Before printing a commented automatic config value,
print a line describing what it is. Otherwise, the
commented value can look like it's a part of an
example preceding it.
Move code which runtime detects settings for cache_policy
out of config dir to cache seg handling code.
Also mark cache_mode as command profilable setting.
As cache_policy is evaluated in runtime, we no longer should use
CFG_COMMENTED, but have to switch to CFG_UNDEFINED.
So as long as the value is undefined, it's runtime evaluated.
Once it's set - it's always respected (no runtime fallback).
Also fix version of introduced settings to 2.2.128.
Add code to detect available cache features.
Support policy_mq & policy_smq features which might be disabled.
Introduce global_cache_disabled_features_CFG.
Add new profilable configurables:
allocation/cache_policy
allocation/cache_settings
and mark allocation/cache_pool_chunk_size as profilable as well.
Obsolete allocation/cache_pool_cachemode and
introduce new allocation/cache_mode instead.
Rename DEFAULT_CACHE_POOL_POLICY to DEFAULT_CACHE_POLICY.
The CFG_SECTION_NO_CHECK flag can be used to mark a section
and its whole subtree as containing settings where checks
won't be made (lvmconfig --validate).
These are setting where we don't know the names and and type
in advance and they're recognized in runtime. As we don't know
the type and name in advance, we can't do any checks here
of course.
Use this flag with great care as it disables config checks
for the whole config subtree found under such section.
This flag is going to be used by subsequent patches from
Zdenek to support some cache settings...
Commit 7e728fe1a1 added a log call
directly in find_config_tree_array when defaults are used.
This patch also adds the log for the value which is found in
existing configuration and for which defaults are not used.
For example:
Defaults used:
config/config.c:1428 devices/scan not found in config: defaulting to scan = [ "/dev" ]
Value defined in configuration used:
config/config.c:1431 Setting devices/scan to scan = [ "/dev", "/mydev", "/abc" ]
This makes the logging consistent with the other find_config_tree_* functions.
Require global/{thin,cache}_{check,repair}_options to be always defined.
If not defined directly by user in the configuration and if there's no
concrete default option to use, make "" (empty string) the default one -
it's then clearly visible in the "lvmconfig --type default" (and
generated lvm.conf) and also it makes its handling in the code more
straightforward so we don't need to handle undefined values.
This means, if there are no default values for these settings defined,
we end up with this generated now:
{thin,cache}_{check,repair}_options = [ "" ]
So the value is never undefined and if it is, it's an error.
(The cache_repair_options is actually not used in the code at the moment,
but once the code using this setting is in, it will follow the same logic
as used for thin_repair_options.)
Before, we used general find_config_tree_node function to retrieve
array values. This had a downside where if the node was not found,
we had to insert default values directly in-situ after the
find_config_tree_node call. This way, we had two copies of default
values - one in config_settings.h and the other one directly in the
code where we found out that find_config_tree_node returned NULL and
hence we needed to fall back to defaults.
With separate find_config_tree_array used for array config values,
we keep all the defaults centrally in config_settings.h because
the new find_config_tree_array automatically returns these defaults
if it can't find any value set in the configuration.
This patch just makes the behaviour exactly the same for arrays as
for any other non-array type where we call find_config_tree_<type>
already, hence making the internal interface for handling array
values consistent with the rest of the config types.
including the allow_override_lock_modes setting.
It was not possible to override default lock modes any longer,
since the command line options had already been removed.
A mechanism will probably be required later that puts part of
this back.
Just like we have DEFAULT_USE_LVMETAD (or DEFUALT_USE_LVMPOLLD), use
fallback_to_lvm1=1 lvm.conf setting if we configured lvm2 with
--enable-lvm1-fallback and use fallback_to_lvm1=0 otherwise.
Also, generate proper lvm.conf.in with unconfigured value.
Make it possible to define format for time that is displayed.
The way the format is defined is equal to the way that is used
for strftime function, although not all formatting options as
used in strftime are available for LVM2 - the set is restricted
(e.g. we do not allow newline to be printed). The lvm.conf
comments contain the whole list that LVM2 accepts for time format
together with brief description (copied from strftime man page).
For example:
(defaults used - the format is the same as used before this patch)
$ lvs -o+time vg/lvol0 vg/lvol1
LV VG Attr LSize Time
lvol0 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m 2015-06-25 16:18:34 +0200
lvol1 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m 2015-06-29 09:17:11 +0200
(using 'time_format = "@%s"' in lvm.conf - number of seconds
since the Epoch)
$ lvs -o+time vg/lvol0 vg/lvol1
LV VG Attr LSize Time
lvol0 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m @1435241914
lvol1 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m @1435562231
Do not display settings with undefined default values, but do display
these settings in case the value is defined directly in any part of
the existing config cascade.
For example, the lvmconfig --type current always displays these settings
(as it's somewhere in "current" configuration cascade that makes it defined).
The lvmconfig --type full displays these settings only if it's defined
somewhere in the cascade, but not if default value is used instead
The lvmconfig --type default never displays these settings...
More concrete example - let's have activation/volume_list directly
set in lvm.conf and activation/read_only_volume_list not set.
Both of these settings have *undefined default* values.
$lvmconfig --type full activation/volume_list activation/read_only_volume_list
volume_list="/dev/vg/lv"
(...only volume_list is defined, hence it's printed)
However, the comments will display more info (see also previous commit):
$lvmconfig --type full activation/volume_list activation/read_only_volume_list --withsummary
# Configuration option activation/volume_list.
# Only LVs selected by this list are activated.
# This configuration option does not have a default value defined.
# Value defined in existing configuration has been used for this setting.
volume_list="/dev/vg/lv"
# Configuration option activation/read_only_volume_list.
# LVs in this list are activated in read-only mode.
# This configuration option does not have a default value defined.
Display comment abour value from existing config being used. For example:
$ lvmconfig --type full --withsummary report/compact_output report/buffered
# Configuration option report/compact_output.
# Do not print empty report fields.
# Value defined in existing configuration has been used for this setting.
compact_output=1
# Configuration option report/buffered.
# Buffer report output.
buffered=1
The lvmconfig --type full is actually a combination of --type current
and --type missing together with --mergedconfig options used.
The overall outcome is a configuration tree with settings as LVM sees
it when it looks for the values - that means, if the setting is defined
in some config source (lvm.conf, --config, lvmlocal.conf or any profile
that is used), the setting is used. Otherwise, if the setting is not
defined in any part of the config cascade, the defaults are used.
The --type full displays exactly this final tree with all the values
defined, either coming from configuration tree or from defaults.
We shouldn't be adding spaces by default in output as that
may be be used already in scripts and especially for the eval
in shell scripts where spaces are not allowed between key
and value!
Add --withspaces option to lvmconfig for pretty output with
more space in for readability.
It's not an error to define empty values for
{thin,cache}_{check,repair}_options - such empty value means no
options are passed when these external commands are called.
If blkid wiping is possible, than set use_blkid_wiping=1 and
use_blkid_wiping=0 otherwise for its default value. If blkid wiping
is disabled during configure and use_blkid_wiping=1 is set by chance,
it's simply ignored - this patch is just a cleanup that makes it more
obvious for the user (we use similar logic for use_lvmetad and
use_lvmpolld settings).
