Use of lv_info() internally in lv_check_not_in_use(),
so it always could use with_open_count properly.
Skip sysfs() testing in open_count == 0 case.
Accept just 'lv' pointer like other functions.
The function has 'built-in' lv_is_active_locally check,
which however is not what we need to check in many place.
For now at least remotely active snapshot merge is
detected and for this case merge on next activation is scheduled.
Try to enforce consistent macro usage along these lines:
lv_is_mirror - mirror that uses the original dm-raid1 implementation
(segment type "mirror")
lv_is_mirror_type - also includes internal mirror image and log LVs
lv_is_raid - raid volume that uses the new dm-raid implementation
(segment type "raid")
lv_is_raid_type - also includes internal raid image / log / metadata LVs
lv_is_mirrored - LV is mirrored using either kernel implementation
(excludes non-mirror modes like raid5 etc.)
lv_is_pvmove - internal pvmove volume
Use lv_is_* macros throughout the code base, introducing
lv_is_pvmove, lv_is_locked, lv_is_converting and lv_is_merging.
lv_is_mirror_type no longer includes pvmove.
2.02.106 added suffixes to some LV uuids in the kernel.
If any of these LVs is activated with 2.02.105 or earlier,
and then a later version is used, the LVs appear invisible and
activation commands fail.
The code now has to check the kernel for both old and new uuids.
Currently, we have two modes of activation, an unnamed nominal mode
(which I will refer to as "complete") and "partial" mode. The
"complete" mode requires that a volume group be 'complete' - that
is, no missing PVs. If there are any missing PVs, no affected LVs
are allowed to activate - even RAID LVs which might be able to
tolerate a failure. The "partial" mode allows anything to be
activated (or at least attempted). If a non-redundant LV is
missing a portion of its addressable space due to a device failure,
it will be replaced with an error target. RAID LVs will either
activate or fail to activate depending on how badly their
redundancy is compromised.
This patch adds a third option, "degraded" mode. This mode can
be selected via the '--activationmode {complete|degraded|partial}'
option to lvchange/vgchange. It can also be set in lvm.conf.
The "degraded" activation mode allows RAID LVs with a sufficient
level of redundancy to activate (e.g. a RAID5 LV with one device
failure, a RAID6 with two device failures, or RAID1 with n-1
failures). RAID LVs with too many device failures are not allowed
to activate - nor are any non-redundant LVs that may have been
affected. This patch also makes the "degraded" mode the default
activation mode.
The degraded activation mode does not yet work in a cluster. A
new cluster lock flag (LCK_DEGRADED_MODE) will need to be created
to make that work. Currently, there is limited space for this
extra flag and I am looking for possible solutions. One possible
solution is to usurp LCK_CONVERT, as it is not used. When the
locking_type is 3, the degraded mode flag simply gets dropped and
the old ("complete") behavior is exhibited.
Enable 'retry' deactivation also in 'cleanup' phase.
It shouldn't be mostly needed - however udev now produces
more and more completelny non-synchronizable device opens,
so even for orphan devices we can't easily predict where
udevd opens devices.
So it's more preferable here to log error about device being open
and retry clean, but let the command proceed.
Accidently it's been commited - but it has also shown,
that on heavy loaded systems (like our test machine could be)
slightly bigger timeouts which waits longer for udev rules
processing does help and avoids occasional refuse of deactivation
because device is still being open.
(i.e. lvcreate...; lvchange -an...)
Unsure how we could now synchronize for this. On very slow(/loaded)
system 5 second timeout is simply not enough.
TODO: introduce at least lvm.conf configurable setting to
allow longer 'retry' loops.
Reindent lv_check_not_in_use to simplify internal loop code.
Also return always '0/1' (drop -1) - since we only
check for failure (0) - and we don't really know
why lv_info() has failed.
Disable code which has postprocessed whole tree and reset udev flags.
We need to find out which case was troublesome - since this loop
was just hidding bug in other code parts (most probably preload tree)
In general for non-toplevel LVs we shouldn't allow any _tree_action.
For now error on request for cache_pool activation which
doesn't even exist in dm-table.
Drop unused passed cmd pointer from function.
TODO:
We have two similar functions (though not identical)
lv_manip.c: for_each_sub_lv()
metadata.c: _lv_each_dependency()
They seem to not always match - we should probably convert
to use only a single function.
This function is typically called for cmd context refresh or destroy.
On the non-clustered case we already unlocked all messages,
however when i.e. 'clvmd' gets break signal it may have
still couple messages queued.
For now just report an error.
Reorder detection for internal device - since this test
is much simpler then target analysis, check it sooner.
