A cache LV - from LVM's perpective - is a user accessible device that
links the cachepool LV and the origin LV. The following functions
were added to facilitate the creation and removal of this top-level
LV:
1) 'lv_cache_create' - takes a cachepool and an origin device and links
them into a new top-level LV of 'cache' segment type. No allocation
is necessary in this function, as the sub-LVs contain all of the
necessary allocated space. Only the top-level layer needs to be
created.
2) 'lv_cache_remove' - this function removes the top-level LV of a
cache LV - promoting the cachepool and origin sub-LVs to top-level
devices and leaving them exposed to the user. That is, the
cachepool is unlinked and free to be used with another origin to
form a new cache LV; and the origin is no longer cached.
(Currently, if the cache needs to be flushed, it is done in this
function and the function waits for it to complete before proceeding.
This will be taken out in a future patch in favor of polling.)
Cache pools require a data and metadata area (like thin pools). Unlike
thin pool, if 'cache_pool_metadata_require_separate_pvs' is not set to
'1', the metadata and data area will be allocated from the same device.
It is also done in a manner similar to RAID, where a single chunk of
space is allocated and then split to form the metadata and data device -
ensuring that they are together.
Building on the new DM function that parses DM cache status, we
introduce the following LVM level functions to aquire information
about cache devices:
- lv_cache_block_info: retrieves information on the cache's block/chunk usage
- lv_cache_policy_info: retrieves information on the cache's policy
I am reverting the commit below - removing the new 'dm_config_get_int'
function and simply calling 'dm_config_get_uint32' while casting the
'int *' pointer parameter.

Misc: New function for reading lvm config file fields
Introduce 'dm_config_get_int', which will be used by the upcoming
cachepool segment type.
Avoid use of external origin with size unaligned/incompatible with
thin pool chunk size, since the last chunk is not correctly provisioned
when it is overwritten.
Since we are currently incapable of providing zeroes for
reextended thin volume area, let's disable extension of
such already reduce thin volumes.
(in-release change)
This patch adds the cache segment type - the second of two necessary
to create cache logical volumes. This segment type references the
cachepool (the small fast device) and the origin (the large slow device);
linking them to create the cache device. The cache device is the
hierarchical device-mapper device that the user ulitmately makes use
of.
The cache segment sources the information necessary to construct the
device-mapper cache target from the origin and cachepool segments to
which it links.
This patch adds the new cachepool segment type - the first of two
necessary to eventually create 'cache' logical volumes. In addition
to the new segment type, updates to makefiles, configure files, the
lv_segment struct, and some necessary libdevmapper flags.
The cachepool is the LV and corresponding segment type that will hold
all information pertinent to the cache itself - it's size, cachemode,
cache policy, core arguments (like migration_threshold), etc.
When lvm2 command forks, it calls reset_locking(),
which as an unwanted side effect unlinked lock file from filesystem.
Patch changes the behavior to just close locked file descriptor
in children - so the lock is being still properly hold in the parent.
Test LVM_LVMETAD_PIDFILE for pid for lvm command.
Fix WHATS_NEW envvar name usage
Fix init order in prepare_lvmetad to respect set vars
and avoid clash with system settings.
Update test to really test the 'is running' message.
Comparing for available feature missed the code path, when
maj is already bigger.
The bug would be only hit in the case, thin pool target would have
increased major version.
When thin volume is using external origin, current thin target
is not able to supply 'extended' size with empty pages.
lvm2 detects version and disables extension of LV past the external
origin size in this case.
Thin LV could be however still reduced and extended freely bellow
this size.
In preparation for other segment types that create and use "pools", we
s/create_thin_pool/create_pool/. This way it is not awkward when creating
a cachepool, for example, to use "create_thin_pool".
Functions that handle set-up, tear-down and creation of thin pool
volumes will be more generally applicable when more targets exist
that make use of device-mapper's persistent data format. One of
these targets is the dm-cache target. I've selected some functions
that will be useful for the cache segment type to be moved, since
they will no longer be thin pool specific but are more broadly
useful to any segment type that makes use of a 'pool' LV.
We need both offset and length when trying to wipe detected signatures.
The libblkid can fail so it's good to have an error message issued for
this state instead of being silent (libblkid does not issue any error
messages here). We just issued "stack" here before but that was not
quite useful if some error occurs...
Only flag thin LV for no scanning in udev if this LV is about
to be wiped. This happens only in case the thin LV's pool was not
created with zeroing of the new blocks enabled.
The size of any metadata must be ignored when calculating the size of an
orphan PV.

not use pv_read (get the PV from orphan VG).")
Block creations of archive and backup files for internal orphan VGs.
Bug introduced by 603b45e0ed ("pvresize: Do

