API for seg reporting is breaking internal lvm coding - it cannot
use vgmem mem pool for allocation of reported value.
So use separate pool instead of 'vgmem' for non vg related allocations
Add consts for many function params - but still many other are left
for now as non-const - needs deeper level of change even on libdm side.
An 'lvconvert --repair $RAID_LV" to replace a failed leg of a multi-segment
RAID10/4/5/6 logical volume can lead to allocation of (parts of) the replacement
image component pair on the physical volume of another image component
(e.g. image 0 allocated on the same PV as image 1 silently impeding resilience).
Patch fixes this severe resilince issue by prohibiting allocation on PVs
already holding other legs of the RAID set. It allows to allocate free space
on any operational PV already holding parts of the image component pair.
Normally, if there are partitions defined on top of device-mapper
device, there should be a device-mapper device created for each
partiton on top of the old one and once the underlying DM device
is used by another devices (partition mappings in this case),
it can't be used as a PV anymore.
However, sometimes, it may happen the partition mappings are
missing - either the partitioning tool is not creating them if
it does not contain full support for device-mapper devices or
the mappings were removed.
Better safe than sorry - check for partition header on DM devs
and filter them out as unsuitable for PVs in case the check is
positive. Whatever the user is doing, let's do our best to prevent
unwanted corruption (...by running pvcreate on top of such device
that would corrupt the partition header).
Better than previous patch which changed log_warn to log_error -
we can have multiple MDAs and if one of them fails to be written,
we can still continue with other MDAs if we're in a mode where
we can handle missing PVs - so keep the log_warn for single
failed MDA write as it was before.
However, add log_error with "Failed to write VG <vg_name>." in
case we're not handling missing PVs or no MDA was written at all
during VG write process. This also prevents an internal error in
which the vg_write fails and we're not issuing any other log_error
in vg_write caller or above, so we end up with:
"Internal error: Failed command did not use log_error".
At first, all snapshot-origins where marked as unusable unconditionally
here, but we can't cut off whole snapshot-origin use in a stack just
because of this possible mirror state. This whole "device_is_usable"
check was even incorrectly part of persistent filter before commit
a843d0d97c66aae1872c05b0f6cf4bda176aae2 (where filter cleanup was
done).
The persistent filter is used only if obtain_device_list_from_udev=0,
which means that the former check for snapshot-origin here had not even
been hit with default configuration for a few years before commit
a843d0d97c66aae1872c05b0f6cf4bda176aae2 (the check for snapshot-origin and
skipping of this LV was introduced with commit a71d6051ed
back in 2010).
The obtain_device_list_from_udev=1 (and hence not using persistent
filter and hence not hitting this check for snapshot-origins and skipping) has been
in action since commit edcda01a1e (that is 2011).
So for 3 years this condition was not even checked with default configuration,
making it superfluous.
This all changed in 2014 with commit 8a843d0d97
where "filter-usable" is introduced and since then all snapshot-origins
have been marked as unusable more often than before and making snapshot-origins
practically unusable in a stack.
This patch removes this incorrect check from commit a71d6051ed
which caused snapshot-origins to be unusable more often recently.
If we want to fix this eventually in a correct way, we need to look
down the stack and if snapshot-origin is hit and there's a blocked
mirror underneath, only then mark the device as unusable. But mirrors
in stack are not supported anymore so it's questionable whether it's
worth spending more time on this at all...
$ lvcreate -l1 -m1 --type mirror vg

When mirror has missing PVs and there are mirror images on those missing
PVs, we delete the images and during this delete operation, we also
reactivate the LV. But if we're trying to reactivate the LV in cluster
which is not active and at the same time cmirrord is not running (which
is OK since we may have created the mirror LV as inactive), we end up
with:
"Error locking on node <node_name>: Shared cluster mirrors are not available."
That is because we're trying to activate the mirror LV without cmirrord.
However, there's no need to do this reactivation if the mirror LV (and
hence it's sub LVs) were not activated before.
This issue caused failure in mirror-vgreduce-removemissing.sh test
recently with this sequence (excerpt from the test script):
prepare_lvs_
lvcreate -an -Zn -l2 --type mirror -m1 --nosync -n $lv1 $vg "$dev1" $dev2" "$dev3":$BLOCKS
mimages_are_on_ $lv1 "$dev1" "$dev2"
mirrorlog_is_on_ $lv1 "$dev3"
aux disable_dev "$dev2"
vgreduce --removemissing --force $vg
The important thing about that test is that we're not running cmirrord,
we're activating the mirror with "-an" so it's inactive and then
vgreduce --removemissing tries to reactivate the mirror images
as part of the _delete_lv function call inside and since cmirrord
is not running, we end up with the "Shared cluster mirrors are not
available." error.
When creating cluster mirrors while they're not supposed to be activated
immediately after creation, we don't need to check for cmirrord availability.
We can just create these mirrors and let the check to be done on activation
later on. This is addendum for commit cba6186325.
When creating/activating clustered mirrors, we should have cmirrord
available and running. If it's not, we ended up with rather cryptic
errors like:
$ lvcreate -l1 -m1 --type mirror vg
Error locking on node 1: device-mapper: reload ioctl on failed: Invalid argument
Failed to activate new LV.
$ vgchange -ay vg
Error locking on node node 1: device-mapper: reload ioctl on failed: Invalid argument
This patch adds check for cmirror availability and it errors out
properly, also giving a more precise error messge so users are able
to identify the source of the problem easily:
$ lvcreate -l1 -m1 --type mirror vg
Shared cluster mirrors are not available.
$ vgchange -ay vg
Error locking on node 1: Shared cluster mirrors are not available.
Exclusively activated cluster mirror LVs are OK even without cmirrord:
$ vgchange -aey vg
1 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg" now active
Since GET_FIELD_RESERVED_VALUE always returns a pointer, don't reference
it with "&" when used - we already have that pointer value (this is an
addendum to recent commit 028ff30947).
Only GET_TYPE_RESERVED_VALUE needs to be referenced with "&" as it
returns directly the value of that type.
We have to use empty list, not NULL if we want to denote that the list
has no items. Otherwise, the code further can segfault as it expects
there's always a sane value (= some list), including empty list,
but never NULL.
Use helper macros to handle reserved values and also define "undefined"
reserved value as:
FIELD_RESERVED_VALUE(cache_policy, cache_policy_undef, "", "", "undefined")
Which means:
- print "" if the cache_policy value is undefined (the first name for this reserved value is "")
- recognize "undefined" reserved name as synonym to ""
(so statements like "lvs -S cache_policy=undefined" are still recognized)
Avoid making a copy of the keyword which is already registered in
values.h for "unmanaged" (vg_mda_copies field) and "auto" reserved
value (lv_read_ahead field). Also use helper macros to handle these
reserved - this is the correct approach - just do not copy the same
thing again and do not mix it! The GET_FIELD_RESERVED_VALUE and
GET_FIRST_RESERVED_NAME macros guarantees this - use it!
In addition to that, rename reserved values:
vg_mda_copies --> vg_mda_copies_unmanaged
lv_read_ahead --> lv_read_ahead_auto
So the field reserved values follows this scheme:
"<field_name>_<reserved_value_name>".
The same applies for type reserved values with this scheme:
"<report type name in lowercase>_<reserved_value_name>"
Add a comment about this scheme for others to follow as well
when adding new fields and their reserved values. This makes
it a bit easier to read the code then.
RESERVED(id) --> GET_TYPE_RESERVED_VALUE(id)
FIRST_NAME(id) --> GET_FIRST_RESERVED_NAME(id)
Also add GET_FIELD_RESERVED_VALUE(id) macro to get per-field reserved value.
This makes it much more readable and hopefully it'll make it
easier to use these helper macros when adding new reporting
fields with reserved values if needed.
The cache policy name taken as LV segment property must be duped
for report as the VG/LV/seg structure is destroyed after processing,
reporting happens later:

