When lvm2 command works with clvmd and uses locking in wrong way,
it may 'leak' certain file descriptors in opened (incorrect) state.
dev_cache_exit then destroys memory pool of cached devices, while
_open_devices list in dev-io.c was still referencing them if they
were still opened.
Patch properly calls _close() function to 'self-heal' from this
invalid state, but it will report internal error (so execution
with abort_on_internal_error causes immediate death). On the
normal 'execution', error is only reported, but memory state is
corrected, and linked list is not referencing devices from
released mempool.
For crash see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1073886
Before:
thin_disabled_features = ""
Now:
thin_disabled_features = []
Which is a more correct and consistent way of specifying void array
though parses can handle both forms.
Smallest supported size for swap device is 40KB, however current
test skipped devices smaller then 4096 sectors (2MB).
Since page is in bytes, convert it to sectors before comparing
with device size (in sectors).
When daemon releases memory and it is still in critical
section, issue an error message and drop memory.
We cannot do anything better for now and we at least
release allocated resource.
FIXME:
This code is triggered when i.e. clvmd is killed while
some LVs are suspend - in this case suspended devices leak,
so if this happens during i.e. clvmd upgrade we have
unresolved problem - even locked rootfs...
This function is typically called for cmd context refresh or destroy.
On the non-clustered case we already unlocked all messages,
however when i.e. 'clvmd' gets break signal it may have
still couple messages queued.
For now just report an error.
Recent debug tracing commit introduce read of uninitialized memory,
since VGID is not really a proper string which ends with '\0'.
Enforce at most 32 (ID_LEN) chars are read from vgid.
(in release fix)
Since commit f12ee43f2e call destroy,
it start to check all VGs are unlocked. However when we become_daemon,
we simply reset locking (since lock is still kept by parent process).
So implement a simple 'reset' flag.
Instead of sending repeatedly LOCAL_SYNC commands to clvmds
like 'lvs', rememeber the last sent commmand, and if there was no other
clvmd command, drop this redundant SYNC call message.
The problem has started with commit:
56cab8cc03
This introduced correct synchronisation of name, when user requests to know
open_count (needs to wait for udev), however it is also executed for
read-only cases like 'lvs' command.
For now implement very simple solution, which is only monitoring
outgoing clvmd command, and when sequence of LOCAL sync names are
recognized, they are skipped automatically.
TODO:
Future solution might move this variable info 'cmd_context' and
use 'needs_sync' flag also i.e. in file locking code.
When the backup is disabled, avoid testing backup presence.
This only leads to errors being logged in debug trace and the missing
backup can't be fixed, since it's disabled.
Decorate NULL returns with debug_cache output so the
debug log doesn't contain spurios <bactrace> line without
any reason for it.
Add internal errors when cache is misused.
The global/suffix was missing from example lvm.conf but it can
be very useful when using lvm in scripts and now in profiles as well
Let's expose it more.
Create a separate function to validation snapshot min chunk value
and relocate code into snapshot_manip file.
This function will be shared with lvconvert then.
Users can create several profiles for how the tools report
the output very easily and then just use
<lvm reporting command> --profile <report_profile_name>
This prevents numerous VG refreshes on each "pvscan --cache -aay" call
if the VG is found complete. We need to issue the refresh only if the PV:
- is new
- was gone before and now it reappears (device "unplug/plug back" scenario)
- the metadata has changed
Reorder detection for internal device - since this test
is much simpler then target analysis, check it sooner.
Replace test for '68' with sizeof & ID_LEN
Add FIXME about device alias problem with is_reserved_lvname,
since this test fails on devices like /dev/dm-X
so we need to convert tests to UUID.
Let's do this the other way round - this makes more logic than commit b995f06.
So let's allow empty values for global/thin_disabled_features where
such an empty value now means "none of this features are disabled".
