a5fb2bbff3 Pass metadataignore to pv_create, pv_setup, _mda_setup, and add_mda.
Pass metadataignore through PV creation / setup paths.
As a result of this cleanup, we can remove the unnecessary setting
of mda_ignore bits inside pvcreate_single(), after call to pv_create.
For now, just set metadataignore to '0' in some places.  This is
equivalent to the prior functionality, although the 0 is given
by the caller not hardcoded in _mda_setup() call.

7f7af46862 Adjust auto-metadata repair and caching logic to try to cope with empty mdas.
- If a PV contained empty mdas, the auto-recovery code was not kicking in.
- The 'inconsistent' state was getting lost when metadata was cached so
  recovery didn't kick in.  But leave the behaviour alone when using
  precommitted metadata because of a warning in a confusing FIXME.

In my testing, pvs and vgs didn't repair inconsistent metadata like they
used to do.  (How many other tools fail similarly now?)

And there should be no need to cache inconsistent metadata because it is
supposed to get repaired under the protection of a write lock immediately it is
discovered.

This code is in need of a redesign based on first principles.
I still see bugs in this code and this commit is risky.

a9d8bf269a Allow 'all' and 'unmanaged' values for --vgmetadatacopies.
Allowing an 'all' and 'unmanaged' value is more intuitive, and
provides a simple way for users to get back to original LVM behavior
of metadata written to all PVs in the volume group.

If the user requests "--vgmetadatacopies unmanaged", this instructs
LVM not to manage the ignore bits to achieve a specific number of
metadata copies in the volume group.  The user is free to use
"pvchange --metadataignore" to control the mdas on a per-PV basis.
If the user requests "--vgmetadatacopies all", this instructs LVM
to do 2 things: 1) clear all ignore bits, and 2) set the "unmanaged"
policy going forward.

Internally, we use the special MAX_UINT32 value to indicate 'all'.
This 'just' works since it's the largest value possible for the
field and so all 'ignore' bits on all mdas in the VG will get
cleared inside _vg_metadata_balance().  However, after we've
called the _vg_metadata_balance function, we check for the special
'all' value, and if set, we write the "unmanaged" value into the
metadata.  As such, the 'all' value is never written to disk.

a09a8efb66 Update check in vg_split_mdas to account for ignored mdas list.
The check in vg_split_mdas will trigger an error if the 'from' vg
list is empty.  However, this might be ok in some instances now
that we have ignored mdas.  Relax this check so an error is triggered
only in the case where there's truly no more mdas in the 'from'
vg.

One example of where this makes a difference is with vgreduce.
If we try to vgreduce a PV with un-ignored mdas, this should trigger
the balancing function to un-ignore mdas on another PV in the VG.
However, we don't get to vg_write() before we fail because this
list size check fails, and we see an error message indicating:
"Cannot remove final metadata area ..."

Another example is with vgsplit into a new VG, where the PVs
being moved contain all ignored mdas.  We must move the mdas on
fid->metadata_areas_ignored from 'vg_from' to 'vg_to'.

0f2f8a5c3a Before committing each mda, arrange mdas so ignored mdas get committed first.
Arrange mdas so mdas that are to be ignored come first.  This is an
optimization that ensures consistency on disk for the longest period of time.
This was noted by agk in review of the v4 patchset of pvchange-based mda
balance.

Note the following example for an explanation of the background:
Assume the initial state on disk is as follows:
PV0 (v1, non-ignored)
PV1 (v1, non-ignored)
PV2 (v1, non-ignored)
PV3 (v1, non-ignored)

If we did not sort the list, we would have a commit sequence something like
this:
PV0 (v2, non-ignored)
PV1 (v2, ignored)
PV2 (v2, ignored)
PV3 (v2, non-ignored)

After the commit of PV0's mdas, we'd have an on-disk state like this:
PV0 (v2, non-ignored)
PV1 (v1, non-ignored)
PV2 (v1, non-ignored)
PV3 (v1, non-ignored)

This is an inconsistent state of the disk. If the machine fails, the next
time it was brought back up, the auto-correct mechanism in vg_read would
update the metadata on PV1-PV3.  However, if possible we try to avoid
inconsistent on-disk states.  Clearly, because we did not sort, we have
a greater chance of on-disk inconsistency - from the time the commit of
PV0 is complete until the time PV3 is complete.