Default value for lvmetad and lvmpolld has hooks in configure script,
the "lvmconfig --type default --unconfigured" should display:
use_lvmetad = @DEFAULT_USE_LVMETAD@
use_lvmpolld = @DEFAULT_USE_LVMPOLLD@
Note that these settings are not of string type. Recent change (the
DM_CONFIG_VALUE_FMT_STRING_NO_QUOTES formatting flag) makes it
possible to recognize that the setting is not of string type and if
there's unconfigured value defined for it, the enclosing " " is
automatically removed on output.
Do not use "#S" (blank string) as default value as that ends up with
'key = [ "" ]' to be generated which is not what we want in most cases.
Also, fix default values for global/{thin,cache}_{check,repair}_options
and avoid assigning blank values. For example, the thin_check_options
had this set as default value previously:
"#S" DEFAULT_THIN_CHECK_OPTION1 "#S" DEFAULT_THIN_CHECK_OPTION2
If any (or both) of DEFAULT_THIN_CHECK_OPTION* variables was set
to "", we ended up with clumsy default value generated like:
thin_check_options = [ "-q", "" ]
With this patch, we end up with correct:
thin_check_options = [ "-q" ]
or, if all options are undefined:
thin_check_options = [ ]
Which is the correct way to express this.
There are two basic groups of formatting flags (32 bits):
- common ones applicable for all config value types (lower 16 bits)
- type-related formatting flags (higher 16 bits)
With this patch, we initially support four new flags that
modify the the way the config value is displayed:
Common flags:
=============
DM_CONFIG_VALUE_FMT_COMMON_ARRAY - causes array config values
to be enclosed in "[ ]" even if there's only one item
(previously, there was no way to recognize an array with one
item and scalar value, hence array values with one member
were always displayed without "[ ]" which libdm accepted
when reading, but it may have been misleading for users)
DM_CONFIG_VALUE_FMT_COMMON_EXTRA_SPACE - causes extra spaces to
be inserted in "key = value" (or key = [ value, value, ... ] in
case of arrays), compared to "key=value" seen on output before.
This makes the output more readable for users.
Type-related flags:
===================
DM_CONFIG_VALUE_FMT_INT_OCTAL - prints integers in octal form with
"0" as a prefix (libdm's config reading code can handle this via
strtol just fine so it's properly recognized as number in octal
form already if there's "0" used as prefix)
DM_CONFIG_VALUE_FMT_STRING_NO_QUOTES - makes it possible to print
strings without enclosing " "
This patch also adds dm_config_value_set_format_flags and
dm_config_value_get_format_flags functions to set and get
these formatting flags.
This patch fixes segfault which was caused by incorrectly marking some
settings CFG_DEFAULT_COMMENTED instead of CFG_DEFAULT_UNDEFINED - the
ones which have NULL default value, hence they're really undefined.
A regression caused by a98ceceb1d.
For example:
$ lvmconfig log/file
file="/a"
Before this patch:
$ lvmconfig --type diff
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
With this patch applied:
$ lvmconfig --type diff
log {
file="/a"
}
The same applies for these settings:
log/activate_file
global/library_dir
global/system_id_file
<disk_area>/disk_area_id
There were also other settings with NULL default value and marked as
CFG_DEFAULT_COMMENTED instead of CFG_DEFAULT_UNDEFINED, but they were
cfg_array config settings where the NULL value was not causing segfault
(NULL == empty array).
Use CFG_DEFAULT_COMMENTED and CFG_DEFAULT_UNDEFINED to
replicate the existing comments in example.conf.
Fix host_list to be cfg_array.
UNDEFINED is only used if the value depends on other
system/kernel values outside of lvm. The most common
case is when dm-thin or dm-cache have built-in default
settings in the kernel, and lvm will use those built-in
default values unless the corresponding lvm config setting
is set.
COMMENTED is used to comment out the default setting in
lvm.conf. The effect is that if the LVM version is
upgraded, and the new version of LVM has new built-in
default values, the new defaults are used by LVM unless
the previous default value was set (uncommented) in lvm.conf.
Configure provides proper settings for
use_lvmetad and use_lvmpolld conf setttings.
When the build of polld & lvmetad, these settings
are enabled by default unless explicitelly disabled
with --disable-use-lvmetad/--disable-use-lvmpolld.
This patch adds supporting code for handling deprecated settings.
Deprecated settings are not displayed by default in lvmconfig output
(except for --type current and --type diff). There's a new
"--showdeprecated" lvmconfig option to display them if needed.
Also, when using lvmconfig --withcomments, the comments with info
about deprecation are displayed for deprecated settings and with
lvmconfig --withversions, the version in which the setting was
deprecated is displayed in addition to the version of introduction.
If using --atversion with a version that is lower than the one
in which the setting was deprecated, the setting is then considered
as not deprecated (simply because at that version it was not
deprecated).
For example:
$ lvmconfig --type default activation
activation {
...
raid_region_size=512
...
}
$ lvmconfig --type default activation --showdeprecated
activation {
...
mirror_region_size=512
raid_region_size=512
...
}
$ lvmconfig --type default activation --showdeprecated --withversions
activation {
...
# Available since version 1.0.0.
# Deprecated since version 2.2.99.
mirror_region_size=512
# Available since version 2.2.99.
raid_region_size=512
...
}
$ lvmconfig --type default activation --showdeprecated --withcomments
activation {
...
# Configuration option activation/mirror_region_size.
# This has been replaced by the activation/raid_region_size
# setting.
# Size (in KB) of each copy operation when mirroring.
# This configuration option is deprecated.
mirror_region_size=512
# Configuration option activation/raid_region_size.
# Size in KiB of each raid or mirror synchronization region.
# For raid or mirror segment types, this is the amount of
# data that is copied at once when initializing, or moved
# at once by pvmove.
raid_region_size=512
...
}
$ lvmconfig --type default activation --withcomments --atversion 2.2.98
activation {
...
# Configuration option activation/mirror_region_size.
# Size (in KB) of each copy operation when mirroring.
mirror_region_size=512
...
}
A preparatory code for marking configuration nodes as deprecated:
- struct cfg_def_item gains 2 new fields ("deprecated_since_version" and "deprecation_comment"
- cfg* macros to handle new fields
- related config_settings.h edits to add new fields for each item (null for all at the moment)
Patch with implementation will follow...
Before this patch:
$ lvmconfig --type list --withversions --withsummary global/use_lvmetad
global/use_lvmetad - Use lvmetad to cache metadata and reduce disk scanning. [2.2.93]
$ lvmconfig --type list --withversions global/use_lvmetad
global/use_lvmetad
With this patch applied:
$ lvmconfig --type list --withversions --withsummary global/use_lvmetad
global/use_lvmetad - Use lvmetad to cache metadata and reduce disk scanning. [2.2.93]
$ lvmconfig --type list --withversions global/use_lvmetad
global/use_lvmetad - [2.2.93]
We're commenting out settings with undefined default values.
The comment character '#' was printed at the very beginning of
the line, it should be placed just at the beginning of the setting,
after the space/tab prefix is printed.
