There were several hard-coded values for run directory around the code.
Also, some tools are DM specific only, others are LVM specific and there
was no distinction made here before. With this patch applied, we have
this cleaned up a bit (subsystem in brackets, defaults in parentheses):
[common] configurable PID_DIR (/var/run)
lvm [lvm] configurable RUN_DIR (/var/run/lvm)
configurable locking dir (/var/lock/lvm)
clvmd [lvm] configurable pid file (PID_DIR/clvmd.pid)
socket (RUN_DIR/clvmd.sock)
lvmetad [lvm] configurable pid file (PID_DIR/lvmetad.pid)
socket (RUN_DIR/lvmetad.socket)
dm [dm] configurable DM_RUN_DIR (/var/run)
cmirrord [dm] configurable pid file (PID_DIR/cmirrord.pid)
dmeventd [dm] configurable pid file (PID_DIR/dmeventd.pid)
server fifo (DM_RUN_DIR/dmeventd-server)
client fifo (DM_RUN_DIR/dmeventd-client)
The changes briefly:
- added configure --with-default-pid-dir
- added configure --with-default-dm-run-dir
- added configure --with-lvmetad-pidfile
- by default, using one common pid directory for everything
(only lvmetad was not following this before)
Add 3rd daemon return state "unknown" for lookups that are carried out
successfully but don't find the item requested.
Avoid issuing error messages when it's expected that a device that's
being looked up in lvmetad might not be there.
Code cannot proceed if oldname would be NULL.
Since lvmetad currently doesn't use logging mechanism of lvm to report
internal errors - stay with current code style of lvmetad which uses
plain asserts for cases like this.
config tree per PV which is mostly provided by the client, so it can be used to
keep track of things like label_sector, PV format, mda count / offsets and so
on.
- rename the hashes to be explicit about the mapping
- add VG/PV listing calls to the protocol
- cache slightly more of the per-PV state
- filter cached metadata
- compare the metadata upon metadata_update
used to be a few mis-ordered memory accesses (release and access in the next
block). Fix that set_flag could have sometimes corrupted the flags being
modified.
A few issues with metadata tracking are sorted out as well now, and there are
only a few problems remaining before we can integrate lvmetad, mostly on the
client side:
- metadata areas need to be tracked in lvmetad (most likely to be addressed
through an extension of metadata, meaning no special support in lvmetad would
be needed)
- non-udev scanning code needs to be taught about telling lvmetad about device
disappearance (pvscan most importantly)
- this last item also needs to mesh with metadata inconsistencies and
suddenly-incomplete volume groups (aux disable_dev in tests); udev-based
scanning should address this separately and more elegantly
Next iteration for better fit of lvmetad compilation.
Move build of libdaemon.a into common subdir Makefile.
libdaemon.a is device-mapper target.
Build and install lvmetad as lvm2 target.
daemon/common code in a single libdaemon.a, which is completely private. This
is currently linked into the lvmetad binary, and will be linked into LVM (the
client part, since static linking only picks up only symbols that are actually
used). I have also added --enable/disable-lvmetad to ./configure; although the
current default is off, I expect this to be flipped to on shortly. There's no
LVM-side support yet, but when there is, even when built, it'll still need to
be enabled by an lvm.conf option.
very reasonable amount of parallel access, although the hash tables may become
a point of contention under heavy loads. Nevertheless, there should be orders
of magnitude less contention on the hash table locks than we currently have on
block device scanning.
