Automatically figure out resizable layer in the LV stack and
resize it online.
Split check for reshaped raids and postpone removal of
unused space after finished reshaping after metadata archiving.
Drop warning about unsupported automatic resize of monitored thin-pool.
Currently there is not yet support for resize of writecache.
Move extra md component detection into the label scan phase.
It had been in set_pv_devices which was deep within the vg_read
phase, which wasn't a good place (better to detect that earlier.)
Now that pv metadata info is available in the scan phase, the pv
details (size and device_hint) can be used for extra md checking.
Use the device_hint from the pv metadata to trigger a full md
component check if the device_hint begins with /dev/md.
Stop triggering full md component checks based on missing
udev info for a dev.
Changes to tests to reflect that the code is now detecting
md components in some test case that it wasn't before.
Current allocation limitation requires to fit metadata/log LV on
a single PV. This is usually not a big problem, but since
thin-pool and cache-pool is using this for allocating extents
for their metadata LVs it might be eventually causing errors
where the remaining free spaces for large metadata size is spread
over several PV.
When passing 'pvmove --name arg' try to automatically move
all associated dependencies with given LV.
i.e. 'pvmove --name thinpool vg vgnew'
moves all thins and data and metadata LV into a new VG vgnew.
Use update_pool_metadata_min_max() which is shared with
thin-pool metadata min-max updating.
Gives improved messages when converting volumes to metadata.
There is not much point to let allocate more then this size
even when i.e. converted LV is bigger then 16GiB (%extent_size)
ATM neither thin-pool nor cache-pool supports bigger metadata.
Initial support for thin-pool used slightly smaller max size 15.81GiB
for thin-pool metadata. However the real limit later settled at 15.88GiB
(difference is ~64MiB - 16448 4K blocks).
lvm2 could not simply increase the size as it has been using hard cropping
of the loaded metadata device to avoid warnings printing warning of kernel
when the size was bigger (i.e. due to bigger extent_size).
This patch adds the new lvm.conf configurable setting:
allocation/thin_pool_crop_metadata
which defaults to 0 -> no crop of metadata beyond 15.81GiB.
Only user with these sizes of metadata will be affected.
Without cropping lvm2 now limits metadata allocation size to 15.88GiB.
Any space beyond is currently not used by thin-pool target.
Even if i.e. bigger LV is used for metadata via lvconvert,
or allocated bigger because of to large extent size.
With cropping enabled (=1) lvm2 preserves the old limitation
15.81GiB and should allow to work in the evironement with
older lvm2 tools (i.e. older distribution).
Thin-pool metadata with size bigger then 15.81G is now using CROP_METADATA
flag within lvm2 metadata, so older lvm2 recognizes an
incompatible thin-pool and cannot activate such pool!
Users should use uncropped version as it is not suffering
from various issues between thin_repair results and allocated
metadata LV as thin_repair limit is 15.88GiB
Users should use cropping only when really needed!
Patch also better handles resize of thin-pool metadata and prevents resize
beoyond usable size 15.88GiB. Resize beyond 15.81GiB automatically
switches pool to no-crop version. Even with existing bigger thin-pool
metadata command 'lvextend -l+1 vg/pool_tmeta' does the change.
Patch gives better controls 'coverted' metadata LV and
reports less confusing message during conversion.
Patch set also moves the code for updating min/max into pool_manip.c
for better sharing with cache_pool code.
When detaching writecache, make the first stage send a message
to dm-writecache to set the cleaner option. This is instead of
reloading the dm table with the cleaner option set. Reloading
the table causes udev to process/probe the dm dev, which gets
stalled because of the writeback activity, and the stalled udev
in turn stalls the lvconvert command when it tries to sync with
udev events.
When getting writecache status we do not need to get
open_count or read_head info, which can cause extra steps.
In case legs of a raid0 LV are removed, the lvdisplay command still
reports 'available' though raid0 is not providing any resilience
compared to the other raid levels.
Also lvdisplay does not display '(partial)' in case of missing raid0
legs as oposed to the lvs command.
Enhance lvdisplay to report "NOT available" for any RaidLV type in case
too many legs are inaccessible hence causing data loss. I.e. any leg
for raid0, all for raid1, more than 1 for raid4/5, more than 2 for raid6
and in case of completely lost mirror groups for raid10.
Add test/shell/lvdisplay-raid.sh.

New VDO targets v6.2.3 corrects support for online rename of VDO device.
If needed if can be disable via new lvm.conf setting:
vdo_disabled_features = [ "online_rename" ]
When removing pool LV from a stacked LV setup, it's been possible
to leak _pmspare and such hidden LV then required manual
user removal.
Fix it by moving automatic removal into _lv_reduce().
When adding replacement raid+integrity images (lvconvert --repair
after a raid image is lost), various errors can cause the function
to exit with an error. On this exit path, the function attempts
to revert new images that had been created but not yet used. The
cleanup failed to account for the fact that not all images needed
to be reverted.
Since commit 77fdc17d70 always include
log_len size into needed extents - however now we may need sometimes
more extents then necessary - mainly when multiple PVs are involved
into allocation.
Add logs_still_needed into calculation of sufficient_pes_free()
When a writecache sublv or an integrity metadata sublv
are partial (missing a dev), set the partial flag on
the upper level LV also, as is done for other sublvs.
