This command option can be used to trigger a D-Bus
notification independent of the usual notifications
that are sent from other commands as an effect of
changes to PV/VG/LV state. If lvm is not built with
dbus notification support or if notify_dbus is disabled
in the config, this command will exit with an error.
When a command modifies a PV or VG, or changes the
activation state of an LV, it will send a dbus
notification when the command is finished. This
can be enabled/disabled with a config setting.
Pair kernel_cache_settings with kernel_cache_policy.
There is very small chance in error case that the value in table
might be differnet from the value stored in metadata
so make it 'checkable'.
Showing 'u' in the pv_attr reporting field is mostly unnecessary because
most PVs are allocatable, and being allocatable implies it is (u)sed,
and this is already obvious from other fields in the default 'pvs'
output like the VG name.
So move the new (u)sed pv_attr from character position 4 to 1, and only
show it in those rare cases when the PV is not (a)llocatable or the
relevant metadata is missing.
(Scripts should not be using pv_attr, but rather pv_allocatable,
pv_exported, pv_missing, pv_in_use etc.)
Correct name is lvm2-lvmdbusd.service not lvmdbusd.service.
This makes the bus-activation (auto-activation) work.

Since we want to read env LVM_VG_NAME vg names,
we cannot just check LV names which do contain '/'.

Please provide a valid volume group name
After:
Path required for Logical Volume "vg".
Please provide a valid volume group name
> LVM_VG_NAME=vg lvconvert --repair vg

Commit ca878a3426 introduced an issue
that zero sized extesion suddenly started to be accepted and
missed to return error.
Properly check invalid input values for sizes.
Reshuffle messages during pvremove.
Always print WARNING: when PV is in use so using options
--force --force doesn't make this important user
notification go away.
Simplify variable 'used' usage (so older gcc doesn't warn
about the use of unitilizied variable).
Add some '.' into messages.
Currently it's been checked for 'zero' header for thin-pool,
but lets use it always for cache as well - since it's relatively 'cheap'
detection of read 'error' problems as thin/cache tools
currently do not work fast enough in this case.
When update fails in suspend() (sending of messages
fails because metadata space is full) call resume(),
so the locking sequence works properly for clustering.
Also failing deactivation should unlock memory.
Fix reporting of Fail thin-pool target status
as attr[8] letter 'F'.
Report 'needs_check' status from thin-pool target via
attr field [4] (letter 'c'/'C'), and also via CheckNeeded field.

If we know that a PV belongs to some VG and we're missing metadata
(because we have only those PV(s) from VG present in the system that
don't have metadata areas), we should skip such PV when processing
under system ID.
This is because we know that the PV belongs to some VG, but we
really can't decide whether it matches system ID unless the VG
metadata is present again.
This is a hotfix for a bug introduced in
6d7dc87cb3.
The bug description: First we allocate memory for
processing handle (at an address 1) then we
allocate some memory on the same pool for later use
in pvmove_poll function inside the process_each_pv
function (at an address 2). After we jump out of
process_each_pv we called destroy_processing_handle.
As a result of destroying the handle memory pool could
deallocate all memory at address 1 or higher. The
pvmove_poll function tried to copy a memory allocated
at address 2 that could be returned to the system.
If it was so it led to segfault.
We need to rethink proper fix but in the same time
cmd->mem pool is recreated per each lvm command so
this should not cause problems even when we run
multiple commands in lvm shell.

'verbose' was marked as a boolean option while it
takes integer args - so it has limited usage to 0 or 1,
but we supported 0-4 at least.
Fix it by switching to corrent int type.
(Hopefully noone was trying to use this variable as true/yes/false/no
way - as the would be unsupported/undocumented).
Reporter noticed lvm2 incorrectly translated
lvm2 threshold value to water mark in commit:

Fix it by properly translating size to number of
blocks in thin-pool and then calc for free blocks
matching configured lvm2 threshold value.

