Previously there have been necessary explicit call of backup (often
either forgotten or over-used). With this patch the necessity to
store backup is remember at vg_commit and once the VG is unlocked,
the committed metadata are automatically store in backup file.
This may possibly alter some printed messages from command when the
backup is now taken later.
Instead of calling explicit archive with command processing logic,
move this step towards 1st. vg_write() call, which will automatically
store archive of committed metadata.
This slightly changes some error path where the error in archiving
was detected earlier in the command, while now some on going command
'actions' might have been, but will be simply scratched in case
of error (since even new metadata would not have been even written).
So general effect should be only some command message ordering.
The exported VG checking/enforcement was scattered and
inconsistent. This centralizes it and makes it consistent,
following the existing approach for foreign and shared
VGs/PVs, which are very similar to exported VGs/PVs.
The access policy that now applies to foreign/shared/exported
VGs/PVs, is that if a foreign/shared/exported VG/PV is named
on the command line (i.e. explicitly requested by the user),
and the command is not permitted to operate on it because it
is foreign/shared/exported, then an access error is reported
and the command exits with an error. But, if the command is
processing all VGs/PVs, and happens to come across a
foreign/shared/exported VG/PV (that is not explicitly named on
the command line), then the command silently skips it and does
not produce an error.
A command using tags or --select handles inaccessible VGs/PVs
the same way as a command processing all VGs/PVs, and will
not report/return errors if these inaccessible VGs/PVs exist.
The new policy fixes the exit codes on a somewhat random set of
commands that previously exited with an error if they were
looking at all VGs/PVs and an exported VG existed on the system.
There should be no change to which commands are allowed/disallowed
on exported VGs/PVs.
Certain LV commands (lvs/lvdisplay/lvscan) would previously not
display LVs from an exported VG (for unknown reasons). This has
not changed. The lvm fullreport command would previously report
info about an exported VG but not about the LVs in it. This
has changed to include all info from the exported VG.
There have been two file locks used to protect lvm
"global state": "ORPHANS" and "GLOBAL".
Commands that used the ORPHAN flock in exclusive mode:
pvcreate, pvremove, vgcreate, vgextend, vgremove,
vgcfgrestore
Commands that used the ORPHAN flock in shared mode:
vgimportclone, pvs, pvscan, pvresize, pvmove,
pvdisplay, pvchange, fullreport
Commands that used the GLOBAL flock in exclusive mode:
pvchange, pvscan, vgimportclone, vgscan
Commands that used the GLOBAL flock in shared mode:
pvscan --cache, pvs
The ORPHAN lock covers the important cases of serializing
the use of orphan PVs. It also partially covers the
reporting of orphan PVs (although not correctly as
explained below.)
The GLOBAL lock doesn't seem to have a clear purpose
(it may have eroded over time.)
Neither lock correctly protects the VG namespace, or
orphan PV properties.
To simplify and correct these issues, the two separate
flocks are combined into the one GLOBAL flock, and this flock
is used from the locking sites that are in place for the
lvmlockd global lock.
The logic behind the lvmlockd (distributed) global lock is
that any command that changes "global state" needs to take
the global lock in ex mode. Global state in lvm is: the list
of VG names, the set of orphan PVs, and any properties of
orphan PVs. Reading this global state can use the global lock
in sh mode to ensure it doesn't change while being reported.
The locking of global state now looks like:
lockd_global()
previously named lockd_gl(), acquires the distributed
global lock through lvmlockd. This is unchanged.
It serializes distributed lvm commands that are changing
global state. This is a no-op when lvmlockd is not in use.
lockf_global()
acquires an flock on a local file. It serializes local lvm
commands that are changing global state.
lock_global()
first calls lockf_global() to acquire the local flock for
global state, and if this succeeds, it calls lockd_global()
to acquire the distributed lock for global state.
Replace instances of lockd_gl() with lock_global(), so that the
existing sites for lvmlockd global state locking are now also
used for local file locking of global state. Remove the previous
file locking calls lock_vol(GLOBAL) and lock_vol(ORPHAN).
The following commands which change global state are now
serialized with the exclusive global flock:
pvchange (of orphan), pvresize (of orphan), pvcreate, pvremove,
vgcreate, vgextend, vgremove, vgreduce, vgrename,
vgcfgrestore, vgimportclone, vgmerge, vgsplit
Commands that use a shared flock to read global state (and will
be serialized against the prior list) are those that use
process_each functions that are based on processing a list of
all VG names, or all PVs. The list of all VGs or all PVs is
global state and the shared lock prevents those lists from
changing while the command is processing them.
The ORPHAN lock previously attempted to produce an accurate
listing of orphan PVs, but it was only acquired at the end of
the command during the fake vg_read of the fake orphan vg.
This is not when orphan PVs were determined; they were
determined by elimination beforehand by processing all real
VGs, and subtracting the PVs in the real VGs from the list
of all PVs that had been identified during the initial scan.
This is fixed by holding the single global lock in shared mode
while processing all VGs to determine the list of orphan PVs.
Save the list of PVs in /run/lvm/hints. These hints
are used to reduce scanning in a number of commands
to only the PVs on the system, or only the PVs in a
requested VG (rather than all devices on the system.)
