Because preload of table for snapshot can produce snapshot
metadata (in kernel cow header) read.
Code should suspend origin first to avoid possible deadlock
when preloading (thus calling snapshot in-kernel constructor)
for origin with suspended cow device.
(fixes previous commit)
Several commands calls process_each_vg() and in provided
callback it explicitly recovers VG if inconsistent.
(vgchange, vgconvert, vgscan)
It means that old VG is released and reread but the function
above (process_one_vg) tries to unlock and release old VG.
Patch moves the repair logic into _process_one_vg() function.
It always tries to read vg (even inconsistent) and then decides
what to do according new defined parameter.
Also patch unifies inconsistent error messages.
The only slight change if for vgremove command, where
it now tries to repair VG before it removes if force arg is given.
(It works similar way before, just the order of operation changed).
When mirror convert polling is started (mainly as backgound process,
in lvchange -a y or in lvconvert itself) it tries to read VG
and LV identified by its name.
Unfortunatelly, the VG can have already different LV under the same name,
and various more or less funny things can happen (note that
_finish_lvconvert_mirror suspends the volume for example).
(the typical example is our testing script which continuously recreates
LVs under the same name in the same VG.)
This patch adds optional uuid parameter which helps to properly
select the monitoring object. For lvconvert polling it is set to LV UUID
and both _get_lvconvert_vg and _get_lvconvert_lv uses it to read proper VG/LV.
(In the pvmove case it is NULL, here we poll for physical volume name).
If there is no free area for log, code should break the loop.
(Otherwise it uses uninitializes areas later.)
Easily reproducible using lvconvert --repair
- kill device with log
- run lvconvert --repair vg/lv (with no PV usable for log)
During vgreduce is failed mirror image replaced with error segment,
this segmant type has always area_count == 0.
Current code expects that there is at least one area with device,
patch fixes it by additional check (fixes segfault during vgreduce).
Also do not calculate readahead in every lv_info call, we only need
to cache PV readahead before activation calls which locks memory.
When we are stacking LV over device, which has for some reason
increased read_ahead (e.g. MD RAID), the read_ahead hint
for libdevmapper is wrong (it is zero).
If the calculated read_ahead hint is zero, patch uses read_ahead of underlying device
(if first segment is PV) when setting DM_READ_AHEAD_MINIMUM_FLAG.
Because we are using dev-cache, it also store this value to cache for future use
(if several LVs are over one PV, BLKRAGET is called only once for underlying device.)
This should fix all the reamining problems with readahead mismatch reported
for DM over MD configurations (and similar cases).
We can temporarily violate max_lv during mirror conversion etc.
(If the operation fails, orphan mirror images are visible to administrator
for manual remove for example. Not that this should ever happen:-)
Force limit only for lvcreate (and vg merge) command.
Patch also adds simple max_lv tests into testsuite
The vg->lv_count parameter now includes always number of visible
logical volumes.
Note that virtual snapshot volume (snapshotX) is never visible,
but it is stored in metadata with visible flag.
link_lv_to_vg and unlink_lv_from_vg are the only functions
for adding/removing logical volume from volume group.
Only these function should manipulate with vg->lvs list.
The snapshot segment (snapshotX) is created twice
during the text metadata segment processing.
This can cause temporary violation of max_lv count.
Simplify the code, snapshot segment is properly initialized
in init_snapshot_seg function now and do not need to be replaced
by vg_add_snapshot call.
The vg_add_snapshot() is now usefull only for adding new
snapshot and it shares the same initialization function.
The snapshot name is always generated, name paramater can be
removed from function call.
The seg variable is temporary variable for list iterator,
code cannot expect that after iteration it remains NULL
(it contains non-NULL pointer here id list is empty).
Patch fixes first_seg function so it now correctly returns NULL
for empty segment list.
Add lvs origin_size field.
Fix linux configure --enable-debug to exclude -O2.
Still a few rough edges, but hopefully usable now:
lvcreate -s vg1 -L 100M --virtualoriginsize 1T
The backup() call store metadata from memory.
But in cluster backup() call performs
remote nodes metadata backup and it reads data from disk.
For metadata backup consistency,
patch moves all backup() calls after vg_commit.
(Moreover, some tools already do that this way.)
Since now, all code reading volume group is responsible for releasing
the memory allocated by calling vg_release(vg).
(For simplicity of use, vg_releae can be called for vg == NULL,
the same logic like free(NULL)).
Also providing simple macro for unlocking & releasing in one step,
tools usualy uses this approach.
The global memory pool (cmd->mem) should be used only for global
physical volume operations.
This patch have to be applied with all subsequent patches to complete
memory pool per vg logic.
Using separate memory pool has quite bit memory saving impact when
using large VGs, this is mainly needed when we have to use
preallocated and locked memory (and should not overflow from that
memory space).
The all_pvs list, used in vg_read, should make its own private
copy of pv structures, otherwise (when vg will use its own pool)
it will point to released memory pool.
The same applies for get_pvs() call.
Patch adds pv_list copy helper and adds explicit memory pool
parameter into _copy_pv.
(Please note that all these helper functions cannot guarantee that
vg related fields are valid - proper vg read & lock must be used
if it is requested.)
Patch fixes these problems:
- during the snapshot creation process, it needs create 2 LVs,
one is cow, second becomes snapshot.
If the code fails in vg_add_snapshot, code lvcreate will not remove
LV cow volume.
- if max_lv is set and VG contains snapshot, it can happen that
during the activation lv_count is temporarily increased over the limit
and VG metadata are not properly processed
see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=490298
- vgcfgrestore alows restore with max_lv set to lower valuer that actual
LV count. This later leads to situation that max_lv is completely ignored.
- vgck doesn't call vg_validate(). It should at least try:-)

This patch is not fully tested and leaves some related bugs unfixed.
Intended behaviour of the code now:
pe_start in the lvm2 format PV label header is set only by pvcreate (or
vgconvert -M2) and then preserved in *all* operations thereafter.
In some specialist cases, after the PV is added to a VG, the pe_start
field in the VG metadata may hold a different value and if so, it
overrides the other one for as long as the PV is in such a VG.
Currently, the field storing the size of the data area in the PV label
header always holds 0. As it only has meaning in the context of a
volume group, it is calculated whenever the PV is added to a VG (and can
be derived from extent_size and pe_count in the VG metadata).
