Therefore, we need to conditionalize the check for cmirrord
based on if CMIRRORD_PIDFILE is defined.
mirrors, we must also check that the log daemon (cmirrord) is running.
The log module can be auto-loaded, but the daemon cannot be
"auto-started". Failing to check for the daemon produces cryptic
messages that customers have a hard time deciphering. (The system
messages do report that the log daemon is not running, but people
don't seem to find this message easily.)
Here are examples of what is printed when the module is available,
but the log daemon has not been started.

The main problem with these bugs was that the newly split

the memlock count was not being balanced, the DM devices

Also, made some cosmetic changes suggested by kabi after my last check-in
(e.g. s/return 0/return_0/ and adding an error message).
A previous check-in added logic to handle the case where both images
of a mirrored log failed. It solved the problem by simply removing
the log entirely - leaving the parent mirror with a 'core' log. This
worked for most cases. However, if there was a small delay between
the failures of the two mirrored log devices, the mirror would hang,
LVM would hang, and no additional LVM commands could be issued.
When the first leg of the log fails, it signals the need for repair.
Before 'lvconvert --repair' is run by dmeventd, the second leg fails.
'lvconvert' would see both devices as failed and try to remove the
log entirely. When it came time to suspend the parent mirror to
update the configuration, the suspend would hang because it couldn't
get any I/O through the mirrored log, which was plugged waiting for
corrective action. The solution is to replace the log with an error
target to clear any pending writes before removing it. This allows
the parent mirror to suspend and make the proper changes.
Pass metadataignore through PV creation / setup paths.
As a result of this cleanup, we can remove the unnecessary setting
of mda_ignore bits inside pvcreate_single(), after call to pv_create.
For now, just set metadataignore to '0' in some places. This is
equivalent to the prior functionality, although the 0 is given
by the caller not hardcoded in _mda_setup() call.

- If a PV contained empty mdas, the auto-recovery code was not kicking in.
- The 'inconsistent' state was getting lost when metadata was cached so
recovery didn't kick in. But leave the behaviour alone when using
precommitted metadata because of a warning in a confusing FIXME.
In my testing, pvs and vgs didn't repair inconsistent metadata like they
used to do. (How many other tools fail similarly now?)
And there should be no need to cache inconsistent metadata because it is
supposed to get repaired under the protection of a write lock immediately it is
discovered.
This code is in need of a redesign based on first principles.
I still see bugs in this code and this commit is risky.
Allow metadataignore flag to be passed in to pvcreate.
Ideally, more refactoring of the mda allocation / initialization
is warranted, but for now, we just add another parameter to 'add_mda'
to take an existing mda ignored flag. We need to do this or pv_write
loses the state of the mda 'ignored' flag before copying and writing
to disk.
Print device name when setting or clearing metadata ignore bit.
Example:
label/label.c:160 /dev/loop2: lvm2 label detected
cache/lvmcache.c:1136 lvmcache: /dev/loop2: now in VG #orphans_lvm2 (#orphans_lvm2)
metadata/metadata.c:4142 Setting mda ignored flag for metadata_locn /dev/loop2.
format_text/text_label.c:318 Skipping mda with ignored flag on device /dev/loop2 at offset 4096
Logging isn't ideal, especially for mda_set_ignore. Ideally we'd
like to display the device name and offset in this case but this
requires a bit more work and a per-format 'mda_description' function
pointer definition (we don't have access to mda_context in
metadata.c).
In preparation to call this from both pvcreate as well as pvchange,
move the guts of metadataignore into a library function.

There's an intermittent failure with vgcfgbackup that seems to have been
introduced with the metadataignore / vgmetadatacopies patchset.
Intermittent failures are often the result of uninitialized data,
so this patch calls zalloc in a few places it might matter.
Allowing an 'all' and 'unmanaged' value is more intuitive, and
provides a simple way for users to get back to original LVM behavior
of metadata written to all PVs in the volume group.
If the user requests "--vgmetadatacopies unmanaged", this instructs
LVM not to manage the ignore bits to achieve a specific number of
metadata copies in the volume group. The user is free to use
"pvchange --metadataignore" to control the mdas on a per-PV basis.
If the user requests "--vgmetadatacopies all", this instructs LVM
to do 2 things: 1) clear all ignore bits, and 2) set the "unmanaged"
policy going forward.
Internally, we use the special MAX_UINT32 value to indicate 'all'.
This 'just' works since it's the largest value possible for the
field and so all 'ignore' bits on all mdas in the VG will get
cleared inside _vg_metadata_balance(). However, after we've
called the _vg_metadata_balance function, we check for the special
'all' value, and if set, we write the "unmanaged" value into the
metadata. As such, the 'all' value is never written to disk.