The global/thin_disabled_features should be marked as having no default
value. Otherwise the output from 'lvm dumpconfig --type default' would
have 'thin_disabled_features=""' which will produce an error message
'Ignoring empty string in config file ...' if such output is feed
back to lvm.
Even though we make pool volume as a public visible LV,
we still do not want tools to look at this volume.
While we do not create /dev/vg/lv link, device is still
accessible via /dev/mapper/vg-lv and there is no easy
way to recognize it's private without lvm2 metadata.
Enhance UUID with -pool suffix and directly skip
any LV with a suffix in device_is_usable() call.
TODO: enhance other targets with this logic.
blkid may probably use same simple logic.
When we create thin-pool we have used trick to keep
volume active, but since we now support TEMPORARY flag,
we could just localy active & deactive metadata LV,
and let the thinpool through normal activation process.
The empty pool is also the pool which has yet queued list of messages
and transaction_id == 1.
Problem is exposed when pool is created inactive.
lvcreate -L10 -T vg/pool -an
lvcreate -V10 -T vg/pool
When pool_has_message() is queried with NULL lv and 0 device_id
it should just return 'true' when there is any message queued.
So it needs to return negative value dm_list_empty().
Since there is no user for this code path in code currently,
this bug has not been triggered.
We can't use mempool for temporary variable for configuration path inside
find_config_tree_* functions since these functions can use the mempool
themselves deeper in the code and we can free mempool chunks only from
top to bottom which is not the case here (some default string
configuration values can be allocated from the mempool).
The same as for allocation/thin_pool_chunk_size - the default value
used is just a starting point. The calculation continues using the
properties of the devices actually used.
The allocation/thin_pool_chunk_size is a bit more complex. It's default
value is evaluated in runtime based on selected thin_pool_chunk_size_policy.
But the value is just a starting point. The calculation then continues
with dependency on the properties of the devices used. Which means for
such a default value, we know only the starting value.
If the config setting is defined as having no default value, but it's
still not NULL, it means such a value acts as a *hint* only
(e.g. a starting value from which the default value is calculated).
The new "cfg_def_get_default_value_hint" will always return the value
as defined in config_settings.h.
The original "cfg_def_get_default_value" will always return 0/NULL if
the config setting is defined with CFG_DEFAULT_UNDEFINED flag (hence
ignoring the hint).
This is needed for proper distiction between a correct default value
and the value which is just a hint or a starting point in calculation,
but it's not the final value (yes, we do have such settings!).
The devices/cache and devices/cache_dir are evaluated in runtime this way:
- if devices/cache is set, use it
- if devices_cache/dir or devices/cache_file_prefix is set, make up a
path out of that for devices/cache in runtime, taking into account
the LVM_SYSTEM_DIR environment variable if set
- otherwise make up the path out of default which is:
<LVM_SYSTEM_DIR>/<cache_dir>/<cache_file_prefix>.cache
With the runtime defaults, we can encode this easily now. Also, the lvm
dumpconfig can show proper and exact information about this setting then
(the variant that shows default values).
Previously, we declared a default value as undefined ("NULL") for
settings which require runtime context to be set first (e.g. settings
for paths that rely on SYSTEM_DIR environment variable or they depend
on any other setting in some way).
If we want to output default values as they are really used in runtime,
we should make it possible to define a default value as function which
is evaluated, not just providing a firm constant value as it was before.
This patch defines simple prototypes for such functions. Also, there's
new helper macros "cfg_runtime" and "cfg_array_runtime" - they provide
exactly the same functionality as the original "cfg" and "cfg_array"
macros when defining the configuration settings in config_settings.h,
but they don't set the constant default value. Instead, they automatically
link the configuration setting definition with one of these functions:
typedef int (*t_fn_CFG_TYPE_BOOL) (struct cmd_context *cmd, struct profile *profile);
typedef int (*t_fn_CFG_TYPE_INT) (struct cmd_context *cmd, struct profile *profile);
typedef float (*t_fn_CFG_TYPE_FLOAT) (struct cmd_context *cmd, struct profile *profile);
typedef const char* (*t_fn_CFG_TYPE_STRING) (struct cmd_context *cmd, struct profile *profile);
typedef const char* (*t_fn_CFG_TYPE_ARRAY) (struct cmd_context *cmd, struct profile *profile);
(The new macros actually set the CFG_DEFAULT_RUNTIME flag properly and
set the default value link to the function accordingly).
