Recent changes allow some major simplification of the way
lvmcache works and is used. lvmcache_label_scan is now
called in a controlled fashion at the start of commands,
and not via various unpredictable side effects. Remove
various calls to it from other places. lvmcache_label_scan
should not be called from anywhere during a command, because
it produces an incorrect representation of PVs with no MDAs,
and misclassifies them as orphans. This has been a long
standing problem. The invalid flag and rescanning based on
that is no longer used and removed. The 'force' variation is
no longer needed and removed.
btrfs is using fake major:minor device numbers.
try to be smarter and detect used node via DM device name.
This shortens delays, where i.e. lvm2 is asked to deactivate
volume with mounted btrfs as such operation is not retryed
and user is informed about device being in use.
When function dm_stats_populate() returns 0 it's an error and needs
log_error() message - function can't have 'success' returning 0 or
error without reasons.
When doing resume, directly pass location where new updated info
needs to be stored.
_resume_node() ensures the info is ONLY updated when the function
is successful and never changes it on error path.
Update the logic towards more explicit logic.
Preload tree normally does not want to resume, only
in certain cases of extension or new loaded nodes can be
resumed. So introduce new internal variable delay_resume_if_extended
controlable by target.
Patch itself is not changing current existing behaviour,
and rather documents existing problem in more readable way.
lvm2 needs to introduce explicit mechanism how to support more
fain-grained (and safe) logic to i.e. resize thin-pool which
can be sitting on cached raid volume.
Variable props.send_messages has 3 states and was not used properly
here. Activation in this moment does not need to verify thin-pool status
as that has been already checked on preload.
So only if there are some real messages (value 2) call function
for sending them.
Code already has dereferenced UUID before this point,
and its already given we require name & uuid when ading new node
(although uuid could be empty string).
Just like everywhere else - use single if() for major:minor setup
(it basically can't fail as of today anyway)
Always leave funtion with correctly set pointers even on error path.
Replicator never really existed in upstream kernel and its support
got deprecated.
Also its support never got finished so no code is supposed to be
using it anyway.
Libdm symbols are remaining, just the implementation will always
return failure - so any user of:
dm_tree_node_add_replicator_dev_target()
dm_tree_node_add_replicator_target().
will now always recieve error message.
Separate handling of error code from _info_by_dev.
This error can only happeng when we are running out of memory.
In such case there is urgent need to stop any futher proceeding
of command and run to error ASAP.
ATM we want to support delayed resume purely in pvmove case.
So have libdm logic internal to recognize difference beween
pvmove and other targets that do use delayed resume.
This fixes problem introduced with commit aa68b898ff
for mirror-on-mirror or snapshot-on-mirror problem.
TODO: likely added new API call and let libdm user select
delayed nodes explicitely.
Propagate delayed resume at least for preload case in a simple way.
Currently PVMOVE depends on internal logic where 'mirror' with
corelog is 'possible' PVMOVE. In such case resume of 'created'
node is 'delayed'.
This is mostly an ugly internal hack - but for the moment being when we
add propagation for preload - it does work reasonable.
TODO: provide standard API and avoid this internal 'guessing'.
Check first if we need to even link -lrt - since clock functions
are normally emebeded with recent glibc (>=2.17)
Use standard RT_LIBS name.
Avoid duplicate test for realtime clock with lvmlockd
Show better error message when realtime clock support is missing or
disabled.
Link RT_LIBS explicitely with lvmlockd and lvmetad.
Avoid adding -g more then once for debug builds.
Avoid enabling DEBUG_MEM when we build multithreaded tools.
Link executables with -fPIE -pie and --export-dynamic LDFLAGS
Introduce PROGS_FLAGS to add option to pass flags for external libs.
Link lvm2 internally library only when really used.
Link DAEMON_LIBS with daemons.
Pass VALGRIND_CFLAGS internally
Set shell failure mode on couple places.
API for strtod() or strtoul() needs reset of errno, before it's being
called. So add missing resets in missing places and some also some
errno validation for out-of-range numbers.
Dmeventd reuses 'dm_task' struct for some STATUS operation, but due to
missing reinitization of dm_task target list, it has caused misprocesing
of recieved events as the parsed target has been simply added to the
list of existing status and cause multiple actions being called for
single event.
Add function to adjust printing of percent values in better way.
