The same as for allocation/thin_pool_chunk_size - the default value
used is just a starting point. The calculation continues using the
properties of the devices actually used.
The allocation/thin_pool_chunk_size is a bit more complex. It's default
value is evaluated in runtime based on selected thin_pool_chunk_size_policy.
But the value is just a starting point. The calculation then continues
with dependency on the properties of the devices used. Which means for
such a default value, we know only the starting value.
The devices/cache and devices/cache_dir are evaluated in runtime this way:
- if devices/cache is set, use it
- if devices_cache/dir or devices/cache_file_prefix is set, make up a
path out of that for devices/cache in runtime, taking into account
the LVM_SYSTEM_DIR environment variable if set
- otherwise make up the path out of default which is:
<LVM_SYSTEM_DIR>/<cache_dir>/<cache_file_prefix>.cache
With the runtime defaults, we can encode this easily now. Also, the lvm
dumpconfig can show proper and exact information about this setting then
(the variant that shows default values).
Previously, we declared a default value as undefined ("NULL") for
settings which require runtime context to be set first (e.g. settings
for paths that rely on SYSTEM_DIR environment variable or they depend
on any other setting in some way).
If we want to output default values as they are really used in runtime,
we should make it possible to define a default value as function which
is evaluated, not just providing a firm constant value as it was before.
This patch defines simple prototypes for such functions. Also, there's
new helper macros "cfg_runtime" and "cfg_array_runtime" - they provide
exactly the same functionality as the original "cfg" and "cfg_array"
macros when defining the configuration settings in config_settings.h,
but they don't set the constant default value. Instead, they automatically
link the configuration setting definition with one of these functions:
typedef int (*t_fn_CFG_TYPE_BOOL) (struct cmd_context *cmd, struct profile *profile);
typedef int (*t_fn_CFG_TYPE_INT) (struct cmd_context *cmd, struct profile *profile);
typedef float (*t_fn_CFG_TYPE_FLOAT) (struct cmd_context *cmd, struct profile *profile);
typedef const char* (*t_fn_CFG_TYPE_STRING) (struct cmd_context *cmd, struct profile *profile);
typedef const char* (*t_fn_CFG_TYPE_ARRAY) (struct cmd_context *cmd, struct profile *profile);
(The new macros actually set the CFG_DEFAULT_RUNTIME flag properly and
set the default value link to the function accordingly).
Then such configuration setting requires a function of selected type to
be defined. This function has a predefined name:
get_default_<id>
...where the <id> is the id of the setting as defined in
config_settings.h. For example "backup_archive_dir_CFG" if defined
as a setting with default value evaluated in runtime with "cfg_runtime"
will automatically have "get_default_backup_archive_dir_CFG" function
linked to this setting to get the default value.
To make "lvm dumpconfig --type default" output to be usable like any
other config, we need to comment out lines that have no default value
defined. Otherwise, we'd have the output with config options
with blank or zero values which is not the same as when the value
is not defined! And such configuration can't be feed into lvm again
without further edits. So let's fix this.
Currently this covers these configuration options exactly:
devices/loopfiles
devices/preferred_names
devices/filter
devices/global_filter
devices/types
allocation/cling_tag_list
global/format_libraries
global/segment_libraries
activation/volume_list
activation/auto_activation_volume_list
activation/read_only_volume_list
activation/mlock_filter
metadata/dirs
metadata/disk_areas
metadata/disk_areas/<disk_area>
metadata/disk_areas/<disk_area>/start_sector
metadata/disk_areas/<disk_area>/size
metadata/disk_areas/<disk_area>/id
tags/<tag>
tags/<tag>/host_list
Till now, we needed the config tree merge only for merging
tag configs with lvm.conf. However, this type of merging
did a few extra exceptions:
- leaving out the tags section
- merging values in activation/volume_list
- merging values in devices/filter
- merging values in devices/types
Any other config values were replaced by new values.
However, we'd like to do a 'raw merge' as well, simply
bypassing the exceptions listed above. This will help
us to create a single tree representing the cascaded
configs like CONFIG_STRING -> CONFIG_PROFILE -> ...
The reason for this patch is that when trees are cascaded,
the first value found while traversing the cascade is used,
not making any exceptions like we do for tag configs.
