Names matching internal code layout.
Functionc in thin_manip.c uses thin_pool in its name.
Keep 'pool' only for function working for both cache and thin pools.
No change of functionality.
When the volume size is extended, there is no need to flush
IO operations (nothing can be targeting new space yet).
VDO target is supported as target that can safely work with
this condition.
Such support is also needed, when extending VDOPOOL size
while the pool is reaching its capacity - since this allows
to continue working without reaching 'out-of-space' condition
due to flushing of all in flight IO.
dev_name(dev) returns "[unknown]" if there are no names
on dev->aliases. It's meant mainly for log messages.
Many places assume a valid path name is returned, and
use it directly. A caller that wants to use the path
from dev_name() must first check if the dev has any
paths with dm_list_empty(&dev->aliases).
Different target type for LV it's not an internal error.
i.e. when target type is replaced with 'error' type - it should be
reported as regular warning and not cause interruption of command with
internall error.
With very old version of DM target driver we have to avoid
trying to use newuuid setting - otherwise we get error
during ioctl preparation phase.
Patch is fixing regression from commit:
988ea0e94c
Since we check for present DM devices - cache result for
futher use of checking presence of such device.
lvm2 uses cache result for label scan, but also when
it tries to activate or deactivate LV - however only simple
target 'striped' is reasonably supported.
Use disable_dm_devs to be able to control when lv_info()
get cache or uncached results.
TODO: support more type, however this is getting very complicated.
New versions of kvdo module exposes statistics at new location:
/sys/block/dm-XXX/vdo/statistics/...
Enhance lvm2 to access this location first.
Also if the statistic info is missing - make it 'debug' level info,
so it is not failing 'lvs' command.
pvid and vgid are sometimes a null-terminated string, and
other times a 'struct id', and the two types were often
cast between each other. When a struct id was cast to a char
pointer, the resulting string would not necessarily be null
terminated. Casting a null-terminated string id to a
struct id is fine, but is still avoided when possible.
A struct id is: int8_t uuid[ID_LEN]
A string id is: char pvid[ID_LEN + 1]
A convention is introduced to help distinguish them:
- variables and struct fields named "pvid" or "vgid"
should be null-terminated strings.
- variables and struct fields named "pv_id" or "vg_id"
should be struct id's.
- examples:
char pvid[ID_LEN + 1];
char vgid[ID_LEN + 1];
struct id pv_id;
struct id vg_id;
Function names also attempt to follow this convention.
Avoid casting between the two types as much as possible,
with limited exceptions when known to be safe and clearly
commented.
Avoid using variations of strcpy and strcmp, and instead
use memcpy/memcmp with ID_LEN (with similar limited
exceptions possible.)
When check active componet of thinLV with external origin,
we need to check if the external origin isn't already active.
For this however we need to use layered check for -real device.
Devices made only from 'error' target cannot be used,
but if the device is also combined from 'zero' target
the same rule can be applied as such device cannot be used.
Just like with other segtype use this function to get whole
raid status info available per a single ioctl call.
Also it nicely simplifies read of percentage info about
in_sync portion of raid volume.
TODO: drop use of other calls then lv_raid_status call,
since all such calls could already use status - so it just
adds unnecessary duplication.
Reduce ioctl count and avoid separate info check,
when we can get the same info from status ioctl.
When devmanager calls return 0, then the exists value 0
means the reason of failure is missing device in table.
In such case we avoid stack trace.
Swap the flush parameter for the vdo status function
to match thin pool status.
When LV is deactivativate, we check for presence, and later
for some LV types also for being in use.
We can however do this check in 1 step for them a remove extra ioctl.
Add return value '2' to lv_check_not_in_use() to recognize LV is not
present.
Existing users were just testing for 0, so no change for them.
Make the generic "device is not usable" message from filter-usable
more specific in case the device is not usable because it's an LV.
(i.e. when scan_lvs=0)
Initial support for thin-pool used slightly smaller max size 15.81GiB
for thin-pool metadata. However the real limit later settled at 15.88GiB
(difference is ~64MiB - 16448 4K blocks).
lvm2 could not simply increase the size as it has been using hard cropping
of the loaded metadata device to avoid warnings printing warning of kernel
when the size was bigger (i.e. due to bigger extent_size).
This patch adds the new lvm.conf configurable setting:
allocation/thin_pool_crop_metadata
which defaults to 0 -> no crop of metadata beyond 15.81GiB.
Only user with these sizes of metadata will be affected.
Without cropping lvm2 now limits metadata allocation size to 15.88GiB.
Any space beyond is currently not used by thin-pool target.
Even if i.e. bigger LV is used for metadata via lvconvert,
or allocated bigger because of to large extent size.
With cropping enabled (=1) lvm2 preserves the old limitation
15.81GiB and should allow to work in the evironement with
older lvm2 tools (i.e. older distribution).
Thin-pool metadata with size bigger then 15.81G is now using CROP_METADATA
flag within lvm2 metadata, so older lvm2 recognizes an
incompatible thin-pool and cannot activate such pool!
Users should use uncropped version as it is not suffering
from various issues between thin_repair results and allocated
metadata LV as thin_repair limit is 15.88GiB
Users should use cropping only when really needed!
Patch also better handles resize of thin-pool metadata and prevents resize
beoyond usable size 15.88GiB. Resize beyond 15.81GiB automatically
switches pool to no-crop version. Even with existing bigger thin-pool
metadata command 'lvextend -l+1 vg/pool_tmeta' does the change.
Patch gives better controls 'coverted' metadata LV and
reports less confusing message during conversion.
Patch set also moves the code for updating min/max into pool_manip.c
for better sharing with cache_pool code.
When using cache with a cachevol, the cache_check tool was
not being run on the cache metadata during activation.
cache_check clears the needs_check flag in the cache
metadata, so if the flag was set due to an unclean
shutdown, the activation would fail.
Introduce structures lv_status_thin_pool and
lv_status_thin (pair to lv_status_cache, lv_status_vdo)
Convert lv_thin_percent() -> lv_thin_status()
and lv_thin_pool_percent() + lv_thin_pool_transaction_id() ->
lv_thin_pool_status().
This way a function user can see not only percentages, but also
other important status info about thin-pool.
TODO:
This patch tries to not change too many other things,
but pool_below_threshold() now uses new thin-pool info to return
failure if thin-pool cannot be actually modified.
This should be handle separately in a better way.
When thetable reload fails during suspend() - we were only calling
plain resume() - and this will reload only those devices,
which were left suspend, but will not try to restore
metadata state according to lvm2 reverted metadata.
So if we were reloading device tree - we have restored
only top-level LV and rest of reverted device manipulation
were left alone and possibly mismatched what is in committed
metadata.
FIXME: There are several cases were such revert will likely not work
properly anyway as some operation are currenly handled in single commit,
while they need multiple commits, but it's step towards better correctness.
At least we catch there errors now earlier.
This is probably somewhat experimantal patch - but when i.e. raid device
is just extend, there should not be a technical need for flush,
unless the target would stricly need it. It should allow faster
processing of lvm command not being blocked by possibly longer flush.
Since we do not support rimage & rmeta for snapshots - we can
avoid quering for -cow devices and add them as origin_only -
since their snapshots (-cow) could have never existed.
This redumes several ioctl operation during table preloading.