We could improve the amount of time the on-disk state is consistent by simply
sorting the commit order as follows:
PV1 (v2, ignored)
PV2 (v2, ignored)
PV0 (v2, non-ignored)
PV3 (v2, non-ignored)

Thus, after the first PV is committed (in this case PV1), on-disk we would
have:
PV0 (v1, non-ignored)
PV1 (v2, ignored)
PV2 (v1, non-ignored)
PV3 (v1, non-ignored)

This is clearly a consistent state.  PV1 will be read but the mda will be
ignored.  All other PVs contain v1 metadata, and no auto-correct will be
required.  In fact, if we commit all PVs with ignored mdas first, we'll
only have an inconsistent state when we start writing non-ignored PVs,
and thus the chances we'll get an inconsistent state on disk is much
less with the sorted method.

69d1732334 Update _vg_read and _text_create_text_instance to use fid_add_mda[s].
When we are constructing the vg, we may need to adjust the list of
metadata_areas if there are ignored mdas.  At label read time, we
do not read the metadata of ignored mdas, and as a result, they do
not get placed on vg->fid->metadata_areas inside _text_create_text_instance
since lvmcache does not have these areas attached to vginfo->infos.
However, when we're checking the pvids inside _vg_read, after having
read another metadata area from another PV, we do have the opportunity
to update the metadata_area and metadata_areas_ignored lists based
on the read metadata_area.  We need accurate mda lists for the reporting
functions that count the ignored mdas, as well as general correctness
of mda balancing.

an empty mda list - the metadata areas should not be read or written

cdbe475fe3 Define new functions and vgs/pvs fields related to mda ignore.
Define a new pvs field, pv_mda_used_count, and a new vgs field,
vg_mda_used_count to match the existing pv_mda_count and vg_mda_count.
These new fields count the number of mdas that have the 'ignored' bit
clear (they are in use on the PV / VG).  Also define various supporting
functions to implement the counting as well as setting the ignored
flag and determining if an mda is ignored.  These high level functions
call into the lower level location independent mda ignore functions
defined by earlier patches.

Note that counting ignored mdas in a vg requires traversing both lists
and checking for the ignored bit on the mda.  The count of 'ignored'
mdas then is defined by having the bit set, not by which list the mda
is on.  The list does determine whether LVM actually does read/write to
the mda, though we must count the bits in order to return accurate numbers
for the various counts.  Also, pv_mda_set_ignored must search both vg
lists for ignored mda.  If the state changes and needs to be committed
to disk, the ignored mda will be on the non-ignored list.

Note also in pv_mda_set_ignored(), we must properly manage the mda lists.
If we change the ignored state of an mda, we must change any mdas on
vg->fid->metadata_areas that correspond to this pv.  Also, we may
need to allocate a copy of the mda, as is done when fid->metadata_areas
is populated from _vg_read(), if we are un-ignoring an ignored mda.

29f24d4634 Add mda_locns_match() internal library function for mapping pv/device to VG mda.
A metadata_area is defined independent of the location.  One downside
is that there is no obvious mapping from a pv to an mda.  For a PV in
a VG, we need a way to start with a PV and end up with an MDA, if we
are to manage mdas starting with a device/pv.  This function provides
us a way to go down the list of PVs on a VG, and identify which ones
match a particular PV.

I'm not entirely happy with this approach, but it does fit into the
existing structures in a reasonable way.

An alternative solution might be to refactor the VG - PV interface such
that mdas are a list tied to a PV.  However, this seemed a bit tricky since
a PV does not come into existence until after the list of mdas is
constructed (see _vg_read() - we create a 'fid' and attach mdas to it,
then we go through them and attach pvs).

dd2a0e940d Add find_vgname_from_{pvname|pvid} functions.
Some commands start with a pvname, but we'd like to force users to
start with a vg handle to obtain a pv handle.  Our best option seems
to be providing a way to look up the vgname from the pvname, and then
require them to use vg_read/vg_open.

