Use log_warn to print non-fatal warning messages.
Use of log_error would confuse checker for testing
whether proper error has been reported for some real error.
For now this convertions is not supported, thus disabled.
The only supported conversion for now is to create mirrored thin pools
from mirrored devices.
Update code for lvconvert.
Change the lvconvert user interface a bit - now we require 2 specifiers
--thinpool takes LV name for data device (and makes the name)
--poolmetadata takes LV name for metadata device.
Fix type in thin help text -z -> -Z.
Supported is also new flag --discards for thinpools.
When printing a message for the user and the lv_segment pointer is available,
use segtype->ops->name() instead of segtype->name. This gives a better
user-readable name for the segment. This is especially true for the
'striped' segment type, which prints "linear" if there is an area_count of
one.
Accept -q as the short form of --quiet.
Suppress non-essential standard output if -q is given twice.
Treat log/silent in lvm.conf as equivalent to -qq.
Review all log_print messages and change some to
log_print_unless_silent.
When silent, the following commands still produce output:
dumpconfig, lvdisplay, lvmdiskscan, lvs, pvck, pvdisplay,
pvs, version, vgcfgrestore -l, vgdisplay, vgs.
[Needs checking.]
Non-essential messages are shifted from log level 4 to log level 5
for syslog and lvm2_log_fn purposes.
Support has many limitations and lots of FIXMEs inside,
however it makes initial task when user creates a separate LV for
thin pool data and thin metadata already usable, so let's enable
it for testing.
Easiest API:
lvconvert --chunksize XX --thinpool data_lv metadata_lv
More functionality extensions will follow up.

There were no messages printed upon completiion of RAID device replacement.
This could cause confusion/concern during automated recovery, because the
user sees the failure messages but no other messages indicating correction.
s/Issue/Use/, otherwise it is easy to misread "Issue" as "Issuing" - causing
the user confusion as to whether the action was performed automatically or
whether they need to issue the command.
'_lv_update_log_type' takes a lvconvert_params argument so that it can pass
down the user's preference of 'region_size' and allocation_policy. When
'mirror_remove_missing' was introduced (commit ID
95986e42a1) it didn't make sense to pass down
user preferences - so NULL was given instead. While it may never happen in
practice, static analysis reveals that this argument could be dereferenced.
So, if the user preferences were not passed in, glean the necessary fields
from what is already set in the LV.

(Not updating WHATSNEW for this simple clean-up.)
The RAID plug-in for dmeventd now calls 'lvconvert --repair' to address failures
of devices in a RAID logical volume. The action taken can be either to "warn"
or "allocate" a new device from any spares that may be available in the
volume group. The action is designated by setting 'raid_fault_policy' in
lvm.conf - the default being "warn".
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
Example:
~> lvconvert --type raid1 vg/mirror_lv
Steps to convert "mirror" to "raid1"
1) Allocate a RAID metadata LV for each mirror image from the same PVs
on which they are located.
2) Clear the metadata LVs. This involves writing LVM metadata, so we don't
change any aspects of the mirror LV before this so that the user can easily
remove LVs from the failed convert attempt while retaining the original
mirror.
3) Remove the mirror log, if it exists.
4) Add metadata LVs to mirror LV
5) Rename mirror sub-lvs (s/mimage/rimage/)
6) Change flags and segtype from mirror to raid1
Example:
~> lvconvert --type raid1 -m 1 vg/lv
The following steps are performed to convert linear to RAID1:
1) Allocate a metadata device from the same PV as the linear device
to provide the metadata/data LV pair required for all RAID components.
2) Allocate the required number of metadata/data LV pairs for the
remaining additional images.
3) Clear the metadata LVs. This performs a LVM metadata update.
4) Create the top-level RAID LV and add the component devices.
We want to make any failure easy to unwind. This is why we don't create the
top-level LV and add the components until the last step. Should anything
happen before that, the user could simply remove the unnecessary images. Also,
we want to ensure that the metadata LVs are cleared before forming the array to
prevent stale information from polluting the new array.
A new macro 'seg_is_linear' was added to allow us to distinguish linear LVs
from striped LVs.
~> 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.
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().
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).

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
mixes adding and removing, it is impossible to decern exactly what the
user wants.

An incorrect fix on July 13, 2010 for an annoyance has caused a regression.
The offending check-in was part of the 2.02.71 release of LVM. That
check-in caused any PVs specified on the command line to be ignored when
performing a mirror split.
This patch reverses the aforementioned check-in (solving the regressions)
and posits a new solution to the list reversal problem. The original
problem was that we would always take the lowest mimage LVs from a mirror
when performing a split, but what we really want is to take the highest
mimage LVs. This patch accomplishes that by working through the list in
reverse order - choosing the higher numbered mimages first. (This also
reduces the amount of processing necessary.)

