This is a workaround for long-lasting problem with using the WATCH udev
rule. When trying to remove a DM device, this one can still be opened
while processing the event in parallel (generated based on the WATCH
udev rule).
Let's use this until we have a proper solution.
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.)
LVM doesn't behave correctly if running as non-root user,
there is warning when it detects it.
Despite this, it produces many error messages, saying nothing.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=620571
This patch fixes two things:
1) Removes eror message from device_is_usable() which has no
information value anyway (real warning is printed inside it).
2) it fixes device-mapper initialization, if we support
core dm module autoload and device node is present, it should
fail early and not try recreate existing and correct node.
(non-root == permission denied here)
N.B. In future code should support user roles, some more
drastic checks in code are probably contraproductive now.
When the ->params string is empty - memory access is made on the byte
before allocated buffer (catched by valgrind) - in the case it would
constain 0x20 - it would even overwrite this buffer.
So fix by checking len > 0 before doing such access.
Also slightly optimise this loop from repeated strlen call.
Add new function dm_task_set_add_node() to select between 2 types
of node creation in device directory.
DM_ADD_NODE_ON_RESUME is now default and ensures node is created on
resume. Old original behavior is accessible with DM_ADD_NODE_ON_CREATE.
In this case node would be created during dmsetup create --notable.
For the user 2 new options for dmsetup create are added:
[{--addnodeonresume | --addnodeoncreate }]
Properly working node creation on resume is needed for proper operation
stacking and ability to correctly check in which state the device should
after whole udev transation.
Detect existence of new SELinux selabel interface during configure.
Use new dm_prepare_selinux_context instead of dm_set_selinux_context.
We should set the SELinux context before the actual file system object creation.
The new dm_prepare_selinux_context function sets this using the selabel_lookup
fn in conjuction with the setfscreatecon fn. If selinux/label.h interface
(that should be a part of the selinux library) is not found during configure,
we fallback to the original matchpathcon function instead.
We can't rely on the fact that udev should prepare the node with right major
and minor number to trigger the module autoloading. We have to take into
account that the node could be missing or it could exist with improper
major and minor number assigned (e.g. from previous kernel versions in
an environment with static nodes and without udev). Make any corrections
if needed!
There was missing "revert" call in _create_and_load_v4 fn while the preparation
for table load ends up with failure in create/load/resume sequence. Otherwise
we could end up with a device being created, but not table-loaded nor resumed.
Even though the table is not loaded and the device is not resumed at this
stage, we still need to synchronize with udev when calling the revert
"remove" ioctl - there's still a remove uevent generated! The "revert"
code does exactly that.
A kernel patch is on its way for 2.6.35 adding support for dm-mod module
autoload. Udev v155 and higher is able to read static node information given
in modules.devname (extracted by depmod before) and will create such nodes
at its start. The first access to such node will load the module automatically
(directly in kernel) before the actual read/write operation is processed.
(with table provided).
This remove ioctl generates udev events like any other hence it needs to be
synchronized properly as well. Also, add dm task type in debug log when
setting a cookie (for better debugging).
This rule appeared in udev v152 and it helps us to support spurious events
where we didn't have any flags set (events originated in udevadm trigger
or the watch rule). These flags are important to direct the rule application.
Now, with the help of this rule, we can regenerate old udev db content.
To implement this correctly, we need to flag all proper DM udev events with
DM_UDEV_PRIMARY_SOURCE_FLAG. That happens automatically for all ioctls
generating events originated in libdevmapper.
We need to know whether we should wait for any uevent or not when
using udev_sync. A kernel patch was posted recently that changed the
way uevents are sent on dm device resume - it is sent only if the
device has been suspended before. There's also a new DM_UEVENT_GENERATED_FLAG
in the ioctl to notify userspace whether the event was generated.
If the uevent was not generated (e.g. the situation where the device is
*not* suspended and we call a resume), we just call dm_udev_complete
explicitly from within libdevmapper itself to prevent infinite waiting
while trying to synchronise with udev processing.
- add DM_UDEV_DISABLE_LIBRARY_FALLBACK udev flag to rely on udev only
- export dm_udev_create_cookie function to create new cookies on demand
- add --udevcookie, udevcreatecookie and udevreleasecookie for dmsetup
(to support "udev transactions" where one cookie value can be used for
several dmsetup calls)
- don't use DM_UDEV_DISABLE_CHECKING env. var. anymore and set the state
automatically (based on udev and libdevmapper dev path comparison)
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.
Is an application uses query and set major:minor
to device, it should not fallback to default major by default.
Add new function whoich allows that (and use it in lvm2).
Checks added for DM device names to allow only names < DM_NAME_LEN,
otherwise a part of lengthy name would be silently ignored and could
cause confusion while using dmsetup. Also, the name should not contain
'/' character, if it is used in context of creating a new device
or renaming the existing one (because we do not consider full path
to devices, they do not exist in filesystem yet) and appropriate error
messages are shown.
checks clearer (incl. variable renaming); using a flag to indicate when
output data doesn't fit into supplied buffer instead of returning an error etc.
o Various other kernel side tidy-ups.
o Version number changes so we have the option of adding new ioctl commands
in future without affecting the use of existing ones should you later
revert to an older kernel but not revert the userspace library/tools.
o Better separation of kernel/userspace elements in the build process to
prepare for independent distribution of the kernel driver.