When using cache with a cachevol, the cache_check tool was
not being run on the cache metadata during activation.
cache_check clears the needs_check flag in the cache
metadata, so if the flag was set due to an unclean
shutdown, the activation would fail.
Each integrity image in a raid LV reports its own number
of integrity mismatches, e.g.
lvs -o integritymismatches vg/lv_rimage_0
lvs -o integritymismatches vg/lv_rimage_1
In addition to this, allow the total number of integrity
mismatches from all images to be displayed for the raid LV.
lvs -o integritymismatches vg/lv
shows the number of mismatches from both lv_rimage_0 and
lv_rimage_1.
The args for pvcreate/pvremove (and vgcreate/vgextend
when applicable) were not efficiently opened, scanned,
and filtered. This change reorganizes the opening
and filtering in the following steps:
- label scan and filter all devs
. open ro
. standard label scan at the start of command
- label scan and filter dev args
. open ro
. uses full md component check
. typically the first scan and filter of pvcreate devs
- close and reopen dev args
. open rw and excl
- repeat label scan and filter dev args
. using reopened rw excl fd
- wipe and write new headers
. using reopened rw excl fd
In some cases the dev size may not have been read yet
in set_pv_devices(). In this case get the dev size
before comparing the dev size with the pv size.
To read the lvm headers and set dev->pvid if the
device is a PV. Difference from label_scan_ functions
is this does not read any vg metadata or add any info
to lvmcache.
Filtering in label_scan was controlled indirectly by
the fact that bcache was not yet set up when label_scan
first ran. The result is that filters that needed data
would not run and would return -EAGAIN, which would
result in the dev flag FILTER_AFTER_SCAN being set.
After the dev header was read for checking the label,
filters would be rechecked because of FILTER_AFTER_SCAN.
All filters would be checked this time because bcache
was now set up, and the filters needing data would
largely use data already scanned for reading the label.
This design worked but is hard to adjust for future
cases where bcache is already set up.
Replace this method (based on setting up bcache, or not)
with a new cmd flag filter_nodata_only. When this flag
is set filters that need data will not run. This allows
the same label_scan behavior when bcache has been set up.
There are no expected changes in behavior.
Touch of stack allocation validated given size with rlimit
and if the reserved_stack was above rlimit, its been completely
ignored - now we will always touch stack upto rlimit/2 size.
Since BLKZEROOUT ioctl should be supposedly fastest
way how to clear block device start using this ioctl
for zeroing a device. Commonly we do zero typically
small portion of a device (8KiB) - however since we now
also started to zero metadata devices, in the case
of i.e. thin-pool metadata this can go upto ~16GiB
and here the performance starts to be noticable.
Since dev_set_bytes() now closes dev on error path itself,
remove this unneeded call now (introduced few commits back
in history thus removing comment from WHATS_NEW)
Since lvm2 normally block signals during protected
phase where it does not want to be interrupted.
Support interruptible processing when allowed
in section between sigint_allow() ... sigint_restore())
and let the 'io_getenvents()' finish with EINTR.
When bcache tries to write data to a faulty device,
it may get out of caching blocks and then just busy-loops
on a CPU - so this check protects this by checking
if there is already max_io (~64) errored blocks.
Call _wait_all() which does check whether there is still
some pending IO before sleep. Otherwise it may happen
our submitted IO operations have been already dispatched
and this call then endlessly waits for IO which are all done.
This can be reproduced when device returns quickly errors
on write requests.
When detaching a writecache, use the cleaner setting
by default to writeback data prior to suspending the
lv to detach the writecache. This avoids potentially
blocking for a long period with the device suspended.
Detaching a writecache first sets the cleaner option, waits
for a short period of time (less than a second), and checks
if the writecache has quickly become clean. If so, the
writecache is detached immediately. This optimizes the case
where little writeback is needed.
If the writecache does not quickly become clean, then the
detach command leaves the writecache attached with the
cleaner option set. This leaves the LV in the same state
as if the user had set the cleaner option directly with
lvchange --cachesettings cleaner=1 LV.
After leaving the LV with the cleaner option set, the
detach command will wait and watch the writeback progress,
and will finally detach the writecache when the writeback
is finished. The detach command does not need to wait
during the writeback phase, and can be canceled, in which
case the LV will remain with the writecache attached and
the cleaner option set. When the user runs the detach
command again it will complete the detach.
To detach a writecache directly, without using the cleaner
step (which has been the approach previously), add the
option --cachesettings cleaner=0 to the detach command.
Since we detect already transaction if before starting
to build dm tree - this extra check is a duplicate
that would only capture very tiny 'race' and we later
validate transaction_id with suspended snapshot origin.
Introduce structures lv_status_thin_pool and
lv_status_thin (pair to lv_status_cache, lv_status_vdo)
Convert lv_thin_percent() -> lv_thin_status()
and lv_thin_pool_percent() + lv_thin_pool_transaction_id() ->
lv_thin_pool_status().
This way a function user can see not only percentages, but also
other important status info about thin-pool.
TODO:
This patch tries to not change too many other things,
but pool_below_threshold() now uses new thin-pool info to return
failure if thin-pool cannot be actually modified.
