Rather than attempting to remove all the images of a mirrored
log volume via remove_mirror_images, simply remove the log
if all its devices have failed.
Taka was the first to report that there is still an outstanding
issue with handling this case. I've managed to reproduce it
only very rarely, and am still working on identifying the problem.
Failing to handle the problem rarely is better than not handling
the scenario at all, so I'm checking this in.
Allow metadataignore flag to be passed in to pvcreate.
Ideally, more refactoring of the mda allocation / initialization
is warranted, but for now, we just add another parameter to 'add_mda'
to take an existing mda ignored flag. We need to do this or pv_write
loses the state of the mda 'ignored' flag before copying and writing
to disk.
In preparation to call this from both pvcreate as well as pvchange,
move the guts of metadataignore into a library function.

Allowing an 'all' and 'unmanaged' value is more intuitive, and
provides a simple way for users to get back to original LVM behavior
of metadata written to all PVs in the volume group.
If the user requests "--vgmetadatacopies unmanaged", this instructs
LVM not to manage the ignore bits to achieve a specific number of
metadata copies in the volume group. The user is free to use
"pvchange --metadataignore" to control the mdas on a per-PV basis.
If the user requests "--vgmetadatacopies all", this instructs LVM
to do 2 things: 1) clear all ignore bits, and 2) set the "unmanaged"
policy going forward.
Internally, we use the special MAX_UINT32 value to indicate 'all'.
This 'just' works since it's the largest value possible for the
field and so all 'ignore' bits on all mdas in the VG will get
cleared inside _vg_metadata_balance(). However, after we've
called the _vg_metadata_balance function, we check for the special
'all' value, and if set, we write the "unmanaged" value into the
metadata. As such, the 'all' value is never written to disk.

Now that we have both --pvmetadatacopies and --vgmetadatacopies,
we need to make sure --metadatacopies gets interpreted correctly.
For pv commands, --metadatacopies should imply --pvmetadatacopies,
and for vg commands, --vgmetadatacopies.
Note: this will change the behavior of vgcreate with --metadatacopies
to be a synonym for --vgmetadatacopies. Previously, --metadatacopies
would apply to any PVs given with vgcreate that needed an implicit
pvcreate. As a result, one small change is needed to one of the nightly
tests - t-vgcreate-usage.

When vgmerge is called we move the mdas from the source to the
destination. With metadata balancing we now have another mda
list, fid->metadata_areas_ignored, so move the mdas on this list
as well.
This patch should not matter as the code is written today. However
we include it for completeness in the case that _vgmerge_single()
is refactored and/or moved into a library function.

