leaving behind the LVM-specific parts of the code (convenience wrappers that
handle `struct device` and `struct cmd_context`, basically). A number of
functions have been renamed (in addition to getting a dm_ prefix) -- namely,
all of the config interface now has a dm_config_ prefix.
There's a very high memory usage when calling _pv_analyse_mda_raw (e.g. while
executing pvck) that can end up with "out of memory".
_pv_analyse_mda_raw scans for metadata in the MDA, iteratively increasing the
size to scan with SECTOR_SIZE until we find a probable config section or we're
at the edge of the metadata area. However, when using a memory pool, we're also
iteratively chasing for bigger and bigger mempool chunk which can't be found
and so we're always allocating a new one, consuming more and more memory...
This patch just changes the mempool to direct memory allocation in this
problematic part of the code.
There is duplicate code in t-lvconvert-raid.sh and t-lvcreate-raid.sh.
This should be moved into a common file which is then sourced by these two
files. I'll wait to move the duplicate code until I can talk to mornfall.
This patch adds the ability to upconvert a raid1 array - say from 2-way to
3-way. It does not yet support upconverting linear to n-way.
The 'raid' device-mapper target allows for individual components (images) of
an array to be specified for rebuild. This mechanism is used when adding
new images to the array so that the new images can be resync'ed while the
rest of the images in the array can remain 'in-sync'. (There is no
mirror-on-mirror layering required.)
~> lvconvert --splitmirrors 1 --trackchanges vg/lv
The '--trackchanges' option allows a user the ability to use an image of
a RAID1 array for the purposes of temporary read-only access. The image
can be merged back into the array at a later time and only the blocks that
have changed in the array since the split will be resync'ed. This
operation can be thought of as a partial split. The image is never completely
extracted from the array, in that the array reserves the position the device
occupied and tracks the differences between the array and the split image via
a bitmap. The image itself is rendered read-only and the name (<LV>_rimage_*)
cannot be changed. The user can complete the split (permanently splitting the
image from the array) by re-issuing the 'lvconvert' command without the
'--trackchanges' argument and specifying the '--name' argument.
~> lvconvert --splitmirrors 1 --name my_split vg/lv
Merging the tracked image back into the array is done with the '--merge'
option (included in a follow-on patch).
~> lvconvert --merge vg/lv_rimage_<n>
The internal mechanics of this are relatively simple. The 'raid' device-
mapper target allows for the specification of an empty slot in an array
via '- -'. This is what will be used if a partial activation of an array
is ever required. (It would also be possible to use 'error' targets in
place of the '- -'.) If a RAID image is found to be both read-only and
visible, then it is considered separate from the array and '- -' is used
to hold it's position in the array. So, all that needs to be done to
temporarily split an image from the array /and/ cause the kernel target's
bitmap to track (aka "mark") changes made is to make the specified image
visible and read-only. To merge the device back into the array, the image
needs to be returned to the read/write state of the top-level LV and made
invisible.
Users already have the ability to split an image from an LV of "mirror"
segtype. This patch extends that ability to LVs of "raid1" segtype.
This patch only allows a single image to be split off, however. (The
"mirror" segtype allows an arbitrary number of images to be split off.
e.g. 4-way => 3-way/linear, 2-way/2-way, linear,3-way)
of top-level LV.
We can't activate sub-lv's that are being removed from a RAID1 LV while it
is suspended. However, this is what was being used to have them show-up
so we could remove them. 'sync_local_dev_names' is a sufficient and
proper replacement and can be done after the top-level LV is resumed.
1) add new function 'raid_remove_top_layer' which will be useful
to other conversion functions later (also cleans up code)
2) Add error messages if raid_[extract|add]_images fails
3) Add function prototypes to prevent compiler warnings when
compiling with '--with-raid=shared'
Fix a couple more issues that kabi found.
- Add some error messages in failure cases
- s/malloc/zalloc/
- use vg->vgmem for lv names instead of vg->cmd->mem
Skip decoding of DM flags when device is removed.
We currently need DM flags only for add|change events. So forking
dmsetup process for removed devices is a waste of CPU time.
Udev is already quite slow, so make it just a tiny bit faster.
Add config option to enable crc checking of VG structures.
Currently it's disabled by default.
For the internal test-suite this check it is enabled.
Note: In the case the internal error is detected, debug build with
compile option DEBUG_ENFORCE_POOL_LOCKING helps to catch the source
of the problem.
Use debug pool locking functionality. So the command could check,
whether the memory in the pool has not been modified.
For lv_postoder() instead of unlocking and locking for every changed
struct status member do it once when entering and leaving function.
(mprotect would trap each such memory access).
Currently lv_postoder() does not modify other part of vg structure
then status flags of each LV with flags that are reverted back to
its original state after function exit.
Adding debuging functionality to lock and unlock memory pool.
2 ways to debug code:
crc - is default checksum/hash of the locked pool.
It gets slower when the pool is larger - so the check is only
made when VG is finaly released and it has been used more then
once.Thus the result is rather informative.
mprotect - quite fast all the time - but requires more memory and
currently it is using posix_memalign() - this could be
later modified to use dm_malloc() and align internally.
Tool segfaults when locked memory is modified and core
could be examined for faulty code section (backtrace).
Only fast memory pools could use mprotect for now -
so such debug builds cannot be combined with DEBUG_POOL.
Extend vginfo cache with cached VG structure. So if the same metadata
are use, skip mda decoding in the case, the same data are in use.
This helps for operations like activation of all LVs in one VG,
where same data were decoded giving the same output result.
Patch adds 1-to-1 connection between volume_group and lvmcache_vginfo.
