cfg_def_get_path uses a global static var to store the result (for efficiency).
So we need to apply the profile first and then get the path for the config item
when calling find_config_tree_* fns.
Also activation/auto_set_activation is not profilable (at least not now,
maybe later if we need that).
The activation/auto_set_activation_skip enables/disables automatic
adding of the ACTIVATION_SKIP LV flag. By default thin snapshots
are flagged to be skipped during activation.
And by default, the auto_set_activation_skip is enabled.
...when creating config trees while calling config_def_create_tree fn
that constructs a tree out of config_settings.h definition
(CFG_DEF_TREE_NEW/MISSING/DEFAULT/PROFILABLE).
Till now, we needed the config tree merge only for merging
tag configs with lvm.conf. However, this type of merging
did a few extra exceptions:
- leaving out the tags section
- merging values in activation/volume_list
- merging values in devices/filter
- merging values in devices/types
Any other config values were replaced by new values.
However, we'd like to do a 'raw merge' as well, simply
bypassing the exceptions listed above. This will help
us to create a single tree representing the cascaded
configs like CONFIG_STRING -> CONFIG_PROFILE -> ...
The reason for this patch is that when trees are cascaded,
the first value found while traversing the cascade is used,
not making any exceptions like we do for tag configs.
When CFG_DEF_TREE_MISSING is created, it needs to know the status
of the check done on the tree used (the CFG_USED flag).
This bug was introduced with f1c292cc38
"make it possible to run several instances of configuration check at
once". This patch separated the CFG_USED and CFG_VALID flags in
a separate 'status' field in struct cft_check_handle.
However, when creating some trees, like CFG_DEF_TREE_MISSING,
we need this status to do a comparison with full config definition
to determine which items are missing and for which default values
were used. Otherwise, all items would be considered missing.
So, pass this status in a new field called 'check_status' in
struct config_def_tree_spec that defines how the (dumpconfig) tree
should be constructed (and this struct is passed to
config_def_create_tree fn then).
These settins are customizable by profiles:
allocation/thin_pool_zero
allocation/thin_pool_discards
allocation/thin_pool_chunk_size
activation/thin_pool_autoextend_threshold
activation/thin_pool_autoextend_percent
Besides the classical configuration checks (type checking and
checking whether the item is recognized by lvm tools) for profiles,
do an extra check whether the configuration setting is customizable
by a profile at all. Give a warning message if not.
Before, the status of the configuration check (config_def_check fn call)
was saved directly in global configuration definitinion array (as part
of the cfg_def_item_t/flags)
This patch introduces the "struct cft_check_handle" that defines
configuration check parameters as well as separate place to store
the status (status here means CFG_USED and CFG_VALID flags, formerly
saved in cfg_def_item_t/flags). This struct can hold config check
parameters as well as the status for each config tree separately,
thus making it possible to run several instances of config_def_check
without interference.
When placing the profile in a configuration cascade, this sequence is
used exactly:
CONFIG_STRING -> CONFIG_PROFILE -> CONFIG_FILE/MERGED_FILES
So if the profile is used, it overloads the lvm.conf (and any
existing tag configs). However, if "--config" is used to define
a custom configuration on command line, this overloads even the
profile config!
This patch adds --profile arg to lvm cmds and adds config/profile_dir
configuration setting to select the directory where profiles are stored
By default it's /etc/lvm/profile.
The profiles are added by using new "add_profile" fn and then loaded
using the "load_profile" fn. All profiles are stored in a cmd context
within the new "struct profile_params":
struct profile_params {
const char *dir;
struct profile *global_profile;
struct dm_list profiles_to_load;
struct dm_list profiles;
};
...where "dir" is the directory with profiles, "global_profile" is
the profile that is set globally via the --profile arg (IOW, not
set per VG/LV basis based on metadata record) and the "profiles"
is the list with loaded profiles.
A helper type that helps with identification of the configuration source
which makes handling the configuration cascade a bit easier, mainly
removing and adding configuration trees to cascade dynamically.
Currently, the possible types are:
CONFIG_UNDEFINED - configuration is not defined yet (not initialized)
CONFIG_FILE - one file configuration
CONFIG_MERGED_FILES - configuration that is a result of merging more files into one
CONFIG_STRING - configuration string typed on cmd line directly
CONFIG_PROFILE - profile configuration (the new type of configuration, patches will follow...)
