This patch postpones update of lvm metadata for each removed
LV for later moment depending on LV type.
It also queues messages to be printed after such write & commit.
As such there is some change in the behavior - although before
prompt we do make write&commit happens automatically in some
other error case we rather keep 'existing' state - so there
could be difference in amount of removed & commited LVs.
IMHO introduce logic is slightly better and more save.
But some cases still need the early commit - i.e. thin-removal
and fixing this needs some more thinking.
TODO: improve removal at least with the case of the whole thin-pool.
i.e. we can simply recognize removal of 'all LVs/whole VG'.
Taking backup with each removed LV is slowing down the process
considerable and is largerly uneeded. We are supposed to take
backup only on significant points and making sure the backup
is correct when the command is finished.
TODO: check how many other commands can be improved.
User use 'lvconvert -Zn --type vdo-pool' to convert an existing
vdo formated volume and skip lvm2 internal formating.
This however requires user is passing proper matching parameters.
For them user can use --profile|--metadataprofile option whos
support has been also enhanced.
TODO: add support to read values directly from formated volume.
In some cases we use 'creation' also during conversion.
Here it can be actually unwanted side effect we may remove
not just newly created layers - but also original converted LV.
So until we make clear how to properly revert from some errors
in middle of conversion, disable removal for any 'lvconvert' commands.
Automatically figure out resizable layer in the LV stack and
resize it online.
Split check for reshaped raids and postpone removal of
unused space after finished reshaping after metadata archiving.
Drop warning about unsupported automatic resize of monitored thin-pool.
Currently there is not yet support for resize of writecache.
Current allocation limitation requires to fit metadata/log LV on
a single PV. This is usually not a big problem, but since
thin-pool and cache-pool is using this for allocating extents
for their metadata LVs it might be eventually causing errors
where the remaining free spaces for large metadata size is spread
over several PV.
Initial support for thin-pool used slightly smaller max size 15.81GiB
for thin-pool metadata. However the real limit later settled at 15.88GiB
(difference is ~64MiB - 16448 4K blocks).
lvm2 could not simply increase the size as it has been using hard cropping
of the loaded metadata device to avoid warnings printing warning of kernel
when the size was bigger (i.e. due to bigger extent_size).
This patch adds the new lvm.conf configurable setting:
allocation/thin_pool_crop_metadata
which defaults to 0 -> no crop of metadata beyond 15.81GiB.
Only user with these sizes of metadata will be affected.
Without cropping lvm2 now limits metadata allocation size to 15.88GiB.
Any space beyond is currently not used by thin-pool target.
Even if i.e. bigger LV is used for metadata via lvconvert,
or allocated bigger because of to large extent size.
With cropping enabled (=1) lvm2 preserves the old limitation
15.81GiB and should allow to work in the evironement with
older lvm2 tools (i.e. older distribution).
Thin-pool metadata with size bigger then 15.81G is now using CROP_METADATA
flag within lvm2 metadata, so older lvm2 recognizes an
incompatible thin-pool and cannot activate such pool!
Users should use uncropped version as it is not suffering
from various issues between thin_repair results and allocated
metadata LV as thin_repair limit is 15.88GiB
Users should use cropping only when really needed!
Patch also better handles resize of thin-pool metadata and prevents resize
beoyond usable size 15.88GiB. Resize beyond 15.81GiB automatically
switches pool to no-crop version. Even with existing bigger thin-pool
metadata command 'lvextend -l+1 vg/pool_tmeta' does the change.
Patch gives better controls 'coverted' metadata LV and
reports less confusing message during conversion.
Patch set also moves the code for updating min/max into pool_manip.c
for better sharing with cache_pool code.
New VDO targets v6.2.3 corrects support for online rename of VDO device.
If needed if can be disable via new lvm.conf setting:
vdo_disabled_features = [ "online_rename" ]
When removing pool LV from a stacked LV setup, it's been possible
to leak _pmspare and such hidden LV then required manual
user removal.
Fix it by moving automatic removal into _lv_reduce().
Since commit 77fdc17d70 always include
log_len size into needed extents - however now we may need sometimes
more extents then necessary - mainly when multiple PVs are involved
into allocation.
Add logs_still_needed into calculation of sufficient_pes_free()
Since BLKZEROOUT ioctl should be supposedly fastest
way how to clear block device start using this ioctl
for zeroing a device. Commonly we do zero typically
small portion of a device (8KiB) - however since we now
also started to zero metadata devices, in the case
of i.e. thin-pool metadata this can go upto ~16GiB
and here the performance starts to be noticable.
