For example, the old call and reference:
find_config_tree_str(cmd, "devices/dir", DEFAULT_DEV_DIR)
...now becomes:
find_config_tree_str(cmd, devices_dir_CFG)
So we're referring to the named configuration ID instead
of passing the configuration path and the default value
is taken from central config definition in config_settings.h
automatically.
The PV header extension information (PV header extension version, flags
and list of Embedding Area locations) is stored just beyond the PV header base.
When calculating the Embedding Area start value (ea_start), the same logic is
used as when calculating the pe_start value for Data Area - the value must
follow exactly the same alignment restrictions for its start value
(the alignment detected automatically or provided via command line using
the --dataalignment and --dataalignmentoffset arguments).
The Embedding Area is placed at the very start of the PV, starting at
ea_start. The Data Area starting at pe_start is placed next. The pe_start is
still properly aligned. Due to the pe_start alignment, it's possible that the
resulting Embedding Area size (ea_size) ends up bigger in size than requested
(but never less than requested).
New tools with PV header extension support will read the extension
if it exists and it's not an error if it does not exist (so old PVs
will still work seamlessly with new tools).
Old tools without PV header extension support will just ignore any
extension.
As for the Embedding Area location information (its start and size),
there are actually two places where this is stored:
- PV header extension
- VG metadata
The VG metadata contains a copy of what's written in the PV header
extension about the Embedding Area location (NULL value is not copied):
physical_volumes {
pv0 {
id = "AkSSRf-difg-fCCZ-NjAN-qP49-1zzg-S0Fd4T"
device = "/dev/sda" # Hint only
status = ["ALLOCATABLE"]
flags = []
dev_size = 262144 # 128 Megabytes
pe_start = 67584
pe_count = 23 # 92 Megabytes
ea_start = 2048
ea_size = 65536 # 32 Megabytes
}
}
The new metadata fields are "ea_start" and "ea_size".
This is mostly useful when restoring the PV by using existing
metadata backups (e.g. pvcreate --restorefile ...).
New tools does not require these two fields to exist in VG metadata,
they're not compulsory. Therefore, reading old VG metadata which doesn't
contain any Embedding Area information will not end up with any kind
of error but only a debug message that the ea_start and ea_size values
were not found.
Old tools just ignore these extra fields in VG metadata.
PV header extension comes just beyond the existing PV header base:
PV header base (existing):
- uuid
- device size
- null-terminated list of Data Areas
- null-terminater list of MetaData Areas
PV header extension:
- extension version
- flags
- null-terminated list of Embedding Areas
This patch also adds "eas" (Embedding Areas) list to lvmcache (lvmcache_info)
and it also adds support for common operations on the list (just like for
already existing "das" - Data Areas list):
- lvmcache_add_ea
- lvmcache_update_eas
- lvmcache_foreach_ea
- lvmcache_del_eas
Also, add ea_start and ea_size to struct physical_volume for processing
PV Embedding Area location throughout the code (currently only one
Embedding Area is supported, though the definition on disk allows for
more if needed in the future...).
Also, define FMT_EAS format flag to mark that the format actually
supports Embedding Areas (currently format-text only).
Extract restorable PV creation parameters from struct pvcreate_params into
a separate struct pvcreate_restorable_params for clarity and also for better
maintainability when adding any new items later.
Use the field 'origin' for reporting external origin lv name.
For thin volumes with external origin, report the size of
external origin size via:
lvs -o+origin_size
If zero metadata copies are used, there's no further recalculation of
PV alignment that happens when adding metadata areas to the PV and
which actually calculates the alignment correctly as a matter of fact.
So fix this for "PV without MDA" case as well.
Before this patch:
[1] raw/~ # pvcreate --dataalignment 8m --dataalignmentoffset 4m
--metadatacopies 1 /dev/sda
Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
[1] raw/~ # pvs -o pv_name,pe_start
PV 1st PE
/dev/sda 12.00m
[1] raw/~ # pvcreate --dataalignment 8m --dataalignmentoffset 4m
--metadatacopies 0 /dev/sda
Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
[1] raw/~ # pvs -o pv_name,pe_start
PV 1st PE
/dev/sda 8.00m
After this patch:
[1] raw/~ # pvcreate --dataalignment 8m --dataalignmentoffset 4m
--metadatacopies 1 /dev/sda
Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
[1] raw/~ # pvs -o pv_name,pe_start
PV 1st PE
/dev/sda 12.00m
[1] raw/~ # pvcreate --dataalignment 8m --dataalignmentoffset 4m
--metadatacopies 0 /dev/sda
Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
[1] raw/~ # pvs -o pv_name,pe_start
PV 1st PE
/dev/sda 12.00m
Also, remove a superfluous condition "pv->pe_start < pv->pe_align" in:
if (pe_start == PV_PE_START_CALC && pv->pe_start < pv->pe_align)
pv->pe_start = pv->pe_align ...
