Coverity here is not fully-in-picture - but please it
with validation of pointer which currently cannot be null,
since we always return at least empty string.
This option could never have been printed in lvm2 metadata, so it could
be safely removed as it could have been set only as 0.
These configurable setting is supported via metadata profile.
The recent addition to check for PVs that were
missed during the first iteration of processing
was unintentionally catching duplicate PVs because
duplicates were not removed from the all_devices
list when the primary dev was processed.
Also change a message from warn back to verbose.
If a VG is removed between the time that 'vgs'
or 'lvs' (with no args) creates the list of VGs
and the time that it reads the VG to process it,
then ignore the removed VG; don't report an error
that it could not be found, since it wasn't named
by the command.
PVs could be missing from the 'pvs' output if
their VG was removed at the same time that the
'pvs' command was run. To fix this:
1. If a VG is not found when processed, don't
silently skip the PVs in it, as is done when
the "skip" variable is set.
2. Repeat the VG search if some PVs are not
found on the first search through all VGs.
The second search uses a specific list of
PVs that were missed the first time.
testing:
/dev/sdb is a PV
/dev/sdd is a PV
/dev/sdg is not a PV
each test begins with:
vgcreate test /dev/sdb /dev/sdd
variations to test:
vgremove -f test & pvs
vgremove -f test & pvs -a
vgremove -f test & pvs /dev/sdb /dev/sdd
vgremove -f test & pvs /dev/sdg
vgremove -f test & pvs /dev/sdb /dev/sdg
The pvs command should always display /dev/sdb
and /dev/sdd, either as a part of VG test or not.
The pvs command should always print an error
indicating that /dev/sdg could not be found.
Commit 1a74171ca5 added
a check to ignore a VG that was FAILED_INCONSISTENT
if the command doesn't care if the VG is not found.
Remove that check because that case is never reached
by the current code.
The ONE_VGNAME_ARG was being passed and tested as
vg_read() flag but it's a cmd struct flag.
(It affects command arg processing in toollib,
not vg_read behavior. Flags related to command
processing are generally cmd struct flags, while
vg_read arg flags are generally related to vg_read
behavior.)
Running "vgremove -f VG & pvs" results in the pvs
command reporting that the VG is not found or is
inconsistent. If the VG is gone or being removed,
the pvs command should just skip it and not print
errors about it.
"Not found" is because the pvs command created the
list of VGs to process, including VG, then vgremove
removed the VG, then the pvs command came to to read
the VG to process it and did not find it.
An "inconsistent" error could be reported if vgremove
had only partially completed removing VG when pvs did
vg_read on the VG to process it, causing pvs to find
the VG in a partially-removed state.
This fix adds a flag that pvs uses to ignore a VG
that can't be read or is inconsistent.
Make lvm2_disable_dmeventd_monitoring() more explicit.
As memlock_inc_daemon() is also used by clvmd, which
does changes dmeventd and suspend ignore state at
some stages - make updates of these 2 variable
tied to the call of lvm2_disable_dmeventd_monitoring().
Once this call is made dmeventd monitoring
and suspended devices are ignored.
TODO: all lvm-global settings should really be moved
to command context.
CONVERTING status flag is a tricky one. It's not set when converting
a non-mirror LV type to the mirror type, i.e.: linear -> two leg mirror.
Also the conversion itself is instant and doesn't require to be polled.
When mirror reaches sync state there's no final update on VG metadata
for lvmpolld to be made thereby report_progress in fact doesn't report
percentage of mirror being converted but percentage of mirror
being in sync. Perhaps we should reword the lvconvert output here.
On the other hand CONVERTING is set while we upconvert the mirror
from i.e. two leg mirror to four leg mirror. In such case the operation
is required to be polled so that lvmpolld can cleanup temporary
conversion log when the conversion is over.
Ignore CONVERTING lv_type for the moment and match LVs only by uuids
during 'mirror conversion'/'waiting for a sync to finish'.
The old code made two loops through the PVs: in the first
loop it found the max PV and VG name lengths, and in the
second loop it printed each PV using the name lengths as
field widths for aligning columns.
The new code uses process_each_pv() which makes one loop
through the PVs. In the *first* call to pvscan_single(),
the max name lengths are found by looping through the
lvmcache entries which have been populated by the generic
process_each code prior to calling any _single functions.
Subsequent calls to pvscan_single() reuse the max lengths
that were found by the first call.