Before this patch:
$ lvmconfig --type default activation
activation {
...
# volume_list=[]
...
}
With this patch applied:
$ lvmconfig --type default activation
activation {
...
# volume_list=[]
...
}
These settings are in the "unsupported" group:
devices/loopfiles
log/activate_file
metadata/disk_areas (section)
metadata/disk_areas/<disk_area> (section)
metadata/disk_areas/<disk_area>/size
metadata/disk_areas/<disk_area>/id
These settings are in the "advanced" group:
devices/dir
devices/scan
devices/types
global/proc
activation/missing_stripe_filler
activation/mlock_filter
metadata/pvmetadatacopies
metadata/pvmetadataignore
metadata/stripesize
metadata/dirs
Also, this patch causes the --ignoreunsupported and --ignoreadvanced
switches to be honoured for all config types (lvmconfig --type).
By default, the --type current and --type diff display unsupported
settings, the other types ignore them - this patch also introduces
--showunsupported switch for all these other types to display even
unsupported settings in their output if needed.
lvmconfig --type list displays plain list of configuration settings.
Some of the existing decorations can be used (--withsummary and
--withversions) as well as existing options/switches (--ignoreadvanced,
--ignoreunsupported, --ignorelocal, --atversion).
For example (displaying only "config" section so the list is not long):
$lvmconfig --type list config
config/checks
config/abort_on_errors
config/profile_dir
$ lvmconfig --type list --withsummary config
config/checks - If enabled, any LVM configuration mismatch is reported.
config/abort_on_errors - Abort the LVM process if a configuration mismatch is found.
config/profile_dir - Directory where LVM looks for configuration profiles.
$ lvmconfig -l config
config/checks - If enabled, any LVM configuration mismatch is reported.
config/abort_on_errors - Abort the LVM process if a configuration mismatch is found.
config/profile_dir - Directory where LVM looks for configuration profiles.
$ lvmconfig --type list --withsummary --withversions config
config/checks - If enabled, any LVM configuration mismatch is reported. [2.2.99]
config/abort_on_errors - Abort the LVM process if a configuration mismatch is found. [2.2.99]
config/profile_dir - Directory where LVM looks for configuration profiles. [2.2.99]
Example with --atversion (displaying global section):
$ lvmconfig --type list global

Describe
thin_check_options, thin_repair_options,
cache_check_option, scache_repair_options
as a "list of options", rather than a "string of options"
because a single string, e.g. "-q --clear-needs-check-flag"
does not work, and needs to be entered as a list,
e.g. ["-q", "--clear-needs-check-flag"]
The settings which have their default value evaluated in runtime should
have their 'unconfigured' counterparts also evaluated in runtime since
those values can be constructed by using other settings.
For example, before this patch:
$ lvm dumpconfig --type default --unconfigured devices/cache_dir devices/cache
cache_dir="@DEFAULT_SYS_DIR@/@DEFAULT_CACHE_SUBDIR@"
cache="/etc/lvm/cache/.cache
With this patch applied:
$ lvm dumpconfig --type default --unconfigured devices/cache_dir devices/cache
cache_dir="@DEFAULT_SYS_DIR@/@DEFAULT_CACHE_SUBDIR@"
cache="@DEFAULT_SYS_DIR@/@DEFAULT_CACHE_SUBDIR@/.cache"
The @something@ used for unconfigured default value is not bound to
CFG_TYPE_STRING settings defined in config_settings.h, it can be
used for any other config type too.
By default these are empty strings, so the config settings
should be flagged as undefined, so they will be commented
out of the generated config. Otherwise, the lines:
thin_repair_options=""
cache_repair_options=""
in the dump output cause a warning when processed since
lvm doesn't want an empty string.
Also regenerate lvm.conf.in.
--withfullcomments prints all comment lines for each config option.
--withcomments prints only the first comment line, which should be
a short one-line summary of the option.
Comments from the sample config files are copied into
the comment field of the config settings structure.
This includes only minimal changes to the text.
With this in place, the sample config files can
be generated from 'lvm dumpconfig', and content
for an lvm.conf man page can also be generated.
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.
When reading VG mda from multiple PVs - do all the validation only
when mda is seen for the first time and when mda checksum and length
is same just return already existing VG pointer.
(i.e. using 300PVs for a VG would lead to create and destroy 300 config trees....)
If configuration setting is marked in config_setting.h with CFG_DISABLED
flag, default value is always used for such setting, no matter if it's defined
by user (in --config/lvm.conf/lvmlocal.conf).
A warning message is displayed if this happens:
For example:
[1] f21/~ # lvm dumpconfig --validate
WARNING: Configuration setting global/system_id_source is disabled. Using default value.
LVM configuration valid.
[1] f21/~ # pvs
WARNING: Configuration setting global/system_id_source is disabled. Using default value.
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/sdb lvm2 --- 128.00m 128.00m
...
Allow cmd->unknown_system_id to be cleared during toolcontext
refresh.
Set a default value of "none" for global/system_id_source.
Allow local/system_id to be empty so it's not impossible for
a later config file to remove it.
In 2.02.99, _init_tags() inadvertently began to ignore the
dm_config_tree struct passed to it. "tags" sections are not
merged together, so the "tags" section in the main config file was
being processed repeatedly and other "tags" sections were ignored.
Just like MD filtering that detects components of software RAID (md),
add detection for firmware RAID.
We're not adding any native code to detect this - there are lots of
firmware RAIDs out there which is just out of LVM scope. However,
with current changes with which we're able to get device info from
external sources (e.g. external_device_info_source="udev"), we can
do this easily if the external device status source has this kind
of information - which is the case of "udev" source where the results
of blkid scans are stored.
This detection should cover all firmware RAIDs that blkid can detect and
which are identified as:
ID_FS_TYPE = {adaptec,ddf,hpt45x,hpt37x,isw,jmicron,lsi_mega,nvidia,promise_fasttrack,silicon_medley,via}_raid_member
For example, with dmeventd/executable set to "" which is not allowed for
this setting, the config validation now ends up with:
$ lvm dumpconfig --validate
Configuration setting "dmeventd/executable" invalid. It cannot be set to an empty value.
LVM configuration invalid.
This check for empty values for string config settings was not
done before (we only checked empty arrays, but not scalar strings).
Support error_if_no_space feature for thin pools.
Report more info about thinpool status:
(out_of_data (D), metadata_read_only (M), failed (F) also as health
attribute.)
Do not use 'any' policy name as a value in config tree - so we stick
with 'policy_settings' and extra 'policy_name' for libdm params.
Update lvm2 API as well.
Example of supported metadata:
policy = "mq"
policy_settings {
migration_threshold = 2048
sequential_threshold = 512
random_threshold = 4
read_promote_adjustment = 10
}
Support compile type configurable defaults for creation
of sparse volumes.
By default now create 'thin-pools' for sparse volumes.
Use the global/sparse_segtype_default to switch back to old
snapshots if needed.
Apply the same compile logic for newly introduces mirror/raid1 options.
The cache mode of a new cache pool is always explicitly
included in the vg metadata. If a cache mode is not
specified on the command line, the cache mode is taken
from lvm.conf allocation/cache_pool_cachemode, which
defaults to "writethrough".