Normally, we generate and provide lvm.conf file where use_blkid_wiping
is set based on whether support for this is compiled in or not. This was
generated properly based on configure.
However, if lvm.conf is not used at all (someone deletes it) or the value
in lvm.conf is commented out (user edited it), we still need to use
proper default value that is based on DEFAULT_USE_BLKID_WIPING taken
from configure script - we used hardcoded value of "1" in this case
by mistake.
We already do check for suspended devs within udev rules where
the pvscan is to update lvmetad. So the check for suspended devs
in "pre-lvmetad" chain is not useful here - remove it - it may
be a source of hardly to detect races anyway (if udev rule detects
the device is not suspended and then the pvscan instance sees the
dev as suspended, we may end up not reacting to the event properly).
Non-dm devices have ID_PART_TABLE_TYPE variable exported in
udev db from blkid scan for *both* whole devices and partitions.
We used ID_PART_ENTRY_DISK in addition to decide whether this
is the whole device or partition and then we filtered out only
whole devices where the partition table really is.
However, ID_PART_ENTRY_DISK was added in blkid 2.20 so we need
to use a different set of variables to decide on whole devices
and partitions on systems where older blkid is still used.
Now, we use ID_PART_TABLE_TYPE to detect that there's something
related to partitioning with this device and we use DEVTYPE variable
instead to decide between whole device (DEVTYPE="disk") and partition
(DEVTYPE="partition").
For dm devices it's simpler, we have ID_PART_TABLE_TYPE variable\
set in udev db for whole devices. It's not set for partitions,
hence we don't need more variable in addition to make the decision
on whole device vs. partition (dm devices do not have regular
partitions, hence DEVTYPE can't be used anyway, it's always set
to "disk" for whole disks and partitions).
Add "size" and "size_seqno" to struct device to cache device's size
and also to control its lifetime - the cached value is valid as long
as the global _dev_size_seqno is equal to the device's size_seqno,
otherwise we need to get the size again and cache the new value.
This patch also adds new dev_size_seqno_inc() fn for the appropriate
parts of the code to increment current global value of _dev_size_seqno
and hence to cause all currently cached values for device sizes to
be invalidated.
The device size is now cached because we're planning to reuse this
information for further checks and we want to avoid checking it more
than necessary to save resources.
Fix regression caused by c9f021de0b.
This commit actually transfered real-action (e.g. device removal)
into the next loop which has however missed to check for break.
So add check for break also there.
When creating a list in 'context of command' - use proper mempool.
vg->vgmem is mempool related to VG metadata - and can be eventually
locked read-only when VG struct is shared.

the line cannot start with apostrophe as it has then a different

If not using explicit --enable-blkid-wiping/--disable-blkid-wiping
configure option, the configure script tries to enable/disable blkid
wiping feature automatically based on blkid library version found.
The script incorrectly set default value for lvm.conf's
allocation/use_blkid_wiping" setting to "1" (enabled) if proper
blkid library version was not found or the version found was less
than the minimum required. It should be set to "0" in this case.
Since commit 2fc126b00d, the library
code requires udev to be initialised for device scanning and
clvmd can fail to find VGs if devices/external_device_info_source
is set to "udev".
There are two basic groups of fields for LV segment device reporting:
- related to LV segment's devices: devices and seg_pe_ranges
- related to LV segment's metadata devices: metadata_devices and seg_metadata_le_ranges
The devices and metadata_devices report devices in this format:
"device_name(extent_start)"
The seg_pe_ranges and seg_metadata_le_ranges report devices in
this format:
"device_name:extent_start-extent_end"
This patch reverts partly what commit 7f74a99502
(v 2.02.140) introduced in this area - it added [] for
hidden devices to mark them for all four fields mentioned above.
We won't be marking hidden devices in devices and metadata_devices
fields.
The seg_metadata_le_ranges field will have hidden devices marked -
it's new enough that we don't need to care about compatibility much
yet.
The seg_pe_ranges is old enough that we shouldn't be changing this
one - so we're reverting to not marking hidden devices here.
Instead, there's going to be a new field "seg_le_ranges" which
is going to replace the seg_pe_ranges and it will mark hidden devices -
this is going to be introduced in a patch later.
So in the end we'll end up with:
(LV segment's devices)
devices field with "device_name(extent_start)" format, not marking hidden devices
seg_pe_ranges field with "device_name:extent_start-extent_end" format, not marking hidden devices (deprecated, new seg_le_ranges should be used instead for standardized format)
seg_le_ranges field with "device_name:extent_start-extent_end" format, marking hidden devices
(LV segment's metadata devices)
metadata_devices field with "device_name:extent_start-extent_end" format, not marking hidden devices
seg_metadata_le_ranges field with "device_name:extent_start-extent_end" format, marking hidden devices
Also, both seg_le_ranges and seg_metadata_le_ranges will honour the
report/list_item_separator setting which can be used to configure
the delimiter used for list items.
So, to sum it up, we will recommend using the new seg_le_ranges and
seg_metadata_le_ranges fields because they display devices with
standard extent range format, they can mark hidden devices and they
honour the report/list_item_separator setting.
We'll be keeping devices,seg_pe_ranges and metadata_devices fields
for compatibility.
When reporting on LVs, take the end of the range from the size of the
underlying (hidden) LV rather than the logical size of the current
segment (that PVs use).
Existing cache_settings field displays the settings which are
saved in metadata. Add new kernel_cache_settings fields to display
the settings which are currently used by kernel, including fields
for which default values are used.
This way users have complete view of the set of cache settings
supported (and which they can set) and their values which are used
at the moment by kernel.
For example:
$ lvs -o name,cache_policy,cache_settings,kernel_cache_settings vg
LV Cache Policy Cache Settings KCache Settings
cached1 mq migration_threshold=1024,write_promote_adjustment=2 migration_threshold=1024,random_threshold=4,sequential_threshold=512,discard_promote_adjustment=1,read_promote_adjustment=4,write_promote_adjustment=2
cached2 smq migration_threshold=1024 migration_threshold=1024
cached3 smq migration_threshold=2048
Fix lvm2app to return either 0 or 1 for lvm_vg_is_{clustered,exported},
including internal functions pvseg_is_allocated and vg_is_resizeable
which are not yet exposed in lvm2app but make them consistent with the
rest.
Thin pool discard mode set in metadata can be different from the one
actually used if any device underneath does not support that mode. Add
kernel_discard report field to make it possible to see this difference.
Use common _lvname_disp to report lv_parent. The _lvname_disp
takes care of properly marking LVs which are not visible - such
LVs are always enclosed in brackets when reported within any
other field.
For example, thin pool over RAID.