Also, generalize existing "remove_overridden_config_tree" to work with
configuration type identification in a cascade. Before, it was just
the CONFIG_STRING we used. Now, we need some more to add in a
cascade (like the CONFIG_PROFILE). So, we have:
struct dm_config_tree *remove_config_tree_by_source(struct cmd_context *cmd, config_source_t source);
config_source_t config_get_source_type(struct dm_config_tree *cft);
... for removing the tree by its source type from the cascade and
simply getting the source type.
Merging multiple config files together needs to know newest (highest)
timestamp of merged files. Persistent cache file is being used
only in case, the config file is older then .cache file.
Add verbose message when we will not obtain devices from udev
(i.e. testing is using different udev dir, and the log was
giving misleading info about using udev)
Add proper error message if zalloc from pull would have failed.
Fix typo obolete -> obsolete
There is no need to strdup a key when inserting into
the hash table as the table allocates memory and copies
the string. This was causing memory to be lost.
lvm dumpconfig [--ignoreadvanced] [--ignoreunsupported]
--ignoreadvanced causes the advanced configuration options to be left
out on dumpconfig output
--ignoreunsupported causes the options that are not officially supported
to be lef out on dumpconfig output
This shows up in the output as a short commentary:
$ lvm dumpconfig --type default --withcomments metadata/disk_areas
# Configuration option metadata/disk_areas.
# This configuration option is advanced.
# This configuration option is not officially supported.
disk_areas=""
lvm dumpconfig [--withcomments] [--withversions]
The --withcomments causes the comments to appear on output before each
config node (if they were defined in config_settings.h).
The --withversions causes a one line extra comment to appear on output
before each config node with the version information in which the
configuration setting first appeared.
There's a possibility to interconnect the dm_config_node with an
ID, which in our case is used to reference the configuration
definition ID from config_settings.h. So simply interconnecting
struct dm_config_node with struct cfg_def_item.
This patch also adds support for enhanced config node output besides
existing "output line by line". This patch adds a possibility to
register a callback that gets called *before* the config node is
processed line by line (for example to include any headers on output)
and *after* the config node is processed line by line (to include any
footers on output). Also, it adds the config node reference itself
as the callback arg in addition to have a possibility to extract more
information from the config node itself if needed when processing the
output callback (e.g. the key name, the id, or whether this is a
section or a value etc...).
If the config node from lvm.conf/--config tree is recognized and valid,
it's always coupled with the config node definition ID from
config_settings.h:
struct dm_config_node {
int id;
const char *key;
struct dm_config_node *parent, *sib, *child;
struct dm_config_value *v;
}
For example if the dm_config_node *cn holds "devices/dev" configuration,
then the cn->id holds "devices_dev_CFG" ID from config_settings.h, -1 if
not found in config_settings.h and 0 if matching has not yet been done.
To support the enhanced config node output, a new structure has been
defined in libdevmapper to register it:
struct dm_config_node_out_spec {
dm_config_node_out_fn prefix_fn; /* called before processing config node lines */
dm_config_node_out_fn line_fn; /* called for each config node line */
dm_config_node_out_fn suffix_fn; /* called after processing config node lines */
};
Where dm_config_node_out_fn is:
typedef int (*dm_config_node_out_fn)(const struct dm_config_node *cn, const char *line, void *baton);
(so in comparison to existing callbacks for config node output, it has
an extra dm_config_node *cn arg in addition)
This patch also adds these functions to libdevmapper:
- dm_config_write_node_out
- dm_config_write_one_node_out
...which have exactly the same functionality as their counterparts
without the "out" suffix. The "*_out" functions adds the extra hooks
for enhanced config output (prefix_fn and suffix_fn mentioned above).
One can still use the old interface for config node output, this is
just an enhancement for those who'd like to modify the output more
extensively.
lvm dumpconfig [--type {current|default|missing|new}] [--atversion] [--validate]
This patch adds above-mentioned args to lvm dumpconfig and it maps them
to creation and writing out a configuration tree of a specific type
(see also previous commit):
- current maps to CFG_TYPE_CURRENT
- default maps to CFG_TYPE_DEFAULT
- missing maps to CFG_TYPE_MISSING
- new maps to CFG_TYPE_NEW
If --type is not defined, dumpconfig defaults to "--type current"
which is the original behaviour of dumpconfig before all these changes.
The --validate option just validates current configuration tree
(lvm.conf/--config) and it writes a simple status message:
"LVM configuration valid" or "LVM configuration invalid"
Configuration checking is initiated during config load/processing
(_process_config fn) which is part of the command context
creation/refresh.