In the second patch, the target type of mirrored log is replaced with
error target when remove_log is set to 1, but this procedure should be
also used in other cases such as the number of mirror leg is 1. This
patch relocates the procedure to the main path.
In addition, I added following three changes.
- Removed tmp_orphan_lvs handling procedure
It seems that _delete_lv() can handle detached_log_lv properly
without adding mirror legs in mirrored log to tmp_orphan_lvs.
Therefore, I removed the procedure.
- Removed vg_write()/vg_commit()
Metadata is saved by vg_write()/vg_commit() just after detached_log_lv
is handled. Therefore, I removed vg_write()/vg_commit().
- With Jon's second patch, we think that we don't have to call
remove_mirror_log() in _lv_update_mirrored_log() because will be
handled remove_mirror_images() in _lvconvert_mirrors_repaire().

The cluster log daemon (cmirrord) is not multi-threaded and
can handle only one request at a time. When a log is stacked
on top of a mirror (which itself contains a 'core' log), it
creates a situation that cannot be solved without threading.
When the top level mirror issues a "resume", the log daemon
attempts to read from the log device to retrieve the log
state. However, the log is a mirror which, before issuing
the read, attempts to determine the 'sync' status of the
region of the mirror which is to be read. This sync status
request cannot be completed by the daemon because it is
blocked on a read I/O to the very mirror requesting the
sync status.
With mirror_log_fault_policy of 'remove' and mirror_image_fault_policy
of 'allocate', the log type of the mirror volume is converted from
'disk' or 'mirrored' to 'core' when all mirror legs but one in a mirror
volume broke.

When splitting off mirror images from a mirror, we always take
LVs from the end of a list. For example, if the mirror sub-devices
are lv_mimage_[012], we should select lv_mimage_2 if splitting off
one image. However, lv_mimage_0 was being selected instead.
The problem came from calling '_move_removable_mimages_to_end'
when it was unnecessary to do so. When the user /does/ specify
specific devices to be removed, this function properly moved the
appropriate LVs to the end of the list for extraction. However,
if the user /doesn't/ give any specific PVs, the function should
do nothing. '_move_removable_mimages_to_end' was keying off of
whether 'removable_pvs' was NULL or not and this value was
improperly being populated with the set of all available PVs.
This was causing '_move_removable_mimages_to_end' to completely
reverse the list, which in turn caused us to extract the
hithertofore front-of-the-list LVs.
An unhandled condition allowed the command to terminate
cleanly without a warning. Added a check for the
'--splitmirrors' argument to allow execution to the lower
level function that has the check to see if the user is
trying to split a linear device. You should now see a
message if you try to use --splitmirrors on a linear device.
Rather than attempting to remove all the images of a mirrored
log volume via remove_mirror_images, simply remove the log
if all its devices have failed.
Taka was the first to report that there is still an outstanding

Add a merging snapshot to the deptree, using the "error" target, rather
than avoid adding it entirely. This allows proper cleanup of the -cow
device without having to rename the -cow to use the origin's name as a
prefix.
Move the preloading of the origin LV, after a merge, from
lv_remove_single() to vg_remove_snapshot(). Having vg_remove_snapshot()
preload the origin allows the -cow device to be released so that it can
be removed via deactivate_lv(). lv_remove_single()'s deactivate_lv()
reliably removes the -cow device because the associated snapshot LV,
that is to be removed when a snapshot-merge completes, is always added
to the deptree (and kernel -- via "error" target).
Now when the snapshot LV is removed both the -cow and -real devices
get removed using uuid rather than device name. This paves the way
for us to switch over to info-by-uuid queries.

Switch lvconvert's --merge code over to using process_each_lv(). Doing
so adds support for a single 'lvconvert --merge' to start merging
multiple LVs (which includes @tag expansion).
Add 'lvconvert --merge @tag' testing to test/t-snapshot-merge.sh
Adjust man/lvconvert.8.in to reflect these expanded capabilities.
The lvconvert.c implementation requires rereading the VG each iteration
of process_each_lv(). Otherwise a stale VG instance associated with
the LV passed to lvconvert_single_merge() would result in stale VG
metadata being written back out to disk. This overwrote new metadata
that was written when a previous snapshot LV finished merging (via
lvconvert_poll). This is only an issue when merging multiple LVs that
share the same VG (a single VG is typical for most LVM configurations on
system disks).
In the end this new support is very useful for performing a "system
rollback" that requires multiple snapshot LVs be merged to their
respective origin LV.
The yum-utils 'fs-snapshot' plugin tags all snapshot LVs that it creates
with a common 'snapshot_tag' that is unique to the yum transaction.
Rolling back a yum transaction, that created LVM snapshots with the tag

is a disk log, the new leg is added by stacking a new mirror on
top of the old (one leg is the old mirror and the other leg is the newly
added device). When the log is a 'core' log, the new leg is simply added
to the existing mirror and all the devices are re-synced.
The logic that handles collapsing the stacked 'disk' log mirror was
having the effect of causing 'core' logged mirrors to begin resync'ing
for a second time. I have used the 'CONVERTING' flag to indicate that
a mirror is converting by way of stacking. This is no longer set for
up-converting core logs. The final 'collapse' logic can safely be skipped
for 'core' log mirrors - getting rid of the second resync.