Then such configuration setting requires a function of selected type to
be defined. This function has a predefined name:
get_default_<id>
...where the <id> is the id of the setting as defined in
config_settings.h. For example "backup_archive_dir_CFG" if defined
as a setting with default value evaluated in runtime with "cfg_runtime"
will automatically have "get_default_backup_archive_dir_CFG" function
linked to this setting to get the default value.
Using mempool is much safer than using the global static variable.
The global variable would be rewritten on each find_config_tree_* call
and we need to be very careful not to get into this problem (we don't
do now, but we can with the patches for "runtime defaults" that will follow).
These settings don't have any default value predefined:
log/file
log/activate_file
global/library_dir
This settings has default value but not yet declared in config_settings.h:
global/locking_library (default is DEFAULT_LOCKING_LIB)
This is probably not optimal, but makes the lvmetad case mimic non-lvmetad code
more closely. It also fixes vgremove of a partially corrupt VG with lvmetad, as
_vg_write_raw (and consequently, entire vg_write) currently panics when it
encounters a corrupt MDA. Ideally, we'd be able to explicitly control when it is
safe to ignore them.
Move flags for segments to segtype header where it seems more closely
related as the features are related to segtype and not activation.
Use unsigned #define - since it's more common in lvm2 source code
for bit flags.
Condition was swapped - however since it's been based on 'random'
memory content it's been missed as attribute has not been set.
So now we have quite a few possible results when testing.
We have old status without separate metadata and
we have kernels with fixed snapshot leak bug.
(in-release update)
Code uses target driver version for better estimation of
max size of COW device for snapshot.
The bug can be tested with this script:
VG=vg1
lvremove -f $VG/origin
set -e
lvcreate -L 2143289344b -n origin $VG
lvcreate -n snap -c 8k -L 2304M -s $VG/origin
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/$VG/snap bs=1M count=2044 oflag=direct
The bug happens when these two conditions are met
* origin size is divisible by (chunk_size/16) - so that the last
metadata area is filled completely
* the miscalculated snapshot metadata size is divisible by extent size -
so that there is no padding to extent boundary which would otherwise
save us

While stripe size is twice the physical extent size,
the original code will not reduce stripe size to maximum
(physical extent size).

To make "lvm dumpconfig --type default" output to be usable like any
other config, we need to comment out lines that have no default value
defined. Otherwise, we'd have the output with config options
with blank or zero values which is not the same as when the value
is not defined! And such configuration can't be feed into lvm again
without further edits. So let's fix this.
Currently this covers these configuration options exactly:
devices/loopfiles
devices/preferred_names
devices/filter
devices/global_filter
devices/types
allocation/cling_tag_list
global/format_libraries
global/segment_libraries
activation/volume_list
activation/auto_activation_volume_list
activation/read_only_volume_list
activation/mlock_filter
metadata/dirs
metadata/disk_areas
metadata/disk_areas/<disk_area>
metadata/disk_areas/<disk_area>/start_sector
metadata/disk_areas/<disk_area>/size
metadata/disk_areas/<disk_area>/id
tags/<tag>
tags/<tag>/host_list
Start to convert percentage size handling in lvresize to the new
standard. Note in the man pages that this code is incomplete.
Fix a regression in non-percentage allocation in my last check in.
