The 'pe_start' column was incorrectly marked as being of type NUM.
This was not correct as pe_start is actually of type SIZ, which means
it can have a size suffix and hence it's not a pure numeric value.
Proper column type is important for selection to work correctly, so we
can also do comparisons while using suffixes.
This is also important for new "json_std" output format which does not
put double quotes around pure numeric values. With pe_start incorrectly
marked as NUM instead of SIZ, this produced invalid JSON output
like '"pe_start" = 1.00m' because it contained the 'm' (or other)
size suffix. If properly marked as SIZ, this is then put in double
quotes like '"pe_start" = "1.00m"'.
multipath_component_detection=0 has always applied to the filter-based
component detection. Also apply this setting to the duplicate-PV
handling which also eliminates multipath components (based on duplicate
PVs having the same wwid.)
When creating VDO pool based of % values, lvm2 is now more clever
and avoids to create 'unsupportable' sizes of physical backend
volumes as 16TiB is maximum size supported by VDO target
(and also limited by maximum supportable slabs (8192) based on slab
size.
If the requested virtual size is approaching max supported size 4PiB,
switch header size to 0.
Newer VDO kernel target require to have matching virtual size - this
however cause incompatiblity when lvcreate is let to format VDO data
device and read the usable size from vdoformat.
Altough this is a kernel regression and will likely get fixed,
lvm2 can actually reformat VDO device to use properly aligned VDO LV
size to make this problem disappear.
Add function to check for avaialble memory for particular VDO
configuration - to avoid unnecessary machine swapping for configs
that will not fit into memory (possibly in locked section).
Formula tries to estimate RAM size machine can use also with
swapping for kernel target - but still leaving some amount of
usable RAM.
Estimation is based on documented RAM usage of VDO target.
If the /proc/meminfo would be theoretically unavailable, try to use
'sysinfo()' function, however this is giving only free RAM without
the knowledge about how much RAM could be eventually swapped.
TODO: move _get_memory_info() into generic lvm2 API function used
by other targets with non-trivial memory requirements.
Keep single source for most of values printed in lvm.conf
(still needs some conversion)
Correct max for logical threads to 60
(we may refuse some older configuration which might eventually
user higher numbers - but so far let's assume no user have ever set this
as it's been non-trivial and if would complicate code unnecessarily.)
Accept maximum of 4PiB for virtual size of VDO LV
(lvm2 will drop 'header borders to 0 for this case').
to compare with wwids in /etc/multipath/wwids when
excluding multipath components. The wwid printed
from the sysfs wwid file may not be the wwid used
in multipath wwids. Save the wwids found for each
device on dev->wwids to avoid repeating reading
and parsing the sysfs files.
Fixes commit 494372b4ee
"filter-mpath: use multipath blacklist"
to handle wwids with initial type digits 1 and 2 used
for t10 and eui ids. Originally recognized type 3 naa.
A typo of the filename after --devicesfile should result in a
command error rather than the command falling back to using no
devices file at all. Exception is vgcreate|pvcreate which
create a new devices file if the file name doesn't exist.
Explicit wwid's from these sections control whether the
same wwid in /etc/multipath/wwids is recognized as a
multipath component. Other non-wwid keywords are not
used, and may require disabling the use of the multipath
wwids file in lvm.conf.
Change messages that refer to devices being "excluded by filters"
to say just "excluded". This will avoid mistaking the word
"filters" with the lvm.conf filter setting.
Warn if a scsi device is listed in the devices file that
is used by a multipath device that is not listed. This
will happen if a scsi device is listed in the devices
file and then an mpath device is set up to use it.
The way to correct this would be to remove the devices
file entry for the component device and add a new entry
for the multipath device.
When thin-pool had queued some delete message on extension operation
such message has been 'lost' and thin-pool kernel metadata has been
left with a thin volume that no longer existed for lvm2 metadata.
dev_name(dev) returns "[unknown]" if there are no names
on dev->aliases. It's meant mainly for log messages.
Many places assume a valid path name is returned, and
use it directly. A caller that wants to use the path
from dev_name() must first check if the dev has any
paths with dm_list_empty(&dev->aliases).
Use dev_cache_get_existing() in a few common, high level
locations where it's obvious that only existing dev-cache
entries are wanted. This can be expanded and used in more
locations (or dev_cache_get can stop creating new entries.)
along with some basic checks for cases when a device
has no aliases.
lvm itself creates many situations where a struct device
has no valid paths, when it activates and opens an LV,
does something with it, e.g. zeroing, and then closes
and deactivates it. (dev-cache is intended for PVs, and
the use of LVs should be moved out of dev-cache in a
future patch.)
Different target type for LV it's not an internal error.
i.e. when target type is replaced with 'error' type - it should be
reported as regular warning and not cause interruption of command with
internall error.
With very old version of DM target driver we have to avoid
trying to use newuuid setting - otherwise we get error
during ioctl preparation phase.
Patch is fixing regression from commit:
988ea0e94c
In a certain disconnected state, a block device is present on
the system, can be opened, reports a valid size, reports the
correct device id (wwid), and matches a devices file entry.
But, reading the device can still fail. In this case,
device_ids_validate() was misinterpreting the read error as
the device having no data/label on it (and no PVID).
The validate function would then clear the PVID from the
devices file entry for the device, thinking that it was
fixing the devices file (making it consistent with the on disk
state.) Fix this by not attempting to check and correct a
devices file entry that cannot be read. Also make this case
explicit in the hints validation code (which was doing the
right thing but indirectly.)
When compiled and used with:
CFLAGS="-fsanitize=address -g -O0"
ASAN_OPTIONS=strict_string_checks=1:detect_stack_use_after_return=1:check_initialization_order=1:strict_init_order=1
we have few reported issue - they where not normally spotted, since
we were still accessing our own memory - but ouf of buffer-range.
TODO: there is still something to enhance with handling of #orphan vgids
event based autoactivation is now the only method that lvm
provides for autoactivation.
Setting lvm.conf event_activation=0 can still be used to disable
event based autoactivation commands, but doing so will no longer
enable static autoactivation.
