Move test for size of new LV names in front before
any creation of LV.
Properly check striped segtype kernel presence,
since passed 'segtype' is already tested.
Keep deactivation error path local to wiping part of the function.
Create metadata with temporary flag (it's activated, zeroed
and deactivated).
Introduce new option to specify pool data size.
This will be user to create i.e. cache & cachepool at once.
And possible for thin external origin snapshot.
This is only very basic patch to enable options, the
real working code will come later.
We want to print smarter warning message only when
the zeroing was not provided on the first zeroable segment
of newly created LV.
Put warning within _should_wipe_lv function to avoid reevaluation
of same conditions twice.
Hide creation of temporary LVs and print them only in verbose mode.
e.g. hides confusing message about creation of _pmspare
device during creation of pool.
Use new libdm macro DM_LIST_HEAD_INIT().
Embeded 'free' segment type (so it's not needed in the list)
Drop assignments of 0,NULL since they are defaults.
Ask for lock the proper LV.
Use the top-most LV to query for locally exclusive lock.
The rest of operations are then using 'lv_info()'
TODO:
Check all devices are reloaded from proper level.
In general any query on lv_is_active is supposed to be running
ona lv_lock_holder() volume.
Now we reference segment name via lvseg_name() and
we can drop default implementation and leave its
function pointer to be NULL.
Default give us 'return seg->segtype->name'.
Instead of segtype->ops->name() introduce lvseg_name().
This also allows us to leave name() function 'empty' for default
return of segtype->name.
TODO: add functions for rest of ops->
There was a bug in value and their synonym definition for these two fields
causing selections on these fields to not work correctly - nothing matched
against vg/lv_permissions fields even if selection criteria should have
matched.
Scenario:
$ lvs -o name,lv_permissions vg
LV LPerms
lvol0 read-only
lvol1 writeable
Before this patch:
$ lvs -o name,lv_permissions vg -S 'permissions=read-only'
(blank)
$ lvs -o name,lv_permissions vg -S 'permissions=writeable
(blank)
With this patch applied:
$ lvs -o name,lv_permissions vg -S 'permissions=read-only'
LV LPerms
lvol0 read-only
$ lvs -o name,lv_permissions vg -S 'permissions=writeable'
LV LPerms
lvol1 writeable
Also synonyms match correctly now:
$ lvs -o name,lv_permissions vg -S 'permissions=rw'
LV LPerms
lvol1 writeable
We can't hang on blocked or suspended devices when the scan is done
for lvmetad update - when the device gets unblocked or resumed, there's
always CHANGE event generated which will fire the udev rule to run
extra pvscan --cache for that device which makes sure that lvmetad
is up-to-date.
When we are given an existing LV name - it needs to be allowed
to pass in even restricted name as the LV could have existed
long before we introduced some new restriction on prefix/suffix.i
Fix the regression on name limits and drop restriction to be applied
on any existing LVs - only the new created LV names have to be
complient with current name restrictions.
FIXME: we are currently using restricted names incorrectly in few
other places - device_is_usable() skips restricted names,
and udev flags are also incorrectly set for restricted names
so these LVs are not getting links properly.
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.]
Process PVs by iterating through VGs, then iterating through
devices if the command needs to process non-PV devices.
The process_single function can always use the VG and PV args.
[Committed by agk with cosmetic changes and tweaks.]
Introduce pool function for validation of chunk size.
It's good idea to be able to reject invalid chunk size
when entered on command line before we open VG.
Move code to better locations.
Improve test and remove invalid ones
(i.e. no reason to require cache size to be >= then origin).
Correctly comment where the code is doing actual conversion
of other existing volume - we do already a similar thing with
external origins.
Lots of new command line options and combinations is now supported.
Hopefully older syntax still works as well.
lvcreate --cache --cachepool vg/pool -l1
lvcreate --type cache --cachepool vg/pool -l1
lvcreate --type cache-pool vg/pool -l1
lvcreate --type cache-pool --name pool vg -l1
... and many many more ...