The check in vg_split_mdas will trigger an error if the 'from' vg
list is empty. However, this might be ok in some instances now
that we have ignored mdas. Relax this check so an error is triggered
only in the case where there's truly no more mdas in the 'from'
vg.
One example of where this makes a difference is with vgreduce.
If we try to vgreduce a PV with un-ignored mdas, this should trigger
the balancing function to un-ignore mdas on another PV in the VG.
However, we don't get to vg_write() before we fail because this
list size check fails, and we see an error message indicating:
"Cannot remove final metadata area ..."
Another example is with vgsplit into a new VG, where the PVs
being moved contain all ignored mdas. We must move the mdas on
fid->metadata_areas_ignored from 'vg_from' to 'vg_to'.

The vgextend path calls add_pv_to_vg(). Inside add_pv_to_vg(),
we must ensure we pass the correct mdas list into pv_setup(), as
copies of mdas are placed on the vg->fid list. If we don't place
the mdas on the correct vg->fid list, the various counts may be
incorrect and the metadata balance algorithm will not work when
called from vg_write() path.

This patch adds the ability to read/write the vg->mda_copies values
from/to the vg metadata.
If we read the VG metadata and this field does not exist, we set
mda_copies to the default value of 0. Later in the code, we use
this special '0' value to indicate a disable of metadata balancing.
This should preserve existing LVM behavior and ensure metadata balancing
can be turned off should the need arise.

Arrange mdas so mdas that are to be ignored come first. This is an
optimization that ensures consistency on disk for the longest period of time.
This was noted by agk in review of the v4 patchset of pvchange-based mda
balance.
Note the following example for an explanation of the background:
Assume the initial state on disk is as follows:
PV0 (v1, non-ignored)
PV1 (v1, non-ignored)
PV2 (v1, non-ignored)
PV3 (v1, non-ignored)
If we did not sort the list, we would have a commit sequence something like
this:
PV0 (v2, non-ignored)
PV1 (v2, ignored)
PV2 (v2, ignored)
PV3 (v2, non-ignored)
After the commit of PV0's mdas, we'd have an on-disk state like this:
PV0 (v2, non-ignored)
PV1 (v1, non-ignored)
PV2 (v1, non-ignored)
PV3 (v1, non-ignored)
This is an inconsistent state of the disk. If the machine fails, the next
time it was brought back up, the auto-correct mechanism in vg_read would
update the metadata on PV1-PV3. However, if possible we try to avoid
inconsistent on-disk states. Clearly, because we did not sort, we have
a greater chance of on-disk inconsistency - from the time the commit of
PV0 is complete until the time PV3 is complete.
We could improve the amount of time the on-disk state is consistent by simply
sorting the commit order as follows:
PV1 (v2, ignored)
PV2 (v2, ignored)
PV0 (v2, non-ignored)
PV3 (v2, non-ignored)
Thus, after the first PV is committed (in this case PV1), on-disk we would
have:
PV0 (v1, non-ignored)
PV1 (v2, ignored)
PV2 (v1, non-ignored)
PV3 (v1, non-ignored)
This is clearly a consistent state. PV1 will be read but the mda will be
ignored. All other PVs contain v1 metadata, and no auto-correct will be
required. In fact, if we commit all PVs with ignored mdas first, we'll
only have an inconsistent state when we start writing non-ignored PVs,
and thus the chances we'll get an inconsistent state on disk is much
less with the sorted method.

When we are constructing the vg, we may need to adjust the list of
metadata_areas if there are ignored mdas. At label read time, we
do not read the metadata of ignored mdas, and as a result, they do
not get placed on vg->fid->metadata_areas inside _text_create_text_instance
since lvmcache does not have these areas attached to vginfo->infos.
However, when we're checking the pvids inside _vg_read, after having
read another metadata area from another PV, we do have the opportunity
to update the metadata_area and metadata_areas_ignored lists based
on the read metadata_area. We need accurate mda lists for the reporting
functions that count the ignored mdas, as well as general correctness
of mda balancing.

Add a helper function to consolidate checking for an empty mdas list
or ignored mdas. Ignored mdas should behave almost identically to
an empty mda list - the metadata areas should not be read or written
to. This function will make it easier to implement metadata balancing
and easier to track pvs with an empty mda list or ignored mdas.

We implement ignore of an mda at label_read time by checking for
the ignore bit, and then skipping the reading of the vgname and
other information in the metadata. This will have an effect similar
to a PV found with no mdas. Thus, it will look like an orphan in the
cache until we scan the rest of the system and find a PV with
metadata, and the mda will not be on the vg->fid->metadata_areas
list so no read/writes will be done to the metadata area.

