In some cases we are seeing where there are no VGs, but the data returned from
lvm shows that the PVs have the following for the VG:
"vg_name":"[unknown]", "vg_uuid":""
The code was only checking for the exitence of the VG name and we called into
the function get_object_path_by_uuid_lvm_id which requires both the VG name and
the LV name to exist (asserts this) which results in the following stack trace:

When executing in the main thread, if we encounter an exception we
will bypass the notify_all call on the condition and the calling thread
never wakes up.
@staticmethod
def runner(obj):
# noinspection PyProtectedMember
Exception thrown here
----> obj._run()
So the following code doesn't run, which causes calling thread to hang
with obj.cond:
obj.function_complete = True
obj.cond.notify_all()
Additionally for some unknown reason the stderr is lost.
Best guess is it's something to do with scheduling a python function
into the GLib.idle_add. That made finding issue quite difficult.
ATM we have several instances of daemonizing code.
Each has its 'special' logic so not completely easy
to unify them all into a single routine.
Start to unify them and use one strategy for rediricting
all input/outpus to /dev/null - use 'dup2' function for this
and open /dev/null before fork to make sure it's available.

Avoid adding -g more then once for debug builds.
Avoid enabling DEBUG_MEM when we build multithreaded tools.
Link executables with -fPIE -pie and --export-dynamic LDFLAGS
Introduce PROGS_FLAGS to add option to pass flags for external libs.
Link lvm2 internally library only when really used.
Link DAEMON_LIBS with daemons.

Centralise editing of the client list into _add_client() and
_del_client(). Introduce _local_client_count to track the size of the
list for debugging purposes. Simplify and standardise the various ways
the list gets walked.
While processing one element of the list in main_loop(),
cleanup_zombie() may be called and remove a different element, so make
sure main_loop() refreshes its list state on return. Prior to this
patch, the list edits for clients disappearing could race against the
list edits for new clients connecting and corrupt the list and cause a
variety of segfaults.
An easy way to trigger such failures was by repeatedly running shell
commands such as:
lvs &; lvs &; lvs &;...;killall -9 lvs; lvs &; lvs &;...
Situations that occasionally lead to the failures can be spotted by
looking for 'EOF' with 'inprogress=1' in the clvmd debug logs.
When we want to report primary leg failure, check for intial 'a',
since otherwice 'Aa idle' is normally visible.
Also reset array of bit flags marking dead devices, once
plugin detects raid is in sync.
Functionality of ignore suspend devices is already granted by:
lvm2_disable_dmeventd_monitoring() -> init_run_by_dmeventd() ->
init_ignore_suspended_devices().
In fact plugins should never use --config because it has
some unpleasant technical issues.
Add the checks necessary to distiguish the state of a RAID when the primary
source for syncing fails during the "recover" process.
It has been possible to hit this condition before (like when converting from
2-way RAID1 to 3-way and having the first two devices die during the "recover"
process). However, this condition is now more likely since we treat linear ->
RAID1 conversions as "recover" now - so it is especially important we cleanly
handle this condition.
The file block count stored in the filemap_monitor was lazily
initialised at the time of the first check. This causes problems
in the case that the file has been truncated between this time and
the time the daemon started: the initial block count and current
block count match and the daemon fails to detect a change.
Separate the setting of the block count from the check and make a
call to update the value at the start of _dmfilemapd().
If during the process of fetching current lvm state we experience an
exception we fail to call set_result on the queued_requests we were
processing. When this happens those threads block forever which causes
the service to stall infinitely. Only clear the queued_requests after
we have called set_result.
We were not adding background tasks to flight recorder. Add the meta
data to the flight recorder when we start the command and update the meta
data when the command is finished. Locking was added to meta data to
prevent concurrent update and returning string representation as these can
happen in two different threads.
vgreduce previously allowed --all and --removemissing together even though
it only actual did the remove missing. The lvm dbus daemon was passing
--all anytime there was no entries in pv_object_paths. This change supplies
--all if and only if we are not removing missing and the pv_object_paths
is empty.
