If lvmetad is running, and a command opts to not use it
(--config global/use_lvmetad=0), and the command changes
metadata, then the metadata change is not visible to
lvmetad. Subsequent commands using lvmetad to change
metadata may cause corruption based on the invalid
lvmetad state.
Eventually we can set the disabled state in lvmetad
to prevent this problem, but for now print a warning
about the possibility.
When command is not using lvmetad because
use_lvmetad=0 in the config, but the lvmetad
pidfile exists, print a warning (previously
this checked for the socket existing instead
of the pidfile existing.)
vg/snapshotN should not appear anywhere.
No code should be showing this, but it was noticed in some logs last
week and we can deal with it in display_lvname().
The lvmetad connection is created within the
init_connections() path during command startup,
rather than via the old lvmetad_active() check.
The old lvmetad_active() checks are replaced
with lvmetad_used() which is a simple check that
tests if the command is using/connected to lvmetad.
The old lvmetad_set_active(cmd, 0) calls, which
stopped the command from using lvmetad (to revert to
disk scanning), are replaced with lvmetad_make_unused(cmd).
After a device rescan that repopulates lvmetad,
if no reason for disabling lvmetad was seen
(lvm1 metadata or duplicate PVs), then clear
the disabled flag in lvmetad. This allows
commands to resume using the lvmetad cache
after the cause for disabling it has been removed.
Commands already check if the lvmetad token is valid,
and if not, they rescan devices to repopulate lvmetad
before running. Now, in addition to checking the
lvmetad token, they also check if the lvmetad disabled
flag is set. If so, they do not use the lvmetad cache
and revert to disk scanning.
A global flag in lvmetad indicates it has been disabled.
Other flags indicate the reason it was disabled.
These flags can be queried using get_global_info.
The lvmetactl debugging utility can set and clear the
disabled flag in lvmetad. Nothing else sets the
disabled flag yet.
Commands will check these flags after connecting to
lvmetad. If the disabled flag is set, the command
will not use the lvmetad cache, but revert to disk
scanning.
To test this feature:
$ lvmetactl get_global_info
response = "OK"
global_invalid = 0
global_disable = 0
disable_reason = "none"
token = "filter:3041577944"
$ vgs
(should report VGs from lvmetad)
$ lvmetactl set_global_disable 1
$ lvmetactl get_global_info
response = "OK"
global_invalid = 0
global_disable = 1
disable_reason = "DIRECT"
token = "filter:3041577944"
$ vgs
WARNING: Not using lvmetad because the disable flag was set directly.
(should report VGs without contacting lvmetad)
$ lvmetactl set_global_disable 0
$ vgs
(should report VGs from lvmetad)
Improve code for snapshot merge for readabilty
and also reduce number of tests needed to decide
if merging can or cannot be started.
(Further improving 9cccf5245a)
To recognize in runtime if we are merging or not
to make consistent decision between suspend and resume
add function to parse thin table line when add
merging thin device to the table.
A snapshot merge into its origin cannot be initiated while the devices
are in use. If there is outside interference (such as from udev),
the suspend (preload) and resume stages can reach conflicting decisions
about whether or not to proceed.
Try to make the logic more robust by checking the inactive or live
table during resume. (This is still not perfect.)
Move checking the lvmetad state, and the possible rescan,
out of lvmetad_send() to the start of the command.
Previously, the token mismatch and rescan would occur
within lvmetad_send() for some other request. Now,
the token mismatch is detected earlier, so the
rescan can be done before the main command is in
progress. Rescanning deep within the processing of
another command will disturb the lvmcache state of
that other command.
A rescan already exists at the start of the command
for the case where foreign VGs are going to be read.
This same rescan is now also performed when there is
an lvmetad token mismatch (from a changed global_filter).
The commands pvscan/vgscan/lvscan/vgimport are excluded
from this preemptive checking/rescanning for lvmetad
because they want to do rescanning themselves explicitly.
If rescanning devices fails, then lvmetad has not been
correctly repopulated and should not be used, so make
the command revert to not using lvmetad.
When not obtaining device from udev, we are doing deep devdir scan,
and at the same time we try to insert everything what /sys/dev/block
knows about. However in case lvm2 is configured to use nonstardard
devdir this way it will see (and scan) devices from a real system.
lvm2 test suite is using its own test devdir with its
own device nodes. To avoid touching real /dev devices, validate
the device node exist in give dir and do not insert such device
into a cache.
With obtain list from udev this patch has no effect
(the normal user path).
We have _insert_dirs() for udev and non-udev compilation.
Compiling without udev missed to call dev_cache_index_devs().
Move the call after _insert_dirs() call so both compilation
gets it.
When scanning if device is being usable as PV,
we call STATUS - but this status should not cause
any flushing.
Skip also open_count information as it's not needed.
We don't have any report field of this type yet. Return this patch into
the play if we really need that. Currenly we always report status
(result of "status" dm ioctl) for an LV as a whole where we choose
segment which represents the LV, not calling status for each possible
segment it contains - we don't need this now so I'm removing it to
not make the code more complex uselessly.
Devices without "LVM-" uuid prefix have been generated by very old
version of lvm2 2.00 and 2.01.
Since version 2.02 all lvm2 devices are using prefix "LVM-".
However checking for present of ancient non prefixed devices does
take extra IOCTL per every call and for majority of todays user
it will not find anything new.
So use the assumption that users with kernel 3.X and newer are not
really using such old versions of lvm2 (year <2005) and with their
new kernel they are also using new version of lvm2 and skip
checking for them.
This change also makes trace logs more readable.
When leaving preload routine it should not altet state of flush required
when it's been already set to 1 and drop it to 0.
The API here is unclean, but current usage expects the same
variable pointer is for all preload calls and combines 'flush_required'
across all of them.
Commit 844b009584 tried to move
limit for usage of noflush to 'preload' however this was not
correctly processed.
Intead explicitly check for which types we do not want noflush
and also add debug message in this case.
Fix regression caused by commit ba41ee1dc9.
The idea was to use no_flush for changed device only for thin volumes
and thin pools but also to merge this with change made in commit
844b009584.
However the resulting condition has caused misbehavior for the mirror
suspend - as that has been before the ONLY allowed target type
that could have been suspended with noflush.
Result was badly working repair for --type mirror that has been
passing 'flush' to the repaired mirror target whenever preload
wrongly set flush_required.
The origin code has required the flush_required to be set whenever
deivce size is changed.
Now it first detects if device size got smaller
'dm_tree_node_size_changed(root) < 0' - this requires flush.
Otherwise it checks device is not thin volume nor thin pool and its
size has changed (got bigger) and requires flush.
This mean upsize of thin-pool or thin volume will not require flush.
/sys/dev/block is available since kernel version 2.2.26 (~ 2008):
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-dev
The VGID/LVID indexing code relies on this feature so skip indexing
if it's not available to avoid error messages about inability to open
/sys/dev/block directory.
We're not going to provide fallback code to read the /sys/block/
instead in this case as that's not that efficient - it needs extra
reads for getting major:minor and reading partitions would also
pose further reads and that's not worth it.
If compiling without udev_sync support, udev_get_library_context simply
returns NULL so we don't need to remember putting ifdef UDEV_SYNC_SUPPORT
in the code all the time we just need to check whether there's any udev
context initialized or not.
If obtain_device_list_from_udev=0, LVM can make use of persistent .cache
file. This cache file contains only devices which underwent filters in
previous LVM command run. But we need to iterate over all block devices
to create the VGID/LVID index completely for the device mismatch check
to be complete as well.
This patch iterates over block devices found in sysfs to generate the
VGID/LVID index in dev cache if obtain_device_list_from_udev=0
(if obtain_device_list_from_udev=1, we always read complete list of
block devices from udev and we ignore .cache file so we don't need
to look in sysfs for the complete list).
For the case when we print device name associated with struct device
that was not found in /dev, but in sysfs, for example when printing
devices where LV device mismatch is found.
Use meta% to expose highest mapped sector in thinLV.
so showing there 100.00% means thinLV maps latest sector.
Currently using a 'trick' with total_numerator to pass-in
device size when 'seg==NULL'
TODO: Improve device status API per target - current 'percentage'
is not really extensible.
Previous fix missed the fact the we do query for 'percent' with
seg value either set or unset (API overload...)
When 'seg' was unset, we still issue flush with status.
Fix it by cheking segtype by target_type.
As we check for segtype - we could also skip whole percentage
if the 'segtype' is unknown by code directly.