Rounding here is going along following rules:
0% & 100% are always clearly reported with .0 decimal points.
Values slightly above 0% we make sure a nearest bigger
non zero value with given precission is printed
(i.e. 0.01 for %.2f will be shown)
For values closely approaching 100% we again detect and adjust value
that is less then 100 when printed.
(i.e. 99.99 for %.2f will be shown).
For other values we are leaving them with standard rounding mechanism
since we care mainly about corner values 0 & 100 which need to be
printed precisely.
Current existing kernels reports status sometimes in weird form.
Instead of showing what is the exact progress, we need to estimate
this in-sync state from several surrounding states.
Main reason here is to never report 100% sync state for a raid device
which will be undergoing i.e. recovery.
It's not an error to attempt to update regions from an fd that has
been truncated (or otherwise no longer has any allocated extents):
in this case, the call should remove all regions corresponding to
the group, and return an empty region table.
Use log_sys_error rather than log_error if execvp() fails:
/mnt/redhat/xdoio.13752.XIORQ: Created new group with 2 region(s) as group ID 0.
# execvp() failed.
vs:
/var/lib/libvirt/images/rhel7-vm1.qcow2: Created new group with 884 region(s) as group ID 0.
dmfilemapd: execvp failed: No such file or directory
Removing some unused new lines and changing some incorrect "can't
release until this is fixed" comments. Rename license.txt to make
it clear its merely an included file, not itself a licence.
This commit supersedes reverted 1e4462dbfb
to avoid changes to liblvm and the libdm API completely.
The libdevmapper interface compares existing table line retrieved from
the kernel to new table line created to decide if it can suppress a reload.
Any difference between input and output of the table line is taken to be a
change thus causing a table reload.
The dm-raid target started to misorder the raid parameters (e.g. 'raid10_copies')
starting with dm-raid target version 1.9.0 up to (excluding) 1.11.0. This causes
runtime failures (limited to raid10 as of tests) and needs to be reversed to allow
e.g. old lvm2 uspace to run properly.
Check for the aforementioned version range in libdm and adjust creation of the table line
to the respective (mis)ordered sequence inside and correct order outside the range
(as described for the raid target in the kernels Documentation/device-mapper/dm-raid.txt).
This reverts commit 1e4462dbfb
in favour of an enhanced solution avoiding changes in liblvm
completetly by checking the target versions in libdm and emitting
the respective parameter lines.

Require that the path argument to dmfilemapd be an absolute path
and document this in tool output, libdevmapper.h and dmfilemapd.8.
The check is also enforced by dm_stats_start_filemapd() to avoid
forking a new process with an invalid path argument.
Older library version was not detecting unknown 'feature' bits
and could let start target without needed option.
New versioned symbol now checks for supported feature bits.
_Base version keeps accepting only previously known features and
mask/ignores unknown bits.
NB: if the older binary passed in 'random' bits, it will not get
metadata2 by chance. New linked binary get new validation function.
Library user is required to not pass 'trash' for unsupported bits,
as such calls will be rejected.
Dm cache target version 1.10 introduces new cache metadata format
(upstream kernel >=4.11).
New format is enable by passing new target feature flag metadata2.
Interace side on libdm uses DM_CACHE_FEATURE_METADATA2.
This feature bit is now also recognized on status
and set in 'feature_flags' field of dm_status_cache structure.
Code also adds check for 'highest' supported feature flag bit.
So it rejects properly any 'unknown' feature bit set by application.
Better code to enforce writethrough caching for cleaner policy.
Only check for cleaner when DM_CACHE_FEATURE_PASSTHROUGH or
DM_CACHE_FEATURE_WRITEBACK is set.
Test for NULL in dm_stats_destroy() and return immediately if
the struct dm_stats pointer is NULL (similar to free(NULL)).
This simplifies cleanup code which otherwise needs to:
out:
if (dms)
dm_stats_destroy(dms);
return;
Older compilers are not able to determine that although group_id
is only assigned in one branch of a conditional, it is never used
used when the other branch is taken:
libdm-stats.c:3319: warning: "group_id" may be used uninitialized in this function
Avoid this by always initialising the variable when it is
declared.
Add a daemon that can be launched to monitor a group of regions
corresponding to the extents of a file, and to update the regions as the
file's allocation changes.
