In process_each_{vg,lv,pv} when no vgname args are given,
the first step is to get a list of all vgid/vgname on the
system. This is exactly what lvmetad returns from a
vg_list request. The current code is doing a vg_lookup
on each VG after the vg_list and populating lvmcache with
the info for each VG. These preliminary vg_lookup's are
unnecessary, because they will be done again when the
processing functions call vg_read. This patch eliminates
the initial round of vg_lookup's, which can roughly cut in
half the number of lvmetad requests and save a lot of extra work.
Example:
/dev/loop0 and /dev/loop1 are duplicates,
created by copying one backing file to the
other.
'identity /dev/loopX' creates an identity
mapping for loopX named idmloopX, which
adds a duplicate for the named device.
The duplicate selection code for lvmetad is
incomplete, and lvmetad is disabled for this
example.

pv_write is called both to write orphans and to rewrite PV headers
of PVs in VGs. It needs to select the correct VG id so that the
internal cache state gets updated correctly.
It only affected commands that involved further steps after
the pv_write and was often masked because the metadata would
be re-read off disk and correct itself.
"Incorrect metadata area header checksum" warnings appeared.
Example:
Create vg1 containing dev1, dev2 and dev3.
Hide dev1 and dev2 from the system.
Fix up vg1 with vgreduce --removemissing.
Bring back dev1 and dev2.
In a single operation reinstate dev1 and dev2 into vg1 (vgextend).
Done as separate operations (automatically fix-up dev1 and dev2 as orphans,
then vgextend) it worked, but done all in one go the internal cache got
corrupted and warnings about checksum errors appeared.
Commit 80f4b4b803
introduced undesirable side-effects for lvm2app user
which happens to be our own python binding.
It appear obtaing pvs list keeps global lock.
So restricting this to VG_GLOBAL READ locks and skip
the drop skip if WRITE lock is held.
Refactor the recent metadata-reading optimisation patches.
Remove the recently-added cache fields from struct labeller
and struct format_instance.
Instead, introduce struct lvmcache_vgsummary to wrap the VG information
that lvmcache holds and add the metadata size and checksum to it.
Allow this VG summary information to be looked up by metadata size +
checksum. Adjust the debug log messages to make it clear when this
shortcut has been successful.
(This changes the optimisation slightly, and might be extendable
further.)
Add struct cached_vg_fmtdata to format-specific vg_read calls to
preserve state alongside the VG across separate calls and indicate
if the details supplied match, avoiding the need to read and
process the VG metadata again.
Fixes segfault when 'pvs' encounters two different PVs sharing the same
uuid but one an orphan, the other in a VG.
If VG_GLOBAL is held, there seems no point in doing a full scan more
than once.
If undesirable side-effects show up, we can try restricting this to
VG_GLOBAL READ locks. The original code dates back to 2.02.40.
A full search for duplicate PVs in the case of pvs -a
is only necessary when duplicates have previously been
detected in lvmcache. Use a global variable from lvmcache
to indicate that duplicate PVs exist, so we can skip the
search for duplicates when none exist.
When multiple duplicate devices are specified on the
command line, the PV is processed once for each of them,
but pv->dev is the device used each time.
This overrides the PV device to reflect the duplicate
device that was specified on the command line. This is
done by hacking the lvmcache to replace pv->dev with the
device of the duplicate being processed. (It would be
preferable to override pv->dev without munging the content
of the cache, and without sprinkling special cases throughout
the code.)
This override only applies when multiple duplicate devices are
specified on the command line. When only a single duplicate
device of pv->dev is specified, the priority is to display the
cached pv->dev, so pv->dev is not overridden by the named
duplicate device.
In the examples below, loop3 is the cached device referenced
by pv->dev, and is given priority for processing. Only after
loop3 is processed/displayed, will other duplicate devices
loop0/loop1 appear (when requested on the command line.)
With two duplicate devices, loop0 and loop3:

Processes a PV once for each time a device with its PV ID
exists on the command line.
This fixes a regression in the case where:
. devices /dev/sdA and /dev/sdB where clones (same PV ID)
. the cached VG references /dev/sdA
. before the regression, the command: pvs /dev/sdB
would display the cached device clone /dev/sdA
. after the regression, pvs /dev/sdB would display nothing,
causing vgimportclone /dev/sdB to fail.
. with this fix, pvs /dev/sdB displays /dev/sdA
Also, pvs /dev/sdA /dev/sdB will report two lines, one for each
device on the command line, but /dev/sdA is displayed for each.
This only works without lvmetad.
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.
Recent debug tracing commit introduce read of uninitialized memory,
since VGID is not really a proper string which ends with '\0'.
Enforce at most 32 (ID_LEN) chars are read from vgid.
(in release fix)
Since commit f12ee43f2e call destroy,
it start to check all VGs are unlocked. However when we become_daemon,
we simply reset locking (since lock is still kept by parent process).
So implement a simple 'reset' flag.
Decorate NULL returns with debug_cache output so the
debug log doesn't contain spurios <bactrace> line without
any reason for it.
Add internal errors when cache is misused.
Several fields used to display 0 if undefined. Recent changes
to the way the fields are reported threw away some tests for
valid pointers, leading to segfaults with 'pvs -o all'.
Reinstate the original behaviour.
If a PV in an existing VG becomes orphaned (with 'pvcreate -ff', for
example) the VG struct cached against its vginfo must be invalidated.
This is because the struct device it references no longer contains
the PV label so becomes incorrect.
This triggers the error:
Internal error: PV $dev unexpectedly not in cache.
when the PV from the cached VG metadata is subsequently looked up
in the cache.
Bug introduced in 2.02.87 by commit 7ad0d47c3c
("Cache and share generated VG structs").

