New udev in rawhide seems to be 'dropping' udev rule operations for devices
that are no longer existing - while this is 'probably' a bug - it's
revealing moments in lvm2 that likely should not run in a single
transaction and we should wait for a cookie before submitting more work.
TODO: it seem more 'error' paths should always include synchronization
before starting deactivating 'just activated' devices.
We should probably figure out some 'automatic' solution for this instead
of placing sync_local_dev_name() all over the place...
Support internal removal of 'cache origin' volume - which we
do not normally expose to a user - however internal processing
loops may hit this condition (depending on order of list LVs).
So when this operation is internally requested - we automatically
try to remove it's 'holding' LV (cache LV) - which will also
remove the origin.
wipe_lv knows it's going to write the device, so it
can open rw from the start. It was opening readonly,
and then dev_write needed to reopen it readwrite.
When data are growing, adapt also size of metadata.
As we get way too many reports from users doing huge growths of
data portion while keep metadata small and avoiding using monitoring.
So to enhance the user-experience in case user requests grown of
thin-pool (without passing PV list for growth) - lvm2 will automaticaly
grown also the metadata part of thin-pool (if possible).
When lvextend extends an LV that is active with a shared
lock, use this as a signal that other hosts may also have
the LV active, with gfs2 mounted, and should have the LV
refreshed to reflect the new size. Use the libdlmcontrol
run api, which uses dlm_controld/corosync to run an
lvchange --refresh command on other cluster nodes.
Allow using caching with VDO.
User can either cache a single vdopool or
a vdo LV - difference when the caching is put-in depends on a use-case
and it's upto user to decide which kind of speed is expected.
and "cachepool" to refer to a cache on a cache pool object.
The problem was that the --cachepool option was being used
to refer to both a cache pool object, and to a standard LV
used for caching. This could be somewhat confusing, and it
made it less clear when each kind would be used. By
separating them, it's clear when a cachepool or a cachevol
should be used.
Previously:
- lvm would use the cache pool approach when the user passed
a cache-pool LV to the --cachepool option.
- lvm would use the cache vol approach when the user passed
a standard LV in the --cachepool option.
Now:
- lvm will always use the cache pool approach when the user
uses the --cachepool option.
- lvm will always use the cache vol approach when the user
uses the --cachevol option.
Fixing recent commit 022ebb0cfe
Resize already has size that needs to be counted with,
otherwise upsizing operation could turn into size reduction one.
Now with newer VDO kvdo target we can start to use standard mechanism
to enable resize of VDO volumes.
VDO pool can be grown.
Virtual volume grows on top of VDO pool when is not big enough.
Reduced VDOLV is calling discard for reduced areas - this can
take long time!
TODO: implement some pollable mechanism for out-of-lock TRIM.
When using 'lvcreate -l100%VG' and there is big disproportion between
real available space and requested setting - automatically fallback
to 100%FREE.
Difference can be seen when VG is big and already most space was
allocated, so the requestion 100%VG can end (and by spec for % modifier
it's correct) as LV with size of 1%VG. Usually this is not a big
problem - buit in some cases - like cache-pool allocation, this
can result a big difference for chunksize selection.
With this patch it's more closely match common-sense logic without
the need of reitteration of too big changes in lvm2 core ATM.
TODO: in the future there should be allocator solving all allocations
in a single call.
Scenario: Given an existed LV `lvol0`, I want to create another LV
on the PVs used by `lvol0`.
I use `build_parallel_areas_from_lv()` to obtain the `pv_list` of each segments.
However, the returned `pv_list` is not properly initialized, which causes
segfault in subsequent operations.
There's a small window during creation of a new RaidLV when
rmeta SubLVs are made visible to wipe them in order to prevent
erroneous discovery of stale RAID metadata. In case a crash
prevents the SubLVs from being committed hidden after such
wiping, the RaidLV can still be activated with the SubLVs visible.
During deactivation though, a deadlock occurs because the visible
SubLVs are deactivated before the RaidLV.
The patch adds _check_raid_sublvs to the raid validation in merge.c,
an activation check to activate.c (paranoid, because the merge.c check
will prevent activation in case of visible SubLVs) and shares the
existing wiping function _clear_lvs in raid_manip.c moved to lv_manip.c
and renamed to activate_and_wipe_lvlist to remove code duplication.
Whilst on it, introduce activate_and_wipe_lv to share with
(lvconvert|lvchange).c.