the failure of a device that contained both a image of

Activate only the first replicator-dev LV, that activates all other
related LVs from Replicator. In case of error during this activation,
it will not retry again for other heads (less confusing error log).
As for _process_one_vg() we need similar retry loop for
process_each_lv_in_vg(). This patch retries to process
failed LVs with reopened VGs.
Patch does not add any extra repeated invocations if there is not
found any missing VG during LV processing.
Patch modifes behavior of _process_one_vg().
In the first pass vg_read() collectis for replicator sorted list of
additional VGs during lock_vol().
If any other VG is needed by the replicator and it is not yet opened
then next iteration loop is taken with all collected VGs.
Flag vg->cmd_missing_vgs detects missing VGs.
Patch adds failed_lvnames to the list of parameters for process_each_lv_in_vg().
If the list is not NULL it will be filled with LV names of failing LVs
during function execution.
Application could later reiterate only on failed LVs.
Earlier patches added some infrastructure to lookup a vgname from
a pvname. We now can cleanup some of the pvchange and other code
by requiring callers that want to modify some pv property:
1) lookup the vgname by the pvname
2) use the vgname to obtain a vg handle
3) get the pv handle from the vg handle
This should work going forward and be a much cleaner interface,
as we move away from pvs as standalone objects.
A shortcut for --ignorelockingfailure, --ignoremonitoring, --poll n options
and LVM_SUPPRESS_LOCKING_FAILURE_MESSAGES environment variable used all at
once in initialisation scripts (e.g. rc.sysinit or initrd).
We can use it even in read-only environment where a try to initialise
file-based locking fails (not to mention other processing related with
lvm2 init). Simply, we want to output the version only, nothing else.
And this should always work.
This rule appeared in udev v152 and it helps us to support spurious events
where we didn't have any flags set (events originated in udevadm trigger
or the watch rule). These flags are important to direct the rule application.
Now, with the help of this rule, we can regenerate old udev db content.
To implement this correctly, we need to flag all proper DM udev events with
DM_UDEV_PRIMARY_SOURCE_FLAG. That happens automatically for all ioctls
generating events originated in libdevmapper.
Allow lv_remove_with_dependencies() to know the top-level LV that was
requested to be removed (otherwise it recurses and we lose context).
A merging snapshot cannot be removed directly but the associated origin
can be. Disallow removal of a merging snapshot unless the associated
origin is also being removed.
(process_each_lv_in_vg) provides it.
Also, removing this check from _lvs_single now allows displaying hidden
LVs that are specifically named on the command line.
There's no need for foreign udev rules to touch LVM reserved devices
(snapshot, pvmove, _mlog, _mimage, _vorigin) even if they happen to
be visible. The same applies for /dev/disk content - no need to create
any content for these devices (and so no need to run any "blkid" etc.).
This also prevents setting any inotify "watch" from udev rules on such
devices that is a source of race conditions (the rules need to honor
DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES_FLAG for this to work though).
Now that we have library functions to add/delete a pv from the vg->pvs
list, call them from everywhere.

This prevents some confusion when libudev was not found so udev_sync was disabled

Prevent lvresize from being able to resize internal LVs: mirror legs

sometimes crashes (in case of growing snapshot*).
When we pv_read() a device that has an orphan vgname, we might need to scan
the system to be sure this is true. However, if the PV has mdas, there's
no way possible for it to have an orphan vgname unless it is a true orphan.
Some areas of the code were optimized to take advantage of this fact, while
others were not (we would still do the expensive scan if a device had mdas
but had an orphan VG).
This patch unifies the code so that every place we are operating on such
a PV, we skip the expensive scan if there are mdas.

This patch adds a new implementation of locking function instead
of mlockall() that may lock way too much memory (>100MB).
New function instead uses mlock() system call and selectively locks
memory areas from /proc/self/maps trying to avoid locking areas
unused during lock-ed state.
Patch also adds struct cmd_context to all memlock() calls to have
access to configuration.
For backward compatibility functionality of mlockall()
is preserved with "activation/use_mlockall" flag.
As a simple check, locking and unlocking counts the amount of memory
and compares whether values are matching.
For static builds dependency for SELinux libs is not handled by 'ar'.
Till better solution is found, for static builds STATIC_LIBS is used.

version of libdevmapper we are going to link with lvm after merge.
SELinux header check moved to the SELinux test code.

Check for libpthread only for builds with clvmd or dmeventd.

Modify linking of readline library. Create new substituted varible
READLINE_LIBS - readline library is linked ONLY with tools that really use
it - i.e. lvm. (Static lvm does not use readlin).
Previous behaviour put this library into the variable LIBS and thus
linked it with all created object files of lvm project (i.e. plugins...).
READLINE detection is simplified.
Termcap library is linked in only if readline library doesn't have its own

Add a merging snapshot to the deptree, using the "error" target, rather
than avoid adding it entirely. This allows proper cleanup of the -cow
device without having to rename the -cow to use the origin's name as a
prefix.
Move the preloading of the origin LV, after a merge, from
lv_remove_single() to vg_remove_snapshot(). Having vg_remove_snapshot()
preload the origin allows the -cow device to be released so that it can
be removed via deactivate_lv(). lv_remove_single()'s deactivate_lv()
reliably removes the -cow device because the associated snapshot LV,
that is to be removed when a snapshot-merge completes, is always added
to the deptree (and kernel -- via "error" target).
Now when the snapshot LV is removed both the -cow and -real devices
get removed using uuid rather than device name. This paves the way
for us to switch over to info-by-uuid queries.