When we split leg from raid - we take a proper new lock for a new LV.
However for now activation checks only 'existince' of device UUID,
but it's not validating device has a proper name.
As a quick fix call suspend()/resume() to rename after split mirror.
Just call return 0 directly on error path, without using
"goto" - the code is short, no need to use it this way
(the dead code appeared as part of further changes in this
function).
When chunk size needs to be estimated, the code missed to round
to proper 64kb boundaries (or power of 2 for older thin pool driver).
So for some data and metadata size (i.e. 10GB and 4MB) it resulted
in incorrect chunk size (not being a multiple of 64KB)
Fix it by adding proper rounding and also use 1 routine for 2 places
where the same calculation is made.
Fix also incorrect printed warning that has used 'ffs()'
(which returns first 'least significant' bit in word)
and it was not really giving any useful size info and replace it
with properly estimated chunk size.
Fix regression introduced with a2c1024f6a
_setup_task(mknodes ? name : NULL...
has been replaced with:
_setup_task(type != MKNODES ? name : NULL....
Use '=='
Use log_warn when we are effectively not creating an error -
we 'allowed' inconsistent read for a reason - so it's just warning
level we process inconsistent VG - it's upto caller later to decide
error level of command return value and in case of error it needs
to use log_error then.
Failed recovery provides different (NULL) VG then FAILED_INCONSISTENT.
Mark it with different failure bit - since FAILED_INCONSISTENT is
supposed to contain something 'usable' (thought inconsistent).
- Add separate lv_status fn (if we're interested only in seg status,
but not lv info at the same time as it is with existing
lv_info_with_seg_status fn). So we 3 fns:
- lv_info (existing one, runs only info ioctl, fills in struct lvinfo only)
- lv_status (new one, runs status ioctl, fills in struct lv_seg_status only)
- lv_info_with_seg_status (existing one, runs status ioctl, fills
in struct lvinfo as well as lv_seg_status)
- Add more comments in the code explaining the difference between lv_info,
lv_status and lv_info_with_seg_status and their return values.
- Move decision whether lv_info_with_seg_status needs to call only
status ioctl (in case the segment for which we require status is from
the LV for which we require info) or separate status and info ioctl
(in case the segment for which we require status is from different
LV that the one for which we require info) into
lv_info_with_seg_status fn so caller doesn't need to bother about
this at all.
- Cleanup internal interface for this seg status so it's more readable.
Since we support device stack of pools over pool
(thin-pool with cache data volume) the existing code
is no longer able to detect orphan _pmspare.
So instead do a _pmspare check after volume removal,
and remove spare afterwards.
We need to stop guessing deleted names - so rather collect
deleted UUID into a string list - and then remove them properly
in _clean_tree. Restore origin _clean_tree behaviour them for
currently unconverted removal of snapshots.
Pending delete feature now properly tracks whole subtree of cache
(so i.e. data or metadata as raid volumes).
It properly replaces all related volumes with 'errors' in suspend
preload, then resume them as error and remove collected UUIDs
from root - since they are not longer part of any volume deps.
This would be in case the pool segment was not found.

}
The "type" is enum and currently only those three types are supported,
but if we added a new type in the future, this would end up with a bug
(if we forgot to add the new "case" in that "switch"). So let's make
sure proper internal error is printed:
default:
log_error(INTERNAL_ERROR "_info_run: unhandled info type");
return 0;

