We need to stop guessing deleted names - so rather collect
deleted UUID into a string list - and then remove them properly
in _clean_tree. Restore origin _clean_tree behaviour them for
currently unconverted removal of snapshots.
Pending delete feature now properly tracks whole subtree of cache
(so i.e. data or metadata as raid volumes).
It properly replaces all related volumes with 'errors' in suspend
preload, then resume them as error and remove collected UUIDs
from root - since they are not longer part of any volume deps.

When getting status for LV segment types, we need to be sure
that proper segment is selected for the status ioctl.
When reporting fields that require status ioctl,
the "_choose_lv_segment_for_status_report" fn in tools/reporter.c
must be completed properly to choose the proper segment for all
the LV types (at the moment, it just takes the first LV segment
by default).
This works fine with cache LVs surely. The other segment types
need more auditing. We use this status ioctl only for cache status
fields at the moment only, so restrict it to the cache only.
Once the _choose_lv_segment_for_status_report is completed
properly, release the restriction in _get_segment_status_from_target_params.
Activate of new/unused/empty thin pool volume skips
the 'overlay' part and directly provides 'visible' thin-pool LV to the user.
Such thin pool still gets 'private' -tpool UUID suffix for easier
udev detection of protected lvm2 devices, and also gets udev flags to
avoid any scan.
Such pool device is 'public' LV with regular /dev/vgname/poolname link,
but it's still 'udev' hidden device for any other use.
To display proper active state we need to do few explicit tests
for this condition.
Before it's used for any lvm2 thin volume, deactivation is
now needed to avoid any 'race' with external usage.
Allowing 'external' use of thin-pools requires to validate even
so far 'unused' new thin pools.
Later we may have 'smarter' way to resolve which thin-pools are
owned by lvm2 and which are external.
When the cache pool is unused, lvm2 code will internally
allow to activate such cache-pool.
Cache-pool is activate as metadata LV, so lvm2 could easily
wipe such volume before cache-pool is reused.
Replace lv_cache_block_info() and lv_cache_policy_info()
with lv_cache_status() which directly returns
dm_status_cache structure together with some calculated
values.
After use mem pool stored inside lv_status_cache structure
needs to be destroyed.
Add init of no_open_count into _setup_task().
Report problem as warning (cannot happen anyway).
Also drop some duplicated debug messages - we have already
printed the info about operation so make log a bit shorter.
Currently, there are 5 things that device_is_usable function checks
(for DM devices only, of course):
- is device empty?
- is device blocked? (mirror)
- is device suspended?
- is device composed of an error target?
- is device name/uuid reserved?
If answer to any of these questions is "yes", then the device is not usable.
This patch just adds possibility to choose what to check for exactly - the
device_is_usable function now accepts struct dev_usable_check_params make
this selection possible. This is going to be used by subsequent patches.
Try to enforce consistent macro usage along these lines:
lv_is_mirror - mirror that uses the original dm-raid1 implementation
(segment type "mirror")
lv_is_mirror_type - also includes internal mirror image and log LVs
lv_is_raid - raid volume that uses the new dm-raid implementation
(segment type "raid")
lv_is_raid_type - also includes internal raid image / log / metadata LVs
lv_is_mirrored - LV is mirrored using either kernel implementation
(excludes non-mirror modes like raid5 etc.)
lv_is_pvmove - internal pvmove volume
Use lv_is_* macros throughout the code base, introducing
lv_is_pvmove, lv_is_locked, lv_is_converting and lv_is_merging.
lv_is_mirror_type no longer includes pvmove.
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.
Currently, we have two modes of activation, an unnamed nominal mode
(which I will refer to as "complete") and "partial" mode. The
"complete" mode requires that a volume group be 'complete' - that
is, no missing PVs. If there are any missing PVs, no affected LVs
are allowed to activate - even RAID LVs which might be able to
tolerate a failure. The "partial" mode allows anything to be
activated (or at least attempted). If a non-redundant LV is
missing a portion of its addressable space due to a device failure,
it will be replaced with an error target. RAID LVs will either
activate or fail to activate depending on how badly their
redundancy is compromised.
This patch adds a third option, "degraded" mode. This mode can
be selected via the '--activationmode {complete|degraded|partial}'
option to lvchange/vgchange. It can also be set in lvm.conf.
The "degraded" activation mode allows RAID LVs with a sufficient
level of redundancy to activate (e.g. a RAID5 LV with one device
failure, a RAID6 with two device failures, or RAID1 with n-1
failures). RAID LVs with too many device failures are not allowed
to activate - nor are any non-redundant LVs that may have been
affected. This patch also makes the "degraded" mode the default
activation mode.