The new report/compact_output_cols setting has exactly the same effect
as report/compact_output setting. The difference is that with the new
setting it's possible to define which cols should be compacted exactly
in contrast to all cols in case of report/compact_output.
In case both compact_output and compact_output_cols is enabled/set,
the compact_output prevails.
For example:
$ lvmconfig --type full report/compact_output report/compact_output_cols
compact_output=0
compact_output_cols=""
$ lvs vg
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Meta% Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert
lvol0 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m
---
$ lvmconfig --type full report/compact_output report/compact_output_cols
compact_output=0
compact_output_cols="data_percent,metadata_percent,pool_lv,move_pv,origin"
$ lvs vg
LV VG Attr LSize Log Cpy%Sync Convert
lvol0 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m
---
$ lvmconfig --type full report/compact_output report/compact_output_cols
compact_output=1
compact_output_cols="data_percent,metadata_percent,pool_lv,move_pv,origin"
$ lvs vg
LV VG Attr LSize
lvol0 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m
If 'vgcreate --shared' finds both sanlock and dlm are running,
print a more accurate error message:
"Found multiple lock managers, select one with --lock-type."
When neither is running, we still print:
"Failed to detect a running lock manager to select lock type."
Using --lock-type sanlock|dlm implies --shared.
Using --shared selects lock type sanlock|dlm
(by choosing the one that's running.)
Using both --shared and --lock-type sanlock|dlm should
also be allowed (--shared is just redundant information.)
When user specifies '--force' with remove/remove_all/wipe_table
use '--noflush --nolockfs' resume flags, so the operation
will not block when device underneath is blocked.
Since we may want to swap names when LVs are complex types, we cannot
avoid doing full renames on both LV stacks.
Temporarily use 'pvmove_tmeta' as unused name to prevent validation troubles.
ATM allocation can't handle stripping and cache pool allocation.
It's not yet even clear what should be actually result.
Until resolved, disable this option (it's been coredumping
inside allocation anyway).
Certain stacks of cached LVs may have unexpected consequences.
So add a warning function called when LV is cached to detect
such caces and WARN user about them - the best we could do ATM.
Add a new arg to lockd_start_vg() that indicates
it is being called for a new lockd VG, so that
lvmlockd knows the lockspace being started is new.
(Will be used by a following commit.)
Commit f6473baffc introduced a new
cmd->initialized variable to keep info about which parts of the
cmd_context have been initialized.
A part of this patch was also a change in refresh_filters fn
which checks for cmd->initialized.filters variable and it does
the filter refresh *only* if the filter has already been initialized
before otherwise it's a NOOP (before, the refresh_filters also
initialized filters as a side effect in case it had not been
initialized before which was not quite correct).
However, the commit f6473baffc
did not handle the case in which configuration changes
either via --config argument or when configuration file changed
and its timestamp was higher than the timestamp of the persistent
cache file - the /etc/lvm/cache/.cache.
This patch fixes this issue and it causes the init_filters fn
in lvm_run_command fn to be called with proper value of
"load_persistent_cache" switch even if the configuration changes,
hence causing the persistent cache file to be ignored in this
case.
Replace the histogram stats subcommand with a --histogram switch
to enable histogram related fields for both list and report output.
To avoid overloading the existing --histogram rename it to --bounds:
this is also a better description of the option.
Improve the names and labels of stats reports columns, ensure that
the minimum field widths allow unambiguos labels to be shown and
update the man page descriptions of these fields.
Add support to dmstats to create and report histograms.
Add a --histogram switch to 'create' that accepts a string
description of bin boundaries and DR_STATS and DR_STATS_META fields
to report bin configuration and absolute and relative histogram
values:
hist_bins
hist_bounds
hist_ranges
hist_count
hist_count_bounds
hist_count_ranges
hist_percent
hist_percent_bounds
hist_percent_ranges
A new 'histogram' subcommand displays a report that emphasizes
histogram data as either counters or percentage values.
Add support for creating, parsing, and reporting dm-stats latency
histograms on kernels that support precise_timestamps.
Histograms are specified as a series of time values that give the
boundaries of the bins into which I/O counts accumulate (with
implicit lower and upper bounds on the first and last bins).
A new type, struct dm_histogram, is introduced to represent
histogram values and bin boundaries.
The boundary values may be given as either a string of values (with
optional unit suffixes) or as a zero terminated array of uint64_t
values expressing boundary times in nanoseconds.