DO NOT USE LVMETAD IF YOU HAVE ANY LVM1-FORMATTED PVS.
You may continue to use it without lvmetad, but do please schedule
an upgrade to the lvm2 format (with 'vgconvert').
Sending the original LVM1 formatted metadata to lvmetad is breaking
assumptions made by the code, so I am marking the format as obsolete for
now and no longer sending it to lvmetad.
This means that if you are using lvmetad, lvm1 volumes will usually
appear invisible - though not always: it depends on exactly what
sequence of commands you run!
The current situation is not satisfactory.
We'll either fix lvmetad and reenable this or we'll fix the code to
issue appropriate warning messages when lvm1 PVs are encountered
to avoid accidents.
(The latest unfixed problem is that lvmetad assumes metadata sequence
numbers exist and always increase - but the lvm1 format does not define
or store any sequence number, confusing both the daemon and client
when default values get passed to-and-fro.)
Several fields used to display 0 if undefined. Recent changes
to the way the fields are reported threw away some tests for
valid pointers, leading to segfaults with 'pvs -o all'.
Reinstate the original behaviour.
If a PV in an existing VG becomes orphaned (with 'pvcreate -ff', for
example) the VG struct cached against its vginfo must be invalidated.
This is because the struct device it references no longer contains
the PV label so becomes incorrect.
This triggers the error:
Internal error: PV $dev unexpectedly not in cache.
when the PV from the cached VG metadata is subsequently looked up
in the cache.

Make this code a bit more readable for Coverity as otherwise
it marks the "type" variable in the "_thin_pool_add_message" fn
as undefined for certain path (...which is normally unreachable anyway,
but let's clean this up).
Introduce FMT_OBSOLETE to identify pool metadata and use it and FMT_MDAS
instead of hard-coded format names.
Explain device accesses on pvscan --cache man page.
If there is no define for BLKPBSZGET - we have hard time how to
decrypt physical block size - we can't use here block_size,
since this is usually 4k while we need to use 512b.
FIXME: find some better way, until that enforce value 512.
Eventually we could also try to put in:
+#ifndef BLKPBSZGET
+# define BLKPBSZGET _IO(0x12,123)
+#endif
but this will still not work well on old kernels.
This reverts commit 24639be558.
Ok - seems we could be here a bit too active - and we
may remove devices which are unsuable for reasons we are not
aware of - thus taking down whole device could be way to big hammer.
So we still need some solution to recover from failing preload
and activation - but it needs more tunning.
When activation fails - we may leak large tree of partially loaded
devices in the dm table (i.e. failure in snapshot activation)
The best we can do here is try to deactivate whole device and
remove as much inactive table entries as we can.
When LV is scanned for its dependencies - scan also origin's snapshots,
and thin external origins.
So if any PV from snapshot or external origin device is missing - lvm2 will
avoid trying to activate such device.
The metadata/disk_areas setting was incorrectly registered as
"string" configuration option but it's a section where each area
is defined in its own subsection with "start_sector", "size" and "id"
setting.
This setting is not officialy supported, it's undocumented and it's
used solely for debugging.
Note: At this moment, it does not seem to be working with lvmetad!
When the device is inserted in dev_name_confirmed() stat() is
called twice as _insert() has it's own stat() call.
Extend _insert() parameter with struct stat* - which could be used
if it has been just obtained. When NULL is passed code is
doing its own stat() call as before.
Thin kernel target 1.9 still does not support online resize of
thin pool metadata properly - so disable it with expectation
for much higher version - and reenable after fixing kernel.
Replacement of pv_read by find_pv_by_name in commit

If we're calling pvcreate on a device that already has a PV label,
the blkid detects the existing PV and then we consider it for wiping
before we continue creating the new PV label and we issue a warning
with a prompt whether such old PV label should be removed. We don't
do this with native signature detection code. Let's make it consistent
with old behaviour.
But still keep this "PV" (identified as "LVM1_member" or "LVM2_member"
by blkid) detection when creating new LVs to avoid unexpected PV label
appeareance inside LV.
Collapse 2 ifs and replace log_error() with log_warn(), since\
the reported message is not causing tools error.
(and cannot be probably triggered anyway).
Optimize and cleanup recently introduced new function wipe_lv.
Use compound literals to get nicely initialized wipe_params struct.
Pass in lv as explicit argument for wipe_lv.
Use cmd from lv structure.
Initialize only non-null members so it's easy to see what
is the special arg.
Drop find_merging_snapshot() function. Use find_snapshot()
called after check for lv_is_merging_origin() which
is the commonly used code path - so we avoid duplicated
tests and potential risk of derefering NULL point
in unhandled error path.
This is actually the wipefs functionailty as a matter of fact
(wipefs uses the same libblkid calls).
libblkid is more rich when it comes to detecting various
signatures, including filesystems and users can better
decide what to erase and what should be kept.
The code is shared for both pvcreate (where wiping is necessary
to complete the pvcreate operation) and lvcreate where it's up
to the user to decide.
The verbose output contains a bit more information about the
signature like LABEL and UUID.
For example:
raw/~ # lvcreate -L16m vg
WARNING: linux_raid_member signature detected on /dev/vg/lvol0 at offset 4096. Wipe it? [y/n]
or more verbose one:
raw/~ # lvcreate -L16m vg -v
...
Found existing signature on /dev/vg/lvol0 at offset 4096: LABEL="raw.virt:0" UUID="da6af139-8403-5d06-b8c4-13f6f24b73b1" TYPE="linux_raid_member" USAGE="raid"
WARNING: linux_raid_member signature detected on /dev/vg/lvol0 at offset 4096. Wipe it? [y/n]
The verbose output is the same output as found in blkid.
Use common wipe_lv (former set_lv) fn to do zeroing as well as signature
wiping if needed. Provide new struct wipe_lv_params to define the
functionality.
Bind "lvcreate -W/--wipesignatures y" with proper wipe_lv call.
Also, add "yes" and "force" to lvcreate_params so it's possible
to apply them for the prompt: "WARNING: %s detected on %s. Wipe it? [y/n]".
The wipe_known_signatures fn now wraps the _wipe_signature fn that is called
for each known signature (currently md, swap and luks). This patch makes the
code more readable, not repeating the same sequence when used anywhere in the
code. We're going to reuse this code later...
If using lv/vgchange --sysinit -aay and lvmetad is enabled, we'd like to
avoid the direct activation and rely on autoactivation instead so
it fits system initialization scripts.
But if we're calling lv/vgchange --sysinit -aay too early when even
lvmetad service is not started yet, we just need to do the direct
activation instead without printing any error messages (while
trying to connect to lvmetad and not finding its socket).
This patch adds two helper functions - "lvmetad_socket_present" and
"lvmetad_used" which can be used to check for this condition properly
and avoid these lvmetad connections when the socket is not present
(and hence lvmetad is not yet running).
It will likely not fail to duplicate empty string, but
just keep the test of result of this function consistent.
Also on error path restore extent_size if in some
case someone would still use that variable.
Put common printf() case into a function and use
the string with text format as direct arg to make
the compile time validation of args easier and
code shorter.
Switch log_error() to log_warn(), since 'return 0'
doesn't cause any failure here.
Revert 4777eb6872 which put
target_present check into init_snapshot_merge(). However
this function is also used when parsing metadata. So we would
get this present test performed even when target is not really
needed. So move this target_present test directly into lvconvert.
The error buffer will stack error messages which is fine. However,
once you retrieve the error messages it doesn't make sense to keep
appending for each additional error message when running in the
context of a library call.
This patch clears and resets the buffer after the user retrieves
the error message.