Fix regression caused by commit c2d4330f27
which removed the dm_pool_strdup for the cache policy name in
_cache_policy_disp report function.
This regression was hit with buffered reporting only (which is
used by default). The reason is that for buffered reporting, we're
iterating over LVs in VG (process_each_lv) while gathering
all the information that is needed for the report. In this case,
the LV's cache policy name has not been duped, but only the pointer
to the original VG buffer was stored. When the LV iteration finished,
the VG buffer was freed and any report to output called later
(dm_report_output call) accessed already freed VG data.
This didn't appear if unbuffered reporting was used (--unbuffered)
because in this case, the data were reported to output as
soon as they were processed, hence it was reported to output
before the VG data was freed.
The lvm2-activation{-early,-net}.service systemd unit statuses were missing
in dump gathered by lvmdump -s. These are quite important when debugging
scenarios with systemd environment and where lvmetad is not used.
Pass full buffer size to printf() function - no reason to make
buffer 1 char smaller.
Also rename locn buffer to message buffer directly since it's
not used for anything else.
TODO: we may use same buffer also for 'buf[]' since there is
no collision - so may safe 1K on stack usage.
Just for convenience to display all new configuration settings
introduced since given version (before, there was only --atversion
to display settings introduced in concrete version).
For example:
$ lvmconfig --type new --sinceversion 2.2.120
allocation {
# cache_mode="writethrough"
# cache_settings {
# }
}
global {
use_lvmlockd=0
# lvmlockd_lock_retries=3
# sanlock_lv_extend=256
use_lvmpolld=1
}
activation {
}
# report {
# compact_output_cols=""
# time_format="%Y-%m-%d %T %z"
# }
local {
# host_id=0
}
When 'lvextend -L+XX vg/thinpool' do not leave inactive table
loaded for 'wrapping' LV on top of resized thin-pool
(ATM we use linear LV for this with same size as thin-pool).
Udev recently start to 'link-in' major amount of useless libs.
(Seem to be faulty 'systemd' link-in all issue)
Anyway - avoid locking those libs in RAM.
Avoid internal error message where thin pool repair code tries to
fix cache pool - was catched later in code stack, so rather
catch this early and make the repair function exlusive
to thin pools.
So far we have no code for repairing cache pools
(other then the automatic during activation/deactivation).
When reading older lvm2 metadata for cache-pool - we now handle more
extended syntax - basically we want to enter most setting when
actually creating cached LV.
For this new validation code has been added. However older metadata
without new settings set is now found as invalid.
Fix it by adding default settings for cache policy mq
and cache mode writethrough.
Udev db records are marked as not initialized (incomplete) on timeout.
Issue an error message whenever LVM finds such records so users are
aware that something's going wrong with udev db.
This is important in case we use devices/external_device_info_source="udev"
where udev database records are used to do various filtering decisions.
For example:
udev log of timed out worker:
Nov 11 13:02:25 raw.virt systemd-udevd[607]: seq 1997 '/devices/virtual/block/dm-2' is taking a long time
Nov 11 13:04:25 raw.virt systemd-udevd[607]: seq 1997 '/devices/virtual/block/dm-2' killed
Nov 11 13:04:25 raw.virt systemd-udevd[607]: worker [11221] terminated by signal 9 (Killed)
Nov 11 13:04:25 raw.virt systemd-udevd[607]: worker [11221] failed while handling '/devices/virtual/block/dm-2'
...
LVM also issues error message visibly if incomplete udev db record is found,
devices/external_device_info_source="udev" is set:
$ pvs
Udev database has incomplete information about device /dev/dm-2.
Failed to get external handle for device /dev/dm-2 [udev].
...
Doing 'stat' checking first and later opening is racy.
And since we do not really care about any 'status' info
here and we read 'sysfs' here - just drop whole 'stat()'
call and directly handle error from failing 'fopen()'.
Currently the code creates the log separately after allocating space for
the data and as no data allocation is needed this second time,
total_extents ends up holding zero so use new_extents directly instead.
Now with correctly functioning dmeventd enable usage of
low_water_mark for faster reaction on pool's threshold.
When user select e.g. 80% as a threshold value,
dmeventd doesn't need to wait 10 seconds till monitoring
timer expires, but nearly instantly resizes thin-pool
to fit bellow threshold.
The former patch(dab3ebce4c) is a little bit strict. For example, it is
OK to create PV on unpartitioned DASD devices with LDL formatted. So
after lvm version containing the patch, LVs created on those devices
could not be found.