In addition to the pvname lookup function, this patch also provides a
lookup by pvid.  The lookup by pvid can be used in conjunction with
lvmcache_get_pvids to process all pvs in the system.

The pvid find function first calls lvmcache_vgname_from_pvid, which may
cause the label to be read if it is not in the cache.  If the vgname is
returned is an orphan, we then check to see if there are metadata areas,
and if not, we scan every PV on the system by calling scan_vgs_for_pvs().
In most cases we should not need to do this, and by using the info->mdas
count, we avoid calling pv_read() as prior code did.  So this patch is a
bit cleaner and should allow us to refactor more of the pv code.

1e696b0c15 Do not reset position in metadata ring buffer on vgrename and vgcfgrestore.
We should write metadata into next position in the ring buffer while calling
vgrename and vgcfgrestore. At this code level (_vg_write_raw), we were not able
to determine if this is a rename or not. If yes, then accompanying VG structure
passed here has a new name set, not the old one.

When looking for a location where to put metadata next, we were given a NULL
value because of failed VG name comparison (in _find_vg_rlocn) between the
name in existing metadata and metadata we're just about to write.

This resets the position in the ring buffer, overwriting any existing metadata
(and also incorrectly updates the cache to "orphan" afterwards).

This patch just adds old_name item in struct volume_group that we can check and use
if necessary and detect renames at lower layers as well.

The same applies for vgcfgrestore, but here we're using a special value of
old_name, an empty string, to disable the check with existing metadata totally.

A NULL value in pv->vg signifies membership in the orphan VG.
Note though in the case of pv_read() on a device with metadatacopies == 0,
more devices may need to be read for an authoritative answer.

fddc256a02 Check for duplicate paths (pvids) on the commandline of vgcreate.
A user specifying duplicate paths on the cmdline of vgcreate will
get a message similar to the following:
vgcreate vgtest2 /dev/loop3 /dev/loop5
  Found duplicate PV jk1lXsKzwyOKlXq6bhaFFKMQQ06oPgu8: using /dev/loop5 not /dev/loop3
  Found duplicate PV jk1lXsKzwyOKlXq6bhaFFKMQQ06oPgu8: using /dev/loop3 not /dev/loop5
  Internal error: Duplicate PV id jk1lXs-Kzwy-OKlX-q6bh-aFFK-MQQ0-6oPgu8 detected for /dev/loop3 in vgtest2.

This is caught by vg_validate(), but it would be good to find
this condition earlier in the vgcreate code.  add_pv_to_vg()
currently checks by pvname, but does not look for duplcate pvids.
This patch adds the check for duplicate pvids and results in new
error output as follows:

80b96a8974 Optimise PV segments search.
The function find_peg_by_pe is incredibly inefficient
for Pvs with many segments.

In shiny future there should be binary (or interval) tree
instead of sorted linked list (volunteers?).

Anyway, for now, we can use dirty trick here to optimise this case:

 - Allocations are usually applied from the beginning
 of PV (we have no alloocation policy which allocates areas
 "backwards")

 - The only user of find_peg_by_pe is pv_split_segment()
 call. In *most* cases it need to split *last* PV segment.

So if we search sorted pv segment list backwards, we
hit the requested segment immediatelly.

This patch applies this tiny change.
(and saves >30% of processing time when >3000LVs segments are on one PV!)

To discourage using this inefficient function from other code,
it is moved to pv_manip.c and used static for now:-)

15fdc8d3ee Avoid scanning all pvs in the system if operating on a device with mdas.
When we pv_read() a device that has an orphan vgname, we might need to scan
the system to be sure this is true.  However, if the PV has mdas, there's
no way possible for it to have an orphan vgname unless it is a true orphan.
Some areas of the code were optimized to take advantage of this fact, while
others were not (we would still do the expensive scan if a device had mdas
but had an orphan VG).

This patch unifies the code so that every place we are operating on such
a PV, we skip the expensive scan if there are mdas.

  Device /dev/xxx not found (or ignored by filtering).

(the same with existing VG and non-existing PV & vgextend)

It is caused because code tries to "refresh" cache if
md filter is switched on using cache destroy.

But we can change filters and rescan even without this
machinery now, just use refresh_filters
(and reset md filter afterwards).