All labellers always use the "private" (void *) field as the fmt pointer. Making
this fact explicit in the type of the labeller simplifies the label reporting
code which needs to extract the format. Moreover, it removes a number of
error-prone casts from the code.
Fix buggy usage of "" (empty string) as a numerical string
value used for sorting.
On intel 64b platform this was typically resolve
as 0xffffff0000000000 - which is already 'close' to
UINT64_MAX which is used for _minusone64.
On other platforms it might have been giving
different numbers depends on aligment of strings.
Use proper &_minusone64 for sorting value when the reported
value is NUM.
Note: each numerical value needs to be thought about if it needs
default value &_zero64 or &_minusone64 since for cases, were
value of zero is valid, sorting should not be mixing entries
together.
Add wrapper function for dm_report_field_set_value() which returns void

Add wrapper function for percent display _field_set_percent().
This patch fixes mostly cluster behavior but also updates
non-cluster reaction where calls like 'lvchange -aln'
lead to incorrect errors for some segment types.
Fix the implicit activation rules where some segment types could
be activated only in exclusive mode in cluster.
lvm2 command was not preserver 'local' property and incorrectly
converted local activations in to plain exclusive, so the local
activation could have activate volumes exclusively, but remotely.
If the volume_list filters out volume from activation,
it is still success result for this function.
Change the error message back to verbose level.
Detect if the volume is active localy before zeroing,
so we report error a bit later for cases, where volume
could not be activated because it doesn't pass through volume
list (but user still could create volume when he disables
zeroing)
Correct return code of activate_lv_excl().
Function is not supposed to return activation state of
activated volume, but return code of the operation.
Since i.e. when activation filter is allowing to activate
volume on current system, it is still success even though
no volume is activated.
There is a problem with the way mirrors have been designed to handle
failures that is resulting in stuck LVM processes and hung I/O. When
mirrors encounter a write failure, they block I/O and notify userspace
to reconfigure the mirror to remove failed devices. This process is
open to a couple races:
1) Any LVM process other than the one that is meant to deal with the
mirror failure can attempt to read the mirror, fail, and block other
LVM commands (including the repair command) from proceeding due to
holding a lock on the volume group.
2) If there are multiple mirrors that suffer a failure in the same
volume group, a repair can block while attempting to read the LVM
label from one mirror while trying to repair the other.
Mitigation of these races has been attempted by disallowing label reading
of mirrors that are either suspended or are indicated as blocking by
the kernel. While this has closed the window of opportunity for hitting
the above problems considerably, it hasn't closed it completely. This is
because it is still possible to start an LVM command, read the status of
the mirror as healthy, and then perform the read for the label at the
moment after a the failure is discovered by the kernel.
I can see two solutions to this problem:
1) Allow users to configure whether mirrors can be candidates for LVM
labels (i.e. whether PVs can be created on mirror LVs). If the user
chooses to allow label scanning of mirror LVs, it will be at the expense
of a possible hang in I/O or LVM processes.
2) Instrument a way to allow asynchronous label reading - allowing
blocked label reads to be ignored while continuing to process the LVM
command. This would action would allow LVM commands to continue even
though they would have otherwise blocked trying to read a mirror. They
can then release their lock and allow a repair command to commence. In
the event of #2 above, the repair command already in progress can continue
and repair the failed mirror.
This patch brings solution #1. If solution #2 is developed later on, the
configuration option created in #1 can be negated - allowing mirrors to
be scanned for labels by default once again.
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.
This patch reinstates the lv_info call to check for open count of
the LV we're removing/deactivating - this was changed with commit 125712b
some time ago and we relied on the ioctl retry logic deeper in the libdm
while calling the exact 'remove' ioctl.
However, there are still some situations in which it's still required to
check for open count before we do any 'remove' actions - this mainly
applies to LVs which consist of several sub LVs, like it is for
virtual snapshot devices.
The commit 1146691 fixed the issue with ordering of actions during
virtual snapshot removal while the snapshot is still open. But
the check for the open status of the snapshot is still prone to
marking the snapshot as in use with an immediate exit even though
this could be a temporary asynchronous open only, most notably
because of udev and its WATCH udev rule with accompanying scans
for the event which is asynchronous. The situation where this crops
up most often is when we're closing the LV that was open for read-write
and then calling lvremove immediately.
This patch reinstates the original lv_info call for the open status
of the LV in the lv_check_not_in_use fn that gets called before
we do any LV removal/deactivation. In addition to original logic,
this patch adds its own retry loop with a delay (25x0.2 seconds)
besides the existing ioctl retry loop.
Component LVs of a thinpool can be RAID LVs. Users who attempt a
scrubbing operation directly on a thinpool will be prompted to
specify the sub-LV they wish the operation to be performed on. If
neither of the sub-LVs are RAID, then a message telling them that
the operation can only be performed on a RAID LV will be given.
Split image should have an out-of-sync attr ('I') - always. Even if
the RAID LV has not been written to since the LV was split off, it is
still not part of the group that makes up the RAID and is therefore
"out-of-sync".
Since the virtual snapshot has no reason to stay alive once we
detach related snapshot - deactivate whole thing in front of
snapshot removal - otherwice the code would get tricky for
support in cluster.
The correct full solution would require to have transactions
for libdm operations.
Also enable to the check for snapshot being opened prior
the origin deactivation, otherwise we could easily end
with the origin being deactivate, but snapshot still kept
active, desynchronizing locking state in cluster.
Addendum to commit ce7489e which introduced a new *internal* LV_NOSCAN
flag and so it needs to be marked that way properly otherwise it
ends up unrecognized and improperly handled during metadata export.
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.
Accept --ignoreskippedcluster with pvs, vgs, lvs, pvdisplay, vgdisplay,
lvdisplay, vgchange and lvchange to avoid the 'Skipping clustered
VG' errors when requesting information about a clustered VG
without using clustered locking and still exit with success.
The messages can still be seen with -v.
Some code has been added recently which makes it impossible to compile
when "configure --disable-devmapper" is used. This patch just shuffles
the code around so it's under proper #ifdef DEVMAPPER_SUPPORT.
lib/metadata/lv_manip.c:_sufficient_pes_free() was calculating the
required space for RAID allocations incorrectly due to double
accounting. This resulted in failure to allocate when available
space was tight.
When RAID data and metadata areas are allocated together, the total
amount is stored in ah->new_extents and ah->alloc_and_split_meta is
set. '_sufficient_pes_free' was adding the necessary metadata extents
to ah->new_extents without ever checking ah->alloc_and_split_meta.
This often led to double accounting of the metadata extents. This
patch checks 'ah->alloc_and_split_meta' to perform proper calculations
for RAID.
This error is only present in the function that checks for the needed
space, not in the functions that do the actual allocation.
If "default" thin pool chunk size calculation method is selected,
use minimum_io_size, otherwise optimal_io_size for "performance"
device hint exposed in sysfs. If there appear to be PVs with
different hints presented, use their least common multiple.
If the hint is less than the default value defined for the
calculation method, use the default value instead.
Add allocation/thin_pool_chunk_size_calculation lvm.conf
option to select a method for calculating thin pool chunk
sizes and define two possible values - "default" and "performance".
A previous commit (b6bfddcd0a) which
was designed to prevent segfaults during lvextend when trying to
extend striped logical volumes forgot to include calculations for
RAID4/5/6 parity devices. This was causing the 'contiguous' and
'cling_by_tags' allocation policies to fail for RAID 4/5/6.
The solution is to remember that while we can compare
ah->area_count == prev_lvseg->area_count
for non-RAID, we should compare
(ah->area_count + ah->parity_count) == prev_lvseg->area_count
for a general solution.
When NULL info struct is passed in - function is usable
as a quick query for lv_is_active_locally() - with a bonus
we may query for layered device.
So it could be seen as a more efficient lv_is_active_locally().