The degraded activation mode does not yet work in a cluster. A
new cluster lock flag (LCK_DEGRADED_MODE) will need to be created
to make that work. Currently, there is limited space for this
extra flag and I am looking for possible solutions. One possible
solution is to usurp LCK_CONVERT, as it is not used. When the
locking_type is 3, the degraded mode flag simply gets dropped and
the old ("complete") behavior is exhibited.
Enable 'retry' deactivation also in 'cleanup' phase.
It shouldn't be mostly needed - however udev now produces
more and more completelny non-synchronizable device opens,
so even for orphan devices we can't easily predict where
udevd opens devices.
So it's more preferable here to log error about device being open
and retry clean, but let the command proceed.
Disable code which has postprocessed whole tree and reset udev flags.
We need to find out which case was troublesome - since this loop
was just hidding bug in other code parts (most probably preload tree)
In general for non-toplevel LVs we shouldn't allow any _tree_action.
For now error on request for cache_pool activation which
doesn't even exist in dm-table.
Reorder detection for internal device - since this test
is much simpler then target analysis, check it sooner.
Replace test for '68' with sizeof & ID_LEN
Add FIXME about device alias problem with is_reserved_lvname,
since this test fails on devices like /dev/dm-X
so we need to convert tests to UUID.
Even though we make pool volume as a public visible LV,
we still do not want tools to look at this volume.
While we do not create /dev/vg/lv link, device is still
accessible via /dev/mapper/vg-lv and there is no easy
way to recognize it's private without lvm2 metadata.
Enhance UUID with -pool suffix and directly skip
any LV with a suffix in device_is_usable() call.
TODO: enhance other targets with this logic.
blkid may probably use same simple logic.
The empty pool is also the pool which has yet queued list of messages
and transaction_id == 1.
Problem is exposed when pool is created inactive.
lvcreate -L10 -T vg/pool -an
lvcreate -V10 -T vg/pool
This patch allows users to create cache LVs with 'lvcreate'. An origin
or a cache pool LV must be created first. Then, while supplying the
origin or cache pool to the lvcreate command, the cache can be created.
Ex1:
Here the cache pool is created first, followed by the origin which will
be cached.
~> lvcreate --type cache_pool -L 500M -n cachepool vg /dev/small_n_fast
~> lvcreate --type cache -L 1G -n lv vg/cachepool /dev/large_n_slow
Ex2:
Here the origin is created first, followed by the cache pool - allowing
a cache LV to be created covering the origin.
~> lvcreate -L 1G -n lv vg /dev/large_n_slow
~> lvcreate --type cache -L 500M -n cachepool vg/lv /dev/small_n_fast
The code determines which type of LV was supplied (cache pool or origin)
by checking its type. It ensures the right argument was given by ensuring
that the origin is larger than the cache pool.
If the user wants to remove just the cache for an LV. They specify
the LV's associated cache pool when removing:
~> lvremove vg/cachepool
If the user wishes to remove the origin, but leave the cachepool to be
used for another LV, they specify the cache LV.
~> lvremove vg/lv
In order to remove it all, specify both LVs.
This patch also includes tests to create and remove cache pools and
cache LVs.
Building on the new DM function that parses DM cache status, we
introduce the following LVM level functions to aquire information
about cache devices:
- lv_cache_block_info: retrieves information on the cache's block/chunk usage
- lv_cache_policy_info: retrieves information on the cache's policy
This reverts commit 24639be558.
Ok - seems we could be here a bit too active - and we
may remove devices which are unsuable for reasons we are not
aware of - thus taking down whole device could be way to big hammer.
So we still need some solution to recover from failing preload
and activation - but it needs more tunning.
When activation fails - we may leak large tree of partially loaded
devices in the dm table (i.e. failure in snapshot activation)
The best we can do here is try to deactivate whole device and
remove as much inactive table entries as we can.
Collapse 2 ifs and replace log_error() with log_warn(), since\
the reported message is not causing tools error.
(and cannot be probably triggered anyway).
Drop find_merging_snapshot() function. Use find_snapshot()
called after check for lv_is_merging_origin() which
is the commonly used code path - so we avoid duplicated
tests and potential risk of derefering NULL point
in unhandled error path.
There is a problem with the way mirrors have been designed to handle
failures that is resulting in stuck LVM processes and hung I/O. When
mirrors encounter a write failure, they block I/O and notify userspace
to reconfigure the mirror to remove failed devices. This process is
open to a couple races:
1) Any LVM process other than the one that is meant to deal with the
mirror failure can attempt to read the mirror, fail, and block other
LVM commands (including the repair command) from proceeding due to
holding a lock on the volume group.