If a single, standard LV is specified as the cache, use
it directly instead of converting it into a cache-pool
object with two separate LVs (for data and metadata).
With a single LV as the cache, lvm will use blocks at the
beginning for metadata, and the rest for data. Separate
dm linear devices are set up to point at the metadata and
data areas of the LV. These dm devs are given to the
dm-cache target to use.
The single LV cache cannot be resized without recreating it.
If the --poolmetadata option is used to specify an LV for
metadata, then a cache pool will be created (with separate
LVs for data and metadata.)

TODO: apply similar for thin-pool & cache-pool...
When allocating thin-pool with more then 1 device - try to
allocate 'metadataLV' with reuse of log-type allocation for mirror LV.
It should be naturally place on other device then 'dataLV'.
However due to somewhat hard to follow allocation logic code,
it's been rejected allocation in cases where there was not
enough space for data or metadata on single PV, thus to successed,
usage of segments was mandatory.
While user may use:
allocation/thin_pool_metadata_require_separate_pvs=1
to enforce separe meta and data LV - on default settings, this is not
enable thus segment allocation is meant to work.
NOTE:
As already said - the original intention of this whole 'if()' is unclear,
so try to split this test into multiple more simple tests that are more readable.
TODO: more validation.
Allow creation of any virtual segment type with just --virtualsize
specified without any real extent size give.
TODO: likely --type error,zero might be later enhanced to use -V
(along with -L) - but since those targets do not allocate real
space, supporting -V makes sense with them.
Different flavors of activate_lv() and lv_is_active()
which are meaningful in a clustered VG can be eliminated
and replaced with whatever that flavor already falls back
to in a local VG.
e.g. lv_is_active_exclusive_locally() is distinct from
lv_is_active() in a clustered VG, but in a local VG they
are equivalent. So, all instances of the variant are
replaced with the basic local equivalent.
For local VGs, the same behavior remains as before.
For shared VGs, lvmlockd was written with the explicit
requirement of local behavior from these functions
(lvmlockd requires locking_type 1), so the behavior
in shared VGs also remains the same.
In this command, lvcreate creates a new LV and then combines
it with an existing cache pool, producing a cache LV. This
command was previously not allowed in in a shared VG.
As we start refactoring the code to break dependencies (see doc/refactoring.txt),
I want us to use full paths in the includes (eg, #include "base/data-struct/list.h").
This makes it more obvious when we're breaking abstraction boundaries, eg, including a file in
metadata/ from base/
There are likely more bits of code that can be removed,
e.g. lvm1/pool-specific bits of code that were identified
using FMT flags.
The vgconvert command can likely be reduced further.
The lvm1-specific config settings should probably have
some other fields set for proper deprecation.
When adjusting region size for clustered VG it always needs to fit
2 full bitset into 1MB due to old limits of CPG.
This is relatively big amount of bits, but we have still limitation
for region size to fit into 32bits (0x8000000).
So for too big mirrors this operation needs to fail - so whenever
function returns now 0, it means we can't find matching region_size.
Since return 0 is now 'error' we need to also pass proper region_size
when creating pvmove mirror.
Drop mirrored mirror log limitation that applies only in very limited
use-case and actually mirrored mirror log is deprecated anyway.
So 'disk' mirror log is selecting the correct minimal size, and
bigger size is only enforced with real mirrored mirror log.
Also for mirrored mirror log we let use 'smalled' region size if needed
so if user uses 1G region size, we still keep small mirror log
with much smaller region size in this case when needed.
Also mirror log extent calculation is now properly detecting error
with too big mirrors where previosly trimmed uint32_t was applies
unintentionally.
In case a newly created RaidLV is blacklisted using config