It's correct to have a DM device that has no DM UUID assigned
so no need to issue error message in this case. Also, if the
device doesn't have DM UUID, it's also clear it's not an LVM LV
(...when looking for VGID/LVID while creating VGID/LVID indices
in dev cache).
For example:
$ dmsetup create test --table "0 1 linear /dev/sda 0"
And there's no PV in the system.
Before this patch (spurious error message issued):
$ pvs
_get_sysfs_value: /sys/dev/block/253:2/dm/uuid: no value
With this patch applied (no spurious error message):
$ pvs
If we're using persistent .cache file, we're reading this file instead
of traversing the /dev content. Fix missing indexing by VGID and LVID
here - hook this into persistent_filter_load where we populate device
cache from persistent .cache file instead of scanning /dev.
For example, inducing situation in which we warn about different device
actually used than what LVM thinks should be used based on metadata:
$ lsblk -s /dev/vg/lvol0
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
vg-lvol0 253:4 0 124M 0 lvm
`-loop1 7:1 0 128M 0 loop
$ lvmconfig --type diff
global {
use_lvmetad=0
}
devices {
obtain_device_list_from_udev=0
}
(obtain_device_list_from_udev=0 also means the persistent .cache file is used)
Before this patch - pvs is fine as it does the dev scan, but lvs relies
on persistent .cache file and it misses the VGID/LVID indices to check
and warn about incorrect devices used:
$ pvs