A new bounds argument is added to dm_stats_create_region() which
accepts a pointer to a struct dm_histogram initialised with bounds
values.
Histogram data associated with a region is parsed during a call to
dm_stats_populate() and used to build a table of histogram values
that are pointed to from the containing area's counter set. The
histogram for a specified area may then be obtained and interogated
for values and properties.
This relies on kernel support to provide the boundary values in
a @stats_list response: this will be present in 4.3 and 4.2-stable. A
check for a minimum driver version of 4.33.0 is implemented to ensure
that this is present (4.32.0 has the necessary precise_timestamps and
histogram features but is unable to report these via @stats_list).
Access methods are provided to retrieve histogram values and bounds
as well as simple string representations of the counts and bin
boundaries. Methods are also available to return the total count
for a histogram and the relative value (as a dm_percent_t) of a
specified bin.
Remove the existing lock type using the same functions
used to remove the lockd components during vgremove.
This results in a "clean" VG and lvmlockd state after
the vgchange, i.e. no bits left over from previous
lock type.
Originally when vgdisplay encountered an exported VG it issued a
WARNING. Commit d6b1de30 replaced this with an error message
but still exited with success (incorrect). A backtrace was recently
added in commit b193809987.
As vgdisplay already states that the VG is exported in its output,
just drop these messages completely.
All cache args could be specified when caching LV
(means converting LV to cached).
When --cachemode arg is given during cache-pool conversion,
store it in the metadata.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1255184
Add support for the kernel precise_timestamps feature. This allows
regions to be created using counters with nanosecond precision.
A new dm_stats method, dm_stats_set_precise_timestamps() causes all
future regions created with this handle to attempt to enable precise
counters.
The unlock call will fail in expected and normal cases,
and should not cause the command to fail. (An actual
unlock in the lock manager should never fail.)
The timerfd guarantees that it will return 8 bytes when a read(2)
is issued (a uint64_t giving the number of timer events during the
call). Check that it does so and log a non-fatal error if the byte
count is not 8.
Commit f10ad95 introduced a regression causing the size of regions
passed in on the command line to be truncated to zero. Initialise
the 'this_len' variable to the supplied length to correct this.
Commit f10ad95 introduced a regression in the calculation of the
number of areas in a region created with the --areasize switch:
vg_hex-lv_home: Created new region with 0 area(s) as region ID 1
vg_hex-lv_swap: Created new region with 0 area(s) as region ID 1
Fis this by using the correct region size when calculating the
value.
When dmstats is run with -v or higher enable a per-area reporting
mode for statistics regions. This will output one row per area
(rather than one row per region) and adds additional fields of use
when viewing areas:
area_id - index within the region assigned by libdm-stats
area_start - the start location of the area in the containing
device.
Add a '--raw' switch to stats reports that causes us to report the
basic counter values rather than derived metrics for each visible
statistics region.
Add prefixes to all dmsetup report types to allow the 'group_all'
option to be effective:
DR_NAME name_
DR_INFO info_
DR_DEPS deps_
DR_TREE tree_
DR_NAME splitname_
When run with full verbosity dmsetup or dmstats reports will
output a figure that tracks a moving average over a window of the
last two intervals:
Interval #3 time delta: 999991087ns
Interval #3 mean duration: 999907064ns, current err: -8913ns
End interval #3 duration: 999991087ns
Adjusted sample interval duration: 999991087ns
Due to the narrow window this is a very crude estimate and is only
of use to someone debugging or modifying the stats clock: remove
the value and the global variables used to track it.
Anyone with a particular use for this information can construct a
better mean by calculating the value of a greater number of
intervals.
Unlike 'info -c' and 'stats report' the 'dmstats list' subcommand
does its own report processing. This complicates the handling of
the DR_STATS and DR_STATS_META fields and leads to inconsistent
behaviour between the different commands. In particular it causes
'stats list' to segfault when using 'all' field options:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Delete _stats_list() entirely and adapt _stats_report so that it
can correctly format a DR_STATS_META-only report request.
This requires passing the subcommand into _report_init() where it
is used in addition to the command name to select the default set
of report fields for the 'list' and 'report' stats subcommands.
With this change both 'list' and 'report' dmstats report will use
the correct report object type and ensure that it is initialised
appropriately for the field selection in use.
Although statistics and meta fields (region and area properties) share
the same object type the state of the handle they expect differs: meta
only expects a dm_stats_list() operation to have been performed whereas
statistics require a fully populated handle.