The daemon is intended to be started from a library interface, but can
also be run from the command line:
dmfilemapd <fd> <group_id> <path> <mode> [<foreground>[<log_level>]]
Where fd is a file descriptor open on the mapped file, group_id is the
group identifier of the mapped group and mode is either "inode" or
"path". E.g.:
# dmfilemapd 3 0 vm.img inode 1 3 3<vm.img
...
If foreground is non-zero, the daemon will not fork to run in the
background. If verbose is non-zero, libdm and daemon log messages will
be printed.
It is possible for the group identifier to change when regions are
re-mapped: this occurs when the group leader is deleted (regroup=1 in
dm_stats_update_regions_from_fd()), and another region is created before
the daemon has a chance to recreate the leader region.
The operation is inherently racey since there is currently no way to
atomically move or resize a dm_stats region while retaining its
region_id.
Detect this condition and update the group_id value stored in the
filemap monitor.
A function is also provided in the the stats API to launch the filemap
monitoring daemon:
int dm_stats_start_filemapd(int fd, uint64_t group_id, const char *path,
dm_filemapd_mode_t mode, unsigned foreground,
unsigned verbose);
This carries out the first fork and execs dmfilemapd with the arguments
specified.
A dm_filemapd_mode_t value is specified by the mode argument: either
DM_FILEMAPD_FOLLOW_INODE, or DM_FILEMAPD_FOLLOW_PATH. A helper function,
dm_filemapd_mode_from_string(), is provided to parse a string containing
a valid mode name into the appropriate dm_filemapd_mode_t value.
It's not an error to call dm_stats_group_present() on a handle
that contains no regions.
This causes dmfilemap to log a false backtrace during shutdown
if all regions are removed from the corresponding device:
exiting _filemap_monitor_get_events() with deleted=0, check=0
waiting for FILEMAPD_WAIT
dm message (253:1) [ opencount flush ] @stats_list dmstats [32768] (*1)
<backtrace>
Filemap group removed: exiting.
Change this to only emit a backtrace if the handle is NULL.
Commit 80a6de616a versioned the dm_tree_node_add_raid_target_with_params()
and dm_tree_node_add_raid_target() APIs for compatibility reasons.
There's no user of the latter function, remove it.

Commit 27384c52cf lowered the maximum number of devices
back to 64 for compatibility.
Because more members have been added to the API in
'struct dm_tree_node_raid_params *', we have to version
the public libdm RAID API to not break any existing users.
Changes:
- keep the previous 'struct dm_tree_node_raid_params' and
dm_tree_node_add_raid_target_with_params()/dm_tree_node_add_raid_target()
in order to expose the already released public RAID API
- introduce 'struct dm_tree_node_raid_params_v2' and additional functions
dm_tree_node_add_raid_target_with_params_v2()/dm_tree_node_add_raid_target_v2()
to be used by the new lvm2 lib reshape extentions
With this new API, the bitfields for rebuild/writemostly legs in
'struct dm_tree_node_raid_params_v2' can be raised to 256 bits
again (253 legs maximum supported in MD kernel).
Mind that we can limit the maximum usable number via the
DEFAULT_RAID{1}_MAX_IMAGES definition in defaults.h.

Commit 64a2fad5d6 raised the maximum number of RAID devices to 64.
Commit e2354ea344 introduced RAID_BITMAP_SIZE as 4 to have
256 bits (4 * 64 bit array members), thus changing the libdm API
unnecessarilly for the time being.
To not change the API, reduce RAID_BITMAP_SIZE to 1.
Remove an unneeded definition of it from libdm-common.h.
If we ever decide to raise past 64, we'll version the API.

In order to support striped raid5/6/10 LV reshaping (change
of LV type, stripesize or number of legs), this patch
introduces infrastructure prerequisites to be used
by raid_manip.c extensions in followup patches.