When getting status for LV segment types, we need to be sure
that proper segment is selected for the status ioctl.
When reporting fields that require status ioctl,
the "_choose_lv_segment_for_status_report" fn in tools/reporter.c
must be completed properly to choose the proper segment for all
the LV types (at the moment, it just takes the first LV segment
by default).
This works fine with cache LVs surely. The other segment types
need more auditing. We use this status ioctl only for cache status
fields at the moment only, so restrict it to the cache only.
Once the _choose_lv_segment_for_status_report is completed
properly, release the restriction in _get_segment_status_from_target_params.
Similar to LVSINFO type which gathers LV + its DM_DEVICE_INFO, the
new LVSSTATUS/SEGSSTATUS report type will gather LV/segment + its
DM_DEVICE_STATUS.
Since we can report status only for certain segment, in case
of LVSSTATUS we need to choose which segment related to the LV
should be processed that represents the "LV status". In case of
SEGSSTATUS type it's clear - the status is reported for the
segment just processed.
The former struct lv_with_info is renamed to lv_with_info_and_seg_status as it can
hold more than just "info", there's lv's segment status now in addition:
struct lv_with_info_and_seg_status {
struct logical_volume *lv;
struct lvinfo *info;
struct lv_seg_status *seg_status;
}
Where struct lv_seg_status is:
struct lv_seg_status {
struct dm_pool *mem;
struct lv_segment lv_seg;
lv_seg_status_type_t type;
void *status; /* struct dm_status_* */
}
Where lv_seg points to lv's segment that is being reported or
processed in general.
New struct lv_seg_status keeps the information about segment status -
the status retrieved via DM_DEVICE_STATUS ioctl. This information will
be used for reporting dm device target status for the LV segment
specified.
So this patch introduces third level of LV information that is
kept for reuse while reporting fields within one reporting line,
causing only one DM_DEVICE_STATUS ioctl call per LV segment line
reported (otherwise we'd need to call the DM_DEVICE_STATUS for each
segment status field in one LV segment/reporting line which is not
efficient).
This is following exactly the same principle as already introduced
by commit ecb2be5d16.
So currently we have three levels of information that can be used
to report an LV/LV segment:
- LV metadata itself (struct logical_volume *lv)
- LV's DM_DEVICE_INFO ioctl result (struct lvinfo *info)
- LV's segment DM_DEVICE_STATUS ioctl result (this status must be
bound to a segment, not the whole LV as the whole LV may be
composed of several segments of course)
(this is the new struct lv_seg_status *seg_status)
Do not use 'any' policy name as a value in config tree - so we stick
with 'policy_settings' and extra 'policy_name' for libdm params.
Update lvm2 API as well.
Example of supported metadata:
policy = "mq"
policy_settings {
migration_threshold = 2048
sequential_threshold = 512
random_threshold = 4
read_promote_adjustment = 10
}
Support new PASSTHROUGH 'feature' flag.
Add dm_config_node to pass in policy args.
Really use origin_uuid instead of using extra call
to pass seg_areas.
Switch to 64bit feature flag bit set so there is
enough space in future for new bits...
More efficient spare volume creation. Save 1 extra commit
and properly activate this volume according to our cluster
activation rules (using lv_active_change() for this).
Since we 'layer' for cache origin which and we support dropping
cache layer - we need to restore origin name in case
the origin LV is more complex target - i.e. raid.
Drop _corig from name
Cleanup and rename parent -> parent_lv.
Revert part of commit 51a29e6056,
it's probably bad idea to continue with any recovery, when
vg_write() or vg_commit() fail - so it's better to leave it as it is.
When deactivating origin, we may have possibly left table in broken state,
where origin is not active, but snapshot volume is still present.
Let's ensure deactivation of origin detects also all associated
snapshots are inactive - otherwise do not skip deactivation.
(so i.e. 'vgchange -an' would detect errors)
Let's use this function for more activations in the code.
'needs_exlusive' will enforce exlusive type for any given LV.
We may want to activate LV in exlusive mode, even when we know
the LV (as is) supports non-exlusive activation as well.
lvcreate -ay -> exclusive & local
lvcreate -aay -> exclusive & local
lvcreate -aly -> exclusive & local
lvcreate -aey -> exclusive (might be on any node).
Activate of new/unused/empty thin pool volume skips
the 'overlay' part and directly provides 'visible' thin-pool LV to the user.
Such thin pool still gets 'private' -tpool UUID suffix for easier
udev detection of protected lvm2 devices, and also gets udev flags to
avoid any scan.
Such pool device is 'public' LV with regular /dev/vgname/poolname link,
but it's still 'udev' hidden device for any other use.
To display proper active state we need to do few explicit tests
for this condition.
Before it's used for any lvm2 thin volume, deactivation is
now needed to avoid any 'race' with external usage.
Call check_new_thin_pool() to detect in-use thin-pool.
Save extra reactivation of thin-pool when thin pool is not active.
(it's now a bit more expensive to invoke thin_check for new pools.)
For new pools:
We now active locally exclusively thin-pool as 'public' LV.
Validate transaction_id is till 0.
Deactive.
Prepare create message for thin-pool and exclusively active pool.
Active new thin LV.
And deactivate thin pool if it used to be inactive.
Allowing 'external' use of thin-pools requires to validate even
so far 'unused' new thin pools.
Later we may have 'smarter' way to resolve which thin-pools are
owned by lvm2 and which are external.
Show some stats with 'lvs'
Display same info for active cache volume and cache-pool.
data% - #used cache blocks/#total cache blocks
meta% - #used metadata blocks/#total metadata blocks
copy% - #dirty/#used cache blocks
TODO: maybe there is a better mapping
- should be seen as first-try-and-see.
When the cache pool is unused, lvm2 code will internally
allow to activate such cache-pool.
Cache-pool is activate as metadata LV, so lvm2 could easily
wipe such volume before cache-pool is reused.
Replace lv_cache_block_info() and lv_cache_policy_info()
with lv_cache_status() which directly returns
dm_status_cache structure together with some calculated
values.
After use mem pool stored inside lv_status_cache structure
needs to be destroyed.
Add init of no_open_count into _setup_task().
Report problem as warning (cannot happen anyway).
Also drop some duplicated debug messages - we have already
printed the info about operation so make log a bit shorter.
Add API call to calculate extents from percentage value.
Size is based in DM_PERCENT_1 units.
(Supporting decimal point number).
This commit is preparing functionality for more global
usage of % with i.e. --size option.
Support compile type configurable defaults for creation
of sparse volumes.
By default now create 'thin-pools' for sparse volumes.
Use the global/sparse_segtype_default to switch back to old
snapshots if needed.
Apply the same compile logic for newly introduces mirror/raid1 options.
Unlike with thin-pool - with cache we support all args also
directly when create cache volume.
So the result of 'separate' cache-pool creation and setting its
options should give same result as specifying those args
during cache creation.
Cache-pool values are used as defaults if the params are
not specified with cache creation.
Move code for creation of thin volume into a single place
out of lv_extend(). This allows to drop extra pool arg
for alloc_lv_segment() && lv_extend() and makes code
more easier to read and follow.
When we create volumes with chunk size bigger then extent size
we try to round up to some nearest chunk boundary.
Until now we did this for thins - use same logic for
cache volumes.
Use segment flags to avoid zeroing of cache, cache pool
snapshot and thin pool segments.
We never want to zero these segment types.
Note:
Snapshot COW and Cache origin are created as stripes
thus are then properly zeroed.
Refactor lvcreate code.
Prefer to use arg_outside_list_is_set() so we get automatic 'white-list'
validation of supported options with different segment types.
Drop used lp->cache, lp->cache and use seg_is_cache(), seg_is_thin()
Draw clear border where is the last moment we could change create
segment type.
When segment type is given with --type - do not allow it to be changed
later.
Put together tests related to individual segment types.
Finish cache conversion at proper part of lv_manip code after
the vg_metadata are written - so we could correcly clean-up created
stripe LV for cache volume.
Move test for size of new LV names in front before
any creation of LV.
Properly check striped segtype kernel presence,
since passed 'segtype' is already tested.
Keep deactivation error path local to wiping part of the function.
Create metadata with temporary flag (it's activated, zeroed
and deactivated).
Introduce new option to specify pool data size.
This will be user to create i.e. cache & cachepool at once.
And possible for thin external origin snapshot.
This is only very basic patch to enable options, the
real working code will come later.
We want to print smarter warning message only when
the zeroing was not provided on the first zeroable segment
of newly created LV.
Put warning within _should_wipe_lv function to avoid reevaluation
of same conditions twice.
Hide creation of temporary LVs and print them only in verbose mode.
e.g. hides confusing message about creation of _pmspare
device during creation of pool.
Use new libdm macro DM_LIST_HEAD_INIT().
Embeded 'free' segment type (so it's not needed in the list)
Drop assignments of 0,NULL since they are defaults.
Ask for lock the proper LV.
Use the top-most LV to query for locally exclusive lock.
The rest of operations are then using 'lv_info()'
TODO:
Check all devices are reloaded from proper level.
In general any query on lv_is_active is supposed to be running
ona lv_lock_holder() volume.
Now we reference segment name via lvseg_name() and
we can drop default implementation and leave its
function pointer to be NULL.
Default give us 'return seg->segtype->name'.
Instead of segtype->ops->name() introduce lvseg_name().
This also allows us to leave name() function 'empty' for default
return of segtype->name.
TODO: add functions for rest of ops->
There was a bug in value and their synonym definition for these two fields
causing selections on these fields to not work correctly - nothing matched
against vg/lv_permissions fields even if selection criteria should have
matched.
Scenario:
$ lvs -o name,lv_permissions vg
LV LPerms
lvol0 read-only
lvol1 writeable
Before this patch:
$ lvs -o name,lv_permissions vg -S 'permissions=read-only'
(blank)
$ lvs -o name,lv_permissions vg -S 'permissions=writeable
(blank)
With this patch applied:
$ lvs -o name,lv_permissions vg -S 'permissions=read-only'
LV LPerms
lvol0 read-only
$ lvs -o name,lv_permissions vg -S 'permissions=writeable'
LV LPerms
lvol1 writeable
Also synonyms match correctly now:
$ lvs -o name,lv_permissions vg -S 'permissions=rw'
LV LPerms
lvol1 writeable
We can't hang on blocked or suspended devices when the scan is done
for lvmetad update - when the device gets unblocked or resumed, there's
always CHANGE event generated which will fire the udev rule to run
extra pvscan --cache for that device which makes sure that lvmetad
is up-to-date.
When we are given an existing LV name - it needs to be allowed
to pass in even restricted name as the LV could have existed
long before we introduced some new restriction on prefix/suffix.i
Fix the regression on name limits and drop restriction to be applied
on any existing LVs - only the new created LV names have to be
complient with current name restrictions.
FIXME: we are currently using restricted names incorrectly in few
other places - device_is_usable() skips restricted names,
and udev flags are also incorrectly set for restricted names
so these LVs are not getting links properly.
find_pv_in_vg fn iterates over the list of PVs covered by the VG and
each PV's pvl->pv->dev is compared with device acquired from device
cache. However, in case pvl->pv->dev is NULL as well as device cache
returns NULL (e.g. when device is filtered), we'll get incorrect match
and the code calling find_pv_in_vg uses incorrect PV (as it thinks
it's the exact PV with the pv_name). The INTERNAL_ERROR covers this
situation and errors out immediately.
The warnings arg was used to enable logging of warnings
when reading a PV. This arg is turned into a set of flags
with the WARN_PV_READ flag matching the existing behavior.
A new flag WARN_INCONSISTENT is added that will cause
vg_read_internal() to log the "VG is not consistent"
warning so the various callers do not need to log
this warning themselves.
A new vg_read flag READ_WARN_INCONSISTENT is used from
reporting to enable the WARN_INCONSISTENT flag in
vg_read_internal.
[Committed by agk with cosmetic changes and tweaks.]
Process PVs by iterating through VGs, then iterating through
devices if the command needs to process non-PV devices.
The process_single function can always use the VG and PV args.
[Committed by agk with cosmetic changes and tweaks.]
Introduce pool function for validation of chunk size.
It's good idea to be able to reject invalid chunk size
when entered on command line before we open VG.
Move code to better locations.
Improve test and remove invalid ones
(i.e. no reason to require cache size to be >= then origin).
Correctly comment where the code is doing actual conversion
of other existing volume - we do already a similar thing with
external origins.
Lots of new command line options and combinations is now supported.
Hopefully older syntax still works as well.
lvcreate --cache --cachepool vg/pool -l1
lvcreate --type cache --cachepool vg/pool -l1
lvcreate --type cache-pool vg/pool -l1
lvcreate --type cache-pool --name pool vg -l1
... and many many more ...
Since _pmspare is internal volume move it to
lv_remove_single - so it's automatically removed with
last remove thin-pool.
lv_remove_with_dependencies() is not always used for pool removal.
The cache mode of a new cache pool is always explicitly
included in the vg metadata. If a cache mode is not
specified on the command line, the cache mode is taken
from lvm.conf allocation/cache_pool_cachemode, which
defaults to "writethrough".
The cache mode can be displayed with lvs -o+cachemode.
filters/filter-usable.c:22: warning: "ucp.check_..." may be used uninitialized in this function
This can't actually be hit in real, but let's clean this up for the compiler
to be happy again.
There are actually three filter chains if lvmetad is used:
- cmd->lvmetad_filter used when when scanning devices for lvmetad
- cmd->filter used when processing lvmetad responses
- cmd->full_fiilter (which is just cmd->lvmetad_filter + cmd->filter chained together) used
for remaining situations
This patch adds the third one - "cmd->full_filter" - currently this is
used if device processing does not fall into any of the groups before,
for example, devices which does not have the PV label yet and we're just
creating a new one or we're processing the devices where the list of the
devices (PVs) is not returned by lvmetad initially.