Switch lvconvert's --merge code over to using process_each_lv(). Doing
so adds support for a single 'lvconvert --merge' to start merging
multiple LVs (which includes @tag expansion).
Add 'lvconvert --merge @tag' testing to test/t-snapshot-merge.sh
Adjust man/lvconvert.8.in to reflect these expanded capabilities.
The lvconvert.c implementation requires rereading the VG each iteration
of process_each_lv(). Otherwise a stale VG instance associated with
the LV passed to lvconvert_single_merge() would result in stale VG
metadata being written back out to disk. This overwrote new metadata
that was written when a previous snapshot LV finished merging (via
lvconvert_poll). This is only an issue when merging multiple LVs that
share the same VG (a single VG is typical for most LVM configurations on
system disks).
In the end this new support is very useful for performing a "system
rollback" that requires multiple snapshot LVs be merged to their
respective origin LV.
The yum-utils 'fs-snapshot' plugin tags all snapshot LVs that it creates
with a common 'snapshot_tag' that is unique to the yum transaction.
Rolling back a yum transaction, that created LVM snapshots with the tag
'yum_20100129133223', is as simple as:

depending on if the mirror has a 'core' or 'disk' log. When there
is a disk log, the new leg is added by stacking a new mirror on
top of the old (one leg is the old mirror and the other leg is the newly
added device). When the log is a 'core' log, the new leg is simply added
to the existing mirror and all the devices are re-synced.
The logic that handles collapsing the stacked 'disk' log mirror was
having the effect of causing 'core' logged mirrors to begin resync'ing
for a second time. I have used the 'CONVERTING' flag to indicate that
a mirror is converting by way of stacking. This is no longer set for
up-converting core logs. The final 'collapse' logic can safely be skipped
for 'core' log mirrors - getting rid of the second resync.

where we should not expose internal VG names/uuids (the ones with "#" prefix )through the
interface. Otherwise, we could end up with library users opening internal VGs which will
initiate locking mechanism that won't be cleaned up properly.
"#orphans_{lvm1, lvm2, pool}" names are treated in a special way, they are truncated first
to "orphans" and this is used as a part of the lock name then (e.g. while calling lvm_vg_open()).
When library user calls lvm_vg_close(), the original name "orphans_{lvm1, lvm2, pool}"
is used directly and therefore no unlock occurs.
We should exclude internal VG names and uuids in the lists provided by lvmcache:

When activation of pvmove mirror fails on cluster, some nodes

If a "snapshot-origin" LV (snapshot-merge whose merge was deferred
becuase it was open) was passed to _percent_run() it would always return
100%.
Update _percent_run() to NOT return PERCENT_100 et. al. if

Sometimes it is really needed to switch off udev checking and the warnings we show when
we detect that udev has not done its job right - the messages like "Udev should have done
this and that. Falling back to direct node creation/removal. " etc.
This would be especially handy while setting DM_DEV_DIR env var that could be set to a
different location than standard /dev (udev can't create nodes/symlinks out of that one
directory that is configured into udevd). The exact same situation happens while we're
running our tests.
It is pretty much the same as reducing the number of
mirror legs, but we just don't delete them afterwards.
The following command line interface is enforced:
prompt> lvconvert --splitmirror <n> -n <name> <VG>/<LV>
where 'n' is the number of images to split off, and
where 'name' is the name of the newly split off logical volume.
If more than one leg is split off, a new mirror will be the
result. The newly split off mirror will have a 'core' log.
Example:
[root@bp-01 LVM2]# !lvs
lvs -a -o name,copy_percent,devices
LV Copy% Devices
lv 100.00 lv_mimage_0(0),lv_mimage_1(0),lv_mimage_2(0),lv_mimage_3(0)

