If we know major:minor number of device (which is known after resume) we will
try to use sysfs to set/get read ahead parameters of device.
This avoid potential problem of blocking commands like 'dmsetup info' awaiting
for device being usable for open/close - i.e. overfilled thin pool may block
such command.
Avoid creation of target type name when it's longer then
DM_MAX_TYPE_NAME (noticed by static analyzer where the
sp.target_type might be missing '\0' at the end.)
Before patch:
$> dmsetup create long
0 1000 looooooooooooooooooooooooooong
^D
device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument
After patch:
$> dmsetup create xxx
0 1000 looooooooooooooooooooooooooong
Target type name looooooooooooooooooooooooooong is too long.
Command failed
Use standard manpage style.
Keep options and commands in alphabetic order.
Added at least a very simply info about some other targets.
TODO: documenting targest needs far more work...
Normally, restart simply means "stop and start" for systemd. However, if
we're installing new versions of the dmeventd binary/libdevmapper, we need
to restart dmeventd. This fails if we have some devices monitored - we need
to call "dmeventd -R" instead.
The "ExecReload" did not work quite well in some old versions of systemd,
systemd assumed that only the configuration is reloaded on "ExecReload",
not the whole binary itself so it lost track of dmeventd daemon (it lost new
dmeventd PID). This is fixed and seems to be working fine now with recent
versions of dmeventd.
When DEBUG_MEM is used, the memory is trashed with extra pattern before real
free() is called, and as this memory was marked as non accessible when used with
valgrind, make it again usable.
Add dm_device_has_mounted_fs fn to check mounted filesystem on a device.
This requires sysfs directory to be correctly set via dm_set_sysfs_dir
(/sys by default). If sysfs dir is not used or it's set incorrectly,
dm_device_has_{holders,mounted_fs} will return 0!
This is a workaround for long-lasting problem with using the WATCH udev
rule. When trying to remove a DM device, this one can still be opened
while processing the event in parallel (generated based on the WATCH
udev rule).
Let's use this until we have a proper solution.
Adding debuging functionality to lock and unlock memory pool.
2 ways to debug code:
crc - is default checksum/hash of the locked pool.
It gets slower when the pool is larger - so the check is only
made when VG is finaly released and it has been used more then
once.Thus the result is rather informative.
mprotect - quite fast all the time - but requires more memory and
currently it is using posix_memalign() - this could be
later modified to use dm_malloc() and align internally.
Tool segfaults when locked memory is modified and core
could be examined for faulty code section (backtrace).
Only fast memory pools could use mprotect for now -
so such debug builds cannot be combined with DEBUG_POOL.
Systemd preloads file descriptors for us and passes them in for
newly spawned daemon when using on-demand fifo (or socket)
based activation.
This patch adds checks for file descriptors preloaded by
systemd and uses them instead of opening the FIFOs again
to properly support on-demand FIFO-based activation.
(We'll change FIFOs to sockets soon - but still this
part of the code will stay almost the same.)
The filename to adjust the oom score was changed in 2.6.36.
We should use oom_score_adj instead of oom_adj (which is still
there under /proc, but it's scheduled for removal in August 2012).
New oom_score_adj uses a range from -1000 (OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN,
disable oom killing) to 1000 (OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX).
and use this for the LVM critical section logic. Also report an error if
code tries to load a table while any device is known to be in the
suspended state.
(If the variety of problems these changes are showing up can't be fixed
before the next release, the error messages can be reduced to debug
level.)
are affected by the move. (Currently it's possible for I/O to become
trapped between suspended devices amongst other problems.
The current fix was selected so as to minimise the testing surface. I
hope eventually to replace it with a cleaner one that extends the
deptree code.
Some lvconvert scenarios still suffer from related problems.
Align strdup char* allocation just on 2 bytes.
It looks like wasting space to align strings on 8 bytes.
(Could be even 1byte - but for hashing it might eventually get better
perfomance - but probably hardly measurable).
TODO: check on various architectures it's not making any problems.
With recent update of dm_report_field_string() API call to accept
completely const objects - we no longer need loose constness here
and keep it forwarding.
LVM doesn't behave correctly if running as non-root user,
there is warning when it detects it.
Despite this, it produces many error messages, saying nothing.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=620571
This patch fixes two things:
1) Removes eror message from device_is_usable() which has no
information value anyway (real warning is printed inside it).
2) it fixes device-mapper initialization, if we support
core dm module autoload and device node is present, it should
fail early and not try recreate existing and correct node.
(non-root == permission denied here)
N.B. In future code should support user roles, some more
drastic checks in code are probably contraproductive now.
dm_hash binary functions takes void* key - so there is no need to cast
pointers to char* (also the hash key does not have trailing '\0').
This is slight API change, but presents no change for the API user side
it just allows to write code easier as the casting could be removed.
When the ->params string is empty - memory access is made on the byte
before allocated buffer (catched by valgrind) - in the case it would
constain 0x20 - it would even overwrite this buffer.
