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.
If we know that a PV belongs to some VG and we're missing metadata
(because we have only those PV(s) from VG present in the system that
don't have metadata areas), we should skip such PV when processing
under system ID.
This is because we know that the PV belongs to some VG, but we
really can't decide whether it matches system ID unless the VG
metadata is present again.
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
/dev/sda lvm2 --- 128.00m 128.00m 0
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
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.
Physical volume /dev/sda not changed
0 physical volumes changed / 1 physical volume not changed
$ pvremove /dev/sda
PV '/dev/sda' is marked as belonging to a VG but its metadata is missing.
(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.
This is a hotfix for a bug introduced in
6d7dc87cb3.
The bug description: First we allocate memory for
processing handle (at an address 1) then we
allocate some memory on the same pool for later use
in pvmove_poll function inside the process_each_pv
function (at an address 2). After we jump out of
process_each_pv we called destroy_processing_handle.
As a result of destroying the handle memory pool could
deallocate all memory at address 1 or higher. The
pvmove_poll function tried to copy a memory allocated
at address 2 that could be returned to the system.
If it was so it led to segfault.
We need to rethink proper fix but in the same time
cmd->mem pool is recreated per each lvm command so
this should not cause problems even when we run
multiple commands in lvm shell.