This part of the condition is not reachable as with the PV_PE_START_CALC,
we always have pv->pe_start set to 0 from the PV struct initialisation
(...the pv->pe_start value is just being calculated).
When a device fails, we may wish to replace those segments with an
error segment. (Like when a 'vgreduce --removemissing' removes a
failed device that happens to be a RAID image/meta.) We are then left
with images that we will eventually want to remove or replace.
This patch allows us to pull out these virtual "error" sub-LVs. This
allows a user to 'lvconvert -m -1 vg/lv' to extract the bad sub-LVs.
Sub-LVs with error segments are considered for extraction before other
possible devices so that good devices are not accidentally removed.
This patch also adds the ability to replace RAID images that contain error
segments. The user will still be unable to run 'lvconvert --replace'
because there is no way to address the 'error' segment (i.e. no PV
that it is associated with). However, 'lvconvert --repair' can be
used to replace the image's error segment with a new PV. This is also
the most appropriate way to do it, since the LV will continue to be
reported as 'partial'.
Currently it is impossible to remove a failed PV which has a RAID LV
on it. This patch fixes the issue by replacing the failed PV with an
'error' segment within the affected sub-LVs. Once there is no longer
a RAID LV using the PV, it can be removed.
Most often, it is better to replace a failed RAID device with a spare.
(You can use 'lvconvert --repair <vg>/<LV>' to accomplish that.)
However, if there are no spares in the volume group and none will be
added, it is useful to be able to removed the failed device.
Following patches address the ability to perform 'lvconvert' operations
on RAID LVs that contain sub-LVs composed of 'error' segments.
We have been using 'mirror_region_size' in lvm.conf as the default region
size for RAID logical volumes as well as mirror logical volumes. Since,
"raid" is more inclusive and representative than "mirror", I have changed
the name of this setting. We must still check for the old setting and warn
the user if we are overriding it with the new setting if both happen to be
present.
This internal function check for active pool device.
For cluster it checks every thin volume,
On the non-clustered VG we need to check just
for presence of -tpool device.
There are currently a few issues with the reporting done on RAID LVs and
sub-LVs. The most concerning is that 'lvs' does not always report the
correct failure status of individual RAID sub-LVs (devices). This can
occur when a device fails and is restored after the failure has been
detected by the kernel. In this case, 'lvs' would report all devices are
fine because it can read the labels on each device just fine.
Example:
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvs -a -o name,vg_name,attr,copy_percent,devices vg
LV VG Attr Cpy%Sync Devices
lv vg rwi-a-r-- 100.00 lv_rimage_0(0),lv_rimage_1(0)
[lv_rimage_0] vg iwi-aor-- /dev/sda1(1)
[lv_rimage_1] vg iwi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(1)
[lv_rmeta_0] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sda1(0)
[lv_rmeta_1] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(0)
However, 'dmsetup status' on the device tells us a different story:
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# dmsetup status vg-lv
0 1024000 raid raid1 2 DA 1024000/1024000
In this case, we must also be sure to check the RAID LVs kernel status
in order to get the proper information. Here is an example of the correct
output that is displayed after this patch is applied:
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvs -a -o name,vg_name,attr,copy_percent,devices vg
LV VG Attr Cpy%Sync Devices
lv vg rwi-a-r-p 100.00 lv_rimage_0(0),lv_rimage_1(0)
[lv_rimage_0] vg iwi-aor-p /dev/sda1(1)
[lv_rimage_1] vg iwi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(1)
[lv_rmeta_0] vg ewi-aor-p /dev/sda1(0)
[lv_rmeta_1] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(0)
The other case where 'lvs' gives incomplete or improper output is when a
device is replaced or added to a RAID LV. It should display that the RAID
LV is in the process of sync'ing and that the new device is the only one
that is not-in-sync - as indicated by a leading 'I' in the Attr column.