Since dev_set_bytes() now closes dev on error path itself,
remove this unneeded call now (introduced few commits back
in history thus removing comment from WHATS_NEW)
Introduce structures lv_status_thin_pool and
lv_status_thin (pair to lv_status_cache, lv_status_vdo)
Convert lv_thin_percent() -> lv_thin_status()
and lv_thin_pool_percent() + lv_thin_pool_transaction_id() ->
lv_thin_pool_status().
This way a function user can see not only percentages, but also
other important status info about thin-pool.
TODO:
This patch tries to not change too many other things,
but pool_below_threshold() now uses new thin-pool info to return
failure if thin-pool cannot be actually modified.
This should be handle separately in a better way.
Improve error response and reporting, when creating thin snapshots.
If the thin pool kernel metadata already have device with ID lvm2
tries to create, give more meanigful error message and also properly
restore transaction id to the value known to thin-pool in this case.
Before it's been possible to divert by one from kernel TID value,
and lvm2 stacked delete message for such thin device.
Since ATM kernel does not support this operation,
disable 'lvrename' of an active vdopool.
As a workaround, user may simply deactivate, rename and activate.
When user tries to extend vdo pool - he needs to go always
at least by 1 full VDO slab (defined as vdo_slab_size_mb).
To avoid all trouble around find 'workable' size - lvm2 automatically
increases the passed (or by --use-policies calculated) extension size
(and informs a user about sometimes possibly large increase as slab
size can go upto 32GiB)
With VDO users need to always 'think-big' anyway and expect such
operation to be in GiB domain range.
When thetable reload fails during suspend() - we were only calling
plain resume() - and this will reload only those devices,
which were left suspend, but will not try to restore
metadata state according to lvm2 reverted metadata.
So if we were reloading device tree - we have restored
only top-level LV and rest of reverted device manipulation
were left alone and possibly mismatched what is in committed
metadata.
FIXME: There are several cases were such revert will likely not work
properly anyway as some operation are currenly handled in single commit,
while they need multiple commits, but it's step towards better correctness.
At least we catch there errors now earlier.
Metadata size was calculated correctly only for raids.
Fixes problem for crash during lvcreate when thin-pool was created
on a VG where remaining free space had the size to only fit a single
metadata LV and not also its _pmspare.
Lvcreate crashed with this assert message:
lvcreate: metadata/pv_map.c:198: consume_pv_area: Assertion `to_go <= pva->count' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
TODO: there is probably to large overload of several alloc_handle
variables.

When using --use-policy for automatic extension of thin-pool,
the extension of thin-pool's metadata itself can actually take
some extra space.
Since I'm not aware of exact compensation formula, add just
1% extra to calculated amount and hope it fits.
Wanted target is to always have usable thin-pool that fits
bellow pool_metadata_min_threshold().
Correcting rounding rules for percentage evaluation.
Validate supported range of percentage.
(although ranges are already validated earlier on code path)
Switch remaining zero sized struct to flexible arrays to be C99
complient.
These simple rules should apply:
- The incomplete array type must be the last element within the structure.
- There cannot be an array of structures that contain a flexible array member.
- Structures that contain a flexible array member cannot be used as a member of another structure.
- The structure must contain at least one named member in addition to the flexible array member.
Although some of the code pieces should be still improved.
Currently lvm2 is not wiping signatures when creating 'metadata' volumes
and raid _rmeta was the only exception - so make the behavior consistent
with other metadata devices and drop wiping ATM.
Drop also some extra debug since they are now more explanatory in
wipe_lv() function.
Also note - although lvm2 now does not wipe signatures - the error
from such wipping used to be actually 'ignored' before wipe_lv()
started to return error (with recent commit) and raid creation
continued with 'unzeroed' metadata device.
TODO: Several issues to resolve:
1. We may want to flip to wipping with all LVs (in that case we need to
support passing --yet & --force).
2. Also we may want to clear whole metadata device - however current
function is also used for wipping i.e. snapshot COW device which
is likely not a good candidate for full device zeroing.
We may also need to think about better logic when extent size is
enforcing very large LVs, when only a small portion of LV is ever
being used.
3. Using TRIM instead of zeroing metadata device might be worth to
implement.
mm
To avoid polution of metadata with some 'garbage' content or eventualy
some leak of stale data in case user want to upload metadata somewhere,
ensure upon allocation the metadata device is fully zeroed.
Behaviour may slow down allocation of thin-pool or cache-pool a bit
so the old behaviour can be restored with lvm.conf setting:
allocation/zero_metadata=0
TODO: add zeroing for extension of metadata volume.
Failure in wiping/zeroing stop the command.
If user wants to avoid command abortion he should use -Zn or -Wn
to avoid wiping.
Note: there is no easy way to distinguish which kind of failure has
happend - so it's safe to not proceed any futher.