This patch also defines 5 types of trees that could be created from
the configuration definition (config_settings.h), the cfg_def_tree_t:
- CFG_DEF_TREE_CURRENT that denotes a tree of all the configuration
nodes that are explicitly defined in lvm.conf/--config
- CFG_DEF_TREE_MISSING that denotes a tree of all missing
configuration nodes for which default valus are used since they're
not explicitly used in lvm.conf/--config
- CFG_DEF_TREE_DEFAULT that denotes a tree of all possible
configuration nodes with default values assigned, no matter what
the actual lvm.conf/--config is
- CFG_DEF_TREE_NEW that denotes a tree of all new configuration nodes
that appeared in given version
- CFG_DEF_TREE_COMPLETE that denotes a tree of the whole configuration
tree that is used in LVM2 (a combination of CFG_DEF_TREE_CURRENT +
CFG_DEF_TREE_MISSING). This is not implemented yet, it will be added
later...
The function that creates the definition tree of given type:
struct dm_config_tree *config_def_create_tree(struct config_def_tree_spec *spec);
Where the "spec" specifies the tree type to be created:
struct config_def_tree_spec {
cfg_def_tree_t type; /* tree type */
uint16_t version; /* tree at this LVM2 version */
int ignoreadvanced; /* do not include advanced configs */
int ignoreunsupported; /* do not include unsupported configs */
};
This tree can be passed to already existing functions that write
the tree on output (like we already do with cmd->cft).
There is a new lvm.conf section called "config" with two new options:
- config/checks which enables/disables checking (enabled by default)
- config/abort_on_errors which enables/disables aborts on any type of
mismatch found in the config (disabled by default)
Add support for configuration checking - type checking and recognition
of registered configuration settings that LVM2 understands and also
check the structure of the configuration. Log error on any mismatch
found.
A hash over all allowed configuration paths is created which helps
with matching the exact configuration (lvm.conf/--config tree) with
the configuration item definition from config_settings.h in an
efficient and one-step way.
Two more helper flags are introduced for each configuration definition
item:
- CFG_USED which marks the item as being used (lvm.conf/--config)
This helps with identifying missing configuration options
(and for which defaults were used) when traversing the tree later.
- CFG_VALID which denotes that the item has already been checked and
it was found valid. This improves performance, so if the check
is called once again on the same tree which was not reloaded, we
can just return the state from previous check (with a possibility
to force the check if needed).
The new function that config.h exports and which is going to be used
to perform the configuration checking is:
int config_def_check(struct cmd_context *cmd, int force, int skip, int suppress_messages)
...which is exported internally via config.h.
For example, the old call and reference:
find_config_tree_str(cmd, "devices/dir", DEFAULT_DEV_DIR)
...now becomes:
find_config_tree_str(cmd, devices_dir_CFG)
So we're referring to the named configuration ID instead
of passing the configuration path and the default value
is taken from central config definition in config_settings.h
automatically.
This patch adds basic structures that encapsulate the config_settings.h
content - it takes each item and puts it in structures:
- cfg_def_type_t to define config item type
- cfg_def_value_t to define config item (default) value
- flags used to define the nature and use of the config item:
- CFG_NAME_VARIABLE for items with variable names (e.g. tags)
- CFG_ALLOW_EMPTY for items where empty value is allowed
- CFG_ADVANCED for items which are considered as "advanced settings"
- CFG_UNSUPPORTED for items which are not officially supported
(config options mostly for internal use and testing/debugging)
- cfg_def_item_t to encapsulate the whole definition of the config
definition itself
Each config item is referenced by named ID, e.g. "devices_dir_CFG"
instead of directly typing the path "devices/dir" as it was before.
This patch also adds cfg_def_get_path helper function to get the
config setting path up to the root for given config ID
(it returns the path in form of "abc/def/.../xyz" where the "abc"
is the topmost element).
This file centrally defines all recognized LVM2 configuration
sections and settings. Each item here has its parent, set of
allowed types, default value, brief comment, version the setting
first appeared in and flags that further define the nature of
the configuration setting and its use.
If '--mirrors/-m' and '--stripes/-i' are used together when creating
a logical volume, mirrors-over-stripes is currently chosen. The user
can override this by using the '--type raid10' option on creation.
However, we want a place where we can set the default behavior to
'raid10' explicitly - similar to the "mirror" and "raid1" tunable,
mirror_segtype_default.
A follow-on patch should use this new setting to change the default
from "mirror" to "raid10", as this is the preferred segment type.
We have been using 'mirror_region_size' in lvm.conf as the default region
size for RAID logical volumes as well as mirror logical volumes. Since,
"raid" is more inclusive and representative than "mirror", I have changed
the name of this setting. We must still check for the old setting and warn
the user if we are overriding it with the new setting if both happen to be
present.