04fa77c3be This is related to liblvm and its lvm_list_vg_names() and lvm_list_vg_uuids() functions
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().

This patch tries to correctly track changes in lvmcache related to commit/revert.

For vg_commit: if there is cached precommitted metadata, after successfull commit
these metadata must be tracked as committed.

For vg_revert: remote nodes must drop precommitted metadata and its flag in lvmcache.

(N.B. Patch do not touch LV locks here in any way.)

4b1687fb74 Do not set precommitted flag in cache when precommitted metadata does not exist.
The use_precommitted flag indicates, that we want to use precommitted metadata
(used in suspend call to preload table with precommitted data).

But if there are no such data, committed metadata are read but the cache
still contains that precommitted flag.

(The problem is that later possible drop_metadata call will not invalidate
device in cache.)

The wrong precommitted state is stored in on remote nodes during normal
suspend/resume cycle _without_ vg_write/commit.

Use the PRECOMMITTED status flag here instead (which is always set if using
precommited metadata here).

from VG. It means that during operation there can be VG with PV missing,

We already allows returning "inconsistent" commited metadata,
for mirror repair we need this for precommited too.

other cluster nodes.)

"Inconsistent" here means - correct metadata, just with some metadata areas

d50795ed09 Split vg_remove_single into 2 functions - the second part commits to disk.
Split vg_remove_single into vg_remove_check (mandatory checks before
vgremove) and vg_remove (do actual remove by committing to disk).

In liblvm, we'd like to provide an consistent API that allows multiple
changes in memory, then let lvm_vg_write() control the commit to disk.  In
some cases (for example, lvresize calls fsadm) this may not be possible.
However, since we are using an object model and dividing things into small
operations, the most logical model seems to be the lvm_vg_write model, and
handling the special cases as they arrive.  So as best as possible
we move towards this end.

A possible optimization would be to consolidate vg_remove (committing)
code with vgreduce code.  A second possible optimization is making vgreduce
of the last device equivalent to vgremove.  Today, lvm_vg_reduce fails if
vgreduce is called with the last device, but from an object model perspective
we could view this as equivalent to vgremove and allow it.  My gut feel is
we do not want to do this though.

afcd9399a9 Add an open_mode to the vg struct for liblvm - enforce read / write semantics.
For now, a simple way to enforce the read/write semantics is to just save the
open mode of the VG.  If the caller uses lvm_vg_create, the mode is write.
The caller using lvm_vg_open can use either read or write to open the VG.
Once we have this, we enforce the permissions on each API call and don't allow
a caller to modify a VG that has not been opened properly.

This may be better combined with the locking mode, but I view that as future
cleanup, past this initial release.  The intial release should enforce the
basic object semantics though, as described in the lvm.h file.

1bd72d90a4 Add vg_reduce to metadata.c and metadata-exported.h
This function behaves a little bit different than vg_reduce_single, because
it allowes to remove even the latest pv. This has been done to be consistent
to lvm_vg_create, which creates an empty vg.

removed_pvs has been added to the volume_group struct. vg_reduce adds remove
pvs to this list to be able to commit the changes for the pvs in lvm_vg_comm
in liblvm2app.

Initialize removed_pvs list in format-specific volume_group constructors.
Ideally, we should have a base constructor here that initializes the general
non-format specific members of struct volume_group.  But until then, there
are multiple places to initialize these members.  Maybe a better patch would
be a base constructor patch for struct volume_group.  That is more work
though.

483a7cb6d5 Refactor a few report field calculations into separate functions.
For liblvm 'get' functions, we should share code with the reporting functions.
This means we need common code to return the values for the fields.
In this patch we refactor a few of the fields needed in liblvm.
Unfortunately, for the simple fields that do derefernces of structure
members (for example, vg_extent_count), we cannot call the common function
from the reporting infrastructure without more refactoring.  The reason is
that the dereference of the simple fields is done deep inside the reporting
code (to get the generic "data" pointer), and the display function is a
generic 'size32' function.  We can fix these issues later with more
refactoring.

Should be no functional change and the testsuite should cover any possible
regressions.  The only fields in the report affected by this patch are:
vg_size, vg_free, and pv_mda_count.

