Internal _alloc_init() is only called from allocate_extents(),
which already does prevent usage of virtual segments.
So mark as internal error early and do not process it any further.
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().
Include brackets for the name if the dev is invisible.
This change applies to all callers of _format_pvsegs fn:
- lvseg_devices (the "lvs -o devices")
- lvseg_metadata_devices (the "lvs -o metadata_devices)
- lvseg_seg_pe_ranges (the "lvs -o seg_pe_ranges")
- lvseg_seg_metadata_le_ranges (the "lvs -o seg_metadata_le_ranges")
The common lv_pool_lv fn avoids code duplication and also
the reporting part now uses _lvname_disp and _uuid_disp to display
name and uuid respectively, including brackets for the name if the
dev is invisible.
The common lv_metadata_lv fn avoids code duplication and also
the reporting part now uses _lvname_disp and _uuid_disp to display
name and uuid respectively, including brackets for the name if the
dev is invisible.
The common lv_data_lv fn avoids code duplication and also
the reporting part now uses _lvname_disp and _uuid_disp to display
name and uuid respectively, including brackets for the name if the
dev is invisible.
The common lv_mirror_log_lv fn avoids code duplication and also
the reporting part now uses _lvname_disp and _uuid_disp to display
name and uuid respectively, including brackets for the name if the
dev is invisible.
The common lv_origin_lv fn avoids code duplication and also
the reporting part now uses _lvname_disp and _uuid_disp to display
name and uuid respectively, including brackets for the name if the
dev is invisible.
The common lv_convert_lv fn avoids code duplication and also
the reporting part now uses _lvname_disp and _uuid_disp to display
name and uuid respectively, including brackets for the name if the
dev is invisible.
Use common _lvname_disp to report lv_parent. The _lvname_disp
takes care of properly marking LVs which are not visible - such
LVs are always enclosed in brackets when reported within any
other field.
For example, thin pool over RAID.