Pass 'lv' from dev_manager_snapshot_percent() to _percent() to
_percent_run(). _percent_run() always dereferenced 'lv' (when
initializing segh) even though it may have been NULL (as was the case
until now for dev_manager_snapshot_percent()).
If a "snapshot-origin" LV (snapshot-merge whose merge was deferred
becuase it was open) was passed to _percent_run() it would always return
100%.
Update _percent_run() to NOT return PERCENT_100 et. al. if
->target_percent() wasn't ever called and supplied 'lv' is a merging
origin. A default return of 100% does not work for snapshot-merge.
Also tweak a related lvconvert log_error() to include "Aborting merge."
If either the origin or snapshot that is to be merged is open the merge
will not start; only the merge metadata will be written. The merge will
start on the next activation of the origin (or via lvchange --refresh)
IFF both the origin and snapshot are closed.
Merge on activate is particularly important if we want to merge over a
mounted filesystem that cannot be unmounted (until next boot) --- for

It is pretty much the same as reducing the number of
mirror legs, but we just don't delete them afterwards.
The following command line interface is enforced:
prompt> lvconvert --splitmirror <n> -n <name> <VG>/<LV>
where 'n' is the number of images to split off, and
where 'name' is the name of the newly split off logical volume.
If more than one leg is split off, a new mirror will be the
result. The newly split off mirror will have a 'core' log.

The default log option for a mirror is 'disk'. If the log
type is not explicitly stated on the command line when
converting from an X-way mirror to a Y-way mirror, 'disk'
is chosen. So, if you have a 'core' log mirror and you
convert, your result will contain a 'disk' log.
This patch remembers what the old log type was. If the
user is merely trying to switch the number of mirror
images, the log type is now kept the same.
There is one historical behaviour I left in place...
If you have a 2-way, core-log mirror and you use lvconvert to
specify you want a 2-way mirror - without specifying the
log type - you will get a 2-way, disk-log mirror.

The logic was that lvconvert repair volumes, marking
PV as MISSING and following vgreduce --removemissing
removes these missing devices.
Previously dmeventd mirror DSO removed all LV and PV
from VG by simply relying on
vgreduce --removemissing --force.
Now, there are two subsequent calls:
lvconvert --repair --use-policies
vgreduce --removemissing
So the VG is locked twice, opening space for all races
between other running lvm processes. If the PV reappears
with old metadata on it (so the winner performs autorepair,
if locking VG for update) the situation is even worse.
Patch simply adds removemissing PV functionality into
lvconcert BUT ONLY if running with --repair and --use-policies
and removing only these empty missing PVs which are
involved in repair.
(This combination is expected to run only from dmeventd.)

When mirror convert polling is started (mainly as backgound process,
in lvchange -a y or in lvconvert itself) it tries to read VG
and LV identified by its name.
Unfortunatelly, the VG can have already different LV under the same name,
and various more or less funny things can happen (note that
_finish_lvconvert_mirror suspends the volume for example).
(the typical example is our testing script which continuously recreates
LVs under the same name in the same VG.)
This patch adds optional uuid parameter which helps to properly
select the monitoring object. For lvconvert polling it is set to LV UUID
and both _get_lvconvert_vg and _get_lvconvert_lv uses it to read proper VG/LV.
(In the pvmove case it is NULL, here we poll for physical volume name).
The snapshot segment (snapshotX) is created twice
during the text metadata segment processing.
This can cause temporary violation of max_lv count.
Simplify the code, snapshot segment is properly initialized
in init_snapshot_seg function now and do not need to be replaced
by vg_add_snapshot call.
The vg_add_snapshot() is now usefull only for adding new
snapshot and it shares the same initialization function.
The snapshot name is always generated, name paramater can be
removed from function call.
The backup() call store metadata from memory.
But in cluster backup() call performs
remote nodes metadata backup and it reads data from disk.
For metadata backup consistency,
patch moves all backup() calls after vg_commit.
(Moreover, some tools already do that this way.)

Add some missing validation of VG names.

an up-convert will always force a complete resync.
log type. Previously, we had a '--corelog' argument that
would change the default type from 'disk' to 'core'. I
think that creates too much confusion - especially when
doing conversions on mirrors.
The new argument '--log' takes either "disk" or "core"
as a parameter. This could be expanded in the future
for additional logging types as well.
Examples:
# Creating a 2-way mirror
$> lvcreate -m1 ... # implicitly use default disk logging
$> lvcreate -m1 --log disk ... # explicit disk logging
$> lvcreate -m1 --log core ... # specify core logging
$> lvcreate -m1 --corelog ... # old way still works
# Conversion examples
$> lvconvert --log core ... # convert to core logging
$> lvconvert --log disk ... # convert to disk logging
$> lvconvert -mX --corelog ... # old way still works
$> lvconvert -mX ... # old way of converting to disk logging still works