metadata/lv_manip.c:4018: warning: ‘seg’ may be used uninitialized in
this function
But warning free compilation is better.
Creation, deletion, [de]activation, repair, conversion, scrubbing
and changing operations are all now available for RAID LVs in a
cluster - provided that they are activated exclusively.
The code has been changed to ensure that no LV or sub-LV activation
is attempted cluster-wide. This includes the often overlooked
operations of activating metadata areas for the brief time it takes
to clear them. Additionally, some 'resume_lv' operations were
replaced with 'activate_lv_excl_local' when sub-LVs were promoted
to top-level LVs for removal, clearing or extraction. This was
necessary because it forces the appropriate renaming actions the
occur via resume in the single-machine case, but won't happen in
a cluster due to the necessity of acquiring a lock first.
The *raid* tests have been updated to allow testing in a cluster.
For the most part, this meant creating devices with '-aey' if they
were to be converted to RAID. (RAID requires the converting LV to
be EX because it is a condition of activation for the RAID LV in
a cluster.)
When images and their associated metadata are removed from a RAID1 LV,
the remaining sub-LVs are "shifted" down to fill the gaps. For
example, if there is a 3-way mirror:
[0][1][2]
and we remove device#0, the devices will be shifted down
[1][2]
and renamed.
[0][1]
This can create a problem for resume_lv (specifically,
dm_tree_activate_children) during the renaming process though. This
is because it will attempt to rename the higher indexed sub-LVs first
and find that it cannot because there are currently other sub-LVs with
that name. The solution is to check for a conflicting name before
attempting to rename. If a conflict is found and that conflicting
sub-LV is also in the process of renaming, we can defer the current
rename until the conflicting sub-LV has renamed and cleared the
conflict.
Now that resume_lv can handle these types of rename conflicts, we can
remove the workaround in RAID that was attempting to resume a RAID1
LV from the bottom-up in order to force a proper rename in assending
order before attempting a resume on the top-level LV. This "hack"
only worked for single machine use-cases of LVM. Clearing this up
paves the way for exclusive activation of RAID LVs in a cluster.
Properly skip unmonitoring of thin pool volume in deactivation code
path. Code makes sure if there is just any thin pool user
it stays monitored with all its resources.
When the pool is created from non-linear target the more complex rules
have to be used and stacking needs to properly decode args for _tdata
LV. Also proper allocation policies are being used according to those
set in lvm2 metadata for data and metadata LVs.
Also properly check for active pool and extra code to active it
temporarily.
With this fix it's now possible to use:
lvcreate -L20 -m2 -n pool vg --alloc anywhere
lvcreate -L10 -m2 -n poolm vg --alloc anywhere
lvconvert --thinpool vg/pool --poolmetadata vg/poolm
lvresize -L+10 vg/pool
The pool metadata LV must be accounted for when determining what PVs
are in a thin-pool. The pool LV must also be accounted for when
checking thin volumes.
This is a prerequisite for pvmove working with thin types.
The function 'get_pv_list_for_lv' will assemble all the PVs that are
used by the specified LV. It uses 'for_each_sub_lv' to traverse all
of the sub-lvs which may compose it.
This is a regression caused by commit 3bd9048854.
The error message added with that commit "mpath major %d is not dm major %d" is
superfluous.
When scanning for mpath components, we're looking for a parent device.
But this parent device is not necessarily an mpath device (so the dm device)
if it exists - it can be any other device layered on top (e.g. an MD RAID device).

Split out the partitioned device filter that needs to open the device
and move the multipath filter in front of it.

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.
gcc -O2 v4.8 on 32 bit architecture is causing a bug in parameter
passing. It does not happen with -01 nor -O0.
The problematic part of the code was strlen use in config.c in
the config_def_check fn and the call for _config_def_check_tree in it:
<snip>
rplen = strlen(rp);
if (!_config_def_check_tree(handle, vp, vp + strlen(vp), rp, rp + rplen, CFG_PATH_MAX_LEN - rplen, cn, cmd->cft_def_hash)) ...
</snip>
If compiled with -O0 (correct):
Breakpoint 1, config_def_check (cmd=0x819b050, handle=0x81a04f8) at config/config.c:775
(gdb) p vp
$1 = 0x8189ee0 <_cfg_path> "config"
(gdb) p strlen(vp)
$2 = 6
(gdb)
_config_def_check_tree (handle=0x81a04f8, vp=0x8189ee0 <_cfg_path>
"config", pvp=0x8189ee6 <_cfg_path+6> "", rp=0xbfffe1e8 "config",
prp=0xbfffe1ee "", buf_size=58, root=0x81a2568, ht=0x81a65

(gdb) p vp
$4 = 0x8189ee0 <_cfg_path> "config"
(gdb) p pvp
$5 = 0x8189ee6 <_cfg_path+6> ""
If compiled with -O2 (incorrect):
Breakpoint 1, config_def_check (cmd=cmd@entry=0x8183050, handle=0x81884f8) at config/config.c:775
(gdb) p vp
$1 = 0x8172fc0 <_cfg_path> "config"
(gdb) p strlen(vp)
$2 = 6
(gdb) p vp + strlen(vp)
$3 = 0x8172fc6 <_cfg_path+6> ""
(gdb)
_config_def_check_tree (handle=handle@entry=0x81884f8, pvp=0x8172fc7
<_cfg_path+7> "host_list", rp=rp@entry=0xbffff190 "config",