Currently, the cmd->full_filter is used exactly in these functions:
- lvmcache_label_scan
- _pvcreate_check
- pvcreate_vol
- lvmdiskscan
- pvscan
- _process_each_label
If lvmetad is used, then simply cmd->full_filter == cmd->filter because
cmd->lvmetad_filter is NULL in this case.
We need to use proper filter chain when we disable lvmetad use
explicitly in the code by calling lvmetad_set_active(0) while
overriding existing configuration. We need to reinitialize filters
in this case so proper filter chain is used. The same applies
for the other way round - when we enable lvmetad use explicitly in
the code (though this is not yet used).
With this change, the filter chains used look like this now:
A) When *lvmetad is not used*:
- persistent filter -> regex filter -> sysfs filter ->
global regex filter -> type filter ->
usable device filter(FILTER_MODE_NO_LVMETAD) ->
mpath component filter -> partitioned filter ->
md component filter
B) When *lvmetad is used* (two separate filter chains):
- the lvmetad filter chain used when scanning devs for lvmetad update:
sysfs filter -> global regex filter -> type filter ->
usable device filter(FILTER_MODE_PRE_LVMETAD) ->
mpath component filter -> partitioned filter ->
md component filter
- the filter chain used for lvmetad responses:
persistent filter -> usable device filter(FILTER_MODE_POST_LVMETAD) ->
regex filter
Usable device filter is responsible for filtering out unusable DM devices.
The filter has 3 modes of operation:
- FILTER_MODE_NO_LVMETAD:
When this mode is used, we check DM device usability by looking:
- whether device is empty
- whether device is blocked
- whether device is suspended (only on devices/ignore_suspended_devices=1)
- whether device uses an error target
- whether device name/uuid is reserved
- FILTER_MODE_PRE_LVMETAD:
When this mode is used, we check DM device usability by looking:
- whether device is empty
- whether device is suspended (only on devices/ignore_suspended_devices=1)
- whether device uses an error target
- whether device name/uuid is reserved
- FILTER_MODE_POST_LVMETAD:
When this mode is used, we check DM device usability by looking:
- whether device is blocked
- whether device is suspended (only on devices/ignore_suspended_devices=1)
These modes will be used by subsequent patch to create different
instances of this filter, depending on lvmetad use.
Currently, there are 5 things that device_is_usable function checks
(for DM devices only, of course):
- is device empty?
- is device blocked? (mirror)
- is device suspended?
- is device composed of an error target?
- is device name/uuid reserved?
If answer to any of these questions is "yes", then the device is not usable.
This patch just adds possibility to choose what to check for exactly - the
device_is_usable function now accepts struct dev_usable_check_params make
this selection possible. This is going to be used by subsequent patches.
When compiled with valgrind pool support - don't waste time
with preallocation of memory - it just waste of CPU cycles to
trace access to this memory.
We also may get slightly better estimation about real memory usage
during command processing.
We are not using already defined segement type names where we could.
There is a lot of other places in device-mapper and LVM2 we have those
hardcoded so we should better finally have a common interface in
libdevmapper to avoid this.
Use of lv_info() internally in lv_check_not_in_use(),
so it always could use with_open_count properly.
Skip sysfs() testing in open_count == 0 case.
Accept just 'lv' pointer like other functions.
The function has 'built-in' lv_is_active_locally check,
which however is not what we need to check in many place.
For now at least remotely active snapshot merge is
detected and for this case merge on next activation is scheduled.
We use adjusted_mirror_region_size() in two different contexts.
Either on command line -
here we do want to inform user about reduction of size.
Or in pvmove activation context -
here we should only use 'verbose' info.
When requesting to reload an LV imrove this API to
automatically reload its lock holding LV as in cluster
only top-level LVs are addressable with lock.
When vg_ondisk is NULL we do not need to search
through the whole VG to find out the same LV.
NOTE: as of now - VG locking is not enabled as some code parts
are breaking memory locking rules (lvm2app).
Once we enforce VG locking for read-only commands the effect
will be much better for larger VGs.
Do not let fly metadata with just 'minor' set
(since they would not be readable on older version)
Be permissive with invalid major/minor number and
just report them as problem, but allow to use
such metadata with default major:minor.
Use nice instruction_HLT macro
Use log_debug_mem()
Don't actually log things after we prohibit 'mmap'.
Move initialization of strerror & udev before blocking mmap.
Add code to trap both mmap implementation on 32bit arch.
Use dlsym()
Use hlt instraction instead of int3 - generates usable stack trace
when problem is catched.
If we want to support conversion of VG to clustered type,
we currently need to relock active LV to get proper DLM lock.
So add extra loop after change of VG clustered attribute
to exlusively activate all active top level LVs.
When doing change -cy -> -cn we should validate LVs are not
active on other cluster nodes - we could be sure about this only
when with local exclusive activation - for other types
we require user to deactivate volumes first.
As a workaround for this limitation there is always
locking_type = 0 which amongs other skip the detection
of active LVs.
FIXME:
clvmd should handle looks for cluster locking type all the time.
While we could probably reacquire some type of lock when
going from non-clustered to clustered vg, we don't have any
single road back to drop the lock and keep LV active.
For now keep it safe and prohibit conversion when LV
is active in the VG.
Try to enforce consistent macro usage along these lines:
lv_is_mirror - mirror that uses the original dm-raid1 implementation
(segment type "mirror")
lv_is_mirror_type - also includes internal mirror image and log LVs
lv_is_raid - raid volume that uses the new dm-raid implementation
(segment type "raid")
lv_is_raid_type - also includes internal raid image / log / metadata LVs
lv_is_mirrored - LV is mirrored using either kernel implementation
(excludes non-mirror modes like raid5 etc.)
lv_is_pvmove - internal pvmove volume
Use lv_is_* macros throughout the code base, introducing
lv_is_pvmove, lv_is_locked, lv_is_converting and lv_is_merging.
lv_is_mirror_type no longer includes pvmove.
Caused by recent changes - a7be3b12df.
If global filter was not defined, then part of the code
creating composite filter (the cmd->lvmetad_filter) incorrectly
increased index value even if this global filter was not created
as part of the composite filter. This caused a gap with "NULL"
value in the composite filter array which ended up with the rest
of the filters after the gap to be ignored and also it caused a mem
leak when destroying the composite filter.
We used to print an error message whenever we tried to deal with devices that
lvmetad knew about but were rejected by a client-side filter. Instead, we now
check whether the device is actually absent or only filtered out and only print
a warning in the latter case.
If a PV label is exposed both through a composite device (MD for example) and
through its component devices, we always want the PV that lvmetad sees to be the
composite, since this is what all LVM commands (including activation) will then
use. If pvscan --cache is triggered for multiple clones of the same PV, the last
to finish wins. This patch basically re-arranges the filters so that
component-device filters are part of the global_filter chain, not of the
client-side filter chain. This has a subtle effect on filter evaluation order,
but should not alter visible semantics in the non-lvmetad case.
The code in dev_iter_create assumes that if a filter can be wiped, doing so will
always trigger a call to _full_scan. This is not true for composite filters
though, since they can always be wiped in principle, but there is no way to know
that a component filter inside will exist that actually triggers the scan.
Use lv_update_and_reload() and lv_update_and_reload_origin()
to handle write/suspend/commit/resume sequence.
In few places this properly handle vg_revert() after suspend failure,
and also ensures there is metadata backup after successful vg_commit().
Fix rename operation for snapshot (cow) LV.
Only the snapshot's origin has the lock and by mistake suspend
and resume has been called for the snapshot LV.
This further made volumes unusable in cluster.
So instead of suspend and resuming list of LVs,
we need to just suspend and resume origin.
As the sequence write/suspend/commit/resume
is widely used in lvm2 code base - move it to
new lv_update_and_reload function.
Coverity noticed this function may return untouched buffer,
however in this state can't really happen, but anyway
ensure on error path the buffer will have zero lenght string.
Fixing problem, when user sets volume_list and excludes thin pools
from activation. In this case pool return 'success' for skipped activation.
We need to really check the volume it is actually active to properly
to remove queued pool messages. Otherwise the lvm2 and kernel
metadata started to go async since lvm2 believed, messages were submitted.
Add also better check for threshold when create a new thin volume.
In this case we require local activation of thin pool so we are able
to check pool fullness.
This patch makes the keyword combinations found in "lv_layout" and
"lv_role" much more understandable - there were some ambiguities
for some of the combinations which lead to confusion before.
Now, the scheme used is:
LAYOUTS ("how the LV is laid out"):
===================================
[linear] (all segments have number of stripes = 1)
[striped] (all segments have number of stripes > 1)
[linear,striped] (mixed linear and striped)
raid (raid layout always reported together with raid level, raid layout == image + metadata LVs underneath that make up raid LV)
[raid,raid1]
[raid,raid10]
[raid,raid4]
[raid,raid5] (exact sublayout not specified during creation - default one used - raid5_ls)
[raid,raid5,raid5_ls]
[raid,raid5,raid6_rs]
[raid,raid5,raid5_la]
[raid,raid5,raid5_ra]
[raid6,raid] (exact sublayout not specified during creation - default one used - raid6_zr)
[raid,raid6,raid6_zr]
[raid,raid6,raid6_nc]
[raid,raid6,raid6_ns]
[mirror] (mirror layout == log + image LVs underneath that make up mirror LV)
thin (thin layout always reported together with sublayout)
[thin,sparse] (thin layout == allocated out of thin pool)
[thin,pool] (thin pool layout == data + metadata volumes underneath that make up thin pool LV, not supposed to be used for direct use!!!)
[cache] (cache layout == allocated out of cache pool in conjunction with cache origin)
[cache,pool] (cache pool layout == data + metadata volumes underneath that make up cache pool LV, not supposed to be used for direct use!!!)
[virtual] (virtual layout == not hitting disk underneath, currently this layout denotes only 'zero' device used for origin,thickorigin role)
[unknown] (either error state or missing recognition for such layout)
ROLES ("what's the purpose or use of the LV - what is its role"):
=================================================================
- each LV has either of these two roles at least: [public] (public LV that users may use freely to write their data to)
[public] (public LV that users may use freely to write their data to)
[private] (private LV that LVM maintains; not supposed to be directly used by user to write his data to)
- and then some special-purpose roles in addition to that:
[origin,thickorigin] (origin for thick-style snapshot; "thick" as opposed to "thin")
[origin,multithickorigin] (there are more than 2 thick-style snapshots for this origin)
[origin,thinorigin] (origin for thin snapshot)
[origin,multithinorigin] (there are more than 2 thin snapshots for this origin)
[origin,extorigin] (external origin for thin snapshot)
[origin,multiextoriginl (there are more than 2 thin snapshots using this external origin)
[origin,cacheorigin] (cache origin)
[snapshot,thicksnapshot] (thick-style snapshot; "thick" as opposed to "thin")
[snapshot,thinsnapshot] (thin-style snapshot)
[raid,metadata] (raid metadata LV)
[raid,image] (raid image LV)
[mirror,image] (mirror image LV)
[mirror,log] (mirror log LV)
[pvmove] (pvmove LV)
[thin,pool,data] (thin pool data LV)
[thin,pool,metadata] (thin pool metadata LV)
[cache,pool,data] (cache pool data LV)
[cache,pool,metadata] (cache pool metadata LV)
[pool,spare] (pool spare LV - common role of LV that makes it used for both thin and cache repairs)
This makes it a bit more readable since we can report more general
layouts/roles first and keywords describing the LV more precisely
afterwards in the list.
The 'lv_type' field name was a bit misleading. Better one is 'lv_role'
since this fields describes what's the actual use of the LV currently -
its 'role'.
Sort out the lvresize calculation code to handle size changes
specified as physical extents as well as logical extents
and to process mirror resizing and raid extensions correctly.
The 'approx alloc' option was masking the underlying problem.
Avoid playing with +1.
PATH_MAX code needs probably more thinking anyway, since
there is no MAX path in Linux - user may easily create path
with 64kB chars - so 4kB buffer is surelly not enough for
such dirs.
Note:
http://insanecoding.blogspot.cz/2007/11/pathmax-simply-isnt.html
The lv_type_name function is remnant from old code that reported
only single string for the LV type. LV types are now reported
in a more extended way as keyword list that describe the type
precisely (using lv_layout_and_type fn).
The lv_type_name was used in some error messages to display the
type of the LV so just reinstate the old messages back referencing
the type directly with a string - this is enough for error messages.
They don't need to display the LV type as precisely as it's used
on lvs output (which is optimized for selection anyway).
$ lvs -a -o name,vg_name,attr,layout,type
LV VG Attr Layout Type
lvol0 vg -wI-a----- linear linear
[pvmove0] vg p-C-aom--- mirror mirror,pvmove
(added "mirror" for pvmove LV)
$ lvs -a -o name,vg_name,attr,layout,type
LV VG Attr Layout Type
lvol0 vg ori------- linear external,multiple,origin,thin
[lvol1_pmspare] vg ewi------- linear metadata,pool,spare
lvol2 vg Vwi-a-tz-- thin snapshot,thin
lvol3 vg Vwi-a-tz-- thin snapshot,thin
pool vg twi-a-tz-- pool,thin pool,thin
[pool_tdata] vg Twi-ao---- linear data,pool,thin
[pool_tmeta] vg ewi-ao---- linear metadata,pool,thin
(added "multiple" for external origin used for more than one
thin snapshot - lvol0 in the example above)
Thin snapshots having external origins missed the "snapshot" keyword for
lv_type field. Also, thin external origins which are thin devices (from
another pool) were not recognized properly.
For example, external origin itself can be either non-thin volume (lvol0
below) or it can be a thin volume from another pool (lvol3 below):
Before this patch:
$ lvs -o name,vg_name,attr,pool_lv,origin,layout,type
Internal error: Failed to properly detect layout and type for for LV vg/lvol3
Internal error: Failed to properly detect layout and type for for LV vg/lvol3

