Since now we change deduplication with V4 table line change,
the modification tends to be faster and we can capture for a few ms
also 'status' about opening or closing deduplication index.
Use 'grep -E' to handle both words.
Handle multiple devices using the same serial number as
their device id. After matching devices to devices file
entries, if there is a discrepency between the ondisk PVID
and the devices file PVID, then rematch devices to
devices file entries using PVID, looking at all disks
on the system with the same serial number.
Place the addCleanup at the end as we don't want to go through clean up
if we don't make it through setUp. If we don't do this we can remove VGs
that we didn't create in the unit test.
If we plan to use dm throttling for mirror targets - we actually
have to check whether kernel runs with CONFIG_HZ_1000 - if it does
not the whole idea of throttling is actually not working in the
testsuite as within a single 'tick' with HZ 100 way too much date
is being moved on any modern hardware - and since there is no plan
to change this in kernel - we simply avoid using throttling on such
kernel and test needs to work differently - either ignore results
or use much larger mirror sizes...
We put this in to test one of the paths in the damon, but unfortunately
if we hit the race condition where the job actually is done we will try
to call j.Wait(1) after the remove. This fails with:
dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod:
Method "Wait" with signature "i" on interface "com.redhat.lvmdbus1.Job"
doesn't exist
Which is caused by the dbus object no longer existing. We could handle
this, but the issue is we no longer have the ability to get the result to
return, they have been lost.
A better solution would be to write a specific unit test to force this code
path and handle all the possible outcomes.
These files are automatically cleared on reboot given
that /run is tmpfs, and that remains the primary way
of clearing online files.
But, if there's extreme use of vgcreate+pvscan+vgremove
between reboots, then removing online files in vgremove
will limit the number of unused online files using space
in /run.
The new option "--fs String" for lvresize/lvreduce/lvextend
controls the handling of file systems before/after resizing
the LV. --resizefs is the same as --fs resize.
The new option "--fsmode String" can be used to control
mounting and unmounting of the fs during resizing.
Possible --fs values:
checksize
Only applies to reducing size; does nothing for extend.
Check the fs size and reduce the LV if the fs is not using
the affected space, i.e. the fs does not need to be shrunk.
Fail the command without reducing the fs or LV if the fs is
using the affected space.
resize
Resize the fs using the fs-specific resize command.
This may include mounting, unmounting, or running fsck.
See --fsmode to control mounting behavior, and --nofsck to
disable fsck.
resize_fsadm
Use the old method of calling fsadm to handle the fs
(deprecated.) Warning: this option does not prevent lvreduce
from destroying file systems that are unmounted (or mounted
if prompts are skipped.)
ignore
Resize the LV without checking for or handling a file system.
Warning: using ignore when reducing the LV size may destroy the
file system.
Possible --fsmode values:
manage
Mount or unmount the fs as needed to resize the fs,
and attempt to restore the original mount state at the end.
nochange
Do not mount or unmount the fs. If mounting or unmounting
is required to resize the fs, then do not resize the fs or
the LV and fail the command.
offline
Unmount the fs if it is mounted, and resize the fs while it
is unmounted. If mounting is required to resize the fs,
then do not resize the fs or the LV and fail the command.
Notes on lvreduce:
When no --fs or --resizefs option is specified:
. lvextend default behavior is fs ignore.
. lvreduce default behavior is fs checksize
(includes activating the LV.)
With the exception of --fs resize_fsadm|ignore, lvreduce requires
the recent libblkid fields FSLASTBLOCK and FSBLOCKSIZE.
FSLASTBLOCK*FSBLOCKSIZE is the last byte used by the fs on the LV,
which determines if reducing the fs is necessary.
This test could only be run when user passes LVM_TEST_DEVDIR=/dev
as it requires and expects actions to be going in this dir, skip
otherwise.
Also 'extend_filter' manages multiple args in on lvm.conf update.