Move the check for the RESIZEABLE flag inside the vg_extend function.
When we consolidated the vg locking, reading, and status flag checking,
we tied the check for the RESIZEABLE flag to the vg_read() call.  The problem
with this is you cannot know what other APIs the application my or may not
call after a vg_read() call.  Thus the READ_REQUIRE_RESIZEABLE flag is not
really ideal - ideally we should be checking for this flag on a specific
operation, not inside the vg_read() call.  This patch moves one check inside

liblvm function function will fail if there are active LVs.  It will

duplicated the EXPORTED_VG check in vgremove_single (tools) and
vg_remove_single (library).  Duplication seemed the only option here
since we don't want to do the automatic removal of LVs (in the tools)
if the vg is exported, and we still need to protect the library call
from removal if the vg is exported.

10a27bdfb6 Change vg_create() to take only minimal parameters and obtain a lock.
vg_t *vg_create(struct cmd_context *cmd, const char *vg_name);
This is the first step towards the API called to create a VG.
Call vg_lock_newname() inside this function.  Use _vg_make_handle()
where possible.
Now we have 2 ways to construct a volume group:
1) vg_read: Used when constructing an existing VG from disks
2) vg_create: Used when constructing a new VG
Both of these interfaces obtain a lock, and return a vg_t *.
The usage of _vg_make_handle() inside vg_create() doesn't fit
perfectly but it's ok for now.  Needs some cleanup though and I've
noted "FIXME" in the code.

Add the new vg_create() plus vg 'set' functions for non-default
VG parameters in the following tools:
- vgcreate: Fairly straightforward refactoring.  We just moved
vg_lock_newname inside vg_create so we check the return via
vg_read_error.
- vgsplit: The refactoring here is a bit more tricky.  Originally
we called vg_lock_newname and depending on the error code, we either
read the existing vg or created the new one.  Now vg_create()
calls vg_lock_newname, so we first try to create the VG.  If this
fails with FAILED_EXIST, we can then do the vg_read.  If the
create succeeds, we check the input parameters and set any new
values on the VG.

TODO in future patches:
1. The VG_ORPHAN lock needs some thought.  We may want to treat
this as any other VG, and require the application to obtain a handle
and pass it to other API calls (for example, vg_extend).  Or,
we may find that hiding the VG_ORPHAN lock inside other APIs is
the way to go.  I thought of placing the VG_ORPHAN lock inside
vg_create() and tying it to the vg handle, but was not certain
this was the right approach.
2. Cleanup error paths. Integrate vg_read_error() with vg_create and
vg_read* error codes and/or the new error APIs.

fe2b3ea0d4 In the new _vg_read_for_update(), we always do the check for CLUSTERED vg
status flag after reading the volume group.  Thus, no need to set the flag
in vg_read() or clear it later before calling _vg_bad_status_bits().

Also, add back in the !lockingfailed() as part of the CLUSTERED flag check.
It's unclear why it was removed when the check was moved from
_vg_bad_status_bits() to inside _vg_lock_and_read().
There was an open question about the last check in the 'if' stmt for
lockingfailed() with a previous patch submitted.  However, I would

07b0c948ee Add vg_lock_newname() library function.
Various tools need to check for existence of a VG before doing something
(vgsplit, vgrename, vgcreate).  Currently we don't have an interface to
check for existence, but the existence check is part of the vg_read* call(s).
This patch is an attempt to pull out some of that functionality into a
separate function, and hopefully simplify our vg_read interface, and
move those patches along.

vg_lock_newname() is only concerned about checking whether a vg exists in
the system.  Unfortunately, we cannot just scan the system, but we must first
obtain a lock.  Since we are reserving a vgname, we take a WRITE lock on
the vgname.  Once obtained, we scan the system to ensure the name does
not exist.  The return codes and behavior is in the function header.
You might think of this function as similar to an open() call with
O_CREAT and O_EXCL flags (returns failure with -EEXIST if file already
exists).