Vgreduce has and continues to enforce the invalid combination of supplying a
device list when you specify --all or --removemissing so we do not need
to check for that invalid combination explicitly in the lvm dbus service as
it's already covered.

With recent updates for thin pool monitoring in version 169
we lost multiple WARNINGs to be printed in syslog, when
pool crossed 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 100%.
Restore this logic as we want to keep user informed more
then just once when 80% boundary is passed.
Fix a regression introduced in 70bb726 that allows a local variable
in the monitored file checking routine to be accessed before its
assignment when the file has already been unlinked.
When a user does a Manager.PvCreate they can specify the block device using a
device path that may be different than what lvm reports is the device path. For
example a user could use:
/dev/disk/by-id/wwn-0x5002538500000000 instead of /dev/sdc
In this case the pvcreate will succeed, but when we query lvm we don't find the
newly created PV. We fail because it's device path is returned as /dev/sdc. This
change re-uses an internal lookup which can accommodate this and correctly find
the newly created PV.

Adding qualifier makes the only unqualified log_debug occurence
consistent with other uses in the same file.
Other possible ways to fix this:
- using `from .utils import log_debug`
- moving the line below `from . import utils` line
Since _filemap_monitor_set_notify() is only called after daemon
start up it should not use the _early_log() macros. Instead, use
log_sys_error to log errors from the two syscalls in the function.
The function _filemap_monitor_check_file_unlinked() attempts to
test whether a fd value should be closed by comparison to zero:
if ((fd > 0) && close(fd))
log_error("Error closing fd %d", fd);
The test should be '>=' since 0 is a valid file descriptor.
Similar to 40fb91a, but for the file descriptor opened using the
link path reported by /proc/<self>/fd/<fd>.
The daemon opens a new file descriptor from /proc/<self>/fd when
checking for an unlinked file with mode=inode. Ensure that it is
always closed even if the same file test fails.
The daemon opens a new file descriptor from fm->path when checking
for an unlinked file with mode=inode. Ensure that it is always
closed even if the same file test fails.
The path argument check in dmfilemapd incorrectly tests for:
if (argv[0] == '/')
Rather than testing the 1st character in the string pointed to by
argv[0].
Udev events can come in like a flood when something changes. It really
doesn't do us any good to refresh the state of the service numerous times
when 1 would suffice. We had something like this before, but it was
removed when we added the refresh thread. However, we have since learned
that we need to sequence events in the correct order and block dbus
operations if we believe the state has been affected, thus udev events are
being processed on the main work queue. This change limits spurious
work items from getting to the queue.
If we always disable the sending of notify dbus events then in the case
where all the users are lvm dbus users we will be in udev handling mode
until at least 1 external lvm command occurs. Instead we will not disable
notify dbus until after we get at least 1 external event. This makes the
service get into the correct mode of operation faster.
Previous commit 506d88a2ec introduced disabling lvmetad on repairs.
Avoid calling lvscan and use of any --config options altogether
in the mirror and raid DSOs.
Related: rhbz1380521
Repairing missing devices does not work reliably
with lvmetad, so disable lvmetad before repair.
A standard lvmetad refresh (pvscan --cache) will
enable lvmetad again.
Commit 07ded8059c assumed that the mirror is blocked which is not the case.
It is accessible, degraded and in need of repair because some of its legs
(partially) failed. Any auto-repair via dmeventd fails though because
of lvmetad not providing proper data about the failed PV(s). That's why
this workaround got introduced in commit 76f6951c3e until we get to
the lvmetad interaction core issue.
Mind any mirror auto-repair failure is caused by such lvmetad interaction
problems not yet solved so disabling lvmetad works as a resort as elaborated
on in the related bz.
Reintroducing the interim solution.
Resolves: rhbz1380521
Effectively revert whole 76f6951c3e.
We need to figure out some other solution.