This should be handle separately in a better way.
LVM2 is distributed under GPLv2 only. The readline library changed its
license long ago to GPLv3. Given that those licenses are incompatible
and you follow the FSF in their interpretation that dynamically linking
creates a derivative work, distributing LVM2 linked against a current
readline version might be legally problematic.
Add support for the BSD licensed editline library as an alternative for
readline.

Cover the case where two copies of metadata have the
same seqno but different checksums. Also elaborate
on an existing fixme in the code for this case, since
we should be doing something better for this case.
This had been uncovering an issue with reopening
fds in readwrite mode.
Improve error response and reporting, when creating thin snapshots.
If the thin pool kernel metadata already have device with ID lvm2
tries to create, give more meanigful error message and also properly
restore transaction id to the value known to thin-pool in this case.
Before it's been possible to divert by one from kernel TID value,
and lvm2 stacked delete message for such thin device.
Since ATM kernel does not support this operation,
disable 'lvrename' of an active vdopool.
As a workaround, user may simply deactivate, rename and activate.
When user tries to extend vdo pool - he needs to go always
at least by 1 full VDO slab (defined as vdo_slab_size_mb).
To avoid all trouble around find 'workable' size - lvm2 automatically
increases the passed (or by --use-policies calculated) extension size
(and informs a user about sometimes possibly large increase as slab
size can go upto 32GiB)
With VDO users need to always 'think-big' anyway and expect such
operation to be in GiB domain range.
When thetable reload fails during suspend() - we were only calling
plain resume() - and this will reload only those devices,
which were left suspend, but will not try to restore
metadata state according to lvm2 reverted metadata.
So if we were reloading device tree - we have restored
only top-level LV and rest of reverted device manipulation
were left alone and possibly mismatched what is in committed
metadata.
FIXME: There are several cases were such revert will likely not work
properly anyway as some operation are currenly handled in single commit,
while they need multiple commits, but it's step towards better correctness.
At least we catch there errors now earlier.
lvm opens devices readonly to scan them, but
needs to open then readwrite to update the metadata.
Previously, the ro fd was closed before the rw fd
was opened, leaving a small gap where the dev was
not held open, and during which the dev could
possibly change which storage it referred to.
With the bcache_change_fd() interface, lvm opens a
rw fd on a device to be written, tells bcache to
change to the new rw fd, and closes the ro fd.
. open dev ro
. read dev with the ro fd (label_scan)
. lock vg (ex for writing)
. open dev rw
. close ro fd
. rescan dev to check if the metadata changed
between the scan and the lock
. if the metadata did change, reread in full
. write the metadata
Add a "device index" (di) for each device, and use this
in the bcache api to the rest of lvm. This replaces the
file descriptor (fd) in the api. The rest of lvm uses
new functions bcache_set_fd(), bcache_clear_fd(), and
bcache_change_fd() to control which fd bcache uses for
io to a particular device.
. lvm opens a dev and gets and fd.
fd = open(dev);
. lvm passes fd to the bcache layer and gets a di
to use in the bcache api for the dev.
di = bcache_set_fd(fd);
. lvm uses bcache functions, passing di for the dev.
bcache_write_bytes(di, ...), etc.
. bcache translates di to fd to do io.
. lvm closes the device and clears the di/fd bcache state.
close(fd);
bcache_clear_fd(di);
In the bcache layer, a di-to-fd translation table
(int *_fd_table) is added. When bcache needs to
perform io on a di, it uses _fd_table[di].
In the following commit, lvm will make use of the new
bcache_change_fd() function to change the fd that
bcache uses for the dev, without dropping cached blocks.
During removal of a lot of locking code the signal blocking got lost
and signal processing got broken leading to unpredictable
behavior of i.e. activation code the can get interrupted in the
middle of DM table processing.
lvm2 code always expects signals are blocked while lock is held
unless it is explictelly placed into section of:
sigint_allow();....;sigint_restore();
For checking catched interrupt there is sigint_catched();
Metadata size was calculated correctly only for raids.
Fixes problem for crash during lvcreate when thin-pool was created

When using --use-policy for automatic extension of thin-pool,
the extension of thin-pool's metadata itself can actually take
some extra space.
Since I'm not aware of exact compensation formula, add just
1% extra to calculated amount and hope it fits.
Wanted target is to always have usable thin-pool that fits
bellow pool_metadata_min_threshold().
Since we query on regular code these:
lv_raid_has_integrity()
lv_has_integrity_recalculate_metadata()
without prior checking for lv_is_raid() - these 'return 0' should
not use <stacktrace> as they are expected.
Correcting rounding rules for percentage evaluation.
Validate supported range of percentage.
(although ranges are already validated earlier on code path)
This is probably somewhat experimantal patch - but when i.e. raid device
is just extend, there should not be a technical need for flush,
unless the target would stricly need it. It should allow faster
processing of lvm command not being blocked by possibly longer flush.
Since we do not support rimage & rmeta for snapshots - we can
avoid quering for -cow devices and add them as origin_only -
since their snapshots (-cow) could have never existed.
This redumes several ioctl operation during table preloading.
Switch remaining zero sized struct to flexible arrays to be C99
complient.