With this patch applied - both pvs and lvs is fine - the indices are
always created correctly (lvs just an example here, other LVM commands
that rely on persistent .cache file are fixed with this patch too):

It's possible that while a device is already referenced in sysfs, the node
is not yet in /dev directory.
This may happen in some rare cases right after LVs get created - we sync
with udev (or alternatively we create /dev content ourselves) while VG
lock is held. However, dev scan is done without VG lock so devices may
already be in sysfs, but /dev may not be updated yet if we call LVM command
right after LV creation (so the fact that fs_unlock is done within VG
lock is not usable here much). This is not a problem with devtmpfs as
there's at least kernel name for device in /dev as soon as the sysfs
item exists, but we still support environments without devtmpfs or
where different directory for dev nodes is used (e.g. our test suite).
This patch covers these situations by tracking such devices in
_cache.sysfs_only_names helper hash for the vgid/lvid check to work still.
This also resolves commit 6129d2e64d
which was then reverted by commit 109b7e2095
due to performance issues it may have brought (...and it didn't resolve
the problem fully anyway).
dmeventd daemon may call further code itself that looks at /dev, e.g.
via dmeventd_lvm2_command call. We need to have a consistent view of
the /dev content at that time. Therefore, sync /dev content before
calling monitoring hook which contacts dmeventd.
This problem was quite hidden before, but now it has manifested itself
because of recent additions to dev-cache code where we started looking
at device holders as seen in sysfs. What happened here was that the
device was already in sysfs, but not yet under /dev and this triggered
the new error message sometimes:
log_error("%s: failed to find associated device structure for holder %s.", devname, devpath);
This problem has manifested recently in our api/pytest.sh test from
testsuite where we create thin pool LVs and thin LVs and hence it also
causes dmeventd to be used as well and these error messages were
visible there.
UUID for LV is either "LVM-<vg_uuid><lv_uuid>" or "LVM-<vg_uuid><lv_uuid>-<suffix>".
The code before just checked the length of the UUID based on the first
template, not the variant with suffix - so LVs with this suffix were not
processed properly.
For example a thin pool LV (as an example of an LV that contains
sub LVs where UUIDs have suffixes):
[0] fedora/~ # lsblk -s /dev/vg/lvol1
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
vg-lvol1 253:8 0 4M 0 lvm

`-vg-pool_tdata 253:3 0 116M 0 lvm

Before this patch (spurious warning message about device mismatch):
[0] fedora/~ # pvs

Check if the value we read from sysfs is not blank and replace the '\n'
at the end only when needed ('\n' should usually be there for sysfs values,
but better check this).
It's possible for an LVM LV to use a device during activation which
then differs from device which LVM assumes based on metadata later on.
For example, such device mismatch can occur if LVM doesn't have
complete view of devices during activation or if filters are
misbehaving or they're incorrectly set during activation.
This patch adds code that can detect this mismatch by creating
VG UUID and LV UUID index while scanning devices for device cache.
The VG UUID index maps VG UUID to a device list. Each device in the
list has a device layered above as a holder which is an LVM LV device
and for which we know the VG UUID (and similarly for LV UUID index).
We can acquire VG and LV UUID by reading /sys/block/<dm_dev_name>/dm/uuid.
So these indices represent the actual state of PV device use in
the system by LVs and then we compare that to what LVM assumes
based on metadata.
For example:
[0] fedora/~ # lsblk /dev/sdq /dev/sdr /dev/sds /dev/sdt
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sdq 65:0 0 104M 0 disk
|-vg-lvol0 253:2 0 200M 0 lvm
`-mpath_dev1 253:3 0 104M 0 mpath
sdr 65:16 0 104M 0 disk
`-mpath_dev1 253:3 0 104M 0 mpath
sds 65:32 0 104M 0 disk
|-vg-lvol0 253:2 0 200M 0 lvm
`-mpath_dev2 253:4 0 104M 0 mpath
sdt 65:48 0 104M 0 disk
`-mpath_dev2 253:4 0 104M 0 mpath
In this case the vg-lvol0 is mapped onto sdq and sds becauset this is
what was available and seen during activation. Then later on, sdr and
sdt appeared and mpath devices were created out of sdq+sdr (mpath_dev1)
and sds+sdt (mpath_dev2). Now, LVM assumes (correctly) that mpath_dev1
and mpath_dev2 are the PVs that should be used, not the mpath
components (sdq/sdr, sds/sdt).