Distinguish between these requirements by separating the fields into
two distinct report types:
DR_STATS = 32,
DR_STATS_META = 64
The new category is described as "Mapped Device Statistics Region
Information" in the help text.
Make the use of the this_start and this_len variables easier to
follow and clarify the use of zero start and len arguments to
request a whole-device region.
Add a pair of fields to expose the current per-interval duation
estimate. The 'interval' field provides a real value in units of
seconds and the 'interval_ns' field provides the same quantity
expressed as a whole number of nanoseconds.
Introduce enums and global variables to record cleanly which command we
are processing and eliminate the historically inconsistent use of the
shifted argv[0] and fix assorted bugs discovered along the way.
Add dm_report_is_empty() to indicate there is no data awaiting output
and use this to suppress dmsetup report headings when no data is output
so we don't get a stray line saying 'Help' at the end of reporting help.
Define a report type (as the interface requires) so -o all selects
the right fields in splitname. (A fix for stats list will follow.)
Exit immediately if no device is supplied to dmsetup wipe_table instead
of hitting errors later and failing.
Adjust the command name printed in usage/help output to match command
invoked (most of the time).
The '--force' switch is only used by dmstats to allow either
creation or deletion of one or more regions on all devices.
These operations do not carry any risk: just a possible mess of
region IDs to be cleaned up.
Remove the use of '--force' for stats commands and change current
uses to a new '--alldevices' switch.
The region creation message just outputs the new region_id, e.g.:
Created region: 0
This is fine when the device is unambigous (as above) but produces
unhelpful output when creating multiple regions, or regions on
multiple devices:
Created region: 0
Created region: 0
Created region: 1
Created region: 2
Created region: 0
To address this refactor _stats_create_segments() (previously only
used when creating one-region-per-target for --segments) into a
more general _do_stats_create_regions() that can create regions
for each segment, or a single region spanning either the entire
device or a specied start/len range.
This allows us to output all region creation messages from a
single point where both the device name and all information needed
to derive the number of areas is available.
This allows us to log all these facts in the resulting messages:
vg_hex-lv_home: Created new region with 13 area(s) as region ID 0
vg_hex-lv_home: Created new region with 4 area(s) as region ID 1
vg_hex-lv_home: Created new region with 1 area(s) as region ID 2
vg_hex-lv_swap: Created new region with 1 area(s) as region ID 0
vg_hex-lv_root: Created new region with 10 area(s) as region ID 0
luks-79733921-3f68-4c92-9eb7-d0aca4c6ba3e: Created new region with 17 area(s) as region ID 0
vg_hex-lv_images: Created new region with 20 area(s) as region ID 0
vg_hex-lv_images: Created new region with 4 area(s) as region ID 1
Don't use cryptic abbreviations and make sure that all values can
be understood by someone not familiar with the clock internals.
Include the current interval number (inverse of the _count) in all
interval update messages and attempt to align interval timestamp
logs for interval counts < 99,999.
If _stats_report fails (e.g. due to an invalid device on the
command line) destroy the _report to prevent stats columns headings
from being displayed.
This also requires a change in main to test the return from
_perform_command_for_all_repeatable_args inside the interval loop
and exit immediately in case of error.
The _update_interval_times() function is called once per reported
object: when shutting down at the end of a run only the first call
should free timestamps. Clear the timestamp pointers after free
and use this to signal to other callers that the clock is already
shut down.
If the Linux timerfd interface to POSIX timers is available at compile
time use it for all report interval timekeeping. This gives more
accurate interval timing when the per-interval processing time is less
than the configured interval and simplifies the timestamp bookkeeping
required to keep accurate time.
For systems without timerfd support fall back to the simple usleep based
timer.
Change logic and naming of some internal API functions.
cache_set_mode() and cache_set_policy() both take segment.
cache mode is now correctly 'masked-in'.
If the passed segment is 'cache' segment - it will automatically
try to find 'defaults' according to profiles if the are NOT
specified on command line or they are NOT already set for cache-pool.
These defaults are never set for cache-pool.
Add new profilable configurables:
allocation/cache_policy
allocation/cache_settings
and mark allocation/cache_pool_chunk_size as profilable as well.
Obsolete allocation/cache_pool_cachemode and
introduce new allocation/cache_mode instead.
Rename DEFAULT_CACHE_POOL_POLICY to DEFAULT_CACHE_POLICY.