Removes some incorrect and unnecessary checks for other entries
when adding a new devices. The removed checks and corrections were
mostly redundant with what is already done by device id matching.
Other checking is reworked so the warnings are a bit different.
When a device has a wwid (from sysfs), but lvm ignores the wwid,
e.g. because it contains an unreliable "QEMU" value, then lvm
falls back to using IDTYPE=devname (the device name) as the
device id. If the device name changes after reboot, then lvm
automatically searches for the PV on other devices to find the
new device name and correct system.devices. When searching for
the PV, lvm skips looking at devices that would use other id types,
e.g. if a device would use a wwid and not a devname, then it
skips checking it. However, it failed to account for the fact
that a device may have wwid that was ignored, in which case it
should be checked.
. error exit means that lvmdevices --update would make a change.
. remove check of PART field from --check because it isn't used.
. unlink searched_devnames file to ensure check|update will search
The approach to duplicate VGIDs has been that it is not possible
or not allowed, so the behavior has been undefined. The actual
result was unpredictable and/or broken, and generally unhelpful.
Improve this by recognizing the problem, displaying the VGs,
and printing a warning to fix the problem. Beyond this,
using VGs with duplicate VGIDs remains undefined, but should
work well enough to correct the problem with vgchange -u.
It's possible to create this condition without too much difficulty
by cloning PVs, followed by an incomplete attempt at making the two
VGs unique (vgrename and pvchange -u, but missing vgchange -u.)
After a vg_write, this function was used to attempt to
make lvmcache data match the new state written to disk.
It was not updated correctly in a many or most cases,
and the resulting lvmcache is not actually used after
vg_write, making the update unnecessary.
This reverts commit bd2baeaaa6.
This commit broke vgrename because vgrename relies on old bugs
in lvmcache_update_vg_from_write and lvmcache_update_vgname
which need to be fixed first.

Since we check for present DM devices - cache result for
futher use of checking presence of such device.
lvm2 uses cache result for label scan, but also when
it tries to activate or deactivate LV - however only simple
target 'striped' is reasonably supported.
Use disable_dm_devs to be able to control when lv_info()
get cache or uncached results.

Improve handling of md components that get through the
filter, like the previous improvement for multipath.
If md components get through the filter and trigger
duplicate PV code, then eliminate any devs entirely
that are not an md device.
If multipath component devices get through the filter and
cause lvm to see duplicate PVs, then check the wwid of the
devs and drop the component devices as if they had been
filtered. If a dm mpath device was found among the duplicates
then use that as the PV, otherwise do not use any of the
components as the PV.
"duplicate PVs" associated with multipath configs will no
longer stop commands from working.
Remove the searched_devnames file in a couple more places:
. When hints need refreshing it's possible that a missing
devices file entry could be found by searching devices
again.
. When a devices file entry devname is first found to be
incorrect, a new search for missing entries may be
useful.
When devnames are used as device ids and devnames change,
then new devices need to be located for the PVs. If the old
devname is now used by a filtered device, this was preventing
the code from searching for the new device, so the PV was
reported as missing.
If the optimized label scan fails (using online files),
then clear the device state prior to falling back to the
standard label_scan. This avoids printing output about
unexpected state.
Copy another optimization from pvscan -aay to vgchange -aay.
When using the optimized label scan for only one VG, acquire the
VG lock prior to the scan. This allows vg_read to then skip the
repeated label scan that normally happens after locking the vg.
Include the device name in the /run/lvm/pvs_online/pvid files.
Commands using the pvid file can use the devname to more quickly
find the correct device, vs finding the device using the
major:minor number. If the devname in the pvid file is missing
or incorrect, fall back to using the devno.
For completeness and consistency, adjust the behavior
for some variations of:
vgchange -aay --autoactivation event [vgname]
The current standard use is with a VG name arg, and the
command is only called when all pvs_online files exist.
This is the optimal case, in which only pvs_online devs
are read. This remains the same.
Clean up behaviors for some other unexpected uses of the
command:
. With no VG name arg, the command activates any VGs
that are complete according to pvs_online. If no
pvs_online files exist, it does nothing.
. If a VG name is used but no PVs online files exist for
the VG, or the PVs online files are incomplete, then
consider there could be a problem with the pvs_online
files, and fall back to a full label scan prior to
attempting the activation.
Part of the optimization to avoid a full dev_cache_scan requires
translating major:minor numbers to a device name. If this devno
translation fails, then fall back to doing a full dev_cache_scan
which is slower but certain to provide the info. This preserves
the most important part of the label scanning optimization in the
vgchange aay (avoiding dev_cache_scan is a relatively small part
of the optimized activation compared to label scanning.)
Port another optimization from pvscan -aay to vgchange -aay:
"pvscan: only add device args to dev cache"
This optimization avoids doing a full dev_cache_scan, and
instead populates dev-cache with only the devices in the
VG being activated.
This involves shifting the use of pvs_online files from
the hints interface up to the higher level label_scan
interface. This specialized label_scan is structured
around creating a list of devices from the pvs_online
files. Previously, a list of all devices was created
first, and then reduced based on the pvs_online files.
The initial step of listing all devices was slow when
thousands of devices are present on the system.
This optimization extends the previous optimization that
used pvs_online files to limit the devices that were
actually scanned (i.e. reading to identify the device):
"vgchange -aay: optimize device scan using pvs_online files"
The information in /run/lvm/pvs_online/<pvid> files can
be used to build a list of devices for a given VG.
The pvscan -aay command has long used this information to
activate a VG while scanning only devices in that VG, which
is an important optimization for autoactivation.
This patch implements the same thing through the existing
device hints interface, so that the optimization can be
applied elsewhere. A future patch will take advantage of
this optimization in vgchange -aay, which is now used in
place of pvscan -aay for event activation.
When a device id is set for a device, using an idtype other
than devname, it means that sysfs has been used with the device
to match the device id. So, checking for a sysfs entry for the
device in filter-sysfs is redundant. For any other cases not
covered by this (e.g. devname ids), have filter-sysfs simply
stat /sys/dev/block/major:minor to test if the device exists
in sysfs.
The extensive processing done by filter-sysfs init is removed.
