Creating a RaidLV in VGs with very small extent sizes caused
late failure in the kernel giving a not very informative error
message. Catch the attempt early and display failure message
'Unable to create RAID LV: requires minimum VG extent size 4.00 KiB'.

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
The MD raid6 personality being used to drive lvm raid6 LVs does
read-modify-write updates to any stripes and thus relies on correct
P and Q Syndromes being written during initial synchronization or
it may fail reconstructing proper user data in case of SubLVs failing.
We may not allow the '--nosync' option on
creation of raid6 LVs for that reason.
Update/fix 'man lvcreate' in that regard.
add lvcreate-raid-nosync.sh test script.

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
Commit 3928c96a37 introduced
new defaults for raid number of stripes, which may cause
backwards compatibility issues with customer scripts.
Adding configurable option 'raid_stripe_all_devices' defaulting
to '0' (i.e. off = new behaviour) to select the old behaviour
of using all PVs in the VG or those provided on the command line.
In case any scripts rely on the old behaviour, just set
'raid_strip_all_devices = 1'.
- resolves rhbz1354650
raid0/raid0_meta type LVs don't have a default number of stripes when
created without '-i/--stripes Stripes' whereas other raid types have one.
Patch sets the default for raid0/raid0_meta to 2 stripes.
The default amount of stripes for raid4/5/10 is changed to 2 and for raid6 to 3
rather than using all PVs in the VG or those provided on the command line.
This is to avoid unintended high number of stripes in case of many PVs.
To select a different amount of stripes from the default,
use 'lvcreate -i/--stripes Stripes'.

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).
This is hotfix for RHBZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1324537
However already the %FREE is not a good fit and we need something
better. Meanwhile make -l%PVS work at least as good as %FREE
for thin-pool.
TODO: this needs rework - it should be allocator to do all the size
decisions at one place.
ATM allocation can't handle stripping and cache pool allocation.
It's not yet even clear what should be actually result.
Until resolved, disable this option (it's been coredumping
inside allocation anyway).
Keep policy name separate from policy settings and avoid
to mangling and demangling this string from same config tree.
Ensure policy_name is always defined.
... 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?)
If the user provides '-m #' (# > 0) with mappings
raid4/5/6, the command silently creates
'#mirrors * #stripes + #parity' image component pairs.
Patch rejects '-m #' altogether for those mappings
in order to avoid LV creation with unexpected layout.
- resolves bz#1209445
Support error_if_no_space feature for thin pools.
Report more info about thinpool status:
(out_of_data (D), metadata_read_only (M), failed (F) also as health
attribute.)
Support compile type configurable defaults for creation
of sparse volumes.
By default now create 'thin-pools' for sparse volumes.
Use the global/sparse_segtype_default to switch back to old
snapshots if needed.
Apply the same compile logic for newly introduces mirror/raid1 options.
Unlike with thin-pool - with cache we support all args also
directly when create cache volume.
So the result of 'separate' cache-pool creation and setting its
options should give same result as specifying those args
during cache creation.
Cache-pool values are used as defaults if the params are
not specified with cache creation.
Let the finaly state of zero & wipe_signature to be
resolved later together with all the types.
Don't play with zero assigment and segtype flag
(i.e. thin-pool -Z has different meaning).
Check if the passed options do allow requested zeroing/wiping.
lvcreate without -Z or -W will fallback to warning if the device
cannot be zeroed, however if user requested them explicitely
it will give user error.
Refactor lvcreate code.
Prefer to use arg_outside_list_is_set() so we get automatic 'white-list'
validation of supported options with different segment types.
Drop used lp->cache, lp->cache and use seg_is_cache(), seg_is_thin()
Draw clear border where is the last moment we could change create
segment type.
When segment type is given with --type - do not allow it to be changed
later.
Put together tests related to individual segment types.
Finish cache conversion at proper part of lv_manip code after
the vg_metadata are written - so we could correcly clean-up created
stripe LV for cache volume.