The cache mode can be displayed with lvs -o+cachemode.
Coverity noticed this function may return untouched buffer,
however in this state can't really happen, but anyway
ensure on error path the buffer will have zero lenght string.
Fix get_pool_params to only read params.
Add poolmetadataspare option to get_pool_params.
Move all profile code into update_pool_params.
Move recalculate code into pool_manip.c
Currently, we have two modes of activation, an unnamed nominal mode
(which I will refer to as "complete") and "partial" mode. The
"complete" mode requires that a volume group be 'complete' - that
is, no missing PVs. If there are any missing PVs, no affected LVs
are allowed to activate - even RAID LVs which might be able to
tolerate a failure. The "partial" mode allows anything to be
activated (or at least attempted). If a non-redundant LV is
missing a portion of its addressable space due to a device failure,
it will be replaced with an error target. RAID LVs will either
activate or fail to activate depending on how badly their
redundancy is compromised.
This patch adds a third option, "degraded" mode. This mode can
be selected via the '--activationmode {complete|degraded|partial}'
option to lvchange/vgchange. It can also be set in lvm.conf.
The "degraded" activation mode allows RAID LVs with a sufficient
level of redundancy to activate (e.g. a RAID5 LV with one device
failure, a RAID6 with two device failures, or RAID1 with n-1
failures). RAID LVs with too many device failures are not allowed
to activate - nor are any non-redundant LVs that may have been
affected. This patch also makes the "degraded" mode the default
activation mode.
The degraded activation mode does not yet work in a cluster. A
new cluster lock flag (LCK_DEGRADED_MODE) will need to be created
to make that work. Currently, there is limited space for this
extra flag and I am looking for possible solutions. One possible
solution is to usurp LCK_CONVERT, as it is not used. When the
locking_type is 3, the degraded mode flag simply gets dropped and
the old ("complete") behavior is exhibited.
The --binary option, if used, causes all the binary values reported
in reporting commands to be displayed as "0" or "1" instead of descriptive
literal values (value "unknown" is still used for values that could not be
determined).
Also, add report/binary_values_as_numeric lvm.conf option with the same
functionality as the --binary option (the --binary option prevails
if both --binary cmd option and report/binary_values_as_numeric lvm.conf
option is used at the same time). The report/binary_values_as_numeric is
also profilable.
This makes it easier to use and check lvm reporting command output in scripts.
The dumpconfig now understands --commandprofile/--profile/--metadataprofile
The --commandprofile and --profile functionality is almost the same
with only one difference and that is that the --profile is just used
for dumping the content, it's not applied for the command itself
(while the --commandprofile profile is applied like it is done for
any other LVM command).
We also allow --metadataprofile for dumpconfig - dumpconfig *does not*
touch VG/LV and metadata in any way so it's OK to use it here (just for
dumping the content, checking the profile validity etc.).
The validity of the profile can be checked with:
dumpconfig --commandprofile/--profile/--metadataprofile --validate
...depending on the profile type.
Also, mention --config in the dumpconfig help string so users know
that dumpconfig handles this too (it did even before, but it was not
documented in the help string).
- When defining configuration source, the code now uses separate
CONFIG_PROFILE_COMMAND and CONFIG_PROFILE_METADATA markers
(before, it was just CONFIG_PROFILE that did not make the
difference between the two). This helps when checking the
configuration if it contains correct set of options which
are all in either command-profilable or metadata-profilable
group without mixing these groups together - so it's a firm
distinction. The "command profile" can't contain
"metadata profile" and vice versa! This is strictly checked
and if the settings are mixed, such profile is rejected and
it's not used. So in the end, the CONFIG_PROFILE_COMMAND
set of options and CONFIG_PROFILE_METADATA are mutually exclusive
sets.
- Marking configuration with one or the other marker will also
determine the way these configuration sources are positioned
in the configuration cascade which is now:
CONFIG_STRING -> CONFIG_PROFILE_COMMAND -> CONFIG_PROFILE_METADATA -> CONFIG_FILE/CONFIG_MERGED_FILES
- Marking configuration with one or the other marker will also make
it possible to issue a command context refresh (will be probably
a part of a future patch) if needed for settings in global profile
set. For settings in metadata profile set this is impossible since
we can't refresh cmd context in the middle of reading VG/LV metadata
and for each VG/LV separately because each VG/LV can have a different
metadata profile assinged and it's not possible to change these
settings at this level.
- When command profile is incorrect, it's rejected *and also* the
command exits immediately - the profile *must* be correct for the
command that was run with a profile to be executed. Before this
patch, when the profile was found incorrect, there was just the
warning message and the command continued without profile applied.
But it's more correct to exit immediately in this case.
- When metadata profile is incorrect, we reject it during command
runtime (as we know the profile name from metadata and not early
from command line as it is in case of command profiles) and we
*do continue* with the command as we're in the middle of operation.
Also, the metadata profile is applied directly and on the fly on
find_config_tree_* fn call and even if the metadata profile is
found incorrect, we still need to return the non-profiled value
as found in the other configuration provided or default value.
To exit immediately even in this case, we'd need to refactor
existing find_config_tree_* fns so they can return error. Currently,
these fns return only config values (which end up with default
values in the end if the config is not found).
- To check the profile validity before use to be sure it's correct,
one can use :
lvm dumpconfig --commandprofile/--metadataprofile ProfileName --validate
(the --commandprofile/--metadataprofile for dumpconfig will come
as part of the subsequent patch)
- This patch also adds a reference to --commandprofile and
--metadataprofile in the cmd help string (which was missing before
for the --profile for some commands). We do not mention --profile
now as people should use --commandprofile or --metadataprofile
directly. However, the --profile is still supported for backward
compatibility and it's translated as:
--profile == --metadataprofile for lvcreate, vgcreate, lvchange and vgchange
(as these commands are able to attach profile to metadata)
--profile == --commandprofile for all the other commands
(--metadataprofile is not allowed there as it makes no sense)
- This patch also contains some cleanups to make the code handling
the profiles more readable...
Mark profilable settings with a separate CFG_PROFILABLE_METADATA
flag where the profile can be attached to VG/LV. This makes it possible
to differentiate global command-profilable settings (CFG_PROFILABLE flag)
and contextual metadata-profilable (per VG/LV) settings (CFG_PROFILABLE_METADATA flag).
When cmd refresh is called, we need to move any already loaded profiles
to profiles_to_load list which will cause their reload on subsequent
use. In addition to that, we need to take into account any change
in config/profile configuration setting on cmd context refresh
since this setting could be overriden with --config.
Also, when running commands in the shell, we need to remove the
global profile used from the configuration cascade so the profile
is not incorrectly reused next time when the --profile option is
not specified anymore for the next command in the shell.
This bug only affected profile specified by --profile cmd line
arg, not profiles referenced from LVM metadata.
Before, the cft_check_handle used to direct configuration checking
was part of cmd_context. It's better to attach this as part of the
exact config tree against which the check is done. This patch moves
the cft_check_handle out of cmd_context and it attaches it to the
config tree directly as dm_config_tree->custom->config_source->check_handle.
