Add LV_TEMPORARY flag for LVs with limited existence during command
execution. Such LVs are temporary in way that they need to be activated,
some action done and then removed immediately. Such LVs are just like
any normal LV - the only difference is that they are removed during
LVM command execution. This is also the case for LVs representing
future pool metadata spare LVs which we need to initialize by using
the usual LV before they are declared as pool metadata spare.
We can optimize some other parts like udev to do a better job if
it knows that the LV is temporary and any processing on it is just
useless.
This flag is orthogonal to LV_NOSCAN flag introduced recently
as LV_NOSCAN flag is primarily used to mark an LV for the scanning
to be avoided before the zeroing of the device happens. The LV_TEMPORARY
flag makes a difference between a full-fledged LV visible in the system
and the LV just used as a temporary overlay for some action that needs to
be done on underlying PVs.
For example: lvcreate --thinpool POOL --zero n -L 1G vg
- first, the usual LV is created to do a clean up for pool metadata
spare. The LV is activated, zeroed, deactivated.
- between "activated" and "zeroed" stage, the LV_NOSCAN flag is used
to avoid any scanning in udev
- betwen "zeroed" and "deactivated" stage, we need to avoid the WATCH
udev rule, but since the LV is just a usual LV, we can't make a
difference. The LV_TEMPORARY internal LV flag helps here. If we
create the LV with this flag, the DM_UDEV_DISABLE_DISK_RULES
and DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES flag are set (just like as it is
with "invisible" and non-top-level LVs) - udev is directed to
skip WATCH rule use.
- if the LV_TEMPORARY flag was not used, there would normally be
a WATCH event generated once the LV is closed after "zeroed"
stage. This will make problems with immediated deactivation that
follows.
A common scenario is during new LV creation when we need to wipe the
newly created LV and avoid any udev scanning before this stage otherwise
it could cause the device (the LV) to be claimed by some other subsystem
for which there were stale metadata within LV data.
This patch adds possibility to mark the LV we're just about to wipe with
a flag that gets passed to udev via DM_COOKIE as a subsystem specific
flag - DM_SUBSYSTEM_UDEV_FLAG0 (in this case the subsystem is "LVM")
so LVM udev rules will take care of handling that.
According to bug 995193, if a volume group
1) contains a mirror
2) is clustered
3) 'locking_type' = 0 is used
then it is not possible to remove the 'c'luster flag from the VG. This
is due to the way _lv_is_active behaves.
We shouldn't allow the cluster flag to be flipped unless the mirrors in
the cluster are not active. This is because different kernel modules
are used depending on whether a mirror is cluster or not. When we
attempt to see if the mirror is active, we first check locally. If it
is not, then we attempt to check for remotely active instances if the VG
is clustered. Since the no_lock locking type is LCK_CLUSTERED, but does
not implement 'query_resource', remote_lock_held will always return an
error in this case. An error from remove_lock_held is treated as though
the lock _is_ held (i.e. the LV is active remotely). This blocks the
cluster flag from changing.
The solution is to implement 'query_resource' for the no_lock type. It
will report a message and return 1. This will allow _lv_is_active to
function properly. The LV would be considered not active remotely and
the VG can change its flag.
This ties the two preceding changes together, actually using the "ondisk"
version of VG metadata instead of calling into lvmcache when activating
volumes. The cache hooks are still used as a fallback, because we don't have an
uncached scanning API yet.
Previously, we have relied on UUIDs alone, and on lvmcache to make getting a
"new copy" of VG metadata fast. If the code which triggers the activation has
the correct VG metadata at hand (the version which is currently on disk), it can
now hand it to the activation code directly.
This patch to the suspend code - like the similar change for resume -
queries the lock mode of a cluster volume and records whether it is active
exclusively. This is necessary for suspend due to the possibility of
preloading targets. Failure to check to exclusivity causes the cluster target
of an exclusively activated mirror to be used when converting - rather than
the single machine target.
Today, we use "suppress_messages" flag (set internally in init_locking fn based
on 'ignorelockingfailure() && getenv("LVM_SUPPRESS_LOCKING_FAILURE_MESSAGES")'.
This way, we can suppress high level messages like "File-based locking
initialisation failed" or "Internal cluster locking initialisation failed".
However, each locking has its own sequence of initialization steps and these
could log some errors as well. It's quite misleading for the user to see such
errors and warnings if the "--sysinit" is used (and so the ignorelockingfailure
&& LVM_SUPPRESS_LOCKING_FAILURE_MESSAGES environment variable). Errors and
warnings from these intermediary steps should be suppressed as well if requested.
This patch propagates the "suppress_messages" flag deeper into locking init
functions. I've also added these flags for other locking types for consistency,
though it's not actually used for no_locking and readonly_locking.
results in clvmd deadlock
When a logical volume is activated exclusively in a cluster, the
local (non-cluster-aware) target is used. However, when creating
a snapshot on the exclusive LV, the resulting suspend/resume fails
to load the appropriate device-mapper table - instead loading the
cluster-aware target.
This patch adds an 'exclusive' parameter to the pertinent resume
functions to allow for the right target type to be loaded.
Remove temporaly added fs_unlock() calls to fix clmvd usablity.
Now when the message passing is properly working - they are no longer needed.
Simplify no_locking check for VG unlock - as message is always send
for all targets - clustered & non-clustered.
This is better way how to fix clustered synchronization with udev.
As the code for message passing needs fixed - put currently
fs_unlock() after every active/deactive command in clvmd to
ensure nodes are properly created in time.
Ignore snapshots when performing mirror recovery beneath an origin.
Pass LCK_ORIGIN_ONLY flag around cluster.
Add suspend_lv_origin and resume_lv_origin using LCK_ORIGIN_ONLY.
more descriptive message if locking fails instead of
"Locking type -1 initialisation failed."
Use read-only locking instead of misleading ignorelocking option
in message.
We provide a lock type that behaves like no_locking, but is not
clustered. Moreover, it also forbids any write locks. This magically (and
consistently) prevents use of clustered VGs, or changing local VGs with
--ignorelockingfailure. As a bonus, we can remove the special hacks in a few
places. Of course, people looking for trouble can always set their locking_type
to 0 to override.
Add --config for overriding most config file settings from cmdline.
Quote arguments when printing command line.
Remove linefeed from 'initialising logging' message.
Add 'Completed' debug message.
Don't attempt library exit after reloading config files.
Always compile with libdevmapper, even if device-mapper is disabled.