When we are given an existing LV name - it needs to be allowed
to pass in even restricted name as the LV could have existed
long before we introduced some new restriction on prefix/suffix.i
Fix the regression on name limits and drop restriction to be applied
on any existing LVs - only the new created LV names have to be
complient with current name restrictions.
FIXME: we are currently using restricted names incorrectly in few
other places - device_is_usable() skips restricted names,
and udev flags are also incorrectly set for restricted names
so these LVs are not getting links properly.
Move code to better locations.
Improve test and remove invalid ones
(i.e. no reason to require cache size to be >= then origin).
Correctly comment where the code is doing actual conversion
of other existing volume - we do already a similar thing with
external origins.
Lots of new command line options and combinations is now supported.
Hopefully older syntax still works as well.
lvcreate --cache --cachepool vg/pool -l1
lvcreate --type cache --cachepool vg/pool -l1
lvcreate --type cache-pool vg/pool -l1
lvcreate --type cache-pool --name pool vg -l1
... and many many more ...
Over the time lvcreate code has accumulated various hacks.
So try to move that code in right places.
Detect all types early in _lvcreate_params() so functions like
_read_size_params() do not need to change volume types.
Also ultimately respect give volume --type, that its shortcut
(-T, H, -m, -s) and after that options which do type estimation.
(i.e. --cachepool, --thinpool)
Avoid repeative tests - if we know all types are decode at once
place we can 'optimize' number of validations.
The cache mode of a new cache pool is always explicitly
included in the vg metadata. If a cache mode is not
specified on the command line, the cache mode is taken
from lvm.conf allocation/cache_pool_cachemode, which
defaults to "writethrough".
The cache mode can be displayed with lvs -o+cachemode.
We are not using already defined segement type names where we could.
There is a lot of other places in device-mapper and LVM2 we have those
hardcoded so we should better finally have a common interface in
libdevmapper to avoid this.
Move common code for reading and processing
of --persistent arguments for lvcreate and lvchange
into lvmcmdline.
Reuse validate_major_minor() routine for validation.
Don't blindly activate LVs after change in cluster
and instead only local reactivation is supported.
(we have now many limited targets now).
Dropping 'sigint_caught()' handling, since
prompt() is resolving this case itself.
Fix get_pool_params to only read params.
Add poolmetadataspare option to get_pool_params.
Move all profile code into update_pool_params.
Move recalculate code into pool_manip.c
Let's use the size of origin as the real base for percenta calculation,
and 'silenly' add needed metadata space for snapshot.
So now command 'lvcreate -s -l100%ORIGIN vg/lv' should always create a
snapshot to handle full device overwrite.
Expresing -lXX%LV is not valid for snapshot, but error message for
snapshost case was not complete and missed %ORIGIN.
Also document correct settings for in manpage properly where
it missed %PVS.
When read-only snapshot was created, tool was skipping header
initialization of cow device. If it happened device has been
already containing header from some previous snapshot, it's
been 'reused' for a newly created snapshot instead of being cleared.
Start to convert percentage size handling in lvresize to the new
standard. Note in the man pages that this code is incomplete.
Fix a regression in non-percentage allocation in my last check in.
This is what I am aiming for:
-l<extents>
-l<percent> LV/ORIGIN
sets or changes the LV size based on the specified quantity
of logical logical extents (that might be backed by
a higher number of physical extents)
-l<percent> PVS/VG/FREE
sets or changes the LV size so as to allocate or free the
desired quantity of physical extents (that might amount to a
lower number of logical extents for the LV concerned)
-l+50%FREE - Use up half the remaining free space in the VG when
carrying out this operation.
-l50%VG - After this operation, this LV should be using up half the
space in the VG.
-l200%LV - Double the logical size of this LV.
-l+100%LV - Double the logical size of this LV.
-l-50%LV - Reduce the logical size of this LV by half.
Test raid10 availability as a target feature (instead of doing
it in all the places where raid10 should be checked).
TODO: activation needs runtime validation - so metadata with raid10
are skipped from activation in user-friendly way in lvm2.
