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
The get_lv_type_name helps with translating volume type
to human readable form (can be used in reports or
various messages if needed).
The lv_is_linear and lv_is_striped complete the set of
lv_is_* functions that identify exact volume types.
Since vg_name inside /lib function has already been ignored mostly
except for a few debug prints - make it and official internal API
feature.
vg_name is used only in /tools while the VG is not yet openned,
and when lvresize/lvcreate /lib function is called with VG pointer
already being used, then vg_name becomes irrelevant (it's not been
validated anyway).
So any internal user of lvcreate_params and lvresize_params does not
need to set vg_name pointer and may leave it NULL.
pvmove can be used to move single LVs by name or multiple LVs that
lie within the specified PV range (e.g. /dev/sdb1:0-1000). When
moving more than one LV, the portions of those LVs that are in the
range to be moved are added to a new temporary pvmove LV. The LVs
then point to the range in the pvmove LV, rather than the PV
range.
Example 1:
We have two LVs in this example. After they were
created, the first LV was grown, yeilding two segments
in LV1. So, there are two LVs with a total of three
segments.
Before pvmove:
--------- --------- ---------
| LV1s0 | | LV2s0 | | LV1s1 |
--------- --------- ---------
| | |
-------------------------------------
PV | 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 | 512 - 767 |
-------------------------------------
After pvmove inserts the temporary pvmove LV:
--------- --------- ---------
| LV1s0 | | LV2s0 | | LV1s1 |
--------- --------- ---------
| | |
-------------------------------------
pvmove0 | seg 0 | seg 1 | seg 2 |
-------------------------------------
| | |
-------------------------------------
PV | 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 | 512 - 767 |
-------------------------------------
Each of the affected LV segments now point to a
range of blocks in the pvmove LV, which purposefully
corresponds to the segments moved from the original
LVs into the temporary pvmove LV.
The current implementation goes on from here to mirror the temporary
pvmove LV by segment. Further, as the pvmove LV is activated, only
one of its segments is actually mirrored (i.e. "moving") at a time.
The rest are either complete or not addressed yet. If the pvmove
is aborted, those segments that are completed will remain on the
destination and those that are not yet addressed or in the process
of moving will stay on the source PV. Thus, it is possible to have
a partially completed move - some LVs (or certain segments of LVs)
on the source PV and some on the destination.
Example 2:
What 'example 1' might look if it was half-way
through the move.
--------- --------- ---------
| LV1s0 | | LV2s0 | | LV1s1 |
--------- --------- ---------
| | |
-------------------------------------
pvmove0 | seg 0 | seg 1 | seg 2 |
-------------------------------------
| | |
| -------------------------
source PV | | 256 - 511 | 512 - 767 |
| -------------------------
| ||
-------------------------
dest PV | 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 |
-------------------------
This update allows the user to specify that they would like the
pvmove mirror created "by LV" rather than "by segment". That is,
the pvmove LV becomes an image in an encapsulating mirror along
with the allocated copy image.
Example 3:
A pvmove that is performed "by LV" rather than "by segment".
--------- ---------
| LV1s0 | | LV2s0 |
--------- ---------
| |
-------------------------
pvmove0 | * LV-level mirror * |
-------------------------
/ \
pvmove_mimage0 / pvmove_mimage1
------------------------- -------------------------
| seg 0 | seg 1 | | seg 0 | seg 1 |
------------------------- -------------------------
| | | |
------------------------- -------------------------
| 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 | | 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 |
------------------------- -------------------------

