After the VG lock is taken for vg_read, reread the mda_header
and compare the metadata text offset and checksum to what was
seen during label scan. If it is unchanged, then the metadata
has not changed since the label scan, and the metadata does not
need to be reread under the lock for command processing.
For commands that do not make changes (e.g. reporting), the
mda_header is reread and checked on one mda to decide if the
full metadata rereading can be skipped. For other commands
(e.g. modifying the vg) the mda_header is reread and checked
from all PVs. (These could probably just check one mda also.)
Let vgck --updatemetadata repair cases where different mdas
hold indepedently valid but unmatching copies of the metadata,
i.e. different text metadata checksums or text metadata sizes.
Usually md components are eliminated in label scan and/or
duplicate resolution, but they could sometimes get into
the vg_read stage, where set_pv_devices compares the
device to the PV.
If set_pv_devices runs an md component check and finds
one, vg_read should eliminate the components.
In set_pv_devices, run an md component check always
if the PV is smaller than the device (this is not
very common.) If the PV is larger than the device,
(more common), do the component check when the config
setting is "auto" (the default).
Previously the VG metadata description field (which contains
the command line) was only included in backup/archive copies
of the metadata. Now also include it in the metadata written
to the metadata areas.
uses vg_write to correct more common or less severe issues,
and also adds the ability to repair some metadata corruption
that couldn't be handled previously.
mda's that cannot be processed by lvm because of
some corruption can be kept on a separate list.
These will be used for more advanced repair in a
subsequent commit.
When reading metadata headers and text, use a new set
of flags to identify specific errors that are seen.

Add function for estimation of thin-pool metadata size for given size of
data. Function is using already existing internal API so it can
be reused for resize of thin-pool data.
. When using default settings, this commit should change
nothing. The first PE continues to be placed at 1 MiB
resulting in a metadata area size of 1020 KiB (for
4K page sizes; slightly smaller for larger page sizes.)
. When default_data_alignment is disabled in lvm.conf,
align pe_start at 1 MiB, based on a default metadata area
size that adapts to the page size. Previously, disabling
this option would result in mda_size that was too small
for common use, and produced a 64 KiB aligned pe_start.
. Customized pe_start and mda_size values continue to be
set as before in lvm.conf and command line.
. Remove the configure option for setting default_data_alignment
at build time.
. Improve alignment related option descriptions.
. Add section about alignment to pvcreate man page.
Previously, DEFAULT_PVMETADATASIZE was 255 sectors.
However, the fact that the config setting named
"default_data_alignment" has a default value of 1 (MiB)
meant that DEFAULT_PVMETADATASIZE was having no effect.
The metadata area size is the space between the start of
the metadata area (page size offset from the start of the
device) and the first PE (1 MiB by default due to
default_data_alignment 1.) The result is a 1020 KiB metadata
area on machines with 4KiB page size (1024 KiB - 4 KiB),
and smaller on machines with larger page size.
If default_data_alignment was set to 0 (disabled), then
DEFAULT_PVMETADATASIZE 255 would take effect, and produce a
metadata area that was 188 KiB and pe_start of 192 KiB.
This was too small for common use.
This is fixed by making the default metadata area size a
computed value that matches the value produced by
default_data_alignment.
Native disk scanning is now both reduced and
async/parallel, which makes it comparable in
performance (and often faster) when compared
to lvm using lvmetad.
Autoactivation now uses local temp files to record
online PVs, and no longer requires lvmetad.
There should be no apparent command-level change
in behavior.
As we start refactoring the code to break dependencies (see doc/refactoring.txt),
I want us to use full paths in the includes (eg, #include "base/data-struct/list.h").
This makes it more obvious when we're breaking abstraction boundaries, eg, including a file in
metadata/ from base/
After reading a VG, stash it in lvmcache as "saved_vg".
Before reading the VG again, try to use the saved_vg.
The saved_vg is dropped on VG lock operations.
