Do not allow to take snapshot of mirror/raid leg or log or metadata LV.
This was actually never supported, but user was able to create it,
and this put device stack in hardly fixable state (needs manual work).
This prevents such creation to pass.
Also improve validation when recreating snapshot volume type
from origin and COW volume.
Correction to function for extracting vgname out of lvconvert
parameters.
Avoid repeating some checks.
Add code to handle generic options which may provide vgname in its argument
and compare them all so they match to a single vgname (otherwise it's a
error).
Extract default (envvar) vgname only when no position nor optional vgname is
found.
Fixing regression instroduce with patchset started with commit:
1e2420bca8 (2.02.169)
lvcreate supports a 'conversion' when caching LV.
This normally worked fine, however in case passed LV was
thin-pool's data LV with suffix _tdata we have failed to early.
As the easiest fix looks dropping validation of name when
caching type is select - such name check will happen later
once the VG is opened again and properly detect if the LV
with protected name already exists and can be converted,
or will be rejected as ambigiuous operation requiring user
to specify --type cache | --type cache-pool.
Replaced the confusing device error message "not found (or ignored by
filtering)" by either "not found" or "excluded by a filter".
(Later we should be able to say which filter.)
Left the the liblvm code paths alone.
vgmerge suffers from a similar problem to the one fixed in commit
8146548d25 ("vgsplit: Fix intermediate
metadata corruption.")
When merging, splitting or renaming VGs, use a new PV status flag
PV_MOVED_VG to mark the PVs that hold metadata with the old VG name and
use this to provide PV-level granularity instead of incorrectly assuming
all PVs in the VG are the same.
Changing the VG of a PV uses the same on-disk mechanism as vgrename.
This relies on recognising both the old and new VG names. Prior to this
patch the vgsplit code incorrectly provided the new VG name twice
instead of the old and new ones. This lead the low-level mechanism not
to recognise the device as already belonging to a VG and so paying no
attention to the location of its existing metadata, sometimes partly
overwriting it and then later trying to read the corrupt metadata and
issuing a checksum error.
When certain cmd def RULE's fail, the error messages can
sometimes be confusing. This expands the error messages
to help clarify why the rule failed, especially in cases
where options are used incorrectly.
In a shared VG, only allow pvmove with a named LV,
so that only PE's used by the LV will be moved.
The LV is then activated exclusively, ensuring that
the PE's being moved are not used from another host.
Previously, pvmove was mistakenly allowed on a full PV.
This won't work when LVs using that PV are active on
other hosts.
Enable handling of --poolmetadataspare so if user can prevent
creation of _pmspare volume during --repair operation (just
like during actual lvcreate or lvconvert) for pool volumes.
The following commands now pass the device list through a
--select|-S filter before processing:
suspend resume clear wipe_table remove deps status table
In a shared VG, lvconvert must be used to create thin pools
and cache pools, not the lvcreate variants of those commands.
Deny these cases early in lvcreate using the new command defs.
Denying these cases deeper in the code was missing some
cleanup of the partially completed command.
If the PV was originally created with a larger-than-default
metadata area the restored one wasn't and might not even be
large enough to hold the metadata!
Previously the cache remembered an existing bootloaderarea and
reinstated it (without even checking for overlap) when asked to
write out the PV. pvcreate could write out an incorrect layout.
Add the new concise format to dmsetup create, either as a single
command-line parameter or from stdin.

Set shell failure mode on couple places.
lvm2 warned about zeroing and too big chunksize (>=512KiB), but
only during lvconvert, so lvcreate was creating thin-pools
without any warning about possible slowness of thin provisioning
because of zeroing.
Create a new table output format that concisely shows multiple devices
on one line.
dmsetup table --concise [device...]
<dev_name>,<uuid>,<flags>[,<table>]*[;<dev_name>,<uuid>,<flags>[,<table>]*]*
Table lines are separated by commas.
Devices are separated by semi-colons.
Flags is currently 'ro' or 'rw' (and might be extended in a
yet-to-be-defined way in future).
Any comma, semi-colon or backslash within a field is quoted by a
preceding backslash.
The format can later be supplied as input to dmsetup or even to the
booting kernel as an alternative way to set up devices.

