Makes dumpconfig whole-section output wrong in a different way from before,
but we should be able to merge cft_cmdline properly into cmd->cft now and
remove cascade.
leaving behind the LVM-specific parts of the code (convenience wrappers that
handle `struct device` and `struct cmd_context`, basically). A number of
functions have been renamed (in addition to getting a dm_ prefix) -- namely,
all of the config interface now has a dm_config_ prefix.
~> lvconvert --splitmirrors 1 --trackchanges vg/lv
The '--trackchanges' option allows a user the ability to use an image of
a RAID1 array for the purposes of temporary read-only access. The image
can be merged back into the array at a later time and only the blocks that
have changed in the array since the split will be resync'ed. This
operation can be thought of as a partial split. The image is never completely
extracted from the array, in that the array reserves the position the device
occupied and tracks the differences between the array and the split image via
a bitmap. The image itself is rendered read-only and the name (<LV>_rimage_*)
cannot be changed. The user can complete the split (permanently splitting the
image from the array) by re-issuing the 'lvconvert' command without the
'--trackchanges' argument and specifying the '--name' argument.
~> lvconvert --splitmirrors 1 --name my_split vg/lv
Merging the tracked image back into the array is done with the '--merge'
option (included in a follow-on patch).
~> lvconvert --merge vg/lv_rimage_<n>
The internal mechanics of this are relatively simple. The 'raid' device-
mapper target allows for the specification of an empty slot in an array
via '- -'. This is what will be used if a partial activation of an array
is ever required. (It would also be possible to use 'error' targets in
place of the '- -'.) If a RAID image is found to be both read-only and
visible, then it is considered separate from the array and '- -' is used
to hold it's position in the array. So, all that needs to be done to
temporarily split an image from the array /and/ cause the kernel target's
bitmap to track (aka "mark") changes made is to make the specified image
visible and read-only. To merge the device back into the array, the image
needs to be returned to the read/write state of the top-level LV and made
invisible.
Users already have the ability to split an image from an LV of "mirror"
segtype. This patch extends that ability to LVs of "raid1" segtype.
This patch only allows a single image to be split off, however. (The
"mirror" segtype allows an arbitrary number of images to be split off.
e.g. 4-way => 3-way/linear, 2-way/2-way, linear,3-way)
Move the free_vg() to vg.c and replace free_vg with release_vg
and make the _free_vg internal.
Patch is needed for sharing VG in vginfo cache so the release_vg function name
is a better fit here.
Defer the test of the function return value after the string memory is released.
Otherwise in this error path the string would present memory leak.
(Thought in this case we are already out of memory...)
Implementation described in doc/lvm2-raid.txt.
Basic support includes:
- ability to create RAID 1/4/5/6 arrays
- ability to delete RAID arrays
- ability to display RAID arrays
Notable missing features (not included in this patch):
- ability to clean-up/repair failures
- ability to convert RAID segment types
- ability to monitor RAID segment types
The conditional is not just unnecessary, it would have been wrong. The code
is suppose to be checking if the 'splitmirrors_ARG' is negative, but it
instead is checking 'mirrors_ARG'. Rather than changing the argument being
checked, I've pulled the check entirely because 'splitmirrors_ARG' is already
guarenteed to not be negative by virtue of the fact that it is a 'int_arg'.
Negative values will be caught in _process_command_line().
We've used udev fallback code till now to check whether udev
created/removed the entries in /dev correctly and if not,
a repair was done (giving a warning messagea about that).
This patch adds a possibility to enable this additional check
and subsequent fallback only when required (debugging purposes
mostly) and trust udev completely.
So let's disable the fallback code by default and add a new
configuration option "activation/udev_fallback".
(The original code for creating the nodes will still be used
in case the device directory that is set in lvm.conf differs
from the one that udev uses and also when activation/udev_rules
is set to 0 - otherwise we would end up with no nodes/symlinks
at all)
are affected by the move. (Currently it's possible for I/O to become
trapped between suspended devices amongst other problems.
The current fix was selected so as to minimise the testing surface. I
hope eventually to replace it with a cleaner one that extends the
deptree code.
Some lvconvert scenarios still suffer from related problems.
Patch adds check for stripe not only in direct
LV segment but also in mirror image segment.
This prevents bugs like:

# lvconvert -m1 -i1 vg_test/lv
# lvreduce -f -l1 vg_test/lv

Before, we used vg_write_lock_held call to determnine the way a device is
opened. Unfortunately, this opened many devices in RW mode when it was not
really necessary. With the OPTIONS+="watch" rule used in the udev rules,
this could fire numerous events while closing such devices (and it caused
useless scans from within udev rules in return).
A common bug we hit with this was with the lvremove command which was unable
to remove the LV since it was being opened from within the udev rules. This
patch should minimize such situations (at least with respect to LVM handling
of devices).
Though there's still a possibility someone will open a device 'outside' in
parallel and fire the event based on the watch rule when closing a device
once opened for RW.
allocates these buffers in such way it adds memory page for each such buffer
and size of unlock memory check will mismatch by 1 or 2 pages.
This happens when we print or read lines without '\n' so these buffers are
used. To avoid this extra allocation, use setvbuf to set these bufffers ahead.

Also, add a new 'obtain_device_list_from_udev' setting to lvm.conf with which
we can turn this feature on or off if needed.
If set, the cache of block device nodes with all associated symlinks
will be constructed out of the existing udev database content.
This avoids using and opening any inapplicable non-block devices or
subdirectories found in the device directory. This setting is applied
to udev-managed device directory only, other directories will be scanned
fully. LVM2 needs to be compiled with udev support for this setting to
take effect. N.B. Any device node or symlink not managed by udev in
udev directory will be ignored with this setting on.
allows us to allocate all images of a mirror (or RAID array) at one
time during create.
The current mirror implementation still requires a separate allocation
for the log, however.
As now the FID management is more complex, the code inside free_vg needs
to access some parts of memory pools which were not needed before.
For this - makes the order of unlock_and_free_vg() unconditional.
Keek using unlock_and_free_vg() API function.
For properly working VG locking mechanism only the alphabeting locking
orderer needs to be preserved.
TODO: there could be few more code parts simplified when we 'officially'
support of referencies between different memory pools.
With recent update of dm_report_field_string() API call to accept
completely const objects - we no longer need loose constness here
and keep it forwarding.
When I see 'seg_is_mirrored', I expect the argument to be an lv_segment.
In this case, it is lvcreate_params. Both structures, have a 'segtype'
entry which the macro dereferences. However, it just seems easier to
understand if we do 'segtype_is_mirrored' instead.
Since format instances will use own memory pool, it's necessary to properly
deallocate it. For now, only fid is deallocated. The PV structure itself
still uses cmd mempool mostly, but anytime we'd like to add a mempool
in the struct physical_volume, we can just rename this fn to free_pv and
add the code (like we have free_vg fn for VGs).
While STRIPE_SIZE_LIMIT * 2 is basically UINT_MAX, 32bit integer
value can already overflow durin arg size parsing.
(This really happens in test where --stripesize 4294967291 is used,
in s390x uint overflow and this test is ineffective.)
We allow writing non-orphan PVs only for resize now. The "orphan PV" assert
in pv_write fn uses the "allow_non_orphan" parameter to control this assert.
However, we should find a more elaborate solution so we can remove this
restriction altogether (pv_write together with vg_write is not atomic, we
need to find a safe mechanism so there's an easy revert possible in case of
an error).
Fixing some const warnings - with API change in:
int vg_extend(struct volume_group *vg, int pv_count, const char *const *pv_names,
Change is needed - as lvm2api expects const behaviour here.
So vg_extend() is doing local strdup for unescaping.
skip_dev_dir return const char* from const char* vg_name.
Rest of the patch is cleanup of related warnings.
Also using dm_report_filed_string() API change to simplify
casting in _string_disp and _lvname_disp.
Add configurable option to define minimal size of

pv_min_size() is added to lvm-globals and it's being

In order to achieve this, we need to be able to query whether
the origin is active exclusively (a condition of being able to
add an exclusive snapshot).
Once we are able to query the exclusive activation of an LV, we
can safely create/activate the snapshot.
A change to 'hold_lock' was also made so that a request to aquire
a WRITE lock did not replace an EX lock, which is already a form
of write lock.
Add new function dm_task_set_add_node() to select between 2 types

DM_ADD_NODE_ON_RESUME is now default and ensures node is created on
resume. Old original behavior is accessible with DM_ADD_NODE_ON_CREATE.
In this case node would be created during dmsetup create --notable.
For the user 2 new options for dmsetup create are added:
[{--addnodeonresume | --addnodeoncreate }]
Properly working node creation on resume is needed for proper operation
stacking and ability to correctly check in which state the device should

user to use two separate commands instead.
This issue become especially problematic when PVs are specified, as they
tend to mean different things when adding vs removing. In a command that

user wants.
This change prevents bug 603912.