config/config.c:674
(gdb) p pvp
$4 = 0x8172fc7 <_cfg_path+7> "host_list"
The difference is in passing the "pvp" arg for _config_def_check_tree.
While in the correct case, the value of _cfg_path+6 is passed
(the result of vp + strlen(vp) - see the snippet of the code above),
in the incorrect case, this value is increased by 1 to _cfg_path+7,
hence totally malforming the string that is being processed.
This ends up with incorrect validation check and incorrect warning
messages are issued like:
"Configuration setting "config/checks" has invalid type. Found integer, expected section."
To workaround this issue, remove the "static" qualifier from the
"static char _cfg_path[CFG_PATH_MAX_LEN]". This causes the optimalizer
to be less aggressive (also shuffling the arg list for
_config_def_check_tree call helps).
Commit b248ba0a39 attempted to
prevent mirror devices which had a failed device in their
mirrored log from being usable/readable by LVM. This was to
protect against circular dependancies where one LVM command
could be blocked trying to read one of these affected mirrors
while the LVM command to fix/unblock that mirror was stuck
behind the currently running command.
The above commit went wrong when it used 'device_is_usable()' to
recurse on the mirrored log device to check if it was suspended
or blocked. The 'device_is_usable' function also contains a check
for reserved names - like *_mlog, etc. This last check always
triggered when checking a mirror's log simply because of the name,
not because it was suspended or blocked - a false positive.
The solution is to create a new function like 'device_is_usable',
but without the check for reserved names. Using this new function
(device_is_suspended_or_blocked), we can check the status of a
mirror's log device properly.
When both the '-i' and '-m' arguments are specified on the command
line, use the "raid10" segment type. This way, the native RAID10
personality is used through dm-raid rather than layering a mirror
on striped LVs. If the old behavior is desired, the '--type'
argument to use would be "mirror" rather than "raid10".
When reading an info about MDAs from lvmetad, we need to use 64 bit
int to read the value of the offset/size, otherwise the value is
overflows and then it's used throughout!
This is dangerous if we're trying to write such metadata area then,
mostly visible if we're using 2 mdas where the 2nd one is at the end
of the underlying device and hence the value of the mda offset is
high enough to cause problems:
(the offset trimmed to value of 0 instead of 4096m, so we write
at the very start of the disk (or elsewhere if the offset has
some other value!)

