Add support for the kernel precise_timestamps feature. This allows
regions to be created using counters with nanosecond precision.
A new dm_stats method, dm_stats_set_precise_timestamps() causes all
future regions created with this handle to attempt to enable precise
counters.
The unlock call will fail in expected and normal cases,
and should not cause the command to fail. (An actual
unlock in the lock manager should never fail.)
The timerfd guarantees that it will return 8 bytes when a read(2)
is issued (a uint64_t giving the number of timer events during the
call). Check that it does so and log a non-fatal error if the byte
count is not 8.
Commit f10ad95 introduced a regression causing the size of regions
passed in on the command line to be truncated to zero. Initialise
the 'this_len' variable to the supplied length to correct this.
Commit f10ad95 introduced a regression in the calculation of the
number of areas in a region created with the --areasize switch:
vg_hex-lv_home: Created new region with 0 area(s) as region ID 1
vg_hex-lv_swap: Created new region with 0 area(s) as region ID 1
Fis this by using the correct region size when calculating the
value.
When dmstats is run with -v or higher enable a per-area reporting
mode for statistics regions. This will output one row per area
(rather than one row per region) and adds additional fields of use
when viewing areas:
area_id - index within the region assigned by libdm-stats
area_start - the start location of the area in the containing
device.
Add a '--raw' switch to stats reports that causes us to report the
basic counter values rather than derived metrics for each visible
statistics region.
Add prefixes to all dmsetup report types to allow the 'group_all'
option to be effective:
DR_NAME name_
DR_INFO info_
DR_DEPS deps_
DR_TREE tree_
DR_NAME splitname_
When run with full verbosity dmsetup or dmstats reports will
output a figure that tracks a moving average over a window of the
last two intervals:
Interval #3 time delta: 999991087ns
Interval #3 mean duration: 999907064ns, current err: -8913ns
End interval #3 duration: 999991087ns
Adjusted sample interval duration: 999991087ns
Due to the narrow window this is a very crude estimate and is only
of use to someone debugging or modifying the stats clock: remove
the value and the global variables used to track it.
Anyone with a particular use for this information can construct a
better mean by calculating the value of a greater number of
intervals.
Unlike 'info -c' and 'stats report' the 'dmstats list' subcommand
does its own report processing. This complicates the handling of
the DR_STATS and DR_STATS_META fields and leads to inconsistent
behaviour between the different commands. In particular it causes
'stats list' to segfault when using 'all' field options:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Delete _stats_list() entirely and adapt _stats_report so that it
can correctly format a DR_STATS_META-only report request.
This requires passing the subcommand into _report_init() where it
is used in addition to the command name to select the default set
of report fields for the 'list' and 'report' stats subcommands.
With this change both 'list' and 'report' dmstats report will use
the correct report object type and ensure that it is initialised
appropriately for the field selection in use.
Although statistics and meta fields (region and area properties) share
the same object type the state of the handle they expect differs: meta
only expects a dm_stats_list() operation to have been performed whereas
statistics require a fully populated handle.
Distinguish between these requirements by separating the fields into
two distinct report types:
DR_STATS = 32,
DR_STATS_META = 64
The new category is described as "Mapped Device Statistics Region
Information" in the help text.
Make the use of the this_start and this_len variables easier to
follow and clarify the use of zero start and len arguments to
request a whole-device region.
Add a pair of fields to expose the current per-interval duation
estimate. The 'interval' field provides a real value in units of
seconds and the 'interval_ns' field provides the same quantity
expressed as a whole number of nanoseconds.
Introduce enums and global variables to record cleanly which command we
are processing and eliminate the historically inconsistent use of the
shifted argv[0] and fix assorted bugs discovered along the way.
Add dm_report_is_empty() to indicate there is no data awaiting output
and use this to suppress dmsetup report headings when no data is output
so we don't get a stray line saying 'Help' at the end of reporting help.
Define a report type (as the interface requires) so -o all selects
the right fields in splitname. (A fix for stats list will follow.)
Exit immediately if no device is supplied to dmsetup wipe_table instead
of hitting errors later and failing.
Adjust the command name printed in usage/help output to match command
invoked (most of the time).
The '--force' switch is only used by dmstats to allow either
creation or deletion of one or more regions on all devices.