2) If there are multiple mirrors that suffer a failure in the same
volume group, a repair can block while attempting to read the LVM
label from one mirror while trying to repair the other.
Mitigation of these races has been attempted by disallowing label reading
of mirrors that are either suspended or are indicated as blocking by
the kernel. While this has closed the window of opportunity for hitting
the above problems considerably, it hasn't closed it completely. This is
because it is still possible to start an LVM command, read the status of
the mirror as healthy, and then perform the read for the label at the
moment after a the failure is discovered by the kernel.
I can see two solutions to this problem:
1) Allow users to configure whether mirrors can be candidates for LVM
labels (i.e. whether PVs can be created on mirror LVs). If the user
chooses to allow label scanning of mirror LVs, it will be at the expense
of a possible hang in I/O or LVM processes.
2) Instrument a way to allow asynchronous label reading - allowing
blocked label reads to be ignored while continuing to process the LVM
command. This would action would allow LVM commands to continue even
though they would have otherwise blocked trying to read a mirror. They
can then release their lock and allow a repair command to commence. In
the event of #2 above, the repair command already in progress can continue
and repair the failed mirror.
This patch brings solution #1. If solution #2 is developed later on, the
configuration option created in #1 can be negated - allowing mirrors to
be scanned for labels by default once again.
Add LV_TEMPORARY flag for LVs with limited existence during command
execution. Such LVs are temporary in way that they need to be activated,
some action done and then removed immediately. Such LVs are just like
any normal LV - the only difference is that they are removed during
LVM command execution. This is also the case for LVs representing
future pool metadata spare LVs which we need to initialize by using
the usual LV before they are declared as pool metadata spare.
We can optimize some other parts like udev to do a better job if
it knows that the LV is temporary and any processing on it is just
useless.
This flag is orthogonal to LV_NOSCAN flag introduced recently
as LV_NOSCAN flag is primarily used to mark an LV for the scanning
to be avoided before the zeroing of the device happens. The LV_TEMPORARY
flag makes a difference between a full-fledged LV visible in the system
and the LV just used as a temporary overlay for some action that needs to
be done on underlying PVs.
For example: lvcreate --thinpool POOL --zero n -L 1G vg
- first, the usual LV is created to do a clean up for pool metadata
spare. The LV is activated, zeroed, deactivated.
- between "activated" and "zeroed" stage, the LV_NOSCAN flag is used
to avoid any scanning in udev
- betwen "zeroed" and "deactivated" stage, we need to avoid the WATCH
udev rule, but since the LV is just a usual LV, we can't make a
difference. The LV_TEMPORARY internal LV flag helps here. If we
create the LV with this flag, the DM_UDEV_DISABLE_DISK_RULES
and DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES flag are set (just like as it is
with "invisible" and non-top-level LVs) - udev is directed to
skip WATCH rule use.
- if the LV_TEMPORARY flag was not used, there would normally be
a WATCH event generated once the LV is closed after "zeroed"
stage. This will make problems with immediated deactivation that
follows.
A common scenario is during new LV creation when we need to wipe the
newly created LV and avoid any udev scanning before this stage otherwise
it could cause the device (the LV) to be claimed by some other subsystem
for which there were stale metadata within LV data.
This patch adds possibility to mark the LV we're just about to wipe with
a flag that gets passed to udev via DM_COOKIE as a subsystem specific
flag - DM_SUBSYSTEM_UDEV_FLAG0 (in this case the subsystem is "LVM")
so LVM udev rules will take care of handling that.
Commit b248ba0a39 attempted to
prevent mirror devices which had a failed device in their
mirrored log from being usable/readable by LVM. This was to
protect against circular dependancies where one LVM command
could be blocked trying to read one of these affected mirrors
while the LVM command to fix/unblock that mirror was stuck
behind the currently running command.
The above commit went wrong when it used 'device_is_usable()' to
recurse on the mirrored log device to check if it was suspended
or blocked. The 'device_is_usable' function also contains a check
for reserved names - like *_mlog, etc. This last check always
triggered when checking a mirror's log simply because of the name,
not because it was suspended or blocked - a false positive.
The solution is to create a new function like 'device_is_usable',
but without the check for reserved names. Using this new function
(device_is_suspended_or_blocked), we can check the status of a
mirror's log device properly.
When tree for thin LVs was using external_lv, there has been
far less optimal solution, that has tried to add certain
existing dependencie only when new node was added.
However this has lead to way to complex tree construction since
many repeated checks have been made during such tree build.
This patch move this detection to the proper _partial_tree generation
code and uses for it new 'activation' flag, which is set when
tree for ACTIVATION or PRELOAD is generated.
It increases performance when thins with external origins are used.