Recognize the target only 'extends' and do not enforce
'flush' in this case. Only the size reduction
still requires flush (so disables usage of no_flush flag).
If some other targets do require flush before suspend,
they have to explicitly ask for it.
While the activation code tries to evaluate which target
really needs flush with suspend and which may go without flush,
it has stayed effectively disabled by original commit:
33f732c5e9 since here
it only allows to pass non-pvmoving 'mirrors'.
So remove check for mirror LV type and only disable
no_flush for 'pvmove'..
TODO: Looking into history - it also seemed like raid target
would have always required flushing but it's been later
removed without clean explanation.
If some more targets really do need 'no_flush' it should
been handle at their 'level' - since we now stack multiple
targets over itself.
Use single code to evaluate if the percentage value has
crossed threshold.
Recalculate amount value to always fit bellow
threshold so there are not need any extra reiterations
to reach this state in case policy amount is too small.
Since plugin's percentage compare has been fixed,
it's now revealed wrong compare here.
The logic for threshold is - to allow to go as high
as given value e.g. 80% - so if pool is exactlu 80%
full it's still allowed to use it (dmeventd will not
resize it).
When lvmetad is used and lvmcache update function (lvmcache_update_vgname_and_id)
was called to update existing lvmcache records, a condition was met
which made to retun from the update function immediately, effectively
making it NOOP.
It seems there's no reason for such condition and lvmcache should be
update appropriately even when lvmetad used as lvmcache may be reused,
most notably in lvm shell.
It's possible this is a remnant of the lvmetad development code which
didn't get removed for some reason and the bug didn't get spotted
because lvm shell is not used often (the condition dates back to 2012
or so).
Example, lvmetad and lvm shell used:
lvm> pvs
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/sda vg lvm2 a-- 124.00m 124.00m
Before this patch:
==================
lvm> vgremove vg

lvm> pvs
With this patch applied:
========================
lvm> vgremove vg
Volume group "vg" successfully removed
lvm> pvs
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/sda lvm2 --- 128.00m 128.00m
The lvmcache info might be resued, most notably in lvm shell.
We need to be sure that even lvmcache_info marked as invalid
is removed from the lvmcache so it does not confuse any subsequent
code/commands executed later on.
Problematic example with the lvm shell:
lvm> pvs
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/sda lvm2 --- 128.00m 128.00m
Before this patch (/dev/sda still displayed in a way):

CONVERTING status flag is a tricky one. It's not set when converting
a non-mirror LV type to the mirror type, i.e.: linear -> two leg mirror.
Also the conversion itself is instant and doesn't require to be polled.
When mirror reaches sync state there's no final update on VG metadata
for lvmpolld to be made thereby report_progress in fact doesn't report
percentage of mirror being converted but percentage of mirror
being in sync. Perhaps we should reword the lvconvert output here.
On the other hand CONVERTING is set while we upconvert the mirror
from i.e. two leg mirror to four leg mirror. In such case the operation
is required to be polled so that lvmpolld can cleanup temporary
conversion log when the conversion is over.
Ignore CONVERTING lv_type for the moment and match LVs only by uuids
during 'mirror conversion'/'waiting for a sync to finish'.
The new report/compact_output_cols setting has exactly the same effect
as report/compact_output setting. The difference is that with the new
setting it's possible to define which cols should be compacted exactly
in contrast to all cols in case of report/compact_output.
In case both compact_output and compact_output_cols is enabled/set,
the compact_output prevails.
For example:
$ lvmconfig --type full report/compact_output report/compact_output_cols
compact_output=0
compact_output_cols=""
$ lvs vg
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Meta% Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert
lvol0 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m

$ lvmconfig --type full report/compact_output report/compact_output_cols

$ lvs vg
LV VG Attr LSize Log Cpy%Sync Convert
lvol0 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m
---
$ lvmconfig --type full report/compact_output report/compact_output_cols