Request a transient LV lock from lvmlockd when
converting an LV. If the LV is inactive when
lvconvert is run, the LV lock will be acquired
and then released when the command is done.
If the LV is active, a persistent lock exists
already and the transient lock request does nothing.
This fixes the issue that had been mentioned in the
comment previously.
The error path of _stats_list frees the task and stats objects:
don't try to branch to it before they have been allocated.
tools/dmsetup.c: 4589 in _stats_help() - Null pointer dereferences (FORWARD_NULL)
There's no point testing _report here in _stats_report: it's always
initialised before the function is called and if the check did fail
we'd end up freeing an uninitialized dm_task in the error path.
tools/dmsetup.c: 4389 in _stats_report() - Declaring variable "dmt" without initializer.
Add the libdm-stats module to libdm: this implements a simple interface
for creating, managing and interrogating I/O statistics regions and
areas on device-mapper devices.
The library interface is documented in libdevmapper.h and provides a
'dm_stats' handle that is used to perform statistics operations and
obtain data.
Public methods are provided to create and destroy handles and to list,
create, and destroy statistics regions as well as to obtain and parse
counter data and calculate rate-based metrics.
This commit also adds a 'dmsetup stats' (aka 'dmstats') command with
'clear', 'create', 'delete', 'list', 'print', and 'report' sub-commands.
See the library documentation and the dmstats.8 manual page for detailed
API and command descriptions.
Don't do interval management and external timekeeping for stats in
dm_report: let applications handle this on their own.
Since this has not been included in a release remove it from the
library entirely and handle report timing directly inside dmsetup.
Add a function to print column headings regardless of whether they
have already been output. This will be used by dmstats to issue
periodic reminders of the column headings.
This patch removes a check for RH_HEADINGS_PRINTED from
_report_headings that prevents headings being displayed if the flag
is already set; this check is redundant since the only existing
caller (_output_as_columns()) already tests the flag before
calling the function.
tools/polldaemon.c:465: uninit_use_in_call: Using uninitialized value "id.vg_name" when calling "print_log".
tools/polldaemon.c:465: uninit_use_in_call: Using uninitialized value "id.lv_name" when calling "print_log".
No commands set has_subcommands yet.
Move multiple device loop to separate function because we'll
soon want to call it repeatedly.
(Based on patch from bmr.)
When a command is flagged with NO_METADATA_PROCESSING flag, it means
such command does not process any metadata and hence it doens't require
lvmetad, lvmpolld and it can get away with no locking too. These are
mostly simple commands (like lvmconfig/dumpconfig, version, types,
segtypes and other builtin commands that do not process metadata
in any way).
At first, when lvm command is executed, create toolcontext without
initializing connections (lvmetad,lvmpolld) and without initializing
filters (which depend on connections init). Instead, delay this
initialization until we know we need this. That is, until the
lvm_run_command fn is called in which we know what the actual
command to run is and hence we can avoid any connection, filter
or locking initiliazation for commands that would not make use
of it anyway.
For all the other create_toolcontext calls, we keep the original
behaviour - the filters and connections are initialized together
with the toolcontext.
Make it possible to decide whether we want to initialize connections and
filters together with toolcontext creation.
Add "filters" and "connections" fields to struct
cmd_context_initialized_parts and set these in cmd_context.initialized
instance accordingly.
(For now, all create_toolcontext calls do initialize connections and
filters, we'll change that in subsequent patch appropriately.)
Add struct cmd_context_initialized_parts to wrap up information
about which cmd context pieces are initialized and add variable
of this struct type into struct cmd_context.
Also, move existing "config_initialized" variable that was directly
part of cmd_context into the new cmd_context.initialized wrapper.
We'll be adding more items into the struct cmd_context_initialized_parts
with subsequent patches...
Stop removing hyphens when = is seen. With an option
like --profile=thin-performance, the hyphen removal
will stop at = and will not remove - after thin.
Stop removing hyphens altogether when a stand alone arg
of -- appears.
. the poll check will eventually call finish which will
write the VG, so an ex VG lock is needed from lvmlockd.
. fix missing unlock on poll error path
. remove the lockd locking while monitoring the progress
of the command, as suggested by the earlier FIXME comment,
as it's not needed.
Recent change to move the polling outside of core lvconvert
code was wrongly using 'lv' and 'vg' structs which can't be
used outside of the core code, which caused seg fault.
Properly isolate all use of lv structs within the core of
the lvconvert code, saving any information necessary,
(esp lvid). After the core of lvconvert is done, use
the saved information to do polling.