The thing that differentiates a pvmove done in this way and a simple
"up-convert" from linear to mirror is the preservation of the
distinct segments. A normal up-convert would simply allocate the
necessary space with no regard for segment boundaries. The pvmove
operation must preserve the segments because they are the critical
boundary between the segments of the LVs being moved. So, when the
pvmove copy image is allocated, all corresponding segments must be
allocated. The code that merges ajoining segments that are part of
the same LV when the metadata is written must also be avoided in
this case. This method of mirroring is unique enough to warrant its
own definitional macro, MIRROR_BY_SEGMENTED_LV. This joins the two
existing macros: MIRROR_BY_SEG (for original pvmove) and MIRROR_BY_LV
(for user created mirrors).
The advantages of performing pvmove in this way is that all of the
LVs affected can be moved together. It is an all-or-nothing approach
that leaves all LV segments on the source PV if the move is aborted.
Additionally, a mirror log can be used (in the future) to provide tracking
of progress; allowing the copy to continue where it left off in the event
there is a deactivation.
Create a separate function to validation snapshot min chunk value
and relocate code into snapshot_manip file.
This function will be shared with lvconvert then.
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.
Remove 'skip' argument passed into the function.
We always used '0' - as this is the only supported
option (-K) and there is no complementary option.
Also add some testing for behaviour of skipping.
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.
A cache LV - from LVM's perpective - is a user accessible device that
links the cachepool LV and the origin LV. The following functions
were added to facilitate the creation and removal of this top-level
LV:
1) 'lv_cache_create' - takes a cachepool and an origin device and links
them into a new top-level LV of 'cache' segment type. No allocation
is necessary in this function, as the sub-LVs contain all of the
necessary allocated space. Only the top-level layer needs to be
created.
2) 'lv_cache_remove' - this function removes the top-level LV of a
cache LV - promoting the cachepool and origin sub-LVs to top-level
devices and leaving them exposed to the user. That is, the
cachepool is unlinked and free to be used with another origin to
form a new cache LV; and the origin is no longer cached.
(Currently, if the cache needs to be flushed, it is done in this
function and the function waits for it to complete before proceeding.
This will be taken out in a future patch in favor of polling.)
Building on the new DM function that parses DM cache status, we
introduce the following LVM level functions to aquire information
about cache devices:
- lv_cache_block_info: retrieves information on the cache's block/chunk usage
- lv_cache_policy_info: retrieves information on the cache's policy
Avoid use of external origin with size unaligned/incompatible with
thin pool chunk size, since the last chunk is not correctly provisioned
when it is overwritten.
This patch adds the new cachepool segment type - the first of two
necessary to eventually create 'cache' logical volumes. In addition
to the new segment type, updates to makefiles, configure files, the
lv_segment struct, and some necessary libdevmapper flags.
The cachepool is the LV and corresponding segment type that will hold
all information pertinent to the cache itself - it's size, cachemode,
cache policy, core arguments (like migration_threshold), etc.
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".
Introduce FMT_OBSOLETE to identify pool metadata and use it and FMT_MDAS
instead of hard-coded format names.
Explain device accesses on pvscan --cache man page.

Optimize and cleanup recently introduced new function wipe_lv.
Use compound literals to get nicely initialized wipe_params struct.
Pass in lv as explicit argument for wipe_lv.
Use cmd from lv structure.
Initialize only non-null members so it's easy to see what
is the special arg.
Drop find_merging_snapshot() function. Use find_snapshot()
called after check for lv_is_merging_origin() which
is the commonly used code path - so we avoid duplicated
tests and potential risk of derefering NULL point
in unhandled error path.
Use common wipe_lv (former set_lv) fn to do zeroing as well as signature
wiping if needed. Provide new struct wipe_lv_params to define the
functionality.
Bind "lvcreate -W/--wipesignatures y" with proper wipe_lv call.
Also, add "yes" and "force" to lvcreate_params so it's possible
to apply them for the prompt: "WARNING: %s detected on %s. Wipe it? [y/n]".
Revert 4777eb6872 which put
target_present check into init_snapshot_merge(). However
this function is also used when parsing metadata. So we would
get this present test performed even when target is not really
needed. So move this target_present test directly into lvconvert.
Replace the code with the refactored vgreduce_single instead
of calling its own implementation.

Add LV_TEMPORARY flag for LVs with limited existence during command
execution. Such LVs are temporary in way that they need to be activated,
some action done and then removed immediately. Such LVs are just like
any normal LV - the only difference is that they are removed during
LVM command execution. This is also the case for LVs representing
future pool metadata spare LVs which we need to initialize by using
the usual LV before they are declared as pool metadata spare.
We can optimize some other parts like udev to do a better job if
it knows that the LV is temporary and any processing on it is just
useless.
This flag is orthogonal to LV_NOSCAN flag introduced recently
as LV_NOSCAN flag is primarily used to mark an LV for the scanning
to be avoided before the zeroing of the device happens. The LV_TEMPORARY
flag makes a difference between a full-fledged LV visible in the system
and the LV just used as a temporary overlay for some action that needs to
be done on underlying PVs.
For example: lvcreate --thinpool POOL --zero n -L 1G vg
- first, the usual LV is created to do a clean up for pool metadata
spare. The LV is activated, zeroed, deactivated.
- between "activated" and "zeroed" stage, the LV_NOSCAN flag is used
to avoid any scanning in udev
- betwen "zeroed" and "deactivated" stage, we need to avoid the WATCH
udev rule, but since the LV is just a usual LV, we can't make a
difference. The LV_TEMPORARY internal LV flag helps here. If we
create the LV with this flag, the DM_UDEV_DISABLE_DISK_RULES
and DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES flag are set (just like as it is
with "invisible" and non-top-level LVs) - udev is directed to
skip WATCH rule use.
- if the LV_TEMPORARY flag was not used, there would normally be
a WATCH event generated once the LV is closed after "zeroed"
stage. This will make problems with immediated deactivation that
follows.
A common scenario is during new LV creation when we need to wipe the
newly created LV and avoid any udev scanning before this stage otherwise
it could cause the device (the LV) to be claimed by some other subsystem
for which there were stale metadata within LV data.
This patch adds possibility to mark the LV we're just about to wipe with
a flag that gets passed to udev via DM_COOKIE as a subsystem specific
flag - DM_SUBSYSTEM_UDEV_FLAG0 (in this case the subsystem is "LVM")
so LVM udev rules will take care of handling that.