(Remember that 'i' indicates an (i)mage that is in-sync and 'I' indicates
an (I)mage that is not in sync.) Here's an example of the old incorrect
behaviour:
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvs -a -o name,vg_name,attr,copy_percent,devices vg
LV VG Attr Cpy%Sync Devices
lv vg rwi-a-r-- 100.00 lv_rimage_0(0),lv_rimage_1(0)
[lv_rimage_0] vg iwi-aor-- /dev/sda1(1)
[lv_rimage_1] vg iwi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(1)
[lv_rmeta_0] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sda1(0)
[lv_rmeta_1] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(0)
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvconvert -m +1 vg/lv; lvs -a -o name,vg_name,attr,copy_percent,devices vg
LV VG Attr Cpy%Sync Devices
lv vg rwi-a-r-- 0.00 lv_rimage_0(0),lv_rimage_1(0),lv_rimage_2(0)
[lv_rimage_0] vg Iwi-aor-- /dev/sda1(1)
[lv_rimage_1] vg Iwi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(1)
[lv_rimage_2] vg Iwi-aor-- /dev/sdc1(1)
[lv_rmeta_0] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sda1(0)
[lv_rmeta_1] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(0)
[lv_rmeta_2] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sdc1(0) ** Note that all the images currently are marked as 'I' even though it is
only the last device that has been added that should be marked.
Here is an example of the correct output after this patch is applied:
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvs -a -o name,vg_name,attr,copy_percent,devices vg
LV VG Attr Cpy%Sync Devices
lv vg rwi-a-r-- 100.00 lv_rimage_0(0),lv_rimage_1(0)
[lv_rimage_0] vg iwi-aor-- /dev/sda1(1)
[lv_rimage_1] vg iwi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(1)
[lv_rmeta_0] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sda1(0)
[lv_rmeta_1] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(0)
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvconvert -m +1 vg/lv; lvs -a -o name,vg_name,attr,copy_percent,devices vg
LV VG Attr Cpy%Sync Devices
lv vg rwi-a-r-- 0.00 lv_rimage_0(0),lv_rimage_1(0),lv_rimage_2(0)
[lv_rimage_0] vg iwi-aor-- /dev/sda1(1)
[lv_rimage_1] vg iwi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(1)
[lv_rimage_2] vg Iwi-aor-- /dev/sdc1(1)
[lv_rmeta_0] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sda1(0)
[lv_rmeta_1] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(0)
[lv_rmeta_2] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sdc1(0)
** Note only the last image is marked with an 'I'. This is correct and we can
tell that it isn't the whole array that is sync'ing, but just the new
device.
It also works under snapshots...
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvs -a -o name,vg_name,attr,copy_percent,devices vg

snap vg swi-a-s-- /dev/sda1(51201)
fmt1 doesn't have a separate commit function: updates take effect
immediately vg_write is called, so we must update lvmetad at this
point if we're going to go on and ask lvmetad for the VG metadata
again before calling the commit function (though that's probably an
unsupported and pointless thing to do anyway as the client must
already have that data and it cannot have changed because it's locked
and with devs suspended we shouldn't be communicating with lvmetad;
so when that's fixed properly, this fix here can be reverted).
This problem showed up as an internal error when lvremoving an LVM1
snapshot.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/891855
If a RAID array is not in-sync, replacing devices should not be allowed
as a general rule. This is because the contents used to populate the
incoming device may be undefined because the devices being read where
not in-sync. The kernel enforces this rule unless overridden by not
allowing the creation of an array that is not in-sync and includes a
devices that needs to be rebuilt.
Since we cannot know the sync state of an LV if it is inactive, we must
also enforce the rule that an array must be active to replace devices.
That leaves us with the following conditions:
1) never allow replacement or repair of devices if the LV is in-active
2) never allow replacement if the LV is not in-sync
3) allow repair if the LV is not in-sync, but warn that contents may
not be recoverable.
In the case where a user is performing the repair on the command line via
'lvconvert --repair', the warning is printed before the user is prompted
if they would like to replace the device(s). If the repair is automated
(i.e. via dmeventd and policy is "allocate"), then the device is replaced
if possible and the warning is printed.
If the lvmcache_info_from_pvid() fails to find valid
info, invoke the lookup by dev, and only in this case
call lvmcache_info_from_pvid() again.
Also check for the result of info and return
error directly, so the NULL is not passed
to lvmcache_get_label().
Commit bf2741376d started to use
lv_is_active() instead of call for lv_info & info.exists so
we cover also cluster activated devices.
For snapshost the conversion was not correct and introduced
regression by blocking creation of snapshot of inactive LV.
Fix it by assigning lv_is_active() directly.
