It could be actually better to use even cache origin in
read-only mode so there could no be some 'acidental'
change being done on this volume.
This however need further tools enhancment - where we would need
to handle whole subtree on 'lvchange -pr/-prw'.
Add this functionality to lvconvert:
'lvconvert --thin cachedLV --thinpool vg/poll'
Converts cachedLV to external origin (which will be read-only).
New thin volume is created in thinpool LV and it's using external
origin as source for unprovisioned chunks.
This conversion happens online (while volume is in use).
Thin LV remains fully writable.
Cached external origin no longer could be written so cache will be used
ONLY for read operations. For this limitation we require cache mode
to be writethrough (as writeback cannot write to read-only volumes).
When thinLV is later removed cached external origin is again
fully usable, just note, LV remain in 'read-only' mode.
When read-write is needed, 'lvchange -prw' has to be used.
Single external origin could be user by multiple thinLV in
multiple differen thin pool.
External origin could be reloaded via more locks.
It's actually even more complex then thin-pool,
as it may be active on more nodes for linear LVs
(and maybe even more types).
External origin is always read-only thus unmodifiable
device so there should not be a problem accesing it
through multiple nodes.
Also for thin-pool check first presence of active thin-pool.
FIXME:
It's not easy to detect on which nodes this device is active
Thus manipulation with such device may require checking every
node and it active state and refresh.
But since such setup is quite complex to prepare and use,
hopefully there are not user trying to 'explore' this usage yet.
To be ready to show status of cache volume, call the status
with layer. Layer is automatically detected in this case when
cache volume is used in 'layered' form (needs -real suffix).
Avoid printing misleading message about single dirty block.
Instead properly detect condition where the 'cleaner' policy
needs to be installed without 'overloading' dirty variable.
Also print warning if we would be clearing read-only volume.
(it really shouldn't happen).
External origin could be activated as stand-alone device.
When the last thin LV is removed, external origin is no longer
the external origin and it's layer property was dropped.
Ensure dm table is correct by reloading external origin
(when it's active).
Activation of raid has brough up also splitted image with tracing
(without taking lock for this).
So when raid is now activate - such image is not put into
table (with _rmeta). When user needs such device, just active it.
Commit 0690392040 revealed a problem
in raid metadata manipulation.
We do two operations in one table reload:
- raid leg/image extraction
- rename remaining raid legs
This should be made in separate steps. Otherwise we do an
uncorrectable table change on error path (leaving tables
for admin and dmsetup).
As a hotfix - restore the previous logic and use a single
new function _lv_update_and_reload_list which activates exclusively
extracted LVs on the list before resuming suspended raid LV.
This restore 'rename' functionality upon resume.
Also still preserve the 'origin_only' logic - although we know
it's not working properly for cluster and LV stacking.
Further fixes are needed.
backup is not 'tested' for success and also it should
actually happen just when command is finished.
We do not target to make backups with each inter-step
metadata change.
RAID is LV property
TODO: only 2 flags are seg->status: PVMOVE & MERGING
At least the second one should be soon elimanted as again
we merge LV not a segment.
This is another place for 'common' use pattern or
reload and activation of deleted devices.
(Moving the exclusive activation to _deactivate_and_remove_lvs()).
TODO: looks like halve of raid function is reloading
just 'origin' - and the other full LV.
Fix order of operation when converting raid1 into old mirror.
Before any later metadata modification are initiated prepare
mirror_log device with all clearing.
Then directly convert raid1 into mirror with mirror_log.
This convertion now properly see as precommitted metadata
new 'mirror' and committed old 'raid' and is able to
preload all LVs.
Drop LV from passed API arg - it's always segment being checked.
Also use_layer is now in full control of lv_info_with_seg_status().
It decides which device needs to be checked to get 'the most info'.
TODO: future version should be able to expose status from
In case any SubLV of a RaidLV transiently fails, it needs
two "lvchange --refresh RaidLV" runs to get it to fully
operational mode again. Reason being, that lvm reloads all
targets for the RaidLV tree but doesn't resume the SubLVs
until after the whole tree has been reloaded in the first
refresh run. Thus the live mapping table of the SubLVs
still point to an "error" mapping and the dm-raid target
can't retrieve any superblock from the MetaLV(s) in processing
the constructor during this preload thus not discovering the
again accessible SubLVs. In the second run, the SubLV targets
map proper (meta)data, hence the constructor discovers those
fine now.
Solve by resuming the SubLVs of the RaidLV before
preloading the respective top-level RaidLV target.
Resolves: rhbz1399844
Avoid code duplication and use exiting commonly used
lv_update_and_reload() function.
There is still one place left where mirror is doing strange
double suspend call - needs there more thinking what's wrong with
that code.
When lvconvert adds a new leg - it's doing it free 'temporary' image
layer - however this temporary 'internal' mirror is also MIRRORED LV.
But the status bit was not properly transfered through layer.
Instead of clearing multiple rmeta device with sequential activation
process and waiting for udev for every _rmeta device separately,
activate all _rmeta devices first and then clear them and deactivate
afterwards.
Also update some tracing messages.
When anyhing goes wrong during clearing process, always try to
deactivate as much _rmeta devices as possible before fail.