\"activation { volume list = [ ... ] }\" (i.e. its SubLVs stay inactive),
the metadata SubLVs can't get wiped thus failing the creation.
As a result, the RaidLV together with its SubLVs
is left behind in an inconsistent state.
Fix by removing the RaidLV and provide a hint about volume_list reasoning.
Resolves: rhbz1161347
Just like with lvcreate, this lvconvert case also need to properly
check which LV actually holds lock for cached origin - as it might
be i.e. thin-pool tdata subLV.
If componet devices could be activated alone, ensure they are not breaking
common commands.
TODO: mostly likely this is not a definite list of all needed checks
and more will come later.
This is the 'last' place where a LV is present in metadata.
Any removed device should not be left active in dm table.
So this check is an extra validation protection to capture any
forgotten deactivation (adding 1 extra ioctl into lvremove path)
Instead of checking with existing size of external origin LV,
use correctly the new 'wanted' size of this LV whether it fits
the limitiation requirements for older thin-pool target.
Otherwise code started to the the resize, updates metadata and
just fails during 'resize' in case the LV was active. For
inactive LV operation could have actually passed.
Checking here for cache_pool is not necessary and in effect
the check is not even right - since there are internal
states that do allow to active such LV.
Fix missing 'externalLV' traversing for thins with external origins.
Replace extra for_each_sub_lv_except_pools() with better
internal logic allowing selectively to cut of processed subLV tree.
Extend error code for function 'fn()' when it returns -1 it will
stop futher tree scan for given LV.
Also a bit simplify code to have only one place that
is calling 'fn()' and use level counter to know
depth of traversing.
Update renaming travering to skip trees for pools
and external origins.
Introduce enum dev_io_reason to categorise block device I/O
in debug messages so it's obvious what it is for.
DEV_IO_SIGNATURES /* Scanning device signatures */
DEV_IO_LABEL /* LVM PV disk label */
DEV_IO_MDA_HEADER /* Text format metadata area header */
DEV_IO_MDA_CONTENT /* Text format metadata area content */
DEV_IO_FMT1 /* Original LVM1 metadata format */
DEV_IO_POOL /* Pool metadata format */
DEV_IO_LV /* Content written to an LV */
DEV_IO_LOG /* Logging messages */
If the recovery of the repleced leg(s) of a RaidLV created without
initial resynchronization (i.e. "lvcreate --nosync ...") got
interrupted, it can't be extended because of the < 100% sync rate.
When pvmove is finished and metadata are updated, the code missed
to merge possible mergable segments - so add explicit merging
call after pvmoved volumes are unlocked.
This avoids weird results where i.e. lvs could have been reporting
non-matching segments as lvs upon metadata read is doing silent segment
merging while dm table left after pvmove was still preserving
non-merged segments.
If the suspend/resume sequence would leave some device in suspend
for possible later resume, backup cannot be takes (fs holding backups
could be still frozen in critical section())
Since vg_validate() now rejects LVs without segments and
insert_layer_for_segments_on_pv() gets just created
'layer_lv' without segment, it needs to be hidden
from vg->lvs during processing of _align_segment_boundary_to_pe_range()
as this function calls lv_validate() and now requires
vg to be consistent. LV is then put back into vg->lvs.
Since both lvcreate and lvconvert needs to check for same
type of allowed origin for snapshot - move the code into
a single function.
This way we also fix several inconsitencies where snapshot
has been allowed by mistake either through lvcreate or
lvconvert path.
Do not allow to take snapshot of mirror/raid leg or log or metadata LV.
This was actually never supported, but user was able to create it,
and this put device stack in hardly fixable state (needs manual work).
This prevents such creation to pass.
Also improve validation when recreating snapshot volume type
from origin and COW volume.
Fixes the following case with 3PVs and 3 legs "mirror" LV:
# lvcreate -l100%FREE --type mirror -m2 vg3
Insufficient free space for log allocation for logical volume .
Unable to allocate extents for mirror log.