(in release update)
Created dlid for test is not needed afterward, so lower a memory
usage of this call is repeatedly used for building some large tree.
TODO: create function to use given buffer on stack as much cheaper.
Code needs to check if the layer origin device is suspended,
It's valid to create thinvolume snapshot of thinvolume which is also
used as an old-style snapshot. In this case we need to check -real
is suspended.
When adding origin_only - add only layer thin volume.
(in case it's also old-snapshot add only -real device)
Setting the cmd->default_settings.udev_fallback also requires DM
driver version check. However, this caused useless mapper/control
access with ioctl if not needed actually. For example if we're not
using activation code, we don't need to know the udev_fallback as
there's no node and symlink processing.
For example, this premature mapper/control access caused problems
when using lvm2app even when no activation happens - there are
situations in which we don't need to use mapper/control, but still
need some of the lvm2app functionality. This is also the case for
lvm2-activation systemd generator which just needs to look at the
lvm2 configuration, but it shouldn't touch mapper/control.
Commit 9fd7ac7d03 introduced a way a
method of avoiding reading from mirrors with a device failure. If
a device was found to be dead, the mapping table was checked for
'handle_errors' or 'block_on_error'. These strings were checked for
in the table string via 'strstr', which could also match on strings
like, 'no_handle_errors' or 'no_block_on_error'. No such strings
exist, but we don't want to have problems in the future if they do.
So, we check for ' <string>{'\0'|' '}'.
New options to 'lvchange' allow users to scrub their RAID LVs.
Synopsis:
lvchange --syncaction {check|repair} vg/raid_lv
RAID scrubbing is the process of reading all the data and parity blocks in
an array and checking to see whether they are coherent. 'lvchange' can
now initaite the two scrubbing operations: "check" and "repair". "check"
will go over the array and recored the number of discrepancies but not
repair them. "repair" will correct the discrepancies as it finds them.
'lvchange --syncaction repair vg/raid_lv' is not to be confused with
'lvconvert --repair vg/raid_lv'. The former initiates a background
synchronization operation on the array, while the latter is designed to
repair/replace failed devices in a mirror or RAID logical volume.
Additional reporting has been added for 'lvs' to support the new
operations. Two new printable fields (which are not printed by
default) have been added: "syncaction" and "mismatches". These
can be accessed using the '-o' option to 'lvs', like:
lvs -o +syncaction,mismatches vg/lv
"syncaction" will print the current synchronization operation that the
RAID volume is performing. It can be one of the following:
- idle: All sync operations complete (doing nothing)
- resync: Initializing an array or recovering after a machine failure
- recover: Replacing a device in the array
- check: Looking for array inconsistencies
- repair: Looking for and repairing inconsistencies
The "mismatches" field with print the number of descrepancies found during
a check or repair operation.
The 'Cpy%Sync' field already available to 'lvs' will print the progress
of any of the above syncactions, including check and repair.
Finally, the lv_attr field has changed to accomadate the scrubbing operations
as well. The role of the 'p'artial character in the lv_attr report field
as expanded. "Partial" is really an indicator for the health of a
logical volume and it makes sense to extend this include other health
indicators as well, specifically:
'm'ismatches: Indicates that there are discrepancies in a RAID
LV. This character is shown after a scrubbing
operation has detected that portions of the RAID
are not coherent.
'r'efresh : Indicates that a device in a RAID array has suffered
a failure and the kernel regards it as failed -
even though LVM can read the device label and
considers the device to be ok. The LV should be
'r'efreshed to notify the kernel that the device is
now available, or the device should be 'r'eplaced
if it is suspected of failing.
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.
For example, the old call and reference:
find_config_tree_str(cmd, "devices/dir", DEFAULT_DEV_DIR)
...now becomes:
find_config_tree_str(cmd, devices_dir_CFG)
So we're referring to the named configuration ID instead
of passing the configuration path and the default value
is taken from central config definition in config_settings.h
automatically.
Reorder activation code to look similar for preload tree and
activation tree.
Its also give much better suppport for device stacking,
since now we also support activation of snapshot which might
be then used for other devices.
Similar to the way thin* accesses its kernel status, we add a method
for RAID to grab the various values in its status output without the
higher levels (LVM) having to understand how to parse the output.
Added functions include:
- lib/activate/dev_manager.c:dev_manager_raid_status()
Pulls the status line from the kernel
- libdm/libdm-deptree.c:dm_get_status_raid()
Parses status line and puts components into dm_status_raid struct
- lib/activate/activate.c:lv_raid_dev_health()
Accesses dm_status_raid to deliver raid dev_health string
The new structure and functions can provide a more unified way to access
status information. ('lv_raid_percent' could switch to using these
functions, for example.)