These operations do not carry any risk: just a possible mess of
region IDs to be cleaned up.
Remove the use of '--force' for stats commands and change current
uses to a new '--alldevices' switch.
The region creation message just outputs the new region_id, e.g.:
Created region: 0
This is fine when the device is unambigous (as above) but produces
unhelpful output when creating multiple regions, or regions on
multiple devices:
Created region: 0
Created region: 0
Created region: 1
Created region: 2
Created region: 0
To address this refactor _stats_create_segments() (previously only
used when creating one-region-per-target for --segments) into a
more general _do_stats_create_regions() that can create regions
for each segment, or a single region spanning either the entire
device or a specied start/len range.
This allows us to output all region creation messages from a
single point where both the device name and all information needed
to derive the number of areas is available.
This allows us to log all these facts in the resulting messages:
vg_hex-lv_home: Created new region with 13 area(s) as region ID 0
vg_hex-lv_home: Created new region with 4 area(s) as region ID 1
vg_hex-lv_home: Created new region with 1 area(s) as region ID 2
vg_hex-lv_swap: Created new region with 1 area(s) as region ID 0
vg_hex-lv_root: Created new region with 10 area(s) as region ID 0
luks-79733921-3f68-4c92-9eb7-d0aca4c6ba3e: Created new region with 17 area(s) as region ID 0
vg_hex-lv_images: Created new region with 20 area(s) as region ID 0
vg_hex-lv_images: Created new region with 4 area(s) as region ID 1
Don't use cryptic abbreviations and make sure that all values can
be understood by someone not familiar with the clock internals.
Include the current interval number (inverse of the _count) in all
interval update messages and attempt to align interval timestamp
logs for interval counts < 99,999.
If _stats_report fails (e.g. due to an invalid device on the
command line) destroy the _report to prevent stats columns headings
from being displayed.
This also requires a change in main to test the return from
_perform_command_for_all_repeatable_args inside the interval loop
and exit immediately in case of error.
The _update_interval_times() function is called once per reported
object: when shutting down at the end of a run only the first call
should free timestamps. Clear the timestamp pointers after free
and use this to signal to other callers that the clock is already
shut down.
If the Linux timerfd interface to POSIX timers is available at compile
time use it for all report interval timekeeping. This gives more
accurate interval timing when the per-interval processing time is less
than the configured interval and simplifies the timestamp bookkeeping
required to keep accurate time.
For systems without timerfd support fall back to the simple usleep based
timer.
Change logic and naming of some internal API functions.
cache_set_mode() and cache_set_policy() both take segment.
cache mode is now correctly 'masked-in'.
If the passed segment is 'cache' segment - it will automatically
try to find 'defaults' according to profiles if the are NOT
specified on command line or they are NOT already set for cache-pool.
These defaults are never set for cache-pool.
Add new profilable configurables:
allocation/cache_policy
allocation/cache_settings
and mark allocation/cache_pool_chunk_size as profilable as well.
Obsolete allocation/cache_pool_cachemode and
introduce new allocation/cache_mode instead.
Rename DEFAULT_CACHE_POOL_POLICY to DEFAULT_CACHE_POLICY.
Request a transient LV lock from lvmlockd when
converting an LV. If the LV is inactive when
lvconvert is run, the LV lock will be acquired
and then released when the command is done.
If the LV is active, a persistent lock exists
already and the transient lock request does nothing.
This fixes the issue that had been mentioned in the
comment previously.
The error path of _stats_list frees the task and stats objects:
don't try to branch to it before they have been allocated.
tools/dmsetup.c: 4589 in _stats_help() - Null pointer dereferences (FORWARD_NULL)
There's no point testing _report here in _stats_report: it's always
initialised before the function is called and if the check did fail
we'd end up freeing an uninitialized dm_task in the error path.
tools/dmsetup.c: 4389 in _stats_report() - Declaring variable "dmt" without initializer.
Add the libdm-stats module to libdm: this implements a simple interface
for creating, managing and interrogating I/O statistics regions and
areas on device-mapper devices.
The library interface is documented in libdevmapper.h and provides a
'dm_stats' handle that is used to perform statistics operations and
obtain data.
Public methods are provided to create and destroy handles and to list,
create, and destroy statistics regions as well as to obtain and parse
counter data and calculate rate-based metrics.
