Move code for creation of thin volume into a single place
out of lv_extend(). This allows to drop extra pool arg
for alloc_lv_segment() && lv_extend() and makes code
more easier to read and follow.
I've changed build_parallel_areas_from_lv to take a new parameter
that allows the caller to build parallel areas by LV vs by segment.
Previously, the function created a list of parallel areas for each
segment in the given LV. When it came time for allocation, the
parallel areas were honored on a segment basis. This was problematic
for RAID because any new RAID image must avoid being placed on any
PVs used by other images in the RAID. For example, if we have a
linear LV that has half its space on one PV and half on another, we
do not want an up-convert to use either of those PVs. It should
especially not wind up with the following, where the first portion
of one LV is paired up with the second portion of the other:
------PV1------- ------PV2-------
[ 2of2 image_1 ] [ 1of2 image_1 ]
[ 1of2 image_0 ] [ 2of2 image_0 ]
---------------- ----------------
Previously, it was possible for this to happen. The change makes
it so that the returned parallel areas list contains one "super"
segment (seg_pvs) with a list of all the PVs from every actual
segment in the given LV and covering the entire logical extent range.
This change allows RAID conversions to function properly when there
are existing images that contain multiple segments that span more
than one PV.
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.
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
Update release_lv_segment_area not to discard any PV extents,
as it also gets used when moving extents between LVs.
Instead, call a new function release_and_discard_lv_segment_area() in
the two places where data should be discarded - lv_reduce() and
remove_mirrors_from_segments().
When moving parts of striped LVs, pvmove wouldn't care about leaving you with
two stripes on the same disk. Now --alloc anywhere is needed for that.
(Tried and gave up on two alternative approaches before the one committed here.)
This check-in enables the 'mirrored' log type. It can be specified
by using the '--mirrorlog' option as follows:
#> lvcreate -m1 --mirrorlog mirrored -L 5G -n lv vg
I've also included a couple updates to the testsuite. These updates
include tests for the new log type, and some fixes to some of the
*lvconvert* tests.
At this point they probably do not matter but going forward they
may - depends on future patches for replicator, etc. I think
these probably got missed because they were 'flags' so I changed
the name to 'status' to be consistent. So the on-disk
things 'flags' and the in structure 'status' (bits).
NOTE: WHATS_NEW already has entry for this in current release.

The physical_volume, volume_group, logical_volume and lv_segment
structures' 'status' member is now uint64_t.
The alignment of these structures was also audited to remove holes. The
movement of some members in 'volume_group' and 'lv_segment' eliminates
holes. The 'physical_volume' structure still has one 4-byte hole after
'pe_size'; the other structures no longer have any holes. Each
structures' size has not changed.
It fails for 1k PE now.
Patch adds log_region_size into allocation habdle struct
and use it in _alloc_parallel_area() for proper log size calculation
instead of hardcoded 1 extent - which can fail.
Reproducer for incorrect log size calculation:
DEV=/dev/sd[bcd]
pvcreate $DEV
vgcreate -s 1k vg_test $DEV
lvcreate -m1 -L 12M -n mirr vg_test

The log size calculation is mostly copied from kernel code.