Enric Balletbo i Serra <enric.balletbo@collabora.com>.
Add an independent command definition for "vgchange --locktype",
and split the implementation out of the set of common metadata
changes. It is unlike normal metadata changes, and can only
be run by itself. (Changing the lock type is similar in
principle to changing the VG name or the VG system ID; it
effects the ability of any host to see or access the VG.)
At some point this command lost the ability to forcibly change
the lock type of a shared VG to "none" (making it a local VG).
This can be necessary to repair shared VGs (e.g. recovery steps
that occur in vg_read are disabled for shared VGs because
they are not locked properly, or recovering sanlock locks
when the PV holding them is lost.)
"vgchange --locktype none --lockopt force VG" is used as the
method of forcing the shared VG to become local so that it
can be repaired.
Commit 9b4b5d449e started to accept
rather way to wide set of strings we do not want to take for size.
i.e. lvresize -t vg0/lvol0 -LNaNM
Restore check for 'digit || locales defined 'dot' | '.'
(as we tend to take '.' even if locales uses ',')
Explictely detect duplicate sing symbols and leave the rest of
double number validation on 'strtod()' function. This way
we can also accept size like:
lvcreate -L.1M
We already accept -L0.1M - but it's common to accept numbers
starting with leading '.' - just as 'strtod()' accepts it).
API for strtod() or strtoul() needs reset of errno, before it's being
called. So add missing resets in missing places and some also some
errno validation for out-of-range numbers.
Since we are reading size as (double) we can get way bigger
number then just plain int64. So to make this check actually
more valid and usable do a maxsize compare in 'double'.
Fix the error messages when an unrecognized command is
run from a script. We shouldn't attempt to parse options
for an unrecognized command name, which causes misleading
errors about bad options, but rather exit right when we
know the command name is not valid. Also don't complain
about exiting without an error message when running a
script if no command didn't exist.
lvm_run needs to place NULL as the last element into argv[].
Otherwise we get:
Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)
_command_required_pos_matches (lvmcmdline.c:1443)
_find_command (lvmcmdline.c:1610)
lvm_run_command (lvmcmdline.c:2770)

When raid leg rimage device is marked as 'D'ead by mdcore,
lvm2 was not able to replace such device with allocate policy,
as device has not appared as missing.
Add detection of transiently failing devices.
When old snapshot is merged, lvm2 still can report some data about
merged 'snapshot' - i.e. it occupied space in VG.
This patch fixes regression from commit:
6fd20be629
and resolved RHBZ: 1460161
Code path missed validation of lvcreate --cachepool argument.
If the non cache-pool LV was passed in, code has still continued
further work and failed later on internal error. Validate this
condition at right place now.
Add an exception to not allowing lvchange to change properties
on hidden LVs. When a thin pool data LV is a cache LV, we
need to allow changing cache properties on the tdata sublv of
the thin pool.
Trap cases where the percentage calculation currently leads to an empty
LV and the message:
Internal error: Unable to create new logical volume with no extents
Additionally convert the calculated number of extents from physical to
logical when creating a mirror using a percentage that is based on
Physical Extents. Otherwise a command like 'lvcreate -m3 -l80%FREE'
can never leave any free space.
This brings the behaviour closer to that of lvresize.
(A further patch is needed to cover all the raid types.)
There were a handful of references to other man
pages using the standard command(N) form which were
not in bold, so they were not turned into links
in html formats.
Clean up the handling of memory used for cmd defs
so it doesn't trip up memory debugging.
Allocate memory for commands[] from libmem.
Free temporary memory used by define_commands()

Clear all the command def state in in lvm_fin().
Using any arg with a command name in a script file
would cause the command to fail.
The name of the script file being executed was being passed
to lvm_register_commands() and define_commands(), which
prevented command defs from being defined (simple commands
were still being defined only by name which was enough for those
to still work when run trivially with no args).
The logic for suggesting the nearest valid command syntax
was missing the simplest case. If a command has only one
valid syntax, that is the one we should suggest. (We were
suggesting nothing in this case.)
If the device size does not match the size requested
by --setphysicalvolumesize, then prompt the user.
Make the pvcreate checking/prompting code handle
multiple prompts for the same device, since the
new prompt can be in addition to the existing
prompt when the PV is in a VG.