This is what I am aiming for:
-l<extents>
-l<percent> LV/ORIGIN
sets or changes the LV size based on the specified quantity
of logical logical extents (that might be backed by
a higher number of physical extents)
-l<percent> PVS/VG/FREE
sets or changes the LV size so as to allocate or free the
desired quantity of physical extents (that might amount to a
lower number of logical extents for the LV concerned)
-l+50%FREE - Use up half the remaining free space in the VG when
carrying out this operation.
-l50%VG - After this operation, this LV should be using up half the
space in the VG.
-l200%LV - Double the logical size of this LV.
-l+100%LV - Double the logical size of this LV.
-l-50%LV - Reduce the logical size of this LV by half.
Reorder detection of cmirrord. Now if cmirrord is not
running, target will not try to load kernel log module,
for communication with cmirrord.
Whole check for attrs now also happens just once.
Test raid10 availability as a target feature (instead of doing
it in all the places where raid10 should be checked).
TODO: activation needs runtime validation - so metadata with raid10
are skipped from activation in user-friendly way in lvm2.
Parsing vg structure during supend/commit/resume may require a lot of
memory - so move this into vg_write.
FIXME: there are now multiple cache layers which our doing some thing
multiple times at different levels. Moreover there is now different
caching path with and without lvmetad - this should be unified
and both path should use same mechanism.
Several fixes for the recent changes that treat allocation percentages
as upper limits.
Improve messages to make it easier to see what is happening.
Fix some cases that failed with errors when they didn't need to.
Fix crashes when first_seg() returns NULL.
Remove a couple of log_errors that were actually debugging messages.
Remove 'skip' argument passed into the function.
We always used '0' - as this is the only supported
option (-K) and there is no complementary option.
Also add some testing for behaviour of skipping.
Avoid introducing libdm structure allocated in library user.
Use direct call with all currently supported args.
When new arg is added, new function will cover it.
When an origin exists and the 'lvcreate' command is used to create
a cache pool + cache LV, the table is loaded into the kernel but
never instantiated (suspend/resume was never called). A user running
LVM commands would never know that the kernel did not have the
proper state unless they also ran the dmsetup 'table/status' command.
The solution is to suspend/resume the cache LV to make the loaded
tables become active.
Introduce a new parameter called "approx_alloc" that is set when the
desired size of a new LV is specified in percentage terms. If set,
the allocation code tries to get as much space as it can but does not
fail if can at least get some.
One of the practical implications is that users can now specify 100%FREE
when creating RAID LVs, like this:
~> lvcreate --type raid5 -i 2 -l 100%FREE -n lv vg
Update the man page so the user knows that dm-cache 1.3.0 module
is needed. Also, enforce that in the code and print a warning if
the module is not new enough.
Users now have the ability to convert their existing logical volumes
into cached logical volumes. A cache pool LV must be specified using
the '--cachepool' argument. The cachepool is the small, fast LV used
to cache the large, slow LV that is being converted.
lv_active_change will enforce proper activation.
Modification of activation was wrong and lead to misuse of
autoactivation. Fix allows to use proper local exclusive activation,
while the removed code turned this into just exclusive
activation (losing required local property).
The libblkid can detect DM_snapshot_cow signature and when creating
new LVs with blkid wiping used (allocation/use_blkid_wiping=1 lvm.conf
setting and --wipe y used at the same time - which it is by default).
Do not issue any prompts about this signature when new LV is created
and just wipe it right away without asking questions. Still keep the
log in verbose mode though.
gcc reports:
metadata/merge.c:229:58: warning: suggest parentheses around '&&' within '||' [-Wparentheses]
metadata/merge.c:232:58: warning: suggest parentheses around '&&' within '||' [-Wparentheses]
This patch allows users to create cache LVs with 'lvcreate'. An origin
or a cache pool LV must be created first. Then, while supplying the
origin or cache pool to the lvcreate command, the cache can be created.
Ex1:
Here the cache pool is created first, followed by the origin which will
be cached.