These simple rules should apply:
- The incomplete array type must be the last element within the structure.
- There cannot be an array of structures that contain a flexible array member.
- Structures that contain a flexible array member cannot be used as a member of another structure.
- The structure must contain at least one named member in addition to the flexible array member.
Although some of the code pieces should be still improved.
While normally the 'mmap' file reading is better utilizing resources,
it has also its odd side with handling errors - so while we normally
use the mmap only for reading regular files from root filesystem
(i.e. lvm.conf) we can't prevent error to happen during the read
of these file - and such error unfortunately ends with SIGBUS error.
Maintaing signal handler would be compilated - so switch to slightly
less effiecient but more error resistant read() functinality.
reproducible steps:
1. vgcreate vg1 /dev/sda /dev/sdb
2. lvcreate --type raid0 -l 100%FREE -n raid0lv vg1
3. do remove the /dev/sdb action
4. lvdisplay show wrong 'LV Status'
After removing raid0 type LV underlying dev, lvdisplay still display
'available'. This is wrong status for raid0.

It's better to set most of option as 'commented' with some
documented defaults instead of providing strict values.
This has the advantage we can eventually 'change' defualts
and get them working in future. Otherwise once the setting
is stored in lvm.conf in /etc, such setting has strictly
defined value and that can be only change with file update.
merge.c:_check_lv_segment() was checking regionsize vs. mirrored LV size on

Avoid the check only for 'mirrored' mirror logs to allow conversion from log

As we disabled support for 'mirrored' mirror logs with

Currently lvm2 is not wiping signatures when creating 'metadata' volumes
and raid _rmeta was the only exception - so make the behavior consistent
with other metadata devices and drop wiping ATM.
Drop also some extra debug since they are now more explanatory in
wipe_lv() function.
Also note - although lvm2 now does not wipe signatures - the error
from such wipping used to be actually 'ignored' before wipe_lv()
started to return error (with recent commit) and raid creation
continued with 'unzeroed' metadata device.
TODO: Several issues to resolve:
1. We may want to flip to wipping with all LVs (in that case we need to
support passing --yet & --force).
2. Also we may want to clear whole metadata device - however current
function is also used for wipping i.e. snapshot COW device which
is likely not a good candidate for full device zeroing.
We may also need to think about better logic when extent size is
enforcing very large LVs, when only a small portion of LV is ever
being used.
3. Using TRIM instead of zeroing metadata device might be worth to
implement.
mm
To avoid polution of metadata with some 'garbage' content or eventualy
some leak of stale data in case user want to upload metadata somewhere,
ensure upon allocation the metadata device is fully zeroed.
Behaviour may slow down allocation of thin-pool or cache-pool a bit
so the old behaviour can be restored with lvm.conf setting:
allocation/zero_metadata=0
TODO: add zeroing for extension of metadata volume.
Failure in wiping/zeroing stop the command.
If user wants to avoid command abortion he should use -Zn or -Wn
to avoid wiping.
Note: there is no easy way to distinguish which kind of failure has
happend - so it's safe to not proceed any futher.
When initiated larger write request, it may have happened, bcache

To create a new cache or writecache LV with a single command:
lvcreate --type cache|writecache
-n Name -L Size --cachedevice PVfast VG [PVslow ...]
- A new main linear|striped LV is created as usual, using the
specified -n Name and -L Size, and using the optionally
specified PVslow devices.
- Then, a new cachevol LV is created internally, using PVfast
specified by the cachedevice option.
- Then, the cachevol is attached to the main LV, converting the
main LV to type cache|writecache.
Include --cachesize Size to specify the size of cache|writecache
to create from the specified --cachedevice PVs, otherwise the
entire cachedevice PV is used. The --cachedevice option can be
repeated to create the cache from multiple devices, or the
cachedevice option can contain a tag name specifying a set of PVs
to allocate the cache from.
To create a new cache or writecache LV with a single command
using an existing cachevol LV:
lvcreate --type cache|writecache
-n Name -L Size --cachevol LVfast VG [PVslow ...]
- A new main linear|striped LV is created as usual, using the
specified -n Name and -L Size, and using the optionally
specified PVslow devices.
- Then, the cachevol LVfast is attached to the main LV, converting
the main LV to type cache|writecache.
In cases where more advanced types (for the main LV or cachevol LV)
are needed, they should be created independently and then combined
with lvconvert.
Example
-------
user creates a new VG with one slow device and one fast device:
$ vgcreate vg /dev/slow1 /dev/fast1
user creates a new 8G main LV on /dev/slow1 that uses all of
/dev/fast1 as a writecache:
$ lvcreate --type writecache --cachedevice /dev/fast1
-n main -L 8G vg /dev/slow1
Example
-------
user creates a new VG with two slow devs and two fast devs:
$ vgcreate vg /dev/slow1 /dev/slow2 /dev/fast1 /dev/fast2
user creates a new 8G main LV on /dev/slow1 and /dev/slow2
that uses all of /dev/fast1 and /dev/fast2 as a writecache:
$ lvcreate --type writecache --cachedevice /dev/fast1 --cachedevice /dev/fast2
-n main -L 8G vg /dev/slow1 /dev/slow2
Example
-------
A user has several slow devices and several fast devices in their VG,
the slow devs have tag @slow, the fast devs have tag @fast.
user creates a new 8G main LV on the slow devs with a
2G writecache on the fast devs:
$ lvcreate --type writecache -n main -L 8G
--cachedevice @fast --cachesize 2G vg @slow
It's possible for a dev-cache entry to remain after all
paths for it have been removed, and other parts of the
code expect that a dev always has a name. A better fix
may be to remove a device from dev-cache after all paths
to it have been removed.