Commit b64703401d cause regression
when handling stacked resize of pool metadata volume that would
be a raid LV.
Fix it by properly setting up size also for layer extension.
Recent kernel (4.4) start to report values smaller then sector size
(but in reporting size for SSD which support data zeroing on discard).
For now log warning and assume it really means 1 sector.
Addressing RHBZ:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1313377
There's a window between doing VG read and checking PV device size
against real device size. If the device is removed in this window,
the dev cache still holds struct device and pv->dev still references
that and that PV is not marked as missing. However, if we're trying
to get size for such device, the open fails because that device
doesn't exists anymore.
We called existing pv_dev_size in _check_pv_dev_sizes fn. But
pv_dev_size assigned a size of 0 if the dev_get_size it called failed
(because the device is gone).
So call the dev_get_size directly and check for the return code
in _check_pv_dev_sizes and go further only if we really know the
device size. This is to avoid confusing warning messages like:
Device /dev/sdd1 has size of 0 sectors which is smaller than corresponding PV size of 31455207 sectors. Was device resized?
One or more devices used as PVs in VG helter_skelter have changed sizes.
Specifying an output width of 0 now leads to a default minimum width
taken from the width of the column heading. (Most fields should use
this.)
Components of field names are generally separated by underscores (which
are optional at run-time). (Dropped 3 duplicate fields now covered by
this rule.)
Each field heading must be unique and generally doesn't have spaces
between words (which get capitalised) unless they are already short and
the fields are normally longer or clarity demands it.
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.
The code in _print_historical_lv function works with temporary
"descendants_buffer" that is allocated and freed within this
function.
When printing text out, we used "outf" macro which called
"out_text" fn and it checked return value and if failed,
the macro called "return_0" automatically. But since we
use the temporary buffer, if any of the out_text calls
fails, we need to deallocate this buffer properly - that's
the "goto_out", otherwise we'll be leaking memory.
So add new "outfgo" helper macro which does the same as "outf",
but it calls "goto_out" instead of "return_0" so we can jump
to a cleanup hook at the end.
Historical LV is valid as long as there is at least one live LV among
its ancestors. If we find any invalid (dangling) historical LVs, remove
them automatically.
The vg_strip_outdated_historical_lvs iterates over the list of historical LVs
we have and it shoots down the ones which are outdated.
Configuration hook to set the timeout will be in subsequent patch.
The metadata/record_lvs_history is global switch which enables or
disables recording historical LVs in metadata.
If both metadata/record_lvs_history=1 lvm.conf option and
--nohistory command switch is used at the same time, the
--nohistory prevails.
Report proper values for historical LVs in lv_layout and lv_role fields.
Any historical LV doesn't have any layout anymore and the role is "history".
For example:
$ lvs -H -o name,lv_attr,lv_layout,lv_role vg/-lvol1
LV Attr Layout Role
-lvol1 ----h----- none public,history
The lv_full_ancestors reporting field is just like the existing
lv_ancestors field but it also takes into account any history and
indirect relations recorded.
All names for historical LVs are prefixed with '-' character to make clear
difference between live and historical LVs. The '-' can't be set by users
for live LV names during lvcreate hence we never get into a conflict with
the names that user defines for live LVs.
The lv_historical reporting field is a simple binary field that reports
whether an LV is historical one ("historical" value or value of "1" displayed)
or not (blank string "" or value of "0" displayed).
This patch adds "include_historical_lvs" field to struct cmd_context to
make it possible for the command to switch between original funcionality
where no historical LVs are processed and functionality where historical
LVs are taken into account (and reported or processed further). The switch
between these modes is done using the '-H|--history' switch on command
line.
The include_historical_lvs state is then passed to process_each_* fns
using the "include_historical_lvs" field within struct processing_handle.
Add support for making an interconnection between thin LV segment and
its indirect origin (which may be historical or live LV) - add a new
"indirect_origin" argument to attach_pool_lv function.
Also export historical LVs when exporting LVM2 metadata.
This is list of all historical LVs listed in
"historical_logical_volumes" metadata section with all
the properties exported for each historical LV.
For example, we have this thin snapshot sequence:
lvol1 --> lvol2 --> lvol3
\
--> lvol4
We end up with these metadata:
logical_volume {
...
(lvol1, lvol3 and lvol4 listed here as usual - no change here)
...
}
historical_logical_volumes {
lvol2 {
id = "S0Dw1U-v5sF-LwAb-W9SI-pNOF-Madd-5dxSv5"
creation_time = 1456919613 # 2016-03-02 12:53:33 +0100
removal_time = 1456919620 # 2016-03-02 12:53:40 +0100
origin = "lvol1"
descendants = ["lvol3", "lvol4"]
}
}
By removing lvol1 further, we end up with:
historical_logical_volumes {
lvol2 {
id = "S0Dw1U-v5sF-LwAb-W9SI-pNOF-Madd-5dxSv5"
creation_time = 1456919613 # 2016-03-02 12:53:33 +0100
removal_time = 1456919620 # 2016-03-02 12:53:40 +0100
origin = "-lvol1"
descendants = ["lvol3", "lvol4"]
}
lvol1 {
id = "me0mes-aYnK-nRfT-vNlV-UiR1-GP7r-ojbROr"
creation_time = 1456919608 # 2016-03-02 12:53:28 +0100
removal_time = 1456919767 # 2016-03-02 12:56:07 +0100
}
}
When an LV is being removed, we create an instance of
"struct historical_logical_volume" wrapped up in
