Fix parsing of 'Fail' status (using capital letter) for thin-pool.
Add also parsing of 'Error' state for thin-pool.
Add needs_check test for thin-pool.
Detect Fail state for thin.
In lookup, return a count of entries with the
same key rather than the value from a second
entry with the same key.
Using some slightly different names.
If the data len is passed into the hash table
and saved there, then the hash table internals
do not need to assume that the data value is
a string at any point.
New hash table functions are added that allow for
multiple entries with the same key. Use of the
vgname_to_vgid hash table is converted to these
new functions since there are multiple entries
in vgname_to_vgid that have the same key (vgname).
When multiple VGs with the same name exist, commands
that reference only a VG name will fail saying the
VG could not be found (that error message could be
improved.) Any command that works with the select
option can access one of the VGs with -S vg_uuid=X.
vgrename is a special case that allows the first VG
name arg to be replaced by a uuid, which also works.
(The existing hash table implementation is not well
suited for handling this case, but it works ok with
the new extensions. Changing lvmetad to use its own
custom hash tables may be preferable at some point.)
Add more functionality to size_changed function.
While 'existing' API only detected 0 for
unchanged, and !0 for changed,
new improved API will also detected if the
size has only went bigger - or there was
size reduction.
Function work for the whole dm-tree - so
no change is size is always 0.
only size extension 1.
and if some size reduction is there - returns -1.
This result can be used for better evaluation
whether we need to flush before suspend.
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
dm_report_compact_given_fields is the same as dm_report_compact_fields,
but it processes only given fields, not all the fields in the report
like dm_report_compact_field does.
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.
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.
Add a function to test whether the kernel precise_timestamps
feature is available in the current device-mapper driver version.
Presence of precise_timestamps also implies the availability of
latency histograms.
Several interfaced in libdm-stats return a uint64_t when it is
only used to signal success/failure: change all these uses to
return a simple int instead.
Add a method to retrieve the offset of an area within the
containing region (rather than the offset within the containing
device returned by dm_stats_get_area_start()).
Although users of the library can calculate this themselves it is
better to provide this through a method call to avoid users making
assumptions about the structure of regions and areas.
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).
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.
Moved out from lib/display and a little documentation added.
It's tuned to LVM's requirements historically and its behaviour
might not always be what you would expect.
Move the DEBUG_MEM decision inside libdevmapper.so instead of exposing
it in libdevmapper.h which causes failures if the binary and library
were compiled with opposite debugging settings.
With fuzzy names we mean the names for which it's hard or even impossible
to enumerate all possible variations of the name - the name needs to
be evaluated. An example of fuzzy name is a name which has a base
(substring) which matches and it can contain arbitrary variations
around this base. We can cover human language better with fuzzy
names as people may use several different names (or sentences) to
denote the same thing.
With dynamic values we mean the values which are not constants
and they need to be evaluated in runtime. An example of dynamic
value is a value which depends on current system state (e.g. time,
current configuration or any other state which may change and it
needs runtime evaluation).
There's a handler that can be registered with reporting/selection
using dm_report_reserved_handler instance. This is a central point
in which the computation/evaluation happens when processing reserved
values. Currently, there are two actions declared:
DM_REPORT_RESERVED_PARSE_FUZZY_NAME
(translates fuzzy name into canonical name)
DM_REPORT_RESERVED_GET_DYNAMIC_VALUE
(gets value for canonical name)
The handler is then registered as value in struct
dm_report_reserved_value (see explaining comments besided
the struct dm_report_reserved_value in libdevmapper.h).
Also, this patch provides support for simple caching of values
used during report/selection via dm_report_value_cache_{set,get}.
This is supposed to be used mainly in the dm_report_reserved_handler
instances to save values among calls so all the handler calls work
with the same base value used in computation/evaluation and/or
possibly to save resources if the evaluation is more time-consuming.
The cache is attached to the dm_report handle and so the cache is
dropped one dm_report is dropped.
This patch adds support for time values used in reporting fields.