It was taking an immense amount of time with many devices, e.g.
. 1024 PVs in 520 VGs
. 520 concurrent vgchange -ay <vgname> commands
. vgchange scans only PVs in the named VG (based on pvs_online
files from a pending patch)
A large number of the vgchange commands were taking over 1 min,
and nearly half of that time was used by filter-sysfs init.
With this patch, the vgchange commands take about half the time.
When scanning configured /dev dir, avoid entring
directories with different filesystem.
This minimizes risk we will block on i.e. entring
directory with mount point.
Resolve event_activation configure option just once.
Do not print debug_devs about 'bad' filtering, when
actually filter already printed reason for skipping
Do not trace more then once about backup being disabled.
No debug when unlinked file does not exists in pvscan.
Reporting non-PVs / "all devices" is only done by
pvs -a or pvdisplay -a, so avoid the work managing
a list of all devices in process_each_pv.
In the case when it's needed, use the results of
label_scan which already determines which devs
are not PVs.
Just setting lvm.conf level=N should not send messages to
syslog (now the journal by default.)
Sending messages to syslog should require setting lvm.conf
log { syslog=1 level=N }.
Configure via lvm.conf log/journal or command line --journal.
Possible values:
"command" records command information.
"output" records default command output.
"debug" records full command debugging.
Multiple values can be set in lvm.conf as an array.
One value can be set in --journal which is added to
values set in lvm.conf

[--vgonline]
can be used with --checkcomplete, to enable use of a vg online
file. This results in only the first pvscan command to see
the complete VG to report 'VG complete', and others will report
'VG finished'. This allows the caller to easily run a single
activation of the VG.
[--udevoutput]
can be used with --cache --listvg --checkcomplete, to enable
an output mode that prints LVM_VG_NAME_COMPLETE='vgname' that
a udev rule can import, and prevents other output from the
command (other output causes udev to ignore the command.)
The list of complete LVs is meant to be passed to lvchange -aay,
or the complete VG used with vgchange -aay.
When --checkcomplete is used, lvm assumes that that the output
will be used to trigger event-based autoactivation, so the pvscan
does nothing if event_activation=0 and --checkcomplete is used.

The new system_id_source="appmachineid" will cause
lvm to use an lvm-specific derivation of the machine-id,
instead of the machine-id directly. This is now
recommended in place of using machineid.
Do not store full path with each archived name reduces memory usage if
the directory has thousands of entries and just add 'dir' path when
needed.
Also emit info print message to a user if the total size of archived
files for a VG is more then 128MiB or 8192 files.
TODO: Consider wheather adding a new 'lvm.conf archive{option}' to support
trimming these wild archive sizes can make situation better.
We already support retain_min && retain_days - but if user is
generating too many and too large archives with minutes - maybe archiving
should be disabled by a user - as it's not producing anything largely usable
and just slows-down command ??
If we add 'retain_max & retain_max_size' the condition will go against
each other and we need to chose priorities.

Consider missing config tree from vg read to be an internal error
since we do not want to 'regenerate' this one in expesive parsing way.
Also if there is any failure on recreating committed VG, make it also
a 'vg_write' error.
Corrupt metadata text (with good mda header) was being handled
in the label_scan phase, but not in the vg_read phase. This
was sufficient because metadata areas would always be read and
checksummed during label_scan (metadata parsing was skipped
previously as an optimization.)
This changed with the optimization in
commit 61a6f9905e
"metadata: optimize reading metadata copies in scan"
Now, some metadata areas will not be read and checksummed
at all during the label_scan phase, only during the vg_read
phase. This means that bad metadata text may first be detected
in the vg_read phase. So, add equivalent bad metadata handling
to the vg_read path to match the label_scan path.
While being in lockless scanning phase, we can avoid reading and checking
matching metadata copies if we already know them from other PV
and just rely on matching metadata header information.
These copies will be examined later during locked metadata read/write
access.
This patch may postpone discovering some read failures to locked phase.
When creating lvm2 metadata for VG, lvm2 allocate some buffer,
and if buffer is not big enough, the buffer is 'reallocated' bigger,
and whole metadata creation is repeated until metadata fits.
We can try to use 'previous' metadata size as hint to reduce looping
here.
Preserve computed crc32 check from first written PV, just like we
preserve generated metadata.
Also there is no need to call crc32 twice on wrapping buffer with 2 calcs,
result must be always the same as with single crc32 checking.
sysconf() may also return -1 although rather theoretically.
Default to 4K when such case would happen.
Also in function call it just once and keep as static variable.
Ensure only nonNULL 'du' pointer is dereference altough the comment
to the last assign 'du' pointer already suggest 'NULL' case should not happen.
So just being explicit.

Error path in _lockd_retrive_vg_pv_list() has not zeroed released path
caussing possible double-free later in the code.
Fix it by using one single function freeing lock_pvs structure.
When cache creation fails on table reload path, implemen more
advanced revert solution, that tries to restore state of LVM
metadata into is look before actual caching started.
Loading invalid MQ/SMQ policy settings table line cause immediate
rejection - to prevent such failure, automatically filter valid
settins before it is being uploaded by lvm2.
For invalid setting issue a warnning informing user how to remove
them.
This solution is used to keep running cached LVs that might had
been created in the past with invalid settings that have been actually
unused due to another code bug.
New versions of kvdo module exposes statistics at new location:
/sys/block/dm-XXX/vdo/statistics/...
Enhance lvm2 to access this location first.
Also if the statistic info is missing - make it 'debug' level info,
so it is not failing 'lvs' command.
Since VDO is always returns 'zero' on unprovisioned read
and every provisioned block is always 'zeroed' on partial writes,
we can avoid 'zeroing' of such LVs.
Some device id types can only be used with specific device major
numbers, so use this restriction to avoid some comparisions.
This is more efficient, and can avoid some incorrect matches.
pvid and vgid are sometimes a null-terminated string, and
other times a 'struct id', and the two types were often
cast between each other. When a struct id was cast to a char
pointer, the resulting string would not necessarily be null
terminated. Casting a null-terminated string id to a
struct id is fine, but is still avoided when possible.