At this moment usage of --config with 'repair' of blocked mirror
is 'freezing' combination.
Require that the path argument to dmfilemapd be an absolute path
and document this in tool output, libdevmapper.h and dmfilemapd.8.
The check is also enforced by dm_stats_start_filemapd() to avoid
forking a new process with an invalid path argument.
The initial check on argc incorrectly returns 1 when the wrong
number of arguments are present, causing a segfault in main()
when no arguments are given:
# dmfilemapd
Wrong number of arguments.
usage: dmfilemapd <fd> <group_id> <path> <mode> [<foreground>[<log_level>]]
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Utilizing the --config option we will utilize global/notify_dbus=0 so
that the service itself doesn't generate change events which it then needs to
process.
We need to place query operations in the queue to prevent the case where
a client knows of something before the service does. For example if a
client creates a PV/VG/LV outside of the dbus API and then immediately
tries to lookup and use that resource in the lvm dbus service it should
be present. By placing the queries in the work queue any previous
refresh operation will complete before we process the query.
The filemap daemon takes its program_id from the regions it is
managing: use DM_STATS_ALL_PROGRAMS when retrieving an initial
listing and then obtain the correct program_id from the group
leader.
Automatic dmeventd repair of mirrors with active lvmetad configured
(mirror_image_fault_policy = "allocate") fails because the lvscan
run before the repair in the mirror DSO does not update the
lvmetad cache properly thus "lvconvert --repair ..." fails.
Need to scan the mirror LV before and after the repair
to have proper cache content after the repair finished.
The cache can't be relied on or the repair will fail.
Resolves: rhbz1380521
Add a daemon that can be launched to monitor a group of regions
corresponding to the extents of a file, and to update the regions as the
file's allocation changes.
The daemon is intended to be started from a library interface, but can
also be run from the command line:
dmfilemapd <fd> <group_id> <path> <mode> [<foreground>[<log_level>]]
Where fd is a file descriptor open on the mapped file, group_id is the
group identifier of the mapped group and mode is either "inode" or
"path". E.g.:
# dmfilemapd 3 0 vm.img inode 1 3 3<vm.img
...
If foreground is non-zero, the daemon will not fork to run in the
background. If verbose is non-zero, libdm and daemon log messages will
be printed.
It is possible for the group identifier to change when regions are
re-mapped: this occurs when the group leader is deleted (regroup=1 in
dm_stats_update_regions_from_fd()), and another region is created before
the daemon has a chance to recreate the leader region.
The operation is inherently racey since there is currently no way to
atomically move or resize a dm_stats region while retaining its
region_id.
Detect this condition and update the group_id value stored in the
filemap monitor.
A function is also provided in the the stats API to launch the filemap
monitoring daemon:
int dm_stats_start_filemapd(int fd, uint64_t group_id, const char *path,
dm_filemapd_mode_t mode, unsigned foreground,
unsigned verbose);
This carries out the first fork and execs dmfilemapd with the arguments
specified.
A dm_filemapd_mode_t value is specified by the mode argument: either
DM_FILEMAPD_FOLLOW_INODE, or DM_FILEMAPD_FOLLOW_PATH. A helper function,
dm_filemapd_mode_from_string(), is provided to parse a string containing
a valid mode name into the appropriate dm_filemapd_mode_t value.
Some archs can use even 64K pages and then lvm2 runs into trouble if
the stack is 'too small' to fit extra page capturing stack overwrite.
So when lvm2 limits stack - add extra mem page - be it 4K or 64K.
Relates to ppc64le bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1387279
For more advanced support we need to ensure better logic for calling
external much more advanced script for maintanance of thin-pool.
So this new code ensures:
When thin-pool data or metadata is bigger then 50%,
then with each 5% increment, action is called.
This is independent from autoextend_threshold.
This action always happens when thin-pool is over threshold,
(so no action when it's exactly i.e. 60%).
The only exception is 100% full thin-pool - which invokes 'last'
action.