$ lvs vg

vgA
With this patch applied:
------------------------
(we end up with "vg" and "gA" names as they're unique already and no extra suffix is added)
$ # vgs -o vg_name
VG
gA
vg
vgA
Of course, if the name supplied is not unique, the number is added correctly:
$ dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=1M
$ vgimportclone -n vgA /dev/sdb
$ vgs -o vg_name
VG
vgA
vgA1
We can replace the expressions with awk/grep/cut/tr with --select now and
more suitable reporting options and modes. Also, we don't need to check
the temporary lvm.conf generated within vgimportclone script since we're
generating it ourselves now using lvmconfig, not using sed anymore like
it was before (so we can be pretty sure it's correct - we use lvmconfig
now even for generating the lvm.conf itself).
We already have pv_count to report number of PVs that a VG has based
on metadata.
This patch exposes the information about how many of these PVs are
missing which is also useful information for a VG. Wwe could count
the sum of pv_missing reporting fields for each PV in the VG before,
but the new field is practical when reporting VG as a whole and there's
no need to process each PV from VG alone.
Before this patch:
$ lvs -a -o name,layout,role test/lvmlock
LV Layout Role
[lvmlock] linear public
With this patch applied:
$ lvs -a -o name,layout,role test/lvmlock
LV Layout Role
[lvmlock] linear private,lockd,sanlock
Add metadata_devices and seg_metadata_le_ranges report fields.
Currently only defined for raid, but should probably be extended
to all other segment types that don't report all their device
usage in the 'devices' field.
We want most of our units to be started before any local/remote mount
points are mounted - we used {local,remote}-fs.target for this purpose
before, but it was not 100% correct as there's even {local,remote}-fs-pre.target
special systemd unit reserved for this exact purpose.
See also man 7 systemd.special and "local-fs-pre.target"/"remote-fs-pre.target"
description.
When using lvm shell, some structures which are cached in memory may be
reused. This happens for the struct label (a part of lvmcache_info
structure) when lvmetad is used in which case the PV scan is not
done that would normally overwrite these label structures in memory
and making them up-to-date.
This is all consequence of the fact that struct lvmcache_info and
struct label are not always assigned in the same part of the code.
For example, if lvmetad *is not* used, parts of the struct label are
reassigned in label_read fn while struct lvmcache_info is created
elsewhere. No part of the code reused struct label (and its "dev"
field) before calling label_read fn. That's why the real bug is
hidden when using lvm shell without lvmetad.
However, with lvmetad and lvm shell, the situation is a bit different.
The label_read fn is not called if lvmetad *is* used, hence the
struct label may have ended up not initialized properly.
There was missing assignment for the dev field in struct label
in _text_pv_write fn which caused this problem to appear in
lvm shell with lvmetad, for example:
Before this patch:
lvm> pvcreate /dev/sda
Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
lvm> pvs /dev/sda
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
unknown device lvm2 --- 128.00m 128.00m
With this patch applied:
lvm> pvcreate /dev/sda
Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
lvm> pvs /dev/sda
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/sda lvm2 --- 128.00m 128.00m
Also, this problem had not appeared before changes introduced
by commits e1a63905d1 through
3a6f91d713 which, among other
things, added proper label field type reporting. Before, label
reporting was the same as using struct physical_volume which
has its own dev field assigned and so this problem was not exposed.
Commit 00b36ef06a had a typo
and missed '{' for shell variable, thus command used slightly
different 'tmp' dir name for cache dir (with extra '}').
Such change was unnoticed until a recent fix in persistent
filter, lvm2 missed to update cache file when --config
was specified.
The result was, /tmp dir was accumulating snap.XXXXX} dirs when
running vgimportclose script.
Since we may want to swap names when LVs are complex types, we cannot
avoid doing full renames on both LV stacks.
Temporarily use 'pvmove_tmeta' as unused name to prevent validation troubles.
ATM allocation can't handle stripping and cache pool allocation.
It's not yet even clear what should be actually result.
Until resolved, disable this option (it's been coredumping
inside allocation anyway).
Certain stacks of cached LVs may have unexpected consequences.
So add a warning function called when LV is cached to detect
such caces and WARN user about them - the best we could do ATM.
When we insert layer we also move status flag-bits for certain LV types,
so internal volume_group structure remains consistent.
(Perhaps it's misuse of 'insert_layer' function and we should have
another similar function for this.)
Basically we aim to maintain the same state as after reading fresh
metadata out of volume group.
Currently we when i.e. cache 'raid' LV - this should transfer 'raidLV' flag
to _corigin LV and cache is no longer a raid.
TODO: bits for stacked devices needs more exact rules.
Commit f6473baffc introduced a new
cmd->initialized variable to keep info about which parts of the
cmd_context have been initialized.
A part of this patch was also a change in refresh_filters fn
which checks for cmd->initialized.filters variable and it does
the filter refresh *only* if the filter has already been initialized
before otherwise it's a NOOP (before, the refresh_filters also
initialized filters as a side effect in case it had not been
initialized before which was not quite correct).
However, the commit f6473baffc
did not handle the case in which configuration changes
either via --config argument or when configuration file changed
and its timestamp was higher than the timestamp of the persistent
cache file - the /etc/lvm/cache/.cache.
This patch fixes this issue and it causes the init_filters fn
in lvm_run_command fn to be called with proper value of