Since _pmspare is internal volume move it to
lv_remove_single - so it's automatically removed with
last remove thin-pool.
lv_remove_with_dependencies() is not always used for pool removal.
The cache mode of a new cache pool is always explicitly
included in the vg metadata. If a cache mode is not
specified on the command line, the cache mode is taken
from lvm.conf allocation/cache_pool_cachemode, which
defaults to "writethrough".
The cache mode can be displayed with lvs -o+cachemode.
filters/filter-usable.c:22: warning: "ucp.check_..." may be used uninitialized in this function
This can't actually be hit in real, but let's clean this up for the compiler
to be happy again.
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.
We need to use proper filter chain when we disable lvmetad use
explicitly in the code by calling lvmetad_set_active(0) while
overriding existing configuration. We need to reinitialize filters
in this case so proper filter chain is used. The same applies
for the other way round - when we enable lvmetad use explicitly in
the code (though this is not yet used).
With this change, the filter chains used look like this now:
A) When *lvmetad is not used*:
- persistent filter -> regex filter -> sysfs filter ->
global regex filter -> type filter ->
usable device filter(FILTER_MODE_NO_LVMETAD) ->
mpath component filter -> partitioned filter ->
md component filter
B) When *lvmetad is used* (two separate filter chains):
- the lvmetad filter chain used when scanning devs for lvmetad update:
sysfs filter -> global regex filter -> type filter ->
usable device filter(FILTER_MODE_PRE_LVMETAD) ->
mpath component filter -> partitioned filter ->
md component filter
- the filter chain used for lvmetad responses:
persistent filter -> usable device filter(FILTER_MODE_POST_LVMETAD) ->
regex filter
Usable device filter is responsible for filtering out unusable DM devices.
The filter has 3 modes of operation:
- FILTER_MODE_NO_LVMETAD:
When this mode is used, we check DM device usability by looking:
- whether device is empty
- whether device is blocked
- whether device is suspended (only on devices/ignore_suspended_devices=1)
- whether device uses an error target
- whether device name/uuid is reserved
- FILTER_MODE_PRE_LVMETAD:
When this mode is used, we check DM device usability by looking:
- whether device is empty
- whether device is suspended (only on devices/ignore_suspended_devices=1)
- whether device uses an error target
- whether device name/uuid is reserved
- FILTER_MODE_POST_LVMETAD:
When this mode is used, we check DM device usability by looking:
- whether device is blocked
- whether device is suspended (only on devices/ignore_suspended_devices=1)
These modes will be used by subsequent patch to create different
instances of this filter, depending on lvmetad use.
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.
When compiled with valgrind pool support - don't waste time
with preallocation of memory - it just waste of CPU cycles to
trace access to this memory.
We also may get slightly better estimation about real memory usage
during command processing.
We are not using already defined segement type names where we could.
There is a lot of other places in device-mapper and LVM2 we have those
hardcoded so we should better finally have a common interface in
libdevmapper to avoid this.
Use of lv_info() internally in lv_check_not_in_use(),
so it always could use with_open_count properly.
Skip sysfs() testing in open_count == 0 case.
Accept just 'lv' pointer like other functions.
The function has 'built-in' lv_is_active_locally check,
which however is not what we need to check in many place.
For now at least remotely active snapshot merge is
detected and for this case merge on next activation is scheduled.
We use adjusted_mirror_region_size() in two different contexts.
Either on command line -
here we do want to inform user about reduction of size.
Or in pvmove activation context -
here we should only use 'verbose' info.
When requesting to reload an LV imrove this API to
automatically reload its lock holding LV as in cluster
only top-level LVs are addressable with lock.
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.
Do not let fly metadata with just 'minor' set
(since they would not be readable on older version)
Be permissive with invalid major/minor number and
just report them as problem, but allow to use
such metadata with default major:minor.
Use nice instruction_HLT macro
Use log_debug_mem()
Don't actually log things after we prohibit 'mmap'.
Move initialization of strerror & udev before blocking mmap.
Add code to trap both mmap implementation on 32bit arch.