Since thin-pool occupancy may change also downward, code needs
to also handle possibly reduction of occupancy of thin-pool.
So when usage drop from 90% to 50%, thin-pool will start to call
again action when it will pass 55% threshold.
This give external commands lot of option i.e. to call 'fstrim'
before actual resize is needed.
Default internal logic will stop trying to do any 'rescue' action
when executed command fails.
This will be now fully in hands of external script if such
behaviour is needed.
Instead of stopping monitoring after couple failing retries,
keep monitoring forever, just make larger delays between command
retries (ATM upto ~42 minutes).
So syslog is not spammed too often, yet commands have a chance to
be retried and succeed eventually...
When dmeventd configured command does not start with 'lvm ' prefix,
it's going to be an 'external' command.
In this case we split command by spaces to argv strings.
When thin-pool processes event and 'lvextend --use-policies' fails
rather capture up-to-date new info as the fullness percentage may
have jumped noticable. This way we could use 'more' correct numbers
when checking for thresholds.
The function timeout_add_seconds has quite a bit of variability. Using
timeout_add which specifies the timeout in ms instead of seconds. Testing
shows that this is much more consistent which should improve clients that
are using shorter timeouts for the API and the connection.
Added a properties changed signal on the job dbus object so that client
can wait for a signal that the job is complete instead of polling or
blocking on the wait method.
Allows the user to override the number of commands that get dumped
to the log when we encounter a lvm error. Also useful during
development when you don't want to see the blackbox output.
When reading data from stdout & stderr we were reading until the
reading until we got None back which really isn't needed as the
read will return everything that is available.
We need to acquire a lock which can block us which in turn causes
the dbus request handling to block as well. Place the request on
the work queue instead.
Our expectation was that when using the lvm shell that when the lvm prompt
was read from stdout, that all other ouput had been written and flushed.
However, this doesn't appear to be the case. Add extra read passes to
retrieve delayed report data.
In preparation to have more than one thread issuing commands to lvm
at the same time we need to serialize updates to the dbus state and
retrieving the global lvm state. To achieve this we have one thread
handling this with a thread safe queue taking and coalescing requests.
This code is no longer needed because the back ground task has been
removed. Will add back if we change the design and end up utilizing
multiple worker threads.
There is no reason to create another background task when the task that
created it is going to block waiting for it to finish. Instead we will
just execute the logic in the worker thread that is servicing the worker
queue.
Translate log_info() into log_very_verbose() which is macro
supposed to be used by our code.
log_info() is internal macro with eventually some 'symbolic' meaning
in syslogging daemons.
Ensure different logging function for dmeventd.c logging
and dm and lvm library.
We can recognize we want to show every log_info() and
log_notice() message from dmeventd.c code while not
exposing those from libdm/libdevmapper-event
Also switch to use log with errno - it's not changing
anything and doesn't bring any more features yet to dmeventd
logging but we just properly pass dm_errno_or_class properly
through the whole code stack for possible future use
(i.e. support of class logging for dmeventd).
Reword the logging logic and try to restore previous logging
behavior for 'standalone' running daemon while preserving
debuggable feautures it has gained.
So actual rules:
dmeventd without any '-d' option will syslog all messages
from dmeventd.c it dmeventd plugins.
log_notice()==log_verbose()
log_info()==log_very_verbose()
But to show also log_debug() used has to give '-ddd'.
When user specified '-d, -dd, -ddd, -dddd' it
will also enable tracing of messages from libdm & lib
executed code - which is mainly useful for testing
i.e.: 'dmeventd -fldddd'
Introduce macros:
log_level(), log_stderr(), log_once(), log_bypass_report()
For easier and more consisten way how to 'decoder' bits
of info from passed 'level'.
This patch fixes potential problem when 'level' of message
might not have always masked right bits.
Instead of creating a thread to handle the case where a client
is calling job.Wait, we will utilize a timer. This significantly
reduces the number of threads that get created and destroyed while
the service is running.
