANGE event
may originate from using the OPTION+="watch" udev rule that is defined
in 60-persistent-storage.rules (part of the rules provided by udev
directly) and it's used for all block devices
(except fd*|mtd*|nbd*|gnbd*|btibm*|dm-*|md* devices). For example, the
following sequence incorrectly activates the rest of LVs in a VG if one
of the LVs in the VG is being removed:

[root@rhel6-a ~]# pvcreate /dev/sda
  Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created

[root@rhel6-a ~]# vgcreate vg /dev/sda
  Volume group "vg" successfully created

[root@rhel6-a ~]# lvcreate -l1 vg
  Logical volume "lvol0" created

[root@rhel6-a ~]# lvcreate -l1 vg
  Logical volume "lvol1" created

[root@rhel6-a ~]# vgchange -an vg
  0 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg" now active

[root@rhel6-a ~]# lvs
  LV      VG        Attr      LSize   Pool Origin Data%  Move Log
Cpy%Sync Convert
  lvol0   vg        -wi------   4.00m
  lvol1   vg        -wi------   4.00m

[root@rhel6-a ~]# lvremove -ff vg/lvol1
  Logical volume "lvol1" successfully removed

[root@rhel6-a ~]# lvs
  LV      VG        Attr      LSize   Pool Origin Data%  Move Log
Cpy%Sync Convert
  lvol0   vg        -wi-a----   4.00m

...so the vg was deactivated, then lvol1 removed, and we end up with
lvol1 removed (which is ok) BUT with lvol0 activated (which is wrong)!!!
This is because after lvol1 removal, we need to write metadata to the
underlying device /dev/sda and that causes the CHANGE event to be
generated (because of the WATCH udev rule set on this device) and this
causes the pvscan --cache -aay to be reevaluated.

We have to limit this and call pvscan --cache -aay to autoactivate
VGs/LVs only in these cases:

 --> if the *PV is not a dm device*, scan only after proper device
addition (ADD event) and not with any other changes (CHANGE event)

 --> if the *PV is a dm device*, scan only after proper mapping
activation (CHANGE event + the underlying PV in a state "just
activated")

d2df8dddc8 pvscan: add --activate ay option (autoactivate)
Define auto_activation_handler that activates VGs/LVs automatically
based on the activation/auto_activation_volume_list (activating all
volumes by default if the list is not defined).

The autoactivation is done within the pvscan call in 69-dm-lvmetad.rules
that watches for udev events (device appearance/removal).

For now, this works for non-clustered and complete VGs only.

e6f8d86409 udev: udev rules cleanup
Remove executable path detection in udev rules and use sbindir that
is configured, but still provide the original functionality by means
of 'configure --enable-udev-rule-exec-detection'.

Normally, the exec path for the tools called in udev rules should
not differ from the sbindir used, however, there are cases this is
necessary. For example different environments could be assembled
in a way that these path differ for some reason (distribution installer,
initrd ...).

This functionality is kept for compatibility only. Any environment
moving the binaries around and using different paths should be fixed
eventually!

2c2bb4a458 Detect the lvm binary path in lvmetad udev rules.
We can't use 'DM_SBIN_PATH'. This one is set only for DM devices but not
for all block devices - the pvscan is run on all relevant block devices!

This LVM_SBIN_PATH (as well as DM_SBIN_PATH) detection should be removed
eventually but for upstream solution, we still have to do that as there are
known cases where the binaries are put either in /sbin or /usr/sbin
(some installation systems, initrd systems etc.).