This base is needed for allocation of out-of-place
reshape space required by the MD raid personalities to
avoid writing over data in-place when reading off the
current RAID layout or number of legs and writing out
the new layout or to a different number of legs
(i.e. restripe)
Changes:
- add members reshape_len to 'struct lv_segment' to store
out-of-place reshape length per component rimage
- add member data_copies to struct lv_segment
to support more than 2 raid10 data copies
- make alloc_lv_segment() aware of both reshape_len and data_copies
- adjust all alloc_lv_segment() callers to the new API
- add functions to retrieve the current data offset (needed for
out-of-place reshaping space allocation) and the devices count
from the kernel
- make libdm deptree code aware of reshape_len
- add LV flags for disk add/remove reshaping
- support import/export of the new 'struct lv_segment' members
- enhance lv_extend/_lv_reduce to cope with reshape_len
- add seg_is_*/segtype_is_* macros related to reshaping
- add target version check for reshaping
- grow rebuilds/writemostly bitmaps to 246 bit to support kernel maximal
- enhance libdm deptree code to support data_offset (out-of-place reshaping)
and delta_disk (legs add/remove reshaping) target arguments

Add a call to update the regions corresponding to a file mapped
group of regions. The regions to be updated must be grouped, to
allow us to correctly identify extents that have been deallocated
since the map was created.
Tables are built of the file extents, and the extents currently
mapped to dmstats regions: if a region no longer has a matching
file extent, it is deleted, and new regions are created for any
file extents without a matching region.
The FIEMAP call returns extents that are currently in-memory (or
journaled) and awaiting allocation in the file system. These have
the FIEMAP_EXTENT_UNKNOWN | FIEMAP_EXTENT_DELALLOC flag bits set
in the fe_flags field - these extents are skipped until they
have a known disk location.
Since it is possile for the 0th extent of the file to have been
deallocated this must also handle the possible deletion and
re-creation of the group leader: if no other region allocation
is taking place the group identifier will not change.
If the group_id passed to _stats_group_id_present is equal to the
special value DM_STATS_GROUP_NOT_PRESENT there is no need to perform
any further tests: return false immediately.
When showing sizes with 'H|human' units we do use standard rounding.
This however is confusing users from time to time,
when the printed number uses some biger units i.e. GiB and there is just
tiny fraction of space missing.
So here is some real-life example with new 'r' unit.
$lvs
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin
lvol0 vg -wi-a----- 1.99g
lvol1 vg -wi-a----- <2.00g
lvol2 vg -wi-a----- <2.01g
Meaning is - lvol1 has 'slightly' less then 2.00g - from sign '<' user
can be aware the LV doesn't have full 2.00GiB in size so he
will be less surpriced allocation of 2G volume will not succeed.
$ vgs
VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree
vg 2 2 0 wz--n- <6,00g <2,01g
For uses needing 'old' undecorated human unit simply will continue
to use 'H|h' units.
The new R|r may further change when we would recongnize some
other way how to improve readability.
Call _stats_regions_destroy() from dm_stats_list() if dms->regions
is non-NULL. This avoids leaking any pool allocations and ensures
the handle is in a known state: if an error occurs during the list,
dms->regions will be NULL and the handle will appear empty.
The system is likely in some very inconsisten state.
Do not try to make it even more problematic with trying
to invoke tools like thin_check via callback.
The dm_bit_copy() macro uses the source (bs1) bitset size as the
limit for memcpy:
memcpy((bs1) + 1, (bs2) + 1, ((*(bs1) / DM_BITS_PER_INT) + 1)..)
This is safe if the destination bitset is smaller than the source,
or if the two bitsets are of the same size.
With a destination that is larger (e.g. when resizing a bitmap to
add more capacity), the memcpy will overrun the source bitset and
set garbage bits in the destination.
There are nine uses of the macro currently (8 in libdm/regex, and
1 in daemons/cmirrord): in each case the two bitsets are always of
equal size so the behaviour is unchanged.
Fix the macro to use bs2's size to simplify resizing bitsets and
avoid the need for another copy macro.
If FIEMAP returns a single extent after the first call, no extent
boundary is detected and the first extent is not counted by the
normal mechanism.
In this case, increment nr_extents at the same time the extent is
added to the region table, before returning.
It's useful to be able to specify a minimum number of bits for a
new bitmap parsed from a list, for e.g. to allow for expansing a
group without needing to copy/reallocate the bitmap.
Add a backwards compatible symbol for programs linked against old
versions of the library.
It is sometimes convenient to iterate over the set bits in a dm
bitset in reverse order (from the highest set bit toward zero), or
to quickly find the last set bit.
Add dm_bit_get_last() and dm_bit_get_prev(), mirroring the existing
dm_bit_get_first() and dm_bit_get_next().
dm_bit_get_prev() uses __builtin_clz when available to efficiently
test the bitset in reverse.
