It could be actually better to use even cache origin in
read-only mode so there could no be some 'acidental'
change being done on this volume.
This however need further tools enhancment - where we would need
to handle whole subtree on 'lvchange -pr/-prw'.
When command calls backup() more then once (which is actually not
wanted) this warning message is shown repeatedly:
"WARNING: This metadata update is NOT backed up."
Instead now print message just once and less confuse user.
Add this functionality to lvconvert:
'lvconvert --thin cachedLV --thinpool vg/poll'
Converts cachedLV to external origin (which will be read-only).
New thin volume is created in thinpool LV and it's using external
origin as source for unprovisioned chunks.
This conversion happens online (while volume is in use).
Thin LV remains fully writable.
Cached external origin no longer could be written so cache will be used
ONLY for read operations. For this limitation we require cache mode
to be writethrough (as writeback cannot write to read-only volumes).
When thinLV is later removed cached external origin is again
fully usable, just note, LV remain in 'read-only' mode.
When read-write is needed, 'lvchange -prw' has to be used.
Single external origin could be user by multiple thinLV in
multiple differen thin pool.
When cache volume may be converted from normal to -real layer LV
we need to improve logic for call cache_check.
With this patch, we register call for cache_check only when metadata LV
is not yet present in active table slot (should match initial table
load).
This avoids unwanted checking when cache would become layer device
online.
External origin could be reloaded via more locks.
It's actually even more complex then thin-pool,
as it may be active on more nodes for linear LVs
(and maybe even more types).
External origin is always read-only thus unmodifiable
device so there should not be a problem accesing it
through multiple nodes.
Also for thin-pool check first presence of active thin-pool.
FIXME:
It's not easy to detect on which nodes this device is active
Thus manipulation with such device may require checking every
node and it active state and refresh.
But since such setup is quite complex to prepare and use,
hopefully there are not user trying to 'explore' this usage yet.
To be ready to show status of cache volume, call the status
with layer. Layer is automatically detected in this case when
cache volume is used in 'layered' form (needs -real suffix).
Avoid printing misleading message about single dirty block.
Instead properly detect condition where the 'cleaner' policy
needs to be installed without 'overloading' dirty variable.
Also print warning if we would be clearing read-only volume.
(it really shouldn't happen).
External origin could be activated as stand-alone device.
When the last thin LV is removed, external origin is no longer
the external origin and it's layer property was dropped.
Ensure dm table is correct by reloading external origin
(when it's active).
When LV is external origin, show info for LV but
status for -layer. So we expose more info to a user
as otherwise active external origin is only linear
mapping of -real layer.
We do the same for i.e. old snaphost origin.
Activation of raid has brough up also splitted image with tracing
(without taking lock for this).
So when raid is now activate - such image is not put into
table (with _rmeta). When user needs such device, just active it.
Commit 0690392040 revealed a problem
in raid metadata manipulation.
We do two operations in one table reload:
- raid leg/image extraction
- rename remaining raid legs
This should be made in separate steps. Otherwise we do an
uncorrectable table change on error path (leaving tables
for admin and dmsetup).
As a hotfix - restore the previous logic and use a single
new function _lv_update_and_reload_list which activates exclusively
extracted LVs on the list before resuming suspended raid LV.
This restore 'rename' functionality upon resume.
Also still preserve the 'origin_only' logic - although we know
it's not working properly for cluster and LV stacking.
Further fixes are needed.
backup is not 'tested' for success and also it should
actually happen just when command is finished.
We do not target to make backups with each inter-step
metadata change.
RAID is LV property
TODO: only 2 flags are seg->status: PVMOVE & MERGING
At least the second one should be soon elimanted as again
we merge LV not a segment.
This is another place for 'common' use pattern or
reload and activation of deleted devices.
(Moving the exclusive activation to _deactivate_and_remove_lvs()).
TODO: looks like halve of raid function is reloading
just 'origin' - and the other full LV.
Add a macro for the clz (count leading zeros) operation.
Use the GCC __builtin_clz() for clz() if it is available and fall
back to a shift based implementation on systems that do not set
HAVE___BUILTIN_CLZ.
Fix order of operation when converting raid1 into old mirror.
Before any later metadata modification are initiated prepare
mirror_log device with all clearing.
Then directly convert raid1 into mirror with mirror_log.
This convertion now properly see as precommitted metadata
new 'mirror' and committed old 'raid' and is able to
preload all LVs.
Simplify info run for use only for INFO & STATUS.
Drop handling MKNODES within _info_run() call
and use more advanced _setup_task_run() directly.
This allows to further simplify _info_run().
Integrate also query for inactive table and
handle dm_task_run() and dm_task_get_info()
(thus switching to setup_task_run)
Add one exception case for DM_DEVICE_TARGET_MSG.
This allows further shortening and simplification of all
other users of this function.
It's actually not needed to call extra lv_has_target_type() to detect
snapshot merge is in progress - decode this right during status
capturing and save even few extra ioctl calls.
Drop LV from passed API arg - it's always segment being checked.
Also use_layer is now in full control of lv_info_with_seg_status().
It decides which device needs to be checked to get 'the most info'.
TODO: future version should be able to expose status from
Start moving selection of status taken for a LV into a single place.
The logic for showing info & status has been spread over multiple
places and were doing too complex decision going agains each other.
Unify selection of status of origin & cow scanned device.
TODO: in future we want to grab status for LV and layered LV and have
both statuses present for display - i.e. when 'old snapshot'
of thinLV is takes and there is ongoing merge - at some moment
we are not capable to show all needed info.
When lvm2 wants to see a status, it needs to validate,
segment for status reading is matching whan lvm2 expects in
metadata.
Also ensure status failure will not cause '0' from info reading
when actual info was collected properly.
Failure in 'status' reading is considered to be
a 'log_warn()' event only.
When we can't parse status, switch to warning as this is not
considered an errornous case. LVS is not supposed to return
error status code when device is not what it's been expected to
be - but it should be WARNING a user there is something unexpected.