If the activation step in lvcreate fails (e.g. the specified
minor number is already used), then the lvcreate is reverted,
but the LV lock in lvmlockd was not being unlocked or properly
freed.
When lock-holding LV differs from actually request locked LV,
we drop origin_only flag as it has no use - it'd be applied
on completely different LV.
Example of problem:
Raid is thin-pool _tdata LV.
Raid run origin_only locking on stacked device.
As lock holder is discovered thinLV.
Whole origin_only operation is then applied only on thinLV
changing the meaning of whole operation.
NOTE: this patch does not change anything for LV that are
already top-level lock holding LVs (i.e. thinLVs, snahoshots/origins).
Starting with dm-raid target version 1.9.0 shrinking of mapped devices is supported.
Check for support being present in lvresize and lvreduce.

As now we can properly recognize all paramerters for pool creation,
we may drop PASS_ARG_ defines and rely on '_UNSELECTED' or 0 entries
as being those without user given args.
When setting are not given on command line - 'update' function
fill them from profiles or configuration. For this 'profile' arg
was needed to be passed around and since 'VG' itself is not needed,
it's been all replaced with 'cmd, profile, extents_size' args.
Since cache chunk might be huge and there is no technical need
to enforce rounding and there is actually more 'real' VG space
used then necessary - keep rounding on 'chunk' bounrary only
for thin volumes - where it's the space used anyway.
NB: we support conversion of any-size 'existing' LV into cached LV.
Fix missing reset of '*settings' pointer when no args were given.
Handle cache_chunk settings like all other settings, so it is properly
updated only with non-zero settings and the existing cache-pool
chunk_size is not being reconfigured.
To more easily recognize unselected state from select '0' state
add new 'THIN_ZERO_UNSELECTED' enum.
Same applies to THIN_DISCARDS_UNSELECTED.
For those we no longer need to use PASS_ARG_ZERO or PASS_ARG_DISCARDS.
seg->extents_copied has to be defined properly on reducing
the size of a raid LV or conversion from raid5 with 1 stripe

In order to support striped raid5/6/10 LV reshaping (change
of LV type, stripesize or number of legs), this patch
introduces infrastructure prerequisites to be used
by raid_manip.c extensions in followup patches.
This base is needed for allocation of out-of-place
reshape space required by the MD raid personalities to
avoid writing over data in-place when reading off the
current RAID layout or number of legs and writing out
the new layout or to a different number of legs
(i.e. restripe)
Changes:
- add members reshape_len to 'struct lv_segment' to store
out-of-place reshape length per component rimage
- add member data_copies to struct lv_segment
to support more than 2 raid10 data copies
- make alloc_lv_segment() aware of both reshape_len and data_copies
- adjust all alloc_lv_segment() callers to the new API
- add functions to retrieve the current data offset (needed for
out-of-place reshaping space allocation) and the devices count
from the kernel
- make libdm deptree code aware of reshape_len
- add LV flags for disk add/remove reshaping
- support import/export of the new 'struct lv_segment' members
- enhance lv_extend/_lv_reduce to cope with reshape_len
- add seg_is_*/segtype_is_* macros related to reshaping
- add target version check for reshaping
- grow rebuilds/writemostly bitmaps to 246 bit to support kernel maximal
- enhance libdm deptree code to support data_offset (out-of-place reshaping)
and delta_disk (legs add/remove reshaping) target arguments

Previously when lvremove tried to remove 'active' origin,
it had been asking for every 'snapshot' LV separately
and doing individual single snapshot removals first.
To be faster it now deactivates origin before removal
all connected snapshots.
This avoids multiple reloads of dm table for origin volume
which were unnecessary as origin was meant to be removed as well.
. Define a prototype for every lvm command.
. Match every user command with one definition.
. Generate help text and man pages from them.
The new file command-lines.in defines a prototype for every
unique lvm command. A unique lvm command is a unique
combination of: command name + required option args +
required positional args. Each of these prototypes also
includes the optional option args and optional positional
args that the command will accept, a description, and a
unique string ID for the definition. Any valid command
will match one of the prototypes.
Here's an example of the lvresize command definitions from
command-lines.in, there are three unique lvresize commands:
lvresize --size SizeMB LV
OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force,
--nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync, --reportformat String, --resizefs,
--stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB, --poolmetadatasize SizeMB
OP: PV ...
ID: lvresize_by_size
DESC: Resize an LV by a specified size.
lvresize LV PV ...
OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force,
--nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync,
--reportformat String, --resizefs, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB
ID: lvresize_by_pv
DESC: Resize an LV by specified PV extents.
FLAGS: SECONDARY_SYNTAX
lvresize --poolmetadatasize SizeMB LV_thinpool
OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force,
--nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync,
--reportformat String, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB
OP: PV ...
ID: lvresize_pool_metadata_by_size
DESC: Resize a pool metadata SubLV by a specified size.
The three commands have separate definitions because they have
different required parameters. Required parameters are specified
on the first line of the definition. Optional options are
listed after OO, and optional positional args are listed after OP.
This data is used to generate corresponding command definition
structures for lvm in command-lines.h. usage/help output is also
auto generated, so it is always in sync with the definitions.
Every user-entered command is compared against the set of
command structures, and matched with one. An error is
reported if an entered command does not have the required
parameters for any definition. The closest match is printed
as a suggestion, and running lvresize --help will display
the usage for each possible lvresize command.
The prototype syntax used for help/man output includes
required --option and positional args on the first line,
and optional --option and positional args enclosed in [ ]
on subsequent lines.
command_name <required_opt_args> <required_pos_args>
[ <optional_opt_args> ]
[ <optional_pos_args> ]
Command definitions that are not to be advertised/suggested
have the flag SECONDARY_SYNTAX. These commands will not be
printed in the normal help output.
Man page prototypes are also generated from the same original
command definitions, and are always in sync with the code
and help text.
Very early in command execution, a matching command definition
is found. lvm then knows the operation being done, and that
the provided args conform to the definition. This will allow
lots of ad hoc checking/validation to be removed throughout
the code.
Each command definition can also be routed to a specific
function to implement it. The function is associated with
an enum value for the command definition (generated from
the ID string.) These per-command-definition implementation
functions have not yet been created, so all commands
currently fall back to the existing per-command-name
implementation functions.
Using per-command-definition functions will allow lots of
code to be removed which tries to figure out what the
command is meant to do. This is currently based on ad hoc
and complicated option analysis. When using the new
functions, what the command is doing is already known
from the associated command definition.