Define a new pvs field, pv_mda_used_count, and a new vgs field,
vg_mda_used_count to match the existing pv_mda_count and vg_mda_count.
These new fields count the number of mdas that have the 'ignored' bit
clear (they are in use on the PV / VG). Also define various supporting
functions to implement the counting as well as setting the ignored
flag and determining if an mda is ignored. These high level functions
call into the lower level location independent mda ignore functions
defined by earlier patches.
Note that counting ignored mdas in a vg requires traversing both lists
and checking for the ignored bit on the mda. The count of 'ignored'
mdas then is defined by having the bit set, not by which list the mda
is on. The list does determine whether LVM actually does read/write to
the mda, though we must count the bits in order to return accurate numbers
for the various counts. Also, pv_mda_set_ignored must search both vg
lists for ignored mda. If the state changes and needs to be committed
to disk, the ignored mda will be on the non-ignored list.
Note also in pv_mda_set_ignored(), we must properly manage the mda lists.
If we change the ignored state of an mda, we must change any mdas on
vg->fid->metadata_areas that correspond to this pv. Also, we may
need to allocate a copy of the mda, as is done when fid->metadata_areas
is populated from _vg_read(), if we are un-ignoring an ignored mda.

Because of the way mdas are handled internally, where a PV in a VG
has mdas on both info->mdas and vg->fid->metadata_areas list, we

constructor into a format independent piece and a format dependent
piece.

A metadata_area is defined independent of the location. One downside
is that there is no obvious mapping from a pv to an mda. For a PV in
a VG, we need a way to start with a PV and end up with an MDA, if we
are to manage mdas starting with a device/pv. This function provides
us a way to go down the list of PVs on a VG, and identify which ones
match a particular PV.
I'm not entirely happy with this approach, but it does fit into the
existing structures in a reasonable way.
An alternative solution might be to refactor the VG - PV interface such
that mdas are a list tied to a PV. However, this seemed a bit tricky since
a PV does not come into existence until after the list of mdas is
constructed (see _vg_read() - we create a 'fid' and attach mdas to it,
then we go through them and attach pvs).

We'd like to pass in mda_header to vgname_from_mda(). In order to
do this, we need to call raw_read_mda_header() from text_label.c,
_text_read(), which gets called from the label_read() path, and
peers into the metadata and update vginfo cache. We should check
the disable bit here, and if set, not peer into the vg metadata,
thus reducing the I/O to disk.
In the process, move vgname_from_mda() to layout.h, since the fn
only gets called from format_text code, and we need the mda_header

these types of mirrors, log options can be confused/ignored.
In the case of a converting 3-way mirror, we have a top-level
2-way corelog mirror whose legs are 1) a 2-way disk-log mirror
and 2) a linear device. If we wish to convert this 3-way mirror
to a 2-way mirror, the linear device is removed and the extra
top layer is eliminated. If we also wished to convert the disk
log to a core log in the same step, ambiguity creeps in. It is
somewhat obvious what the user wants - a 2-way mirror with a
corelog. However, looking at the top level mirror before
compression, it seems that the mirror already has a core log.
This is why the operation seemed to fail.
This patch simply re-evaluates what mirrored_seg points to after
a compression and then considers the log argument.

Some commands start with a pvname, but we'd like to force users to
start with a vg handle to obtain a pv handle. Our best option seems
to be providing a way to look up the vgname from the pvname, and then
require them to use vg_read/vg_open.
In addition to the pvname lookup function, this patch also provides a
lookup by pvid. The lookup by pvid can be used in conjunction with
lvmcache_get_pvids to process all pvs in the system.
The pvid find function first calls lvmcache_vgname_from_pvid, which may
cause the label to be read if it is not in the cache. If the vgname is
returned is an orphan, we then check to see if there are metadata areas,
and if not, we scan every PV on the system by calling scan_vgs_for_pvs().
In most cases we should not need to do this, and by using the info->mdas
count, we avoid calling pv_read() as prior code did. So this patch is a
bit cleaner and should allow us to refactor more of the pv code.

The effort to fix bug 581611 corrected a bug that was unnoticed
at the time. The loop in _remove_mirror_images that looks over
the specified PVs was allowing devices that were previously
counted and moved to the end of the list to be double-counted.
This resulted in the number of devices needed for removal always
being satisfied - even if the user did not specify enough PVs
for removal to satisfy the request. When 581611 was fixed, this
double-counting no longer took place and the result was to remove
only the minimum of the number of PVs specified or the number
that was asked to be removed.
By simply always setting 'new_area_count' (as used to be done
only in the else statement), we return to the previous behavior.
Indeed, this is exactly what the double-counting was allowing
to happen before the fix of 581611.

There's no need for foreign udev rules to touch LVM reserved devices

be visible. The same applies for /dev/disk content - no need to create
any content for these devices (and so no need to run any "blkid" etc.).
This also prevents setting any inotify "watch" from udev rules on such
devices that is a source of race conditions (the rules need to honor
DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES_FLAG for this to work though).
We should write metadata into next position in the ring buffer while calling
vgrename and vgcfgrestore. At this code level (_vg_write_raw), we were not able
to determine if this is a rename or not. If yes, then accompanying VG structure
passed here has a new name set, not the old one.
When looking for a location where to put metadata next, we were given a NULL
value because of failed VG name comparison (in _find_vg_rlocn) between the
name in existing metadata and metadata we're just about to write.
This resets the position in the ring buffer, overwriting any existing metadata
(and also incorrectly updates the cache to "orphan" afterwards).
This patch just adds old_name item in struct volume_group that we can check and use
if necessary and detect renames at lower layers as well.
The same applies for vgcfgrestore, but here we're using a special value of
old_name, an empty string, to disable the check with existing metadata totally.
Internally, we used DM names instead of UUIDs while processing event
handlers. This caused problems while trying to vgrename a VG with active LVs
where the names are being changed and so the devices were not found then.
The patch also contains a little bit of refactoring, moving "build_dlid" code
found in dev_manager.c to "build_dm_uuid", now in lvm-string.c (so we have
build_dm_uuid and build_dm_name at one place).
lvm2app needs a link back to the vg in order to use the vg handle for