Use dlsym()
Use hlt instraction instead of int3 - generates usable stack trace
when problem is catched.
If we want to support conversion of VG to clustered type,
we currently need to relock active LV to get proper DLM lock.
So add extra loop after change of VG clustered attribute
to exlusively activate all active top level LVs.
When doing change -cy -> -cn we should validate LVs are not
active on other cluster nodes - we could be sure about this only
when with local exclusive activation - for other types
we require user to deactivate volumes first.
As a workaround for this limitation there is always
locking_type = 0 which amongs other skip the detection
of active LVs.
FIXME:
clvmd should handle looks for cluster locking type all the time.
While we could probably reacquire some type of lock when
going from non-clustered to clustered vg, we don't have any
single road back to drop the lock and keep LV active.
For now keep it safe and prohibit conversion when LV
is active in the VG.
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.
Caused by recent changes - a7be3b12df.
If global filter was not defined, then part of the code
creating composite filter (the cmd->lvmetad_filter) incorrectly
increased index value even if this global filter was not created
as part of the composite filter. This caused a gap with "NULL"
value in the composite filter array which ended up with the rest
of the filters after the gap to be ignored and also it caused a mem
leak when destroying the composite filter.
We used to print an error message whenever we tried to deal with devices that
lvmetad knew about but were rejected by a client-side filter. Instead, we now
check whether the device is actually absent or only filtered out and only print
a warning in the latter case.
If a PV label is exposed both through a composite device (MD for example) and
through its component devices, we always want the PV that lvmetad sees to be the
composite, since this is what all LVM commands (including activation) will then
use. If pvscan --cache is triggered for multiple clones of the same PV, the last
to finish wins. This patch basically re-arranges the filters so that
component-device filters are part of the global_filter chain, not of the
client-side filter chain. This has a subtle effect on filter evaluation order,
but should not alter visible semantics in the non-lvmetad case.
The code in dev_iter_create assumes that if a filter can be wiped, doing so will
always trigger a call to _full_scan. This is not true for composite filters
though, since they can always be wiped in principle, but there is no way to know
that a component filter inside will exist that actually triggers the scan.
Use lv_update_and_reload() and lv_update_and_reload_origin()
to handle write/suspend/commit/resume sequence.
In few places this properly handle vg_revert() after suspend failure,
and also ensures there is metadata backup after successful vg_commit().
Fix rename operation for snapshot (cow) LV.
Only the snapshot's origin has the lock and by mistake suspend
and resume has been called for the snapshot LV.
This further made volumes unusable in cluster.
So instead of suspend and resuming list of LVs,
we need to just suspend and resume origin.
As the sequence write/suspend/commit/resume
is widely used in lvm2 code base - move it to
new lv_update_and_reload function.
Coverity noticed this function may return untouched buffer,
however in this state can't really happen, but anyway
ensure on error path the buffer will have zero lenght string.
Fixing problem, when user sets volume_list and excludes thin pools
from activation. In this case pool return 'success' for skipped activation.
We need to really check the volume it is actually active to properly
to remove queued pool messages. Otherwise the lvm2 and kernel
metadata started to go async since lvm2 believed, messages were submitted.
Add also better check for threshold when create a new thin volume.
In this case we require local activation of thin pool so we are able
to check pool fullness.
This patch makes the keyword combinations found in "lv_layout" and
"lv_role" much more understandable - there were some ambiguities
for some of the combinations which lead to confusion before.
Now, the scheme used is:
LAYOUTS ("how the LV is laid out"):
===================================
[linear] (all segments have number of stripes = 1)
[striped] (all segments have number of stripes > 1)
[linear,striped] (mixed linear and striped)
raid (raid layout always reported together with raid level, raid layout == image + metadata LVs underneath that make up raid LV)
[raid,raid1]
[raid,raid10]
[raid,raid4]
[raid,raid5] (exact sublayout not specified during creation - default one used - raid5_ls)
[raid,raid5,raid5_ls]
[raid,raid5,raid6_rs]
[raid,raid5,raid5_la]
[raid,raid5,raid5_ra]
[raid6,raid] (exact sublayout not specified during creation - default one used - raid6_zr)
[raid,raid6,raid6_zr]
[raid,raid6,raid6_nc]
[raid,raid6,raid6_ns]
[mirror] (mirror layout == log + image LVs underneath that make up mirror LV)
thin (thin layout always reported together with sublayout)
[thin,sparse] (thin layout == allocated out of thin pool)
[thin,pool] (thin pool layout == data + metadata volumes underneath that make up thin pool LV, not supposed to be used for direct use!!!)