When creating a new thin pool and there's no profile requested
via "lvcreate --profile ...", inherit any VG profile if it's attached.
Currently this applies to these settings:
allocation/thin_pool_chunk_size
allocation/thin_pool_discards
allocation/thin_pool_zero
Add new configure lvm.conf options for binaries thin_repair
and thin_dump.
Those are part of device-mapper-persistent-data package
and will be used for recovery of thin_pool.
The PREFERRED allocation mechanism requires the number of areas in the
previous LV segment to match the number in the new segment being
allocated. If they do not match, the code may crash.
E.g. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/989347
Introduce A_AREA_COUNT_MATCHES and when not set avoid referring
to the previous segment with the contiguous and cling policies.
When using a global_filter and if this filter is incorrectly
specified, we ended up with a segfault:
raw/~ $ pvs
Invalid filter pattern "r|/dev/sda".
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
In the example above a closing '|' character is missing at the end
of the regex. The segfault itself was caused by trying to destroy
the same filter twice in _init_filters fn within the error path
(the "bad" goto target):
bad:
if (f3)
f3->destroy(f3);
if (f4)
f4->destroy(f4);
Where f3 is the composite filter (sysfs + regex + type + md + mpath filter)
and f4 is the persistent filter which encompasses this composite filter
within persistent filter's 'real' field in 'struct pfilter'.
So in the end, we need to destroy the persistent filter only as
this will also destroy any 'real' filter attached to it.
commit d00d45a8b6 introduced changes
that are causing cluster mirror tests to fail. Ultimately, I think
the change was right, but a proper clean-up will have to wait.
The portion of the commit we are reverting correlates to the
following commit comment:
2) lib/metadata/mirror.c:_delete_lv() - should have been calling
_activate_lv_like_model() with 'mirror_lv'. This is because
'mirror_lv' is the LV that the overall operation is being
performed on. We need to use this LV as the basis for
determining whether to activate locally, or across the
cluster, etc.
It appears that when legs or logs are removed from a mirror, they
are being activated before they are deleted in order to make them
top-level LVs that can be acted upon. When doing this, it appears
they are not activated based on the characteristics of the mirror
from which they came. IOW, if the mirror was exclusively active,
the sub-LVs are activated globally. This is a no-no. This then
made it impossible to activate_lv_like_model if the model was
"mirror_lv" instead of "lv" in _delete_lv(). Thus, at some point
this change should probably be put back and those location where
the sub-LVs are being improperly activated "shared" instead of
EX should be corrected.
Three fixme's addressed in this commit:
1) lib/metadata/lv_manip.c:_calc_area_multiple() - this could be
safely changed to a comment explaining that currently because
RAID10 can only have a 2-way mirror, we don't need to know the
number of stripes. However, we will need to know that in the
future if RAID10 is to support more than 2-way mirroring.
2) lib/metadata/mirror.c:_delete_lv() - should have been calling
_activate_lv_like_model() with 'mirror_lv'. This is because
'mirror_lv' is the LV that the overall operation is being
performed on. We need to use this LV as the basis for
determining whether to activate locally, or across the
cluster, etc.
3) tools/lvcreate.c:_lvcreate_params() - Minor clean-up. If
'-m 0' is given, treat it as though the mirroring argument
was not given (i.e. as though the requested segment type
was 'stripe' and not mirror).
Activation is needed only for clustered VG.
For non-clustered VG skip activation, since deactivate_lv()
is called without problems (no testing for lock presence).
(updates f6ded62291)
When the merging of snapshot is finished, we need to clean dm table
intries for snapshot and -cow device. So for merging snapshot
we have to activate_lv plain 'cow' LV and let the table
resolver to its work - shortly deactivation_lv() request
will follow - in cluster this needs LV lock to be held by clvmd.
Also update a test - add small wait - if lvremove is not 'fast enough'
and merging process has not been stopped and $lv1 removed in background.
Ortherwise the following lvcreate occasionally finds name $lv1 still in use.
(in release fix)
The status printed for dm-raid targets on older kernels does not include
the syncaction field. This is handled by dev_manager_raid_status() just
fine by populating the raid status structure with NULL for that field.
However, lv_raid_sync_action() does not properly handle that field being
NULL. So, check for it and return 0 if it is NULL.
Add --poolmetadataspare option and creates and handles
pool metadata spare lv when thin pool is created.
With default setting 'y' it tries to ensure, spare has
at least the size of created LV.
Pool creation involves clearing of metadata device
which triggers udev watch rule we cannot udev synchronize with
in current code.
This metadata devices needs to be activated localy,