This commit also adds a 'dmsetup stats' (aka 'dmstats') command with
'clear', 'create', 'delete', 'list', 'print', and 'report' sub-commands.
See the library documentation and the dmstats.8 manual page for detailed
API and command descriptions.
Don't do interval management and external timekeeping for stats in
dm_report: let applications handle this on their own.
Since this has not been included in a release remove it from the
library entirely and handle report timing directly inside dmsetup.
Add a function to print column headings regardless of whether they
have already been output. This will be used by dmstats to issue
periodic reminders of the column headings.
This patch removes a check for RH_HEADINGS_PRINTED from
_report_headings that prevents headings being displayed if the flag
is already set; this check is redundant since the only existing
caller (_output_as_columns()) already tests the flag before
calling the function.
tools/polldaemon.c:465: uninit_use_in_call: Using uninitialized value "id.vg_name" when calling "print_log".

No commands set has_subcommands yet.
Move multiple device loop to separate function because we'll
soon want to call it repeatedly.
(Based on patch from bmr.)
When a command is flagged with NO_METADATA_PROCESSING flag, it means
such command does not process any metadata and hence it doens't require
lvmetad, lvmpolld and it can get away with no locking too. These are
mostly simple commands (like lvmconfig/dumpconfig, version, types,
segtypes and other builtin commands that do not process metadata
in any way).
At first, when lvm command is executed, create toolcontext without
initializing connections (lvmetad,lvmpolld) and without initializing
filters (which depend on connections init). Instead, delay this
initialization until we know we need this. That is, until the
lvm_run_command fn is called in which we know what the actual
command to run is and hence we can avoid any connection, filter
or locking initiliazation for commands that would not make use
of it anyway.
For all the other create_toolcontext calls, we keep the original
behaviour - the filters and connections are initialized together
with the toolcontext.
Make it possible to decide whether we want to initialize connections and
filters together with toolcontext creation.
Add "filters" and "connections" fields to struct
cmd_context_initialized_parts and set these in cmd_context.initialized
instance accordingly.
(For now, all create_toolcontext calls do initialize connections and
filters, we'll change that in subsequent patch appropriately.)
Add struct cmd_context_initialized_parts to wrap up information
about which cmd context pieces are initialized and add variable
of this struct type into struct cmd_context.
Also, move existing "config_initialized" variable that was directly
part of cmd_context into the new cmd_context.initialized wrapper.
We'll be adding more items into the struct cmd_context_initialized_parts
with subsequent patches...
Stop removing hyphens when = is seen. With an option

. the poll check will eventually call finish which will
write the VG, so an ex VG lock is needed from lvmlockd.
. fix missing unlock on poll error path
. remove the lockd locking while monitoring the progress
of the command, as suggested by the earlier FIXME comment,
as it's not needed.
Recent change to move the polling outside of core lvconvert
code was wrongly using 'lv' and 'vg' structs which can't be
used outside of the core code, which caused seg fault.
Properly isolate all use of lv structs within the core of
the lvconvert code, saving any information necessary,
(esp lvid). After the core of lvconvert is done, use
the saved information to do polling.
FIXME: the need for is_merging_origin and is_merging_origin_thin
in this patch is ugly, and a cleaner way should be found to deal
with that than what is done here.
Also it effectively removed all hacks in _lvconvert_merge_single
performing ugly: VG reread, unlock, polling, lock sequence.
Moreover all polling operations are postponed after all conversions
are finished.
lvm2 (while locking via lvmlockd) should now be able to run with
or without lvmpolld while performing poll operations originating
in lvconvert command.

The vgchange/lvchange activation commands read the VG, and
don't write it, so they acquire a shared VG lock from lvmlockd.
When other commands fail to acquire a shared VG lock from
lvmlockd, a warning is printed and they continue without it.
(Without it, the VG metadata they display from lvmetad may
not be up to date.)
vgchange/lvchange -a shouldn't continue without the shared
lock for a couple reasons:
. Usually they will just continue on and fail to acquire the
LV locks for activation, so continuing is pointless.