[cache] (cache layout == allocated out of cache pool in conjunction with cache origin)
[cache,pool] (cache pool layout == data + metadata volumes underneath that make up cache pool LV, not supposed to be used for direct use!!!)
[virtual] (virtual layout == not hitting disk underneath, currently this layout denotes only 'zero' device used for origin,thickorigin role)
[unknown] (either error state or missing recognition for such layout)
ROLES ("what's the purpose or use of the LV - what is its role"):
=================================================================
- each LV has either of these two roles at least: [public] (public LV that users may use freely to write their data to)
[public] (public LV that users may use freely to write their data to)
[private] (private LV that LVM maintains; not supposed to be directly used by user to write his data to)
- and then some special-purpose roles in addition to that:
[origin,thickorigin] (origin for thick-style snapshot; "thick" as opposed to "thin")
[origin,multithickorigin] (there are more than 2 thick-style snapshots for this origin)
[origin,thinorigin] (origin for thin snapshot)
[origin,multithinorigin] (there are more than 2 thin snapshots for this origin)
[origin,extorigin] (external origin for thin snapshot)
[origin,multiextoriginl (there are more than 2 thin snapshots using this external origin)
[origin,cacheorigin] (cache origin)
[snapshot,thicksnapshot] (thick-style snapshot; "thick" as opposed to "thin")
[snapshot,thinsnapshot] (thin-style snapshot)
[raid,metadata] (raid metadata LV)
[raid,image] (raid image LV)
[mirror,image] (mirror image LV)
[mirror,log] (mirror log LV)
[pvmove] (pvmove LV)
[thin,pool,data] (thin pool data LV)
[thin,pool,metadata] (thin pool metadata LV)
[cache,pool,data] (cache pool data LV)
[cache,pool,metadata] (cache pool metadata LV)
[pool,spare] (pool spare LV - common role of LV that makes it used for both thin and cache repairs)
This makes it a bit more readable since we can report more general
layouts/roles first and keywords describing the LV more precisely
afterwards in the list.
The 'lv_type' field name was a bit misleading. Better one is 'lv_role'
since this fields describes what's the actual use of the LV currently -
its 'role'.
Sort out the lvresize calculation code to handle size changes
specified as physical extents as well as logical extents
and to process mirror resizing and raid extensions correctly.
The 'approx alloc' option was masking the underlying problem.
Avoid playing with +1.
PATH_MAX code needs probably more thinking anyway, since
there is no MAX path in Linux - user may easily create path
with 64kB chars - so 4kB buffer is surelly not enough for
such dirs.
Note:
http://insanecoding.blogspot.cz/2007/11/pathmax-simply-isnt.html
The lv_type_name function is remnant from old code that reported
only single string for the LV type. LV types are now reported
in a more extended way as keyword list that describe the type
precisely (using lv_layout_and_type fn).
The lv_type_name was used in some error messages to display the
type of the LV so just reinstate the old messages back referencing
the type directly with a string - this is enough for error messages.
They don't need to display the LV type as precisely as it's used
on lvs output (which is optimized for selection anyway).
