Do this at two levels, although one would be enough to
fix the problem seen recently:
- Ignore any reported sector size other than 512 of 4096.
If either sector size (physical or logical) is reported
as 512, then use 512. If neither are reported as 512,
and one or the other is reported as 4096, then use 4096.
If neither is reported as either 512 or 4096, then use 512.
- When rounding up a limited write in bcache to be a multiple
of the sector size, check that the resulting write size is
not larger than the bcache block itself. (This shouldn't
happen if the sector size is 512 or 4096.)
This is the default bcache size that is created at the
start of the command. It needs to be large enough to
hold a single copy of metadata for a given VG, or the
VG cannot be read or written (since the entire VG would
not fit into available memory.)
Increasing the default reduces the chances of anyone
needing to increase the default to use their VG.
The size can be set in lvm.conf global/io_memory_size;
the lower limit is 4 MiB and the upper limit is 128 MiB.
When a single copy of metadata gets within 1MB of the
current io_memory_size value, begin printing a warning
that the io_memory_size should be increased.
which defines the amount of memory that lvm will allocate
for bcache. Increasing this setting is required if it is
smaller than a single copy of VG metadata.
When no md devs are started, pvscan will only scan the start of
an md component, and if it has a superblock at the end may not
exclude it. udev may already have info identifying it as an
md component, so use that.
io_setup() for aio may fail if a system has reached the
aio request limit. In this case, fall back to using
sync io. Also, lvm use of aio can be disabled entirely
with config setting global/use_aio=0.
The system limit for aio requests can be seen from
/proc/sys/fs/aio-max-nr
The current usage of aio requests can be seen from
/proc/sys/fs/aio-nr
The system limit for aio requests can be increased by
setting fs.aio-max-nr using sysctl.
Also add last-byte limit to the sync io code.
lvm uses a bcache block size of 128K. A bcache block
at the end of the metadata area will overlap the PEs
from which LVs are allocated. How much depends on
alignments. When lvm reads and writes one of these
bcache blocks to update VG metadata, it can also be
reading and writing PEs that belong to an LV.
If these overlapping PEs are being written to by the
LV user (e.g. filesystem) at the same time that lvm
is modifying VG metadata in the overlapping bcache
block, then the user's updates to the PEs can be lost.
This patch is a quick hack to prevent lvm from writing
past the end of the metadata area.
The previous commit de2863739f
scan: use full md filter when md 1.0 devices are present
needs the use_full_md_check flag in the md filter, but
the cmd struct is not available when the filter is run,
so that commit wasn't working. Fix this by setting the
flag in a global variable.
(This was fixed in the master branch with commit 8eab37593
in which the cmd struct was passed to the filters, but it
was an intrusive change, so this commit is using the less
intrusive global variable.)
The md filter can operate in two native modes:
- normal: reads only the start of each device
- full: reads both the start and end of each device
md 1.0 devices place the superblock at the end of the device,
so components of this version will only be identified and
excluded when lvm uses the full md filter.
Previously, the full md filter was only used in commands
that could write to the device. Now, the full md filter
is also applied when there is an md 1.0 device present
on the system. This means the 'pvs' command can avoid
displaying md 1.0 components (at the cost of doubling
the i/o to every device on the system.)
(The md filter can operate in a third mode, using udev,
but this is disabled by default because there have been
problems with reliability of the info returned from udev.)
For 'pvscan --cache' avoid using dev_iter in the loop
after the label_scan by passing the necessary devs back
from the label_scan for the continued pvscan.
The dev_iter functions reapply the filters which will
trigger more io when we don't need or want it. With
many devs, incidental opens from the filters (not controlled
by the label scan) can lead to too many open files.
When vgcreate does an automatic pvcreate, it opens the
dev with O_EXCL to ensure no other subsystem is using
the device. This exclusive fd remained in bcache and
prevented activation parts of lvm from using the dev.
This appeared with vgcreate of a sanlock VG because of
the unique combination where the dev is not yet a PV,
so pvcreate is needed, and the vgcreate also creates
and activates an internal LV for sanlock.
Fix this by closing the exclusive fd after it's used
by pvcreate so that it won't interfere with other
bits of lvm that may try to use the device.
Commit a30e622279:
"scan: work around udev problems by avoiding open RDWR"
had us reopen a device RDWR in the write function. Since
we know earlier that the command intends to write to devices
in the VG, we can reopen the VG's devices RDWR during the
rescan instead of waiting until the writes to happen.
udev creates a train wreck of events if we open devices
with RDWR. Until we can fix/disable/scrap udev, work around
this by opening RDONLY and then closing/reopening RDWR when
a write is needed. This invalidates the bcache blocks for
the device before writing so it can trigger unnecessary
rereading.
Remove the io error message from bcache.c since it is not
very useful without the device path.
Make the io error messages from dev_read_bytes/dev_write_bytes
more user friendly.
with the --labelsector option. We probably don't
need all this code to support any value for this
option; it's unclear how, when, why it would be
used.
Filters are still applied before any device reading or
the label scan, but any filter checks that want to read
the device are skipped and the device is flagged.
After bcache is populated, but before lvm looks for
devices (i.e. before label scan), the filters are
reapplied to the devices that were flagged above.
The filters will then find the data they need in
bcache.
Don't allow writes in test mode. test mode should be
more sophisticated than just faking writes, and this
should be a last defense for cases where test mode is
not being checked correctly.
In some odd cases (e.g. tests) there are very few devices
which results in creating too few blocks in bcache, so
create bcache with a minimum number of blocks.