The raw values are always stored as number of seconds since epoch.
The support that comes with this patch is the basic one which allows
only for recognition of strictly formatted date and time in selection
criteria (the format follows a subset of formats defined by ISO 8601):
date time timezone
date:
YYYY-MM-DD (or shortly YYYYMMDD)
YYYY-MM (shortly YYYYMM), auto DD=1
YYYY, auto MM=01 and DD=01
time:
hh:mm:ss (or shortly hhmmss)
hh:mm (or shortly hhmm), auto ss=0
hh (or shortly hh), auto mm=0, auto ss=0
timezone (always with + or - sign):
+hh:mm or -hh:mm (or shortly +hhmm or -hhmm)
+hh or -hh
Or directly the time (number of seconds) since Epoch (1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC)
when the number value is prefixed by "@":
@number_of_seconds_since_epoch
This patch also adds aliases for comparison operators
used together with time values which are more intuitive
to use:
since (as alias for >=)
after (as alias for >)
until (as alias for <=)
before (as alias for <)
For example:
$ lvmconfig --type full report/time_format
time_format="%Y-%m-%d %T %z %Z [%s]"
$ lvs -o name,time vg
LV Time
lvol0 2015-06-28 21:25:41 +0200 CEST [1435519541]

This is basic time recognition support that is directly a part of
libdevmapper. Recognition of more free-form expressions will be a
part of subsequent patches.
This patch allows for registration and recognition of reserved
values which are ranges, so they're composed of two values actually
to denote the lower and upper bound for the range (stored as an array
with exactly two items to define the boundaries).
Also, this patch allows for flagging reserved values as named-only
which means that such values are not strictly reserved. The strictly
reserved values are reserved values as used before this patch.
Distinction between strictly-reserved and named-only values
is clearly visible with comparisons. Normally, strictly reserved
value is not accounted for if we do "greater than" or "lower than"
comparisons, for example:
1 2 3 ....
|
abc
- we have "abc" as reserved value for field with value "2"
- the value reported for the field is "abc" (or "2", it doesn't matter here)
- the selection we're processing is -S 'field < abc'
- the result of the selection gives nothing as "abc" is strictly
reserved value (bound to "2") and there's no order defined for
it and it would only match if we directly compared the value
(so -S 'field = abc' would match)
With named-only values, the "abc" is named-only value for "2",
so selection -S 'field < abc" is the same as using -S 'field < 2'.
The "abc" is just an alias for some value so the value or its
assigned name can be used equally in selection criteria.
There are two basic groups of formatting flags (32 bits):
- common ones applicable for all config value types (lower 16 bits)
- type-related formatting flags (higher 16 bits)
With this patch, we initially support four new flags that
modify the the way the config value is displayed:
Common flags:
=============
DM_CONFIG_VALUE_FMT_COMMON_ARRAY - causes array config values
to be enclosed in "[ ]" even if there's only one item
(previously, there was no way to recognize an array with one
item and scalar value, hence array values with one member
were always displayed without "[ ]" which libdm accepted
when reading, but it may have been misleading for users)
DM_CONFIG_VALUE_FMT_COMMON_EXTRA_SPACE - causes extra spaces to
be inserted in "key = value" (or key = [ value, value, ... ] in
case of arrays), compared to "key=value" seen on output before.
This makes the output more readable for users.
Type-related flags:
===================
DM_CONFIG_VALUE_FMT_INT_OCTAL - prints integers in octal form with
"0" as a prefix (libdm's config reading code can handle this via
strtol just fine so it's properly recognized as number in octal
form already if there's "0" used as prefix)
DM_CONFIG_VALUE_FMT_STRING_NO_QUOTES - makes it possible to print
strings without enclosing " "
This patch also adds dm_config_value_set_format_flags and
dm_config_value_get_format_flags functions to set and get
these formatting flags.
There are reports of unexplained ioctl failures when using dmeventd.
An explanation might be that the wrong value of errno is being used.