. More importantly, without the sh VG lock, the VG metadata
used by the command may be stale, and the LV locks shown
in the VG metadata may no longer be current. In the
case of sanlock, this would result in odd, unpredictable
errors when lvmlockd doesn't find the expected lock on
disk. In the case of dlm, the invalid LV lock could be
granted for the non-existing LV.
The solution is to not continue after the shared lock fails,
in the same way that a command fails if an exclusive lock fails.
When lvm is built without lvmlockd support, vgcreate using a
shared lock type would succeed and create a local VG (the
--shared option was effectively ignored). Make it fail.
Fix the same issue when using vgchange to change a VG to a
shared lock type.
Make the error messages consistent.
Keep policy name separate from policy settings and avoid
to mangling and demangling this string from same config tree.
Ensure policy_name is always defined.
Both lock_start filters were being skipped when any lock-opt
values were used. The "auto" lock-opt should cause the
auto_lock_start_list to be used. The lock_start_list should
always be used.
The behavior of lock_start_list/auto_lock_start_list are tested
and verified to behave like volume_list/auto_activation_volume_list.
Since the default was changed to wait for lock-start to finish,
the "wait" and "autowait" lock-opt values are not needed, but a
new "autonowait" is added to the existing "nowait" avoid the
default waiting.
There are two different failure conditions detected in
access_vg_lock_type() that should have different error
messages. This adds another failure flag so the two
cases can be distinguished to avoid printing a misleading
error message.
Require global/{thin,cache}_{check,repair}_options to be always defined.
If not defined directly by user in the configuration and if there's no
concrete default option to use, make "" (empty string) the default one -
it's then clearly visible in the "lvmconfig --type default" (and
generated lvm.conf) and also it makes its handling in the code more
straightforward so we don't need to handle undefined values.
This means, if there are no default values for these settings defined,
we end up with this generated now:
{thin,cache}_{check,repair}_options = [ "" ]
So the value is never undefined and if it is, it's an error.
(The cache_repair_options is actually not used in the code at the moment,
but once the code using this setting is in, it will follow the same logic
as used for thin_repair_options.)
The "exported" state of the VG can be useful with lockd VGs
because the exported state keeps a VG from being used in general.
It's a way to keep a VG protected and out of the way.
Also fix the command flags: ALL_VGS_IS_DEFAULT is not true for
vgimport/vgexport, since they both return errors immediately if
no VG args are specified. LOCKD_VG_SH is not true for vgexport
beause it must use an ex lock to write the VG.
When --nolocking is used (by vgs, lvs, pvs):
. don't use lvmlockd at all (set use_lvmlockd to 0)
. allow lockd VGs to be read
When --readonly is used (by vgs, lvs, pvs, vgdisplay, lvdisplay,
pvdisplay, lvmdiskscan, lvscan, pvscan, vgcfgbackup):
. skip actual lvmlockd locking calls
. allow lockd VGs to be read
. check that only shared gl/vg locks are being requested
(even though the actually locking is being skipped)
. check that no LV locks are requested, because no LVs
should be activated or used in readonly mode
. disable using lvmetad so VGs are read from disk
It is important to note the limited commands that accept
the --nolocking and --readonly options, i.e. no commands
that change/write a VG or change/activate LVs accept these
options, only commands that read VGs.
A new lockd lock needs to be created for the new LV
created by split mirror and split snapshot. Disallow
these options in lockd VGs until that is implemented.
This prevents 'lvremove vgname' from attempting to remove the
hidden sanlock LV. Only vgremove should remove the hidden
sanlock LV holding the sanlock locks.
tools/polldaemon.c:457: array_null: Comparing an array to null is not useful: "lv->lvid.s"
The lv->lvid.s is never NULL. The check was supposed to be *lv->lvid.s
to check if the string is not empty.
... Using uninitialized value "lockd_state" when calling "lockd_vg"
(even though lockd_vg assigns 0 to the lockd_state, but it looks at
previous state of lockd_state just before that so we need to have
that properly initialized!)
libdm/libdm-report.c:2934: uninit_use_in_call: Using uninitialized value "tm". Field "tm.tm_gmtoff" is uninitialized when calling "_get_final_time".
daemons/lvmlockd/lvmlockctl.c:273: uninit_use_in_call: Using uninitialized element of array "r_name" when calling "format_info_r_action". (just added FIXME as this looks unfinished?)