Function _ignore_blocked_mirror_devices was not release
allocated strings images_health and log_health.
In error paths it was also not releasing dm_task structure.
Swaped return code of _ignore_blocked_mirror_devices and
use 1 as success.
In _parse_mirror_status use log_error if memory allocation
fails and few more errors so they are no going unnoticed
as debug messages.
On error path always clear return values and free strings.
For dev_create_file use cache mem pool to avoid memleak.
Commit 9fd7ac7d03 did not handle mirrors
that contained mirrored logs. This is because the status line of the
mirror does not give an indication of the health of the mirrored log,
as you can see here:
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# dmsetup status vg-lv vg-lv_mlog
vg-lv: 0 409600 mirror 2 253:6 253:7 400/400 1 AA 3 disk 253:5 A
vg-lv_mlog: 0 8192 mirror 2 253:3 253:4 7/8 1 AD 1 core
Thus, the possibility for LVM commands to hang still persists when mirror
have mirrored logs. I discovered this while performing some testing that
does polling with 'pvs' while doing I/O and killing devices. The 'pvs'
managed to get between the mirrored log device failure and the attempt
by dmeventd to repair it. The result was a very nasty block in LVM
commands that is very difficult to remove - even for someone who knows
what is going on. Thus, it is absolutely essential that the log of a
mirror be recursively checked for mirror devices which may be failed
as well.
Despite what the code comment says in the aforementioned commit...
+ * _mirrored_transient_status(). FIXME: It is unable to handle mirrors
+ * with mirrored logs because it does not have a way to get the status of
+ * the mirror that forms the log, which could be blocked.
... it is possible to get the status of the log because the log device
major/minor is given to us by the status output of the top-level mirror.
We can use that to query the log device for any DM status and see if it
is a mirror that needs to be bypassed. This patch does just that and is
now able to avoid reading from mirrors that have failed devices in a
mirrored log.
Addresses: rhbz855398 (Allow VGs to be built on cluster mirrors),
and other issues.
The LVM code attempts to avoid reading labels from devices that are
suspended to try to avoid situations that may cause the commands to
block indefinitely. When scanning devices, 'ignore_suspended_devices'
can be set so the code (lib/activate/dev_manager.c:device_is_usable())
checks any DM devices it finds and avoids them if they are suspended.
The mirror target has an additional mechanism that can cause I/O to
be blocked. If a device in a mirror fails, all I/O will be blocked
by the kernel until a new table (a linear target or a mirror with
replacement devices) is loaded. The mirror indicates that this condition
has happened by marking a 'D' for the faulty device in its status
output. This condition must also be checked by 'device_is_usable()' to
avoid the possibility of blocking LVM commands indefinitely due to an
attempt to read the blocked mirror for labels.
Until now, mirrors were avoided if the 'ignore_suspended_devices'
condition was set. This check seemed to suggest, "if we are concerned
about suspended devices, then let's ignore mirrors altogether just
in case". This is insufficient and doesn't solve any problems. All
devices that are suspended are already avoided if
'ignore_suspended_devices' is set; and if a mirror is blocking because
of an error condition, it will block the LVM command regardless of the
setting of that variable.
Rather than avoiding mirrors whenever 'ignore_suspended_devices' is
set, this patch causes mirrors to be avoided whenever they are blocking
due to an error. (As mentioned above, the case where a DM device is
suspended is already covered.) This solves a number of issues that weren't
handled before. For example, pvcreate (or any command that does a
pv_read or vg_read, which eventually call device_is_usable()) will be
protected from blocked mirrors regardless of how
'ignore_suspended_devices' is set. Additionally, a mirror that is
neither suspended nor blocking is /allowed/ to be read regardless
of how 'ignore_suspended_devices' is set. (The latter point being the
source of the fix for rhbz855398.)
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().
The 'mirror' segtype and 'raid1' segtype both set the 'MIRRORED' flag.
However, due to differences in the way these device-mapper targets behave
'mirror' must be suspended with the 'noflush' option and 'raid1' does not
have to be.
This patch ensures that when the 'MIRRORED' flag is checked to see if
'noflush' is needed that it does not also set it for 'raid1' by mistake.
Update a way we handle option passing - so we now support path and options
with space inside.
Fix dm name usage for thin pools with '-' in name.
Use new lvm.conf option thin_check_options to pass in options as string array.
Use thin_dump --repair suggestion in log error message
and use just warning on deactivation path without repair info
(since node has been deactivated).
Also check whether there is not 16 args for thin_check configured.
Use libdm callback to execute thin_check before activation
thin pool and after deactivation as well.