Change libdevmapper to store an errno set by from dm ioctl() directly
and provide it to the caller through a new dm_task_get_errno() function.
[Replaced f9510548667754d9209b232348ccd2d806c0f1d8]
Introduce new implmentation of dm_task_get_info() function
with support for reading internal_suspend.
.
This time it is done in a 'versioned' way.
We keep the old fashion dm_task_get_info(Base) to implement
the old behavior of 1.02.95 libdm code.
libdm version 1.02.96 introduced 'macro' wrapper
dm_task_get_info_with_deferred_remove with new implementation
of dm_task_get_info() - we cannot do anything else then to
provide compatible version of this symbol.
Now in version 1.02.97 we add new versioned implementation of
dm_task_get_info(DM_1_02_97) symbol.
This has the effect that i.e. rpm build will finaly resolve proper
dependency on a new symbol - so it will be no longer possible,
to build a new binary and use old library
(rpm -q --provides will show libdevmapper.so.1.02(DM_1_02_97)(64bit))
Also the history is now tracked. If a new function is added (or
reimplemented), it needs to be placed in proper file,
so it could be exported with right versioning symbol.
File .exported_symbols.Base should and any existing older DM
should be treated as read-only after a release.
Also - only libdm has been currently enhanced with versioned .Base
file, as soon as other libs (liblvm, libdevmapper-event) needs changes
they should also get their exported symbol files - meanwhile
make.tmpl handles both cases.
The new dm_report_object_is_selected fn makes it possible to opt whether the
object reported should be displayed on output or not. Also, in addition to
that, it makes it possible to save the result of selection (either 0 or 1).
So dm_report_object_is_selected is simply more general form of object
reporting fn - combinations now allow for:
dm_report_object_is_selected(rh, object, 1, NULL):
This is exactly the original dm_report_object fn and it's fully equal
to it.
dm_report_object_is_selected(rh, object, 0, selected):
Do not display the result on output, but save info whether the object
is selected or not in 'selected' variable.
dm_report_object_is_selected(rh, object, 1, selected):
Display the result on output (if it passes selection criteria) and save
whether the object is selected or not in 'selected' variable.
dm_report_object(rh, object, 0, NULL):
This combination is not allowed - it will end up with internal error.
We're either interested in selection status or we want to display the
result on output or both, but never nothing of the two.
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.)
API for seg reporting is breaking internal lvm coding - it cannot
use vgmem mem pool for allocation of reported value.
So use separate pool instead of 'vgmem' for non vg related allocations
Add consts for many function params - but still many other are left
for now as non-const - needs deeper level of change even on libdm side.
Add new dm_report_compact_fields function to cause report outout
(dm_report_output) to ignore fields which don't have any value set
in any of the rows reported. This provides support for compact report
output where only fields which have something to report are displayed.
The dm_report_set_output_selection was not implemented in the end -
we have dm_report_init_with_selection instead. This is just a remnant
from development code that got into libdevmapper.h by mistake.
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
}
Support new PASSTHROUGH 'feature' flag.
Add dm_config_node to pass in policy args.
Really use origin_uuid instead of using extra call
to pass seg_areas.
Switch to 64bit feature flag bit set so there is
enough space in future for new bits...
This patch adds a new flag --deferred to dmsetup remove. If this flag is
specified and the device is open, it is scheduled to be deleted on
close.
struct dm_info is extended.
The existing dm_task_get_info() is converted into a wrapper around the
new version dm_task_get_info_with_deferred_remove() so existing binaries
can still use the old smaller structure.
Recompiled code will pick up the new larger structure.
From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com>
2.02.106 added suffixes to some LV uuids in the kernel.
If any of these LVs is activated with 2.02.105 or earlier,
and then a later version is used, the LVs appear invisible and
activation commands fail.
The code now has to check the kernel for both old and new uuids.
In contrast to per-type reserved values that are applied for all fields
of that type, per-field reserved values are only applied for concrete
field only.