mdraid has some breakage - so 5.19 is crashing
(possibly even some more older version - that can be added as well)
Test seems to pass with 6.0-rc kernel.
When using --all, if one VG is skipped, continue adding
other VGs, and do not return an error from the command
if some VGs are added. (A VG is skipped if it's missing PVs.)
If the command fails during devices file setup or device
scanning, then remove the devices file if it has been
newly created by the command, and exit with an error.
If devices from a named VG are not imported (e.g. the
VG is missing devices), then remove the devices file if
it has been newly created by the command, and exit with
an error.
If --all VGs are being imported, and no devices are found
to include in the devices file, then remove the devices
file if it has been newly created by the command, and
exit with an error.
pvcreate with --uuid would segfault if a devices file entry matched
the specified pvid, but the devices file entry had no device_id, which
could happen if the entry has a devname idtype.
multipath_component_detection=0 has always applied to the filter-based
component detection. Also apply this setting to the duplicate-PV
handling which also eliminates multipath components (based on duplicate
PVs having the same wwid.)
Update calling vdo manager since our vdo wrapper has a simple shell
arg parser so it needs args without '='
Also correct using DM_DEV_DIR for 'pvcreate'
Introduce a replacement vdo manager wrapper for testing.
When using test suite on a system without vdo manager (which has got
deprecated) - we still need its functionality to prepare 'vdo volume'
for testing lvm_import_vdo.
Wrapper currently need 2 binaries from older 'vdo 6.2' package -
to be named:
oldvdoformat - format VDO metadata with older format
oldvdoprepareforlvm - shift vdo metadata by 1MiB
A typo of the filename after --devicesfile should result in a
command error rather than the command falling back to using no
devices file at all. Exception is vgcreate|pvcreate which
create a new devices file if the file name doesn't exist.
Allow to use --vdosettings with lvcreate,lvconvert,lvchange.
Support settings currenly only configurable via lvm.conf.
With lvchange we require inactivate LV for changes to be applied.
Settings block_map_era_length has supported alias block_map_period.
Explicit wwid's from these sections control whether the
same wwid in /etc/multipath/wwids is recognized as a
multipath component. Other non-wwid keywords are not
used, and may require disabling the use of the multipath
wwids file in lvm.conf.
When thin-pool had queued some delete message on extension operation
such message has been 'lost' and thin-pool kernel metadata has been
left with a thin volume that no longer existed for lvm2 metadata.
dev_name(dev) returns "[unknown]" if there are no names
on dev->aliases. It's meant mainly for log messages.
Many places assume a valid path name is returned, and
use it directly. A caller that wants to use the path
from dev_name() must first check if the dev has any
paths with dm_list_empty(&dev->aliases).
event based autoactivation is now the only method that lvm
provides for autoactivation.
Setting lvm.conf event_activation=0 can still be used to disable
event based autoactivation commands, but doing so will no longer
enable static autoactivation.
. error exit means that lvmdevices --update would make a change.
. remove check of PART field from --check because it isn't used.
. unlink searched_devnames file to ensure check|update will search
The approach to duplicate VGIDs has been that it is not possible
or not allowed, so the behavior has been undefined. The actual
result was unpredictable and/or broken, and generally unhelpful.
Improve this by recognizing the problem, displaying the VGs,
and printing a warning to fix the problem. Beyond this,
using VGs with duplicate VGIDs remains undefined, but should
work well enough to correct the problem with vgchange -u.
It's possible to create this condition without too much difficulty
by cloning PVs, followed by an incomplete attempt at making the two
VGs unique (vgrename and pvchange -u, but missing vgchange -u.)
This reverts commit bd2baeaaa6.
This commit broke vgrename because vgrename relies on old bugs
in lvmcache_update_vg_from_write and lvmcache_update_vgname
which need to be fixed first.