~> lvcreate --type cache_pool -L 500M -n cachepool vg /dev/small_n_fast
~> lvcreate --type cache -L 1G -n lv vg/cachepool /dev/large_n_slow
Ex2:
Here the origin is created first, followed by the cache pool - allowing
a cache LV to be created covering the origin.
~> lvcreate -L 1G -n lv vg /dev/large_n_slow
~> lvcreate --type cache -L 500M -n cachepool vg/lv /dev/small_n_fast
The code determines which type of LV was supplied (cache pool or origin)
by checking its type. It ensures the right argument was given by ensuring
that the origin is larger than the cache pool.
If the user wants to remove just the cache for an LV. They specify
the LV's associated cache pool when removing:
~> lvremove vg/cachepool
If the user wishes to remove the origin, but leave the cachepool to be
used for another LV, they specify the cache LV.
~> lvremove vg/lv
In order to remove it all, specify both LVs.
This patch also includes tests to create and remove cache pools and
cache LVs.
This patch allows the creation and removal of cache pools. Users are not
yet able to create cache LVs. They are only able to define the space used
for the cache and its characteristics (chunk_size and cache mode ATM) by
creating the cache pool.
A cache LV - from LVM's perpective - is a user accessible device that
links the cachepool LV and the origin LV. The following functions
were added to facilitate the creation and removal of this top-level
LV:
1) 'lv_cache_create' - takes a cachepool and an origin device and links
them into a new top-level LV of 'cache' segment type. No allocation
is necessary in this function, as the sub-LVs contain all of the
necessary allocated space. Only the top-level layer needs to be
created.
2) 'lv_cache_remove' - this function removes the top-level LV of a
cache LV - promoting the cachepool and origin sub-LVs to top-level
devices and leaving them exposed to the user. That is, the
cachepool is unlinked and free to be used with another origin to
form a new cache LV; and the origin is no longer cached.
(Currently, if the cache needs to be flushed, it is done in this
function and the function waits for it to complete before proceeding.
This will be taken out in a future patch in favor of polling.)
Cache pools require a data and metadata area (like thin pools). Unlike
thin pool, if 'cache_pool_metadata_require_separate_pvs' is not set to
'1', the metadata and data area will be allocated from the same device.
It is also done in a manner similar to RAID, where a single chunk of
space is allocated and then split to form the metadata and data device -
ensuring that they are together.
Building on the new DM function that parses DM cache status, we
introduce the following LVM level functions to aquire information
about cache devices:
- lv_cache_block_info: retrieves information on the cache's block/chunk usage
- lv_cache_policy_info: retrieves information on the cache's policy
I am reverting the commit below - removing the new 'dm_config_get_int'
function and simply calling 'dm_config_get_uint32' while casting the
'int *' pointer parameter.

Misc: New function for reading lvm config file fields
Introduce 'dm_config_get_int', which will be used by the upcoming
cachepool segment type.
Avoid use of external origin with size unaligned/incompatible with
thin pool chunk size, since the last chunk is not correctly provisioned
when it is overwritten.
Since we are currently incapable of providing zeroes for
reextended thin volume area, let's disable extension of
such already reduce thin volumes.
(in-release change)
This patch adds the cache segment type - the second of two necessary
to create cache logical volumes. This segment type references the
cachepool (the small fast device) and the origin (the large slow device);
linking them to create the cache device. The cache device is the
hierarchical device-mapper device that the user ulitmately makes use
of.
The cache segment sources the information necessary to construct the
device-mapper cache target from the origin and cachepool segments to
which it links.
This patch adds the new cachepool segment type - the first of two
necessary to eventually create 'cache' logical volumes. In addition
to the new segment type, updates to makefiles, configure files, the
lv_segment struct, and some necessary libdevmapper flags.
The cachepool is the LV and corresponding segment type that will hold
all information pertinent to the cache itself - it's size, cachemode,
cache policy, core arguments (like migration_threshold), etc.
When lvm2 command forks, it calls reset_locking(),
which as an unwanted side effect unlinked lock file from filesystem.