When either logical block size or physical block size is 4K,
then lvmlockd creates sanlock leases based on 4K sectors,
but the lvm client side would create the internal lvmlock LV
based on the first logical block size it saw in the VG,
which could be 512. This could cause the lvmlock LV to be
too small to hold all the sanlock leases. Make the lvm client
side use the same sizing logic as lvmlockd.
dm-integrity stores checksums of the data written to an
LV, and returns an error if data read from the LV does
not match the previously saved checksum. When used on
raid images, dm-raid will correct the error by reading
the block from another image, and the device user sees
no error. The integrity metadata (checksums) are stored
on an internal LV allocated by lvm for each linear image.
The internal LV is allocated on the same PV as the image.
Create a raid LV with an integrity layer over each
raid image (for raid levels 1,4,5,6,10):
lvcreate --type raidN --raidintegrity y [options]
Add an integrity layer to images of an existing raid LV:
lvconvert --raidintegrity y LV
Remove the integrity layer from images of a raid LV:
lvconvert --raidintegrity n LV
Settings
Use --raidintegritymode journal|bitmap (journal is default)
to configure the method used by dm-integrity to ensure
crash consistency.
Initialization
When integrity is added to an LV, the kernel needs to
initialize the integrity metadata/checksums for all blocks
in the LV. The data corruption checking performed by
dm-integrity will only operate on areas of the LV that
are already initialized. The progress of integrity
initialization is reported by the "syncpercent" LV
reporting field (and under the Cpy%Sync lvs column.)
Example: create a raid1 LV with integrity:
$ lvcreate --type raid1 -m1 --raidintegrity y -n rr -L1G foo
Creating integrity metadata LV rr_rimage_0_imeta with size 12.00 MiB.
Logical volume "rr_rimage_0_imeta" created.
Creating integrity metadata LV rr_rimage_1_imeta with size 12.00 MiB.
Logical volume "rr_rimage_1_imeta" created.
Logical volume "rr" created.
$ lvs -a foo

[rr_rimage_1_iorig] foo -wi-ao---- 1.00g

When vdopool is activated standalone - we use a wrapping linear device
to hold actual vdo device active - for this we can set-up read-only
device to ensure there cannot be made write through this device to
actual pool device.
Creating a snapshot was using a persistent LV lock
on the origin, so if the origin LV was inactive at
the time of the snapshot the LV lock would remain.
(Running lvchange -an on the inactive LV would
clear the LV lock.) Use a transient LV lock so it
will be dropped if it was not locked previously.
When formating VDO volume, the calculated amound of bits
for 'vdoformat --slab-bits' parameter was shifted by 2 bits
(calculated size was making 2MiB vdo_slab_size_mb value appear like if
user would be specifying only 512KiB)
Fixed by properly converting internal size_mb value to KiB.
Fix the anoying kernel message reported:
device-mapper: cache: 253:2: metadata operation 'dm_cache_commit' failed: error = -5
which has been reported while cachevol has been removed.
Happened via confusing variable - so switch the variable to commonly user '_size'
which presents a value in sector units and avoid 'scaling' this as extent length
by vg extent size when placing 'error' target on removal path.
Patch shouldn't have impact on actual users data, since at this moment
of removal all date should have been already flushed to origin device.

The previous patch improved read of pipe when lvm2 was looking
for default logical size, but we clearly must read pipe also
for -V case, when the logical size is already defined.
Still the place can be better to block only particular reshape
operations which ATM cause kernel problems.
We check if the new number of images is higher - and prevent to take
conversion if the volume is in use (i.e. thin-pool's data LV).
clang: it's supposedly impossible path to hit, as we should always
have origin_lv defined when running this path, but adding protection
isn't a big issue to make this obvious to analyzer.
Since _reserve_area() may fail due to error allocation failure,
add support to report this already reported failure upward.
FIXME: it's log_error() without causing direct command failure.
Although we expect min_chunk_size to be 32bit value, for
large size of caches it might be useful to do calcs 64bit.
So to avoid doing shift as signed 32bit - use unsigned 64bit
from the start.
reporting fields (-o) directly from kernel:
writecache_total_blocks
writecache_free_blocks
writecache_writeback_blocks
writecache_error
The data_percent field shows used cache blocks / total cache blocks.
Until we resolve reshape for 'stacked' devices, we need to disable it.
So users can no longer reshape i.e. thin-pool data volumes, causing
ATM bad thin-pool problems.
After the VG lock is taken for vg_read, reread the mda_header
and compare the metadata text offset and checksum to what was
seen during label scan. If it is unchanged, then the metadata
has not changed since the label scan, and the metadata does not
need to be reread under the lock for command processing.