When CFG_DEF_TREE_MISSING is created, it needs to know the status
of the check done on the tree used (the CFG_USED flag).
This bug was introduced with f1c292cc38
"make it possible to run several instances of configuration check at
once". This patch separated the CFG_USED and CFG_VALID flags in
a separate 'status' field in struct cft_check_handle.
However, when creating some trees, like CFG_DEF_TREE_MISSING,
we need this status to do a comparison with full config definition
to determine which items are missing and for which default values
were used. Otherwise, all items would be considered missing.
So, pass this status in a new field called 'check_status' in
struct config_def_tree_spec that defines how the (dumpconfig) tree
should be constructed (and this struct is passed to
config_def_create_tree fn then).
Besides the classical configuration checks (type checking and
checking whether the item is recognized by lvm tools) for profiles,
do an extra check whether the configuration setting is customizable
by a profile at all. Give a warning message if not.
Before, the status of the configuration check (config_def_check fn call)
was saved directly in global configuration definitinion array (as part
of the cfg_def_item_t/flags)
This patch introduces the "struct cft_check_handle" that defines
configuration check parameters as well as separate place to store
the status (status here means CFG_USED and CFG_VALID flags, formerly
saved in cfg_def_item_t/flags). This struct can hold config check
parameters as well as the status for each config tree separately,
thus making it possible to run several instances of config_def_check
without interference.
When placing the profile in a configuration cascade, this sequence is
used exactly:
CONFIG_STRING -> CONFIG_PROFILE -> CONFIG_FILE/MERGED_FILES
So if the profile is used, it overloads the lvm.conf (and any
existing tag configs). However, if "--config" is used to define
a custom configuration on command line, this overloads even the
profile config!
This patch adds --profile arg to lvm cmds and adds config/profile_dir
configuration setting to select the directory where profiles are stored
By default it's /etc/lvm/profile.
The profiles are added by using new "add_profile" fn and then loaded
using the "load_profile" fn. All profiles are stored in a cmd context
within the new "struct profile_params":
struct profile_params {
const char *dir;
struct profile *global_profile;
struct dm_list profiles_to_load;
struct dm_list profiles;
};
...where "dir" is the directory with profiles, "global_profile" is
the profile that is set globally via the --profile arg (IOW, not
set per VG/LV basis based on metadata record) and the "profiles"
is the list with loaded profiles.
A helper type that helps with identification of the configuration source
which makes handling the configuration cascade a bit easier, mainly
removing and adding configuration trees to cascade dynamically.
Currently, the possible types are:
CONFIG_UNDEFINED - configuration is not defined yet (not initialized)
CONFIG_FILE - one file configuration
CONFIG_MERGED_FILES - configuration that is a result of merging more files into one
CONFIG_STRING - configuration string typed on cmd line directly
CONFIG_PROFILE - profile configuration (the new type of configuration, patches will follow...)
Also, generalize existing "remove_overridden_config_tree" to work with
configuration type identification in a cascade. Before, it was just
the CONFIG_STRING we used. Now, we need some more to add in a
cascade (like the CONFIG_PROFILE). So, we have:
struct dm_config_tree *remove_config_tree_by_source(struct cmd_context *cmd, config_source_t source);
config_source_t config_get_source_type(struct dm_config_tree *cft);
... for removing the tree by its source type from the cascade and
simply getting the source type.
lvm dumpconfig [--withcomments] [--withversions]
The --withcomments causes the comments to appear on output before each
config node (if they were defined in config_settings.h).
The --withversions causes a one line extra comment to appear on output
before each config node with the version information in which the
configuration setting first appeared.
Configuration checking is initiated during config load/processing
(_process_config fn) which is part of the command context
creation/refresh.
This patch also defines 5 types of trees that could be created from
the configuration definition (config_settings.h), the cfg_def_tree_t:
- CFG_DEF_TREE_CURRENT that denotes a tree of all the configuration
nodes that are explicitly defined in lvm.conf/--config
- CFG_DEF_TREE_MISSING that denotes a tree of all missing
configuration nodes for which default valus are used since they're
not explicitly used in lvm.conf/--config
- CFG_DEF_TREE_DEFAULT that denotes a tree of all possible
configuration nodes with default values assigned, no matter what
the actual lvm.conf/--config is
- CFG_DEF_TREE_NEW that denotes a tree of all new configuration nodes
that appeared in given version
- CFG_DEF_TREE_COMPLETE that denotes a tree of the whole configuration
tree that is used in LVM2 (a combination of CFG_DEF_TREE_CURRENT +
CFG_DEF_TREE_MISSING). This is not implemented yet, it will be added
later...