FIXME: the need for is_merging_origin and is_merging_origin_thin
in this patch is ugly, and a cleaner way should be found to deal
with that than what is done here.
Also it effectively removed all hacks in _lvconvert_merge_single
performing ugly: VG reread, unlock, polling, lock sequence.
Moreover all polling operations are postponed after all conversions
are finished.
lvm2 (while locking via lvmlockd) should now be able to run with
or without lvmpolld while performing poll operations originating
in lvconvert command.

The vgchange/lvchange activation commands read the VG, and
don't write it, so they acquire a shared VG lock from lvmlockd.
When other commands fail to acquire a shared VG lock from
lvmlockd, a warning is printed and they continue without it.
(Without it, the VG metadata they display from lvmetad may
not be up to date.)
vgchange/lvchange -a shouldn't continue without the shared
lock for a couple reasons:
. Usually they will just continue on and fail to acquire the
LV locks for activation, so continuing is pointless.
. More importantly, without the sh VG lock, the VG metadata
used by the command may be stale, and the LV locks shown
in the VG metadata may no longer be current. In the
case of sanlock, this would result in odd, unpredictable
errors when lvmlockd doesn't find the expected lock on
disk. In the case of dlm, the invalid LV lock could be
granted for the non-existing LV.
The solution is to not continue after the shared lock fails,
in the same way that a command fails if an exclusive lock fails.
When lvm is built without lvmlockd support, vgcreate using a
shared lock type would succeed and create a local VG (the
--shared option was effectively ignored). Make it fail.
Fix the same issue when using vgchange to change a VG to a
shared lock type.
Make the error messages consistent.
Keep policy name separate from policy settings and avoid
to mangling and demangling this string from same config tree.
Ensure policy_name is always defined.
Both lock_start filters were being skipped when any lock-opt
values were used. The "auto" lock-opt should cause the
auto_lock_start_list to be used. The lock_start_list should
always be used.
The behavior of lock_start_list/auto_lock_start_list are tested
and verified to behave like volume_list/auto_activation_volume_list.
Since the default was changed to wait for lock-start to finish,
the "wait" and "autowait" lock-opt values are not needed, but a
new "autonowait" is added to the existing "nowait" avoid the
default waiting.
There are two different failure conditions detected in
access_vg_lock_type() that should have different error
messages. This adds another failure flag so the two
cases can be distinguished to avoid printing a misleading
error message.
Require global/{thin,cache}_{check,repair}_options to be always defined.
If not defined directly by user in the configuration and if there's no
concrete default option to use, make "" (empty string) the default one -
it's then clearly visible in the "lvmconfig --type default" (and
generated lvm.conf) and also it makes its handling in the code more
straightforward so we don't need to handle undefined values.
This means, if there are no default values for these settings defined,
we end up with this generated now:
{thin,cache}_{check,repair}_options = [ "" ]
So the value is never undefined and if it is, it's an error.
(The cache_repair_options is actually not used in the code at the moment,
but once the code using this setting is in, it will follow the same logic
as used for thin_repair_options.)
The "exported" state of the VG can be useful with lockd VGs
because the exported state keeps a VG from being used in general.
It's a way to keep a VG protected and out of the way.
Also fix the command flags: ALL_VGS_IS_DEFAULT is not true for
vgimport/vgexport, since they both return errors immediately if
no VG args are specified. LOCKD_VG_SH is not true for vgexport
beause it must use an ex lock to write the VG.
When --nolocking is used (by vgs, lvs, pvs):
. don't use lvmlockd at all (set use_lvmlockd to 0)
. allow lockd VGs to be read
When --readonly is used (by vgs, lvs, pvs, vgdisplay, lvdisplay,
pvdisplay, lvmdiskscan, lvscan, pvscan, vgcfgbackup):
. skip actual lvmlockd locking calls
. allow lockd VGs to be read
. check that only shared gl/vg locks are being requested
(even though the actually locking is being skipped)
. check that no LV locks are requested, because no LVs
should be activated or used in readonly mode
. disable using lvmetad so VGs are read from disk
It is important to note the limited commands that accept
the --nolocking and --readonly options, i.e. no commands
that change/write a VG or change/activate LVs accept these
options, only commands that read VGs.
A new lockd lock needs to be created for the new LV
created by split mirror and split snapshot. Disallow
these options in lockd VGs until that is implemented.