Replace test for '68' with sizeof & ID_LEN
Add FIXME about device alias problem with is_reserved_lvname,
since this test fails on devices like /dev/dm-X
so we need to convert tests to UUID.
Even though we make pool volume as a public visible LV,
we still do not want tools to look at this volume.
While we do not create /dev/vg/lv link, device is still
accessible via /dev/mapper/vg-lv and there is no easy
way to recognize it's private without lvm2 metadata.
Enhance UUID with -pool suffix and directly skip
any LV with a suffix in device_is_usable() call.
TODO: enhance other targets with this logic.
blkid may probably use same simple logic.
The empty pool is also the pool which has yet queued list of messages
and transaction_id == 1.
Problem is exposed when pool is created inactive.
lvcreate -L10 -T vg/pool -an
lvcreate -V10 -T vg/pool
Move flags for segments to segtype header where it seems more closely
related as the features are related to segtype and not activation.
Use unsigned #define - since it's more common in lvm2 source code
for bit flags.
Code uses target driver version for better estimation of
max size of COW device for snapshot.
The bug can be tested with this script:
VG=vg1
lvremove -f $VG/origin
set -e
lvcreate -L 2143289344b -n origin $VG
lvcreate -n snap -c 8k -L 2304M -s $VG/origin
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/$VG/snap bs=1M count=2044 oflag=direct
The bug happens when these two conditions are met
* origin size is divisible by (chunk_size/16) - so that the last
metadata area is filled completely
* the miscalculated snapshot metadata size is divisible by extent size -
so that there is no padding to extent boundary which would otherwise
save us

Test raid10 availability as a target feature (instead of doing
it in all the places where raid10 should be checked).
TODO: activation needs runtime validation - so metadata with raid10
are skipped from activation in user-friendly way in lvm2.
This patch allows users to create cache LVs with 'lvcreate'. An origin
or a cache pool LV must be created first. Then, while supplying the
origin or cache pool to the lvcreate command, the cache can be created.
Ex1:
Here the cache pool is created first, followed by the origin which will
be cached.
~> lvcreate --type cache_pool -L 500M -n cachepool vg /dev/small_n_fast
~> lvcreate --type cache -L 1G -n lv vg/cachepool /dev/large_n_slow
Ex2:
Here the origin is created first, followed by the cache pool - allowing
a cache LV to be created covering the origin.
~> lvcreate -L 1G -n lv vg /dev/large_n_slow
~> lvcreate --type cache -L 500M -n cachepool vg/lv /dev/small_n_fast
The code determines which type of LV was supplied (cache pool or origin)
by checking its type. It ensures the right argument was given by ensuring
that the origin is larger than the cache pool.
If the user wants to remove just the cache for an LV. They specify
the LV's associated cache pool when removing:
~> lvremove vg/cachepool
If the user wishes to remove the origin, but leave the cachepool to be
used for another LV, they specify the cache LV.
~> lvremove vg/lv
In order to remove it all, specify both LVs.
This patch also includes tests to create and remove cache pools and
cache LVs.
Building on the new DM function that parses DM cache status, we
introduce the following LVM level functions to aquire information
about cache devices:
- lv_cache_block_info: retrieves information on the cache's block/chunk usage
- lv_cache_policy_info: retrieves information on the cache's policy
When thin volume is using external origin, current thin target
is not able to supply 'extended' size with empty pages.
lvm2 detects version and disables extension of LV past the external
origin size in this case.
Thin LV could be however still reduced and extended freely bellow
this size.
This reverts commit 24639be558.
Ok - seems we could be here a bit too active - and we
may remove devices which are unsuable for reasons we are not
aware of - thus taking down whole device could be way to big hammer.
So we still need some solution to recover from failing preload
and activation - but it needs more tunning.
When activation fails - we may leak large tree of partially loaded
devices in the dm table (i.e. failure in snapshot activation)
The best we can do here is try to deactivate whole device and
remove as much inactive table entries as we can.
Collapse 2 ifs and replace log_error() with log_warn(), since\
the reported message is not causing tools error.
(and cannot be probably triggered anyway).
Drop find_merging_snapshot() function. Use find_snapshot()
called after check for lv_is_merging_origin() which
is the commonly used code path - so we avoid duplicated
tests and potential risk of derefering NULL point
in unhandled error path.
If the volume_list filters out volume from activation,
it is still success result for this function.
Change the error message back to verbose level.
Detect if the volume is active localy before zeroing,
so we report error a bit later for cases, where volume
could not be activated because it doesn't pass through volume
list (but user still could create volume when he disables
zeroing)
There is a problem with the way mirrors have been designed to handle
failures that is resulting in stuck LVM processes and hung I/O. When
mirrors encounter a write failure, they block I/O and notify userspace
to reconfigure the mirror to remove failed devices. This process is
open to a couple races:
1) Any LVM process other than the one that is meant to deal with the
mirror failure can attempt to read the mirror, fail, and block other
LVM commands (including the repair command) from proceeding due to
holding a lock on the volume group.