Note: we still have minor issue to fix - to make
lv_is_???? function able to return error states since
lv_info() may fail.
Target tells us its version, and we may allow different set of options
to be supported with different version of driver.
Idea is to provide individual feature flags and later be
able to query for them.
The 'copy_percent' function takes the 'extents_copied' field from each
segment in an LV to create the numerator for the ratio that is to
become the copy_percent. (Otherwise known as the 'sync' percent for
non-pvmove uses, like mirror LVs and RAID LVs.) This function safely
works on RAID - not just mirrors - so it is better to have it in
lv_manip.c rather than mirror.c.
There's a lot of different functions that do a lot of different things
in lv_manip.c, so I placed the function near a function in lv_manip.c
that it was close to in metadata-exported.h. Different placement in the
file or a different name for the function may be useful.
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.
A message is printed when the region_size of a RAID LV is adjusted
to allow for large (> ~1TB) LVs. The message wasn't very clear.
Hopefully, this is better.
It would be possible to activate a RAID LV exclusively in a cluster
volume group, but for now we do not allow RAID LVs to exist in a
clustered volume group at all. This has two components:
1) Do not allow RAID LVs to be created in a clustered VG
2) Do not allow changing a VG from single-machine to clustered
if there are RAID LVs present.
MD's bitmaps can handle 2^21 regions at most. The RAID code has always
used a region_size of 1024 sectors. That means the size of a RAID LV was
limited to 1TiB. (The user can adjust the region_size when creating a
RAID LV, which can affect the maximum size.) Thus, creating, extending or
converting to a RAID LV greater than 1TiB would result in a failure to
load the new device-mapper table.
Again, the size of the RAID LV is not limited by how much space is allocated
for the metadata area, but by the limitations of the MD bitmap. Therefore,
we must adjust the 'region_size' to ensure that the number of regions does
not exceed the limit. I've added code to do this when extending a RAID LV
(which covers 'create' and 'extend' operations) and when up-converting -
specifically from linear to RAID1.
We were using daemon_send_simple until now, but it is no longer adequate, since
we need to manipulate requests in a generic way (adding a validity token to each
request), and the tree-based request interface is much more suitable for this.
Don't try to issue discards to a missing PV to avoid segfault.
Prevent lvremove from removing LVs that have any part missing.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/857554
Failing to clear the LV_NOTSYNCED flag when converting a RAID1 LV to
linear can result in the flag being present after an upconvert - even
if the sync is performed when upconverting.
Mirrors do not allow upconverting if the LV has been created with --nosync.
We will enforce the same rule for RAID1. It isn't hugely critical, since
the portions that have been written will be copied over to the new device
identically from either of the existing images. However, the unwritten
sections may be different, causing the added image to be a hybrid of the
existing images.
Also, we are disallowing the addition of new images to a RAID1 LV that has
not completed the initial sync. This may be different from mirroring, but
that is due to the fact that the 'mirror' segment type "stacks" when adding
a new image and RAID1 does not. RAID1 will rebuild a newly added image
"inline" from the existant images, so they should be in-sync.
We cannot add images to a RAID array while it is not in-sync. The
kernel will simply reject the table, saying:
'rebuild' specified while array is not in-sync
Now we check to ensure the LV is in-sync before attempting image
additions.
It is necessary when creating a RAID LV to clear the new metadata areas.
Failure to do so could result in a prepopulated bitmap that would cause
the new array to skip syncing portions of the array. It is a requirement
that the metadata LVs be activated and cleared in the process of creating.
However in test mode, this requirement should be lifted - no new LVs should
be created or written to.
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.
This patch adds support for RAID10. It is not the default at this
stage. The user needs to specify '--type raid10' if they would like
RAID10 instead of stacked mirror over stripe.
Adding couple INTERNAL_ERROR reports for unwanted parameters:
Ensure the 'top' metadata node cannot be NULL for lvmetad.
Make obvious vginfo2 cannot be NULL.
Report internal error if handler and vg is undefined.
Check for handle in poll_vg().
Ensure seg is not NULL in dev_manager_transient().
Report missing read_ahead for _lv_read_ahead_single().
Check for report handler in dm_report_object().
Check missing VG in _vgreduce_single().
Respond with "unknown" rather than a NULL pointer if there's an
internal error and the discard value is invalid.
Don't accept 'no_passdown' or 'no-passdown' variants in the LVM
metadata: this is written by the program so should only ever contain
"nopassdown" and should be validated strictly against that.