Also add 'struct dm_report_field_reserved_value' to libdm for per-field
reserved value definition. This is defined by field number (an index
in the 'fields' array which is given for the dm_report_init_with_selection
function during report initialization) and the value to use for any
of the specified reserved names.
We have "help" and "?" defined as implicit fields now. As such, we
don't need to export these names in libdevmapper (as it was introduced
by commit 7c86131233 within this release).
If anyone uses these field names by mistake, the libdevmapper code can
error out correctly if it detects that the set of explicit field names
(the ones supplied by "fields" arg in dm_report_init/dm_report_init_with_selection)
contains any of the implicit field names (the ones defined internally
by libdevmapper itself).
Make dm_report_init_with_selection to accept an argument with an
array of reserved values where each element contains a triple:
{dm report field type, reserved value, array of strings representing this value}
When the selection is parsed, we always check whether a string
representation of some reserved value is not hit and if it is,
we use the reserved value assigned for this string instead of
trying to parse it as a value of certain field type.
This makes it possible to define selections like:
... --select lv_major=undefined (or -1 or unknown or undef or whatever string representations are registered for this reserved value in the future)
... --select lv_read_ahead=auto
... --select vg_mda_copies=unmanaged
With this, each time the field value of certain type is hit
and when we compare it with the selection, we use the proper
value for comparison.
For now, register these reserved values that are used at the moment
(also more descriptive names are used for the values):
const uint64_t _reserved_number_undef_64 = UINT64_MAX;
const uint64_t _reserved_number_unmanaged_64 = UINT64_MAX - 1;
const uint64_t _reserved_size_auto_64 = UINT64_MAX;
{
{DM_REPORT_FIELD_TYPE_NUMBER, _reserved_number_undef_64, {"-1", "undefined", "undef", "unknown", NULL}},
{DM_REPORT_FIELD_TYPE_NUMBER, _reserved_number_unmanaged_64, {"unmanaged", NULL}},
{DM_REPORT_FIELD_TYPE_SIZE, _reserved_size_auto_64, {"auto", NULL}},
NULL
}
Same reserved value of different field types do not collide.
All arrays are null-terminated.
The list of reserved values is automatically displayed within
selection help output:
Selection operands
------------------
...
Reserved values
---------------
-1, undefined, undef, unknown - Reserved value for undefined numeric value. [number]
unmanaged - Reserved value for unmanaged number of metadata copies in VG. [number]
auto - Reserved value for size that is automatically calculated. [size]
Selection operators
-------------------
...
The {pv,vg,lv,seg}_tags and lv_modules fields are reported as string
lists using the new dm_report_field_string_list - so we just pass
the list to the fn that takes care of reporting and item sorting itself.
Add a separate dm_report_field_string_list fn to libdevmapper to
support reporting string lists. Before, the code used libdevmappers's
dm_report_field_string fn which required formatting the list to a
single string. This functionality is now moved to libdevmapper
and the code that needs to report the string list just needs
to pass the list itself and libdevmapper will take care of this.
This also enhances code reuse.
The dm_report_field_string_list also accepts an argument to define
custom delimiter to use. If not defined, a default "," (comma) is
used as item delimiter in the string list reported.
The dm_report_field_string_list automatically sorts the items in
the list before formatting it to a final string. It also encodes
the position and length within the final string where each element
can be found. This can be used to support checking against each
list item reported since since when formatted as a single string
for the actual report, we would lose this information otherwise
(we don't want to copy each item, the position and length within
the final string is enough for us to get the original items back).
When such lists are checked against the selection tree, we can check
each item individually this way and we can support operators like
"match any" and "match all".
The list of strings is used quite frequently and we'd like to reuse
this simple structure for report selection support too. Make it part
of libdevmapper for general reuse throughout the code.
This also simplifies the LVM code a bit since we don't need to
include and manage lvm-types.h anymore (the string list was the
only structure defined there).