We will fetch the lvm state in non-main thread and only process the new
data with the main thread to prevent hanging the main thread event loop.

When a PV device is missing lvm will return '[unknown]' for the device
path. The object manager keeps a hash table lookup for uuid and for PV's
device name. When we had multiple PVs with the same device path we
we only had 1 key in the table for the lvm id (device path). This caused
a problem when the PV device transitioned from '[unknown]' to known as any
subsequent transitions would cause an exception:

The dm-raid target now rejects device rebuild requests during ongoing
resynchronization thus causing 'lvconvert --repair ...' to fail with
a kernel error message. This regresses with respect to failing automatic
repair via the dmeventd RAID plugin in case raid_fault_policy="allocate"
is configured in lvm.conf as well.
Previously allowing such repair request required cancelling the
resynchronization of any still accessible DataLVs, hence reasoning
potential data loss.
Patch allows the resynchronization of still accessible DataLVs to
finish up by rejecting any 'lvconvert --repair ...'.
It enhances the dmeventd RAID plugin to be able to automatically repair
by postponing the repair after synchronization ended.
More tests are added to lvconvert-rebuild-raid.sh to cover single
and multiple DataLV failure cases for the different RAID levels.

Gris debugged that when we don't have a method the introspection
data is missing the interface itself eg.
<interface name="<your_obj_iface_name>" />
When adding the properties to the dbus object introspection we will
add the interface too if it's missing. This now allows us the
ability to have a dbus object with only properties.
When we register a failure we need to use a valid value which will be
returned with the object manager. Otherwise we will raise an Exception
because we are trying to construct an object path from None.
The methods were returning an instance of the object instead of the
object path which was causing an exception when the result was returned
with the job object as we are explicity trying to return an object path.
Unit test added which re-creates the issue and verifies the fix.
- Prevent --lvmshell with --nojson, not a valid combination
- If user is preventing json, then no lvmshell usage
- Return boolean on Manager.UseLvmShell
The normal mode of operation will be to monitor for udev events until an
ExternalEvent occurs. In that case the service will disable monitoring
for udev events and use ExternalEvent exclusively.
Note: User specifies --udev the service will always monitor udev regardless
if ExternalEvent is being called too.
With the addition of JSON and the ability to get output which is known to
not contain any extraneous text we can now leverage lvm shell, so that we
don't fork and exec lvm command line repeatedly.
When we are running in a terminal it's useful to have a date & ts on log
output like you get when output goes to the journal. Check if we are
running on a tty and if we are, add it in.
When converting to a cache lv, tests were hanging with a prompt for
"Do you want wipe existing metadata of cache pool volume
To preserve cache metadata add option "--zero n".
WARNING: Reusing mismatched cache pool metadata MAY DESTROY YOUR DATA!"
This is new.
When a client is doing a wait on a job, any other clients will hang
when trying to do anything with the service. This is caused by
the wait code which was placing the thread that handles
incoming dbus requests to sleep until either the timeout expired or
the job operation completed.
This change creates a thread for the wait request, so that the thread
processing incoming requests can continue to run.
If the VG holding the global lock is removed, we can indicate
that as the reason for not being able to acquire the global
lock in subsequent error messages, and can suggest enabling
the global lock in another VG. (This helpful error message
will go away if the global lock is enabled in another VG,
or if lvmlockd is restarted.)
Run umount code only when either thin data or metadata are
above 95% - so if there are resize failures with 60%.
system fill keep running.
Also umount will only be tried with lvm2 LVs.
Foreign users are ATM unsuppored.
We call 'lvm help' to find out if fullreport is supported. Lvm
dumps help to stderr. Common code prints a warning if we exit
with 0, but have something in stderr so we are skipping the warning
message.
The following operations would hang if lvm was compiled with
'enable-notify-dbus' and the client specified -1 for the timeout:
* LV snapshot merge
* VG move
* LV move
This was caused because the implementation of these three dbus methods is
different. Most of the dbus method calls are executed by gathering information
needed to fulfill it, placing that information on a thread safe queue and
returning. The results later to be returned to the client with callbacks.