NOTE: I think including the word "lock" in the function name is important,
as it clearly states the function obtains a lock and makes the code more
readable, especially when it comes to cleanup / unlocking.  The ultimate
function name is somewhat open for debate though so later we may rename.

d396100278 Use readahead of underlying device and not default (smaller) one.
When we are stacking LV over device, which has for some reason
increased read_ahead (e.g. MD RAID), the read_ahead hint
for libdevmapper is wrong (it is zero).

If the calculated read_ahead hint is zero, patch uses read_ahead of underlying device
(if first segment is PV) when setting DM_READ_AHEAD_MINIMUM_FLAG.

Because we are using dev-cache, it also store this value to cache for future use
(if several LVs are over one PV, BLKRAGET is called only once for underlying device.)

This should fix all the reamining problems with readahead mismatch reported
for DM over MD configurations (and similar cases).

970f241c52 Check max_lv on only place and force the check only for new volume.
We can temporarily violate max_lv during mirror conversion etc.

(If the operation fails, orphan mirror images are visible to administrator
for manual remove for example. Not that this should ever happen:-)

Force limit only for lvcreate (and vg merge) command.

Patch also adds simple max_lv tests into testsuite

afd9ba98c1 Merge lv_is_displayable and lv_is_visible.
Displayable and visible is the same thing.

returns number of LVs from user perspective.

920e68d603 Fix first_seg() call for empty segment list.
The seg variable is temporary variable for list iterator,
code cannot expect that after iteration it remains NULL
(it contains non-NULL pointer here id list is empty).

Patch fixes first_seg function so it now correctly returns NULL
for empty segment list.

8e1d5615b4 Introduce memory pool per volume group.
Since now, all code reading volume group is responsible for releasing
the memory allocated by calling vg_release(vg).
(For simplicity of use, vg_releae can be called for vg == NULL,
the same logic like free(NULL)).

Also providing simple macro for unlocking & releasing in one step,
tools usualy uses this approach.

The global memory pool (cmd->mem) should be used only for global
physical volume operations.

This patch have to be applied with all subsequent patches to complete
memory pool per vg logic.

Using separate memory pool has quite bit memory saving impact when
using large VGs, this is mainly needed when we have to use
preallocated and locked memory (and should not overflow from that
memory space).

6fe905c705 Properly copy the whole pv structure for later use.
The all_pvs list, used in vg_read, should make its own private
copy of pv structures, otherwise (when vg will use its own pool)
it will point to released memory pool.
The same applies for get_pvs() call.

Patch adds pv_list copy helper and adds explicit memory pool
parameter into _copy_pv.

(Please note that all these helper functions cannot guarantee that
vg related fields are valid - proper vg read & lock must be used
if it is requested.)

7f436a0f39 Fix lv_count when manipulating with snapshots and max_lv is set.
Patch fixes these problems:
 - during the snapshot creation process, it needs create 2 LVs,
   one is cow, second becomes snapshot.
   If the code fails in vg_add_snapshot, code lvcreate will not remove
   LV cow volume.

 - if max_lv is set and VG contains snapshot, it can happen that
   during the activation lv_count is temporarily increased over the limit
   and VG metadata are not properly processed
   see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=490298

 - vgcfgrestore alows restore with max_lv set to lower valuer that actual
   LV count. This later leads to situation that max_lv is completely ignored.

 - vgck doesn't call vg_validate(). It should at least try:-)

8929ce6651 Add --dataalignment to pvcreate to specify alignment of data area. (mbroz)
This patch is not fully tested and leaves some related bugs unfixed.

Intended behaviour of the code now:

  pe_start in the lvm2 format PV label header is set only by pvcreate (or
vgconvert -M2) and then preserved in *all* operations thereafter.

  In some specialist cases, after the PV is added to a VG, the pe_start
field in the VG metadata may hold a different value and if so, it
overrides the other one for as long as the PV is in such a VG.

  Currently, the field storing the size of the data area in the PV label
header always holds 0.  As it only has meaning in the context of a
volume group, it is calculated whenever the PV is added to a VG (and can
be derived from extent_size and pe_count in the VG metadata).

4631e58782 Rename get_vgs() to get_vgnames() and clarify related error messages.
get_vgs() really returns a list of vgnames.  In the future we will use
get_vgs() to return a list of vg structures, similar to get_pvs().