A struct id is: int8_t uuid[ID_LEN]
A string id is: char pvid[ID_LEN + 1]
A convention is introduced to help distinguish them:
- variables and struct fields named "pvid" or "vgid"
should be null-terminated strings.
- variables and struct fields named "pv_id" or "vg_id"
should be struct id's.
- examples:
char pvid[ID_LEN + 1];
char vgid[ID_LEN + 1];
struct id pv_id;
struct id vg_id;
Function names also attempt to follow this convention.
Avoid casting between the two types as much as possible,
with limited exceptions when known to be safe and clearly
commented.
Avoid using variations of strcpy and strcmp, and instead
use memcpy/memcmp with ID_LEN (with similar limited
exceptions possible.)
When splitting VG with thin/cache pool volume, handle pmspare during
such split and allocate new pmspare in new VG or extend existing pmspare
there and eventually drop pmspare in original VG if is no longer needed
there.
When check active componet of thinLV with external origin,
we need to check if the external origin isn't already active.
For this however we need to use layered check for -real device.
sysfs-based multipath component detection quit if a
device had multiple holders, and in this case would
fail to detect a device was an mpath component.
For the pv_min_size check, always use dev_get_size()
which is commonly used elsewhere, and don't bother
asking libudev for the device size when
external_device_info_source=udev.
related to config settings:
obtain_device_info_from_udev (controls if lvm gets
a list of devices from readdir /dev or from libudev)
external_device_info_source (controls if lvm asks
libudev for device information)
. Make the obtain_device_list_from_udev setting
affect only the choice of readdir /dev vs libudev.
The setting no longer controls if udev is used for
device type checks.
. Change obtain_device_list_from_udev default to 0.
This helps avoid boot timeouts due to slow libudev
queries, avoids reported failures from
udev_enumerate_scan_devices, and avoids delays from
"device not initialized in udev database" errors.
Even without errors, for a system booting with 1024 PVs,
lvm2-pvscan times improve from about 100 sec to 15 sec,
and the pvscan command from about 64 sec to about 4 sec.
. For external_device_info_source="none", remove all
libudev device info queries, and use only lvm
native device info.
. For external_device_info_source="udev", first check
lvm native device info, then check libudev info.
. Remove sleep/retry loop when attempting libudev
queries for device info. udev info will simply
be skipped if it's not immediately available.
. Only set up a libdev connection if it will be used by
obtain_device_list_from_udev/external_device_info_source.
. For native multipath component detection, use
/etc/multipath/wwids. If a device has a wwid
matching an entry in the wwids file, then it's
considered a multipath component. This is
necessary to natively detect multipath
components when the mpath device is not set up.

"pvscan: skip indexing devices used by LVs"
The dev cache index is expensive and slow, so limit it
to commands that are used to observe the state of lvm.
The index is only used to print warnings about incorrect
device use by active LVs, e.g. if an LV is using a
multipath component device instead of the multipath
device. Commands that continue to use the index and
print the warnings:
fullreport, lvmdiskscan, vgs, lvs, pvs,
vgdisplay, lvdisplay, pvdisplay,
vgscan, lvscan, pvscan (excluding --cache)
A couple other commands were borrowing the DEV_USED_FOR_LV
flag to just check if a device was actively in use by LVs.
These are converted to the new dev_is_used_by_active_lv().
dev_cache_index_devs() is taking a large amount of time
when there are many PVs. The index keeps track of
devices that are currently in use by active LVs. This
info is used to print warnings for users in some limited
cases.
The checks/warnings that are enabled by the index are not
needed by pvscan --cache, so disable it in this case.
This may be expanded to other cases in future commits.
dev_cache_index_devs should also be improved in another
commit to avoid the extreme delays with many devices.
There have been two separate checks for metadata
validity: first that the metadata text begins with
a valid VG name, and second the checksum of the
metadata text. These happen in different places,
which means there have been two separate error paths
for invalid metadata. This also causes large metadata
to be read in multiple parts, the first part is read
just to check the vgname, and then remaining parts are
read later when the full metadata is needed.
This patch moves the vg name verification so it's
done just before the checksum verification, which
results in a single error path for invalid metadata,
and causes the entire metadata to be read together
rather that in parts from different parts of the code.
If label_scan encounters bad vg metadata, invalidate
bcache data for the device and reread the mda_header
and metadata text back to back. With concurrent commands
modifying large metadata, it's possible that the entire
metadata area can be rewritten in the time between a
command reading the mda_header and reading the metadata
text that the header points to. Since the label_scan
is just assembling an initial overview of devices, it
doesn't use locking to serialize with other commands
that may be modifying the vg metadata at the same time.
Add profilable configurable setting for vdo pool header size, that is
used as 'extra' empty space at the front and end of vdo-pool device
to avoid having a disk in the system the may have same data is real
vdo LV.
For some conversion cases however we may need to allow using '0' header size.
TODO: in this case we may eventually avoid adding 'linear' mapping layer
in future - but this requires further modification over lvm code base.
When adding a device to the devices file with --adddev, lvm
by default chooses the best device ID type for the new device.
The new --deviceidtype option allows the user to override the
built in preference. This is useful if there's a problem with
the default type, or if a secondary type is preferrable.
If the specified deviceidtype does not produce a device ID,
then lvm falls back to the preference it would otherwise use.
Previously there have been necessary explicit call of backup (often
either forgotten or over-used). With this patch the necessity to
store backup is remember at vg_commit and once the VG is unlocked,
the committed metadata are automatically store in backup file.
This may possibly alter some printed messages from command when the
backup is now taken later.
Instead of calling explicit archive with command processing logic,
move this step towards 1st. vg_write() call, which will automatically
store archive of committed metadata.
This slightly changes some error path where the error in archiving
was detected earlier in the command, while now some on going command
'actions' might have been, but will be simply scratched in case
of error (since even new metadata would not have been even written).
So general effect should be only some command message ordering.
For shared VG or LV locking, IDM locking scheme needs to use the PV
list assocated with VG or LV for sending SCSI commands, thus it requires
to use some places to generate PV list.