For commands that do not make changes (e.g. reporting), the
mda_header is reread and checked on one mda to decide if the
full metadata rereading can be skipped. For other commands
(e.g. modifying the vg) the mda_header is reread and checked
from all PVs. (These could probably just check one mda also.)
When pvcreate/pvremove prompt the user, they first release
the global lock, then acquire it again after the prompt,
to avoid blocking other commands while waiting for a user
response. This release/reacquire changes the locking
order with respect to the hints flock (and potentially other
locks). So, to avoid deadlock, use a nonblocking request
when reacquiring the global lock.
Avoid mem leaking hint on every loop continue and
allocate hint only when it's going to be added into list.
Switch to use 'dm_strncpy()' and validate sizes.
For dev_in_device_list() != 0 allocated 'devl' was
actually leaking - so instead allocate 'devl' only
when !dev_in_device_list() and indent code around.
Since we check for NULL pointers earlier we need
to be consistent across function - since the NULL
would applies across whole function.
When dropping 'mda' check - we are actually
already dereferencing it before - so it can't
be NULL at that places (and it's validated
before entering _read_mda_header_and_metadata).
dev_unset_last_byte() must be called while the fd is still valid.
After a write error, dev_unset_last_byte() must be called before
closing the dev and resetting the fd.
In the write error path, dev_unset_last_byte() was being called
after label_scan_invalidate() which meant that it would not unset
the last_byte values.
After a write error, dev_unset_last_byte() is now called in
dev_write_bytes() before label_scan_invalidate(), instead of by
the caller of dev_write_bytes().
In the common case of a successful write, the sequence is still:
dev_set_last_byte(); dev_write_bytes(); dev_unset_last_byte();

When resizing 2 volumes like thin-pool and it's metadata and they
would be of a different type - command would be actually expecting
both LVs being of a same segtype - and would throw an error in
case they are different.
This patch fixes is by setting a new segtype from last segment of
2nd. extented device.
Also it fixes the possible 'percentage' extension setup that
might have been used for 'primary' volume - while the 'secondary'
LV always goes with direct size - as we do not support 'percentage'
setup for them
This affects maily usage of thin-pool where the extension of
thin-pool data size may also lead to extension of metadata size.
Instead of checking all LVs in a VG - do just a direct copy of LVs
from the existing list ->segs_using_thin_lv.
TODO: maybe it could be better to expose seg_list to /tools...
Enhance lv_info with lv_info_with_name_check.
This 'variant' not only check existance if UUID in DM table
but also compares its DM name whether it's matching expected LV name.
Otherwise activation may 'skip' activation with rename in case the
DM UUID already exists, just device is different name.
This change make fairly easier manipulation with i.e. detached mirror
leg which ATM is using same UUID - just the LV name have been changed.
Used code was not able to run 'activation' (and do a rename) and just
skipped the call. So the code used to do a workaround and 'tried'
to deactivate such LV firts - this however work only in non-clvmd case,
as cluster was not having the lock for deactivated LV.
With this extended lv_info code will run 'activation' and will
synchronize the name to match expected LV name.
Patch extends _lv_info() with new paramter 'with_name_check',
which is later translated into 'name_check' argument for
_info_run() which in case of name mismatch evaluates the
check as if device does not exists.
Such call is only used in one place _lv_activate() which then
let activation run. All other invocation of _info() calls
are left intact.
TODO: fix mirror table manipulation (and raid)....
The return value from bcache_invalidate_fd() was not being checked.
So I've introduced a little function, _invalidate_fd() that always
calls bcache_abort_fd() if the write fails.
The resume of 'released' 'COW' should preceed the resume of origin.
The fact we need to do the sequence differently for merge was
cause by bugs fixed in 2 previous commits - so we no longer need
to recognize 'merging' and we should always go with single
sequence.
The importance of this order is - to properly remove '-real' device
from origin LV. When COW is activated as 2nd. '-real' device is
kept in table as it cannot be removed during 1st. resume of origin,
and later activation of COW LV no longer builds tree associated
with origin LV.
When checking device id of a thin device that is just being
merged - the snapshot actually could have been already finished
which means '-real' suffix for the LV is already gone and just LV
is there - so check explicitely for this condition and use
correct UUID for this case.
When a cachevol LV is attached, have the LV keep it's lock
allocated. The lock on the cachevol won't be used while
it's attached. When the cachevol is split a new lock does
not need to be allocated. (Applies to cachevol usage by
both dm-cache and dm-writecache.)
When LV gets cached and uses cache-pool - such cache-pool
will now get _cpool suffix automatically.
Thus 'Pool' column for cached LV will now show either _cvol
or _cpool LV.
Before 'archive()' is called, lvm2 must not touch/modify metadata.
So move setting CACHE_VOL related flags past this point.
Also make sure reading of cache segtype always restores this
flag properly (even if compatible flag would be lost).
Since code is using -cdata and -cmeta UUID suffixes, it does not need
any new 'extra' ID to be generated and stored in metadata.
Since introduce of new 'segtype' cache+CACHE_USES_CACHEVOL we can
safely assume 'new' cache with cachevol will now be created
without extra metadata_id and data_id in metadata.
For backward compatibility, code still reads them in case older
version of metadata have them - so it still should be able
to activate such volumes.