This is rebased and edited version of the original design and
patch proposed by Jun'ichi Nomura:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2007-April/msg00025.html
The dm_report_init_with_selection is the same as dm_report_init
but it contains an additional argument to set the selection
in the form of a string that contains field names to check against and
selection operators. The selection string is parsend and a selection
tree is composed for use in the checks against individual fields when
the report is processed. The parsed selection tree is stored in dm_report
structure as "selection_root".
This makes it easier to check against the fields (following patches for
report selection) and check whether size units are allowed or not
with the field value.
Share DM_REPORT_FIELD_RESERVED_NAME_{HELP,HELP_ALT} between libdm and
any libdm user to handle reserved field names, in this case the virtual
field name to show help instead of failing on unrecognized field.
The libdm user also needs to check the field name so it can fire
proper code in this case (cleanup, exit etc.).
Avoid introducing libdm structure allocated in library user.
Use direct call with all currently supported args.
When new arg is added, new function will cover it.
I am reverting the commit below - removing the new 'dm_config_get_int'
function and simply calling 'dm_config_get_uint32' while casting the
'int *' pointer parameter.

Misc: New function for reading lvm config file fields
Introduce 'dm_config_get_int', which will be used by the upcoming
cachepool segment type.
This patch defines a structure for holding all of the device-mapper
cache target's status information. The associated function provides
an easy way for higher levels (LVM) to consume the information.
This patch finishes the device-mapper interface for the cache and
cachepool segment types (i.e. the cache target).
This patch adds the cache segment type - the second of two necessary
to create cache logical volumes. This segment type references the
cachepool (the small fast device) and the origin (the large slow device);
linking them to create the cache device. The cache device is the
hierarchical device-mapper device that the user ulitmately makes use
of.
The cache segment sources the information necessary to construct the
device-mapper cache target from the origin and cachepool segments to
which it links.
This patch adds the new cachepool segment type - the first of two
necessary to eventually create 'cache' logical volumes. In addition
to the new segment type, updates to makefiles, configure files, the
lv_segment struct, and some necessary libdevmapper flags.
The cachepool is the LV and corresponding segment type that will hold
all information pertinent to the cache itself - it's size, cachemode,
cache policy, core arguments (like migration_threshold), etc.
This file may be included by other programs, so it should be compliant
with the C standard.
* use __linux__ instead of linux - __linux__ is always defined, linux is
not defined when gcc runs in standard-compliant mode (with -std=c89 or
-std=c99) because the C standard doesn't allow polluting namespace
with arbitrary defines.

Just like we have symbolic names assigned to general DM udev flags
(DM_UDEV_* flags), we have the same for any subsystem flags now
(DM_SUBSYSTEM_UDEV_FLAG*), making it easier to use.
Recent kernels allow messages to respond with a string.
Add dm_task_get_message_response() to libdevmapper to perform some
basic sanity checks and return this.
Have 'dmsetup message' display any response.
DM statistics will make extensive use of this.
(From Mikulas.)
Support tests with abort when libdm encounters internal
error - i.e. for dmsetup tool.
Code execution will be aborted when
env var DM_ABORT_ON_INTERNAL_ERRORS is set to 1
'lvchange' is used to alter a RAID 1 logical volume's write-mostly and
write-behind characteristics. The '--writemostly' parameter takes a
PV as an argument with an optional trailing character to specify whether
to set ('y'), unset ('n'), or toggle ('t') the value. If no trailing
character is given, it will set the flag.
Synopsis:
lvchange [--writemostly <PV>:{t|y|n}] [--writebehind <count>] vg/lv
Example:
lvchange --writemostly /dev/sdb1:y --writebehind 512 vg/raid1_lv
The last character in the 'lv_attr' field is used to show whether a device
has the WriteMostly flag set. It is signified with a 'w'. If the device
has failed, the 'p'artial flag has priority.