This fixes an issue related to the optimization in
"pvscan: only add device args to dev cache"
If the devices file is not used, and the lvm.conf filter
accepts devices via symlink names, then those devices won't
be accepted by pvscan for autoactivation. To resolve this,
recognize when the filter contains symlinks and disable the
optimization. When the optimization is disabled, a full
dev_cache_scan is performed, and symlinks are associated
with the device names passed to pvscan. filter-regex
will accept a device if symlinks to that device are accepted.
If multipath component devices get through the filter and
cause lvm to see duplicate PVs, then check the wwid of the
devs and drop the component devices as if they had been
filtered. If a dm mpath device was found among the duplicates
then use that as the PV, otherwise do not use any of the
components as the PV.
"duplicate PVs" associated with multipath configs will no
longer stop commands from working.
When devnames are used as device ids and devnames change,
then new devices need to be located for the PVs. If the old
devname is now used by a filtered device, this was preventing
the code from searching for the new device, so the PV was
reported as missing.
Copy another optimization from pvscan -aay to vgchange -aay.
When using the optimized label scan for only one VG, acquire the
VG lock prior to the scan. This allows vg_read to then skip the
repeated label scan that normally happens after locking the vg.
For completeness and consistency, adjust the behavior
for some variations of:
vgchange -aay --autoactivation event [vgname]
The current standard use is with a VG name arg, and the
command is only called when all pvs_online files exist.
This is the optimal case, in which only pvs_online devs
are read. This remains the same.
Clean up behaviors for some other unexpected uses of the
command:
. With no VG name arg, the command activates any VGs
that are complete according to pvs_online. If no
pvs_online files exist, it does nothing.
. If a VG name is used but no PVs online files exist for
the VG, or the PVs online files are incomplete, then
consider there could be a problem with the pvs_online
files, and fall back to a full label scan prior to
attempting the activation.
Port another optimization from pvscan -aay to vgchange -aay:
"pvscan: only add device args to dev cache"
This optimization avoids doing a full dev_cache_scan, and
instead populates dev-cache with only the devices in the
VG being activated.
This involves shifting the use of pvs_online files from
the hints interface up to the higher level label_scan
interface. This specialized label_scan is structured
around creating a list of devices from the pvs_online
files. Previously, a list of all devices was created
first, and then reduced based on the pvs_online files.
The initial step of listing all devices was slow when
thousands of devices are present on the system.
This optimization extends the previous optimization that
used pvs_online files to limit the devices that were
actually scanned (i.e. reading to identify the device):
"vgchange -aay: optimize device scan using pvs_online files"
Port the old pvscan -aay scanning optimization to vgchange -aay.
The optimization uses pvs_online files created by pvscan --cache
to derive a list of devices to use when activating a VG. This
allows autoactivation of a VG to avoid scanning all devices, and
only scan the devices used by the VG itself. The optimization is
applied internally using the device hints interface.
The new option "--autoactivation event" is given to pvscan and
vgchange commands that are called by event activation. This
informs the command that it is being used for event activation,
so that it can apply checks and optimizations that are specific
to event activation. Those include:
- skipping the command if lvm.conf event_activation=0