This change makes it easier to track the config tree check results
and provides less space for bugs as the results are directly attached
to the tree and we don't need to be cautious whether the global value
is correct or not (and whether it needs reinitialization) as it was
in the case when the cft_check_handle was part of cmd_context.
Add CONFIG_FILE_SPECIAL config source id to make a difference between
real configuration tree (like lvm.conf and tag configs) and special purpose
configuration tree (like LVM metadata, persistent filter).
This makes it easier to attach correct customized data to the config
tree that is created out of the source then.
ignore_suspended_devices=0 is already used in lvm.conf we distribute,
but it was still "1" in the code (so it was used when lvm.conf value
was not defined). It should be "0" too.
Before:
thin_disabled_features = ""
Now:
thin_disabled_features = []
Which is a more correct and consistent way of specifying void array
though parses can handle both forms.
The global/suffix was missing from example lvm.conf but it can
be very useful when using lvm in scripts and now in profiles as well
Let's expose it more.
Users can create several profiles for how the tools report
the output very easily and then just use
<lvm reporting command> --profile <report_profile_name>
Let's do this the other way round - this makes more logic than commit b995f06.
So let's allow empty values for global/thin_disabled_features where
such an empty value now means "none of this features are disabled".
The global/thin_disabled_features should be marked as having no default
value. Otherwise the output from 'lvm dumpconfig --type default' would
have 'thin_disabled_features=""' which will produce an error message
'Ignoring empty string in config file ...' if such output is feed
back to lvm.
We can't use mempool for temporary variable for configuration path inside
find_config_tree_* functions since these functions can use the mempool
themselves deeper in the code and we can free mempool chunks only from
top to bottom which is not the case here (some default string
configuration values can be allocated from the mempool).
The same as for allocation/thin_pool_chunk_size - the default value
used is just a starting point. The calculation continues using the
properties of the devices actually used.
The allocation/thin_pool_chunk_size is a bit more complex. It's default
value is evaluated in runtime based on selected thin_pool_chunk_size_policy.
But the value is just a starting point. The calculation then continues
with dependency on the properties of the devices used. Which means for
such a default value, we know only the starting value.
If the config setting is defined as having no default value, but it's
still not NULL, it means such a value acts as a *hint* only
(e.g. a starting value from which the default value is calculated).
The new "cfg_def_get_default_value_hint" will always return the value
as defined in config_settings.h.
The original "cfg_def_get_default_value" will always return 0/NULL if
the config setting is defined with CFG_DEFAULT_UNDEFINED flag (hence
ignoring the hint).
This is needed for proper distiction between a correct default value
and the value which is just a hint or a starting point in calculation,
but it's not the final value (yes, we do have such settings!).
The devices/cache and devices/cache_dir are evaluated in runtime this way:
- if devices/cache is set, use it
- if devices_cache/dir or devices/cache_file_prefix is set, make up a
path out of that for devices/cache in runtime, taking into account
the LVM_SYSTEM_DIR environment variable if set
- otherwise make up the path out of default which is:
<LVM_SYSTEM_DIR>/<cache_dir>/<cache_file_prefix>.cache
With the runtime defaults, we can encode this easily now. Also, the lvm
dumpconfig can show proper and exact information about this setting then
(the variant that shows default values).
Previously, we declared a default value as undefined ("NULL") for
settings which require runtime context to be set first (e.g. settings
for paths that rely on SYSTEM_DIR environment variable or they depend
on any other setting in some way).
If we want to output default values as they are really used in runtime,
we should make it possible to define a default value as function which
is evaluated, not just providing a firm constant value as it was before.
This patch defines simple prototypes for such functions. Also, there's
new helper macros "cfg_runtime" and "cfg_array_runtime" - they provide
exactly the same functionality as the original "cfg" and "cfg_array"
macros when defining the configuration settings in config_settings.h,
but they don't set the constant default value. Instead, they automatically
link the configuration setting definition with one of these functions:
typedef int (*t_fn_CFG_TYPE_BOOL) (struct cmd_context *cmd, struct profile *profile);
typedef int (*t_fn_CFG_TYPE_INT) (struct cmd_context *cmd, struct profile *profile);
typedef float (*t_fn_CFG_TYPE_FLOAT) (struct cmd_context *cmd, struct profile *profile);
typedef const char* (*t_fn_CFG_TYPE_STRING) (struct cmd_context *cmd, struct profile *profile);
typedef const char* (*t_fn_CFG_TYPE_ARRAY) (struct cmd_context *cmd, struct profile *profile);
(The new macros actually set the CFG_DEFAULT_RUNTIME flag properly and
set the default value link to the function accordingly).
Then such configuration setting requires a function of selected type to
be defined. This function has a predefined name:
get_default_<id>
...where the <id> is the id of the setting as defined in
config_settings.h. For example "backup_archive_dir_CFG" if defined
as a setting with default value evaluated in runtime with "cfg_runtime"
will automatically have "get_default_backup_archive_dir_CFG" function
linked to this setting to get the default value.
Using mempool is much safer than using the global static variable.
The global variable would be rewritten on each find_config_tree_* call
and we need to be very careful not to get into this problem (we don't
do now, but we can with the patches for "runtime defaults" that will follow).
These settings don't have any default value predefined:
log/file
log/activate_file
global/library_dir
This settings has default value but not yet declared in config_settings.h:
global/locking_library (default is DEFAULT_LOCKING_LIB)
To make "lvm dumpconfig --type default" output to be usable like any
other config, we need to comment out lines that have no default value
defined. Otherwise, we'd have the output with config options
with blank or zero values which is not the same as when the value
is not defined! And such configuration can't be feed into lvm again
without further edits. So let's fix this.
Currently this covers these configuration options exactly:
devices/loopfiles
devices/preferred_names
devices/filter
devices/global_filter
devices/types
allocation/cling_tag_list
global/format_libraries
global/segment_libraries
activation/volume_list
activation/auto_activation_volume_list
activation/read_only_volume_list
activation/mlock_filter
metadata/dirs
metadata/disk_areas
metadata/disk_areas/<disk_area>
metadata/disk_areas/<disk_area>/start_sector
metadata/disk_areas/<disk_area>/size
metadata/disk_areas/<disk_area>/id
tags/<tag>
tags/<tag>/host_list
This patch allows the creation and removal of cache pools. Users are not
yet able to create cache LVs. They are only able to define the space used
for the cache and its characteristics (chunk_size and cache mode ATM) by
creating the cache pool.
Cache pools require a data and metadata area (like thin pools). Unlike
thin pool, if 'cache_pool_metadata_require_separate_pvs' is not set to
'1', the metadata and data area will be allocated from the same device.
It is also done in a manner similar to RAID, where a single chunk of
space is allocated and then split to form the metadata and data device -
ensuring that they are together.
The metadata/disk_areas setting was incorrectly registered as
"string" configuration option but it's a section where each area
is defined in its own subsection with "start_sector", "size" and "id"
setting.
This setting is not officialy supported, it's undocumented and it's
used solely for debugging.
Note: At this moment, it does not seem to be working with lvmetad!