lvol0 vg ori------- linear external,origin,thin
lvol2 vg Vwi-a-tz-- pool lvol0 thin thin
lvol3 vg ori---tz-- pool unknown external,origin,thin,thin
lvol4 vg Vwi-a-tz-- pool1 lvol3 thin thin
pool vg twi-a-tz-- pool,thin pool,thin
pool1 vg twi-a-tz-- pool,thin pool,thin
- lvol2 as well as lvol4 have missing "snapshot" in type field
- lvol3 has unrecognized layout (should be "thin"), but has double
"thin" in lv_type which is incorrect
- (also there's double "for" in the internal error message)
With this patch applied:
$ lvs -o name,vg_name,attr,pool_lv,origin,layout,type
LV VG Attr Pool Origin Layout Type
lvol0 vg ori------- linear external,origin,thin
lvol2 vg Vwi-a-tz-- pool lvol0 thin snapshot,thin
lvol3 vg ori---tz-- pool thin external,origin,thin
lvol4 vg Vwi-a-tz-- pool1 lvol3 thin snapshot,thin
pool vg twi-a-tz-- pool,thin pool,thin
pool1 vg twi-a-tz-- pool,thin pool,thin
The maximum stripe size is equal to the volume group PE size. If that
size falls below the STRIPE_SIZE_MIN, the creation of RAID 4/5/6 volumes
becomes impossible. (The kernel will fail to load a RAID 4/5/6 mapping
table with a stripe size less than STRIPE_SIZE_MIN.) So, we report an
error if it is attempted.
This is very rare because reducing the PE size down that far limits the
size of the PV below that of modern devices.
metadata/lv_manip.c:269: warning: declaration of "snapshot_count" shadows a global declaration
There's existing function called "snapshot_count" so rename the
variable to "snap_count".
The lv_layout and lv_type fields together help with LV identification.
We can do basic identification using the lv_attr field which provides
very condensed view. In contrast to that, the new lv_layout and lv_type
fields provide more detialed information on exact layout and type used
for LVs.
For top-level LVs which are pure types not combined with any
other LV types, the lv_layout value is equal to lv_type value.
For non-top-level LVs which may be combined with other types,
the lv_layout describes the underlying layout used, while the
lv_type describes the use/type/usage of the LV.
These two new fields are both string lists so selection (-S/--select)
criteria can be defined using the list operators easily:
[] for strict matching
{} for subset matching.
For example, let's consider this:
$ lvs -a -o name,vg_name,lv_attr,layout,type
LV VG Attr Layout Type
[lvol1_pmspare] vg ewi------- linear metadata,pool,spare
pool vg twi-a-tz-- pool,thin pool,thin
[pool_tdata] vg rwi-aor--- level10,raid data,pool,thin
[pool_tdata_rimage_0] vg iwi-aor--- linear image,raid
[pool_tdata_rimage_1] vg iwi-aor--- linear image,raid
[pool_tdata_rimage_2] vg iwi-aor--- linear image,raid
[pool_tdata_rimage_3] vg iwi-aor--- linear image,raid
[pool_tdata_rmeta_0] vg ewi-aor--- linear metadata,raid
[pool_tdata_rmeta_1] vg ewi-aor--- linear metadata,raid
[pool_tdata_rmeta_2] vg ewi-aor--- linear metadata,raid
[pool_tdata_rmeta_3] vg ewi-aor--- linear metadata,raid
[pool_tmeta] vg ewi-aor--- level1,raid metadata,pool,thin
[pool_tmeta_rimage_0] vg iwi-aor--- linear image,raid
[pool_tmeta_rimage_1] vg iwi-aor--- linear image,raid
[pool_tmeta_rmeta_0] vg ewi-aor--- linear metadata,raid
[pool_tmeta_rmeta_1] vg ewi-aor--- linear metadata,raid
thin_snap1 vg Vwi---tz-k thin snapshot,thin
thin_snap2 vg Vwi---tz-k thin snapshot,thin
thin_vol1 vg Vwi-a-tz-- thin thin
thin_vol2 vg Vwi-a-tz-- thin multiple,origin,thin
Which is a situation with thin pool, thin volumes and thin snapshots.
We can see internal 'pool_tdata' volume that makes up thin pool has
actually a level10 raid layout and the internal 'pool_tmeta' has
level1 raid layout. Also, we can see that 'thin_snap1' and 'thin_snap2'
are both thin snapshots while 'thin_vol1' is thin origin (having
multiple snapshots).
Such reporting scheme provides much better base for selection criteria
in addition to providing more detailed information, for example:
$ lvs -a -o name,vg_name,lv_attr,layout,type -S 'type=metadata'
LV VG Attr Layout Type
[lvol1_pmspare] vg ewi------- linear metadata,pool,spare
[pool_tdata_rmeta_0] vg ewi-aor--- linear metadata,raid