Several fixes for the recent changes that treat allocation percentages
as upper limits.
Improve messages to make it easier to see what is happening.
Fix some cases that failed with errors when they didn't need to.
Fix crashes when first_seg() returns NULL.
Remove a couple of log_errors that were actually debugging messages.
There are typically 2 functions for the more advanced segment types that
deal with parameters in lvcreate.c: _get_*_params() and _check_*_params().
(Not all segment types name their functions according to this scheme.)
The former function is responsible for reading parameters before the VG
has been read. The latter is for sanity checking and possibly setting
parameters after the VG has been read.
This patch adds a _check_raid_parameters() function that will determine
if the user has specified 'stripe' or 'mirror' parameters. If not, the
proper number is computed from the list of PVs the user has supplied or
the number that are available in the VG. Now that _check_raid_parameters()
is available, we move the check for proper number of stripes from
_get_* to _check_*.
This gives the user the ability to create RAID LVs as follows:
# 5-device RAID5, 4-data, 1-parity (i.e. implicit '-i 4')
~> lvcreate --type raid5 -L 100G -n lv vg /dev/sd[abcde]1
# 5-device RAID6, 3-data, 2-parity (i.e. implicit '-i 3')
~> lvcreate --type raid6 -L 100G -n lv vg /dev/sd[abcde]1
# If 5 PVs in VG, 4-data, 1-parity RAID5
~> lvcreate --type raid5 -L 100G -n lv vg
Considerations:
This patch only affects RAID. It might also be useful to apply this to
the 'stripe' segment type. LVM RAID may include RAID0 at some point in
the future and the implicit stripes would apply there. It would be odd
to have RAID0 be able to auto-determine the stripe count while 'stripe'
could not.
The only draw-back of this patch that I can see is that there might be
less error checking. Rather than informing the user that they forgot
to supply an argument (e.g. '-i'), the value would be computed and it
may differ from what the user actually wanted. I don't see this as a
problem, because the user can check the device count after creation
and remove the LV if they have made an error.
Introduce a new parameter called "approx_alloc" that is set when the
desired size of a new LV is specified in percentage terms. If set,
the allocation code tries to get as much space as it can but does not
fail if can at least get some.
One of the practical implications is that users can now specify 100%FREE
when creating RAID LVs, like this:
~> lvcreate --type raid5 -i 2 -l 100%FREE -n lv vg
This patch allows users to create cache LVs with 'lvcreate'. An origin
or a cache pool LV must be created first. Then, while supplying the
origin or cache pool to the lvcreate command, the cache can be created.
Ex1:
Here the cache pool is created first, followed by the origin which will
be cached.
~> lvcreate --type cache_pool -L 500M -n cachepool vg /dev/small_n_fast
~> lvcreate --type cache -L 1G -n lv vg/cachepool /dev/large_n_slow
Ex2:
Here the origin is created first, followed by the cache pool - allowing
a cache LV to be created covering the origin.
~> lvcreate -L 1G -n lv vg /dev/large_n_slow
~> lvcreate --type cache -L 500M -n cachepool vg/lv /dev/small_n_fast
The code determines which type of LV was supplied (cache pool or origin)
by checking its type. It ensures the right argument was given by ensuring
that the origin is larger than the cache pool.
If the user wants to remove just the cache for an LV. They specify
the LV's associated cache pool when removing:
~> lvremove vg/cachepool
If the user wishes to remove the origin, but leave the cachepool to be
used for another LV, they specify the cache LV.
~> lvremove vg/lv
In order to remove it all, specify both LVs.
This patch also includes tests to create and remove cache pools and
cache LVs.
This patch allows the creation and removal of cache pools. Users are not
yet able to create cache LVs. They are only able to define the space used
for the cache and its characteristics (chunk_size and cache mode ATM) by
creating the cache pool.
In preparation for other segment types that create and use "pools", we
s/create_thin_pool/create_pool/. This way it is not awkward when creating
a cachepool, for example, to use "create_thin_pool".