"struct generic_logical_volume".
All instances of "struct historical_logical_volume" are then recorded in
"historical_lvs" list which is part of "struct volume_group".
The "historical LV" is then interconnected with "live LVs" to
connect a history chain for the live LV.
The add_glv_to_indirect_glvs is a helper function that registers a
volume represented by struct generic_logical_volume instance ("glv")
as an indirect user of another volume ("origin_glv") and vice versa -
it also registers the other volume ("origin_glv") as indirect_origin
of user volume ("glv").
The remove_glv_from_indirect_glvs does the opposite.
The get_or_create_glv is helper function that retrieves any existing
generic_logical_volume wrapper for the LV. If the wrapper does not exist
yet, it's created.
The get_org_create_glvl is the same as get_or_create_glv but it creates
the glv_list wrapper in addition so it can be added to a list.
Add new structures and new fields in existing structures to support
tracking history of LVs (the LVs which don't exist - the have been
removed already):
- new "struct historical_logical_volume"
This structure keeps information specific to historical LVs
(historical LV is very reduced form of struct logical_volume +
it contains a few specific fields to track historical LV
properties like removal time and connections among other LVs).
- new "struct generic_logical_volume"
Wrapper for "struct historical_logical_volume" and
"struct logical_volume" to make it possible to handle volumes
in uniform way, no matter if it's live or historical one.
- new "struct glv_list"
Wrapper for "struct generic_logical_volume" so it can be
added to a list.
- new "indirect_glvs" field in "struct logical_volume"
List that stores references to all indirect users of this LV - this
interconnects live LV with historical descendant LVs or even live
descendant LVs.
- new "indirect_origin" field in "struct lv_segment"
Reference to indirect origin of this segment - this interconnects
live LV (segment) with historical ancestor.
- new "this_glv" field in "struct logical_volume"
This references an existing generic_logical_volume wrapper for this
LV, if used. It can be NULL if not needed - which means we're not
handling historical LVs at all.
- new "historical_lvs" field in "struct volume group
List of all historical LVs read from VG metadata.
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.)
Make the data_alignment variable 64 bits so it
can hold the invalid command line arg used in
pvreate-usage.sh pvcreate --dataalignment 1e.
On 32 bit arches, the smaller variable wouldn't
hold the invalid value so the error would not
trigger as expected by the test.
"pvcreate_each_params" was a temporary name used
to transition from the old "pvcreate_params".
Remove the old pvcreate_params struct and rename the
new pvcreate_each_params struct to pvcreate_params.
Rename various pvcreate_each_params terms to simply
pvcreate_params.
Use the new pvcreate_each_device() function from
toollib, previously added for pvcreate, in place
of the old pvcreate_vol().
This also requires shifting the location where the
lock is acquired for the new VG name. The lock for
the new VG is supposed to be acquired before pvcreate.
This means splitting the vg_lock_newname() out of
vg_create(), and calling vg_lock_newname() directly
before pvcreate, and then calling the remainder of
vg_create() after pvcreate.
The new function vg_lock_and_create() now does
vg_lock_newname() + vg_create(), like the previous
version of vg_create().
The lock on the new VG name is released before the
pvcreate and reacquired after the pvcreate because
pvcreate needs to reset lvmcache, which doesn't work
when locks are held. An exception could likely be
made for the new VG name lock, which would allow
vgcreate to hold the new VG name lock across the
pvcreate step.
This is common code for handling PV create/remove
that can be shared by pvcreate/vgcreate/vgextend/pvremove.
This does not change any commands to use the new code.
- Pull out the hidden equivalent of process_each_pv
into an actual top level process_each_pv.
- Pull the prompts to the top level, and do not
run any prompts while locks are held.
The orphan lock is reacquired after any prompts are
done, and the devices being created are checked for
any change made while the lock was not held.
Previously, pvcreate_vol() was the shared function for
creating a PV for pvcreate, vgcreate, vgextend.
Now, it will be toollib function pvcreate_each_device().
pvcreate_vol() was called effectively as a helper, from
within vgcreate and vgextend code paths.
pvcreate_each_device() will be called at the same level
as other process_each functions.
One of the main problems with pvcreate_vol() is that
it included a hidden equivalent of process_each_pv for
each device being created:
pvcreate_vol() -> _pvcreate_check() ->
find_pv_by_name() -> get_pvs() ->
get_pvs_internal() -> _get_pvs() -> get_vgids() ->
/* equivalent to process_each_pv */
dm_list_iterate_items(vgids)
vg = vg_read_internal()
dm_list_iterate_items(&vg->pvs)
pvcreate_each_device() reorganizes the code so that
each-VG-each-PV loop is done once, and uses the standard
process_each_pv function at the top level of the function.
This uses the vg->pv_write_list in place of the
vg->pvs_to_write list, and eliminates the use of
pvcreate_params. The label remove and zeroing
steps are shifted out of vg_write() to the higher
level like pvcreate will do.
The vg->pv_write_list contains pv_list structs for which
vg_write() should call pv_write().
The new list will replace vg->pvs_to_write that contains
vg_to_create structs which are used to perform higher-level
pvcreate-related operations. The higher level pvcreate
operations will be moved out of vg_write() to higher levels.
Since we already check in few other places 'info' is not NULL,
do the same for others - however when info would be NULL
it more or less looks like internal error.
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