$ lvs -a -o name,vg_name,attr,layout,type
LV VG Attr Layout Type
lvol0 vg -wI-a----- linear linear
[pvmove0] vg p-C-aom--- mirror mirror,pvmove
(added "mirror" for pvmove LV)
$ lvs -a -o name,vg_name,attr,layout,type
LV VG Attr Layout Type
lvol0 vg ori------- linear external,multiple,origin,thin
[lvol1_pmspare] vg ewi------- linear metadata,pool,spare
lvol2 vg Vwi-a-tz-- thin snapshot,thin
lvol3 vg Vwi-a-tz-- thin snapshot,thin
pool vg twi-a-tz-- pool,thin pool,thin
[pool_tdata] vg Twi-ao---- linear data,pool,thin
[pool_tmeta] vg ewi-ao---- linear metadata,pool,thin
(added "multiple" for external origin used for more than one
thin snapshot - lvol0 in the example above)
Thin snapshots having external origins missed the "snapshot" keyword for
lv_type field. Also, thin external origins which are thin devices (from
another pool) were not recognized properly.
For example, external origin itself can be either non-thin volume (lvol0
below) or it can be a thin volume from another pool (lvol3 below):
Before this patch:
$ lvs -o name,vg_name,attr,pool_lv,origin,layout,type
Internal error: Failed to properly detect layout and type for for LV vg/lvol3
Internal error: Failed to properly detect layout and type for for LV vg/lvol3

lvol0 vg ori------- linear external,origin,thin
lvol2 vg Vwi-a-tz-- pool lvol0 thin thin
lvol3 vg ori---tz-- pool unknown external,origin,thin,thin
lvol4 vg Vwi-a-tz-- pool1 lvol3 thin thin
pool vg twi-a-tz-- pool,thin pool,thin
pool1 vg twi-a-tz-- pool,thin pool,thin
- lvol2 as well as lvol4 have missing "snapshot" in type field
- lvol3 has unrecognized layout (should be "thin"), but has double
"thin" in lv_type which is incorrect
- (also there's double "for" in the internal error message)
With this patch applied:
$ lvs -o name,vg_name,attr,pool_lv,origin,layout,type
LV VG Attr Pool Origin Layout Type
lvol0 vg ori------- linear external,origin,thin
lvol2 vg Vwi-a-tz-- pool lvol0 thin snapshot,thin
lvol3 vg ori---tz-- pool thin external,origin,thin
lvol4 vg Vwi-a-tz-- pool1 lvol3 thin snapshot,thin
pool vg twi-a-tz-- pool,thin pool,thin
pool1 vg twi-a-tz-- pool,thin pool,thin
The maximum stripe size is equal to the volume group PE size. If that
size falls below the STRIPE_SIZE_MIN, the creation of RAID 4/5/6 volumes
becomes impossible. (The kernel will fail to load a RAID 4/5/6 mapping
table with a stripe size less than STRIPE_SIZE_MIN.) So, we report an
error if it is attempted.
This is very rare because reducing the PE size down that far limits the
size of the PV below that of modern devices.
metadata/lv_manip.c:269: warning: declaration of "snapshot_count" shadows a global declaration
There's existing function called "snapshot_count" so rename the
variable to "snap_count".
The lv_layout and lv_type fields together help with LV identification.
We can do basic identification using the lv_attr field which provides
very condensed view. In contrast to that, the new lv_layout and lv_type
fields provide more detialed information on exact layout and type used
for LVs.
For top-level LVs which are pure types not combined with any
other LV types, the lv_layout value is equal to lv_type value.
For non-top-level LVs which may be combined with other types,
the lv_layout describes the underlying layout used, while the
lv_type describes the use/type/usage of the LV.
These two new fields are both string lists so selection (-S/--select)
criteria can be defined using the list operators easily:
[] for strict matching
{} for subset matching.