There is a problem with the way mirrors have been designed to handle
failures that is resulting in stuck LVM processes and hung I/O. When
mirrors encounter a write failure, they block I/O and notify userspace
to reconfigure the mirror to remove failed devices. This process is
open to a couple races:
1) Any LVM process other than the one that is meant to deal with the
mirror failure can attempt to read the mirror, fail, and block other
LVM commands (including the repair command) from proceeding due to
holding a lock on the volume group.
2) If there are multiple mirrors that suffer a failure in the same
volume group, a repair can block while attempting to read the LVM
label from one mirror while trying to repair the other.
Mitigation of these races has been attempted by disallowing label reading
of mirrors that are either suspended or are indicated as blocking by
the kernel. While this has closed the window of opportunity for hitting
the above problems considerably, it hasn't closed it completely. This is
because it is still possible to start an LVM command, read the status of
the mirror as healthy, and then perform the read for the label at the
moment after a the failure is discovered by the kernel.
I can see two solutions to this problem:
1) Allow users to configure whether mirrors can be candidates for LVM
labels (i.e. whether PVs can be created on mirror LVs). If the user
chooses to allow label scanning of mirror LVs, it will be at the expense
of a possible hang in I/O or LVM processes.
2) Instrument a way to allow asynchronous label reading - allowing
blocked label reads to be ignored while continuing to process the LVM
command. This would action would allow LVM commands to continue even
though they would have otherwise blocked trying to read a mirror. They
can then release their lock and allow a repair command to commence. In
the event of #2 above, the repair command already in progress can continue
and repair the failed mirror.
This patch brings solution #1. If solution #2 is developed later on, the
configuration option created in #1 can be negated - allowing mirrors to
be scanned for labels by default once again.
Some code has been added recently which makes it impossible to compile
when "configure --disable-devmapper" is used. This patch just shuffles
the code around so it's under proper #ifdef DEVMAPPER_SUPPORT.
Add allocation/thin_pool_chunk_size_calculation lvm.conf
option to select a method for calculating thin pool chunk
sizes and define two possible values - "default" and "performance".
Add internal devtypes reporting command to display built-in recognised
block device types. (The output does not include any additional
types added by a configuration file.)

gcc -O2 v4.8 on 32 bit architecture is causing a bug in parameter
passing. It does not happen with -01 nor -O0.
The problematic part of the code was strlen use in config.c in
the config_def_check fn and the call for _config_def_check_tree in it:
<snip>
rplen = strlen(rp);
if (!_config_def_check_tree(handle, vp, vp + strlen(vp), rp, rp + rplen, CFG_PATH_MAX_LEN - rplen, cn, cmd->cft_def_hash)) ...
</snip>
If compiled with -O0 (correct):
Breakpoint 1, config_def_check (cmd=0x819b050, handle=0x81a04f8) at config/config.c:775
(gdb) p vp
$1 = 0x8189ee0 <_cfg_path> "config"
(gdb) p strlen(vp)
$2 = 6
(gdb)
_config_def_check_tree (handle=0x81a04f8, vp=0x8189ee0 <_cfg_path>
"config", pvp=0x8189ee6 <_cfg_path+6> "", rp=0xbfffe1e8 "config",
prp=0xbfffe1ee "", buf_size=58, root=0x81a2568, ht=0x81a65
48) at config/config.c:680
(gdb) p vp
$4 = 0x8189ee0 <_cfg_path> "config"
(gdb) p pvp
$5 = 0x8189ee6 <_cfg_path+6> ""
If compiled with -O2 (incorrect):
Breakpoint 1, config_def_check (cmd=cmd@entry=0x8183050, handle=0x81884f8) at config/config.c:775
(gdb) p vp
$1 = 0x8172fc0 <_cfg_path> "config"
(gdb) p strlen(vp)
$2 = 6
(gdb) p vp + strlen(vp)
$3 = 0x8172fc6 <_cfg_path+6> ""
(gdb)
_config_def_check_tree (handle=handle@entry=0x81884f8, pvp=0x8172fc7
<_cfg_path+7> "host_list", rp=rp@entry=0xbffff190 "config",
prp=prp@entry=0xbffff196 "", buf_size=buf_size@entry=58, ht=0x
818e548, root=0x818a568, vp=0x8172fc0 <_cfg_path> "config") at
config/config.c:674
(gdb) p pvp
$4 = 0x8172fc7 <_cfg_path+7> "host_list"
The difference is in passing the "pvp" arg for _config_def_check_tree.
While in the correct case, the value of _cfg_path+6 is passed
(the result of vp + strlen(vp) - see the snippet of the code above),
in the incorrect case, this value is increased by 1 to _cfg_path+7,
hence totally malforming the string that is being processed.
This ends up with incorrect validation check and incorrect warning
messages are issued like:
"Configuration setting "config/checks" has invalid type. Found integer, expected section."
To workaround this issue, remove the "static" qualifier from the
"static char _cfg_path[CFG_PATH_MAX_LEN]". This causes the optimalizer
to be less aggressive (also shuffling the arg list for
_config_def_check_tree call helps).
When both the '-i' and '-m' arguments are specified on the command
line, use the "raid10" segment type. This way, the native RAID10
personality is used through dm-raid rather than layering a mirror
on striped LVs. If the old behavior is desired, the '--type'
argument to use would be "mirror" rather than "raid10".
Add new configure lvm.conf options for binaries thin_repair
and thin_dump.
Those are part of device-mapper-persistent-data package
and will be used for recovery of thin_pool.
Add --poolmetadataspare option and creates and handles
pool metadata spare lv when thin pool is created.
With default setting 'y' it tries to ensure, spare has
at least the size of created LV.
cfg_def_get_path uses a global static var to store the result (for efficiency).
So we need to apply the profile first and then get the path for the config item
when calling find_config_tree_* fns.
Also activation/auto_set_activation is not profilable (at least not now,
maybe later if we need that).
The activation/auto_set_activation_skip enables/disables automatic
adding of the ACTIVATION_SKIP LV flag. By default thin snapshots
are flagged to be skipped during activation.
And by default, the auto_set_activation_skip is enabled.
...when creating config trees while calling config_def_create_tree fn
that constructs a tree out of config_settings.h definition
(CFG_DEF_TREE_NEW/MISSING/DEFAULT/PROFILABLE).
Till now, we needed the config tree merge only for merging
tag configs with lvm.conf. However, this type of merging
did a few extra exceptions:
- leaving out the tags section
- merging values in activation/volume_list
- merging values in devices/filter
- merging values in devices/types
Any other config values were replaced by new values.
However, we'd like to do a 'raw merge' as well, simply
bypassing the exceptions listed above. This will help
us to create a single tree representing the cascaded
configs like CONFIG_STRING -> CONFIG_PROFILE -> ...
The reason for this patch is that when trees are cascaded,
the first value found while traversing the cascade is used,
not making any exceptions like we do for tag configs.
When CFG_DEF_TREE_MISSING is created, it needs to know the status
of the check done on the tree used (the CFG_USED flag).
This bug was introduced with f1c292cc38
"make it possible to run several instances of configuration check at
once". This patch separated the CFG_USED and CFG_VALID flags in
a separate 'status' field in struct cft_check_handle.
However, when creating some trees, like CFG_DEF_TREE_MISSING,
we need this status to do a comparison with full config definition
to determine which items are missing and for which default values
were used. Otherwise, all items would be considered missing.