- checking that a VG is complete before activating it
- using pvs_online files to limit device scanning
new udev rule 69-dm-lvm.rules replaces
69-dm-lvm-meta.rules and lvm2-pvscan.service
udev rule calls pvscan directly on the added device
pvscan output indicates if a complete VG can be activated
udev env var LVM_VG_NAME_COMPLETE is used to pass complete
VG name from pvscan to the udev rule
udev rule uses systemd-run to run vgchange -aay <vgname>
The new system_id_source="appmachineid" will cause
lvm to use an lvm-specific derivation of the machine-id,
instead of the machine-id directly. This is now
recommended in place of using machineid.
Corrupt metadata text (with good mda header) was being handled
in the label_scan phase, but not in the vg_read phase. This
was sufficient because metadata areas would always be read and
checksummed during label_scan (metadata parsing was skipped
previously as an optimization.)
This changed with the optimization in
commit 61a6f9905e
"metadata: optimize reading metadata copies in scan"
Now, some metadata areas will not be read and checksummed
at all during the label_scan phase, only during the vg_read
phase. This means that bad metadata text may first be detected
in the vg_read phase. So, add equivalent bad metadata handling
to the vg_read path to match the label_scan path.
sysconf() may also return -1 although rather theoretically.
Default to 4K when such case would happen.
Also in function call it just once and keep as static variable.
Looks like newer version of mkfs.ext4 consumes more 'real' disk space,
when formating virtual volumes - so double the size of thin-pool to
have enough backend chunks for provisioning.
Do not call 'dmsetup info' for non-dm devices.
Better handling for VGNAME and LVNAME - so when convering LV as
backend device automatically recognize it and reuse LV name for VDOLV.
Add prompt for final confirmation before actual conversion is started
(once confirmed, lvm2 commands no longer prompts to avoid leaving
conversion in the middle of its process.)
Some device id types can only be used with specific device major
numbers, so use this restriction to avoid some comparisions.
This is more efficient, and can avoid some incorrect matches.
When check active componet of thinLV with external origin,
we need to check if the external origin isn't already active.
For this however we need to use layered check for -real device.
Add tool 'vdoimport' to support easy conversion of an existing VDO manager managed
VDO volumes into lvm2 managed VDO LV.
When physical converted volume is already a logical volume, conversion
happens with the VG itself, just with validation for extent_size, so
the virtually sized logical VDO volume size can be expressed in extents.
Example of basic simple usage:
vdoimport --name vg/vdolv /dev/mapper/vdophysicalvolume
Recent commit 84bd394cf9
"writecache: use block size 4096 when no fs is found"
changed the default writecache block size from 512 to 4096
when no file system is detected. The fs block size detection
requires the libblkid BLOCK_SIZE feature, so skip tests on
systems without this. Otherwise, 4096 writecache added to
512 xfs leads fs io or mount failures.
When execute IDM testing, the command reports error:
/usr/bin/install: cannot stat ‘lib/idm_inject_failure’: No such file
or directory
Since there have a stale program in my local environment, thus Makefile
always uses the stale program and doesn't report any issue. In the
brand new repository, it doesn't contain an idm_inject_failure program,
and Makefile doesn't build it without specifying the dependency, thus
the test command complaints the file 'idm_inject_failure' is not found.
This patch adds the dependency 'lib/idm_inject_failure' for IDM testing,
so it can firstly build the injection program and dismiss the error.