In reviewing the flow for LVM commands, the best place to generate PV
list is in the locking lib. So this is why this patch parses PV list as
shown. It iterates over all the PV nodes one by one, and compare with
the VG name or LV prefix string. If any PV matches, then the PV is
added into the PV list. Finally the PV list is sent to lvmlockd daemon.
Here as mentioned, it compares LV prefix string with the format
"lv_name_", the reason is it needs to find out all relevant PVs, e.g.
for the thin pool, it has LVs for metadata, pool, error, and raw LV, so
we can use the prefix string to find out all PVs belonging to the thin
pool.
For the global lock, it's not covered in this patch. To avoid the egg
and chicken issue, we need to prepare the global lock ahead before any
locking can be used. So the global lock's PV list is established in
lvmlockd daemon by iterating all drives with partition labeled with
"propeller".

We can consider the drive firmware a server to handle the locking
request from nodes, this essentially is a client-server model.
DLM uses the kernel as a central place to manage locks, so it also
complies with client-server model for locking operations. This is
why IDM and DLM are similar with each other for their wrappers.
This patch largely works by generalizing the DLM code paths and then
providing degeneralized functions as wrappers for both IDM and DLM.

error reading dev and no pvid on dev were both
returning 0. make it easier for callers to
know which, if they care.
return 1 if the device could be read, regardless
of whether a pvid was found or not.
set has_pvid=1 if a pvid is found and 0 if no
pvid is found.
This case happens when i.e. we convert LV to another type,
when we change existing LV into a different type - so change
to debug level and avoid confusing users with message about
Device path not match.
We may eventually enhnace caching code to drop cached info
after taking lock and reading VG.
With commit 0b18c25d93 there
was introduced 'zalloc()' for allocation of outdates pvs,
but no matching 'free()' is present.
Switch to use cmd mempool instead of adding free() code into
several places.
The autoactivation property can be specified in lvcreate
or vgcreate for new LVs/VGs, and the property can be changed
by lvchange or vgchange for existing LVs/VGs.
--setautoactivation y|n
enables|disables autoactivation of a VG or LV.
Autoactivation is enabled by default, which is consistent with
past behavior. The disabled state is stored as a new flag
in the VG metadata, and the absence of the flag allows
autoactivation.
If autoactivation is disabled for the VG, then no LVs in the VG
will be autoactivated (the LV autoactivation property will have
no effect.) When autoactivation is enabled for the VG, then
autoactivation can be controlled on individual LVs.
The state of this property can be reported for LVs/VGs using
the "-o autoactivation" option in lvs/vgs commands, which will
report "enabled", or "" for the disabled state.
Previous versions of lvm do not recognize this property. Since
autoactivation is enabled by default, the disabled setting will
have no effect in older lvm versions. If the VG is modified by
older lvm versions, the disabled state will also be dropped from
the metadata.
The autoactivation property is an alternative to using the lvm.conf
auto_activation_volume_list, which is still applied to to VGs/LVs
in addition to the new property.
If VG or LV autoactivation is disabled either in metadata or in
auto_activation_volume_list, it will not be autoactivated.
An autoactivation command will silently skip activating an LV
when the autoactivation property is disabled.
To determine the effective autoactivation behavior for a specific
LV, multiple settings would need to be checked:
the VG autoactivation property, the LV autoactivation property,
the auto_activation_volume_list. The "activation skip" property
would also be relevant, since it applies to both normal and auto
activation.
If we are signaled with SIGTERM it should be at least as good
as with SIGINT - as the command should stop ASAP.
So when lvm2 command allows signal handling we also
enable SIGTERM handling. If there are some other signals
we should handle equally - we could just extend array.
Not all libc (like musl, uclibc dietlibc) libraries support full symbol
version resolution in runtime like glibc.
Add support to not generate symbol versions when compiling against them.
Additionally libdevmapper.so was broken when compiled against
uclibc. Runtime linker loader caused calling dm_task_get_info_base()
function recursively, leading to segmentation fault.
Introduce --with-symvers=STYLE option, which allows to choose
between gnu and disabled symbol versioning. By default gnu symbol
versioning is used.
__GNUC__ check is replaced now with GNU_SYMVER.
Additionally ld version script is included only in
case of gnu option, which slightly reduces output size.
Providing --without-symvers to configure script when building against
uclibc library fixes segmentation fault error described above, due to
lack of several versions of the same symbol in libdevmapper.so
library.

Function is not having the best name since it does check
no just raid LVs to be in sync.
Restore the mirror percentage checking - although without retries,
since only raid target is currently known to need it - for other
types it would be ATM a bug to get inconsistent result.
Whiel waiting for raid to return consistent status,
use interruptible sleep - so command can break quickly.
Use lv_raid_status() to get percentage easily from status.
Enabled extension/mixing of stripes/linears, error and zero
segtype LVs with stripes/linear, error and zero segtypes.
It is not very useful in practice, as the user cannot store any real
data on error or zero segtypes, but it may get some uses in
some scenarios where i.e. some portion of the device should not be
readable. Mixing of types happens on 'extent_size' level:
lvcreate -L1 -n lv vg
lvextend --type error -L+1 vg/lv
lvextend --type zero -L+1 vg/lv
lvextend --type linear -L+1 vg/lv
lvextend --type striped -L+1 vg/lv
lvs -o+segtype,seg_size vg
Note: when the type is not specified, the last segment type is
automatically selected.
It's also a small 'can of worms' since we can't tell LVs if
the LV is linear/error/zero or their mixtures. So the meaning behind
them may need some updates.
We already have this types of LV created i.e by:
vgreduce --removemissing --force
where missing LV segments have been replaced by either
error or zero segtype (lvm.conf).
TODO: it might be worth adding a message while such device is activated.
Add some extra code to handle differently sized thin-pool
from thin-pool data volume.
ATM this can't really happen, but once we start to use multiple
commits while resizing stacked LV, we may actually get into
the position, where data LV has been already resized,
but thin-pool stayed with old size.
But for now - report difference as internal error.
Devices made only from 'error' target cannot be used,
but if the device is also combined from 'zero' target
the same rule can be applied as such device cannot be used.
