Rename dev_read() to dev_read_buf() - the function that reads data
into a supplied buffer.
Introduce a new dev_read() that allocates the buffer it returns and
switch the important users over to this. No caller may change the
returned data. (For now, callers are responsible for freeing it after
use, but later the device layer will take full ownership.)
dev_read_buf() should only be used for tiny buffers or unimportant code
(such as the old disk formats).
Introduce enum dev_io_reason to categorise block device I/O
in debug messages so it's obvious what it is for.
DEV_IO_SIGNATURES /* Scanning device signatures */
DEV_IO_LABEL /* LVM PV disk label */
DEV_IO_MDA_HEADER /* Text format metadata area header */
DEV_IO_MDA_CONTENT /* Text format metadata area content */
DEV_IO_FMT1 /* Original LVM1 metadata format */
DEV_IO_POOL /* Pool metadata format */
DEV_IO_LV /* Content written to an LV */
DEV_IO_LOG /* Logging messages */
The wipe_known_signatures fn now wraps the _wipe_signature fn that is called
for each known signature (currently md, swap and luks). This patch makes the
code more readable, not repeating the same sequence when used anywhere in the
code. We're going to reuse this code later...
Changes:
- move device type registration out of "type filter" (filter.c)
to a separate and new dev-type.[ch] for common use throughout the code
- the structure for keeping the major numbers detected for available
device types and available partitioning available is stored in
"dev_types" structure now
- move common partitioning detection code to dev-type.[ch] as well
together with other device-related functions bound to dev_types
(see dev-type.h for the interface)
The dev-type interface contains all common functions used to detect
subsystems/device types, signature/superblock recognition code,
type-specific device properties and other common device properties
(bound to dev_types), including partitioning support.
- add dev_types instance to cmd context as cmd->dev_types for common use
- use cmd->dev_types throughout as a central point for providing
information about device types
Before, we used vg_write_lock_held call to determnine the way a device is
opened. Unfortunately, this opened many devices in RW mode when it was not
really necessary. With the OPTIONS+="watch" rule used in the udev rules,
this could fire numerous events while closing such devices (and it caused
useless scans from within udev rules in return).
A common bug we hit with this was with the lvremove command which was unable
to remove the LV since it was being opened from within the udev rules. This
patch should minimize such situations (at least with respect to LVM handling
of devices).
Though there's still a possibility someone will open a device 'outside' in
parallel and fire the event based on the watch rule when closing a device
once opened for RW.
One shiny day we should use libblkid here. But now using LUKS is
very common together with LVM and pvcreate destroys LUKS completely.
So for user's convenience, try to detect LUKS signature and allow abort.
