Before, we used to display "Can't remove open logical volume" which was
generic. There 3 possibilities of how a device could be opened:
- used by another device
- having a filesystem on that device which is mounted
- opened directly by an application
With the help of sysfs info, we can distinguish the first two situations.
The third one will be subject to "remove retry" logic - if it's opened
quickly (e.g. a parallel scan from within a udev rule run), this will
finish quickly and we can remove it once it has finished. If it's a
legitimate application that keeps the device opened, we'll do our best
to remove the device, but we will fail finally after a few retries.
This patch adds the ability to upconvert a raid1 array - say from 2-way to
3-way. It does not yet support upconverting linear to n-way.
The 'raid' device-mapper target allows for individual components (images) of
an array to be specified for rebuild. This mechanism is used when adding
new images to the array so that the new images can be resync'ed while the
rest of the images in the array can remain 'in-sync'. (There is no
mirror-on-mirror layering required.)
~> 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.
Implementation described in doc/lvm2-raid.txt.
Basic support includes:
- ability to create RAID 1/4/5/6 arrays
- ability to delete RAID arrays
- ability to display RAID arrays
Notable missing features (not included in this patch):
- ability to clean-up/repair failures
- ability to convert RAID segment types
- ability to monitor RAID segment types
When some target is passing empty parameters to some dm target,
report this as an internal error to better catch some broken
table construction (some mirror conversions seem to be doing
this for now).
This fn calls rm_dev_node directly - an exceptional case. It needs to check
the DM_UDEV_DISABLE_LIBRARY_FALLBACK flag directly (it's called in dm_task_run
normally where it's checked already).
and use this for the LVM critical section logic. Also report an error if
code tries to load a table while any device is known to be in the
suspended state.
(If the variety of problems these changes are showing up can't be fixed
before the next release, the error messages can be reduced to debug
level.)
are affected by the move. (Currently it's possible for I/O to become
trapped between suspended devices amongst other problems.
The current fix was selected so as to minimise the testing surface. I
hope eventually to replace it with a cleaner one that extends the
deptree code.
Some lvconvert scenarios still suffer from related problems.
When using clustered mirrors, we need device nodes to be created during
processing of device tree, not at its end like we normally do (we need to
access the nodes in cmirror prematurely). Therefore we use a new flag called
"immediate_dev_node" stored in deptree's load_properties struct to instruct the
device tree processing code to immediately synchronize with udev and flush all
stacked node operations so the nodes are prepared for use.
For now, the immediate_dev_node is used for clustered mirrors during
processing the dm_tree_preload_children code only. We can add more later if
needed.
For deactivation of Replicator check in advance that all heads
have open_count == 0. For this presuspend_node is used as all
head nodes are linking this control node.
Introducing dm_tree_node_set_presuspend_node() for presuspending child
node (i.e. replicator control target) before deactivation of parent node
(i.e. replicator-dev target).
This patch presents no functional change to current dtree - only
replicator target currently sets presuspend node for dev nodes.
that were necessary to be passed on to userspace.
The cluster mirror table (log portion only) used to look like this:
clustered-disk <parm_count> <disk> <region_size> <uuid> \
[[no]sync] [block_on_error]
Now it looks like this:
userspace <parm_count> <uuid> clustered-disk <disk> <region_size> \
[[no]sync]
So, there is one extra argument in the latter case - this was
unaccounted for.

Introduces new libdevmapper function dm_tree_node_add_snapshot_merge_target
Verifies that the kernel (dm-snapshot) provides the 'snapshot-merge'
target.
Activate origin LV as snapshot-merge target. Using snapshot-origin
target would be pointless because the origin contains volatile data
while a merge is in progress.
Because snapshot-merge target is activated in place of the
snapshot-origin target it must be resumed after all other snapshots
(just like snapshot-origin does) --- otherwise small window for data
corruption would exist.
Ideally the merging snapshot would not be activated at all but if it is
to be activated (because snapshot was already active) it _must_ be done
after the snapshot-merge. This insures that DM's snapshot-merge target
will perform exception handover in the proper order (new->resume before
old->resume). DM's snapshot-merge does support handover if the reverse
sequence is used (old->resume before new->resume) but DM will fail to
resume the old snapshot; leaving it suspended.
To insure the proper activation sequence dm_tree_activate_children() was
updated to accommodate an additional 'activation_priority' level. All
regular snapshots are 0, snapshot-merge is 1, and merging snapshot is 2.
dm_tree_activate_children() callers.
Otherwise resume_lv and its variants can fail silently.
Catching these failures is especially important now that dm targets like
crypt and snapshot-merge can fail in .preresume

This provides better support for environments where udev rules are installed
but udev_sync is not compiled in (however, using udev_sync is highly
recommended). It also provides consistent and expected functionality even
when '--noudevsync' option is used.
There is still requirement for kernel >= 2.6.31 for the flags to work though
(it uses DM cookies to pass the flags into the kernel and set them in udev
event environment that we can read in udev rules).
- we have these levels when the udev rules are processed:
10-dm.rules --> [11-dm-<subsystem>.rules] --> [12-dm-permissions.rules] -->
13-dm-disk.rules --> [...all the other foreign rules...] --> 95-dm-notify.rules
- each level can be disabled now by
DM_UDEV_DISABLE_{DM, SUBSYSTEM, DISK, OTHER}_RULES_FLAG
- add DM_UDEV_DISABLE_DM_RULES_FLAG to disable 10-dm.rules
- add DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES_FLAG to disable all the other (non-dm) rules.
We cutoff these rules by using the 'last_rule', so this one should really be
used with great care and in well-founded situations. We use this for lvm's
hidden and layer devices now.
- add a parameter for add_dev_node, rm_dev_node and rename_dev_node so it's
possible to switch on/off udev checks
- use DM_UDEV_DISABLE_DM_RULES_FLAG and DM_UDEV_DISABLE_SUBSYSTEM_RULES_FLAG
if there's no cookie set and we have resume, remove and rename ioctl.
This could happen when someone uses the libdevmapper that is compiled with
udev_sync but the software does not make use of it. This way we can switch
off the rules and fallback to libdevmapper node creation so there's no
udev/libdevmapper race.
confuses me, so I've added a comment at the top of the function to
remind me of this.
I also found that 'mirror_emit_segment_line' was returning 0 (return_0)
on failure /and/ success. It now returns 1 for success and 0 for failure -
just like '_emit_areas_line' and its calling function, '_emit_segment_line'.
Eliminate dependency on outside library, since the same functionality
exists in our tree.
[It is important that the bitops work in the same way, as the bitmaps
must remain backwards compatible. I haven't tested every architecture,
but the x86* archs work. My test involved using the old ext2fsprogs
bitops, memcpy'ing the bits over to the LVM bitset array and ensuring
that only the bits set via the old methods were set.]
- it can support multiple segments, but note that
to work properly, correct IV (initialization vector)
offset parameter must be set properly.
Because most usage of IV start offset is when we join
several crypto segments together (so iv_offset is the segment
start offset), DM_CRYPT_IV_DEFAULT is defined to simplify
the process.
Function accepts the string in cipher agrument (already
including chainmode and iv type; chainmode and iv parameters are NULL
in this case) or user can provide split parameters which will
join into dm-crypt cipher specification "cipher-chainmode-iv".
All these parameters must be supplied in correct dm-crypt format.