When a cmd def RULE fails because of a disallowed
combination of options, improve the error message
to show the option combination, not just the options
that broke the rule.
A command def can include a specific constant option value,
but the value was not being checked for optional opts.
e.g. this is an incorrect command and does not match any
command defs:
lvconvert --type cache --cachepool vg/lv
However, it was mistakely being matched to this cmd def,
where the required options match, but the optional options
do not:
lonvert --cachepool LV_linear_striped_raid_cachepool
OO: --type cache-pool, ...
The optional options were mistakely considered matching
because 'cache' and 'cache-pool' were not being compared.
lvchange/lvconvert operations that do not require the LV
to already be active need to acquire a transient LV lock
before changing/converting the LV to ensure the LV is not
active on another host. If the LV is already active,
a persistent LV lock already exists on the host and the
transient LV lock request is a no-op.
Some lvmlockd locks in lvchange were lost in the cmd def
changes. The lvmlockd locks in lvconvert seem to have
been missed from the start.
The actual value specified by the --poll y|n option was not
being used. The way the --poll value is used is hidden
through an indirection where the value is stored in a
global variable at the start of the command, and then the
value is read from there later. Setting the global
variable early in the command had been lost with the
cmd def changes.
Fill in some gaps where old versions of lvm allowed
--poll and --monitor in combination with other operations,
but those combinations had been lost since the cmd def work.
(The new cmd def code also added some combinations that
had been missed by the old code.)
Changes:
lvchange --activate: add poll and monitor options, and
add calls to them in implementation.
lvchange --refresh: add monitor option (poll already there),
and call to monitor in implementation.
lvchange <metadata ops>: add poll and monitor options, and
add calls to them in implementation.
vgchange <metadata ops>: add poll option (call to poll
already in implementation).
vgchange --refresh: remove monitor option (not used by code)
lvchange --persistent y: add poll and monitor options, and
add calls to them, and to activate
in the implementation. (Making it
match the main lvchange metadata
command.)
Summary of current usage:
lvchange --activate: monitor, poll
vgchange --activate: monitor, poll
lvchange --refresh: monitor, poll
vgchange --refresh: poll
lvchange --monitor: ok
lvchange --poll: ok
lvchange --monitor --poll: ok
vgchange --monitor: ok
vgchange --poll: ok
vgchange --monitor --poll: ok
lvchange <metadata ops>: monitor, poll

Don't abbreviate the --help output quite as much
when there are many command defs. Print all the
options in the cmd defs that are shown. --longhelp
output is unchanged and includes everything.
These days --partial is only used with activation in
lvchange/vgchange. It probably had another meaning
at some point in history which is no longer used,
so ignore it in those cases.
When included in the OO list, the option is advertised in
help/man output, implying it is meaningful to the command,
when in fact the command never uses it.
The IO list means the option won't cause an error if it's
used, but is not displayed as an valid option for the command.
If the option is not included in either OO or IO lists,
using the option would cause a command error, which would cause
problems for anyone is using the option for historical reasons.
_lvchange_properties_single() processes multiple command

narrowed down on addressing the escaping of hyphens
in the dynamic creation of manuals whilst avoiding
them in creating help texts. This lead to a sequence
of slipping through hyphens adrressed by additional
patches in aforementioned commit series.
On the other hand, postprocessing dynamically man-generator
created and statically provided manuals catches all hyphens
in need of escaping.
Changes:
- revert the above commits whilst keeping man-generator
streamlining and the detection of any '\' when generating
help texts in order to avoid escapes to slip in
- Dynamically escape hyphens in manaual pages using sed(1)
in the respective Makefile targets
- remove any manually added escaping on hyphens from any
static manual sources or headers