more devices may need to be read for an authoritative answer.

Now that we have library functions to add/delete a pv from the vg->pvs
list, call them from everywhere.
Signed-off-by: Dave Wysochanski <dwysocha@redhat.com>
Add a delete function to manage the vg->pvs list.
NOTE: It may be possible to do further cleanup to these add/del functions
by passing a 'pv' as input instead of 'pv_list'. The pv_list is used for
functions which do allocations (lvcreate) while other places in the code
just manage a list of 'pv' (e.g. import functions, vgextend, etc).

Move the increment of vg->pv_count next to the place where we add to
vg->pvs. It looks safe to do this since the only caller of import_pool_vg()
calls import_pool_pvs() immediately afterward, and there is no way
import_pool_vg() can fail (always returns 1). However, if there's a
memory allocation failure inside import_pool_pvs(), we will end up with
a different count in vg->pv_count that with the original code. In any
case, vg->pv_count should be as close to dm_list_size(&vg->pvs) as
possible, as is the case everywhere else in the code.
Signed-off-by: Dave Wysochanski <dwysocha@redhat.com>
The dm_list * parameter is unnecessary since we are passing in 'vg'
and the only caller of import_pool_pvs() passes '&vg->pvs' in the
dm_list * parameter. Just use vg->pvs directly in the function.

Patch is inspired by Debian's extra patch.
- removes OWNER & GROUP make vars they are parts of INSTALL command.
- adds INSTALL_PROGRAM for executable, uses $(INSTALL)
- adds INSTALL_DATA for non-executable data, uses ($INSTALL)
- adds INSTALL_WDATA for writable non-executable data, uses ($INSTALL)
- adds configure option --enable-write_install - to support
installatin of writable files used by distribution
- replaces usage of ifeq @LIB_SUFFIX@ with $(LIB_SUFFIX)
- installs .a files from static builds without executable flag
- installs .a files to $(usrlibdir) instead of $(libdir)
- installs all static binaries to $(staticdir)
- create .so links for devel package in $(usrlibdir) instead of
$(libdir)
- makes .so and .so.LIB_VERSION files within builddir
- removes VERSIONED_SHLIB and created versioned LIB_SHARED automagicaly
- install LIB_SHARED via install_lib_shared target
- install plugins via install_lib_shared_plugin target
- prints whole 'install' command during installation instead of less
informative "Installing $(something) $(somewhere)"
- install multiple man pages with one INSTALL command
- use DISTCLEAN_TARGETS instead of creating multiple distclean targets
Usage of VPATH makes troubles when used within $(builddir).
Not only source files are being found through VPATH,
but targets as well. (make --debug=v)
Thus if user builds the code in $(srcdir) and also in some $(builddir)
he gets mangled results as some generated files (i.e. .export.sym)
are 'reused' from $(srcdir) instead of $(builddir).
This patch switches to use vpath were we could explicitly name
suffixes that should be looked via vpath - we must take care,
we do not generate files with these suffixes:
.c, .in, .po, .exported_symbols
A user specifying duplicate paths on the cmdline of vgcreate will
get a message similar to the following:
vgcreate vgtest2 /dev/loop3 /dev/loop5
Found duplicate PV jk1lXsKzwyOKlXq6bhaFFKMQQ06oPgu8: using /dev/loop5 not /dev/loop3

Internal error: Duplicate PV id jk1lXs-Kzwy-OKlX-q6bh-aFFK-MQQ0-6oPgu8 detected for /dev/loop3 in vgtest2.
This is caught by vg_validate(), but it would be good to find
this condition earlier in the vgcreate code. add_pv_to_vg()
currently checks by pvname, but does not look for duplcate pvids.
This patch adds the check for duplicate pvids and results in new
error output as follows:

Because we have now strong rule for lock ordering:
- VG locks must be taken in alphabetical order
- ORPHAN locks must be the last
vgs_locked() is now not needed.
This fixes problem with orphan locking, e.g.
vgremove VG1 | vgremove VG2
lock(VG1) | lock(VG2)
lock(ORPHAN) | lock(ORPHAN) -> fail, non-blocking
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=578413
(More similar places in code.)
Physical segments were still allocated from global
command context mempool.
This leads to very high memory usage when
activating large VG (vgchange).
(Memory usage was about 2G when >3000LVs).
Fix it by properly using vg->vgmem private pool,
so all the memory is released early.
New memory pool parameter is needed here for pv_split_segment
function.
Also fix the same problem in some minor allocations
(vg description, lv segment split).
In addition to previous patch, we really do not need
to search for segment which was just allocated in
split request.
Make pv_split_segment function return newly allocated
(split) segment also.
(So after this patch, there is only one user
of slow find_peg_by_pe).
The function find_peg_by_pe is incredibly inefficient
for Pvs with many segments.
In shiny future there should be binary (or interval) tree
instead of sorted linked list (volunteers?).
Anyway, for now, we can use dirty trick here to optimise this case:
- Allocations are usually applied from the beginning
of PV (we have no alloocation policy which allocates areas
"backwards")
- The only user of find_peg_by_pe is pv_split_segment()
call. In *most* cases it need to split *last* PV segment.
So if we search sorted pv segment list backwards, we
hit the requested segment immediatelly.
This patch applies this tiny change.
(and saves >30% of processing time when >3000LVs segments are on one PV!)
To discourage using this inefficient function from other code,
it is moved to pv_manip.c and used static for now:-)
vg_validate call is an adept to optimisation, it is very
ineeficient and slow.
Anyway, we should call it only before writing data to disk.
The call in lvmcache was just temporary validation,
we realy do not need to revalidate cached metadata
every time.
(Actually, I added that there just to prove that cache works
properly and forgot to remove it.)
Patch removes it from lvmcache completely, this can hit only
internal bug in export function (and this bug must
be detected in any vg_write call anyway before).
The _read_vg uses already hash for PVs to optimise
reading of large VGs and avoiding repeated PV list traversing.
Use the same aproach to speed up parsing VG with many LVs.
Code moves initilization of stats values to _memlock_maps().
For dmeventd we need to use mlockall() - so avoid reading config value
and go with _use_mlockall code path.
Patch assumes dmeventd uses C locales!
Patch needs the call or memlock_inc_daemon() before memlock_inc()
(which is our common use case).
Some minor code cleanup patch for _un/_lock_mem_if_needed().

Still cflow usage is not perfect.

This check-in enables the 'mirrored' log type. It can be specified
by using the '--mirrorlog' option as follows:
#> lvcreate -m1 --mirrorlog mirrored -L 5G -n lv vg
I've also included a couple updates to the testsuite. These updates
include tests for the new log type, and some fixes to some of the
*lvconvert* tests.
clvmd's do_lock_lv() already properly controls dmeventd monitoring based
on LCK_DMEVENTD_MONITOR_MODE in lock_flags -- though one small fix was
needed for this to work: _lock_for_cluster() must treat
dmeventd_monitor_mode()'s return as a tri-state value.
Also cleanup do_lock_lv() to:
- explicitly init_dmeventd_monitor() based on LCK_DMEVENTD_MONITOR_MODE
- no longer reset init_dmeventd_monitor() to default at the end of
do_lock_lv() -- it is unnecessary
This is the next preparatory step towards better --alloc anywhere
support and is not intended to break anything that currently works so
please report any problems - segfaults, bogus data in the new debug
messages, or if the code now chooses bizarre allocation layouts.

When we pv_read() a device that has an orphan vgname, we might need to scan
the system to be sure this is true. However, if the PV has mdas, there's
no way possible for it to have an orphan vgname unless it is a true orphan.
Some areas of the code were optimized to take advantage of this fact, while
others were not (we would still do the expensive scan if a device had mdas
but had an orphan VG).
This patch unifies the code so that every place we are operating on such
a PV, we skip the expensive scan if there are mdas.

It is caused because code tries to "refresh" cache if

It seems it could be locked on 64bit kernels running 32bit binaries,
but it makes troubles on real 32bit machines where mlock() returns
error when trying to lock such map area. (0xffffe000)
Behavior of mlockall() seems to be similar.
This patch adds a new implementation of locking function instead
of mlockall() that may lock way too much memory (>100MB).
New function instead uses mlock() system call and selectively locks
memory areas from /proc/self/maps trying to avoid locking areas
unused during lock-ed state.
Patch also adds struct cmd_context to all memlock() calls to have
access to configuration.
For backward compatibility functionality of mlockall()
is preserved with "activation/use_mlockall" flag.
As a simple check, locking and unlocking counts the amount of memory
and compares whether values are matching.
Modify linking of readline library. Create new substituted varible

linked it with all created object files of lvm project (i.e. plugins...).
READLINE detection is simplified.
Termcap library is linked in only if readline library doesn't have its own

Patch removes name argument from dev_manager_info call and converts

Also it simplifies mknode call (which is the only user on mknodes parameter).
We need to allocate memory for the tag and copy the tag value before we
add it to the list of tags. We could put this inside lvm2app since the
tools keep their memory around until vg_write/vg_commit is called, but
we put it inside the internal library to minimize code in lvm2app.
We need to copy the tag passed in by the caller to ensure the lifetime of