When process_each_pv() calls vg_read() on the orphan VG, the
internal implementation was doing an unnecessary
lvmcache_label_scan() and two unnecessary label_read() calls
on each orphan. Some of those unnecessary label scans/reads
would sometimes be skipped due to caching, but the code was
always doing at least one unnecessary read on each orphan.
The common format_text case was also unecessarily calling into
the format-specific pv_read() function which actually did nothing.
By analyzing each case in which vg_read() was being called on
the orphan VG, we can say that all of the label scans/reads
in vg_read_orphans are unnecessary:
1. reporting commands: the information saved in lvmcache by
the original label scan can be reported. There is no advantage
to repeating the label scan on the orphans a second time before
reporting it.
2. pvcreate/vgcreate/vgextend: these all share a common
implementation in pvcreate_each_device(). That function
already rescans labels after acquiring the orphan VG lock,
which ensures that the command is using valid lvmcache
information.
New label_scan function populates bcache for each device
on the system.
The two read paths are updated to get data from bcache.
The bcache is not yet used for writing. bcache blocks
for a device are invalidated when the device is written.
Fix missing 'externalLV' traversing for thins with external origins.
Replace extra for_each_sub_lv_except_pools() with better
internal logic allowing selectively to cut of processed subLV tree.
Extend error code for function 'fn()' when it returns -1 it will
stop futher tree scan for given LV.
Also a bit simplify code to have only one place that
is calling 'fn()' and use level counter to know
depth of traversing.
Update renaming travering to skip trees for pools
and external origins.
Mark the first metadata area on each text format PV as MDA_PRIMARY.
Pass this information down to the device layer so that when
there are two metadata areas on a block device, we can easily
distinguish two independent streams of I/O.
Unconditionally guard there is at least 1/4 of metadata volume
free (<16Mib) or 4MiB - whichever value is smaller.
In case there is not enough free space do not let operation proceed and
recommend thin-pool metadata resize (in case user has not
enabled autoresize, manual 'lvextend --poolmetadatasize' is needed).
Add support for making an interconnection between thin LV segment and
its indirect origin (which may be historical or live LV) - add a new
"indirect_origin" argument to attach_pool_lv function.
The add_glv_to_indirect_glvs is a helper function that registers a
volume represented by struct generic_logical_volume instance ("glv")
as an indirect user of another volume ("origin_glv") and vice versa -
it also registers the other volume ("origin_glv") as indirect_origin
of user volume ("glv").
The remove_glv_from_indirect_glvs does the opposite.
Add new test for lv_is_snapshot().
Also move few other bitchecks into same place as remaining bit tests.
TODO: drop lv_is_merging_origin() and keep using lv_is_merging().
We do not won't to 'expose' internals of VG struct.
ATM we use lists to keep all LVs - we may want to switch
to better struct for quicker 'search'.
Since we do not need 'lists' but always actual LV,
switch find_lv_in_vg_by_lvid() to return LV,
and replaces some use case of find_lv_in_vg()
with 'better' working find_lv() which already
returns LV.
Refactor the recent metadata-reading optimisation patches.
Remove the recently-added cache fields from struct labeller
and struct format_instance.
Instead, introduce struct lvmcache_vgsummary to wrap the VG information
that lvmcache holds and add the metadata size and checksum to it.
Allow this VG summary information to be looked up by metadata size +
checksum. Adjust the debug log messages to make it clear when this
shortcut has been successful.
(This changes the optimisation slightly, and might be extendable
further.)
Add struct cached_vg_fmtdata to format-specific vg_read calls to
preserve state alongside the VG across separate calls and indicate
if the details supplied match, avoiding the need to read and
process the VG metadata again.
for_each_sub_lv() now scans in depth also pools, however for
rename we actually do want to skip pools.
So add a new for_each_sub_lv_except_pools() to be used by rename,
every other user of for_each_sub_lv() scans every sub LV with pools
included.
This is i.e. necessary for properly working preload of pools
that are using raid arrays.
Drop unused passed cmd pointer from function.
TODO:
We have two similar functions (though not identical)
lv_manip.c: for_each_sub_lv()
metadata.c: _lv_each_dependency()
They seem to not always match - we should probably convert
to use only a single function.