Example ("nosync" raid1 with mismatch_cnt and writemostly):
[~]# lvs -a --segment vg
LV VG Attr #Str Type SSize
raid1 vg Rwi---r-m 2 raid1 500.00m
[raid1_rimage_0] vg Iwi---r-- 1 linear 500.00m
[raid1_rimage_1] vg Iwi---r-w 1 linear 500.00m
[raid1_rmeta_0] vg ewi---r-- 1 linear 4.00m
[raid1_rmeta_1] vg ewi---r-- 1 linear 4.00m
Example (raid1 with mismatch_cnt, writemostly - but failed drive):
[~]# lvs -a --segment vg
LV VG Attr #Str Type SSize
raid1 vg rwi---r-p 2 raid1 500.00m
[raid1_rimage_0] vg Iwi---r-- 1 linear 500.00m
[raid1_rimage_1] vg Iwi---r-p 1 linear 500.00m
[raid1_rmeta_0] vg ewi---r-- 1 linear 4.00m
[raid1_rmeta_1] vg ewi---r-p 1 linear 4.00m
A new reportable field has been added for writebehind as well. If
write-behind has not been set or the LV is not RAID1, the field will
be blank.
Example (writebehind is set):
[~]# lvs -a -o name,attr,writebehind vg
LV Attr WBehind
lv rwi-a-r-- 512
[lv_rimage_0] iwi-aor-w
[lv_rimage_1] iwi-aor--
[lv_rmeta_0] ewi-aor--
[lv_rmeta_1] ewi-aor--
Example (writebehind is not set):
[~]# lvs -a -o name,attr,writebehind vg
LV Attr WBehind
lv rwi-a-r--
[lv_rimage_0] iwi-aor-w
[lv_rimage_1] iwi-aor--
[lv_rmeta_0] ewi-aor--
[lv_rmeta_1] ewi-aor--
Revert commit 31c24dd9f2. This commit
was used to force a RAID device-mapper table to be loaded into the
kernel despite the fact that it was identical to the one already
loaded. The effect allowed a RAID array with a transiently failed
device to refresh and reintegrate the failed device. This operation
is better done in the kernel on a 'resume'. Since,
'lvchange --refresh' already performs a suspend/resume cycle, the
above commit is not needed once the kernel change is made. Reverting
the commit removes an unnecessary (at least for now) change to the
device-mapper interface.
I've updated the dm_status_raid structure and dm_get_status_raid()
function to make it handle the new kernel status fields that will
be coming in dm-raid v1.5.0. It is backwards compatible with the
old status line - initializing the new fields to '0'. The new
structure is also more amenable to future changes. It includes a
'reserved' field that is currently initialized to zero but could
be used to hold flags describing new features. It also now uses
pointers for the character strings instead of attempting to allocate
their space along with the structure (causing the size of the
structure to be variable). This allows future fields to be appended.
The new fields that are available are:
- sync_action : shows what the sync thread in the kernel is doing
(idle, frozen, resync, recover, check, repair, or
reshape)
- mismatch_count: shows the number of discrepancies which were
found or repaired by a "check" or "repair"
process, respectively.
Previous commit included changes to WHATSNEW, but the code changes
were missing. Here is the description from the previous commit:
commit bbc6378b73
Author: Jonathan Brassow <jbrassow@redhat.com>
Date: Thu Feb 21 11:31:36 2013 -0600
RAID: Make 'lvchange --refresh' restore transiently failed RAID PVs
A new function (dm_tree_node_force_identical_table_reload) was added to
avoid the suppression of identical table reloads. This allows RAID LVs
to reload the on-disk superblock information that contains which devices
have failed and the bitmaps. If the failed device has returned, this has
the effect of restoring the device and initiating recovery. Without this
patch, the user had to completely deactivate their RAID LV and re-activate
it in order to restore the failed device. Now they simply need to
suspend and resume (which is done by 'lvchange --refresh').
The identical table suppression is only avoided if the LV is not PARTAIL
(i.e. all of it's devices can be seen and read by LVM) and the kernel
status of the array contains failed devices. In other words, the function
will only be called in the case where we may have success in restoring
a failed device in the array.
