Enforce mirror/raid0/1/10/4/5/6 type specific maximum images when
creating LVs or converting them from mirror <-> raid1.
Document those maxima in the lvcreate/lvconvert man pages.
- resolves rhbz1366060
'lvchange --resync LV' or 'lvchange --syncaction repair LV' request the
RAID layout specific parity blocks in raid4/5/6 to be recreated or the
mirrored blocks to be copied again from the master leg/copy for raid1/10,
thus not allowing a rebuild of a particular PV.
Introduce repeatable option '--[raid]rebuild PV' to allow to request
rebuilds of specific PVs in a RaidLV which are known to contain corrupt
data (e.g. rebuild a raid1 master leg).
Add test lvchange-rebuild-raid.sh to test/shell doing rebuild
variations on raid1/10 and 5; add aux function check_status_chars
to support the new test.

introduced with commit 8f62b7bfe5 rely on complete
defintions of the relations between the LVs of a VG.
Hence only run these checks when the complete_vg flag
is set on calls to check_lv_segments().
lvconvert failed in test lvconvert-thin-raid.sh when
calling check_lv_segments() from _read_segments() without
providing a complete definition.
General RAID and RAID segment type specific checks are added
to merge.c. New static _check_raid_seg() is called on each segment
of a RaidLV (which have just one) from check_lv_segments().
New checks caught some unititialized segment members
which are addressed here as well:
- initialize seg->region_size to 0 in lvcreate.c for raid0/raid0_meta
- initialize list seg->origin_list in lv_manip.c
When volume was lvconvert-ed to a thin-volume with external origin,
then in case thin-pool was in non-zeroing mode
it's been printing WARNING about not zeroing thin volume - but
this is wanted and expected - so nothing to warn about.
So in this particular use case WARNING needs to be suppressed.
Adding parameter support for lvcreate_params.
So now lvconvert creates 'normal thin LV' in read-only mode
(so any read will 'return 0' for a moment)
then deactivate regular thin LV and reacreate in 'final R/RW' mode
thin LV with external origin and activate again.
Before, the automatic update from older to newer version of PV extension
header happened within vg_write call. This may have caused problems under
some circumnstances where there's a code in between vg_write and vg_commit
which may have failed. In such situation, we reverted precommitted metadata
and put back the state to working version of VG metadata.
However, we don't have revert for PV write operation at the moment. So
if we updated PV headers already and we reverted vg_write due to failure
in subsequent code (before vg_commit), we ended up with lost VG metadata
(because old metadata pointers got reset by the PV write operation).
To minimize problematic situations here, we should put vg_write and
vg_commit that is done after PV header rewrites as close to each
other as possible.
This patch moves the automatic PV header rewrite for new extension
header part from vg_write to _vg_read where it's done the same way
as we do any other VG repairs if detected during VG read operation
(under VG write lock).
Any failing stripes in raid0/raid0_meta type LVs cause data loss,
thus replacement via 'lvconvert --replace...' does not make sense.
Patch prohibits replacement on raid0/raid0_meta LVs.
- resolves rhbz1356734
Commit ca878a3426 changed behavior
or resize operation. Later the code has been futher changed
to skip fs resize completely when size of LV is already matching
and finaly at the most recent resize changeset for resize the
check for matching size has been eliminated as well so we ended
with a request call to resize fs to 0 size in some cases.
This commit reoders some test so the prompt happens just once before
resize of possibly 2 related volumes.
Also extra test for having LV already given size is added, and
whole metadata update is skipped for this case as the only
result would be an increment of seqno.
However the filesystem is still resized when requested,
so if the LV has some size and the resize is resolved to
the same size, the filesystem resize is called so in case FS
would not match, the resize will happen.
A livelock occurs on extension in lv_manip when adjusting the region size,
which doesn't apply to any raid0/raid0_meta LVs (these don't have a bitmap).
Fix by prohibiting the region size adjustment on any such LVs.