Just like with other segtype use this function to get whole
raid status info available per a single ioctl call.
Also it nicely simplifies read of percentage info about
in_sync portion of raid volume.
TODO: drop use of other calls then lv_raid_status call,
since all such calls could already use status - so it just
adds unnecessary duplication.
Reduce ioctl count and avoid separate info check,
when we can get the same info from status ioctl.
When devmanager calls return 0, then the exists value 0
means the reason of failure is missing device in table.
In such case we avoid stack trace.
Swap the flush parameter for the vdo status function
to match thin pool status.
Reuse similar 'acceleration' as used for dependent volumes also
for snapshot - so when origin is being removed with all thick
snapshots, don't bother with individual 'COW' detachments
and write&commits, and when possible handle this all within
a single commit.
Move code for prompting about removed LV to a single function
and use it also to prompt for removal of origin and all its thick
snapshots and also when removing merging origin.
Function does handle postponed write_and_commit so there is
no 'in-flight' operation while waiting on [y|n] answer.
Compat code and handle unusual case, where
thin snapshot is also a 'thick snapshot origin' and such
snapshot gets merged into a thin origin.
However since now lv_is_visible() (which is complex function)
replaced &VISIBLE_LV check, the whole this check seems to be
no longer useful as sum of all 3 will always match??
Since cached LV is going to be removed together with its cache,
there is not much to gain if we try to flush cache first.
User may use 'vgcfgrestore' to get back origin + cache.
Assuming user is not using issue_discards.
When data are discarded after remove there is nothing to restore!
This change allows to futher reduce number of commits
during lvremove/vgremove.
When lvremove/vgremove removes thin volumes with its thin-pool as well,
try to skip any updates of such thin-pool, so when everything properly
deactivates, there is no message send to this thin-pool and whole
thin-pool is removed with a single commit.
Returning NULL for lv_committed is basically instant crash,
so instead try with passed LV instead.
It shouldn't matter as this is internall error path anyway,
but coverity should be happier.
Another step towards better automatic handling of backup,
and automatically setup needs_backup after commit.
In some next step we should reduce number of backups and takem
then only at the command finish with vg_committed content.
With commit b44db5d1a7
needs to check allocated pointer for failed malloc().
Existing check was actually no checking anything so failing
malloc here would result in segfault (although with very
low chance to ever happen).
Match VG uuid just once per list of all LVs in VG.
TODO: maybe some more efficeint tree or hash could be better here,
but since it's used not so often, the total benefit is not so great,
so ATM just reducing amount of checked bytes.
Use different 'hint' size for dm_hash_create() call - so
when debug info about hash is printed we can recognize which
hash was in use.
This patch doesn't change actual used size since that is always
rounded to be power of 2 and >=16 - so as such is only a
help to developer.
We could eventually use 'name' arg, but since this would have changed
API and this patchset will be routed to libdm & stable - we will
just use this small trick.
Just like with deactivation, call of 'lv_is_not_in_use()'
now has embeded report for inactivate LV.
Note: this patch cannot be backported to stable-2.02 - as
there lv_is_active() has 'cluster' meaning and differs from lvinfo().
When LV is deactivativate, we check for presence, and later
for some LV types also for being in use.
We can however do this check in 1 step for them a remove extra ioctl.
Add return value '2' to lv_check_not_in_use() to recognize LV is not
present.
Existing users were just testing for 0, so no change for them.
When parsing VG metadata we can create from a single config tree
also 'vg_committed' that is always created for writable VG.
This avoids extra uncessary step of serializing and deserilizing
just parsed VG.
Every vg_write stores new 'metadata' into precommitted slot.
For this step we use 'serialized buffer' to ascii metadata.
Instead of recreating this buffer after whole 'vg_write()' we
use this buffer instantly for creating of precommitted VG.
This has also the advantage of catching any problems with
reparsing of ascii metadata back to VG early before any write.
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'.
Make the generic "device is not usable" message from filter-usable
more specific in case the device is not usable because it's an LV.
(i.e. when scan_lvs=0)
When 'lv_info()' is called with &info structure,
the presence of node has to be checked from this structure.
Without this we were needlesly trying to look out 0:0 device.
When lvm2 calls archive() or backup() it can be useful to allow handling
break signal so the command can be interrupted at some consistent point.
Signal is accepted during processing these calls - and can be evaluated
later during even lengthy processing loops.
So now user can interrupt lengthy lvremove().
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.
Use 'C' for alphasort - there is no need to use localized and slower
sorting for internal directory scanning.
Ensure on all code paths allocated dirent entries are released.
Optimize full path construction.
Drop the comment "This setting is no longer used." which
was printed just before the standard deprecation comment:
"This configuration option is deprecated."
When lvmconfig --typeconfig full printed a deprecated
entry it would attempt to print a non-existing
deprecation comment resulting in output like:
# (null) # This setting is no longer used.
The LVM devices file lists devices that lvm can use. The default
file is /etc/lvm/devices/system.devices, and the lvmdevices(8)
command is used to add or remove device entries. If the file
does not exist, or if lvm.conf includes use_devicesfile=0, then
lvm will not use a devices file. When the devices file is in use,
the regex filter is not used, and the filter settings in lvm.conf
or on the command line are ignored.
LVM records devices in the devices file using hardware-specific
IDs, such as the WWID, and attempts to use subsystem-specific
IDs for virtual device types. These device IDs are also written
in the VG metadata. When no hardware or virtual ID is available,
lvm falls back using the unstable device name as the device ID.
When devnames are used, lvm performs extra scanning to find
devices if their devname changes, e.g. after reboot.
When proper device IDs are used, an lvm command will not look
at devices outside the devices file, but when devnames are used
as a fallback, lvm will scan devices outside the devices file
to locate PVs on renamed devices. A config setting
search_for_devnames can be used to control the scanning for
renamed devname entries.
Related to the devices file, the new command option
--devices <devnames> allows a list of devices to be specified for
the command to use, overriding the devices file. The listed
devices act as a sort of devices file in terms of limiting which
devices lvm will see and use. Devices that are not listed will
appear to be missing to the lvm command.