So, pass this status in a new field called 'check_status' in
struct config_def_tree_spec that defines how the (dumpconfig) tree
should be constructed (and this struct is passed to
config_def_create_tree fn then).
These settins are customizable by profiles:
allocation/thin_pool_zero
allocation/thin_pool_discards
allocation/thin_pool_chunk_size
activation/thin_pool_autoextend_threshold
activation/thin_pool_autoextend_percent
Besides the classical configuration checks (type checking and
checking whether the item is recognized by lvm tools) for profiles,
do an extra check whether the configuration setting is customizable
by a profile at all. Give a warning message if not.
Before, the status of the configuration check (config_def_check fn call)
was saved directly in global configuration definitinion array (as part
of the cfg_def_item_t/flags)
This patch introduces the "struct cft_check_handle" that defines
configuration check parameters as well as separate place to store
the status (status here means CFG_USED and CFG_VALID flags, formerly
saved in cfg_def_item_t/flags). This struct can hold config check
parameters as well as the status for each config tree separately,
thus making it possible to run several instances of config_def_check
without interference.
When placing the profile in a configuration cascade, this sequence is
used exactly:
CONFIG_STRING -> CONFIG_PROFILE -> CONFIG_FILE/MERGED_FILES
So if the profile is used, it overloads the lvm.conf (and any
existing tag configs). However, if "--config" is used to define
a custom configuration on command line, this overloads even the
profile config!
This patch adds --profile arg to lvm cmds and adds config/profile_dir
configuration setting to select the directory where profiles are stored
By default it's /etc/lvm/profile.
The profiles are added by using new "add_profile" fn and then loaded
using the "load_profile" fn. All profiles are stored in a cmd context
within the new "struct profile_params":
struct profile_params {
const char *dir;
struct profile *global_profile;
struct dm_list profiles_to_load;
struct dm_list profiles;
};
...where "dir" is the directory with profiles, "global_profile" is
the profile that is set globally via the --profile arg (IOW, not
set per VG/LV basis based on metadata record) and the "profiles"
is the list with loaded profiles.
A helper type that helps with identification of the configuration source
which makes handling the configuration cascade a bit easier, mainly
removing and adding configuration trees to cascade dynamically.
Currently, the possible types are:
CONFIG_UNDEFINED - configuration is not defined yet (not initialized)
CONFIG_FILE - one file configuration
CONFIG_MERGED_FILES - configuration that is a result of merging more files into one
CONFIG_STRING - configuration string typed on cmd line directly
CONFIG_PROFILE - profile configuration (the new type of configuration, patches will follow...)
Also, generalize existing "remove_overridden_config_tree" to work with
configuration type identification in a cascade. Before, it was just
the CONFIG_STRING we used. Now, we need some more to add in a
cascade (like the CONFIG_PROFILE). So, we have:
struct dm_config_tree *remove_config_tree_by_source(struct cmd_context *cmd, config_source_t source);
config_source_t config_get_source_type(struct dm_config_tree *cft);
... for removing the tree by its source type from the cascade and
simply getting the source type.
Merging multiple config files together needs to know newest (highest)
timestamp of merged files. Persistent cache file is being used
only in case, the config file is older then .cache file.
Add verbose message when we will not obtain devices from udev
(i.e. testing is using different udev dir, and the log was
giving misleading info about using udev)
Add proper error message if zalloc from pull would have failed.
Fix typo obolete -> obsolete
There is no need to strdup a key when inserting into

lvm dumpconfig [--ignoreadvanced] [--ignoreunsupported]
--ignoreadvanced causes the advanced configuration options to be left
out on dumpconfig output
--ignoreunsupported causes the options that are not officially supported
to be lef out on dumpconfig output
This shows up in the output as a short commentary:
$ lvm dumpconfig --type default --withcomments metadata/disk_areas
# Configuration option metadata/disk_areas.
# This configuration option is advanced.
# This configuration option is not officially supported.
disk_areas=""
lvm dumpconfig [--withcomments] [--withversions]
The --withcomments causes the comments to appear on output before each
config node (if they were defined in config_settings.h).
The --withversions causes a one line extra comment to appear on output
before each config node with the version information in which the
configuration setting first appeared.
There's a possibility to interconnect the dm_config_node with an
ID, which in our case is used to reference the configuration
definition ID from config_settings.h. So simply interconnecting
struct dm_config_node with struct cfg_def_item.
This patch also adds support for enhanced config node output besides
existing "output line by line". This patch adds a possibility to
register a callback that gets called *before* the config node is
processed line by line (for example to include any headers on output)
and *after* the config node is processed line by line (to include any
footers on output). Also, it adds the config node reference itself
as the callback arg in addition to have a possibility to extract more
information from the config node itself if needed when processing the
output callback (e.g. the key name, the id, or whether this is a
section or a value etc...).
If the config node from lvm.conf/--config tree is recognized and valid,
it's always coupled with the config node definition ID from
config_settings.h:
struct dm_config_node {
int id;
const char *key;
struct dm_config_node *parent, *sib, *child;
struct dm_config_value *v;
}
For example if the dm_config_node *cn holds "devices/dev" configuration,
then the cn->id holds "devices_dev_CFG" ID from config_settings.h, -1 if
not found in config_settings.h and 0 if matching has not yet been done.
To support the enhanced config node output, a new structure has been
defined in libdevmapper to register it:
struct dm_config_node_out_spec {
dm_config_node_out_fn prefix_fn; /* called before processing config node lines */
dm_config_node_out_fn line_fn; /* called for each config node line */
dm_config_node_out_fn suffix_fn; /* called after processing config node lines */
};
Where dm_config_node_out_fn is:
typedef int (*dm_config_node_out_fn)(const struct dm_config_node *cn, const char *line, void *baton);
(so in comparison to existing callbacks for config node output, it has
an extra dm_config_node *cn arg in addition)
This patch also adds these functions to libdevmapper:
- dm_config_write_node_out
- dm_config_write_one_node_out
...which have exactly the same functionality as their counterparts
without the "out" suffix. The "*_out" functions adds the extra hooks
for enhanced config output (prefix_fn and suffix_fn mentioned above).
One can still use the old interface for config node output, this is
just an enhancement for those who'd like to modify the output more
extensively.
lvm dumpconfig [--type {current|default|missing|new}] [--atversion] [--validate]
This patch adds above-mentioned args to lvm dumpconfig and it maps them
to creation and writing out a configuration tree of a specific type
(see also previous commit):
- current maps to CFG_TYPE_CURRENT
- default maps to CFG_TYPE_DEFAULT
- missing maps to CFG_TYPE_MISSING
- new maps to CFG_TYPE_NEW
If --type is not defined, dumpconfig defaults to "--type current"
which is the original behaviour of dumpconfig before all these changes.
The --validate option just validates current configuration tree
(lvm.conf/--config) and it writes a simple status message:
"LVM configuration valid" or "LVM configuration invalid"
Configuration checking is initiated during config load/processing
(_process_config fn) which is part of the command context
creation/refresh.