Patch changes the behavior to just close locked file descriptor
in children - so the lock is being still properly hold in the parent.
Test LVM_LVMETAD_PIDFILE for pid for lvm command.
Fix WHATS_NEW envvar name usage
Fix init order in prepare_lvmetad to respect set vars
and avoid clash with system settings.
Update test to really test the 'is running' message.
Comparing for available feature missed the code path, when
maj is already bigger.
The bug would be only hit in the case, thin pool target would have
increased major version.
When thin volume is using external origin, current thin target
is not able to supply 'extended' size with empty pages.
lvm2 detects version and disables extension of LV past the external
origin size in this case.
Thin LV could be however still reduced and extended freely bellow
this size.
In preparation for other segment types that create and use "pools", we
s/create_thin_pool/create_pool/. This way it is not awkward when creating
a cachepool, for example, to use "create_thin_pool".
Functions that handle set-up, tear-down and creation of thin pool
volumes will be more generally applicable when more targets exist
that make use of device-mapper's persistent data format. One of
these targets is the dm-cache target. I've selected some functions
that will be useful for the cache segment type to be moved, since
they will no longer be thin pool specific but are more broadly
useful to any segment type that makes use of a 'pool' LV.
We need both offset and length when trying to wipe detected signatures.
The libblkid can fail so it's good to have an error message issued for
this state instead of being silent (libblkid does not issue any error
messages here). We just issued "stack" here before but that was not
quite useful if some error occurs...
Only flag thin LV for no scanning in udev if this LV is about
to be wiped. This happens only in case the thin LV's pool was not
created with zeroing of the new blocks enabled.
The size of any metadata must be ignored when calculating the size of an
orphan PV.
Bug introduced by 603b45e0ed ("pvresize: Do
not use pv_read (get the PV from orphan VG).")
Block creations of archive and backup files for internal orphan VGs.
Bug introduced by 603b45e0ed ("pvresize: Do
not use pv_read (get the PV from orphan VG).")
DO NOT USE LVMETAD IF YOU HAVE ANY LVM1-FORMATTED PVS.
You may continue to use it without lvmetad, but do please schedule
an upgrade to the lvm2 format (with 'vgconvert').
Sending the original LVM1 formatted metadata to lvmetad is breaking
assumptions made by the code, so I am marking the format as obsolete for
now and no longer sending it to lvmetad.
This means that if you are using lvmetad, lvm1 volumes will usually
appear invisible - though not always: it depends on exactly what
sequence of commands you run!
The current situation is not satisfactory.
We'll either fix lvmetad and reenable this or we'll fix the code to
issue appropriate warning messages when lvm1 PVs are encountered
to avoid accidents.
(The latest unfixed problem is that lvmetad assumes metadata sequence
numbers exist and always increase - but the lvm1 format does not define
or store any sequence number, confusing both the daemon and client
when default values get passed to-and-fro.)
Several fields used to display 0 if undefined. Recent changes
to the way the fields are reported threw away some tests for
valid pointers, leading to segfaults with 'pvs -o all'.
Reinstate the original behaviour.
If a PV in an existing VG becomes orphaned (with 'pvcreate -ff', for
example) the VG struct cached against its vginfo must be invalidated.
This is because the struct device it references no longer contains
the PV label so becomes incorrect.
This triggers the error:
Internal error: PV $dev unexpectedly not in cache.
when the PV from the cached VG metadata is subsequently looked up
in the cache.

Make this code a bit more readable for Coverity as otherwise
it marks the "type" variable in the "_thin_pool_add_message" fn
as undefined for certain path (...which is normally unreachable anyway,
but let's clean this up).
Introduce FMT_OBSOLETE to identify pool metadata and use it and FMT_MDAS
instead of hard-coded format names.
Explain device accesses on pvscan --cache man page.
If there is no define for BLKPBSZGET - we have hard time how to
decrypt physical block size - we can't use here block_size,
since this is usually 4k while we need to use 512b.