so in cluster mode deactivation and reactivation
is always needed.
However for non-clustered mode we may reload table
via suspend/resume path which avoids collision with
udev watch rule which was occasionaly triggering
retry deactivation loop.
Code has been also split into 2 separate code paths
for thin pools and thin volumes which improved readability
of the code as well.
Deactivation has been moved out of extend_pool() and
decision is now in _lv_create_an_lv() which knows
the change mode.
Since we vg_write&commit metadata LV inside lv_extend() call,
proper restore is needed in case something fails.
So add bad: section which deactivates activated LV
and removes it from VG.
Also check early for metadata LV name lengh fail.
When tree for thin LVs was using external_lv, there has been
far less optimal solution, that has tried to add certain
existing dependencie only when new node was added.
However this has lead to way to complex tree construction since
many repeated checks have been made during such tree build.
This patch move this detection to the proper _partial_tree generation
code and uses for it new 'activation' flag, which is set when
tree for ACTIVATION or PRELOAD is generated.
It increases performance when thins with external origins are used.
(in release update)
Created dlid for test is not needed afterward, so lower a memory
usage of this call is repeatedly used for building some large tree.
TODO: create function to use given buffer on stack as much cheaper.
Code needs to check if the layer origin device is suspended,
It's valid to create thinvolume snapshot of thinvolume which is also
used as an old-style snapshot. In this case we need to check -real
is suspended.
When adding origin_only - add only layer thin volume.
(in case it's also old-snapshot add only -real device)
Remove backup() call from update_pool_lv() as it's been there
duplicated and preperly order backup() call after lvresize,
so there is just one such call.
If the thin pool is known to be active, messages can be passed
to the pool even when the created thin volume is not going to be
activated.
So we do not need to stack large list of message and validate
and catch creation errors earlier in this case.
Replace the test for valid activation combination with simpler list of
deactivation combinations.
cfg_def_get_path uses a global static var to store the result (for efficiency).
So we need to apply the profile first and then get the path for the config item
when calling find_config_tree_* fns.
Also activation/auto_set_activation is not profilable (at least not now,
maybe later if we need that).

The activation/auto_set_activation_skip enables/disables automatic
adding of the ACTIVATION_SKIP LV flag. By default thin snapshots
are flagged to be skipped during activation.
And by default, the auto_set_activation_skip is enabled.
Also add -k/--setactivationskip y/n and -K/--ignoreactivationskip
options to lvcreate.
The --setactivationskip y sets the flag in metadata for an LV to
skip the LV during activation. Also, the newly created LV is not
activated.
Thin snapsots have this flag set automatically if not specified
directly by the --setactivationskip y/n option.
The --ignoreactivationskip overrides the activation skip flag set
in metadata for an LV (just for the run of the command - the flag
is not changed in metadata!)
A few examples for the lvcreate with the new options:

...when creating config trees while calling config_def_create_tree fn
that constructs a tree out of config_settings.h definition
(CFG_DEF_TREE_NEW/MISSING/DEFAULT/PROFILABLE).
Till now, we needed the config tree merge only for merging
tag configs with lvm.conf. However, this type of merging
did a few extra exceptions:
- leaving out the tags section
- merging values in activation/volume_list
- merging values in devices/filter
- merging values in devices/types
Any other config values were replaced by new values.
However, we'd like to do a 'raw merge' as well, simply
bypassing the exceptions listed above. This will help
us to create a single tree representing the cascaded
configs like CONFIG_STRING -> CONFIG_PROFILE -> ...
The reason for this patch is that when trees are cascaded,
the first value found while traversing the cascade is used,
not making any exceptions like we do for tag configs.
When CFG_DEF_TREE_MISSING is created, it needs to know the status
of the check done on the tree used (the CFG_USED flag).
This bug was introduced with f1c292cc38
"make it possible to run several instances of configuration check at
once". This patch separated the CFG_USED and CFG_VALID flags in
a separate 'status' field in struct cft_check_handle.
However, when creating some trees, like CFG_DEF_TREE_MISSING,
we need this status to do a comparison with full config definition
to determine which items are missing and for which default values
were used. Otherwise, all items would be considered missing.
So, pass this status in a new field called 'check_status' in
struct config_def_tree_spec that defines how the (dumpconfig) tree
should be constructed (and this struct is passed to
config_def_create_tree fn then).