2) If there are multiple mirrors that suffer a failure in the same
volume group, a repair can block while attempting to read the LVM
label from one mirror while trying to repair the other.
Mitigation of these races has been attempted by disallowing label reading
of mirrors that are either suspended or are indicated as blocking by
the kernel. While this has closed the window of opportunity for hitting
the above problems considerably, it hasn't closed it completely. This is
because it is still possible to start an LVM command, read the status of
the mirror as healthy, and then perform the read for the label at the
moment after a the failure is discovered by the kernel.
I can see two solutions to this problem:
1) Allow users to configure whether mirrors can be candidates for LVM
labels (i.e. whether PVs can be created on mirror LVs). If the user
chooses to allow label scanning of mirror LVs, it will be at the expense
of a possible hang in I/O or LVM processes.
2) Instrument a way to allow asynchronous label reading - allowing
blocked label reads to be ignored while continuing to process the LVM
command. This would action would allow LVM commands to continue even
though they would have otherwise blocked trying to read a mirror. They
can then release their lock and allow a repair command to commence. In
the event of #2 above, the repair command already in progress can continue
and repair the failed mirror.
This patch brings solution #1. If solution #2 is developed later on, the
configuration option created in #1 can be negated - allowing mirrors to
be scanned for labels by default once again.
Add LV_TEMPORARY flag for LVs with limited existence during command
execution. Such LVs are temporary in way that they need to be activated,
some action done and then removed immediately. Such LVs are just like
any normal LV - the only difference is that they are removed during
LVM command execution. This is also the case for LVs representing
future pool metadata spare LVs which we need to initialize by using
the usual LV before they are declared as pool metadata spare.
We can optimize some other parts like udev to do a better job if
it knows that the LV is temporary and any processing on it is just
useless.
This flag is orthogonal to LV_NOSCAN flag introduced recently
as LV_NOSCAN flag is primarily used to mark an LV for the scanning
to be avoided before the zeroing of the device happens. The LV_TEMPORARY
flag makes a difference between a full-fledged LV visible in the system
and the LV just used as a temporary overlay for some action that needs to
be done on underlying PVs.
For example: lvcreate --thinpool POOL --zero n -L 1G vg
- first, the usual LV is created to do a clean up for pool metadata
spare. The LV is activated, zeroed, deactivated.
- between "activated" and "zeroed" stage, the LV_NOSCAN flag is used
to avoid any scanning in udev
- betwen "zeroed" and "deactivated" stage, we need to avoid the WATCH
udev rule, but since the LV is just a usual LV, we can't make a
difference. The LV_TEMPORARY internal LV flag helps here. If we
create the LV with this flag, the DM_UDEV_DISABLE_DISK_RULES
and DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES flag are set (just like as it is
with "invisible" and non-top-level LVs) - udev is directed to
skip WATCH rule use.
- if the LV_TEMPORARY flag was not used, there would normally be
a WATCH event generated once the LV is closed after "zeroed"
stage. This will make problems with immediated deactivation that
follows.
This patch reinstates the lv_info call to check for open count of
the LV we're removing/deactivating - this was changed with commit 125712b
some time ago and we relied on the ioctl retry logic deeper in the libdm
while calling the exact 'remove' ioctl.
However, there are still some situations in which it's still required to
check for open count before we do any 'remove' actions - this mainly
applies to LVs which consist of several sub LVs, like it is for
virtual snapshot devices.
The commit 1146691 fixed the issue with ordering of actions during
virtual snapshot removal while the snapshot is still open. But
the check for the open status of the snapshot is still prone to
marking the snapshot as in use with an immediate exit even though
this could be a temporary asynchronous open only, most notably
because of udev and its WATCH udev rule with accompanying scans
for the event which is asynchronous. The situation where this crops
up most often is when we're closing the LV that was open for read-write
and then calling lvremove immediately.
This patch reinstates the original lv_info call for the open status
of the LV in the lv_check_not_in_use fn that gets called before
we do any LV removal/deactivation. In addition to original logic,
this patch adds its own retry loop with a delay (25x0.2 seconds)
besides the existing ioctl retry loop.
Component LVs of a thinpool can be RAID LVs. Users who attempt a
scrubbing operation directly on a thinpool will be prompted to
specify the sub-LV they wish the operation to be performed on. If
neither of the sub-LVs are RAID, then a message telling them that
the operation can only be performed on a RAID LV will be given.
