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.
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.
There are at least a couple instances where
the lock_args check does not work correctly,
(listed in the comment), so disable the
NULL check for lock_args until those are
resolved.
In process_each_{vg,lv,pv} when no vgname args are given,
the first step is to get a list of all vgid/vgname on the
system. This is exactly what lvmetad returns from a
vg_list request. The current code is doing a vg_lookup
on each VG after the vg_list and populating lvmcache with
the info for each VG. These preliminary vg_lookup's are
unnecessary, because they will be done again when the
processing functions call vg_read. This patch eliminates
the initial round of vg_lookup's, which can roughly cut in
half the number of lvmetad requests and save a lot of extra work.
Do not keep dangling LVs if they're removed from the vg->lvs list and
move them to vg->removed_lvs instead (this is actually similar to already
existing vg->removed_pvs list, just it's for LVs now).
Once we have this vg->removed_lvs list indexed so it's possible to
do lookups for LVs quickly, we can remove the LV_REMOVED flag as
that one won't be needed anymore - instead of checking the flag,
we can directly check the vg->removed_lvs list if the LV is present
there or not and to say if the LV is removed or not then. For now,
we don't have this index, but it may be implemented in the future.
Refactor the recent metadata-reading optimisation patches.
Remove the recently-added cache fields from struct labeller
and struct format_instance.
Instead, introduce struct lvmcache_vgsummary to wrap the VG information
that lvmcache holds and add the metadata size and checksum to it.
Allow this VG summary information to be looked up by metadata size +
checksum. Adjust the debug log messages to make it clear when this
shortcut has been successful.
(This changes the optimisation slightly, and might be extendable
further.)
Add struct cached_vg_fmtdata to format-specific vg_read calls to
preserve state alongside the VG across separate calls and indicate
if the details supplied match, avoiding the need to read and
process the VG metadata again.
Since we take a lock inside vg_lock_newname() and we do a full
detection of presence of vgname inside all scanned labels,
there is no point to do this for second time to be sure
there is no such vg.
The only side-effect of such call would be a full validation of
some already exising VG metadata - but that's not the task for
vgcreate when create a new VG.
This call noticable reduces number of scans during 'vgcreate'.
When reading VG mda from multiple PVs - do all the validation only
when mda is seen for the first time and when mda checksum and length
is same just return already existing VG pointer.
(i.e. using 300PVs for a VG would lead to create and destroy 300 config trees....)
Previous versions of lvm will not obey the restrictions
imposed by the new system_id, and would allow such a VG
to be written. So, a VG with a new system_id is further
changed to force previous lvm versions to treat it as
read-only. This is done by removing the WRITE flag from
the metadata status line of these VGs, and putting a new
WRITE_LOCKED flag in the flags line of the metadata.
Versions of lvm that recognize WRITE_LOCKED, also obey the
new system_id. For these lvm versions, WRITE_LOCKED is
identical to WRITE, and the rules associated with matching
system_id's are imposed.
A new VG lock_type field is also added that causes the same
WRITE/WRITE_LOCKED transformation when set. A previous
version of lvm will also see a VG with lock_type as read-only.
Versions of lvm that recognize WRITE_LOCKED, must also obey
the lock_type setting. Until the lock_type feature is added,
lvm will fail to read any VG with lock_type set and report an
error about an unsupported lock_type. Once the lock_type
feature is added, lvm will allow VGs with lock_type to be
used according to the rules imposed by the lock_type.
When both system_id and lock_type settings are removed, a VG
is written with the old WRITE status flag, and without the
new WRITE_LOCKED flag. This allows old versions of lvm to
use the VG as before.
In log messages refer to it as system ID (not System ID).
Do not put quotes around the system_id string when printing.
On the command line use systemid.
In code, metadata, and config files use system_id.
In lvmsystemid refer to the concept/entity as system_id.
The only realistic way for a host to have active LVs in a
foreign VG is if the host's system_id (or system_id_source)
is changed while LVs are active.
In this case, the active LVs produce an warning, and access
to the VG is implicitly allowed (without requiring --foreign.)
This allows the active LVs to be deactivated.
In this case, rescanning PVs for the VG offers no benefit.
It is not possible that rescanning would reveal an LV that
is active but wasn't previously in the VG metadata.
A foreign VG should be silently ignored by a reporting/display
command like 'vgs'. If the reporting/display command specifies
a foreign VG by name on the command line, it should produce an
error message.
Scanning commands pvscan/vgscan/lvscan are always allowed to
read and update caches from all PVs, including those that belong
to foreign VGs.
Other non-report/display/scan commands always ignore a foreign
VG, or report an error if they attempt to use a foreign VG.
vgimport should always invalidate the lvmetad cache because
lvmetad likely holds a pre-vgexported copy of the VG.
(This is unrelated to using foreign VGs; the pre-vgexported
VG may have had no system_id at all.)
When checking whether the system ID permits access to a VG, check for
each permitted situation first, and only then issue the appropriate
error message. Always issue a message for now. (We'll try to
suppress some of those later when the VG concerned wasn't explicitly
requested.)
Add more messages to try to ensure every return code is checked and
every error path (and only an error path) contains a log_error().
Add self-correction to vgchange -c to deal with situations where
the cluster state and system ID state are out-of-sync (e.g. if
old tools were used).
Move the lvm1 sys ID into vg->lvm1_system_id and reenable the #if 0
LVM1 code. Still display the new-style system ID in the same
reporting field, though, as only one can be set.
Add a format feature flag FMT_SYSTEM_ON_PVS for LVM1 and disallow
access to LVM1 VGs if a new-style system ID has been set.
Treat the new vg->system_id as const.
The dev ext source must be reset for the dev_cache_get call
(which evaluates filters), not lvmcache_label_scan - so fix
original commit 727c7ff85d.
Also, add comments in _pvcreate_check fn explaining why
refresh filter and rescan is needed and exactly in which
situations.
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.)
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".
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 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.
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.]
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.
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.