Native disk scanning is now both reduced and
async/parallel, which makes it comparable in
performance (and often faster) when compared
to lvm using lvmetad.
Autoactivation now uses local temp files to record
online PVs, and no longer requires lvmetad.
There should be no apparent command-level change
in behavior.
Four commands lock two VGs at a time:
- vgsplit and vgmerge already have their own logic to
acquire the locks in the correct order.
- vgimportclone and vgrename disable this ordering check.
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.)
The lvm fullreport works per VG and as such, the vg, lv, pv, seg and
pvseg subreport is done for each VG. However, if the PV is not part of
any VG yet, we still want to display pv and pvseg subreports for these
"orphan" PVs - so enable this for lvm fullreport's process_each_vg call.
If there's parent processing handle, we don't need to create completely
new report group and status report - we'll just reuse the one already
initialized for the parent.
Currently, the situation where this matter is when doing internal report
to do the selection for processing commands where we have parent processing
handle for the command itself and processing handle for the selection
part (that is selection for non-reporting tools).
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.
When the first arg is a UUID and vgrename translates
that UUID to a current VG name, the old and new VG
names are not being checked for equality. If they
are equal, it produces an internal error rather than
a proper error.
... Using uninitialized value "lockd_state" when calling "lockd_vg"
(even though lockd_vg assigns 0 to the lockd_state, but it looks at
previous state of lockd_state just before that so we need to have
that properly initialized!)
libdm/libdm-report.c:2934: uninit_use_in_call: Using uninitialized value "tm". Field "tm.tm_gmtoff" is uninitialized when calling "_get_final_time".
daemons/lvmlockd/lvmlockctl.c:273: uninit_use_in_call: Using uninitialized element of array "r_name" when calling "format_info_r_action". (just added FIXME as this looks unfinished?)
The list of strings is used quite frequently and we'd like to reuse
this simple structure for report selection support too. Make it part
of libdevmapper for general reuse throughout the code.
This also simplifies the LVM code a bit since we don't need to
include and manage lvm-types.h anymore (the string list was the
only structure defined there).
Since commit f12ee43f2e call destroy,
it start to check all VGs are unlocked. However when we become_daemon,
we simply reset locking (since lock is still kept by parent process).
So implement a simple 'reset' flag.
Accept -q as the short form of --quiet.
Suppress non-essential standard output if -q is given twice.
Treat log/silent in lvm.conf as equivalent to -qq.
Review all log_print messages and change some to
log_print_unless_silent.
When silent, the following commands still produce output:
dumpconfig, lvdisplay, lvmdiskscan, lvs, pvck, pvdisplay,
pvs, version, vgcfgrestore -l, vgdisplay, vgs.
[Needs checking.]
Non-essential messages are shifted from log level 4 to log level 5
for syslog and lvm2_log_fn purposes.
Move the free_vg() to vg.c and replace free_vg with release_vg
and make the _free_vg internal.
Patch is needed for sharing VG in vginfo cache so the release_vg function name
is a better fit here.
Fixing some const warnings - with API change in:
int vg_extend(struct volume_group *vg, int pv_count, const char *const *pv_names,
Change is needed - as lvm2api expects const behaviour here.
So vg_extend() is doing local strdup for unescaping.
skip_dev_dir return const char* from const char* vg_name.
Rest of the patch is cleanup of related warnings.
Also using dm_report_filed_string() API change to simplify
casting in _string_disp and _lvname_disp.
where we should not expose internal VG names/uuids (the ones with "#" prefix )through the
interface. Otherwise, we could end up with library users opening internal VGs which will
initiate locking mechanism that won't be cleaned up properly.
"#orphans_{lvm1, lvm2, pool}" names are treated in a special way, they are truncated first
to "orphans" and this is used as a part of the lock name then (e.g. while calling lvm_vg_open()).
When library user calls lvm_vg_close(), the original name "orphans_{lvm1, lvm2, pool}"
is used directly and therefore no unlock occurs.
We should exclude internal VG names and uuids in the lists provided by lvmcache:
lvmcache_get_vgids() and lvmcache_get_vgnames().
Fix vg_read() error paths to properly release upon vg_read_error().
Note that in the iterator paths (process_each_*()), we release
inside the iterator so no individual cleanup is needed. However there
are a number of other places we missed the cleanup. Proper cleanup
when vg_read_error() is true should be calling vg_release(vg), since
there should be no locks held if we get an error (except in certain
special cases, which IMO we should work to remove from the code).
Unfortunately the testsuite is unable to detect these types of memory
leaks. Most of them can be easily seen if you try an operation
(e.g. lvcreate) with a volume group that does not exist. Error
message looks like this:
Volume group "vg2" not found
You have a memory leak (not released memory pool):
[0x1975eb8]
You have a memory leak (not released memory pool):
[0x1975eb8]

* Convert vgrename to vg_read_for_update.
Rebased 6/26/2009 - Dave W.
Author: Petr Rockai <prockai@redhat.com>
Committer: Dave Wysochanski <dwysocha@redhat.com>
As a simplification to the tools and further liblvm, this patch pushes
the setting of NON_BLOCKING lock flag inside the lock_vol() call.
The policy we set is if any existing VGs are currently locked, we
set the NON_BLOCKING flag.
Should be no functional change.