Add a merging snapshot to the deptree, using the "error" target, rather
than avoid adding it entirely. This allows proper cleanup of the -cow
device without having to rename the -cow to use the origin's name as a
prefix.
Move the preloading of the origin LV, after a merge, from
lv_remove_single() to vg_remove_snapshot(). Having vg_remove_snapshot()
preload the origin allows the -cow device to be released so that it can
be removed via deactivate_lv(). lv_remove_single()'s deactivate_lv()
reliably removes the -cow device because the associated snapshot LV,
that is to be removed when a snapshot-merge completes, is always added
to the deptree (and kernel -- via "error" target).
Now when the snapshot LV is removed both the -cow and -real devices
get removed using uuid rather than device name. This paves the way
for us to switch over to info-by-uuid queries.

We unfortunately don't yet _know_, in dev_manager_snapshot_percent(), if
a snapshot-merge target is active (activation is deferred if dev is
open); so we can't short-circuit origin devices based purely on existing
LVM LV attributes.
Set 'fail_if_percent_unsupported' in dev_manager_snapshot_percent() for
a merging origin LV, otherwise passing unsupported LV types to _percent
will lead to a default successful return with percent_range as
PERCENT_100.
For a merging origin, PERCENT_100 will result in a polldaemon that runs
infinitely (because completion is PERCENT_0).
When activating a merging origin it is valid, and expected, to not have
a node in the deptree for both the origin and its merging snapshot. The
_cached_info() caller is only concerned with whether a device is open.
If there isn't a node in the tree the associated device is definitely
not open.
where we should not expose internal VG names/uuids (the ones with "#" prefix )through the
interface. Otherwise, we could end up with library users opening internal VGs which will
initiate locking mechanism that won't be cleaned up properly.
"#orphans_{lvm1, lvm2, pool}" names are treated in a special way, they are truncated first
to "orphans" and this is used as a part of the lock name then (e.g. while calling lvm_vg_open()).
When library user calls lvm_vg_close(), the original name "orphans_{lvm1, lvm2, pool}"
is used directly and therefore no unlock occurs.
We should exclude internal VG names and uuids in the lists provided by lvmcache:
lvmcache_get_vgids() and lvmcache_get_vgnames().
In dev_manager_info 0 means error and 1 info is returned,
not that device exists (that value is part of info struct).

and strdup's.
merge completes. This narrows the scope of this "hack" (which still
needs a proper fix within the deptree).
This stops dmeventd from trying to access snapshot devices that were
already removed.
For mirror repair (and similar tasks) it can happen that full
device rescan is issued from clvmd.
Because code can be in the middle of repair (calling suspend)
clvmd should never try to scan suspended devices
(otherwise it causes deadlock).
Also code must not change ignore_suspended_device flag when
doing refresh_filters (called from lvmcache scan code).
'const'. Be consistent with its use (and dev_manager_snapshot_percent()).
Pass 'lv' from dev_manager_snapshot_percent() to _percent() to
_percent_run(). _percent_run() always dereferenced 'lv' (when
initializing segh) even though it may have been NULL (as was the case
until now for dev_manager_snapshot_percent()).
If a "snapshot-origin" LV (snapshot-merge whose merge was deferred
becuase it was open) was passed to _percent_run() it would always return
100%.
Update _percent_run() to NOT return PERCENT_100 et. al. if
->target_percent() wasn't ever called and supplied 'lv' is a merging
origin. A default return of 100% does not work for snapshot-merge.
Also tweak a related lvconvert log_error() to include "Aborting merge."
Eliminate 'merging_snapshot' from 'struct logical_volume' and just use
'snapshot' for origin lv's reference to the merging snapshot; also set
MERGING in the origin lv's status.
If either the origin or snapshot that is to be merged is open the merge
will not start; only the merge metadata will be written. The merge will
start on the next activation of the origin (or via lvchange --refresh)
IFF both the origin and snapshot are closed.
Merge on activate is particularly important if we want to merge over a
mounted filesystem that cannot be unmounted (until next boot) --- for
example root.
snapshots are suspended, new origin is created, snapshots are resumed, new
origin is resumed. So it allocates memory while suspended.
To fix it, move vg_commit after suspend_lv, so that the suspend code will
treat it as precommitted vg and will preload new origin prior to suspend.
NOTE: agk doesn't like this "hack"; need to revisit and fix

When activating a snapshot-merge target do not attempt to monitor the

Introduces new libdevmapper function dm_tree_node_add_snapshot_merge_target
Verifies that the kernel (dm-snapshot) provides the 'snapshot-merge'