The lvmconfig --type full is actually a combination of --type current
and --type missing together with --mergedconfig options used.
The overall outcome is a configuration tree with settings as LVM sees
it when it looks for the values - that means, if the setting is defined
in some config source (lvm.conf, --config, lvmlocal.conf or any profile
that is used), the setting is used. Otherwise, if the setting is not
defined in any part of the config cascade, the defaults are used.
The --type full displays exactly this final tree with all the values
defined, either coming from configuration tree or from defaults.
We shouldn't be adding spaces by default in output as that
may be be used already in scripts and especially for the eval
in shell scripts where spaces are not allowed between key
and value!
Add --withspaces option to lvmconfig for pretty output with
more space in for readability.
Just as 'e' means activation with an exclusive lock,
add an 's' to mean activation with a shared lock.
This allows the existing but implicit behavior of '-ay'
of clvm LVs to be specified explicitly. For local VGs,
asy simply means ay, just like aey means ay.
For local VGs, ay == aey == asy
For clvm VGs, ay == asy, aey == aey, asy == asy
The hyphens are removed from long option names before
being read. This means that:
- Option name specifications in args.h must not include hyphens.
(The hyphen in 'use-policies' is removed.)
- A user can include hyphens anywhere in the option name.

There's a race when asking lvmpolld about progress_status and
actually reading the progress info from kernel:
Even with lvmpolld being used we read status info from
LVM2 command issued by a user (client side from lvmpolld perspective).
The whole cycle may look like following:
1) set up an operation that requires polling (i.e. pvmove /dev/sda)
2) notify lvmpolld about such operation (lvmpolld_poll_init())
3) in case 1) was not called with --background it would continue with:
4) Ask lvmpolld about progress status. it may respond with one of:
a) in_progress
b) not_found
c) finished
d) any low level error
5) provided the answer was 4a) try to read progress info from polling LV
(i.e. vg00/pvmove1). Repeat steps 4) and 5) until the answer is != 4a).
And now we got into racy configuration: lvmpolld answered with in_progress
but it may be the that in_between 4) and 5) the operation has already
finished and polling LV is already gone or there's nothing to ask for.
Up to now, 5) would report warning and it could print such warning many
times if --interval was set to 0.
We don't want to scary users by warnings in such situation so let's just
print these messages in verbose mode. Error messages due to error while
reading kernel status info (on existing, active and locked LV) remained
the same.
currently in wait_for_single_lv() fn trying to poll missing pvmove LV
is considered success. It may have been already finished by another
instance of polldaemon. either by another forked off polldaemon
or by lvmpolld.
Let's try to handle the mirror conversion and snapshot merge the same
way.
These wrappers have been replaced by direct calls
to vg_read() and find_lv() in previous commits.
This commit should have no functional impact since
all bits were already unreachable.
let's call dev_close_all() only before we're about to 'sleep'
for at least one second during the polling.
(it's questionable whether to call dev_close_all() at all in
polldaemon code. Natural extension would be to drop it completely)
More exact clean of library exported symbols files.
Also use $(firstword) test to check for empty string
so 'make clean' has now cleaner condensed look.
Clean also created include links.
we don't want to fail properly set pvmove after metadata
update. failure to copy id components could end with dangling
mirror moving PV segments but no monitoring from lvmpolld or
classical polldaemon.
lvpoll now process passed LV name properly. It respects
LVM_VG_NAME env. variable and is able to process LV name
passed in various formats:
- VG/LV
- LV name only (with LVM_VG_NAME set)
- /dev/mapper/VG-LV
- /dev/VG/LV
In process_each_{vg,lv,pv} when no vgname args are given,
the first step is to get a list of all vgid/vgname on the
system. This is exactly what lvmetad returns from a
vg_list request. The current code is doing a vg_lookup
on each VG after the vg_list and populating lvmcache with
the info for each VG. These preliminary vg_lookup's are
unnecessary, because they will be done again when the
processing functions call vg_read. This patch eliminates
the initial round of vg_lookup's, which can roughly cut in
half the number of lvmetad requests and save a lot of extra work.
querying future lvmpolld with zero wait time is highly undesirable
and can cause serious performance drop of the future daemon. The new
wrapper function may avoid immediate return from syscal by
introducing minimal wait time on demand.