Do not mix dm_report_field_set_value and _field_set_value and
use single function call throughout for clarity. The same applies
for dm_report_field_string and _string_disp.
Fix regression caused by commit c2d4330f27
which removed the dm_pool_strdup for the cache policy name in
_cache_policy_disp report function.
This regression was hit with buffered reporting only (which is
used by default). The reason is that for buffered reporting, we're
iterating over LVs in VG (process_each_lv) while gathering
all the information that is needed for the report. In this case,
the LV's cache policy name has not been duped, but only the pointer
to the original VG buffer was stored. When the LV iteration finished,
the VG buffer was freed and any report to output called later
(dm_report_output call) accessed already freed VG data.
This didn't appear if unbuffered reporting was used (--unbuffered)
because in this case, the data were reported to output as
soon as they were processed, hence it was reported to output
before the VG data was freed.
Have commands send lvmlockd the update message
in vg_write instead of vg_commit, so that it's
not done while LVs are suspended. If the vg_write
is not committed, and the seqno sent to lvmlockd
is not used, then lvmlockd can detect this when
the next update uses the same seqno.
Use process_each_vg() to lock and read the old VG,
and then call the main vgrename code.
When real VG names are used (not a UUID in place of the
old name), the command still pre-locks the new name
(when strcmp wants it locked first), before calling
process_each_vg on the old name.
In the case where the old name is replaced with a UUID,
process_each_vg now translates that UUID into the real
VG name, which it locks and reads. In this case, we
cannot do pre-locking to maintain lock ordering because
the old name is unknown. So, in this case the strcmp
based lock ordering is suppressed and the old name is
always locked first. This opens a remote chance for
lock ordering conflict between racing vgrenames between
two names where one or both commands use the UUID.
Before commit c1f246fedf,
_get_all_devices() did a full device scan before
get_vgnameids() was called. The full scan in
_get_all_devices() is from calling dev_iter_create(f, 1).
The '1' arg forces a full scan.
By doing a full scan in _get_all_devices(), new devices
were added to dev-cache before get_vgnameids() began
scanning labels. So, labels would be read from new devices.
(e.g. by the first 'pvs' command after the new device appeared.)
After that commit, _get_all_devices() was called
after get_vgnameids() was finished scanning labels.
So, new devices would be missed while scanning labels.
When _get_all_devices() saw the new devices (after
labels were scanned), those devices were added to
the .cache file. This meant that the second 'pvs'
command would see the devices because they would be
in .cache.
Now, the full device scan is factored out of
_get_all_devices() and called by itself at the
start of the command so that new devices will
be known before get_vgnameids() scans labels.
Since we mark cache-pool as 'hidden/private' while it is in-use,
we may still allow user to change it's name.
It should not cause any harm and user may prefer better naming
for a cache-pool in use.
It's getting a bit more complex here.
Basic idea behind is - check_current_backup() should not
log error when a user is using a read-only filesystem,
so e.g. vgscan will not report any error when it tries
to take missing backup.
We still have cases when error could be reported though,
e.g. the backup this would be a symbolic link, but these
are rather misconfiguration and unexpected case.
We have to modes of 'archive()' usage -
1. compulsory - fail stops command and user may try '-An' option
to do a command.
2. non-compulsory - some fails in archiving are ignorable (i.e.
read-only filesystem where archive dir is located).
Those 2 cases needs to be properly handle - i.e. the non-compulsory
logging should not be tampering error logging message production.
So more work here is needed
Pass full buffer size to printf() function - no reason to make
buffer 1 char smaller.
Also rename locn buffer to message buffer directly since it's
not used for anything else.
TODO: we may use same buffer also for 'buf[]' since there is
no collision - so may safe 1K on stack usage.
When two different VGs with the same name exist,
they are both stored in lvmcache using the vginfo->next
list. Previously, the code would print warnings (sometimes)
when adding VGs to this list. Now the duplicate VG names
are handled by higher level code, so this list no longer
needs to print warnings about duplicate VG names being found.
After recent changes to process_each, vg_read() is usually
given both the vgname and vgid for the intended VG.
However, in some cases vg_read() is given a vgid with
no vgname, or is given a vgname with no vgid.
When given a vgid with no vgname, vg_read() uses lvmcache
to look up the vgname using the vgid. If the vgname is
not found, vg_read() fails.
When given a vgname with no vgid, vg_read() should also
use lvmcache to look up the vgid using the vgname.
If the vgid is not found, vg_read() fails.
If the lvmcache lookup finds multiple vgids for the
vgname, then the lookup fails, causing vg_read() to fail
because the intended VG is uncertain.
Usually, both vgname and vgid for the intended VG are passed
to vg_read(), which means the lvmcache translations
between vgname and vgid are not done.
When not using lvmetad, this uses the system_id field in
the cached vginfo structs that are populated during a scan.
When using lvmetad, this requests the VG from lvmetad, and
checks the system_id field in the returned metadata.
When the command already knows both the vgid and vgname,
it should send both to lvmetad for a more exact request,
and it can save lvmetad the work of a name lookup.
Remove long outstand unused code lines, which were already
been obsoleted by other code.
Statuses and snapshot tree creation is already handled differently.
Also drop some 'extra' log_error() and use only stack;
since error has already been reported.
Since we do not use dev_manager in a way we would have destroyed VG
content while in-use - we could safely keep just pointer.
So dropping strdup.
Also it seems we actually no longer use vg_name for anything
so it may possibly go away completely unless it would be useful
for debugging...
Just for convenience to display all new configuration settings
introduced since given version (before, there was only --atversion
to display settings introduced in concrete version).
For example:
$ lvmconfig --type new --sinceversion 2.2.120
allocation {
# cache_mode="writethrough"
# cache_settings {
# }
}
global {
use_lvmlockd=0
# lvmlockd_lock_retries=3
# sanlock_lv_extend=256
use_lvmpolld=1
}
activation {
}
# report {
# compact_output_cols=""
# time_format="%Y-%m-%d %T %z"
# }
local {
# host_id=0
}
Unifying terminology.
Since all the metadata in-use are ALWAYS on disk - switch
to terminology committed and precommitted.
Patch has no functional change inside.
lv preload for detached LVs started to be used also
for various other types which just happens to pass through