FIXME: find some better way, until that enforce value 512.
Eventually we could also try to put in:
+#ifndef BLKPBSZGET
+# define BLKPBSZGET _IO(0x12,123)
+#endif
but this will still not work well on old kernels.
This reverts commit 24639be558.
Ok - seems we could be here a bit too active - and we
may remove devices which are unsuable for reasons we are not
aware of - thus taking down whole device could be way to big hammer.
So we still need some solution to recover from failing preload
and activation - but it needs more tunning.
When activation fails - we may leak large tree of partially loaded
devices in the dm table (i.e. failure in snapshot activation)
The best we can do here is try to deactivate whole device and
remove as much inactive table entries as we can.
When LV is scanned for its dependencies - scan also origin's snapshots,
and thin external origins.
So if any PV from snapshot or external origin device is missing - lvm2 will
avoid trying to activate such device.
The metadata/disk_areas setting was incorrectly registered as
"string" configuration option but it's a section where each area
is defined in its own subsection with "start_sector", "size" and "id"
setting.
This setting is not officialy supported, it's undocumented and it's
used solely for debugging.
Note: At this moment, it does not seem to be working with lvmetad!
When the device is inserted in dev_name_confirmed() stat() is
called twice as _insert() has it's own stat() call.
Extend _insert() parameter with struct stat* - which could be used
if it has been just obtained. When NULL is passed code is
doing its own stat() call as before.
Thin kernel target 1.9 still does not support online resize of
thin pool metadata properly - so disable it with expectation
for much higher version - and reenable after fixing kernel.
Replacement of pv_read by find_pv_by_name in commit
651d5093ed caused spurious
error messages when running pvcreate or vgextend against an
unformatted device.

If we're calling pvcreate on a device that already has a PV label,
the blkid detects the existing PV and then we consider it for wiping
before we continue creating the new PV label and we issue a warning
with a prompt whether such old PV label should be removed. We don't
do this with native signature detection code. Let's make it consistent
with old behaviour.
But still keep this "PV" (identified as "LVM1_member" or "LVM2_member"
by blkid) detection when creating new LVs to avoid unexpected PV label
appeareance inside LV.
Collapse 2 ifs and replace log_error() with log_warn(), since\
the reported message is not causing tools error.
(and cannot be probably triggered anyway).
Optimize and cleanup recently introduced new function wipe_lv.
Use compound literals to get nicely initialized wipe_params struct.
Pass in lv as explicit argument for wipe_lv.
Use cmd from lv structure.
Initialize only non-null members so it's easy to see what
is the special arg.
Drop find_merging_snapshot() function. Use find_snapshot()
called after check for lv_is_merging_origin() which
is the commonly used code path - so we avoid duplicated
tests and potential risk of derefering NULL point
in unhandled error path.
This is actually the wipefs functionailty as a matter of fact
(wipefs uses the same libblkid calls).
libblkid is more rich when it comes to detecting various
signatures, including filesystems and users can better
decide what to erase and what should be kept.
The code is shared for both pvcreate (where wiping is necessary
to complete the pvcreate operation) and lvcreate where it's up
to the user to decide.
The verbose output contains a bit more information about the
signature like LABEL and UUID.
For example:
raw/~ # lvcreate -L16m vg
WARNING: linux_raid_member signature detected on /dev/vg/lvol0 at offset 4096. Wipe it? [y/n]
or more verbose one:
raw/~ # lvcreate -L16m vg -v
...
Found existing signature on /dev/vg/lvol0 at offset 4096: LABEL="raw.virt:0" UUID="da6af139-8403-5d06-b8c4-13f6f24b73b1" TYPE="linux_raid_member" USAGE="raid"
WARNING: linux_raid_member signature detected on /dev/vg/lvol0 at offset 4096. Wipe it? [y/n]
The verbose output is the same output as found in blkid.