An unconditional access to the non-existing MetaLV of a raid0 LV in
lv_raid_remove_missing() was causing the segfault.
Only call log_debug() on replacements of existing MetaLVs.
- resolves rhbz1354646
Apply the same idea as vg_update.
Before doing the VG remove on disk, invalidate
the VG in lvmetad. After the VG is removed,
remove the VG in lvmetad. If the command fails
after removing the VG on disk, but before removing
the VG metadata from lvmetad, then a subsequent
command will see the INVALID flag and not use the
stale metadata from lvmetad.
Previously, a command sent lvmetad new VG metadata in vg_commit().
In vg_commit(), devices are suspended, so any memory allocation
done by the command while sending to lvmetad, or by lvmetad while
updating its cache could deadlock if memory reclaim was triggered.
Now lvmetad is updated in unlock_vg(), after devices are resumed.
The new method for updating VG metadata in lvmetad is in two phases:
1. In vg_write(), before devices are suspended, the command sends
lvmetad a short message ("set_vg_info") telling it what the new
VG seqno will be. lvmetad sees that the seqno is newer than
the seqno of its cached VG, so it sets the INVALID flag for the
cached VG. If sending the message to lvmetad fails, the command
fails before the metadata is committed and the change is not made.
If sending the message succeeds, vg_commit() is called.
2. In unlock_vg(), after devices are resumed, the command sends
lvmetad the standard vg_update message with the new metadata.
lvmetad sees that the seqno in the new metadata matches the
seqno it saved from set_vg_info, and knows it has the latest
copy, so it clears the INVALID flag for the cached VG.
If a command fails between 1 and 2 (after committing the VG on disk,
but before sending lvmetad the new metadata), the cached VG retains
the INVALID flag in lvmetad. A subsequent command will read the
cached VG from lvmetad, see the INVALID flag, ignore the cached
copy, read the VG from disk instead, update the lvmetad copy
with the latest copy from disk, (this clears the INVALID flag
in lvmetad), and use the correct VG metadata for the command.
(This INVALID mechanism already existed for use by lvmlockd.)
Add code to support more LVs to be resized through a same code path
using a single lvresize_params struct.
(Now it's used for thin-pool metadata resize,
next user will be snapshot virtual resize).
Update code to adjust percent amount resize for use_policies.
Properly activate inactive thin-pool in case of any pool resize
as the command should not 'deffer' this operation to next activation.
Use common API design and pass just LV pointer to lv_manip.c functions.
Read cmd struct via lv->vg->cmd when needed.
Also do not try to return EINVALID_CMD_LINE error when we
have already openned VG - this error code can only be returned before
locking VG.
A number of places are working on a specific dev when they
call lvmcache_info_from_pvid() to look up an info struct
based on a pvid. In those cases, pass the dev being used
to lvmcache_info_from_pvid(). When a dev is specified,
lvmcache_info_from_pvid() will verify that the cached
info it's using matches the dev being processed before
returning the info. Calling code will not mistakenly
get info for the wrong dev when duplicate devs exist.
This confusion was happening when scanning labels when
duplicate devs existed. label_read for the first dev
would add an info struct to lvmcache for that dev/pvid.
label_read for the second dev would see the pvid in
lvmcache from first dev, and mistakenly conclude that
the label_read from the second dev can be skipped
because it's already been done. By verifying that the
dev for the cached pvid matches the dev being read,
this mismatch is avoided and the label is actually read
from the second duplicate.
Add function to obtain percentage value for cache lv_seg_status.
This API is rather evolving 'middle' step as the ultimate goal
is segment API fuctionality.
But first we need to be clear at reporting level which values
are needed to be reported for which LVs and segments.
lv_refresh_suspend_resume() has escaped with fail ret code
after failing suspend and could have left many volumes in suspend state.
So always unconditionally call resume also when suspend has failed.
Check first the LV is cow before even checking it's a merging COW.
Note: previosly merging_cow was also merging origin, so without
this explicit check it used to return '1' also when passed
LV has been merging origin.
When mirror/raid called copy_percent function to return,
when 100% was supposed to be returned, wrong float 100.0 value
could have been reported back instead of dm_percent_t DM_PERCENT_100.
There is broken API somewhere, since the function here rely on
actively being modifid VG content even when doing 'lvs' operation.
(extents_copies)
This refactors the code for autoactivation. Previously,
as each PV was found, it would be sent to lvmetad, and
the VG would be autoactivated using a non-standard VG
processing function (the "activation_handler") called via
a function pointer from within the lvmetad notification path.
Now, any scanning that the command needs to do (scanning
only the named device args, or scanning all devices when
there are no args), is done first, before any activation