Ask for confirmation when using pvcreate/pvremove on a PV which is
marked as belonging to a VG, just like we do in case of a PV which
belongs to known VG:
$ pvcreate -ff /dev/sda
Really INITIALIZE physical volume "/dev/sda" that is marked as belonging to a VG [y/n]? n
/dev/sda: physical volume not initialized
$ pvremove -ff /dev/sda
Really WIPE LABELS from physical volume "/dev/sda" that is marked as belonging to a VG [y/n]? n
/dev/sda: physical volume label not removed
The host that owns foreign VGs is responsible for fixing up PV_EXT_USED
flag - the same already applies to repairing any inconsistent VG.
This patch also moves the iteration over vg->pvs inside
_check_or_repair_pv_ext fn - it's cleaner this way.
pv->vg is not set yet during pvcreate processing. Use pv->fmt instead to
check for these fake PVs (all normal PVs have format defined, devices
which are not PVs don't have this set).
This fixes commit 0000db7f98.
Some of the PVs are not even orphan PVs - they're fake PVs - this can
happen if we're listing all devices with "pvs -a". Such PV must not
be marked as used.
The backup_restore_vg is used directly for restoring the VG from backup.
It's also used to do the VG conversions from one metadata format to
another which means vgconvert calls backup_restore_vg too.
When restoring VG from backup, we need to rewrite/write PV headers as
PVs may have been orphans before and now they're becoming part of some
VG - we need to write the PV_EXT_USED flag at least.
When using the backup_restore_vg for vgconvert, we need to write
completely new PV header in different format.
Avoid the special "pv_write" call and handling that was used before
this patch in vgconvert (vgconvert_single function to be more precise)
and reuse existing internal interface to register PV header for writing
(or rewriting) via vg->pvs_to_write list instead like we do it elsewhere
in the code.
This patch also resolves a problem in which PV headers with target
format were written in the vgconvert_single fn as orphans and VG
metadata were added later on - this was a tiny hack actually.
We can't do this now - we need to write the PV as belonging
to a VG because otherwise the PV_EXT_USED flag won't be written
properly (if the PV header is written as orphan, the PV_EXT_USED
is set to 0, of course, even though metadata are attached later).
So this patch removes this tiny inconsistency which was passing
just fine before because we didn't have any relation to the VG
in PV header before. Now we have the PV_EXT_USED flag which says
the "PV is used in some VG".
The same check as we already do for orphan PVs, just the other way
round now: if the PV is surely part of some VG and any PV the VG
contains does not have the PV_EXT_USED flag set, repair it.
For example - /dev/sda here is in VG vg and it's incorrectly not
marked as used by PV_EXT_USED flag:
pvs --binary -o pv_ext_vsn,pv_in_use
WARNING: Volume Group vg is not consistent.
WARNING: Repairing Physical Volume /dev/sda that is in Volume Group vg but not marked as used.
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree ExtVsn PInUse
/dev/sda vg lvm2 a-- 124.00m 124.00m 2 1
PV header extension versions:
0 - the original PV without any extensions
1 - bootloader area support added
2 - PV_EXT_USED flag support added
So do the associated checks related to PV_EXT_USED flag only if
PV header extension found is of version 2 and higher.
If we know that the PV is orphan, meaning there's at least one MDA on
that PV which does not reference any VG and at the same time there's
PV_EXT_USED flag set, we're certainly in an inconsistent state and we
need to fix this.
For example, such situation can happen during vgremove/vgreduce if we
removed/reduced the VG, but we haven't written PV headers yet because
vgremove stopped abruptly for whatever reason just before writing new
PV headers with updated state, including PV extension flags (and so the
PV_EXT_USED flag).
However, in case the PV has no MDAs at all, we can't double-check
whether the PV_EXT_USED is correct or not - if that PV is marked
as used, it's either:
- really used (but other disks with MDAs are missing)
- or the error state as described above is hit
User needs to overwrite the PV header directly if it's really clear
the PV having no MDAs does not belong to any VG and at the same time
it's still marked as being in use (pvcreate -ff <dev_name> will fix this).
For example - /dev/sda here has 1 MDA, orphan and is incorrectly marked
with PV_EXT_USED flag:
$ pvs --binary -o+pv_in_use
WARNING: Found inconsistent standalone Physical Volumes.
WARNING: Repairing flag incorrectly marking Physical Volume /dev/sda as used.
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree InUse