Routines responsible for polling of in-progress pvmove, snapshot merge
or mirror conversion each used custom lookup functions to find vg and
lv involved in polling.
Especially pvmove used pvname to lookup pvmove in-progress. The future
lvmpolld will poll each operation by vg/lv name (internally by lvid).
Also there're plans to make pvmove able to move non-overlaping ranges
of extents instead of single PVs as of now. This would also require
to identify the opertion in different manner.
The poll_operation_id structure together with daemon_parms structure they
identify unambiguously the polling task.
Waiting even after _check_lv_status returned success and
'finished' flag was set to true doesn't make much sense.
Note that while we skip the wait() we also skip the
init_full_scan_done(0) inside the routine. This should
have no impact as long as the code after _wait_for_single_lv
doesn't presume anything about the state of the cache.
as a part of bigger effort to unify polling intefaces
poll_get_copy_lv should be able to look up LVs based
on theirs lv->status field.
Effective after pvmove starts using poll_get_copy_lv
fn as well.
This patch adds supporting code for handling deprecated settings.
Deprecated settings are not displayed by default in lvmconfig output
(except for --type current and --type diff). There's a new
"--showdeprecated" lvmconfig option to display them if needed.
Also, when using lvmconfig --withcomments, the comments with info
about deprecation are displayed for deprecated settings and with
lvmconfig --withversions, the version in which the setting was
deprecated is displayed in addition to the version of introduction.
If using --atversion with a version that is lower than the one
in which the setting was deprecated, the setting is then considered
as not deprecated (simply because at that version it was not
deprecated).
For example:
$ lvmconfig --type default activation
activation {
...
raid_region_size=512
...
}
$ lvmconfig --type default activation --showdeprecated
activation {
...
mirror_region_size=512
raid_region_size=512
...
}
$ lvmconfig --type default activation --showdeprecated --withversions
activation {
...
# Available since version 1.0.0.
# Deprecated since version 2.2.99.
mirror_region_size=512
# Available since version 2.2.99.
raid_region_size=512
...
}
$ lvmconfig --type default activation --showdeprecated --withcomments
activation {
...
# Configuration option activation/mirror_region_size.
# This has been replaced by the activation/raid_region_size
# setting.
# Size (in KB) of each copy operation when mirroring.
# This configuration option is deprecated.
mirror_region_size=512
# Configuration option activation/raid_region_size.
# Size in KiB of each raid or mirror synchronization region.
# For raid or mirror segment types, this is the amount of
# data that is copied at once when initializing, or moved
# at once by pvmove.
raid_region_size=512
...
}
$ lvmconfig --type default activation --withcomments --atversion 2.2.98
activation {
...
# Configuration option activation/mirror_region_size.
# Size (in KB) of each copy operation when mirroring.
mirror_region_size=512
...
}
These settings are in the "unsupported" group:
devices/loopfiles
log/activate_file
metadata/disk_areas (section)
metadata/disk_areas/<disk_area> (section)
metadata/disk_areas/<disk_area>/size
metadata/disk_areas/<disk_area>/id
These settings are in the "advanced" group:
devices/dir
devices/scan
devices/types
global/proc
activation/missing_stripe_filler
activation/mlock_filter
metadata/pvmetadatacopies
metadata/pvmetadataignore
metadata/stripesize
metadata/dirs
Also, this patch causes the --ignoreunsupported and --ignoreadvanced
switches to be honoured for all config types (lvmconfig --type).
By default, the --type current and --type diff display unsupported
settings, the other types ignore them - this patch also introduces
--showunsupported switch for all these other types to display even
unsupported settings in their output if needed.
lvmconfig --type list displays plain list of configuration settings.
Some of the existing decorations can be used (--withsummary and
--withversions) as well as existing options/switches (--ignoreadvanced,
--ignoreunsupported, --ignorelocal, --atversion).
For example (displaying only "config" section so the list is not long):
$lvmconfig --type list config

'lvm dumpconfig' now does a lot more than just dumping configuration
information and is no longer only a support tool. Users now need
to run it to find out about configuration information that has been
removed from the lvm.conf man page so we need to promote this to full
command line status as 'lvmconfig'. Also accept 'lvm config' and mention
it in the usage information of lvmconf (which should also get merged in
eventually).