Bonus is lowered size of lv structure used to store info about LV
(noticable with big volume groups).
The first part of a cachevol LV is used for metadata,
and the rest of the space is used for data. The
division of space between metadata and data depends
on the total size of the cachevol.
The previous division gave more space than needed to
metadata, it was:
cachevol size 8M to 128M -> metadata size 16M *
cachevol size 128M to 1G -> metadata size 32M
cachevol size 1G and up -> metadata size 64M
(* if this resulted in over half the LV used as
metadata, then half the cachevol would be used
for metadata, and the other half for data.)
The division of space now gives less space to
metadata, it is:
cachevol size 8M to 16M -> metadata size 4M
cachevol size 16M to 4G -> metadata size 8M
cachevol size 4G to 16G -> metadata size 16M
cachevol size 16G to 32G -> metadata size 32M
cachevol size 32G and up -> metadata size 64M
When a VG contains some LVs with unknown segtypes, the user
should still be allowed to activate other LVs in the VG that
are understood.

A cachevol LV had the CACHE_VOL status flag in metadata,
and the cache LV using it had no new flag. This caused
problems if the new metadata was used by an old version
of lvm. An old version of lvm would have two problems
processing the new metadata:
. The old lvm would return an error when reading the VG
metadata when it saw the unknown CACHE_VOL status flag.
. The old lvm would return an error when reading the VG
metadata because it would not find an expected cache pool
attached to the cache LV (since the cache LV had a
cachevol attached instead.)
Change the use of flags:
. Change the CACHE_VOL flag to be a COMPATIBLE flag (instead
of a STATUS flag) so that old versions will not fail when
they see it.
. When a cache LV is using a cachevol, the cache LV gets
a new SEGTYPE flag CACHE_USES_CACHEVOL. This flag is
appended to the segtype name, so that old lvm versions
will fail to use the LV because of an unknown segtype,
as opposed to failing to read the VG.
Enhance activation of cached devices using cachevol.
Correctly instatiace cachevol -cdata & -cmeta devices with
'-' in name (as they are only layered devices).
Code is also a bit more compacted (although still not ideal,
as the usage of extra UUIDs stored in metadata is troublesome
and will be repaired later).
NOTE: this patch my brink potentially minor incompatiblity for 'runtime' upgrade
Let vgck --updatemetadata repair cases where different mdas
hold indepedently valid but unmatching copies of the metadata,
i.e. different text metadata checksums or text metadata sizes.
vgck --updatemetadata would write the same correct
metadata to good mdas, and then to bad mdas, but the
sequence of vg_write/vg_commit calls betwen good and
bad mdas could cause a different description field to
be generated for good/bad mdas. (The description field
describing the command was recently included in the
ondisk copy of the metadata text.)
If a VG is forcibly changed from lock_type sanlock to
lock_type none, the internal lvmlock LV is left behind.
If that LV is not removed before vgremove is run on the
VG, then an internal check will be triggered by the
hidden lvmlock LV. So, check for and remove a left over
lvmlock LV during vgremove.

Previously only 'lvdisplay -m' was exposing them.
Since we now support activation of 'vdo' volume
without explicit activation of 'vdopool' it's now possible
to have active layer vdopool (-vpool) volume and
having vdopool itself inactive - yet still in this
case we can show available stats for this volume.
But we need to show correct activation status and other
standard info.
Avoid checking 'lv_is_active()' since special LV types does this
validation anyway what calling _percent() function and call it
ONLY when none of special types is queried.
This restores support for VDO resize (as with support for
separate VDO pool activation, plain query for lv_is_active()
is not working in this case).
If the linear mapping is lost (for whatever reason, i.e.
test suite forcible 'dmsetup remove' linear LV,
lvm2 had hard times figuring out how to deactivate such DM table.
So add function which is in case inactive VDO pool LV checks if
the pool is actually still active (-vpool device present) and
it has open count == 0. In this case deactivation is allowed
to continue and cleanup DM table.
- use internal CACHE_VOL flag on cachevol LV
- add suffixes to dm uuids for internal LVs
- display appropriate letters in the LV attr field
- display writecache's cachevol in lvs output
. For dm-cache in writethrough, always allow splitcache,
whether the cache is missing PVs or not.
. For dm-cache in writeback, if the cache is missing PVs,
allow splitcache with force and yes.
. For dm-writecache, if the cache is missing PVs,
allow splitcache with force and yes.
Enhance 'activation' experience for VDO pool to more closely match
what happens for thin-pools where we do use a 'fake' LV to keep pool
running even when no thinLVs are active. This gives user a choice
whether he want to keep thin-pool running (wihout possibly lenghty
activation/deactivation process)
As we do plan to support multple VDO LVs to be mapped into a single VDO,
we want to give user same experience and 'use-patter' as with thin-pools.
This patch gives option to activate VDO pool only without activating
VDO LV.
Also due to 'fake' layering LV we can protect usage of VDO pool from
command like 'mkfs' which do require exlusive access to the volume,
which is no longer possible.
Note: VDO pool contains 1024 initial sectors as 'empty' header - such
header is also exposed in layered LV (as read-only LV).