weak if() condition.
TODO: find here better solution to rather explicitly check
for types we really need to preload.
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.
When 'lvextend -L+XX vg/thinpool' do not leave inactive table
loaded for 'wrapping' LV on top of resized thin-pool
(ATM we use linear LV for this with same size as thin-pool).
Udev recently start to 'link-in' major amount of useless libs.
(Seem to be faulty 'systemd' link-in all issue)
Anyway - avoid locking those libs in RAM.
Coverity here is a bit 'blind' here and cannot resolve which
code paths are actually able to hit this code path.
(It's using 'statistic' to resolve all possible paths,
and it's not scanning 'individual' code paths.)
This just cleans warns and add 'cheap' tests.
Use 'mda' instead of NULL to quite Coverity warn.
However this code seems to be actually not even possible to hit.
With proper analysis it may possibly be dropped from code to
simplify logic.
Skip testing target_pvs for NULL, we already
dereference it in many other places.
If check would ever be needed - it needs to be
in front of _raid_extract_images().
When reading older lvm2 metadata for cache-pool - we now handle more
extended syntax - basically we want to enter most setting when
actually creating cached LV.
For this new validation code has been added. However older metadata
without new settings set is now found as invalid.
Fix it by adding default settings for cache policy mq
and cache mode writethrough.
Here Coverity cannot see the pointer cannot be NULL in this
code path - opened coverity case #00531860.
We could make a model to avoid seeing related reports,
but then we loose coverage for modeled function.
So decided to add minor hint for this case.
The udev_device_get_is_initialized is available since libudev version
165. Older versions are still used somewhere (e.g. RHEL6). So better
check for this fn and use it only if it's available.
Udev db records are marked as not initialized (incomplete) on timeout.
Issue an error message whenever LVM finds such records so users are
aware that something's going wrong with udev db.
This is important in case we use devices/external_device_info_source="udev"
where udev database records are used to do various filtering decisions.
For example:
udev log of timed out worker:
Nov 11 13:02:25 raw.virt systemd-udevd[607]: seq 1997 '/devices/virtual/block/dm-2' is taking a long time
Nov 11 13:04:25 raw.virt systemd-udevd[607]: seq 1997 '/devices/virtual/block/dm-2' killed
Nov 11 13:04:25 raw.virt systemd-udevd[607]: worker [11221] terminated by signal 9 (Killed)
Nov 11 13:04:25 raw.virt systemd-udevd[607]: worker [11221] failed while handling '/devices/virtual/block/dm-2'
...
LVM also issues error message visibly if incomplete udev db record is found,
devices/external_device_info_source="udev" is set:
$ pvs
Udev database has incomplete information about device /dev/dm-2.
Failed to get external handle for device /dev/dm-2 [udev].
...
Coverity noticed this condition is always false and the error
path could never be visited.
So check for all mismatches of supported messages
and actually mark log_error as internal error.
Doing 'stat' checking first and later opening is racy.
And since we do not really care about any 'status' info
here and we read 'sysfs' here - just drop whole 'stat()'
call and directly handle error from failing 'fopen()'.
Currently the code creates the log separately after allocating space for
the data and as no data allocation is needed this second time,
total_extents ends up holding zero so use new_extents directly instead.
When reading a foreign VG we cannot write it, since
it belongs to another host. When reading a shared VG
we cannot write it because we may not have an ex lock.
(Or we may be reading the shared VG while not using
lvmlockd in which case it's like reading a foreign VG.)
Add the same checks for wiping outdated PVs. We may
read a foreign or shared VG, or see the PVs, while
another host is part way through writing a new version
of the VG to the PVs. This might cause us to think
some of the PVs are outdated. We do not want to
write another host's PVs, especially when we may
wrongly conclude they are outdated.
When the command gets a list of alternate devices
from lvmetad, log each one directly. This is not
the same as the warnings when adding lvmcache,
which are related to which duplicate is preferred.
The str_list_destroy function may be called to cleanup memory when
the list is not used anymore and the list itself was not allocated
from the memory pool.
When checking minimum mda size, make sure the mda_size after alignment
and calculation is more than 0 - if there's no place for an MDA at the
end of the disk, the _text_pv_add_metadata_area does not try to add it
there and it returns (because we already have the MDA at the start of
the disk at least).
Actually, we don't need extra condition as introduced in commit
00348c0a63. We should fix the last
condition:
(mdac->rlocn.size >= mdah->size)
...which should be:
(MDA_HEADER_SIZE + (rlocn ? rlocn->size : 0) + mdac->rlocn.size >= mdah->size))
Where the "mdac" is new metadata, the "rlocn" is old metadata.
So the main problem with the previous condition was that it
didn't count in MDA_HEADER_SIZE properly (and possible existing
metadata - the "rlocn"). This could have caused the error state
where metadata in ring buffer overlap to not be hit.
Replace the new condition introduced in 00348c0a63
with the improved one for the condition that existed there
already but it was just incomplete.
We're already checking whether old and new meta do not overlap in
ring buffer (as we need to keep both old and new meta during vg_write
up until vg_commit).
We also need to check whether the new metadata do not overlap
themselves in case we don't have old metadata yet (...because
we're in vgcreate). This could happen if we're creating a VG so
that the very first metadata written are long enough that it wraps
themselves in metadata ring buffer.
Although we limited the minimum metadata area size better with the
previous commit ccb8da404d which
makes the initial VG metadata overlap in ring buffer to be less
probable, the risk of hitting this overlap condition is still there
if we still manage to generate big enough metadata somehow.
For example, users can provide many and/or long VG tags during vgcreate
so that the VG metadata is long enough to start to wrap in the ring
buffer again...
This option could never have been printed in lvm2 metadata, so it could
be safely removed as it could have been set only as 0.
These configurable setting is supported via metadata profile.
Now with correctly functioning dmeventd enable usage of
low_water_mark for faster reaction on pool's threshold.
When user select e.g. 80% as a threshold value,
dmeventd doesn't need to wait 10 seconds till monitoring
timer expires, but nearly instantly resizes thin-pool
to fit bellow threshold.
The former patch(dab3ebce4c) is a little bit strict. For example, it is
OK to create PV on unpartitioned DASD devices with LDL formatted. So
after lvm version containing the patch, LVs created on those devices
could not be found.