[pool_tdata_rmeta_3] vg ewi-aor--- linear metadata,raid
[pool_tmeta] vg ewi-aor--- level1,raid metadata,pool,thin
[pool_tmeta_rmeta_0] vg ewi-aor--- linear metadata,raid
[pool_tmeta_rmeta_1] vg ewi-aor--- linear metadata,raid
(selected all LVs which are related to metadata of any type)
lvs -a -o name,vg_name,lv_attr,layout,type -S 'type={metadata,thin}'
LV VG Attr Layout Type
[pool_tmeta] vg ewi-aor--- level1,raid metadata,pool,thin

LV VG Attr Layout Type
[pool_tmeta] vg ewi-aor--- level1,raid metadata,pool,thin
(selected all LVs with raid level1 layout exactly)
And so on...
_pvcreate_check() has two missing requirements:
After refreshing filters there must be a rescan.
(Otherwise the persistent filter may remain empty.)
After wiping a signature, the filters must be refreshed.
(A device that was previously excluded by the filter due to
its signature might now need to be included.)
If several devices are added at once, the repeated scanning isn't
strictly needed, but we can address that later as part of the command
processing restructuring (by grouping the devices).
Replace the new pvcreate code added by commit
54685c20fc "filters: fix regression caused
by commit e80884cd080cad7e10be4588e3493b9000649426"
with this change to _pvcreate_check().
The filter refresh problem dates back to commit
acb4b5e4de "Fix pvcreate device check."
If using persistent filter and we're refreshing filters (just like we
do for pvcreate now after commit 54685c20fc),
we can't rely on getting the primary device of the partition from the cache
as such device could be already filtered by persistent filter and we get
a device cache lookup failure for such device.
For example:
$ lvm dumpconfig --type diff
devices {
obtain_device_list_from_udev=0
}
$lsblk /dev/sda
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 128M 0 disk
`-sda1 8:1 0 127M 0 part
$cat /etc/lvm/cache/.cache | grep sda
"/dev/sda1",
$pvcreate /dev/sda1
dev_is_mpath: failed to get device for 8:1
Physical volume "/dev/sda1" successfully created
The problematic part of the code called dev_cache_get_by_devt
to get the device for the device number supplied. Then the code
used dev_name(dev) to get the name which is then used in check
whether there's any mpath on top of this dev...
This patch uses sysfs to get the base name for the partition
instead, hence avoiding the device cache which is a correct
approach here.
The message "Cannot deactivate remotely exclusive device locally." makes
sense only for clustered LV. If the LV is non-clustered, then it's
always exclusive by definition and if it's already deactivated, this
message pops up inappropriately as those two conditions are met.
So issue the message only if the conditions are met AND we have clustered VG.
Commit e80884cd08 tried to dump filters
for them to be reevaluated when creating a PV to avoid overwriting
any existing signature that may have been created after last
scan/filtering.
However, we need to call refresh_filters instead of
persistent_filter->dump since dump requires proper rescannig to fill
up the persistent filter again. However, this is true only for pvcreate
but not for vgcreate with PV creation where the scanning happens before
this PV creation and hence the next rescan (if not full scan), does not
fill the persistent filter.
Also, move refresh_filters so that it's called sooner and only for
pvcreate, vgcreate already calls lvmcache_label_scan(cmd, 2) which
then calls refresh_filters itself, so no need to reevaluate this again.
This caused the persistent filter (/etc/lvm/cache/.cache file) to be
wrong and contain only the PV just being processed with
vgcreate <vg_name> <pv_name_to_create>.
This regression caused other block devices to be filtered out in case
the vgcreate with PV creation was used and then the persistent filter
is used by any other LVM command afterwards.
Make lvresize -l+%FREE support approximate allocation.
Move existing "Reducing/Extending' message to verbose level
and change it to say 'up to' if approximate allocation is being used.
Replace it with a new message that gives the actual old and new size or
says 'unchanged'.
This is addendum to commit 2e82a070f3
which fixed these spurious messages that appeared after commit
651d5093ed ("avoid pv_read in
find_pv_by_name").
There was one more "not found" message issued in case the device
could not be found in device cache (commit 2e82a07 fixed this only
for PV lookup itself). But if we "allow_unformatted" for
find_pv_by_name, we should not issue this message even in case
the device can't be found in dev cache as we just need to know
whether there's a PV or not for the code to decide on next steps
and we don't want to issue any messages if either device itself
is not found or PV is not found.
For example, when we were creating a new PV (and so allow_unformatted = 1)
and the device had a signature on it which caused it to be filtered
by device filter (e.g. MD signature if md filtering is enabled),
or it was part of some other subsystem (e.g. multipath), this message
was issued on find_pv_by_name call which was misleading.
Also, remove misleading "stack" call in case find_pv_by_name
returns NULL in pvcreate_check - any error state is reported
later by pvcreate_check code so no need to "stack" here.
There's one more and proper check to issue "not found" message if
the device can't be found in device cache within pvcreate_check fn
so this situation is still covered properly later in the code.
Before this patch (/dev/sda contains MD signature and is therefore filtered):
$ pvcreate /dev/sda
Physical volume /dev/sda not found
WARNING: linux_raid_member signature detected on /dev/sda at offset 4096. Wipe it? [y/n]:
With this patch applied:
$ pvcreate /dev/sda
WARNING: linux_raid_member signature detected on /dev/sda at offset 4096. Wipe it? [y/n]:
Non-existent devices are still caught properly:
$ pvcreate /dev/sdx
Device /dev/sdx not found (or ignored by filtering).
2.02.106 added suffixes to some LV uuids in the kernel.
If any of these LVs is activated with 2.02.105 or earlier,
and then a later version is used, the LVs appear invisible and
activation commands fail.
The code now has to check the kernel for both old and new uuids.
Fix get_pool_params to only read params.
Add poolmetadataspare option to get_pool_params.
Move all profile code into update_pool_params.

Few unecessary comments were written to on-disc metadata.
Use outfc() to have comments only in archived files.

TODO: needed validation against newline char...
Cache pools are similar as with thin pools.
Add (needs %s) - since cache has currently
a bit strange need for extra few kb over
our default 4M extent size so make it more obvious.
When EOF is detect - it could be either 'Ctrl+C'
or empty stdin.
For Ctrl+C there is visual ^C sign.
For EOF print 'n' so decision is clear in debug print.
This is addendum for commit 6dc7b783c8.
LVM1 format stores the ALLOCATABLE flag directly in PV header, not
in VG metadata. So the code needs to be fixed further to work
properly for lvm1 format so that the correct PV header is written
(the flag is set only if the PV is in some VG, unset otherwise).
Before the patch:
$ lvs -o name,active vg/lvol1 --driverloaded n