Commit 8767435ef8 allowed RAID 4/5/6
LV to be extended properly, but introduced a regression in device
replacement - a critical component of fault tolerance.
When only 1 or 2 drives are being replaced, the 'area_count' needed
can be equal to the parity_count. The 'area_multiple' for RAID 4/5/6
was computed as 'area_count - parity_devs', which could result in
'area_multiple' being 0. This would ultimately lead to a division by
zero error. Therefore, in calc_area_multiple, it is important to take
into account the number of areas that are being requested - just as
we already do in _alloc_init.
Add arg support for discard.
Add discard ignore, nopassdown, passdown (=default) support.
Flags could be set per pool.
lvcreate [--discard {ignore|no_passdown|passdown}] vg/thinlv
Reducing a RAID 4/5/6 LV or extending it with a different number of
stripes is still not implemented. This patch covers the "simple" case
where the LV is extended with the same number of stripes as the orginal.
If _alloc_parallel_area for raid devices chooses an area already used
up, it doesn't notice that it has no space left in it and leaves
later code trying to place a zero-length area into the LV.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/832596
One can use "lvcreate --aay" to have the newly created volume
activated or not activated based on the activation/auto_activation_volume_list
this way.
Note: -Z/--zero is not compatible with -aay, zeroing is not used in this case!
When using lvcreate -aay, a default warning message is also issued that zeroing
is not done.
Define an 'activation_handler' that gets called automatically on
PV appearance/disappearance while processing the lvmetad_pv_found
and lvmetad_pv_gone functions that are supposed to update the
lvmetad state based on PV availability state. For now, the actual
support is for PV appearance only, leaving room for PV disappearance
support as well (which is a more complex problem to solve as this
needs to count with possible device stack).
Add a new activation change mode - CHANGE_AAY exposed as
'--activate ay/-aay' argument ('activate automatically').
Factor out the vgchange activation functionality for use in other
tools (like pvscan...).
We're refererring to 'activation' all over the code and we're talking
about 'LVs being activated' all the time so let's use 'activation/activate'
everywhere for clarity and consistency (still providing the old
'available' keyword as a synonym for backward compatibility with
existing environments).
Update release_lv_segment_area not to discard any PV extents,
as it also gets used when moving extents between LVs.
Instead, call a new function release_and_discard_lv_segment_area() in
the two places where data should be discarded - lv_reduce() and
remove_mirrors_from_segments().
When mirrors are up-converted, a transient mirror layer is put in so that
only the new devices are sync'ed. That transient layer must carry the tags
of the original mirror LV, otherwise it will fail to activate when activation
is regulated by lvm.conf:activation/volume_list. The conversion would then
fail.
The fix is to do exactly the same thing that is being done for linear ->
mirror converting (lib/metadata/mirror.c:_init_mirror_log()). We copy the
tags temporarily for the new LV and remove them after the activation.
Snapshots of RAID logical volumes are allowed (including "raid1"). However,
snapshots of "mirror" logical volumes has been disallowed due to unsolvable
issues inherent to the design. The fact that mirroring (dm-raid1.c) must
stop all I/O as the result of a failure and wait for userspace intervention
can lead to a circular dependency if userspace is simultaneously waiting for
snapshots (on mirrors) to make an I/O update before proceeding.
Various snapshot on mirror tests have been removed as a result.
If two devices in an array failed, it was previously impossible to replace
just one of them. This patch allows for the replacement of some, but perhaps
not all, failed devices.
The logic for resuming the original and newly split LVs was not properly
done to handle situations where anything but the last device in the array
was split. It did not take into account the possible name collisions that
might occur when the original LV undergoes the shifting and renaming of its
sub-LVs.
In this case we should allow to use local mirror, check for cmirror
should apply only for lvconvert/lvcreate.
Introduced in 2.02.86 by removing !(lv->status & ACTIVATE_EXCL).
(Partially workaround, it is minimalistic patch for now.)
Code adds better support for monitoring of thin pool devices.
update_pool_lv uses DMEVENTD_MONITOR_IGNORE to not manipulate with monitoring.
vgchange & lvchange are checking real thin pool device for existance
as we are using _tpool real device and visible LV pool device might not
be even active (_tpool is activated implicitely for any thin volume).
monitor_dev_for_events is another _lv_postorder like code it might be worth
to think about reusing it here - for now update the code to properly
monitory thin volume deps.
For unmonitoring add extra code to check the usage of thin pool - in case it's in use
unmonitoring of thin volume is skipped.