Multiple devices files can be kept in /etc/lvm/devices, which
allows lvm to be used with different sets of devices, e.g.
system devices do not need to be exposed to a specific application,
and the application can use lvm on its own set of devices that are
not exposed to the system. The option --devicesfile <filename> is
used to select the devices file to use with the command. Without
the option set, the default system devices file is used.
Setting --devicesfile "" causes lvm to not use a devices file.
An existing, empty devices file means lvm will see no devices.
The new command vgimportdevices adds PVs from a VG to the devices
file and updates the VG metadata to include the device IDs.
vgimportdevices -a will import all VGs into the system devices file.
LVM commands run by dmeventd not use a devices file by default,
and will look at all devices on the system. A devices file can
be created for dmeventd (/etc/lvm/devices/dmeventd.devices) If
this file exists, lvm commands run by dmeventd will use it.
Internal implementaion:
- device_ids_read - read the devices file
. add struct dev_use (du) to cmd->use_devices for each devices file entry
- dev_cache_scan - get /dev entries
. add struct device (dev) to dev_cache for each device on the system
- device_ids_match - match devices file entries to /dev entries
. match each du on cmd->use_devices to a dev in dev_cache, using device ID
. on match, set du->dev, dev->id, dev->flags MATCHED_USE_ID
- label_scan - read lvm headers and metadata from devices
. filters are applied, those that do not need data from the device
. filter-deviceid skips devs without MATCHED_USE_ID, i.e.
skips /dev entries that are not listed in the devices file
. read lvm label from dev
. filters are applied, those that use data from the device
. read lvm metadata from dev
. add info/vginfo structs for PVs/VGs (info is "lvmcache")
- device_ids_find_renamed_devs - handle devices with unstable devname ID
where devname changed
. this step only needed when devs do not have proper device IDs,
and their dev names change, e.g. after reboot sdb becomes sdc.
. detect incorrect match because PVID in the devices file entry
does not match the PVID found when the device was read above
. undo incorrect match between du and dev above
. search system devices for new location of PVID
. update devices file with new devnames for PVIDs on renamed devices
. label_scan the renamed devs
- continue with command processing
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.
When lvdisplay was executed and thin snaphost has be merged to
thin origin and the operation has been postponed till devices
are closed, command crashed.
Check LV is COW before trying to check snapshot percentage.
Fix clearing persistent filter state when clearing all
the state from a label_scan.
label_scan reads devs and saves info in bcache, lvmcache,
and in the persistent filter. In some uncommon cases, an
lvm command wants to clear all info from a prior label_scan,
and repeat label_scan from scratch. In these cases, info
in lvmcache, bcache and the persistent filter all need to
be cleared before repeating label_scan.
By missing the persistent filter wiping, outdated persistent
filter info, from a prior label_scan, could cause lvm to
incorrectly filter devices that change between polling intervals.
(i.e. if the device changes in such a way that the filtering
results change.)
A case where lvm wants to do multiple label_scans is a
polling command (like lvconvert --merge), when lvmpolld
has been disabled, so that the command itself needs to
to do repeated polling checks.
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.
Move extra md component detection into the label scan phase.
It had been in set_pv_devices which was deep within the vg_read
phase, which wasn't a good place (better to detect that earlier.)
Now that pv metadata info is available in the scan phase, the pv
details (size and device_hint) can be used for extra md checking.
Use the device_hint from the pv metadata to trigger a full md
component check if the device_hint begins with /dev/md.
Stop triggering full md component checks based on missing
udev info for a dev.
Changes to tests to reflect that the code is now detecting
md components in some test case that it wasn't before.
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.
When passing 'pvmove --name arg' try to automatically move
all associated dependencies with given LV.
i.e. 'pvmove --name thinpool vg vgnew'
moves all thins and data and metadata LV into a new VG vgnew.
Use update_pool_metadata_min_max() which is shared with
thin-pool metadata min-max updating.
Gives improved messages when converting volumes to metadata.
There is not much point to let allocate more then this size
even when i.e. converted LV is bigger then 16GiB (%extent_size)
ATM neither thin-pool nor cache-pool supports bigger metadata.
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.
When detaching writecache, make the first stage send a message
to dm-writecache to set the cleaner option. This is instead of
reloading the dm table with the cleaner option set. Reloading
the table causes udev to process/probe the dm dev, which gets
stalled because of the writeback activity, and the stalled udev
in turn stalls the lvconvert command when it tries to sync with
udev events.
When getting writecache status we do not need to get
open_count or read_head info, which can cause extra steps.
In case legs of a raid0 LV are removed, the lvdisplay command still
reports 'available' though raid0 is not providing any resilience
compared to the other raid levels.
Also lvdisplay does not display '(partial)' in case of missing raid0
legs as oposed to the lvs command.
Enhance lvdisplay to report "NOT available" for any RaidLV type in case
too many legs are inaccessible hence causing data loss. I.e. any leg
for raid0, all for raid1, more than 1 for raid4/5, more than 2 for raid6
and in case of completely lost mirror groups for raid10.
Add test/shell/lvdisplay-raid.sh.

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().
When adding replacement raid+integrity images (lvconvert --repair
after a raid image is lost), various errors can cause the function
to exit with an error. On this exit path, the function attempts
to revert new images that had been created but not yet used. The
cleanup failed to account for the fact that not all images needed
to be reverted.
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()
When a writecache sublv or an integrity metadata sublv
are partial (missing a dev), set the partial flag on
the upper level LV also, as is done for other sublvs.
When using cache with a cachevol, the cache_check tool was
not being run on the cache metadata during activation.
cache_check clears the needs_check flag in the cache
metadata, so if the flag was set due to an unclean
shutdown, the activation would fail.
Each integrity image in a raid LV reports its own number
of integrity mismatches, e.g.
lvs -o integritymismatches vg/lv_rimage_0
lvs -o integritymismatches vg/lv_rimage_1
In addition to this, allow the total number of integrity
mismatches from all images to be displayed for the raid LV.
lvs -o integritymismatches vg/lv
shows the number of mismatches from both lv_rimage_0 and
lv_rimage_1.