Like other binary fields we already have:
$ lvs -o name,zero vg/lvx vg/pool vg/pool1

pool1 zero
$ lvs -o name,zero vg/lvx vg/pool vg/pool1 --binary
LV Zero
lvx -1
pool 0
pool1 1
Currently, we have two modes of activation, an unnamed nominal mode
(which I will refer to as "complete") and "partial" mode. The
"complete" mode requires that a volume group be 'complete' - that
is, no missing PVs. If there are any missing PVs, no affected LVs
are allowed to activate - even RAID LVs which might be able to
tolerate a failure. The "partial" mode allows anything to be
activated (or at least attempted). If a non-redundant LV is
missing a portion of its addressable space due to a device failure,
it will be replaced with an error target. RAID LVs will either
activate or fail to activate depending on how badly their
redundancy is compromised.
This patch adds a third option, "degraded" mode. This mode can
be selected via the '--activationmode {complete|degraded|partial}'
option to lvchange/vgchange. It can also be set in lvm.conf.
The "degraded" activation mode allows RAID LVs with a sufficient
level of redundancy to activate (e.g. a RAID5 LV with one device
failure, a RAID6 with two device failures, or RAID1 with n-1
failures). RAID LVs with too many device failures are not allowed
to activate - nor are any non-redundant LVs that may have been
affected. This patch also makes the "degraded" mode the default
activation mode.
The degraded activation mode does not yet work in a cluster. A
new cluster lock flag (LCK_DEGRADED_MODE) will need to be created
to make that work. Currently, there is limited space for this
extra flag and I am looking for possible solutions. One possible
solution is to usurp LCK_CONVERT, as it is not used. When the
locking_type is 3, the degraded mode flag simply gets dropped and
the old ("complete") behavior is exhibited.
We have 1/"descriptive word"/"yes" for 1 and 0/"no" for 0.
For example (the new recognized values are "yes" and "no"):
$ lvs -o name,device_open fedora vg/lvol1 vg/lvol2
LV DevOpen
root open
swap open
lvol1 open
lvol2
$ lvs -o name,device_open fedora vg/lvol1 vg/lvol2 -S 'device_open=open'
LV DevOpen
root open
swap open
lvol1 open
$ lvs -o name,device_open fedora vg/lvol1 vg/lvol2 -S 'device_open=1'
LV DevOpen
root open
swap open
lvol1 open
$ lvs -o name,device_open fedora vg/lvol1 vg/lvol2 -S 'device_open=yes'
LV DevOpen
root open
swap open

$ lvs -o name,device_open fedora vg/lvol1 vg/lvol2 -S 'device_open=0'
LV DevOpen

$ lvs -o name,device_open fedora vg/lvol1 vg/lvol2 -S 'device_open=no'
LV DevOpen

So all attribute reporting functions are all in one section of code
for quick orientation (all these functions are defined in the order
of their attribute character displayed in pv/vg/lv_attr field).
lv_active_{locally,remotely,exclusively} display the original
"lv_active" field in a more separate way so that we can create
selection criteria in a binary-based form (yes/no).
The macros for reserved value definition makes the process a bit easier,
but there's still a place for improvement and make this even more
transparent. We can optimize and provide better automatism here later on.
Also respect --binary arg and/or report/binary_values_as_numeric
when displaying unknown values. If textual form is used, use "unknown",
if numeric value is used, use "-1" (which we already use to denote
unknown numeric values in other reports like lv_kernel_major and
lv_kernel_minor).
All binary attr fields have synonyms so selection criteria can use
either 0/1 or words to match against the field value (base type
for these binary fields is numeric one - DM_REPORT_FIELD_TYPE_NUMBER
so words are registered as reserved values):
pv_allocatable - "allocatable"
pv_exported - "exported"
pv_missing - "missing"
vg_extendable - "extendable"
vg_exported - "exported"
vg_partial - "partial"
vg_clustered - "clustered"
lv_initial_image_sync - "initial image sync", "sync"
lv_image_synced_names - "image synced", "synced"
lv_merging_names - "merging"
lv_converting_names - "converting"
lv_allocation_locked - "allocation locked", "locked"
lv_fixed_minor - "fixed minor", "fixed"
lv_merge_failed - "merge failed", "failed"
For example, these three are all equivalent:
$ lvs -o name,fixed_minor -S 'fixed_minor=fixed'
LV FixMin
lvol8 fixed minor
$ lvs -o name,fixed_minor -S 'fixed_minor="fixed minor"'
LV FixMin
lvol8 fixed minor
$ lvs -o name,fixed_minor -S 'fixed_minor=1'
LV FixMin
lvol8 fixed minor
The same with binary output - it has no effect on this functionality:
$ lvs -o name,fixed_minor --binary -S 'fixed_minor=fixed'
LV FixMin
lvol8 1
$ lvs -o name,fixed_minor --binary -S 'fixed_minor="fixed
minor"'
LV FixMin
lvol8 1
[1] f20/~ # lvs -o name,fixed_minor --binary -S 'fixed_minor=1'
LV FixMin
lvol8 1
The --binary option, if used, causes all the binary values reported
in reporting commands to be displayed as "0" or "1" instead of descriptive
literal values (value "unknown" is still used for values that could not be
determined).
Also, add report/binary_values_as_numeric lvm.conf option with the same
functionality as the --binary option (the --binary option prevails
if both --binary cmd option and report/binary_values_as_numeric lvm.conf
option is used at the same time). The report/binary_values_as_numeric is
also profilable.
This makes it easier to use and check lvm reporting command output in scripts.

LVSINFO is exactly the same as existing LVS report type,
but it has the "struct lvinfo" populated in addition for
use - this is useful for fields that display the status
of the LV device itself (e.g. suspended state, tables
present/missing...).
Currently, such properties are reported within the "lv_attr"
field so separation is unnecessary - the "lvinfo" call
to populate the "struct lvinfo" is directly a part of the
field reporting function - _lvstatus_disp/lv_attr_dup.
With upcoming patches, we'd like the lv_attr field bits
to be separated into their own fields. To avoid calling
"lvinfo" fn as many times as there are fields requiring
the "lv_info" structure to be populated while reporting
one row related to one LV, we're separating former LVS
into LVS and LVSINFO report type. With this, there's
just one "lvinfo" call for one report row and LV reporting
fields will take the info needed from this struct then,
hence reusing it and not calling "lvinfo" fn on their own.
The get_lv_type_name helps with translating volume type
to human readable form (can be used in reports or
various messages if needed).
The lv_is_linear and lv_is_striped complete the set of
lv_is_* functions that identify exact volume types.
Mention parent LV as well as the LV triggering the warning.
Still leaves some confusing cases but its not worth fixing them
at the moment.
(Thin pool inactive but a thin volume active => deactivate thin vol.
Inactive mirror/raid with pvmove in progress => complete pvmove and
active&deactivate mirror/raid.
If new VG already exists it requires some LVs to be inactive
unnecessarily.)
Support remove of thin volumes With --force --force
when thin pools is damaged.
This way it's possible to remove thin pool with
unrepairable metadata without requiring to
manually edit lvm2 metadata.
lvremove -ff vg/pool
removes all thin volumes and pool even when
thin pool cannot be activated (to accept
removal of thin volumes in kernel metadata)
Using suffixes for mirrors and raids will need more work,
before this could be enabled.
Meanwhile revert to previous behavior.
Keep suffixes for thins and caches.
Since vg_name inside /lib function has already been ignored mostly
except for a few debug prints - make it and official internal API
feature.
vg_name is used only in /tools while the VG is not yet openned,
and when lvresize/lvcreate /lib function is called with VG pointer
already being used, then vg_name becomes irrelevant (it's not been
validated anyway).
So any internal user of lvcreate_params and lvresize_params does not
need to set vg_name pointer and may leave it NULL.
Use suffixes for easier detection of private volumes.
This commit makes older volume UUIDs incompatible and
it most probably needs machine reboot after upgrade.
When creating pool's metadata - create initial LV for clearing with some
generic name and after the volume is create & cleared - rename it to
reserved name '_tmeta/_cmeta'.
We should not expose 'reserved' names for public LVs.
When repairing RAID LVs that have multiple PVs per image, allow
replacement images to be reallocated from the PVs that have not
failed in the image if there is sufficient space.
This allows for scenarios where a 2-way RAID1 is spread across 4 PVs,
where each image lives on two PVs but doesn't use the entire space
on any of them. If one PV fails and there is sufficient space on the
remaining PV in the image, the image can be reallocated on just the
remaining PV.
Previously, the seg_pvs used to track free and allocated space where left
in place after 'release_pv_segment' was called to free space from an LV.
Now, an attempt is made to combine any adjacent seg_pvs that also track
free space. Usually, this doesn't provide much benefit, but in a case
where one command might free some space and then do an allocation, it
can make a difference. One such case is during a repair of a RAID LV,
where one PV of a multi-PV image fails. This new behavior is used when
the replacement image can be allocated from the remaining space of the
PV that did not fail. (First the entire image with the failed PV is
removed. Then the image is reallocated from the remaining PVs.)
I've changed build_parallel_areas_from_lv to take a new parameter
that allows the caller to build parallel areas by LV vs by segment.
Previously, the function created a list of parallel areas for each
segment in the given LV. When it came time for allocation, the
parallel areas were honored on a segment basis. This was problematic
for RAID because any new RAID image must avoid being placed on any
PVs used by other images in the RAID. For example, if we have a
linear LV that has half its space on one PV and half on another, we
do not want an up-convert to use either of those PVs. It should
especially not wind up with the following, where the first portion
of one LV is paired up with the second portion of the other:
------PV1------- ------PV2-------
[ 2of2 image_1 ] [ 1of2 image_1 ]
[ 1of2 image_0 ] [ 2of2 image_0 ]
---------------- ----------------
Previously, it was possible for this to happen. The change makes
it so that the returned parallel areas list contains one "super"
segment (seg_pvs) with a list of all the PVs from every actual
segment in the given LV and covering the entire logical extent range.
This change allows RAID conversions to function properly when there
are existing images that contain multiple segments that span more
than one PV.
...to avoid using cached value (persistent filter) and therefore
not noticing any change made after last scan/filtering - the state
of the device may have changed, for example new signatures added.