Supporting thin_check_executable which may pass in extra options for
the tool.
Commit 02f6f4902f introduced a bug that caused
RAID devices to fail to activate if the device for a single sub-LV failed.
The special case of LVM mirror was handled, but not LVM RAID.

Count number of error and existing areas and if there is no existing area
for the LV avoid its activation.
Always disable partial activatio for thin volumes.
For mirrors currently put in hack to let it pass with a special name
since current mirror code needs to activate such LV during some operations.
For reading % of mapped size of thin volume use as origin for
old style snapshot '-real' device needs to be queried.
Fix log_error report given for lvs -a in this case.
Pass in the origin_only flag also for thin volumes - but curently the flag
is not used to its best.
FIXME: achieve the state where only thin volume snapshot origin is
suspended without its childrens - let's explore whether this may
happen automatically inside libdm (might be generic for other targets).
So the code would not need to annotate the node for this.
Extend lv_activate_opts with bool flag to know for which purpose
dtree is created - and add message only for activation tree
(since that's the only place that may send them).
Extend validation check for thin snapshot creation and test whether
active snapshot origin is suspended before its snapshot is created
(useful in recover scenarios) - in this case also detect, whether
transaction has been already completed and avoid such suspend check
failure in that case.
Similar to the "mirror" segment type's log device, _add_dev_to_dtree should
be called and not _add_lv_to_dtree when adding metadata sub-LVs to the deptree.
Since _add_lv_to_dtree was being called, 'origin_only' could be set if a
snapshot sits on top of the RAID device. This would cause the actual device
that needed to be added to be skipped in favor of the non-existant device,
"<foo>-real".
This value returns percentage of 'mapped' size compared with total LV size.
(Without passed seg pointer it return highest mapped size - but it's
not used yet.)
LVM metadata knows only of striped segments - not linear ones.
The activation code detects segments with a single stripe and switches
them to use the linear target.
If the new lvm.conf setting is set to 0 (e.g. in a test script), this
'optimisation' is turned off.
Remove FIXMES - there should not be any pool free call since
the memory pool is from device manager, and pool is detroyed
after the operation, so doing extra free here would not help here.
However lv_has_target_type() is using cmd mempool so here the extra
call for dm_pool_free makes sence.
Since we support snapshots of thin volumes, we could have more layers,
so we have to check whether tpool layer is going to be inserted.
As the _add_segment_to_dtree() is the only place that adds tpool
segment, we may just check pointer (no strcmp for layer).
Switch to use seg_is_ function instead of lv_is_.
Let's put the overlay device over real thin pool device.
So we can get the proper locking on cluster.
Overwise the pool LV would be activate once implicitely
and in other case explicitely, confusing locking mechanism.
This patch make the activation of pool LV independent on
activation of thin LV since they will both implicitely use
real -thin pool device.
When verify_udev_operations was disable, code for stacking fs operation for
lvm links was completely disable - but this code was also used for collecting
information, that a new node is being created.
Add a new flag which is set when a creation of lv symlinks is requested which
should restore old behaviour of lv_info function, that has called fs_sync()
before quere for open count on device.
Using log_warn to report missing symlinks as warning, since the command
itself returns as successful, we should not produce log_error().
log_warn is better fit here.
Cosmetic, since r is already 0 for the error path, no need to assign it there,
and r is assigned to 1 after switch command.
Also makes the code more readable.
The current code does not always assign proper udev flags to sub-LVs (e.g.
mirror images and log LVs). This shows up especially during a splitmirror
operation in which an image is split off from a mirror to form a new LV.
A mirror with a disk log is actually composed of 4 different LVs: the 2
mirror images, the log, and the top-level LV that "glues" them all together.
When a 2-way mirror is split into two linear LVs, two of those LVs must be
removed. The segments of the image which is not split off to form the new
LV are transferred to the top-level LV. This is done so that the original
LV can maintain its major/minor, UUID, and name. The sub-lv from which the
segments were transferred gets an error segment as a transitory process
before it is eventually removed. (Note that if the error target was not put
in place, a resume_lv would result in two LVs pointing to the same segment!
If the machine crashes before the eventual removal of the sub-LV, the result
would be a residual LV with the same mapping as the original (now linear) LV.)
So, the two LVs that need to be removed are now the log device and the sub-LV
with the error segment. If udev_flags are not properly set, a resume will
cause the error LV to come up and be scanned by udev. This causes I/O errors.
Additionally, when udev scans sub-LVs (or former sub-LVs), it can cause races
when we are trying to remove those LVs. This is especially bad during failure
conditions.