The args for pvcreate/pvremove (and vgcreate/vgextend
when applicable) were not efficiently opened, scanned,
and filtered. This change reorganizes the opening
and filtering in the following steps:
- label scan and filter all devs
. open ro
. standard label scan at the start of command
- label scan and filter dev args
. open ro
. uses full md component check
. typically the first scan and filter of pvcreate devs
- close and reopen dev args
. open rw and excl
- repeat label scan and filter dev args
. using reopened rw excl fd
- wipe and write new headers
. using reopened rw excl fd
In some cases the dev size may not have been read yet
in set_pv_devices(). In this case get the dev size
before comparing the dev size with the pv size.
To read the lvm headers and set dev->pvid if the
device is a PV. Difference from label_scan_ functions
is this does not read any vg metadata or add any info
to lvmcache.
Filtering in label_scan was controlled indirectly by
the fact that bcache was not yet set up when label_scan
first ran. The result is that filters that needed data
would not run and would return -EAGAIN, which would
result in the dev flag FILTER_AFTER_SCAN being set.
After the dev header was read for checking the label,
filters would be rechecked because of FILTER_AFTER_SCAN.
All filters would be checked this time because bcache
was now set up, and the filters needing data would
largely use data already scanned for reading the label.
This design worked but is hard to adjust for future
cases where bcache is already set up.
Replace this method (based on setting up bcache, or not)
with a new cmd flag filter_nodata_only. When this flag
is set filters that need data will not run. This allows
the same label_scan behavior when bcache has been set up.
There are no expected changes in behavior.
Touch of stack allocation validated given size with rlimit
and if the reserved_stack was above rlimit, its been completely
ignored - now we will always touch stack upto rlimit/2 size.
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)
Since lvm2 normally block signals during protected
phase where it does not want to be interrupted.
Support interruptible processing when allowed
in section between sigint_allow() ... sigint_restore())
and let the 'io_getenvents()' finish with EINTR.
When bcache tries to write data to a faulty device,
it may get out of caching blocks and then just busy-loops
on a CPU - so this check protects this by checking
if there is already max_io (~64) errored blocks.
Call _wait_all() which does check whether there is still
some pending IO before sleep. Otherwise it may happen
our submitted IO operations have been already dispatched
and this call then endlessly waits for IO which are all done.
This can be reproduced when device returns quickly errors
on write requests.
When detaching a writecache, use the cleaner setting
by default to writeback data prior to suspending the
lv to detach the writecache. This avoids potentially
blocking for a long period with the device suspended.
Detaching a writecache first sets the cleaner option, waits
for a short period of time (less than a second), and checks
if the writecache has quickly become clean. If so, the
writecache is detached immediately. This optimizes the case
where little writeback is needed.
If the writecache does not quickly become clean, then the
detach command leaves the writecache attached with the
cleaner option set. This leaves the LV in the same state
as if the user had set the cleaner option directly with
lvchange --cachesettings cleaner=1 LV.
After leaving the LV with the cleaner option set, the
detach command will wait and watch the writeback progress,
and will finally detach the writecache when the writeback
is finished. The detach command does not need to wait
during the writeback phase, and can be canceled, in which
case the LV will remain with the writecache attached and
the cleaner option set. When the user runs the detach
command again it will complete the detach.
To detach a writecache directly, without using the cleaner
step (which has been the approach previously), add the
option --cachesettings cleaner=0 to the detach command.
Since we detect already transaction if before starting
to build dm tree - this extra check is a duplicate
that would only capture very tiny 'race' and we later
validate transaction_id with suspended snapshot origin.
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.
LVM2 is distributed under GPLv2 only. The readline library changed its
license long ago to GPLv3. Given that those licenses are incompatible
and you follow the FSF in their interpretation that dynamically linking
creates a derivative work, distributing LVM2 linked against a current
readline version might be legally problematic.
Add support for the BSD licensed editline library as an alternative for
readline.

Cover the case where two copies of metadata have the
same seqno but different checksums. Also elaborate
on an existing fixme in the code for this case, since
we should be doing something better for this case.
This had been uncovering an issue with reopening
fds in readwrite mode.
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.
lvm opens devices readonly to scan them, but
needs to open then readwrite to update the metadata.
Previously, the ro fd was closed before the rw fd
was opened, leaving a small gap where the dev was
not held open, and during which the dev could
possibly change which storage it referred to.
With the bcache_change_fd() interface, lvm opens a
rw fd on a device to be written, tells bcache to
change to the new rw fd, and closes the ro fd.
. open dev ro
. read dev with the ro fd (label_scan)
. lock vg (ex for writing)
. open dev rw
. close ro fd
. rescan dev to check if the metadata changed
between the scan and the lock
. if the metadata did change, reread in full
. write the metadata
Add a "device index" (di) for each device, and use this
in the bcache api to the rest of lvm. This replaces the
file descriptor (fd) in the api. The rest of lvm uses
new functions bcache_set_fd(), bcache_clear_fd(), and
bcache_change_fd() to control which fd bcache uses for
io to a particular device.
. lvm opens a dev and gets and fd.
fd = open(dev);
. lvm passes fd to the bcache layer and gets a di
to use in the bcache api for the dev.
di = bcache_set_fd(fd);
. lvm uses bcache functions, passing di for the dev.
bcache_write_bytes(di, ...), etc.
. bcache translates di to fd to do io.
. lvm closes the device and clears the di/fd bcache state.
close(fd);
bcache_clear_fd(di);
In the bcache layer, a di-to-fd translation table
(int *_fd_table) is added. When bcache needs to
perform io on a di, it uses _fd_table[di].
In the following commit, lvm will make use of the new
bcache_change_fd() function to change the fd that
bcache uses for the dev, without dropping cached blocks.
During removal of a lot of locking code the signal blocking got lost
and signal processing got broken leading to unpredictable
behavior of i.e. activation code the can get interrupted in the
middle of DM table processing.
lvm2 code always expects signals are blocked while lock is held
unless it is explictelly placed into section of:
sigint_allow();....;sigint_restore();
For checking catched interrupt there is sigint_catched();
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.

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().