With recent commit d6a74025df using
INTERNAL_ERROR while cheking layer LV - it's been noticed mirror
logic currently doesn't do a correct thing during upconversion and
does a full-try instead of checking only allocator capabilities.
This leads to invalid usage of layer.
To keep existing code running before providing a fix, relax
INTERNAL_ERROR just an error and keep the 'code' running.
Once mirror code is fixed, these all check should be switched
to internal errors.
Show proper internal error for failing command when there are some
inconsitencies in sizes of LV and its layer instead of rather
meaningless error code 5.
(Could be hit i.e. if user tried to 'resize' cached LV and then
uncache such LV.)
During rework of resize code this validation check
has been lost (in my resize branch). Upstream
is still not supporting resize of any cache type LV
so needs to be prevented.
Add to commits 87117c2b25 and 0b8bf73a63 to avoid refreshing two
times altogether, thus avoiding issues related to clustered, remotely
activated RaidLV. Avoid need to repeat "lvchange --refresh RaidLV"
two times as a workaround to refresh a RaidLV. Fix handles removal

External origin could be activated as stand-alone device.
When the last thin LV is removed, external origin is no longer
the external origin and it's layer property was dropped.
Ensure dm table is correct by reloading external origin
(when it's active).
In case any SubLV of a RaidLV transiently fails, it needs
two "lvchange --refresh RaidLV" runs to get it to fully
operational mode again. Reason being, that lvm reloads all
targets for the RaidLV tree but doesn't resume the SubLVs
until after the whole tree has been reloaded in the first
refresh run. Thus the live mapping table of the SubLVs
still point to an "error" mapping and the dm-raid target
can't retrieve any superblock from the MetaLV(s) in processing
the constructor during this preload thus not discovering the
again accessible SubLVs. In the second run, the SubLV targets
map proper (meta)data, hence the constructor discovers those
fine now.
Solve by resuming the SubLVs of the RaidLV before
preloading the respective top-level RaidLV target.

enabled autoresize, manual 'lvextend --poolmetadatasize' is needed).
The existing code doesn't understand that mirror logs should cling to
parallel LVs (like extending them) instead of avoiding them.
As a quick workaround to avoid lvcreate failures, hard-code
--alloc normal for mirror logs even if the rest of the allocation
used a stricter policy.

General RAID and RAID segment type specific checks are added
to merge.c. New static _check_raid_seg() is called on each segment
of a RaidLV (which have just one) from check_lv_segments().
New checks caught some unititialized segment members
which are addressed here as well:
- initialize seg->region_size to 0 in lvcreate.c for raid0/raid0_meta
- initialize list seg->origin_list in lv_manip.c
When volume was lvconvert-ed to a thin-volume with external origin,
then in case thin-pool was in non-zeroing mode
it's been printing WARNING about not zeroing thin volume - but
this is wanted and expected - so nothing to warn about.
So in this particular use case WARNING needs to be suppressed.
Adding parameter support for lvcreate_params.
So now lvconvert creates 'normal thin LV' in read-only mode
(so any read will 'return 0' for a moment)
then deactivate regular thin LV and reacreate in 'final R/RW' mode
thin LV with external origin and activate again.