Activate origin LV as snapshot-merge target. Using snapshot-origin
target would be pointless because the origin contains volatile data
while a merge is in progress.
Because snapshot-merge target is activated in place of the
snapshot-origin target it must be resumed after all other snapshots
(just like snapshot-origin does) --- otherwise small window for data
corruption would exist.
Ideally the merging snapshot would not be activated at all but if it is
to be activated (because snapshot was already active) it _must_ be done
after the snapshot-merge. This insures that DM's snapshot-merge target
will perform exception handover in the proper order (new->resume before
old->resume). DM's snapshot-merge does support handover if the reverse
sequence is used (old->resume before new->resume) but DM will fail to
resume the old snapshot; leaving it suspended.
To insure the proper activation sequence dm_tree_activate_children() was
updated to accommodate an additional 'activation_priority' level. All
regular snapshots are 0, snapshot-merge is 1, and merging snapshot is 2.
Make 'merging_snapshot' pointer that points from the origin to the
segment that represents the merging snapshot.
Import/export 'merging_store' metadata.
Do not allow creating snapshots while another snapshot is merging.
Snapshot created in this state would certainly contain invalid data.
NOTE: patches at the end of this series will remove 'merging_snapshot'

This spurious 'break' has been here since this code was first committed

1. Found bug in 'redundant log' implementation that caused
problems when converting a linear that spanned multiple
devices to a mirror (wasn't checking for NULL value of

2. Testsuite was failing to perform tests when 'not' modifier
was used. This allowed a couple issues to slip through.
Added a 'not_sh' modifier that negates tests performed by
functions defined in the shell source file.
3. Was initializing a variable to far down, which cause
previously set value to be overridden. (This was the
result of the collision of the "redundant log" and
lvconvert fix patches.)
Upon successful fork(), _become_daemon() must assert that the locks that
are currently held belong to the parent, not the child. All of the
child's internal state saying 'this process holds a lock' has to be
reset.
A proper lvmcache_locking_reset() should follow later.
It is pretty much the same as reducing the number of
mirror legs, but we just don't delete them afterwards.
The following command line interface is enforced:
prompt> lvconvert --splitmirror <n> -n <name> <VG>/<LV>
where 'n' is the number of images to split off, and
where 'name' is the name of the newly split off logical volume.
If more than one leg is split off, a new mirror will be the
result. The newly split off mirror will have a 'core' log.
Example:
[root@bp-01 LVM2]# !lvs
lvs -a -o name,copy_percent,devices
LV Copy% Devices
lv 100.00 lv_mimage_0(0),lv_mimage_1(0),lv_mimage_2(0),lv_mimage_3(0)
[lv_mimage_0] /dev/sdb1(0)
[lv_mimage_1] /dev/sdc1(0)
[lv_mimage_2] /dev/sdd1(0)
[lv_mimage_3] /dev/sde1(0)
[lv_mlog] /dev/sdi1(0)
[root@bp-01 LVM2]# lvconvert --splitmirrors 2 --name split vg/lv /dev/sd[ce]1
Logical volume lv converted.
[root@bp-01 LVM2]# !lvs
lvs -a -o name,copy_percent,devices
LV Copy% Devices
lv 100.00 lv_mimage_0(0),lv_mimage_2(0)
[lv_mimage_0] /dev/sdb1(0)
[lv_mimage_2] /dev/sdd1(0)
[lv_mlog] /dev/sdi1(0)
split 100.00 split_mimage_0(0),split_mimage_1(0)
[split_mimage_0] /dev/sde1(0)
[split_mimage_1] /dev/sdc1(0)
It can be seen that '--splitmirror <n>' is exactly the same
as '--mirrors -<n>' (note the minus sign), except there is the
additional notion to keep the image being detached from the
mirror instead of just throwing it away.