Split out the loop that iterates over each batch of FIEMAP
extent data from the function that sets up and calls the ioctl
to reduce nesting and simplify local variable use:
_stats_get_extents_for_file()
-> _stats_map_extents()
The _stats_map_extents() function is responsible for detecting
eof and extent boundaries and adding whole, allocated extents
to the file extent table for region creation.
Check that all region_id values specified in a group bitmap are
actually present: although this should not normally happen when
using the dmstats tool, it is possible as a result of manual
changes (or bugs) for a group descriptor to contain one or more
group_id values that do not exist.
Check for this situation when reading group descriptors, warn
the user the user, and clear these bits in the bitmap when
formatting it for output.
If a region has a a DMS_GROUP tag in aux_data where the first
region_id in the bitmap is not the same as the containing region,
dmstats will segfault:
# '2' is never a valid group bitset list for region_id == 0
# dmsetup message vg_hex/root 0 "@stats_set_aux 0 DMS_GROUP=img:2#"
# dmsetup message vg_hex/root 0 "@stats_list"
0: 45383680+16384 16384 dmstats DMS_GROUP=img:2#
1: 46071808+32768 32768 dmstats -
2: 47382528+16384 16384 dmstats -
# dmstats list
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
The crash will occur in some arbitrary dm_stats_get_* property
method - this happens while processing the 1st region_id in the
bitset, because the region is marked as grouped, but there is
no group bitmap present at dms->groups[2]->regions.
Fix this by detecting a mismatch between the expected region_id
and dm_bit_get_first() for the parsed bitset during
_parse_aux_data_group().
Handle files that contain multiple logical extents in a single
physical extent properly:
- In FIEMAP terms a logical extent is a contiguous range of
sectors in the file's address space.
- One or more physically adjacent logical extents comprise a
physical extent: these are the disk areas that will be mapped
to regions.
- An extent boundary occurs when the start sector of extent
n+1 is not equal to (n.start + n.length).
This requires that we accumulate the length values of extents
returned by FIEMAP until a discontinuity is found (since each
struct fiemap_extent returned by FIEMAP only represents a single
logical extent, which may be contiguous with other logical
extents on-disk).
This avoids creating large numbers of regions for physically
adjacent (logical) extents and fixes the earlier behaviour which
would only map the first logical extent of the physical extent,
leaving gaps in the region table for these files.
When mapping regions to a file descriptor, a temporary table of
extent descriptors is built using the dm_pool object building
interface.
Previously this use borrowed the dms->mem region and counter
table pool (since nothing can interleave with the allocation
while the caller is still in dm_stats_create_regions_from_fd()).
This turns out to be problematic for error recovery. When a
region creation operation fails partway through file mapping,
we need to roll back the set of already created regions and
this requires a listed handle: the dm_stats_list() will then
allocate from the same pool as the extents; we either have
to throw away valid list data, or leak the extent table, to
return the handle in a valid state.
Avoid this problem by creating a new, temporary mem pool in
_stats_create_file_regions() to hold the extent data, and
discarding it on exit from the function.
While cleaning up the table of already created regions during a
failed dm_stats_create_regions_from_fd(), list the handle once,
and call _stats_delete_region() directly. This avoids sending a
@stats_list message for each region deleted, reducing runtime
from 6s to 0.7s when cleaning up ~250 out of ~10000 regions:
# time dmstats create --filemap b.img
device-mapper: message ioctl on (253:0) failed: Cannot allocate memory
Failed to create region 246 of 309 at 9388032.

Command failed

user 0m0.034s

Testing the error path requires region creation to start to
fail part way through the operation (in order to have regions
to clean up): the simplest way is to ensure the system is
close to the kernel limit of 1/4 RAM or 1/2 vmalloc space
consumed by dmstats data.
Split dm_stats_delete_region() so that internal callers can manage
the handle state themselves.
dm_stats_delete_region() now just handles checking the state of the
handle, reporting validation errors, and calling dm_stats_list() if
necessary, before calling _stats_delete_region().
The new _stats_delete_region() function performs the actual group
member removal and region deletion, and requires a fully listed
handle to operate.
Callers that repeatedly delete regions can use a single listed
handle for many operations on the same device, avoiding one
message ioctl per region deleted: since @stats_list with many
regions is expensive, this yields large runtime improvements.