[lv_mimage_2] /dev/sdd1(0)
[lv_mimage_3] /dev/sde1(0)
[lv_mlog] /dev/sdi1(0)
[root@bp-01 LVM2]# lvconvert --splitmirrors 2 --name split vg/lv /dev/sd[ce]1

The default log option for a mirror is 'disk'. If the log
type is not explicitly stated on the command line when
converting from an X-way mirror to a Y-way mirror, 'disk'
is chosen. So, if you have a 'core' log mirror and you
convert, your result will contain a 'disk' log.
This patch remembers what the old log type was. If the
user is merely trying to switch the number of mirror
images, the log type is now kept the same.
There is one historical behaviour I left in place...
If you have a 2-way, core-log mirror and you use lvconvert to
specify you want a 2-way mirror - without specifying the
log type - you will get a 2-way, disk-log mirror.

The logic was that lvconvert repair volumes, marking
PV as MISSING and following vgreduce --removemissing
removes these missing devices.
Previously dmeventd mirror DSO removed all LV and PV
from VG by simply relying on
vgreduce --removemissing --force.
Now, there are two subsequent calls:
lvconvert --repair --use-policies
vgreduce --removemissing
So the VG is locked twice, opening space for all races
between other running lvm processes. If the PV reappears
with old metadata on it (so the winner performs autorepair,
if locking VG for update) the situation is even worse.
Patch simply adds removemissing PV functionality into
lvconcert BUT ONLY if running with --repair and --use-policies
and removing only these empty missing PVs which are
involved in repair.
(This combination is expected to run only from dmeventd.)
the background polldaemon is allowed to start. It can be used

Control over when the background polldaemon starts will be particularly

The lvm2-monitor initscript will start polling with: --poll y
NOTE: Because we currently have no way of knowing if a background
polldaemon is active for a given LV the following limitations exist and
have been deemed acceptable:
1) it is not possible to stop an active polldaemon; so the lvm2-monitor
initscript doesn't stop running polldaemon(s)
2) redundant polldaemon instances will be started for all specified LVs
if vgchange or lvchange are repeatedly used with '--poll y'