Take a local file lock to prevent concurrent activation/deactivation of LVs.
Thin/cache types and an extension for cluster support are excluded for
now.
'lvchange -ay $lv' and 'lvchange -an $lv' should no longer cause trouble
if issued concurrently: the new lock should make sure they
activate/deactivate $lv one-after-the-other, instead of overlapping.
(If anyone wants to experiment with the cluster patch, please get in touch.)
'lvs' would segfault if trying to display the "move pv" if the
pvmove was run with '--atomic'. The structure of an atomic pvmove
is different and requires us to descend another level in the
LV tree to retrieve the PV information.
In 'find_pvmove_lv', separate the code that searches the atomic
pvmove LVs from the code that searches the normal pvmove LVs. This
cleans up the segment iterator code a bit.

pvmove can be used to move single LVs by name or multiple LVs that
lie within the specified PV range (e.g. /dev/sdb1:0-1000). When
moving more than one LV, the portions of those LVs that are in the
range to be moved are added to a new temporary pvmove LV. The LVs
then point to the range in the pvmove LV, rather than the PV
range.
Example 1:
We have two LVs in this example. After they were
created, the first LV was grown, yeilding two segments
in LV1. So, there are two LVs with a total of three
segments.
Before pvmove:
--------- --------- ---------
| LV1s0 | | LV2s0 | | LV1s1 |
--------- --------- ---------
| | |
-------------------------------------
PV | 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 | 512 - 767 |
-------------------------------------
After pvmove inserts the temporary pvmove LV:
--------- --------- ---------
| LV1s0 | | LV2s0 | | LV1s1 |
--------- --------- ---------
| | |
-------------------------------------
pvmove0 | seg 0 | seg 1 | seg 2 |
-------------------------------------
| | |
-------------------------------------
PV | 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 | 512 - 767 |
-------------------------------------
Each of the affected LV segments now point to a
range of blocks in the pvmove LV, which purposefully
corresponds to the segments moved from the original
LVs into the temporary pvmove LV.
The current implementation goes on from here to mirror the temporary
pvmove LV by segment. Further, as the pvmove LV is activated, only
one of its segments is actually mirrored (i.e. "moving") at a time.
The rest are either complete or not addressed yet. If the pvmove
is aborted, those segments that are completed will remain on the
destination and those that are not yet addressed or in the process
of moving will stay on the source PV. Thus, it is possible to have
a partially completed move - some LVs (or certain segments of LVs)
on the source PV and some on the destination.
Example 2:
What 'example 1' might look if it was half-way
through the move.
--------- --------- ---------
| LV1s0 | | LV2s0 | | LV1s1 |
--------- --------- ---------
| | |
-------------------------------------
pvmove0 | seg 0 | seg 1 | seg 2 |
-------------------------------------
| | |
| -------------------------
source PV | | 256 - 511 | 512 - 767 |
| -------------------------
| ||
-------------------------
dest PV | 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 |
-------------------------
This update allows the user to specify that they would like the
pvmove mirror created "by LV" rather than "by segment". That is,
the pvmove LV becomes an image in an encapsulating mirror along
with the allocated copy image.
Example 3:
A pvmove that is performed "by LV" rather than "by segment".
--------- ---------
| LV1s0 | | LV2s0 |
--------- ---------
| |
-------------------------
pvmove0 | * LV-level mirror * |
-------------------------
/ \
pvmove_mimage0 / pvmove_mimage1
------------------------- -------------------------
| seg 0 | seg 1 | | seg 0 | seg 1 |
------------------------- -------------------------
| | | |
------------------------- -------------------------
| 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 | | 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 |
------------------------- -------------------------

The thing that differentiates a pvmove done in this way and a simple
"up-convert" from linear to mirror is the preservation of the
distinct segments. A normal up-convert would simply allocate the
necessary space with no regard for segment boundaries. The pvmove
operation must preserve the segments because they are the critical
boundary between the segments of the LVs being moved. So, when the
pvmove copy image is allocated, all corresponding segments must be
allocated. The code that merges ajoining segments that are part of
the same LV when the metadata is written must also be avoided in
this case. This method of mirroring is unique enough to warrant its
own definitional macro, MIRROR_BY_SEGMENTED_LV. This joins the two
existing macros: MIRROR_BY_SEG (for original pvmove) and MIRROR_BY_LV
(for user created mirrors).
The advantages of performing pvmove in this way is that all of the
LVs affected can be moved together. It is an all-or-nothing approach
that leaves all LV segments on the source PV if the move is aborted.
Additionally, a mirror log can be used (in the future) to provide tracking
of progress; allowing the copy to continue where it left off in the event
there is a deactivation.
The differentiation of the original number field into number, size and
percent field types has been introduced with recent changes for report
selection support.
Make dm_report_init_with_selection to accept an argument with an
array of reserved values where each element contains a triple:
{dm report field type, reserved value, array of strings representing this value}
When the selection is parsed, we always check whether a string
representation of some reserved value is not hit and if it is,
we use the reserved value assigned for this string instead of
trying to parse it as a value of certain field type.
This makes it possible to define selections like:
... --select lv_major=undefined (or -1 or unknown or undef or whatever string representations are registered for this reserved value in the future)
... --select lv_read_ahead=auto
... --select vg_mda_copies=unmanaged
With this, each time the field value of certain type is hit
and when we compare it with the selection, we use the proper
value for comparison.
For now, register these reserved values that are used at the moment
(also more descriptive names are used for the values):
const uint64_t _reserved_number_undef_64 = UINT64_MAX;
const uint64_t _reserved_number_unmanaged_64 = UINT64_MAX - 1;
const uint64_t _reserved_size_auto_64 = UINT64_MAX;
{
{DM_REPORT_FIELD_TYPE_NUMBER, _reserved_number_undef_64, {"-1", "undefined", "undef", "unknown", NULL}},
{DM_REPORT_FIELD_TYPE_NUMBER, _reserved_number_unmanaged_64, {"unmanaged", NULL}},
{DM_REPORT_FIELD_TYPE_SIZE, _reserved_size_auto_64, {"auto", NULL}},
NULL
}
Same reserved value of different field types do not collide.
All arrays are null-terminated.
The list of reserved values is automatically displayed within
selection help output:
Selection operands
------------------
...
Reserved values
---------------
-1, undefined, undef, unknown - Reserved value for undefined numeric value. [number]
unmanaged - Reserved value for unmanaged number of metadata copies in VG. [number]
auto - Reserved value for size that is automatically calculated. [size]
Selection operators
-------------------
...
The {pv,vg,lv,seg}_tags and lv_modules fields are reported as string
lists using the new dm_report_field_string_list - so we just pass
the list to the fn that takes care of reporting and item sorting itself.
The list of strings is used quite frequently and we'd like to reuse
this simple structure for report selection support too. Make it part
of libdevmapper for general reuse throughout the code.
This also simplifies the LVM code a bit since we don't need to
include and manage lvm-types.h anymore (the string list was the
only structure defined there).
This makes it easier to check against the fields (following patches for
report selection) and check whether size units are allowed or not
with the field value.
When creating a cache LV with a RAID origin, we need to ensure that
the sub-LVs of that origin properly change their names to include
the "_corig" extention of the top-level LV. We do this by first
performing a 'lv_rename_update' before making the call to
'insert_layer_for_lv'.
Internal reporting function cannot handle NULL reporting value,
so ensure there is at least dummy label.
So move dummy_lable from tools/reporter.c and use it for all
report_object() calls in lib/report/report.c.

Enable 'retry' deactivation also in 'cleanup' phase.
It shouldn't be mostly needed - however udev now produces
more and more completelny non-synchronizable device opens,
so even for orphan devices we can't easily predict where
udevd opens devices.
So it's more preferable here to log error about device being open
and retry clean, but let the command proceed.
