Before removing thin pool LV always make sure, stacked message
for previous run are cleared - but allow to remove any
device that should have been created
(i.e. creation of snapshot failed - so the message for snapshot creation
may be replaced with delete message within unfinished transaction).
Also commit messages after lv remove - so free space is released in pool.
Extend the usage of origin_only flag to allow resume of thin pool LV
(when it's active) to pass only the messages.
origin_only flag will skip detection of already resumed tree for thin_pool,
so we do not need to suspend the tree and we just send messages.
Add pool_has_message and use it in attach_pool_message.
Also update header to make more obvious which segment type is
expected as parameter.
Rename 'read_only' to 'no_update' (no auto update transaction_id)
to better fit how it's used.
Fix problem when there was only one stacked message replaced with delete
message that caused unwanted transaction_id increase.
Failure to do so results in "Performing unsafe table load while X device(s) are
known to be suspended" errors. While fixing the problem in this way works and
is consistent with the way the mirror segment type does it, it would be nice
to find a solution that uses the generic suspend/resume calls.
Also included in this check-in are additions to the test suite that perform
conversions on RAID LVs under a snapshot. These tests are disabled for the
time being due to a kernel bug that is yet to be tracked down.
Since striped name function knows when to report 'linear' instead of
'stripe' type name - drop it from this place.
This fixes problem when reporting segtype e.g. for thin-pool which
is also using area_count=1 to store thin data device reference.
It also returns properly strduped memory instead of badly casted const char*.
Since snapshot needs to suspend origin - it might lead to pool userspace
deadlock (as the pool will wait for new space in case it would be overfilled,
but dmeventd would not be able to resize it, as the lvcreate operation would
have kept the VG lock.)
To minimize the risk of such scenario - we prevent to create new snapshot
in case we are over the threshold - but beware, there is still small timewindow,
so keep threshold at some reasonable level!
New field Data% is able to display info about
thin_pool, thin, snapshot and has generic meaning here.
Simple Time/Host field are here to display host and time creation.
Basic support to keep info when the LV was created.
Host and time is stored into LV mda section.
FIXME: Current version doesn't support configurable string via lvm.conf
and used fixed version strftime "%Y-%m-%d %T %z".
Also, don't allow a splitmirror operation on a RAID LV that is already tracking
a split, unless the operation is to stop the tracking and complete the split.
Example:
~> lvconvert --splitmirrors 1 --trackchanges vg/lv /dev/sdc1
# Now tracking changes - image can be merged back or split-off for good
~> lvconvert --splitmirrors 1 -n new_name vg/lv /dev/sdc1
# ^ Completes split ^
If a split is performed on a RAID that is tracking an already split image and
PVs are provided, we must ensure that
1) the already split LV is represented in the PVs
2) we are careful to split only the tracked image
RAID is not like traditional LVM mirroring. LVM mirroring required failed
devices to be removed or the logical volume would simply hang. RAID arrays can
keep on running with failed devices. In fact, for RAID types other than RAID1,
removing a device would mean substituting an error target or converting to a
lower level RAID (e.g. RAID6 -> RAID5, or RAID4/5 to RAID0). Therefore, rather
than removing a failed device unconditionally and potentially allocating a
replacement, RAID allows the user to "replace" a device with a new one. This
approach is a 1-step solution vs the current 2-step solution.
example> lvconvert --replace <dev_to_remove> vg/lv [possible_replacement_PVs]
'--replace' can be specified more than once.
example> lvconvert --replace /dev/sdb1 --replace /dev/sdc1 vg/lv
Use static buffer instead of stack allocated buffer.
This reduces stack size usage of lvm tool and the
change is very simple.
Since the whole library is not thread safe - it should not
add any new problems - and if there will be some conversion
it's easy to convert this to use some preallocated buffer.
For write we do not need to hold memory locked.
This relaxes many conditions and avoid problems when allocating
a lot of memory for writting metadata buffers.
(In case of huge MDA size this would lead to mismatch between
locked and unlocked memory region size).
Add also internal check we are not writing in critical section.
