Document usage of chaining external origins as it is now possibly to
create thinA LV in poolA which use thinB LV in poolB as it external
origin and user could create chain of such LV.
When using swap_lv_identifiers() we were basiclly exchanging 'names'
and only according to the caller some more data were 'transfered'.
However in most cases we should swap properties like 'hostname' as
the creation information should be preserved.
So let's do the function more universal.
Improve support for building DM tree when there is a chain
of external origins used for LV.
For this we cannot use track_external_lv_deps as this works
only for LV with just one external origin in its device tree.
Instead add directly 'dev' to the instead of add whole LV.
This avoid possibly recurive endless loop, however we may eventally
have some problems with undiscovered/missing devices in DM tree.
When we have some existing LV and this LV is being converted to
external origin - during the DM table manipulation there is a short
moment when the LV is being 'resumed' as 'read-only' volume
while still being live as 'rw' volume i.e. we could have had
a single thin LV active twice.
To avoid such weird scenarios of dual access to a same volume, we
just postpone a resume until a moment, where the existing volume
is already suspended thus no I/O can be in flight to such device.
Note: however there is slight catch - that we now have basically
a different 'risk' case where a resume of such i.e. new external
origin LV might fail and we are already in suspend tree state -
resolving error path in this situation is untrivial as well...
Fix/support creation and usage of the external origin
across thin-pools - so thin LV can use thin LV from
some other thin-pool as external origin (read-only).
When creating external origin via 'lvcreate --type thin'
add the validation for LV being usable as external origin
since certain LVs cannot be really used this way.
Also call this function early during lvcreate cmdline arg
validation se we do not need to do unecesary operation.
Over the time the code for preloading detached LVs got unnecessarily
complicate. But actually we need to preload only LVs that
were previously non-toplevel (invisible) LVs and became visible
toplevel LVs in the precommitted metadata.
If there would be needed some other rule, it would likely be a bug in
conversion code forgetting to set visibility flag on detached LV.
This reduces number of unnecessary repeated DM tree preloading.
When building in other dir, ensure srcdir is used to find helper
script (via vpath) through $< usage.
Add also missing [INSTALL] prints for some installed files.
External origins for thin volumes can be also used at the same time
as old(thick) snapshot origins. However in this case it's possible
the LV is only active as being 'external' origin, but old snapshot LVs
are not active. For this case before handling these
LVs for un/monitoring check the active state of origin LV.
This should prevent warnings of monitoring failures.
Make recursive directory path creation reusable via
dir_create_recursive.
While we already have dm_create_dir() - it's not taking mode arg,
so let's make lvm's internal file helper function.
Instead of parsing the whole /proc/kallsyms use faster variant
of using modprobe tool logic.
lvm2 here wants to know whether the particular DM cache policy is
present in the kernel - however since the cache policy does not have
any kernel module parameters and it can be built-in to a kernel
there is no /sys/modules directory in such case and we would need to call
modprobe everytime we want detect such case.
The old solution tried to look for particular kernel symbol
(and like not the right way, as smq_exit might be actually ommitted).
New version checks MODULES_PATH/`uname -r`/modules.builtin for
whether is present cache policy module instead of CPU expensive parsing
of kallsyms.
If lvm.conf has use_devicesfile=0 and /etc/lvm/device/system.devices
exists, then rename it to system.devices-unused.YYYYMMDD.HHMMSS.
This prevents an old, incorrect system.devices from being used in
the future if lvm.conf is changed to use_devicesfile=1.
Create backup copies of system.devices in /etc/lvm/devices/backup
named system.devices-YYYYMMDD.HHMMSS.NNNN. NNNN is the version
counter from the file.
Each time that an lvm command writes a new system.devices file,
it also writes the same file in the backup directory.
A new comment line is added to system.devices with HASH=<num>
where <num> is a crc calculated from the uncommented lines in
system.devices. This lets lvm detect if the file has been
modified outside of lvm itself.
If system.devices is edited directly, the next time a command
reads the file, the crc will not match the HASH value. The
command will then rewrite system.devices with the correct HASH
value, and create a backup reflecting the edits.
A default limit of 50 backup files is kept, configurable by
lvm.conf devicesfile_backup_limit (set to 0 to disable backups.)
If LVM LVs happen to contain PVs, they are passed to the lvm udev
rule for processing, where they should be ignored. PVs on LVs
most likely belong to VM images, and don't belong to the host
which sees the LV. It's unsafe for the host to use these PVs.
Without this change, the LV would be processed by pvscan which
would generally ignore it, either because of the devices file,
or because of the default lvm policy to not consider LVs as
potential PVs. This change makes the udev rule consistent
with that policy and avoids the unnecessary system messages
produced when pvscan ignores the LV.
Since understanding the reason for choosing the appmachineid over the
direct use of machineid is not easily found, I extended to help text to
clarify this a bit.
Function to recalc chunk_size according to dev hints needs to be
used after chunk_size is being set to thin pool segment - correct
this ordering mistake introduced in previous refactoring commit.
Previous patch that introduced support for thinpool with vdo
not correctly handled header size - as this part is not fully usable
yet. We are going to try to use the 0, but current state of code is not
yet compliant to this logic so keep vdo_header_size during conversion
and alos correctly pass through virtual_extents to vdo formating.
Add code to handle creation of thin-pool with VDO data backend
which can be seen as compressed deduplicated thin-pool.
To avoid need of changing to many internal APIs, pass the conversion
parameters for create thin-pool data volume via cmd_context.
Introduce struct vdo_convert_params {} to pass-in all the parameters
needed for the conversion of an LV to a vdopool + vdo LV.
Function convert_vdo_lv() is also able to create a new LV and swap
segments, so the passed in LV can be later on use for futher
conversion so this refactoring makes it ready for more enhanced
usage.
Introduce vdo_convert_params and use vdo_params from this structure
also with lvcreate_params.
Later we will use this for convertion of thin-pool data volume to VDO.