The function that creates the definition tree of given type:
struct dm_config_tree *config_def_create_tree(struct config_def_tree_spec *spec);
Where the "spec" specifies the tree type to be created:
struct config_def_tree_spec {
cfg_def_tree_t type; /* tree type */
uint16_t version; /* tree at this LVM2 version */
int ignoreadvanced; /* do not include advanced configs */
int ignoreunsupported; /* do not include unsupported configs */
};
This tree can be passed to already existing functions that write
the tree on output (like we already do with cmd->cft).
There is a new lvm.conf section called "config" with two new options:
- config/checks which enables/disables checking (enabled by default)
- config/abort_on_errors which enables/disables aborts on any type of
mismatch found in the config (disabled by default)
Add support for configuration checking - type checking and recognition
of registered configuration settings that LVM2 understands and also
check the structure of the configuration. Log error on any mismatch
found.
A hash over all allowed configuration paths is created which helps
with matching the exact configuration (lvm.conf/--config tree) with
the configuration item definition from config_settings.h in an
efficient and one-step way.
Two more helper flags are introduced for each configuration definition
item:
- CFG_USED which marks the item as being used (lvm.conf/--config)
This helps with identifying missing configuration options
(and for which defaults were used) when traversing the tree later.
- CFG_VALID which denotes that the item has already been checked and
it was found valid. This improves performance, so if the check
is called once again on the same tree which was not reloaded, we
can just return the state from previous check (with a possibility
to force the check if needed).
The new function that config.h exports and which is going to be used
to perform the configuration checking is:
int config_def_check(struct cmd_context *cmd, int force, int skip, int suppress_messages)
...which is exported internally via config.h.
For example, the old call and reference:
find_config_tree_str(cmd, "devices/dir", DEFAULT_DEV_DIR)
...now becomes:
find_config_tree_str(cmd, devices_dir_CFG)
So we're referring to the named configuration ID instead
of passing the configuration path and the default value
is taken from central config definition in config_settings.h
automatically.
This patch adds basic structures that encapsulate the config_settings.h
content - it takes each item and puts it in structures:
- cfg_def_type_t to define config item type
- cfg_def_value_t to define config item (default) value
- flags used to define the nature and use of the config item:
- CFG_NAME_VARIABLE for items with variable names (e.g. tags)
- CFG_ALLOW_EMPTY for items where empty value is allowed
- CFG_ADVANCED for items which are considered as "advanced settings"
- CFG_UNSUPPORTED for items which are not officially supported
(config options mostly for internal use and testing/debugging)
- cfg_def_item_t to encapsulate the whole definition of the config
definition itself
Each config item is referenced by named ID, e.g. "devices_dir_CFG"
instead of directly typing the path "devices/dir" as it was before.
This patch also adds cfg_def_get_path helper function to get the
config setting path up to the root for given config ID
(it returns the path in form of "abc/def/.../xyz" where the "abc"
is the topmost element).
Makes dumpconfig whole-section output wrong in a different way from before,
but we should be able to merge cft_cmdline properly into cmd->cft now and
remove cascade.
leaving behind the LVM-specific parts of the code (convenience wrappers that
handle `struct device` and `struct cmd_context`, basically). A number of
functions have been renamed (in addition to getting a dm_ prefix) -- namely,
all of the config interface now has a dm_config_ prefix.
To have better control were the config tree could be modified use more
const pointers and very carefully downcast them back to non-const
(for config tree merge).
If there is syntax error in metadata, it now prints messages
like:
Couldn't read 'start_extent' for segment 'extent_count'.
Couldn't read all logical volumes for volume group vg_test.
The segment specification is wrong and confusing.
Patch fixes it by introducing "parent" member in config_node which
points to parent section and config_parent_name function, which
provides pointer to node section name.
Also it adds several LV references where possible.
