New tools with PV header extension support will read the extension
if it exists and it's not an error if it does not exist (so old PVs
will still work seamlessly with new tools).
Old tools without PV header extension support will just ignore any
extension.
As for the Embedding Area location information (its start and size),
there are actually two places where this is stored:
- PV header extension
- VG metadata
The VG metadata contains a copy of what's written in the PV header
extension about the Embedding Area location (NULL value is not copied):
physical_volumes {
pv0 {
id = "AkSSRf-difg-fCCZ-NjAN-qP49-1zzg-S0Fd4T"
device = "/dev/sda" # Hint only
status = ["ALLOCATABLE"]
flags = []
dev_size = 262144 # 128 Megabytes
pe_start = 67584
pe_count = 23 # 92 Megabytes
ea_start = 2048
ea_size = 65536 # 32 Megabytes
}
}
The new metadata fields are "ea_start" and "ea_size".
This is mostly useful when restoring the PV by using existing
metadata backups (e.g. pvcreate --restorefile ...).
New tools does not require these two fields to exist in VG metadata,
they're not compulsory. Therefore, reading old VG metadata which doesn't
contain any Embedding Area information will not end up with any kind
of error but only a debug message that the ea_start and ea_size values
were not found.
Old tools just ignore these extra fields in VG metadata.
PV header extension comes just beyond the existing PV header base:
PV header base (existing):
- uuid
- device size
- null-terminated list of Data Areas
- null-terminater list of MetaData Areas
PV header extension:
- extension version
- flags
- null-terminated list of Embedding Areas
This patch also adds "eas" (Embedding Areas) list to lvmcache (lvmcache_info)
and it also adds support for common operations on the list (just like for
already existing "das" - Data Areas list):
- lvmcache_add_ea
- lvmcache_update_eas
- lvmcache_foreach_ea
- lvmcache_del_eas
Also, add ea_start and ea_size to struct physical_volume for processing
PV Embedding Area location throughout the code (currently only one
Embedding Area is supported, though the definition on disk allows for
more if needed in the future...).
Also, define FMT_EAS format flag to mark that the format actually
supports Embedding Areas (currently format-text only).
fmt1 doesn't have a separate commit function: updates take effect
immediately vg_write is called, so we must update lvmetad at this
point if we're going to go on and ask lvmetad for the VG metadata
again before calling the commit function (though that's probably an
unsupported and pointless thing to do anyway as the client must
already have that data and it cannot have changed because it's locked
and with devs suspended we shouldn't be communicating with lvmetad;
so when that's fixed properly, this fix here can be reverted).
This problem showed up as an internal error when lvremoving an LVM1
snapshot.
> Internal error: LV snap1 (00000000000000000000000000000001) missing from preload metadata
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/891855
Rename lvmetad_warning() to lvmetad_connect_or_warn().
Log all connection attempts on the client side, whether successful or not.
Reduce some nesting and remove a redundant assertion.
Calling pvscan --cache with -aay on a PV without an MDA would spuriously fail
with an internal error, because of an incorrect assumption that a parsed VG
structure was always available. This is not true and the autoactivation handler
needs to call vg_read to obtain metadata in cases where the PV had no MDAs to
parse. Therefore, we pass vgid into the handler instead of the (possibly NULL)
VG coming from the PV's MDA.
We were using daemon_send_simple until now, but it is no longer adequate, since
we need to manipulate requests in a generic way (adding a validity token to each
request), and the tree-based request interface is much more suitable for this.
Accept -q as the short form of --quiet.
Suppress non-essential standard output if -q is given twice.
Treat log/silent in lvm.conf as equivalent to -qq.
Review all log_print messages and change some to
log_print_unless_silent.
When silent, the following commands still produce output:
dumpconfig, lvdisplay, lvmdiskscan, lvs, pvck, pvdisplay,
pvs, version, vgcfgrestore -l, vgdisplay, vgs.
[Needs checking.]
Non-essential messages are shifted from log level 4 to log level 5
for syslog and lvm2_log_fn purposes.
Adding couple INTERNAL_ERROR reports for unwanted parameters:
Ensure the 'top' metadata node cannot be NULL for lvmetad.
Make obvious vginfo2 cannot be NULL.
Report internal error if handler and vg is undefined.
Check for handle in poll_vg().
Ensure seg is not NULL in dev_manager_transient().
Report missing read_ahead for _lv_read_ahead_single().
Check for report handler in dm_report_object().
Check missing VG in _vgreduce_single().
Define an 'activation_handler' that gets called automatically on
PV appearance/disappearance while processing the lvmetad_pv_found
and lvmetad_pv_gone functions that are supposed to update the
lvmetad state based on PV availability state. For now, the actual
support is for PV appearance only, leaving room for PV disappearance
support as well (which is a more complex problem to solve as this
needs to count with possible device stack).
Add a new activation change mode - CHANGE_AAY exposed as
'--activate ay/-aay' argument ('activate automatically').
Factor out the vgchange activation functionality for use in other
tools (like pvscan...).