"load_persistent_cache" switch even if the configuration changes,
hence causing the persistent cache file to be ignored in this
case.
Relocate generated configure.h and lvm-version.h outside
of compilable .c source tree.
The reason is behind - when compiling in builddir != srcdir
the generated file in lib/misc/configure.h was used for all compiled
source file except ones located in lib/misc dir - those would have used
configure.h file located in this dir - if there have existed one (i.e.
from some other build)
This problem was only visible, when srcdir == buildir was used before
trying to use srcdri != builddir (as configure.h appeared then in
srcdir).
As part of fix that came with cf700151eb,
I forgot to add the check whether the result of stat was successful or
not. This bug caused uninitialized buffer to be used for entries
from .cache file which are no longer valid.
This bug may have caused these uninitialized values to be used further,
for example (see the unreal (2567,590944) representing major:minor
pair):
$ pvs
/dev/abc: stat failed: No such file or directory
Path /dev/abc no longer valid for device(2567,590944)
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/mapper/test lvm2 --- 104.00m 104.00m
/dev/vda2 rhel lvm2 a-- 9.51g 0
Since we may easily get blocked when checking for percentage
of thin-pool - do not flush and just show current values.
This avoids holding VG locked when pool is overfilled.
Try to detect thin-pool which my block lvm2 command from furher
processing (i.e. lvextend).
Check if pool is read-only or out-of-space and in this case thins
will skipped from being scanned (so user may miss some PVs located
on thin volumes).
Fix regression introduced with commit:
2fc126b00d
This commit has moved pv_min_size() test in front
of device_is_usable(). However pv_min_size needs to open device,
so it may have actually get blocked.
So restore the original order and first validate
dm device to be usable for open.
It's worth to note that such check is not 'race-free',
but it usually eliminates 99.99% of problems ;).
Previously all stderr messages issued by spawned lvpoll command were reported
as INFO only. This made all such messages invisible in syslog or lvmpolld log
while running default configuration.
All lvpoll stderr messages are loged with WARN priority now and lvpoll
command exiting with retcode != 0 is logged with ERROR priority in
syslog and lvmpolld log
Originally when vgdisplay encountered an exported VG it issued a
WARNING. Commit d6b1de30 replaced this with an error message
but still exited with success (incorrect). A backtrace was recently
added in commit b193809987.
As vgdisplay already states that the VG is exported in its output,
just drop these messages completely.
Since commit 797c18d543 some internal symbols
have been exported in shared libraries by mistake because 'local: *' got
lost. Fix the shell script not to compare the whole filename with
'Base'
All cache args could be specified when caching LV
(means converting LV to cached).
When --cachemode arg is given during cache-pool conversion,
store it in the metadata.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1255184
Since cache-pool actualy keeps info about caching,
display this info for cache-pool LV as well
(matches info for cache LV when cache-pool is asociated with it).
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.
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.
This is a regression introduced by commit
6c0e44d5a2 which changed
the way dev_cache_get fn works - before this patch, when a
device was not found, it fired a full rescan to correct the
cache. However, the change coming with that commit missed
this full_rescan call, causing the lvmcache to still contain
info about PVs which should be filtered now.
Such situation may have happened by coincidence of using
old persistent cache (/etc/lvm/cache/.cache) which does not
reflect the actual state anymore, a device name/symlink which
now points to a device which should be filtered and a fact we
keep info about usable DM devices in .cache no matter what
the filter setting is.
This bug could be hidden though by changes introduced in
commit f1a000a477 as it
calls full_rescan earlier before this problem is hit.
But we need to fix this anyway for the dev_cache_get
to be correct if we happen to use the same code path
again somewhere sometime.
For example, simple reproducer was (before commit
1a000a477558e157532d5f2cd2f9c9139d4f87c):
- /dev/sda contains a PV header with UUID y5PzRD-RBAv-7sBx-V3SP-vDmy-DeSq-GUh65M
- lvm.conf: filter = [ "r|.*|" ]
- rm -f .cache (to start with clean state)
- dmsetup create test --table "0 8388608 linear /dev/sda 0" (8388608 is
just the size of the /dev/sda device I use in the reproducer)
- pvs (this will create .cache file which contains
"/dev/disk/by-id/lvm-pv-uuid-y5PzRD-RBAv-7sBx-V3SP-vDmy-DeSq-GUh65M"
as well as "/dev/mapper/test" and the target node "/dev/dm-1" - all the
usable DM mappings (and their symlinks) get into the .cache file even
though the filter "is set to "ignore all" - we do this - so far it's OK)
- dmsetup remove test (so we end up with /dev/disk/by-id/lvm-pv-uuid-...
pointing to the /dev/sda now since it's the underlying device
containing the actual PV header)
- now calling "pvs" with such .cache file and we get:
$ pvs
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/disk/by-id/lvm-pv-uuid-y5PzRD-RBAv-7sBx-V3SP-vDmy-DeSq-GUh65M vg lvm2 a-- 4.00g 0
Even though we have set filter = [ "r|.*|" ] in the lvm.conf file!
Simply running concurrent copies of 'pvscan | true' is enough to make
clvmd freeze: pvscan exits on the EPIPE without first releasing the
global lock.
clvmd notices the client disappear but because the cleanup code that
releases the locks is triggered from within some processing after the
next select() returns, and that processing can 'break' after doing just
one action, it sometimes never releases the locks to other clients.
Move the cleanup code before the select.
Check all fds after select().
Improve some debug messages and warn in the unlikely event that
select() capacity could soon be exceeded.
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.