This patch is to test timeout handling after activate LV with exclusive
mode. It contains two scripts for host A and host B separately.
The script on host A firstly creates VGs and LVs based on the passed
back devices, every back device is for a dedicated VG and a LV is
created as well in the VG. Afterwards, all LVs are activated by host A,
so host A acquires the lease for these LVs. Then the test is designed
to fail on host A.
After the host A fails, host B starts to run the paired testing script,
it firstly fails to activate the LVs since the locks are leased by
host A; after lease expiration (after 70s), host B can achieve the lease
for LVs and it can operate LVs and VGs.

If the IDM lock manager fails to access drives, might partially fail to
access drives (e.g. it fails to access one of three drives), or totally
fail to access drives, the lock manager should handle properly for these
cases. When the drives are partially failure, if the lock manager still
can renew the lease for the locking, then it doesn't need to take any
action for the drive failure; otherwise, if it detects it cannot renew
the locking majority, it needs ti immediately kill the VG from the
lvmlockd.
This patch adds the test for verification the IDM lock manager failure;
the command can be used as below:
# make check_lvmlockd_idm \
LVM_TEST_BACKING_DEVICE=/dev/sdp3,/dev/sdl3,/dev/sdq3 \

If the fabric is broken instantly and the partial drives connected on
the fabric disappear from the system. For this case, according to the
locking algorithm in idm, the lease will not lose since the half drives
are still alive so can renew the lease for the half drives. On the
other hand, since the VG lock requires to acquire the majority of drive
number, but half drives failure cannot achieve the majority, so it
cannot acquire the lock for VG and thus cannot change metadata for VG.
This patch is to add half brain failure for idm; the test command is as
below:
# make check_lvmlockd_idm \
LVM_TEST_BACKING_DEVICE=/dev/sdp3,/dev/sdo3 LVM_TEST_FAILURE=1 \

If the fabric is broken instantly, the drives connected on the fabric
will disappear from the system. For worst case, the lease is timeout
and the drives cannot recovery back. So a new test is added to emulate
this scenario, it uses a drive for LVM operations and this drive is also
used for locking scheme; if the drive and all its associated paths (if
the drive supports multiple paths) are disconnected, the lock manager
should stop the lockspace for the VG/LVs.
And afterwards, if the drive recovers back, the VG/LV resident in the
drive should be operated properly. The test command is as below:
# make check_lvmlockd_idm \
LVM_TEST_BACKING_DEVICE=/dev/sdp3 LVM_TEST_FAILURE=1 \
T=idm_fabric_failure_timeout.sh

When the fabric failure occurs, it will lose the connection with hosts
instantly, and after a while it can recovery back so that the hosts can
continue to access the drives.
For this case, the locking manager should be reliable for this case and
can dynamically handle this case and allows user to continue to use the
VG/LV with associated locking scheme.
This patch adds a testing to emulate the fabric faliure, verify LVM
commands for this case. The testing usage is:
# make check_lvmlockd_idm \
LVM_TEST_BACKING_DEVICE=/dev/sdo3,/dev/sdp3,/dev/sdp4 \

After the lvmlockd abnormally exits and relaunch the daemon, if LVM
commands continue to run, lvmlockd and the backend lock manager (e.g.
sanlock lock manager or IDM lock manager) should can continue to serve
the requests from LVM commands.
This patch adds a test to emulate lvmlockd failure, and verify the LVM
commands after lvmlockd recovers back. Below is an example for testing
the case:
# make check_lvmlockd_idm \
LVM_TEST_BACKING_DEVICE=/dev/sdo3,/dev/sdp3,/dev/sdp4 \
LVM_TEST_FAILURE=1 T=lvmlockd_failure.sh

When the drive failure occurs, the IDM lock manager and lvmlockd should
handle this case properly. E.g. when the IDM lock manager detects the
lease renewal failure caused by I/O errors, it should invoke the kill
path which is predefined by lvmlockd, so that the kill path program
(like lvmlockctl) can send requests to lvmlockd to stop and drop lock
for the relevant VG/LVs.
To verify the failure handling flow, this patch introduces an idm
failure injection program, it can input the "percentage" for drive
failures so that can emulate different failure cases.

In current implementation, the option "LVM_TEST_BACKING_DEVICE" only

make check_lvmlockd_idm LVM_TEST_BACKING_DEVICE=/dev/sdj3,/dev/sdk3
This can allow the testing works on multiple drives and verify the
locking scheme if can work as expected for multiple drives case. For
example, for Seagate IDM locking scheme, if a VG uses two PVs, every PV
is resident on a drive, thus the locking operations will be sent to two
drives respectively; so the extension for "LVM_TEST_BACKING_DEVICE" can
help to verify different drive configurations for locking.