So fix by checking len > 0 before doing such access.
Also slightly optimise this loop from repeated strlen call.
As dm_report_field_string() doesn't modify content of data pointer,
it can be marked as const.
It's slight API change - but doesn't require any change on the user side
and supports wider range of arguments without const casting.
(i.e. we may use as paramater const lv struct this way: &lv->name)
This is to avoid any scanning and processing of DM devices while they are in
suspended state (e.g. a rename while the device is suspended - a CHANGE event
is generated!). Otherwise, any scanning in the rules could end up with locking
the calling process until the device is resumed and so we don't receive a
notification about udev rules completion until then (and that effectively
locks out the process awaiting the notification!).
However, we still keep 'disk' and any 'subsystem' related udev rules running.
We trust these and these should check themselves whether a device is suspended
or not, not trying to run any scanning if it is.
Fix assert abort of dmsetup (when compiled with pool debug)
dmsetup splitname --nameprefixes --noheadings --rows gvg-a2
Move pool begin in the inner loop - otherwise it would using
already 'ended' pool object.
Change API interface to accept even completely const array patterns.
This should present no change for libdm users and allows to pass
pattern arrays without cast to const char **.
Detect existence of new SELinux selabel interface during configure.
Use new dm_prepare_selinux_context instead of dm_set_selinux_context.
We should set the SELinux context before the actual file system object creation.
The new dm_prepare_selinux_context function sets this using the selabel_lookup
fn in conjuction with the setfscreatecon fn. If selinux/label.h interface
(that should be a part of the selinux library) is not found during configure,
we fallback to the original matchpathcon function instead.
Fix memory leak of field_id in _output_field function.
There's been a patch added recently to use dynamic allocation for metadata
tags buffer to remove the 4k limit (for writing metadata out). However, when
using reporting commands like vgs and lvs, we still need to fix libdm reporting
functions themselves to support such long outputs. So the buffer used in those
reporting functions is dynamic now.
The patch also includes a fix for field_id memory leak which was found in
the _output_field function.
We can't rely on the fact that udev should prepare the node with right major
and minor number to trigger the module autoloading. We have to take into
account that the node could be missing or it could exist with improper
major and minor number assigned (e.g. from previous kernel versions in
an environment with static nodes and without udev). Make any corrections
if needed!
This can happen with older rules (without support for synthesized events)
that are still part of initrd while using new udev rules in the system itself.
The consequence was that new udev rules incorrectly assumed that not having
DM_UDEV_PRIMARY_SOURCE_FLAG set always means the uevent is synthesized and
inappropriate (device is still not properly activated) and so it should be
ignored. However, initrd is not updated automatically while updating the
libdevmapper/udev rules in the system and so we end up with the rules not
detecting and setting crucial parts in the initrd environment and the rules
in the system that rely on the information that should have been stored in
udev db (which is incorrect in this configuration, of course).
The overall consequence is that the update of libdevmapper/lvm2 without
regenerating the initrd could end up with a boot failure! Ignoring the event
means removing any existing symlinks in /dev!
To fix this, increase udev rules version to make a difference. So from now on,
mark rules without proper support for synthesized events as
DM_UDEV_RULES_VSN="1" and 2 (or higher) if that support is included.
We still need to detect this one! We're not so strict with CHANGE events as
with the ADD events while applying filters in the rules so this one would
pass and it would process the rules prematurely (because it appears *before*
the actual CHANGE event used when resuming a DM device while setting read-only
state at the same time).
udev_sync feature requires semaphores (part of System V IPC) to be configured
in kernel (CONFIG_SYSVIPC). Check whether it is supported and if not, give
a warning message and disable udev synchronisation code automatically to
avoid any further error states and associated problems.
One should use the kernel with System V IPC support enabled or libdevmapper
with udev_sync feature disabled.
Switch dmeventd to use dm_create_lockfile and drop duplicate code.
Allow clvmd pidfile to be configurable.
Switch cmirrord and clvmd to use dm_create_lockfile.
For now, this is just a precaution. Normally, all the other (non-dm) rules
should check DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES_FLAG and therefore avoid setting
any inotify watches as well. But let's make sure.
Support for final assignment of the "nowatch" rule (the use of ":=") will
appear in next udev release, v160. This should also work in previous udev
versions but the setting won't be sealed so any further OPTIONS="watch" will
always prevail there.
We may want to add more specific "nowatch" rules later if needed.
We can use DM_UDEV_PRIMARY_SOURCE_FLAG to identify the spurious events
and use it as an indication that the device has already been activated before
(and hence we can find this property in udev database).
WARNING: This change requires udev startup script to preserve udev database
from initrd. All the information stored there during activation of devices
is important for the initial "udevadm trigger --action=add" call that is
used in udev startup script. If not done this way, udev startup script needs
to define DM_UDEV_PRIMARY_SOURCE_FLAG=1 property for any ADD events it uses.