libblkid may return the list of signatures found, but it may not
provide offset and size for each signature detected. This may
happen in case signatures are mixed up or there are more, possibly
overlapping, signatures found.
Make lvm commands pass if such situation happens and we're using
--force (or any stronger force method).
For example:
$ pvcreate /dev/sda1
Failed to get offset of the xfs_external_log signature on /dev/sda1.
1 existing signature left on the device.
Aborting pvcreate on /dev/sda1.
$ pvcreate --force /dev/sda1
Failed to get offset of the xfs_external_log signature on /dev/sda1.
Physical volume "/dev/sda1" successfully created
A segfault was reported when extending an LV with a smaller number of
stripes than originally used. Under unusual circumstances, the cling
detection code could successfully find a match against the excess
stripe positions and think it had finished prematurely leading to an
allocation being pursued with a length of zero.
Rename ix_offset to num_positional_areas and move it to struct
alloc_state so that _is_condition() can obtain access to it.
In _is_condition(), areas_size can no longer be assumed to match the
number of positional slots being filled so check this newly-exposed
num_positional_areas directly instead. If the slot is outside the
range we are trying to fill, just ignore the match for now.
(Also note that the code still only performs cling detection against
the first segment of the LV.)
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.
If running lvmconf ... --startstopservice --mirrorservice in systemd
environment, handle lvm2-cmirrord accordingly. A typo in the script
caused the lvm2-cmirrord to not start/stop immediately, it was
only enabled/disabled (so the --startstopservice was ignored in this
case).
Existing messaging intarface for thin-pool has a few 'weak' points:
* Message were posted with each 'resume' operation, thus not allowing
activation of thin-pool with the existing state.
* Acceleration skipped suspend step has not worked in cluster,
since clvmd resumes only nodes which are suspended (have proper lock
state).
* Resume may fail and code is not really designed to 'fail' in this
phase (generic rule here is resume DOES NOT fail unless something serious
is wrong and lvm2 tool usually doesn't handle recovery path in this case.)
* Full thin-pool suspend happened, when taken a thin-volume snapshot.
With this patch the new method relocates message passing into suspend
state.
This has a few drawbacks with current API, but overal it performs
better and gives are more posibilities to deal with errors.
Patch introduces a new logic for 'origin-only' suspend of thin-pool and
this also relates to thin-volume when taking snapshot.
When suspend_origin_only operation is invoked on a pool with
queued messages then only those messages are posted to thin-pool and
actual suspend of thin pool and data and metadata volume is skipped.
This makes taking a snapshot of thin-volume lighter operation and
avoids blocking of other unrelated active thin volumes.
Also fail now happens in 'suspend' state where the 'Fail' is more expected
and it is better handled through error paths.
Activation of thin-pool is now not sending any message and leaves upto a tool
to decided later how to finish unfinished double-commit transaction.
Problem which needs some API improvements relates to the lvm2 tree
construction. For the suspend tree we do not add target table line
into the tree, but only a device is inserted into a tree.
Current mechanism to attach messages for thin-pool requires the libdm
to know about thin-pool target, so lvm2 currently takes assumption, node
is really a thin-pool and fills in the table line for this node (which
should be ensured by the PRELOAD phase, but it's a misuse of internal API)
we would possibly need to be able to attach message to 'any' node.
Other thing to notice - current messaging interface in thin-pool
target requires to suspend thin volume origin first and then send
a create message, but this could not have any 'nice' solution on lvm2
side and IMHO we should introduce something like 'create_after_resume'
message.
Patch also changes the moment, where lvm2 transaction id is increased.
Now it happens only after successful finish of kernel transaction id
change. This change was needed to handle properly activation of pool,
which is in the middle of unfinished transaction, and also this corrects
usage of thin-pool by external apps like Docker.
Recognize date and time specification within selection criteria
that is formulated in a more free-form way besides to the original
basic YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM format that libdevmapper supports.
Currently, this free-form format is recognized for lv_time field.
Users are able to use expressions from this set:
- weekday names ("Sunday" - "Saturday" or abbreviated as "Sun" - "Sat")
- labels for points in time ("noon", "midnight")
- labels for a day relative to current day ("today", "yesterday")
- points back in time with relative offset from today (N is a number)
( "N" "seconds"/"minutes"/"hours"/"days"/"weeks"/"years" "ago")
( "N" "secs"/"mins"/"hrs" ... "ago")
( "N" "s"/"m"/"h" ... "ago")
- time specification either in hh:mm:ss format or with AM/PM suffixes
- month names ("January" - "December" or abbreviated as "Jan" - "Dec")
For example:
$ date