When the mirror is suspended, the top-level along with its sub-LVs are
suspended. The changes (now 2 linear devices and the yet-to-be-removed log
and error LV) are committed. When the resume takes place on the original
LV, there are no longer links to the other sub-lvs through the LVM metadata.
The links are implicitly handled by querying the kernel for a list of
dependencies. This is done in the '_add_dev' function (which is recursively
called for each dependency found) - called through the following chain:
_add_dev
dm_tree_add_dev_with_udev_flags
<*** DM / LVM divide ***>
_add_dev_to_dtree
_add_lv_to_dtree
_create_partial_dtree
_tree_action
dev_manager_activate
_lv_activate_lv
_lv_resume
lv_resume_if_active
When udev flags are calculated by '_get_udev_flags', it is done by referencing
the 'logical_volume' structure. Those flags are then passed down into
'dm_tree_add_dev_with_udev_flags', which in turn passes them to '_add_dev'.
Unfortunately, when '_add_dev' is finding the dependencies, it has no way to
calculate their proper udev_flags. This is because it is below the DM/LVM
divide - it doesn't have access to the logical_volume structure. In fact,
'_add_dev' simply reuses the udev_flags given for the initial device! This
virtually guarentees the udev_flags are wrong for all the dependencies unless
they are reset by some other mechanism. The current code provides no such
mechanism. Even if '_add_new_lv_to_dtree' were called on the sub-devices -
which it isn't - entries already in the tree are simply passed over, failing
to reset any udev_flags. The solution must retain its implicit nature of
discovering dependencies and be able to go back over the dependencies found
to properly set the udev_flags.
My solution simply calls a new function before leaving '_add_new_lv_to_dtree'
that iterates over the dtree nodes to properly reset the udev_flags of any
children. It is important that this function occur after the '_add_dev' has
done its job of querying the kernel for a list of dependencies. It is this
list of children that we use to look up their respective LVs and properly
calculate the udev_flags.
This solution has worked for single machine, cluster, and cluster w/ exclusive
activation.
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.
~> 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.
Implementation described in doc/lvm2-raid.txt.
Basic support includes:
- ability to create RAID 1/4/5/6 arrays
- ability to delete RAID arrays
- ability to display RAID arrays
Notable missing features (not included in this patch):
- ability to clean-up/repair failures
- ability to convert RAID segment types
- ability to monitor RAID segment types
We've used udev fallback code till now to check whether udev
created/removed the entries in /dev correctly and if not,
a repair was done (giving a warning messagea about that).
This patch adds a possibility to enable this additional check
and subsequent fallback only when required (debugging purposes
mostly) and trust udev completely.
So let's disable the fallback code by default and add a new
configuration option "activation/udev_fallback".
(The original code for creating the nodes will still be used
in case the device directory that is set in lvm.conf differs
from the one that udev uses and also when activation/udev_rules
is set to 0 - otherwise we would end up with no nodes/symlinks
at all)
To avoid modification of 'read-only' volume group structure
add a new structure to pass local data around the code for LV
activation.
As origin_only is one such flag - replace this parameter with new
struct lv_activate_opts.
More parameters might eventually become part of lv_activate_opts.
are affected by the move. (Currently it's possible for I/O to become
trapped between suspended devices amongst other problems.
The current fix was selected so as to minimise the testing surface. I
hope eventually to replace it with a cleaner one that extends the
deptree code.
Some lvconvert scenarios still suffer from related problems.
LVM doesn't behave correctly if running as non-root user,
there is warning when it detects it.
Despite this, it produces many error messages, saying nothing.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=620571
This patch fixes two things:
1) Removes eror message from device_is_usable() which has no
information value anyway (real warning is printed inside it).
2) it fixes device-mapper initialization, if we support
core dm module autoload and device node is present, it should
fail early and not try recreate existing and correct node.
(non-root == permission denied here)
N.B. In future code should support user roles, some more
drastic checks in code are probably contraproductive now.
activated.
In order to achieve this, we need to be able to query whether
the origin is active exclusively (a condition of being able to
add an exclusive snapshot).
Once we are able to query the exclusive activation of an LV, we
can safely create/activate the snapshot.
A change to 'hold_lock' was also made so that a request to aquire
a WRITE lock did not replace an EX lock, which is already a form
of write lock.
Stop calling fs_unlock() from lv_de/activate().
Start using internal lvm fs cookie for dm_tree.
Stop directly calling dm_udev_wait() and
dm_tree_set/get_cookie() from activate code -
it's now called through fs_unlock() function.
Add lvm_do_fs_unlock()
Call fs_unlock() when unlocking vg where implicit unlock solves the
problem also for cluster - thus no extra command for clustering
environment is required - only lvm_do_fs_unlock() function is added
to call lvm's fs_unlock() while holding lvm_lock mutex in clvmd.