is attempted. During the scans, the VG names are saved.
After scanning is complete, process_each_vg is used to do
autoactivation of the saved VG names. This makes pvscan
activation much more similar to activation done with
vgchange or lvchange.
The separate autoactivate phase also means that if lvmetad
is disabled (either before or during the scan), the command
can continue with the activation step by simply not using
lvmetad and reverting to disk scanning to do the
activation.
Add support for active cache LV.
Handle --cachemode args validation during command line processing.
Rework some lvm2 internal to use lvm2 defined CACHE_MODE enums
indepently on libdm defines and use enum around the code instead
of passing and comparing strings.
When there are duplicate devices for a PV, one device
is preferred and chosen to exist in the VG. The other
devices are not used by lvm, but are displayed by pvs
with a new PV attr "d", indicating that they are
unchosen duplicate PVs.
The "duplicate" reporting field is set to "duplicate"
when the PV is an unchosen duplicate, and that field
is blank for the chosen PV.
Wait to compare and choose alternate duplicate devices until
after all devices are scanned. During scanning, the first
duplicate dev is kept in lvmcache, and others are kept in a
new list (_found_duplicate_devs).
After all devices are scanned, compare all the duplicates
available for a given PVID and decide which is best.
If the dev used in lvmcache is changed, drop the old dev
from lvmcache entirely and rescan the replacement dev.
Previously the VG metadata from the old dev was kept in
lvmcache and only the dev was replaced.
A new config setting devices/allow_changes_with_duplicate_pvs
can be set to 0 which disallows modifying a VG or activating
LVs in it when the VG contains PVs with duplicate devices.
Set to 1 is the old behavior which allowed the VG to be
changed.
The logic for which of two devs is preferred has changed.
The primary goal is to choose a device that is currently
in use if the other isn't, e.g. by an active LV.
. prefer dev with fs mounted if the other doesn't, else
. prefer dev that is dm if the other isn't, else
. prefer dev in subsystem if the other isn't
If neither device is preferred by these rules, then don't
change devices in lvmcache, leaving the one that was found
first.
The previous logic for preferring a device was:
. prefer dev in subsystem if the other isn't, else
. prefer dev without holders if the other has holders, else
. prefer dev that is dm if the other isn't
Support parsing --chunksize option also when converting.
Now user can use cache pool created with i.e. 32K chunksize,
while in caching user can select 512K blocks.
Tool is supposed to validate cache metadata size is big enough
to support such chunk size. Otherwise error is shown.
When creating LV - in some case we change created segment type
(ATM for cache and snapshot) and we then manipulate with
lv segment according to 'lp' segtype.
Fix this by checking for proper type before accessing segment members.
This makes command like:
lvcreate --type cache-pool -L10 vg/cpool
lvcreate -H -L10 --cachesettings migtation_threshold=10000 vg/cpool
to pass since now tool correctly selects default cache policy.
If there's an activation volume_filter, it might not be possible
to activate the rmeta LVs to wipe them. At least inherit any
LV tags from the parent LV while attempting this.
Checking for devices uses is_missing_pv() to check
if there is a device for the PV. is_missing_pv()
is based on the MISSING_PV flag, which does not
always correspond to !pv->dev. When using lvmetad,
a command like:
pvs --config 'devices/filter=["a|/dev/sdb|", "r|.*|"]'
will cause a number of PVs to have NULL pv->dev, but
not the MISSING_PV flag. So, NULL pv->dev needs to
also be checked.

When checking assumed PVs against real devices used for LVs and if
there's no device assigned for an assumed PV (e.g. due to filters),
do log_warn instead of log_error and continue checking LV segments
and associated assumed PVs further, just like we do log_warn elsewhere
in this situation.
This way user will see the warning for each LV which couldn't be
checked completely against real PVs used. Before, we logged only
the very first occurence of missing device for an LV in a VG and we
returned from the function doing this check for all the LVs in VG
immediately which may be a bit misleading because it didn't tell
user about all the other LVs and whether they could be checked
or not.
For example, we have this setup:
[0] fedora/~ # pvs

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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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 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.

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
PV #PMda
/dev/sda 0
$ pvcreate /dev/sda
PV '/dev/sda' is marked as belonging to a VG but its metadata is missing.
Can't initialize PV '/dev/sda' without -ff.
$ pvchange -u /dev/sda
PV '/dev/sda' is marked as belonging to a VG but its metadata is missing.
Can't change PV '/dev/sda' without -ff.

$ pvremove /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.
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.