For example, let's consider this:
$ lvs -a -o name,vg_name,lv_attr,layout,type
LV VG Attr Layout Type
[lvol1_pmspare] vg ewi------- linear metadata,pool,spare
pool vg twi-a-tz-- pool,thin pool,thin
[pool_tdata] vg rwi-aor--- level10,raid data,pool,thin
[pool_tdata_rimage_0] vg iwi-aor--- linear image,raid
[pool_tdata_rimage_1] vg iwi-aor--- linear image,raid
[pool_tdata_rimage_2] vg iwi-aor--- linear image,raid
[pool_tdata_rimage_3] vg iwi-aor--- linear image,raid
[pool_tdata_rmeta_0] vg ewi-aor--- linear metadata,raid
[pool_tdata_rmeta_1] vg ewi-aor--- linear metadata,raid
[pool_tdata_rmeta_2] vg ewi-aor--- linear metadata,raid
[pool_tdata_rmeta_3] vg ewi-aor--- linear metadata,raid
[pool_tmeta] vg ewi-aor--- level1,raid metadata,pool,thin
[pool_tmeta_rimage_0] vg iwi-aor--- linear image,raid
[pool_tmeta_rimage_1] vg iwi-aor--- linear image,raid
[pool_tmeta_rmeta_0] vg ewi-aor--- linear metadata,raid
[pool_tmeta_rmeta_1] vg ewi-aor--- linear metadata,raid
thin_snap1 vg Vwi---tz-k thin snapshot,thin
thin_snap2 vg Vwi---tz-k thin snapshot,thin
thin_vol1 vg Vwi-a-tz-- thin thin
thin_vol2 vg Vwi-a-tz-- thin multiple,origin,thin
Which is a situation with thin pool, thin volumes and thin snapshots.
We can see internal 'pool_tdata' volume that makes up thin pool has
actually a level10 raid layout and the internal 'pool_tmeta' has
level1 raid layout. Also, we can see that 'thin_snap1' and 'thin_snap2'
are both thin snapshots while 'thin_vol1' is thin origin (having
multiple snapshots).
Such reporting scheme provides much better base for selection criteria
in addition to providing more detailed information, for example:
$ lvs -a -o name,vg_name,lv_attr,layout,type -S 'type=metadata'
LV VG Attr Layout Type
[lvol1_pmspare] vg ewi------- linear metadata,pool,spare
[pool_tdata_rmeta_0] vg ewi-aor--- linear metadata,raid

(selected all LVs with raid level1 layout exactly)
And so on...
_pvcreate_check() has two missing requirements:
After refreshing filters there must be a rescan.
(Otherwise the persistent filter may remain empty.)
After wiping a signature, the filters must be refreshed.
(A device that was previously excluded by the filter due to
its signature might now need to be included.)
If several devices are added at once, the repeated scanning isn't
strictly needed, but we can address that later as part of the command
processing restructuring (by grouping the devices).
Replace the new pvcreate code added by commit
54685c20fc "filters: fix regression caused
by commit e80884cd080cad7e10be4588e3493b9000649426"
with this change to _pvcreate_check().
The filter refresh problem dates back to commit
acb4b5e4de "Fix pvcreate device check."
If using persistent filter and we're refreshing filters (just like we
do for pvcreate now after commit 54685c20fc),
we can't rely on getting the primary device of the partition from the cache
as such device could be already filtered by persistent filter and we get
a device cache lookup failure for such device.
For example:
$ lvm dumpconfig --type diff
devices {
obtain_device_list_from_udev=0
}
$lsblk /dev/sda
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 128M 0 disk
`-sda1 8:1 0 127M 0 part
$cat /etc/lvm/cache/.cache | grep sda
"/dev/sda1",
$pvcreate /dev/sda1
dev_is_mpath: failed to get device for 8:1
Physical volume "/dev/sda1" successfully created
The problematic part of the code called dev_cache_get_by_devt
to get the device for the device number supplied. Then the code
used dev_name(dev) to get the name which is then used in check
whether there's any mpath on top of this dev...
This patch uses sysfs to get the base name for the partition
instead, hence avoiding the device cache which is a correct
approach here.
The message "Cannot deactivate remotely exclusive device locally." makes
sense only for clustered LV. If the LV is non-clustered, then it's
always exclusive by definition and if it's already deactivated, this
message pops up inappropriately as those two conditions are met.
So issue the message only if the conditions are met AND we have clustered VG.
Commit e80884cd08 tried to dump filters
for them to be reevaluated when creating a PV to avoid overwriting
any existing signature that may have been created after last
scan/filtering.