Add fs_unlock() also to set_lv() so the command waits until devices
are ready for regular open (i.e. wiping its begining).
Move fs_unlock() prototype to activation.h to keep fs.h private
in lib/activate dir and not expose other functions from this header.
A merged snapshot's DM device is made to use the "error" target as part
of lvm's transaction to merge a snapshot. This snapshot merge use-case
aside, any device using the error target shouldn't be scanned.
page.
Add ->target_name to segtype_handler to allow a more specific target
name to be returned based on the state of the segment.
Result of trying to merge a snapshot using a kernel that doesn't have
the snapshot-merge target:
Before:
# lvconvert --merge vg/snap
Can't expand LV lv: snapshot target support missing from kernel?

Failed to suspend origin lv
Unable to merge LV "snap" into it's origin.
to block when a mirror under a snapshot suffers a failure.
The problem has to do with label scanning. When a mirror suffers
a failure, the kernel blocks I/O to prevent corruption. When
LVM attempts to repair the mirror, it scans the devices on the
system for LVM labels. While mirrors are skipped during this
scanning process, snapshot-origins are not. When the origin is
scanned, it kicks up I/O to the mirror (which is blocked)
underneath - causing the label scan (an thus the repair operation)
to hang.
This patch simply bypasses snapshot-origin devices when doing
labels scans (while ignore_suspended_devices() is set). This
fixes the issue.
Ignore snapshots when performing mirror recovery beneath an origin.
Pass LCK_ORIGIN_ONLY flag around cluster.
Add suspend_lv_origin and resume_lv_origin using LCK_ORIGIN_ONLY.
Adding function _add_partial_replicator_to_dtree() to create
partial tree for Replicator target.
Using dm_tree_node_set_presuspend_node() for Replicator.
This should avoid various races between dmeventd on multiple nodes
in cluster where one node already repairing device and another
run full scan and locks the device.
There's no need for foreign udev rules to touch LVM reserved devices
(snapshot, pvmove, _mlog, _mimage, _vorigin) even if they happen to
be visible. The same applies for /dev/disk content - no need to create
any content for these devices (and so no need to run any "blkid" etc.).
This also prevents setting any inotify "watch" from udev rules on such
devices that is a source of race conditions (the rules need to honor
DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES_FLAG for this to work though).
Internally, we used DM names instead of UUIDs while processing event
handlers. This caused problems while trying to vgrename a VG with active LVs
where the names are being changed and so the devices were not found then.
The patch also contains a little bit of refactoring, moving "build_dlid" code
found in dev_manager.c to "build_dm_uuid", now in lvm-string.c (so we have
build_dm_uuid and build_dm_name at one place).
lvm2 devices have always UUID set even if imported from lvm1 metadata.
Patch removes name argument from dev_manager_info call and converts
all activation related calls to use query by UUID.
Also it simplifies mknode call (which is the only user on mknodes parameter).
Add a merging snapshot to the deptree, using the "error" target, rather
than avoid adding it entirely. This allows proper cleanup of the -cow
device without having to rename the -cow to use the origin's name as a
prefix.
Move the preloading of the origin LV, after a merge, from
lv_remove_single() to vg_remove_snapshot(). Having vg_remove_snapshot()
preload the origin allows the -cow device to be released so that it can
be removed via deactivate_lv(). lv_remove_single()'s deactivate_lv()
reliably removes the -cow device because the associated snapshot LV,
that is to be removed when a snapshot-merge completes, is always added
to the deptree (and kernel -- via "error" target).
Now when the snapshot LV is removed both the -cow and -real devices
get removed using uuid rather than device name. This paves the way
for us to switch over to info-by-uuid queries.

We unfortunately don't yet _know_, in dev_manager_snapshot_percent(), if
a snapshot-merge target is active (activation is deferred if dev is
open); so we can't short-circuit origin devices based purely on existing
LVM LV attributes.
Set 'fail_if_percent_unsupported' in dev_manager_snapshot_percent() for
a merging origin LV, otherwise passing unsupported LV types to _percent
will lead to a default successful return with percent_range as
PERCENT_100.
For a merging origin, PERCENT_100 will result in a polldaemon that runs
infinitely (because completion is PERCENT_0).
When activating a merging origin it is valid, and expected, to not have
a node in the deptree for both the origin and its merging snapshot. The
_cached_info() caller is only concerned with whether a device is open.
If there isn't a node in the tree the associated device is definitely
not open.
In dev_manager_info 0 means error and 1 info is returned,
not that device exists (that value is part of info struct).
Fix query by uuid only (no name) which returns 0 when device
does not exist.