For blkid we are indentified as LV with UUID suffix - thus private DM
device of lvm2 - so we do not need to store any extra info in this
header space (aka zero is good enough).
When lvm2 is activating layered pool LV (to basically keep pool opened,
the other function used to be 'locking' be in sync with DM table)
use this LV in read-only mode - this prevents 'write' access into
data volume content of thin-pool.
Note: since EMPTY/unused thin-pool is created as 'public LV' for generic
use by any user who i.e. wish to maintain thin-pool and thins himself.
At this moment, thin-pool appears as writable LV. As soon as the 1st.
thinLV is created, layer volume will appear is 'read-only' LV from this moment.
When an online PV completed a VG, the standard
activation functions were used to activate the VG.
These functions use a full scan of all devs.
When many pvscans are run during startup and need
to activate many VGs, scanning all devs from all
the pvscans can take a long time.
Optimize VG activation in pvscan to scan only the
devs in the VG being activated. This makes use of
the online file info that was used to determine
the VG was complete.
The downside of this approach is that pvscan activation
will not detect duplicate PVs and block activation,
where a normal activation command (which scans all
devices) would.
Fixes a regression from commit ba7ff96faf
"improve reading and repairing vg metadata"
where the error path for a vg name with invalid
charaters was missing an error flag, which led
to the caller not recognizing an error occured.
Previously, an error flag was hidden in the old
_vg_make_handle function.
Only the first entry of the filter array was being
included in the copy of the filter, rather than the
entire thing. The result is that hints would not be
refreshed if the filter was changed but the first
entry was unchanged.
Fixes a segfault in the recent commit e01fddc57:
"improve duplicate pv handling for md components"
While choosing between duplicates, the info struct is
not always valid; it may have been dropped already.
Remove the code that was still using the info struct for
size comparisons. The size comparisons were a bogus check
anyway because it was just preferring the dev that had
already been chosen, it wasn't actually comparing the
dev size to the PV size. It would be good to use a
dev/PV size comparison in the duplicate handling code, but
the PV size is not available until after vg_read, not
from the scan.
Since we need to preserve allocated strings across 2 separate
activation calls of '_tree_action()' we need to use other mem
pool them dm->mem - but since cmd->mem is released between
individual lvm2 locking calls, we rather introduce a new separate
mem pool just for pending deletes with easy to see life-span.
(not using 'libmem' as it would basicaly keep allocations over
the whole lifetime of clvmd)
This patch is fixing previous commmit where the memory was
improperly used after pool release.
Update configure and make code compilable if prlimit() is not present.
Since the code is suspicious do not cope yet with it's replacement
with set/getrlimit().
New udev in rawhide seems to be 'dropping' udev rule operations for devices
that are no longer existing - while this is 'probably' a bug - it's
revealing moments in lvm2 that likely should not run in a single
transaction and we should wait for a cookie before submitting more work.
TODO: it seem more 'error' paths should always include synchronization
before starting deactivating 'just activated' devices.
We should probably figure out some 'automatic' solution for this instead
of placing sync_local_dev_name() all over the place...
Support internal removal of 'cache origin' volume - which we
do not normally expose to a user - however internal processing
loops may hit this condition (depending on order of list LVs).
So when this operation is internally requested - we automatically
try to remove it's 'holding' LV (cache LV) - which will also
remove the origin.
Drop the 'cluster-only' optimization so we do resume ALL device
before we try to wait on cookie before 'removal' operation.
It's more correct order of operation - alhtough possibly slightly
less efficient - but until we have correct list of operations
'in-progress' we can't do anything better.
With previous patch 30a98e4d67 we
started to put devices one pending_delete list instead
of directly scheduling their removal.
However we have operations like 'snapshot merge' where we are
resuming device tree in 2 subsequent activation calls - so
1st such call will still have suspened devices and no chance
to push 'remove' ioctl.
Since we curently cannot easily solve this by doing just single
activation call (which would be preferred solution) - we introduce
a preservation of pending_delete via command structure and
then restore it on next activation call.
This way we keep to remove devices later - although it might be
not the best moment - this may need futher tunning.
Also we don't keep the list of operation in 1 trasaction
(unless we do verify udev symlinks) - this could probably
also make it more correct in terms of which 'remove' can
be combined we already running 'resume'.
Resuming of 'error' table entry followed with it's dirrect removal
is now troublesame with latest udev as it may skip processing of
udev rules for already 'dropped' device nodes.
As we cannot 'synchronize' with udev while we know we have devices
in suspended state - rework 'cleanup' so it collects nodes
for removal into pending_delete list and process the list with
synchronization once we are without any suspended nodes.
When pvmove is finished, we do a tricky operation since we try to
resume multiple different device that were all joined into 1 big tree.
Currently we use the infromation from existing live DM table,
where we can get list of all holders of pvmove device.
We look for these nodes (by uuid) in new metadata, and we do now a full
regular device add into dm tree structure. All devices should be
already PRELOAD with correct table before entering suspend state,
however for correctly working readahead we need to put correct info
also into RESUME tree. Since table are preloaded, the same table
is skip and resume, but correct read ahead is now set.
Eliminate md components at the start so they don't
interfere with actual duplicates, and don't need
to be removed later. This also allows for choosing
no copy of a PVID if they all happen to be md
components.