These settins are customizable by profiles:
allocation/thin_pool_zero
allocation/thin_pool_discards
allocation/thin_pool_chunk_size
activation/thin_pool_autoextend_threshold
activation/thin_pool_autoextend_percent
Besides the classical configuration checks (type checking and
checking whether the item is recognized by lvm tools) for profiles,
do an extra check whether the configuration setting is customizable
by a profile at all. Give a warning message if not.
Before, the status of the configuration check (config_def_check fn call)
was saved directly in global configuration definitinion array (as part
of the cfg_def_item_t/flags)
This patch introduces the "struct cft_check_handle" that defines
configuration check parameters as well as separate place to store
the status (status here means CFG_USED and CFG_VALID flags, formerly
saved in cfg_def_item_t/flags). This struct can hold config check
parameters as well as the status for each config tree separately,
thus making it possible to run several instances of config_def_check
without interference.
Just to make it more clear and also not to confuse
config_valid with check against config definition
(and its 'valid' flag within the config defintion tree).
If "vgcreate/lvcreate --profile <profile_name>" is used, the profile
name is automatically stored in metadata for making it possible to
load it automatically next time the VG/LV is used.
This is per VG/LV profile loading on demand. The profile itself is saved
in struct volume_group/logical_volume as "profile" field so we can
reference it whenever needed.
When placing the profile in a configuration cascade, this sequence is
used exactly:
CONFIG_STRING -> CONFIG_PROFILE -> CONFIG_FILE/MERGED_FILES
So if the profile is used, it overloads the lvm.conf (and any
existing tag configs). However, if "--config" is used to define
a custom configuration on command line, this overloads even the
profile config!
This patch adds --profile arg to lvm cmds and adds config/profile_dir
configuration setting to select the directory where profiles are stored
By default it's /etc/lvm/profile.
The profiles are added by using new "add_profile" fn and then loaded
using the "load_profile" fn. All profiles are stored in a cmd context
within the new "struct profile_params":
struct profile_params {
const char *dir;
struct profile *global_profile;
struct dm_list profiles_to_load;
struct dm_list profiles;
};
...where "dir" is the directory with profiles, "global_profile" is
the profile that is set globally via the --profile arg (IOW, not
set per VG/LV basis based on metadata record) and the "profiles"
is the list with loaded profiles.
Configuration profiles are selected configuration items that can
be loaded dynamically on demand and overlayed over existing
configuration on demand (either on cmd line by selecting the profile
name to be used globally or retrieved from metadata and used per
VG/LV basis only).
The default directory where profiles are stored is configurable
at compile time with --with-default-profile-subdir.
A helper type that helps with identification of the configuration source
which makes handling the configuration cascade a bit easier, mainly
removing and adding configuration trees to cascade dynamically.
Currently, the possible types are:
CONFIG_UNDEFINED - configuration is not defined yet (not initialized)
CONFIG_FILE - one file configuration
CONFIG_MERGED_FILES - configuration that is a result of merging more files into one
CONFIG_STRING - configuration string typed on cmd line directly
CONFIG_PROFILE - profile configuration (the new type of configuration, patches will follow...)
Also, generalize existing "remove_overridden_config_tree" to work with
configuration type identification in a cascade. Before, it was just
the CONFIG_STRING we used. Now, we need some more to add in a
cascade (like the CONFIG_PROFILE). So, we have:
struct dm_config_tree *remove_config_tree_by_source(struct cmd_context *cmd, config_source_t source);
config_source_t config_get_source_type(struct dm_config_tree *cft);
... for removing the tree by its source type from the cascade and
simply getting the source type.
In the last update not all code paths have set the archived flag.
If we run in test mode or without archiving enabled - set the bit
as well - so test whether archiving has been called succesfully
will be ok. (in relase fix).
Do not keep multiple archives for the executed command.
Reuse the ALLOCATABLE_PV from pv status for
ARCHIVED_VG vg status. Mark VG with the bit with the
first archivation.
...not the other way round as it was before. This way it makes
more sense as BA use is exceptional and it's useless to
contaminate the log with messages about BA not being found
in metadata.
Since reduce the message has informational character and doesn't lead
to exit of the command - reduce the log level to info print as we
use for other similar types.
Reindent next print message.
When vgname has not existed in metadata, it has crashed on double free
in format_instance destroy() - since VG was created, used FID and was
released - which also released FID, so further use was accessing bad
memory.
Fix it for this code path before release_vg() so FID will exists
when _vg_read_file_name() returns NULL.
Revert commit 37ffe6a. If static variables are to be used then we
will put them elsewhere and limit the optimization to reporting
code, rather that have it be used in the general case.