With this approach we can process an arbitrary number of commands without any
of them blocking other dbus commands. However, the 3 dbus methods listed
above did not utilize this functionality because they were implemented with a
separate thread that handles the fork & exec of lvm. This is done because these
operations can be very slow to complete. However, because of this the lvm
command that we were waiting on is trying to call back into the dbus service to
notify it that something changed. Because the code was blocking the process
that handles the incoming dbus activity the lvm command blocked. We were stuck
until the client timed-out the connection, which then causes the service to
unblock and continue. If the client did not have a timeout, we would have been
hung indefinitely.
The fix is to always utilize the worker queue on all dbus methods. We need to
ensure that lvm is tested with 'enable-notify-dbus' enabled and disabled.
Previously, a command sent lvmetad new VG metadata in vg_commit().
In vg_commit(), devices are suspended, so any memory allocation
done by the command while sending to lvmetad, or by lvmetad while
updating its cache could deadlock if memory reclaim was triggered.
Now lvmetad is updated in unlock_vg(), after devices are resumed.
The new method for updating VG metadata in lvmetad is in two phases:
1. In vg_write(), before devices are suspended, the command sends
lvmetad a short message ("set_vg_info") telling it what the new
VG seqno will be. lvmetad sees that the seqno is newer than
the seqno of its cached VG, so it sets the INVALID flag for the
cached VG. If sending the message to lvmetad fails, the command
fails before the metadata is committed and the change is not made.
If sending the message succeeds, vg_commit() is called.
2. In unlock_vg(), after devices are resumed, the command sends
lvmetad the standard vg_update message with the new metadata.
lvmetad sees that the seqno in the new metadata matches the
seqno it saved from set_vg_info, and knows it has the latest
copy, so it clears the INVALID flag for the cached VG.
If a command fails between 1 and 2 (after committing the VG on disk,
but before sending lvmetad the new metadata), the cached VG retains
the INVALID flag in lvmetad. A subsequent command will read the
cached VG from lvmetad, see the INVALID flag, ignore the cached
copy, read the VG from disk instead, update the lvmetad copy
with the latest copy from disk, (this clears the INVALID flag
in lvmetad), and use the correct VG metadata for the command.
(This INVALID mechanism already existed for use by lvmlockd.)
Reconnect to lvmetad if either the send fails (e.g. lvmetad
was restarted since lvmlockd last connected), or if no
lvmetad connection exists (e.g. lvmetad was started after
lvmlockd so no previous connection existed.)
Previously, vgcfgrestore would attempt to vg_remove the
existing VG from lvmetad and then vg_update to add the
restored VG. But, if there was a failure in the command
or with vg_update, the lvmetad cache would be left incorrect.
Now, disable lvmetad before the restore begins, and then
rescan to populate lvmetad from disk after restore has
written the new VG to disk.
We were initially looking to see if an LV was hidden and if it was we were
creating an instance of a LvCommon object to represent it. Thus if we
had a hidden cache pool for example we were missing the methods and
properties for the cache pool. However, when we create the object path,
any hidden LVs, regardless of type/functionality will be placed in the
hidden path.
The object manager method get_object_by_lvm_id was used in many cases for
the sole reason of getting the object path for the object. Instead of
retrieving the object and then calling 'dbus_object_path' on the object, we
are adding a method which returns the object path.
When we are processing the LVs we need to build up dbus objects from least
dependent to most dependent, so that we have information available when
constructing.
If a command gets stuck during an lvmetad update, lvmetad
will cancel that update after the timeout. The next command
to check the lvmetad will see that lvmetad needs to be
populated because lvmetad will return token of "none" after
a timed out update (same as when lvmetad is not populated
at all after starting.)
If a command gets an error during an lvmetad update, it
will now just quit and leave its updating token in place.
That update will be cancelled after the timeout.