This patch also defines 5 types of trees that could be created from
the configuration definition (config_settings.h), the cfg_def_tree_t:
- CFG_DEF_TREE_CURRENT that denotes a tree of all the configuration
nodes that are explicitly defined in lvm.conf/--config
- CFG_DEF_TREE_MISSING that denotes a tree of all missing
configuration nodes for which default valus are used since they're
not explicitly used in lvm.conf/--config
- CFG_DEF_TREE_DEFAULT that denotes a tree of all possible
configuration nodes with default values assigned, no matter what
the actual lvm.conf/--config is
- CFG_DEF_TREE_NEW that denotes a tree of all new configuration nodes
that appeared in given version
- CFG_DEF_TREE_COMPLETE that denotes a tree of the whole configuration
tree that is used in LVM2 (a combination of CFG_DEF_TREE_CURRENT +
CFG_DEF_TREE_MISSING). This is not implemented yet, it will be added
later...
The function that creates the definition tree of given type:
struct dm_config_tree *config_def_create_tree(struct config_def_tree_spec *spec);
Where the "spec" specifies the tree type to be created:
struct config_def_tree_spec {
cfg_def_tree_t type; /* tree type */
uint16_t version; /* tree at this LVM2 version */
int ignoreadvanced; /* do not include advanced configs */
int ignoreunsupported; /* do not include unsupported configs */
};
This tree can be passed to already existing functions that write
the tree on output (like we already do with cmd->cft).
There is a new lvm.conf section called "config" with two new options:
- config/checks which enables/disables checking (enabled by default)
- config/abort_on_errors which enables/disables aborts on any type of
mismatch found in the config (disabled by default)
Add support for configuration checking - type checking and recognition
of registered configuration settings that LVM2 understands and also
check the structure of the configuration. Log error on any mismatch
found.
A hash over all allowed configuration paths is created which helps
with matching the exact configuration (lvm.conf/--config tree) with
the configuration item definition from config_settings.h in an
efficient and one-step way.
Two more helper flags are introduced for each configuration definition
item:
- CFG_USED which marks the item as being used (lvm.conf/--config)
This helps with identifying missing configuration options
(and for which defaults were used) when traversing the tree later.
- CFG_VALID which denotes that the item has already been checked and
it was found valid. This improves performance, so if the check
is called once again on the same tree which was not reloaded, we
can just return the state from previous check (with a possibility
to force the check if needed).
The new function that config.h exports and which is going to be used
to perform the configuration checking is:
int config_def_check(struct cmd_context *cmd, int force, int skip, int suppress_messages)
...which is exported internally via config.h.
For example, the old call and reference:
find_config_tree_str(cmd, "devices/dir", DEFAULT_DEV_DIR)
...now becomes:
find_config_tree_str(cmd, devices_dir_CFG)
So we're referring to the named configuration ID instead
of passing the configuration path and the default value
is taken from central config definition in config_settings.h
automatically.
This patch adds basic structures that encapsulate the config_settings.h
content - it takes each item and puts it in structures:
- cfg_def_type_t to define config item type
- cfg_def_value_t to define config item (default) value
- flags used to define the nature and use of the config item:
- CFG_NAME_VARIABLE for items with variable names (e.g. tags)
- CFG_ALLOW_EMPTY for items where empty value is allowed
- CFG_ADVANCED for items which are considered as "advanced settings"
- CFG_UNSUPPORTED for items which are not officially supported
(config options mostly for internal use and testing/debugging)
- cfg_def_item_t to encapsulate the whole definition of the config
definition itself
Each config item is referenced by named ID, e.g. "devices_dir_CFG"
instead of directly typing the path "devices/dir" as it was before.
This patch also adds cfg_def_get_path helper function to get the
config setting path up to the root for given config ID
(it returns the path in form of "abc/def/.../xyz" where the "abc"
is the topmost element).
This file centrally defines all recognized LVM2 configuration
sections and settings. Each item here has its parent, set of
allowed types, default value, brief comment, version the setting
first appeared in and flags that further define the nature of
the configuration setting and its use.
If '--mirrors/-m' and '--stripes/-i' are used together when creating
a logical volume, mirrors-over-stripes is currently chosen. The user
can override this by using the '--type raid10' option on creation.
However, we want a place where we can set the default behavior to
'raid10' explicitly - similar to the "mirror" and "raid1" tunable,
mirror_segtype_default.
A follow-on patch should use this new setting to change the default
from "mirror" to "raid10", as this is the preferred segment type.
We have been using 'mirror_region_size' in lvm.conf as the default region
size for RAID logical volumes as well as mirror logical volumes. Since,
"raid" is more inclusive and representative than "mirror", I have changed
the name of this setting. We must still check for the old setting and warn
the user if we are overriding it with the new setting if both happen to be
present.
Add log/debug_classes to lvm.conf to allow debug messages to be
classified and filtered at runtime.
The dm_errno field is only used by log_error(), so I've redefined it
for log_debug() messages to hold the message class.
By default, all existing messages appear, but we can add categories that
generate high volumes of data, such as logging all traffic to/from
lvmetad.
Configurable settings for thin pool create
if they are not specified on command line.
New supported lvm.conf options are:
allocation/thin_pool_chunk_size
allocation/thin_pool_discards
allocation/thin_pool_zero
- move common dm_config_tree manipulation functions from lvmetad-core to
daemon-shared
- add config-tree-based request manipulation APIs to daemon-client
- factor out _v (va_list) variants of most variadic functions in libdaemon
Accept -q as the short form of --quiet.
Suppress non-essential standard output if -q is given twice.
Treat log/silent in lvm.conf as equivalent to -qq.
Review all log_print messages and change some to
log_print_unless_silent.
When silent, the following commands still produce output:
dumpconfig, lvdisplay, lvmdiskscan, lvs, pvck, pvdisplay,
pvs, version, vgcfgrestore -l, vgdisplay, vgs.
[Needs checking.]
Non-essential messages are shifted from log level 4 to log level 5
for syslog and lvm2_log_fn purposes.
A regression introduced in 2.02.89 (11e520256b)
caused the lvm dumpconfig <node> to print out
the node as well as its subsequent siblings.
The information about "only_one" mode got lost.
Before this patch (just an example node):
# lvm dumpconfig global/use_lvmetad
use_lvmetad=1
thin_check_executable="/usr/sbin/thin_check"
thin_check_options="-q"
(...all nodes to the end of the section)
With this patch applied:
# lvm dumpconfig global/use_lvmetad
use_lvmetad=1
Update a way we handle option passing - so we now support path and options
with space inside.
Fix dm name usage for thin pools with '-' in name.
Use new lvm.conf option thin_check_options to pass in options as string array.
If the lvcreate may decide some automagical values for a user,
try to keep the pool metadata size into 128MB range for optimal
perfomance (as suggested by Joe).
So if the pool metadata size and chunk_size were not specified,
try to select such values they would fit into 128MB size.
Use libdm callback to execute thin_check before activation
thin pool and after deactivation as well.
Supporting thin_check_executable which may pass in extra options for
the tool.
Reformat name and path how the LV is represented with lvm1 compatible option,
to switch to the old way - which had number of problem - i.e. many links
do not exist - since for private devices we are not creating them.
Add more info about thin pools and volumes.