The recent command definitions commit took the command
name from argv[0] without applying basename to the value,
so a pathname, e.g. /usr/sbin, would cause lvm to not
recognize the command name.
Fixes command defs related to creating a new thin pool and
then a new thin lv in the new pool.
1. lvcreate --size --virtualsize --thinpool
Needs a cmd def, it was missing.
The def is unique by the three required
options: size, virtualsize and thinpool.
2. lvcreate --size --virtualsize --thinpool VG
Needs a cmd def, it was missing.
The def is unique by the three required
options: size, virtualsize and thinpool,
and one required positional arg: VG.
3. lvcreate --thin --virtualsize --size LV_new|VG
This existing def should not accept an optional
--type thin, which if used makes it indistinct
from another def.
4. lvcreate --size --virtualsize VG
This existing def should not accept an optional
--type thin or --thin, which if used makes it
indistinct from other defs (e.g. 3)
This reverts commit 642d682d8d.
Using the thinpool option with this cmd def makes it
indistinct from other cmd defs where thinpool is a
required option.
lvcreate --thinpool POOL1 -L 100M --virtualsize 100M snapper_thinp

(The general rule is that a command is accepted if it is unambiguous.
The combination -L -V --thinpool uniquely identifies the operation.)
Repairing missing devices does not work reliably
with lvmetad, so disable lvmetad before repair.
A standard lvmetad refresh (pvscan --cache) will
enable lvmetad again.
When a given command:
- matches command definition A based on required options,
but uses optional options that are not accepted by A.
- matches command definition B based on required options,
(but fewer required items than A), and uses no
unaccepted optional options.
then B is the correct choice. Command A would fail because
of the unaccepted optional options. The logic was mistakenly
letting A win because it had a greater number of required option
matches, without accounting for the optional option mismatches.
Systematically outline every combination of:
--type striped, --type mirror, --type raid, --mirrors, --stripes
and make sure each is assigned to one specific cmd def.
This revealed that a new command def is needed for
lvcreate that uses both --mirrors and --stripes
but no --type option.
The use of LVCREATE_RAID shortcut for an option set
resulted in mirrors/stripes being included in optional
opts set when they were already in the required list.
As was recently done with relative signes for sizes/extents,
limit the signs used with the mirrors option, e.g.
lvcreate --mirrors now does not accept or advertise an
optional minus sign with the value. lvconvert --mirrors
accepts +|-.
The LVCONVERT_RAID shortcut for including options ended
up including mirrors/stripes as optional opts in defs where
they were already required, or in defs where they would
not be used. Remove the option set and specify in each
case only the options wanted.
OO_LVCREATE_CACHE accepts --cachemetadataformat.
Support new option --cachemetadataformat auto|1|2 for caching.
Word 'auto' can be also be given as '0'.
As now we can properly recognize all paramerters for pool creation,
we may drop PASS_ARG_ defines and rely on '_UNSELECTED' or 0 entries
as being those without user given args.
When setting are not given on command line - 'update' function
fill them from profiles or configuration. For this 'profile' arg
was needed to be passed around and since 'VG' itself is not needed,
it's been all replaced with 'cmd, profile, extents_size' args.
Reuse same code for getting/setting cache parameters with lvcreate.
So there is single one place how to get vars from profiles and configs.
Variables declarations are moved to start of function and
there is no need to initialize them as they are always
defined by functions get_cache_params() and get_pool_params().
Fix missing reset of '*settings' pointer when no args were given.
Handle cache_chunk settings like all other settings, so it is properly
updated only with non-zero settings and the existing cache-pool
chunk_size is not being reconfigured.
Split-off patch that just replaces returns with 'goto bad'
so there is single place to release policy_settings.
In the next patch we will start to use some shared
function call between lvconvert and lvcreate
(effectively restoring previous logic which has got lost).
To more easily recognize unselected state from select '0' state
add new 'THIN_ZERO_UNSELECTED' enum.
Same applies to THIN_DISCARDS_UNSELECTED.
For those we no longer need to use PASS_ARG_ZERO or PASS_ARG_DISCARDS.
Older compilers cannot tell that the 'mode' variable is only
used in branches in which it is assigned:
dmsetup.c:5651: warning: "mode" may be used uninitialized in this function
dmsetup.c:5023: warning: "mode" may be used uninitialized in this function
Avoid this by always assigning the variable a value.
Launch an instance of the filemap monitoring daemon when creating,
or updating, a file mapped group, unless the --nomonitor switch is

Unless --foreground is given the daemon will detach from the

The --follow={inode|path} switch is added to control the daemon
behaviour when files are moved, unlinked, or renamed while they
are being monitored.
The daemon runs with the same verbosity as the dmstats command
that starts it.