For example:
$ pvs -o pv_name,vg_name,pv_in_use
PV VG InUse
/dev/sda vg used
/dev/sdb
/dev/sdc used
(sda is part of vg - it's used
sdb is not part of vg - it's not used
sdc is part of vg, but MDAs missing - it's used)
Scenario:
$ pvcreate /dev/sda
Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
We're adding the PV to a VG.
Before this patch:
$ vgcreate vg /dev/sda
Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
Volume group "vg" successfully created
With this path applied:
$ vgcreate vg /dev/sda
Volume group "vg" successfully created
...and verbose log containing: "Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully written"
Make sure we won't use a PV that is already marked as used. Normally,
VG metadata would stop us from doing that, but we can run into a
situation where such metadata is missing because PVs with MDAs
are missing and the PVs left are the ones with 0 MDAs.
(/dev/sda in this example has 0 MDAs and it belongs to a VG,
but other PVs with MDA are missing)
$ pvs -o pv_name,pv_mda_count /dev/sda

/dev/sda 0
$ pvcreate /dev/sda

(If you are certain you need pvremove, then confirm by using --force twice.)
$ vgcreate vg /dev/sda
Physical volume '/dev/sda' is marked as belonging to a VG but its metadata is missing.
Unable to add physical volume '/dev/sda' to volume group 'vg'.
We'll use this struct in subsequent patches for PVs which should
be rewritten, not just created. So rename struct pv_to_create to
struct pv_to_write for clarity.

Simplify calculation of extents rounding needed for
segment size.
Segment size has to divisible by 'extent count' needed to contain
whole stripe. LVM currently does not support stripes across segment.
In case the stripe size is bigger then extent size,
require bigger rounding.
'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:

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).
lvm1 and pool format do not support bootloader areas and we need to
remove any existing associated bootloader areas when we read lvm1 and
pool labels.
This has its importance if we're converting from one format to another
and we're reusing lvmcache in long-running commands (e.g. clvmd or lvm
shell) and we need to make lvmcache consistent and valid for current format.
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.
The extent size must fits all blocks in 4294967295 sectors
(in 512b units) this is 1/2 KiB less then 2TiB.
So while previous statement 'suggested' 2TiB is still acceptable value,
make it clear it's not.
As now we support any multiples of 128KB as extent size -
values like 2047G will still 'flow-in' otherwise the largest power-of-2
supported value is 1TiB.
With 1TiB user needs 8388608 extents for 8EiB device.
(FYI such device is already unusable with todays glibc-2.22.90-27)
4GiB extent size is currently the smallest extent size which allows
a user to create 8EiB devices (with 2GiB it's less then 8EiB).
TODO: lvm2 may possibly print amount of 'lost/unused space' on a PV,
since using such ridiculously sized extent size may result in huge
space being left unaccessible.
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.
The associated devices,metadata_devices,seg_pe_ranges and
seg_metadata_le_ranges are reported as genuine string lists now.
This allows for using the items separately in -S|--select
(so searching for subsets etc.) and also it allows for
configuring the separator using report/list_item_separator
which may be useful in scripts (however, we'll enable this
only for seg_le_metadata_ranges and not for devices,seg_pe_ranges
and seg_metadata_devices for compatibility reasons - see following
patch).
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.
This reverts e28e22b9e1
The problem that that commit was fixing (pytest failure)
no longer appears with the current code, so the commit is
not needed.
That commit is a problem for pvchange, because it prevents
lvmcache from retaining VG metadata even while the global
lock is held. pvchange holds the global lock to ensure
that VG metadata is kept in lvmcache throughout processing.
If the cache is not kept, a PV with zero MDAs will appear
first in its actual VG and then appear again in the orphan VG.
It wrongly appears a second time in the orphan VG only if
the actual VG is dropped from lvmcache.
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.
Internal _alloc_init() is only called from allocate_extents(),
which already does prevent usage of virtual segments.
So mark as internal error early and do not process it any further.
Add new test for lv_is_snapshot().
Also move few other bitchecks into same place as remaining bit tests.