However, we need to call refresh_filters instead of
persistent_filter->dump since dump requires proper rescannig to fill
up the persistent filter again. However, this is true only for pvcreate
but not for vgcreate with PV creation where the scanning happens before
this PV creation and hence the next rescan (if not full scan), does not
fill the persistent filter.
Also, move refresh_filters so that it's called sooner and only for
pvcreate, vgcreate already calls lvmcache_label_scan(cmd, 2) which
then calls refresh_filters itself, so no need to reevaluate this again.
This caused the persistent filter (/etc/lvm/cache/.cache file) to be
wrong and contain only the PV just being processed with
vgcreate <vg_name> <pv_name_to_create>.
This regression caused other block devices to be filtered out in case
the vgcreate with PV creation was used and then the persistent filter
is used by any other LVM command afterwards.
Make lvresize -l+%FREE support approximate allocation.
Move existing "Reducing/Extending' message to verbose level
and change it to say 'up to' if approximate allocation is being used.
Replace it with a new message that gives the actual old and new size or
says 'unchanged'.
This is addendum to commit 2e82a070f3
which fixed these spurious messages that appeared after commit
651d5093ed ("avoid pv_read in
find_pv_by_name").
There was one more "not found" message issued in case the device
could not be found in device cache (commit 2e82a07 fixed this only
for PV lookup itself). But if we "allow_unformatted" for
find_pv_by_name, we should not issue this message even in case
the device can't be found in dev cache as we just need to know
whether there's a PV or not for the code to decide on next steps
and we don't want to issue any messages if either device itself
is not found or PV is not found.
For example, when we were creating a new PV (and so allow_unformatted = 1)
and the device had a signature on it which caused it to be filtered
by device filter (e.g. MD signature if md filtering is enabled),
or it was part of some other subsystem (e.g. multipath), this message
was issued on find_pv_by_name call which was misleading.
Also, remove misleading "stack" call in case find_pv_by_name
returns NULL in pvcreate_check - any error state is reported
later by pvcreate_check code so no need to "stack" here.
There's one more and proper check to issue "not found" message if
the device can't be found in device cache within pvcreate_check fn
so this situation is still covered properly later in the code.
Before this patch (/dev/sda contains MD signature and is therefore filtered):
$ pvcreate /dev/sda
Physical volume /dev/sda not found
WARNING: linux_raid_member signature detected on /dev/sda at offset 4096. Wipe it? [y/n]:
With this patch applied:
$ pvcreate /dev/sda
WARNING: linux_raid_member signature detected on /dev/sda at offset 4096. Wipe it? [y/n]:
Non-existent devices are still caught properly:
$ pvcreate /dev/sdx
Device /dev/sdx not found (or ignored by filtering).
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.
Fix get_pool_params to only read params.
Add poolmetadataspare option to get_pool_params.
Move all profile code into update_pool_params.
Move recalculate code into pool_manip.c
Few unecessary comments were written to on-disc metadata.
Use outfc() to have comments only in archived files.
(may also save couple bytes in ringbuffer).
TODO: needed validation against newline char...
Cache pools are similar as with thin pools.
Add (needs %s) - since cache has currently
a bit strange need for extra few kb over
our default 4M extent size so make it more obvious.
When EOF is detect - it could be either 'Ctrl+C'
or empty stdin.
For Ctrl+C there is visual ^C sign.
For EOF print 'n' so decision is clear in debug print.
This is addendum for commit 6dc7b783c8.
LVM1 format stores the ALLOCATABLE flag directly in PV header, not
in VG metadata. So the code needs to be fixed further to work
properly for lvm1 format so that the correct PV header is written
(the flag is set only if the PV is in some VG, unset otherwise).
Before the patch:

The same for active_{locally,remotely,exclusively} fields.
Also, rename headings for these fields (ActLocal/ActRemote/ActExcl).
If the lv_info call fails for whatever reason/INFO dm ioctl fails or
the dm driver communication is disabled (--driverloaded n), make
sure we always display "unknown" for LVSINFO fields as that's exactly
what happens - we don't know the state.

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.
