Basic support to keep info when the LV was created.
Host and time is stored into LV mda section.
FIXME: Current version doesn't support configurable string via lvm.conf
and used fixed version strftime "%Y-%m-%d %T %z".
RAID is not like traditional LVM mirroring. LVM mirroring required failed
devices to be removed or the logical volume would simply hang. RAID arrays can
keep on running with failed devices. In fact, for RAID types other than RAID1,
removing a device would mean substituting an error target or converting to a
lower level RAID (e.g. RAID6 -> RAID5, or RAID4/5 to RAID0). Therefore, rather
than removing a failed device unconditionally and potentially allocating a
replacement, RAID allows the user to "replace" a device with a new one. This
approach is a 1-step solution vs the current 2-step solution.
example> lvconvert --replace <dev_to_remove> vg/lv [possible_replacement_PVs]
'--replace' can be specified more than once.
example> lvconvert --replace /dev/sdb1 --replace /dev/sdc1 vg/lv
Use static buffer instead of stack allocated buffer.
This reduces stack size usage of lvm tool and the
change is very simple.
Since the whole library is not thread safe - it should not
add any new problems - and if there will be some conversion
it's easy to convert this to use some preallocated buffer.
When a PV label write is deferred to a vg_write call (as introduced by a patch
in 2.02.86), the PV is flagged with the internal UNLABELLED_PV flag. However,
when calling vg_archive before vg_write, we still have the PV labelled with the
UNLABELLED_PV flag which was not recognised as a proper flag while exporting
VG metadata:
# vgcreate vg /dev/sda
No physical volume label read from /dev/sda
Metadata inconsistency: Not all flags successfully exported.
Metadata inconsistency: Not all flags successfully exported.

functionality. A number of bugs (copied and pasted all over the code) should
disappear:
- most string lookup based on dm_config_find_node would segfault when
encountering a non-zero integer (the intention there was to print an
error message instead)
- check for required sections in metadata would have been satisfied by
values as well (i.e. not sections)
- encountering a section in place of expected flag value would have
segfaulted (due to assumed but unchecked cn->v != NULL)
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.
There's a very high memory usage when calling _pv_analyse_mda_raw (e.g. while
executing pvck) that can end up with "out of memory".
_pv_analyse_mda_raw scans for metadata in the MDA, iteratively increasing the
size to scan with SECTOR_SIZE until we find a probable config section or we're
at the edge of the metadata area. However, when using a memory pool, we're also
iteratively chasing for bigger and bigger mempool chunk which can't be found
and so we're always allocating a new one, consuming more and more memory...
This patch just changes the mempool to direct memory allocation in this
problematic part of the code.
Move the free_vg() to vg.c and replace free_vg with release_vg
and make the _free_vg internal.
Patch is needed for sharing VG in vginfo cache so the release_vg function name
is a better fit here.
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
It's useful to keep the partial flag cached - so just move the call
for vg_mark_partil_lvs() into import_vg_from_config_tree() so it gets
evaluated before it goes through the lvmcache.
This patch should not present any functional change.
Note: It is rather temporal solution - proper place is probably inside the
'read' call back - but needs some more discussion.
For now using this minor hack.
transient error), stemming from the following sequence of events:
1) devices fail IO, triggering repair
2) dmeventd starts fixing up the mirror
3) during the downconversion, a new metadata version is written
--> the devices come back online here
4) the mirror device suspend/resume is called to update DM tables
5) during the suspend/resume cycle, *pre*-commit metadata is read;
however, since the failed devices are now back online, we get back
inconsistent set of precommit metadata and the whole operation fails
The patch relaxes the check that fails in step 5 above, namely by ignoring
inconsistencies coming from PVs that are marked MISSING.
Before, we used vg_write_lock_held call to determnine the way a device is
opened. Unfortunately, this opened many devices in RW mode when it was not
really necessary. With the OPTIONS+="watch" rule used in the udev rules,
this could fire numerous events while closing such devices (and it caused
useless scans from within udev rules in return).
A common bug we hit with this was with the lvremove command which was unable
to remove the LV since it was being opened from within the udev rules. This
patch should minimize such situations (at least with respect to LVM handling
of devices).
Though there's still a possibility someone will open a device 'outside' in
parallel and fire the event based on the watch rule when closing a device
once opened for RW.
Avoid using of already released memory when duplicated MDA is found.
As get_pv_from_vg_by_id() may call lvmcache_label_scan() use the local copy
of the vgname and vgid on the stack as vginfo may dissapear and code was
then accessing garbage in memory.
i.e. pvs /dev/loop0
(when /dev/loop0 and /dev/loop1 has same MDA content)

Add testing script
As code uses strncpy(system_id, NAME_LEN) and doesn't set '\0'
Fix it by always allocating NAME_LEN + 1 buffer size and with zalloc
we always get '\0' as the last byte.
This bug may trigger some unexpected behavior of the string operation
code - depends on the pool allocator.
FIXME: refactor this code to alloc_vg.
Missing free_vg on error_path in lvmcache_get_vg fn. Call destroy_instance
only if the fid is not part of the vg in backup_read_vg fn (otherwise it's
part of the VG we're returning and we definitely don't want to destroy it!).
This is essential for proper format instance ref_count support. We must
use these functions to set the fid everywhere from now on, even the NULL
value!
We'd like to use the fid mempool for text_context that is stored
in the instance (we used cmd mempool before, so the order of
initialisation was not a matter, but now it is since we need to
create the fid mempool first which happens in create_instance fn).
The text_context initialisation is not needed anywhere outside the
create_instance fn so move it there.
Format instances can be created anytime on demand and it contains
metadata area information mostly (at least for now, but in the future,
we may store more things here to update/edit in a PV/VG). In case we
have lots of metadata areas, memory consumption will rise. Using cmd
context mempool is not quite optimal here because it is destroyed too
late. So let's use a separate mempool for format instances.
Reference counting is used because fids could be shared, e.g. each PV
has either a PV-based fid or VG-based fid. If it's VG-based, each PV has
a shared fid with the VG - a reference to VG's fid.
Create new function alloc_vg() to allocate VG structure.
It takes pool_name (for easier debugging).
and also take vg_name to futher simplify code.
Move remainder of _build_vg_from_pds to _pool_vg_read
and use vg memory pool for import functions.
(it's been using smem -> fid mempool -> cmd mempool)
(FIXME: remove mempool parameter for import functions and use vg).
Move remainder of the _build_vg to _format1_vg_read
We allow writing non-orphan PVs only for resize now. The "orphan PV" assert
in pv_write fn uses the "allow_non_orphan" parameter to control this assert.
However, we should find a more elaborate solution so we can remove this
restriction altogether (pv_write together with vg_write is not atomic, we
need to find a safe mechanism so there's an easy revert possible in case of
an error).
Add a small fix that preserves pe_start for lvm1 PVs when being converted.
(this fix needs to be replaced with something more clever, but let's have this working now)