If the vg_read() returned error, no lock was taken,
so always call vg_release().
Otherwise this can happen because of missing FAILED_*:
# vgchange -a y x --ignorelockingfailure
Volume group "x" not found
Internal error: Attempt to unlock unlocked VG x
(on one node a storage connection failed):
# vgchange -a y vg_bar ; echo $?
Error locking on node bar-02: Refusing activation of partial LV lv1. Use --partial to override.
1 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg_bar" now active
0
So activation fails on one node, error is correctly printed but
status code is wrong.
This patch fixes the top level (vgchange) to return proper code
(and print # of activated LVs).
(lvchange returns error properly here.)
All hidden (not visible) volumes should be activated through
other visible volumes.
(There are already exceptions like snapshot, mirror log and image,
which should be cleaned one day...)
This solves problems for future types of hidden volumes,
which can have special meaning and must not be activated implicitly
(e.g. key store volume).
This provides better support for environments where udev rules are installed
but udev_sync is not compiled in (however, using udev_sync is highly
recommended). It also provides consistent and expected functionality even
when '--noudevsync' option is used.
There is still requirement for kernel >= 2.6.31 for the flags to work though
(it uses DM cookies to pass the flags into the kernel and set them in udev
event environment that we can read in udev rules).
- fix missing unlocking of VG
lvcreate -l 100%PVS -n lv1 vg_test
Please specify physical volume(s) with %PVS
Internal error: Volume Group vg_test was not unlocked
- if no PVS specified, use all available
Fix segfault if %PVS in lvresize without PVs list.
Rename fill_default_pvcreate_params to pvcreate_params_set_defaults.
Rename pvcreate_validate_restore_params to pvcreate_restore_params_validate.
Rename pvcreate_validate_params to pvcreate_params_validate.
Similar to other vg_set_* functions, we create a vg_set_clustered() function
which does a few checks and sets a flag. This is where we check for
any limitations of clusters.
Option --all is only partially documented currently, so document in all
commands. Also make {pv|vg|lv}{display|s} man pages consistent with help
output. Remove ununsed 'disk_ARG' parameter. Leave --trustcache out of
the man page output. Update --units argument to show all possible units.
- we have these levels when the udev rules are processed:
10-dm.rules --> [11-dm-<subsystem>.rules] --> [12-dm-permissions.rules] -->
13-dm-disk.rules --> [...all the other foreign rules...] --> 95-dm-notify.rules
- each level can be disabled now by
DM_UDEV_DISABLE_{DM, SUBSYSTEM, DISK, OTHER}_RULES_FLAG
- add DM_UDEV_DISABLE_DM_RULES_FLAG to disable 10-dm.rules
- add DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES_FLAG to disable all the other (non-dm) rules.
We cutoff these rules by using the 'last_rule', so this one should really be
used with great care and in well-founded situations. We use this for lvm's
hidden and layer devices now.
- add a parameter for add_dev_node, rm_dev_node and rename_dev_node so it's
possible to switch on/off udev checks
- use DM_UDEV_DISABLE_DM_RULES_FLAG and DM_UDEV_DISABLE_SUBSYSTEM_RULES_FLAG
if there's no cookie set and we have resume, remove and rename ioctl.
This could happen when someone uses the libdevmapper that is compiled with
udev_sync but the software does not make use of it. This way we can switch
off the rules and fallback to libdevmapper node creation so there's no
udev/libdevmapper race.
Going forward, we would like to allow users to specify the total
number of metadatacopies in a VG rather than on a per-PV basis. In
order to facilitate that, introduce --pvmetadatacopes to replace
--metadatacopies everywhere. We still allow --metadatacopies for
pv commands, but require --pvmetadatacopies for vg commands.
Eventually we will introduce --vgmetadatacopies. Once we do that,
we should either deprecate --metadatacopies or make it a synonym based
on the command (pvmetadatacopies for pv commands, and vgmetadatacopies
for vg commands). The latter option would likely just require a simple
'strncpy' check against cmd->command->name to qualify the merge_synonym
call.
Update nightly tests to cover the pvmetadatacopies synonym.
Note that this patch is the result of an eariler review comment for
the implicit pvcreate patches. Should apply cleanly on top of the
implicit pvcreate patches (I applied after patch 10/10 in that series).
NOTE: This patch will require --pvmetadatacopies for vgconvert as
--metadatacopies is no longer accepted.
Adds implicit pvcreate support when calling vgcreate or vgextend with
device paths that are not yet PVs. This changes the behavior of vgcreate
and vgextend from failing with an error message to implicitly pvcreating.
Split pvcreate_validate_params into recovery and non-recovery parameters.
This is necessary so we can call the non-recovery validate function from
vgextend / vgcreate. Note in the pvcreate tool case, we must call the
recovery validation function first (see treatment of pe_start and --zero),
and that we add a call to fill_default_pvcreate_params before the validation
functions.
Another refactoring for implicit pvcreate support. We need to get
the pvcreate parameters somehow to the vg_extend routine. Options
seemed to be:
1. Attach the parameters to struct volume_group. I personally
did not like this idea in most cases, though one could make an
agrument why it might be ok at least for some of the parameters
(e.g. metadatacopies).
2. Pass them in to the extend routine. This second route seemed
to be the best approach given the constraints.
Future patches will parse the command line and fill in the actual
values for the pvcreate_single call.
Should be no functional change.