...and so on.
dm_snprintf() returns upon success the number of characters printed
(excluding the null byte used to end output to strings).
So add extra byte to preserve \0.
This fixes regression when displaying more then a single lv name.
Make it possible to define format for time that is displayed.
The way the format is defined is equal to the way that is used
for strftime function, although not all formatting options as
used in strftime are available for LVM2 - the set is restricted
(e.g. we do not allow newline to be printed). The lvm.conf
comments contain the whole list that LVM2 accepts for time format
together with brief description (copied from strftime man page).
For example:
(defaults used - the format is the same as used before this patch)
$ lvs -o+time vg/lvol0 vg/lvol1
LV VG Attr LSize Time
lvol0 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m 2015-06-25 16:18:34 +0200
lvol1 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m 2015-06-29 09:17:11 +0200
(using 'time_format = "@%s"' in lvm.conf - number of seconds
since the Epoch)
$ lvs -o+time vg/lvol0 vg/lvol1
LV VG Attr LSize Time
lvol0 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m @1435241914
lvol1 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m @1435562231
Commit e587b0677b broke the build on
systems where /bin/sh is Dash, for example.
Origin patch by Ferenc Wágner <wferi@niif.hu> changed later to
avoid using shell call, so makefile add 'server' target when
one of metad or polld daemon is requested.
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.
Synchronize with udev logic before reusing device as snapshot.
This patch tries to fix the problem with udev, where we manage
to 'active' LV for clearing, then we deactivate such device and
active again as member of 'origin&snapshot' tree all in 1 step.
There needs to be a sync point where udev has time to remove all links,
otherwise we race with scans and we may end-up with mysterious 'free'
links in the system pointing to wrong dm names.
This patch tries to fix failing topology cluster tests..
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.
Use of display_lvname() in plain log_debug() may accumulate memory in
command context mempool. Use instead small ringbuffer which allows to
store cuple (10 ATM) names so upto 10 full names can be used at one.
We are not keeping full VG/LV names as it may eventually consume larger
amount of RAM resouces if vgname is longer and lots of LVs are in use.
Note: if there would be ever needed for displaing more names at once,
the limit should be raised (e.g. log_debug() would need to print more
then 10 LVs on a single line).
With thin-pool kernel target module 1.13 it's now support usage of
external origin with sizes which are not 'alligned' with chunk size
of thin-pool.
Enable lvm2 support for this and also fix reporting of data_percent
usage for case sizes are not alligned.
Note that this is just a quick fix and it needs more robust fix to
encompass any combination, not just the (old) snapshot one!
This started with this report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1219222
If we have devices/ignore_suspended_devices=1 set based on which we
filter out suspended devices as unusable (or if we ignore suspended
devices by force, e.g. during lvconvert called from dmeventd) and
when we have snapshot and snapshot origin devices in the play, we
need to look at their components unerneath (*-real and *-cow) to
check if they're not suspended. If they are, the snapshot/snapshot
origin is not usable as well and hence it needs to be filtered out
by filter-usable.c code which does suspended device filtering.
Not going into much details here, more details are in the bugzilla
mentioned above. However, this is a quick fix since snapshot
and this exact situation is not the only one. So this is
something that needs to be revisited and fixed properly
with full dm tree and checking the whole stack to state
whether the device at the very top is usable or not.
This patch fixes segfault which was caused by incorrectly marking some
settings CFG_DEFAULT_COMMENTED instead of CFG_DEFAULT_UNDEFINED - the
ones which have NULL default value, hence they're really undefined.
A regression caused by a98ceceb1d.
For example:
$ lvmconfig log/file
file="/a"
Before this patch:
$ lvmconfig --type diff
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
With this patch applied:
$ lvmconfig --type diff
log {
file="/a"
}
The same applies for these settings:
log/activate_file
global/library_dir
global/system_id_file
<disk_area>/disk_area_id
There were also other settings with NULL default value and marked as
CFG_DEFAULT_COMMENTED instead of CFG_DEFAULT_UNDEFINED, but they were
cfg_array config settings where the NULL value was not causing segfault
(NULL == empty array).
Commit b00711e312 improperly
convert _area_missing() replacment and moved check for
AREA_PV seg_type() into same if() section.

If lvmetad is not used, we generate lvm2-activation{-early,-net}.service
systemd services to activate any VGs found on the system. So far we used
--sysinit during this activation as polling was still forked off of the
lvm activation command.
This has changed with lvmpolld - we have proper lvmpolld systemd
service now (activated via its socket unit). As such, we don't need
to use --sysinit anymore during activation in systemd environment
as polling was the only barrier to remove the need for --sysinit.
as of now lvmpolld works as client utility for
querying running instance of lvmpolld server
on metadata, state, etc.
Currently the only request implemented is the '--dump'.
It prints out full lvmpolld state (mimics lvmdump -p command).
Configure provides proper settings for
use_lvmetad and use_lvmpolld conf setttings.
When the build of polld & lvmetad, these settings
are enabled by default unless explicitelly disabled
with --disable-use-lvmetad/--disable-use-lvmpolld.