Add new values for different sign variations, resulting in:
size_VAL no sign accepted
ssize_VAL accepts + or -
psize_VAL accepts +
nsize_VAL accpets -
extents_VAL no sign accepted
sextents_VAL accepts + or -
pextents_VAL accepts +
nextents_VAL accepts -
Depending on the command being run, change the option
values for --size, --extents, --poolmetadatasize to
use the appropriate value from above.
lvcreate uses no sign (but accepts + and ignores it).
lvresize accepts +|- for a relative change.
lvextend accepts + for a relative change.
lvreduce accepts - for a relative change.
Like opt and val arrays in previous commit, combine duplicate
arrays for lv types and props in command.c and lvmcmdline.c.
Also move the command_names array to be defined in command.c
so it's consistent with the others.
command.c and lvmcmdline.c each had a full array defining
all options and values. This duplication was not removed
when the command.c code was merged into the run time.
Part of the UNIT description was still living in the
--size description. Move it to the Size[UNIT] description
since it is used by other options, not just --size.
In lvcreate/lvconvert, --poolmetdatasize can only be an
absolute value, but in lvresize/lvextend, --poolmetadatasize
can be given a + relative value.
The val types only currently support relative values that
go in both directions +|-. Further work is needed to add
val types that can be relative in only one direction, and
switching various option values to one those depending on
the command name. Then poolmetdatasize will not appear
with a +|- option in lvcreate/lvconvert, and will
appear with only the + option in lvresize/lvextend.
Clean up and correct the details around --extents and --size.
lvcreate/lvresize/lvreduce/lvextend all now display the
extents option in usages.
The Size and Number value variables for --size and --extents
are now displayed without the [+|-] prefix for lvcreate.
A special case is needed to display
--extents for lvcreate since the cmd defs
treat --extents as an automatic alternative
to --size (to avoid duplicating every cmd def).
When a cmd def includes multiple sets of options (OO_FOO),
allow multiple OO_FOO sets to contain the same option and
avoid repeating it in the cmd def.
There was confusion in the code about whether or not the
--size option accepted a sign. Make it consistent and clear
that it does.
This exposes a new problem in that an option can only
accept one value type, e.g. --size can only accept a
signed number, it cannot accept a positive or negative
number for some commands and reject negative numbers for
others.
In practice, lvcreate accepts only positive --size
values and lvresize accepts positive or negative --size
values. There is currently no way to encode this
difference. Until that is fixed, the man page output
is hacked to avoid printing the [+|-] prefix for sizes
in lvcreate.
Settings specified in other command line args take precedence over
profiles and --config, which takes precedence over settings in actual
config files.
Since commit 1e2420bca8 ('commands: new
method for defining commands') commands like this:
lvchange --config 'global/test=1' -ay vg
have been printing the 'TEST MODE' message, but nevertheless making
real changes.
Add/remove the SECONDARY_SYNTAX flag to cmd defs.
cmd defs with this flag will be listed under the
ADVANCED USAGE man page section, so that the main
USAGE section contains the most common commands
without distraction.
- When multiple cmd defs do the same thing, one variant
can be displayed in the first list.
- Very advanced, unusual or uncommon commands should be
in the second list.
- Combine the equivalent lvconvert --type raid defs.
(Two cmd defs must be different without relying
on LV type, which are not known at the time the
cmd def is matched.)
- Remove unused optional options from lvconvert --stripes,
and lvconvert --stripesize.
- Use Number for --stripes_long val type.
- Combine the cmd def for raid reshape cleanup into the
existing start_poll cmd def (they were duplicate defs).
Calls into the raid code from a poll opertion will be
added.
The options list was sorted as:
- options with both long and short forms, alphabetically
- options with only long form, alphabetically
This was done only for the visual effect. Change to
sort alphabetically by long opt, without regard to
short forms.
Fixes commit 286d39ee3c, which was correct except
for a reversed strstr. Now uses strchr, and modifies
a copy of the name so the original argv is preserved.