This patch tries to correctly track changes in lvmcache related to commit/revert.
For vg_commit: if there is cached precommitted metadata, after successfull commit
these metadata must be tracked as committed.
For vg_revert: remote nodes must drop precommitted metadata and its flag in lvmcache.
(N.B. Patch do not touch LV locks here in any way.)
All this machinery is needed to properly solve remote node cache invalidaton which
cause several problems recently observed.
Lock mode is int masked by LCK_TYPE_MASK, always.
Patch also remove uneccessary masking lock flag on sender side,
if masking is needed, it is don on client side already.
- Add drop_precommitted flag to force drop precommitted metadata
- add lvmcache_commit_metadata() which upgrades precommitted metadata in cache
No functional change in this patch - just preparation for following change.
And decode flags in humar readable form in client.
And clean some trailing whitespaces.
No functional change in this patch (only debugging messages changed).
The use_precommitted flag indicates, that we want to use precommitted metadata
(used in suspend call to preload table with precommitted data).
But if there are no such data, committed metadata are read but the cache
still contains that precommitted flag.
(The problem is that later possible drop_metadata call will not invalidate
device in cache.)
The wrong precommitted state is stored in on remote nodes during normal
suspend/resume cycle _without_ vg_write/commit.
Use the PRECOMMITTED status flag here instead (which is always set if using
precommited metadata here).
If renaming snapshot with virtual origin, the origin is renamed too.
But the code must resume LVs in reverse order to properly
pair memlock (in cluster locking).
(The resume of snapshot resumes origin too and later resume
is ignored otherwise.)
When PV device reappears with old metadata, it is
always updated to new version byt atutomatic metadata
repair.
Remove missing flag if device is empty.
If device contains allocated extents, issue warning that
user must remove volumes and re-add this PV before
manipulating with this volume.
This partially solves bug 547842 when one PV (log) is failed,
dmeventd removes that device and later this device reappears and
is wrongly added into VG marked missing.
The memlock_inc() fix is wrong, memlock count is not
propagated to long living process (clvmd) and just
it underflow there.
Also suspend is needed to pre-load precommited metadata
on other nodes (remapping to error taget in this case).
With explicit suspend we generate lock request and code
can update memlock count.
(Infinitely "locked" memory caused that fs_unlock() was not
called properly and on cluster nodes remains
old links in /dev/mapper for not active devices.)
(N.B. failing of suspend call here is not handled as fatal
error - the LV is going to be removed later anyway.)
The new recovery code first tries to repair LV and then removes failed PV
from VG. It means that during operation there can be VG with PV missing,
and vg_read code handles it like not consistent VG.
We already allows returning "inconsistent" commited metadata,
for mirror repair we need this for precommited too.
(The suspend call prepares precommited metadata to inactive table on
other cluster nodes.)
"Inconsistent" here means - correct metadata, just with some metadata areas
not found (obviously on missing or failed PVs).
Patch should not cause any problems, only real change is
removing LCK_LOCAL bit from lock type flag, it is never used there.
(LCK_LOCAL is part arg[1] bits anyway.)
If there is problem deactivate LV and
_init_mirror_log is called with remove_on_failure = 1,
remove the newly created log LV from metadata.
(This can happen if there is active device with the same name
but different UUID.)
The main reason for this "workaround" patch is to
- do not keep _mlog volume in metadata, so user can repeat the action
- print better error message describing the real problem
# lvcreate -m 2 -n lv1 -l 1 --nosync vg_bar

At this point they probably do not matter but going forward they
may - depends on future patches for replicator, etc. I think
these probably got missed because they were 'flags' so I changed
the name to 'status' to be consistent. So the on-disk
things 'flags' and the in structure 'status' (bits).

pvmove suspends all moved LVs + pvmoveX mirrored LV itself.
This suspends even underlying pvmoveX and following explicit
suspend call is just noop.
But in resume the pvmoveX volume is no longer underlying
device for moved LVs, so it performs full resume with memlock
decrease.
Code must call memlock_inc() if suspend is requested, volume
is already suspended and error is not requested.
These are no longer used by anyone. The dm_list defines are all in
libdevmapper.h and libdm/datastruct/list.c contains any function definitions.
There is some code in "old-tests" that still use this but this code is not
being maintained.
Thanks to Zdenek for spotting this.
The physical_volume, volume_group, logical_volume and lv_segment
structures' 'status' member is now uint64_t.
The alignment of these structures was also audited to remove holes. The
movement of some members in 'volume_group' and 'lv_segment' eliminates
holes. The 'physical_volume' structure still has one 4-byte hole after
'pe_size'; the other structures no longer have any holes. Each
structures' size has not changed.
The sysfs filter initialise hash of available devices using
scan of /sys/block. We need to refresh even this hash
when performing full scan otherwise the newly appeared
device could be rejected, because there is no entry
in sysfs filter.
This easily could happen when attaching new device
to cluster node. (Only force refresh of context
in clvmd -R works here now).
Unfortunately consequences of this are much worse,
missing device part on that node is replaced with missing segment
(even when no partial arg is selected) and this directly
lead to data corruption.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=538515
Simply fix it by refreshing device filters in lvmcache
before performing the full device scan.
(This affects only cluster locking because only cluster
locking module set LCK_PRE_MEMLOCK.)
With currect code you get
# vgchange -a n
Internal error: _memlock_count has dropped below 0.
when using cluster locking.
It is caused by _unlock_memory calls here
if ((flags & (LCK_SCOPE_MASK | LCK_TYPE_MASK)) == LCK_LV_RESUME)
memlock_dec();
Unfortunately it is also (wrongly) called in immediate unlock
(when LCK_HOLD is not set) from lock_vol
(LCK_UNLOCK is misinterpreted as LCK_LV_RESUME).
Avoid this by comparing original flags and provide memlock
code type of operation (suspend/resume).
indented metadata lines.
Macro outnl() is using exported out_newline() instead of direct
call f->fn(), that required the visibility of the internal
struct formatter.
Rename fill_default_pvcreate_params to pvcreate_params_set_defaults.
Rename pvcreate_validate_restore_params to pvcreate_restore_params_validate.
Rename pvcreate_validate_params to pvcreate_params_validate.
Similar to other vg_set_* functions, we create a vg_set_clustered() function
which does a few checks and sets a flag. This is where we check for
any limitations of clusters.
