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().