Do not mix dm_report_field_set_value and _field_set_value and

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.
Have commands send lvmlockd the update message
in vg_write instead of vg_commit, so that it's
not done while LVs are suspended. If the vg_write
is not committed, and the seqno sent to lvmlockd
is not used, then lvmlockd can detect this when
the next update uses the same seqno.
Use process_each_vg() to lock and read the old VG,
and then call the main vgrename code.
When real VG names are used (not a UUID in place of the
old name), the command still pre-locks the new name
(when strcmp wants it locked first), before calling
process_each_vg on the old name.
In the case where the old name is replaced with a UUID,
process_each_vg now translates that UUID into the real
VG name, which it locks and reads. In this case, we
cannot do pre-locking to maintain lock ordering because
the old name is unknown. So, in this case the strcmp
based lock ordering is suppressed and the old name is
always locked first. This opens a remote chance for
lock ordering conflict between racing vgrenames between
two names where one or both commands use the UUID.
Before commit c1f246fedf,
_get_all_devices() did a full device scan before
get_vgnameids() was called. The full scan in
_get_all_devices() is from calling dev_iter_create(f, 1).
The '1' arg forces a full scan.
By doing a full scan in _get_all_devices(), new devices
were added to dev-cache before get_vgnameids() began
scanning labels. So, labels would be read from new devices.
(e.g. by the first 'pvs' command after the new device appeared.)
After that commit, _get_all_devices() was called
after get_vgnameids() was finished scanning labels.
So, new devices would be missed while scanning labels.
When _get_all_devices() saw the new devices (after
labels were scanned), those devices were added to
the .cache file. This meant that the second 'pvs'
command would see the devices because they would be
in .cache.
Now, the full device scan is factored out of
_get_all_devices() and called by itself at the
start of the command so that new devices will
be known before get_vgnameids() scans labels.
Since we mark cache-pool as 'hidden/private' while it is in-use,
we may still allow user to change it's name.
It should not cause any harm and user may prefer better naming
for a cache-pool in use.
It's getting a bit more complex here.
Basic idea behind is - check_current_backup() should not
log error when a user is using a read-only filesystem,
so e.g. vgscan will not report any error when it tries
to take missing backup.
We still have cases when error could be reported though,
e.g. the backup this would be a symbolic link, but these
are rather misconfiguration and unexpected case.
We have to modes of 'archive()' usage -
1. compulsory - fail stops command and user may try '-An' option
to do a command.
2. non-compulsory - some fails in archiving are ignorable (i.e.
read-only filesystem where archive dir is located).
Those 2 cases needs to be properly handle - i.e. the non-compulsory
logging should not be tampering error logging message production.
So more work here is needed
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.
When two different VGs with the same name exist,
they are both stored in lvmcache using the vginfo->next
list. Previously, the code would print warnings (sometimes)
when adding VGs to this list. Now the duplicate VG names
are handled by higher level code, so this list no longer
needs to print warnings about duplicate VG names being found.
After recent changes to process_each, vg_read() is usually
given both the vgname and vgid for the intended VG.
However, in some cases vg_read() is given a vgid with
no vgname, or is given a vgname with no vgid.
When given a vgid with no vgname, vg_read() uses lvmcache
to look up the vgname using the vgid. If the vgname is
not found, vg_read() fails.
When given a vgname with no vgid, vg_read() should also
use lvmcache to look up the vgid using the vgname.
If the vgid is not found, vg_read() fails.
If the lvmcache lookup finds multiple vgids for the
vgname, then the lookup fails, causing vg_read() to fail
because the intended VG is uncertain.
Usually, both vgname and vgid for the intended VG are passed
to vg_read(), which means the lvmcache translations
between vgname and vgid are not done.
When not using lvmetad, this uses the system_id field in
the cached vginfo structs that are populated during a scan.
When using lvmetad, this requests the VG from lvmetad, and
checks the system_id field in the returned metadata.
When the command already knows both the vgid and vgname,
it should send both to lvmetad for a more exact request,
and it can save lvmetad the work of a name lookup.
Remove long outstand unused code lines, which were already
been obsoleted by other code.
Statuses and snapshot tree creation is already handled differently.
Also drop some 'extra' log_error() and use only stack;
since error has already been reported.
Since we do not use dev_manager in a way we would have destroyed VG
content while in-use - we could safely keep just pointer.
So dropping strdup.
Also it seems we actually no longer use vg_name for anything
so it may possibly go away completely unless it would be useful
for debugging...
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
}
Unifying terminology.
Since all the metadata in-use are ALWAYS on disk - switch
to terminology committed and precommitted.
Patch has no functional change inside.
lv preload for detached LVs started to be used also
for various other types which just happens to pass through
weak if() condition.
TODO: find here better solution to rather explicitly check
for types we really need to preload.
We do not won't to 'expose' internals of VG struct.
ATM we use lists to keep all LVs - we may want to switch
to better struct for quicker 'search'.
Since we do not need 'lists' but always actual LV,
switch find_lv_in_vg_by_lvid() to return LV,
and replaces some use case of find_lv_in_vg()
with 'better' working find_lv() which already
returns LV.
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.