While we heavily try to spot arrays that are not yet in-sync,
some kernels tends to block our lvm2 command in kernel,
while we resume these smaller raid arrays even for 5 seconds.
But since the result is not really wrong - report these
check failures only as TEST WARNING.
The autoactivation property can be specified in lvcreate
or vgcreate for new LVs/VGs, and the property can be changed
by lvchange or vgchange for existing LVs/VGs.
--setautoactivation y|n
enables|disables autoactivation of a VG or LV.
Autoactivation is enabled by default, which is consistent with
past behavior. The disabled state is stored as a new flag
in the VG metadata, and the absence of the flag allows
autoactivation.
If autoactivation is disabled for the VG, then no LVs in the VG
will be autoactivated (the LV autoactivation property will have
no effect.) When autoactivation is enabled for the VG, then
autoactivation can be controlled on individual LVs.
The state of this property can be reported for LVs/VGs using
the "-o autoactivation" option in lvs/vgs commands, which will
report "enabled", or "" for the disabled state.
Previous versions of lvm do not recognize this property. Since
autoactivation is enabled by default, the disabled setting will
have no effect in older lvm versions. If the VG is modified by
older lvm versions, the disabled state will also be dropped from
the metadata.
The autoactivation property is an alternative to using the lvm.conf
auto_activation_volume_list, which is still applied to to VGs/LVs
in addition to the new property.
If VG or LV autoactivation is disabled either in metadata or in
auto_activation_volume_list, it will not be autoactivated.
An autoactivation command will silently skip activating an LV
when the autoactivation property is disabled.
To determine the effective autoactivation behavior for a specific
LV, multiple settings would need to be checked:
the VG autoactivation property, the LV autoactivation property,
the auto_activation_volume_list. The "activation skip" property
would also be relevant, since it applies to both normal and auto
activation.
Switch to plain 'kill' we should no longer need SIGKILL
as polling can be interrupted.

Looks like there was some missed versioning increase during devel.
So with kernel >= 4.18 version 1.19 is enough to look like 1.20
However backported 1.19 targets seems to not provide all
the capabilities.
Test has to use PV with suffix pv[0..9] otherwise
it's ignored by test suite filter.
Better fix for VG names to use prefix LVMTEST.
Skip the test for runs without LVM_TEST_DEVDIR != /dev
Always use PREFIX for vg header - all tests must use this prefix,
VGs without are not allowed.
Modify pv_symlink test - as the test was checking unsupportable
combination - since lvm2 commands withing testsuite are only
allowed to manipulate with /dev/mapper/LVMTESTXXXX path -
nothing else allowed and fails on being filtered.
Added comment the 'lvs' already initiates dmeventd
Note: we don't have any query mechanism to check if dmeventd
is already running except access of socket which basically
starts dmeventd if it's not running.
For determinist test results lvm2/dm service shall not be present
and running in the system as it may randomize test results.
In case they are found present, this test ends with warning (not failure).
Some older instancies of 'mdadm' opened legs in RW and
closed and opened again and expected exlusive access.
But here udev rule can be fired - so on these versions
slow down whole mdadm runtime by using strace, to
give system a bit more time to finish udev rule.
Make check_lvmpolld_init_rq_count() more compatible with older gawk,
where some functionality was not working properly.
Also change 'not not' condition.
Just like lvm command ignores 0/xxxx report from judging the status.
Avoid using infinite loop and limit report checking to 100 checks.
If it would need more - something is not right.
Our tests may result in producation of huge set of
invalid links in /dev/disk directory depeding on version
of udev and various kinds of failures.
Also we happen to invoke some on-system pvscans generating
local /etc/lvm/archive & backups - remove them when
test is finished.
Try to synchronize with colliding udev.
Also retry once if there is some failure with some
sleep between next retry.
Use oflag=direct for wipping without wipefs.
Combination of throttling and slowed device is a bit faster.
Also add FIXME about the mutliple spawn polling processing
when activating invidual LV for a pvmove.
Use for testing new mdadm_create aux wrapper.
Place functionality into a 2 pass loop - one for 'auto' other for 'start'.
Share same tests between raid level 0 and level 1 version of raid.
Add generic wrapper for mdadm --create which takes
normal 'mdadm' args - but allows us to handle differences of
mdadm usage across various version of mdadm tool.
Resulting MD device is availalble in $(< MD_DEV).
Automatic cleaning is made through cleanup_md_dev
Calling of mdadm_create cleans previous MD dev if it exists.
When testing installed binaries on system, use more 'built-in'
predefined settings to usethem with their compiled-in values.
Also it's better to use same locking dir so the system's pvscan
is not unexpectedly interferring with test commands.