- make alloc_lv_segment() aware of both reshape_len and data_copies
- adjust all alloc_lv_segment() callers to the new API
- add functions to retrieve the current data offset (needed for
out-of-place reshaping space allocation) and the devices count
from the kernel
- make libdm deptree code aware of reshape_len

like a shortcut than an actual variable.
The MD kernel raid1 personality does no use any writemostly leg as the primary.
In case a previous linear LV holding data gets upconverted to
raid1 it becomes the primary leg of the new raid1 LV and a full
resynchronization is started to update the new legs.
No writemostly and/or writebehind setting may be allowed during
this initial, full synchronization period of this new raid1 LV
(using the lvchange(8) command), because that would change the
primary (i.e the previous linear LV) thus causing data loss.
lvchange has a bug not preventing this scenario.
Fix rejects setting writemostly and/or writebehind on resychronizing raid1 LVs.
Once we have status in the lvm2 metadata about the linear -> raid upconversion,
we may relax this constraint for other types of resynchronization
(e.g. for user requested "lvchange --resync ").
New lvchange-raid1-writemostly.sh test is added to the test suite.

We use --foo Number[k|Units] to indicate that
the default units of the number is k, but other
units listed below are also accepted.
Capitalize and underline Units so it is consistent
with other variables, and reference it at the end.
Technically, the k should be bold, but this
tends to make the text visually hard to read
because of the excessive highlights scattered
everywhere. So it's left normal text for now
(it's unlikely to confuse anyone.)
Print ... after a repeatable option in the OPTIONS section.
An alternative would be to just mention in the text description
that the option is repeatable.
There are two kinds of common options:
1. options common to all variants of a given command name
2. options common to all lvm commands
Previously, both kinds of common options were listed together
under "Common options". Now the first are printed under
"Common options for command" (when needed), and the second
are printed under "Common options for lvm" (always).
Remove the "usage notes" which should just
live in the man pages.
When there are 3 or more variants of a command,
print all the options produces a lot of output,
so require --longhelp to print all the options
in these cases.
The --type option has previously been accepted for
lvresize/lvextend. Using it did not affect the operation
of the command. The value was simply verified as matching
the current seg type of the LV.
Commit f45b689406 caused regression
of lvresize -m and --type parameter
After fix this sequence may work when we also fix syntax description:
lvcreate -l1 -m1 -n lv1 vg
lvextend --type mirror -m1 -l+1 vg/lv1
For this syntax:
lvconvert --thinpool LV1 --poolmetadata LV2
lvconvert --cachepool LV1 --poolmetadata LV2
Restore the metadata swapping behavior in addition to
the pool creation behavior. When LV1 is already a pool,
the metadata LV will be swapped with LV2.
When LV1 is not a pool, it will be converted to a
pool using the specified LV for metadata.
This syntax is no longer advertised because of the
ambiguous behavior. The primary syntaxes for pool
creation and metadata swapping will be the advertised
methods.
As we now user binary search - it's nondeterministict
which of the same 'args' will be give - so duplicates
need 'extra' care.
So provide same hack for output for --uuidstr_ARG as
for input.
Solves 'pvscan -u'.
Since there is a lot of options and lot of searches,
use binary search to keep strcmp at minimum.
The interesting part is - alphabetically sorted array contains
duplicates and some of them are not the 'right anwer', so
after we find matching string but not matching long_ARG,
we may need to check if the surrouding strings are the right matching
one.
The single loops is used also for strictly define --foo_long
(i.e. --stripes) and just differs at final part.
TODO1: replace strstr call with some flag (just like short_opt).
TODO2: drop '--' from being stored and tests by strcmp.
When parsing command defs, track and report all
errors that are found. Add an error return case
from define_commands so the standard error exit
path is used.
When using liblvm2cmd, a process can do multiple
init/exit calls, i.e.
lvm2_init(); lvm2_run(); lvm2_exit();
lvm2_init(); lvm2_run(); lvm2_exit();
...
define_commands() needs to set up the global commands[]
definitions only the first time.
The old ad hoc arg parsing when combining a split snapshot
allowed the first lv to have a vgname, but not the second.
Since lvconvert now uses the standard arg parsing in
process_each_lv(), the old one-off behavior requires a
work around.
This reverts commit 717363bb94.
These alternate forms for swapping metadata cannot be
distinguished from the command for creating a pool.
If we were to add these alternate forms for swapping
metadata, we would need to overload the pool creation
command defs, making those definitions ambiguous.