Recognize the target only 'extends' and do not enforce
'flush' in this case. Only the size reduction
still requires flush (so disables usage of no_flush flag).
If some other targets do require flush before suspend,
they have to explicitly ask for it.
While the activation code tries to evaluate which target
really needs flush with suspend and which may go without flush,
it has stayed effectively disabled by original commit:
33f732c5e9 since here
it only allows to pass non-pvmoving 'mirrors'.
So remove check for mirror LV type and only disable
no_flush for 'pvmove'..
TODO: Looking into history - it also seemed like raid target
would have always required flushing but it's been later
removed without clean explanation.
If some more targets really do need 'no_flush' it should
been handle at their 'level' - since we now stack multiple
targets over itself.
Use single code to evaluate if the percentage value has
crossed threshold.
Recalculate amount value to always fit bellow
threshold so there are not need any extra reiterations
to reach this state in case policy amount is too small.
Since plugin's percentage compare has been fixed,
it's now revealed wrong compare here.
The logic for threshold is - to allow to go as high
as given value e.g. 80% - so if pool is exactlu 80%
full it's still allowed to use it (dmeventd will not
resize it).
Running "vgremove -f VG & pvs" results in the pvs
command reporting that the VG is not found or is
inconsistent. If the VG is gone or being removed,
the pvs command should just skip it and not print
errors about it.
"Not found" is because the pvs command created the
list of VGs to process, including VG, then vgremove
removed the VG, then the pvs command came to to read
the VG to process it and did not find it.
An "inconsistent" error could be reported if vgremove
had only partially completed removing VG when pvs did
vg_read on the VG to process it, causing pvs to find
the VG in a partially-removed state.
This fix adds a flag that pvs uses to ignore a VG
that can't be read or is inconsistent.
When lvmetad is used and lvmcache update function (lvmcache_update_vgname_and_id)
was called to update existing lvmcache records, a condition was met
which made to retun from the update function immediately, effectively
making it NOOP.
It seems there's no reason for such condition and lvmcache should be
update appropriately even when lvmetad used as lvmcache may be reused,
most notably in lvm shell.
It's possible this is a remnant of the lvmetad development code which
didn't get removed for some reason and the bug didn't get spotted
because lvm shell is not used often (the condition dates back to 2012
or so).
Example, lvmetad and lvm shell used:
lvm> pvs
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/sda vg lvm2 a-- 124.00m 124.00m
Before this patch:
==================
lvm> vgremove vg
Volume group "vg" successfully removed
lvm> pvs
With this patch applied:
========================
lvm> vgremove vg
Volume group "vg" successfully removed
lvm> pvs
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/sda lvm2 --- 128.00m 128.00m
The lvmcache info might be resued, most notably in lvm shell.
We need to be sure that even lvmcache_info marked as invalid
is removed from the lvmcache so it does not confuse any subsequent
code/commands executed later on.
Problematic example with the lvm shell:
lvm> pvs
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/sda lvm2 --- 128.00m 128.00m
Before this patch (/dev/sda still displayed in a way):
======================================================
lvm> pvremove /dev/sda
Labels on physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully wiped
(without lvmetad)
lvm> pvs
No physical volume label read from /dev/sda
(with lvmetad)
lvm> pvs
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/sda lvm2 --- 128.00m 128.00m
With this patch applied:
========================
lvm> pvremove /dev/sda
Labels on physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully wiped

