Before, we refreshed filters and we did full rescan of devices if
we passed through wiping (wipe_known_signatures fn call). However,
this fn returns success even if no signatures were found and so
nothing was wiped. In this case, it's not necessary to do the
filter refresh/rescan of devices as nothing changed clearly.
This patch exports number of wiped signatures from all the
wiping functions below. The caller (_pvcreate_check) then checks
whether any wiping was done at all and if not, no refresh/rescan
is done, saving some time and resources.
pvcreate code path executes signature wiping if there are any signatures
found on device to prepare the device for PV. When the signature is wiped,
the WATCH udev rule triggers the event which then updates udev database
with fresh info, clearing the old record about previous signature.
However, when we're using udev db as dev-ext source, we'd need to wait
for this WATCH-triggered event. But we can't synchronize against such
events (at least not at this moment). Without this sync, if the code
continues, the device could still be marked as containing the old
signature if reading udev db. This may end up even with the device
to be still filtered, though the signature is already wiped.
This problem is then exposed as (an example with md components):
$ mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda /dev/sdb --run
$ mdadm -S /dev/md0
$ pvcreate -y /dev/sda
Wiping linux_raid_member signature on /dev/sda.
/dev/sda: Couldn't find device. Check your filters?
$ echo $?
5
So we need to temporarily switch off "udev" dev-ext source here
in this part of pvcreate code until we find a way how to sync
with WATCH events.
(This problem does not occur with signature wiping which we do
on newly created LVs since we already handle this properly with
our udev flags - the LV_NOSCAN/LV_TEMPORARY flag. But we can't use
this technique for non-dm devices to keep WATCH rule under control.)
for_each_sub_lv() now scans in depth also pools, however for
rename we actually do want to skip pools.
So add a new for_each_sub_lv_except_pools() to be used by rename,
every other user of for_each_sub_lv() scans every sub LV with pools
included.
This is i.e. necessary for properly working preload of pools
that are using raid arrays.
This is a regression from v115 where some of the fields/properties
were converted to using the common "struct lvinfo" and
"struct lv_seg_status" so we don't need to issue info and status
ioctl several times per one reported line. Not all fields are
converted yet, but one that *is* converted is the lv_attr field
with the lv_attr_dup counterpart used in lvm_lv_get_attr lvm2app fn.
These changes were introduced with e34b004422
and later - this patch introduced the "info_ok" field in the
lv_with_info_and_seg_status structure which encapsulates the lvinfo
and lv_seg_status struct.
For the lv_attr_dup, the lv_attr_dup code missed the
assignment for the "info_ok" flag which saves the result of the
lv_info_with_seg_status call. Hence such info was marked
as unusable - unknown and it was returned as such via lvm_lv_get_attr
lvm2app fn.
When raid leg is extracted, now the preload code handles this state
correctly and put proper new table entry into dm tree,
so the activation of extracted leg and removed metadata works
after commit.
Rename original lv_error_when_full field to lv_when_full and also
convert it from binary field to string field displaying three
possible values: "error", "queueu" or "" (blank for undefined).
$ lvs vg/pool vg/pool1 vg/linear_lv -o+lv_when_full
LV VG Attr LSize Data% Meta% WhenFull
linear_lv vg -wi-a----- 4.00m
pool vg twi-aotz-- 4.00m 0.00 0.98 queue
pool1 vg twi-a-tz-- 4.00m 0.00 0.88 error
For -S|--select these synonyms are recognized:
"error" -> "error when full", "error if no space"
"queue" -> "queue when full", "queue if no space"
"" -> "undefined"
Recently the single 'status' code has been used for number of cache
features.
Extend the API a little bit to allow usage also for lv_attr_dup.
As the function itself is used in lvm2api - add a new function:
lv_attr_dup_with_info_and_seg_status() that is able to use
grabbed info & status information.
report_init() is now using directly passed lvdm struct pointer
which holds the infomation whether lv_info() was correctly obtained or
there was some error when trying to read it.
Move 'healt' attribute to status.
TODO convert raid function to use the already known status.
The previous patch felt short WRT disabling allocation on PVs holding other
legs of the RAID LV persistently; this patch introduces an internal,
transient PV flag PV_ALLOCATION_PROHIBITED to address this very problem.
General problem description for completeness:
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.
Support error_if_no_space feature for thin pools.
Report more info about thinpool status:
(out_of_data (D), metadata_read_only (M), failed (F) also as health
attribute.)

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".
$ lvcreate -l1 -m1 --type mirror vg
Logical volume "lvol0" created.

Proper name: lvol0_rimage_0
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
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.
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.
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).
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.
This would be in case the pool segment was not found.

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
}
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.
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).
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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->
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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)
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.
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

[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)