Since the virtual snapshot has no reason to stay alive once we
detach related snapshot - deactivate whole thing in front of
snapshot removal - otherwice the code would get tricky for
support in cluster.
The correct full solution would require to have transactions
for libdm operations.
Also enable to the check for snapshot being opened prior
the origin deactivation, otherwise we could easily end
with the origin being deactivate, but snapshot still kept
active, desynchronizing locking state in cluster.
A common scenario is during new LV creation when we need to wipe the
newly created LV and avoid any udev scanning before this stage otherwise
it could cause the device (the LV) to be claimed by some other subsystem
for which there were stale metadata within LV data.
This patch adds possibility to mark the LV we're just about to wipe with
a flag that gets passed to udev via DM_COOKIE as a subsystem specific
flag - DM_SUBSYSTEM_UDEV_FLAG0 (in this case the subsystem is "LVM")
so LVM udev rules will take care of handling that.
Some code has been added recently which makes it impossible to compile
when "configure --disable-devmapper" is used. This patch just shuffles
the code around so it's under proper #ifdef DEVMAPPER_SUPPORT.
When NULL info struct is passed in - function is usable
as a quick query for lv_is_active_locally() - with a bonus
we may query for layered device.
So it could be seen as a more efficient lv_is_active_locally().
Properly skip unmonitoring of thin pool volume in deactivation code
path. Code makes sure if there is just any thin pool user
it stays monitored with all its resources.
Commit b248ba0a39 attempted to
prevent mirror devices which had a failed device in their
mirrored log from being usable/readable by LVM. This was to
protect against circular dependancies where one LVM command
could be blocked trying to read one of these affected mirrors
while the LVM command to fix/unblock that mirror was stuck
behind the currently running command.
The above commit went wrong when it used 'device_is_usable()' to
recurse on the mirrored log device to check if it was suspended
or blocked. The 'device_is_usable' function also contains a check
for reserved names - like *_mlog, etc. This last check always
triggered when checking a mirror's log simply because of the name,
not because it was suspended or blocked - a false positive.
The solution is to create a new function like 'device_is_usable',
but without the check for reserved names. Using this new function
(device_is_suspended_or_blocked), we can check the status of a
mirror's log device properly.
The status printed for dm-raid targets on older kernels does not include
the syncaction field. This is handled by dev_manager_raid_status() just
fine by populating the raid status structure with NULL for that field.
However, lv_raid_sync_action() does not properly handle that field being
NULL. So, check for it and return 0 if it is NULL.
When tree for thin LVs was using external_lv, there has been
far less optimal solution, that has tried to add certain
existing dependencie only when new node was added.
However this has lead to way to complex tree construction since
many repeated checks have been made during such tree build.
This patch move this detection to the proper _partial_tree generation
code and uses for it new 'activation' flag, which is set when
tree for ACTIVATION or PRELOAD is generated.
It increases performance when thins with external origins are used.
(in release update)
Created dlid for test is not needed afterward, so lower a memory
usage of this call is repeatedly used for building some large tree.
TODO: create function to use given buffer on stack as much cheaper.
Code needs to check if the layer origin device is suspended,
It's valid to create thinvolume snapshot of thinvolume which is also
used as an old-style snapshot. In this case we need to check -real
is suspended.
When adding origin_only - add only layer thin volume.
(in case it's also old-snapshot add only -real device)
Revert commit 37ffe6a. If static variables are to be used then we
will put them elsewhere and limit the optimization to reporting
code, rather that have it be used in the general case.
Previously, we have relied on UUIDs alone, and on lvmcache to make getting a
"new copy" of VG metadata fast. If the code which triggers the activation has
the correct VG metadata at hand (the version which is currently on disk), it can
now hand it to the activation code directly.
There are places where 'lv_is_active' was being used where it was
more correct to use 'lv_is_active_locally'. For example, when checking
for the existance of a kernel instance before asking for its status.
Most of the time these would work correctly. (RAID is only allowed on
non-clustered VGs at the moment, which means that 'lv_is_active' and
'lv_is_active_locally' would give the same result.) However, it is
more correct to use the proper variant and it helps with future
scenarios where targets might be allowed exclusively (or clustered) in
a cluster VG.
Setting the cmd->default_settings.udev_fallback also requires DM
driver version check. However, this caused useless mapper/control
access with ioctl if not needed actually. For example if we're not
using activation code, we don't need to know the udev_fallback as
there's no node and symlink processing.
For example, this premature mapper/control access caused problems
when using lvm2app even when no activation happens - there are
situations in which we don't need to use mapper/control, but still
need some of the lvm2app functionality. This is also the case for
lvm2-activation systemd generator which just needs to look at the
lvm2 configuration, but it shouldn't touch mapper/control.