lvm> pvs

lvm> pvs
Make lvm2_disable_dmeventd_monitoring() more explicit.
As memlock_inc_daemon() is also used by clvmd, which
does changes dmeventd and suspend ignore state at
some stages - make updates of these 2 variable
tied to the call of lvm2_disable_dmeventd_monitoring().
Once this call is made dmeventd monitoring
and suspended devices are ignored.
TODO: all lvm-global settings should really be moved
to command context.
The old code made two loops through the PVs: in the first
loop it found the max PV and VG name lengths, and in the
second loop it printed each PV using the name lengths as
field widths for aligning columns.
The new code uses process_each_pv() which makes one loop
through the PVs. In the *first* call to pvscan_single(),
the max name lengths are found by looping through the
lvmcache entries which have been populated by the generic
process_each code prior to calling any _single functions.
Subsequent calls to pvscan_single() reuse the max lengths
that were found by the first call.
The new report/compact_output_cols setting has exactly the same effect
as report/compact_output setting. The difference is that with the new
setting it's possible to define which cols should be compacted exactly
in contrast to all cols in case of report/compact_output.
In case both compact_output and compact_output_cols is enabled/set,
the compact_output prevails.
For example:
$ lvmconfig --type full report/compact_output report/compact_output_cols
compact_output=0
compact_output_cols=""
$ lvs vg
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Meta% Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert
lvol0 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m

$ lvmconfig --type full report/compact_output report/compact_output_cols

$ lvs vg

---
$ lvmconfig --type full report/compact_output report/compact_output_cols
compact_output=1
compact_output_cols="data_percent,metadata_percent,pool_lv,move_pv,origin"
$ lvs vg

lvol0 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m
This reverts commit 1b1c01a27b.
This caused messages to get dropped instead of logged into the log file.
(The log file and log function are independent at the moment.)
Some signatures are spread around the disk in several copies, mainly for
backup. Make libblkid to detect these extra copies - there was missing
"blkid_probe_step_back" fn call after successful wipe of previous signature
copy.

$ mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1

If lvmlockd is running, lvmetad is configured (use_lvmetad=1),
but lvmetad is not running, then commands will seg fault
when trying to send a message to lvmetad.
The difference is lvmetad being "active", not just "used".
We already have pv_count to report number of PVs that a VG has based
on metadata.
This patch exposes the information about how many of these PVs are
missing which is also useful information for a VG. Wwe could count
the sum of pv_missing reporting fields for each PV in the VG before,
but the new field is practical when reporting VG as a whole and there's
no need to process each PV from VG alone.
If 'vgcreate --shared' finds both sanlock and dlm are running,
print a more accurate error message:
"Found multiple lock managers, select one with --lock-type."
When neither is running, we still print:
"Failed to detect a running lock manager to select lock type."
Also, leave out the note about "circular buffer" which is
an internal imeplementation detail anyway and not quite
informational for users:

Add metadata_devices and seg_metadata_le_ranges report fields.
Currently only defined for raid, but should probably be extended
to all other segment types that don't report all their device
usage in the 'devices' field.
When lvmetad_pvscan_vg() reads VG metadata from each PV,
it compares it to the last one to verify it matches.
If the VG metadata does not match on the PVs, an error
is printed and it fails to read the VG. In this error
case, use log_debug to show the differences between
the two unmatching copies of the metadata.
One host changes a VG, making the cached VG on another
host invalid. The other host then rereads the VG from
disk to get the latest copy. If the first host removed
a PV from the VG, the second host attempts to reread the
VG from old PV when rescanning. Reading the VG from the
removed PV fails, causing vg_read to return "VG not found".
The fix is to simply not fail when a VG is not found while
rereading a PV and continue without it.
(This doesn't happen if the second host happens to first
run a command like 'vgs' that triggers a global revalidation
of metadata.)
vgchange --lock-type iterates through LVs to ensure
no LVs are active before changing the lock type of
the VG, but the loop was not checking that an LV
actually has a lock before trying it, so it would
fail if the VG had any LVs that don't use locks,
e.g it would fail on a tmeta LV from a pool.
When using lvm shell, some structures which are cached in memory may be
reused. This happens for the struct label (a part of lvmcache_info
structure) when lvmetad is used in which case the PV scan is not
done that would normally overwrite these label structures in memory
and making them up-to-date.
This is all consequence of the fact that struct lvmcache_info and
struct label are not always assigned in the same part of the code.
For example, if lvmetad *is not* used, parts of the struct label are
reassigned in label_read fn while struct lvmcache_info is created
elsewhere. No part of the code reused struct label (and its "dev"
field) before calling label_read fn. That's why the real bug is
hidden when using lvm shell without lvmetad.
However, with lvmetad and lvm shell, the situation is a bit different.
The label_read fn is not called if lvmetad *is* used, hence the
struct label may have ended up not initialized properly.
There was missing assignment for the dev field in struct label
in _text_pv_write fn which caused this problem to appear in
lvm shell with lvmetad, for example:
Before this patch:
lvm> pvcreate /dev/sda
Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
lvm> pvs /dev/sda
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
unknown device lvm2 --- 128.00m 128.00m
With this patch applied:
lvm> pvcreate /dev/sda
Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
lvm> pvs /dev/sda
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/sda lvm2 --- 128.00m 128.00m
Also, this problem had not appeared before changes introduced
by commits e1a63905d1 through
3a6f91d713 which, among other
things, added proper label field type reporting. Before, label
reporting was the same as using struct physical_volume which
has its own dev field assigned and so this problem was not exposed.
When a command does a sequence of
vg_write + vg_commit + vg_write + vg_commit,
initialization of non-PV devices happens during the
first vg_write, and does not need to be repeated by
the second vg_write.
When creating a lockd VG, this sequence occurs because
the VG is first created, then the lockd data is created,
then the lockd data is then written to the VG metadata.
This applies the same rule/logic to dlm VGs that has always
existed for sanlock VGs. Allowing a dlm VG to be removed
while its lockspace was still running on other hosts largely
worked, but there were difficult problems if another VG with
the same name was recreated. Forcing the VG lockspace to
be stopped, gives both sanlock and dlm VGs the same behavior.