If we fail to create a region during dm_stats_create_regions_from_fd(),
we must remove all regions that were created to do this to date. This
needs to loop over the table of region_id values that were populated
by _stats_create_file_regions() before the error.
The code for this failure case in the out_remove branch incorrectly
uses the table index as the region_id:
for (--i; i != DM_STATS_REGION_NOT_PRESENT; i--) {
if (!dm_stats_delete_region(dms, i))
log_error("Could not delete region " FMTu64 ".", i);
}
This causes the cleanup code to delete a completely unrelated set
of regions (since the index here will always be nr_regions..0).
Fix it to pass the actual region_id stored in regions[i] instead.
Fix a silly bug in dm_stats_delete_region() that hugely inflates
runtimes when deleting a large number of regions.
For ~50,000 regions this change reduces the runtime from 98s to
6s on my test systems (a ~93% reduction).
The bug exists because dm_stats_delete_region() applies a truth
test to the return value of dm_stats_get_nr_areas(); this is
never correct usage - it will walk the entire region table and
calculate area counts for each region (which is roughly O(n^2)
in the number of regions, as dm_stats_delete_region() is being
called inside a region walk).
Although the individual area calculation is not that costly,
uselessly running anything 2,500,000,000 times over gets a bit
slow.
A much cheaper test (which is always true if the areas check is
true) is to just test dm_stats_get_nr_regions() or dms->regions;
if either is true it implies at least one area exists.

There are two possible errors in _dm_stats_populate_region():
* No region struct in dms->regions[region_id]
* Failure to parse data from @stats_print
These have very different causes: the first occurs where a client
program is populating one region at a time (region_id is a single
region identifier), and has not previously called dm_stats_list()
to dimension the region tables; this is an API usage error.
The second occurs when either we read unparseable data from the
kernel (kernel bug), or where various resource allocations fail.
Separate these two cases out and log separate messages for each
(allocation failures in the path already have their own distinct
message), since the "failed to parse.." message in the un-listed
handle case is confusing and misleading.
Translate log_info() into log_very_verbose() which is macro
supposed to be used by our code.
log_info() is internal macro with eventually some 'symbolic' meaning
in syslogging daemons.
Instead of compiling 2 log call for 2 different logging functions,
and runtime decide which version to use - use only 'newer' function
and when user sets his own OLD dm_log logging translate it runtime
for old arg list set.
The positive part is - we get shorter generated library,
on the negative part this translation means, we always have evaluate
all args and print the message into local on stack buffer, before
we can pass this buffer to the users' logging function with proper
expected parameters (and such function may later decide to discard
logging based on message level so whole printing was unnecessary).
Introduce macros:
log_level(), log_stderr(), log_once(), log_bypass_report()
For easier and more consisten way how to 'decoder' bits
of info from passed 'level'.
This patch fixes potential problem when 'level' of message
might not have always masked right bits.
The dm_stats_delete_region() call removes a region from the bound
device, and, if the region is grouped, from the group leader
group descriptor stored in aux_data.
To do this requires a listed handle: previous versions of the
library do not since no dependencies exist between regions without
grouping.
This leads to strange behaviour when a command built against an old
version of the library is used with one supporting groups. Deleting
a region with dmstats succeeds, but logs errors:
# dmstats list
Name RgID RgSta RgSiz #Areas ArSize ProgID
vg_hex-root 0 0 1.00g 1 1.00g dmstats
vg_hex-root 1 1.00g 1.00g 1 1.00g dmstats
vg_hex-root 2 2.00g 1.00g 1 1.00g dmstats
# dmstats delete --regionid 2 vg_hex/root
Region ID 2 does not exist
Could not delete statistics region.
Command failed
# dmstats list
Name RgID RgSta RgSiz #Areas ArSize ProgID
vg_hex-root 0 0 1.00g 1 1.00g dmstats
vg_hex-root 1 1.00g 1.00g 1 1.00g dmstats
This happens because the call to dm_stats_delete_region() is inside
a dm_stats_walk_*() iterator: upon entry to the call, the iterator
is at its end conditions and about to terminate. Due to the call to
dm_stats_list() inside the function, it returns with an iterator at
the beginning of a walk and performs a further iteration before
exiting. This final loop makes a further attempt to delete the
(already deleted) region, leading to the confusing error messages.