All labellers always use the "private" (void *) field as the fmt pointer. Making
this fact explicit in the type of the labeller simplifies the label reporting
code which needs to extract the format. Moreover, it removes a number of
error-prone casts from the code.
Changes:
- move device type registration out of "type filter" (filter.c)
to a separate and new dev-type.[ch] for common use throughout the code
- the structure for keeping the major numbers detected for available
device types and available partitioning available is stored in
"dev_types" structure now
- move common partitioning detection code to dev-type.[ch] as well
together with other device-related functions bound to dev_types
(see dev-type.h for the interface)
The dev-type interface contains all common functions used to detect
subsystems/device types, signature/superblock recognition code,
type-specific device properties and other common device properties
(bound to dev_types), including partitioning support.
- add dev_types instance to cmd context as cmd->dev_types for common use
- use cmd->dev_types throughout as a central point for providing
information about device types
Last commit made dump filter only partially composable.
Add remaining functionality and also support composable wipe,
which is needed, when i.e. vgscan needs to remove cache.
(in release fix)
New tools with PV header extension support will read the extension
if it exists and it's not an error if it does not exist (so old PVs
will still work seamlessly with new tools).
Old tools without PV header extension support will just ignore any
extension.
As for the Embedding Area location information (its start and size),
there are actually two places where this is stored:
- PV header extension
- VG metadata
The VG metadata contains a copy of what's written in the PV header
extension about the Embedding Area location (NULL value is not copied):
physical_volumes {
pv0 {
id = "AkSSRf-difg-fCCZ-NjAN-qP49-1zzg-S0Fd4T"
device = "/dev/sda" # Hint only
status = ["ALLOCATABLE"]
flags = []
dev_size = 262144 # 128 Megabytes
pe_start = 67584
pe_count = 23 # 92 Megabytes
ea_start = 2048
ea_size = 65536 # 32 Megabytes
}
}
The new metadata fields are "ea_start" and "ea_size".
This is mostly useful when restoring the PV by using existing
metadata backups (e.g. pvcreate --restorefile ...).
New tools does not require these two fields to exist in VG metadata,
they're not compulsory. Therefore, reading old VG metadata which doesn't
contain any Embedding Area information will not end up with any kind
of error but only a debug message that the ea_start and ea_size values
were not found.
Old tools just ignore these extra fields in VG metadata.
PV header extension comes just beyond the existing PV header base:
PV header base (existing):
- uuid
- device size
- null-terminated list of Data Areas
- null-terminater list of MetaData Areas
PV header extension:
- extension version
- flags
- null-terminated list of Embedding Areas
This patch also adds "eas" (Embedding Areas) list to lvmcache (lvmcache_info)
and it also adds support for common operations on the list (just like for
already existing "das" - Data Areas list):
- lvmcache_add_ea
- lvmcache_update_eas
- lvmcache_foreach_ea
- lvmcache_del_eas
Also, add ea_start and ea_size to struct physical_volume for processing
PV Embedding Area location throughout the code (currently only one
Embedding Area is supported, though the definition on disk allows for
more if needed in the future...).
Also, define FMT_EAS format flag to mark that the format actually
supports Embedding Areas (currently format-text only).
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().
Properly detect if the filters were refreshed properly.
(May needs few more fixes ??)
Filter refresh may fail because it may be out of free file descriptors
when clvmd gets overloaded.
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.
Add config option to enable crc checking of VG structures.
Currently it's disabled by default.
For the internal test-suite this check it is enabled.
Note: In the case the internal error is detected, debug build with
compile option DEBUG_ENFORCE_POOL_LOCKING helps to catch the source
of the problem.
Use debug pool locking functionality. So the command could check,
whether the memory in the pool has not been modified.
For lv_postoder() instead of unlocking and locking for every changed
struct status member do it once when entering and leaving function.
(mprotect would trap each such memory access).
Currently lv_postoder() does not modify other part of vg structure
then status flags of each LV with flags that are reverted back to
its original state after function exit.
Extend vginfo cache with cached VG structure. So if the same metadata
are use, skip mda decoding in the case, the same data are in use.
This helps for operations like activation of all LVs in one VG,
where same data were decoded giving the same output result.
Patch adds 1-to-1 connection between volume_group and lvmcache_vginfo.
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.
Instead of regenerating config tree and parsing same data again,
check whether export_vg_to_buffer does not produce same string as
the one already cached - in this case keep it, otherwise throw cached
content away.
For the code simplicity calling _free_cached_vgmetadata() with
vgmetadata == NULL as the function handles this itself.
Note: sometimes export_vg_to_buffer() generates almost the same data
with just different time stamp, but for the patch simplicity,
data are reparsed in this case.
This patch currently helps for vgrefresh.
Invalid primary_vginfo was supposed to move all its lvmcache_infos to
orphan_vginfo - however it has called _drop_vginfo() inside the loop
that released primary_vginfo itself - thus made the loop using released
memory.
Use _vginfo_detach_info() instead and call _drop_vginfo after
th loop is finished.

New strategy for memory locking to decrease the number of call to
to un/lock memory when processing critical lvm functions.
Introducing functions for critical section.
Inside the critical section - memory is always locked.
When leaving the critical section, the memory stays locked
until memlock_unlock() is called - this happens with
sync_local_dev_names() and sync_dev_names() function call.
memlock_reset() is needed to reset locking numbers after fork
(polldaemon).
The patch itself is mostly rename:
memlock_inc -> critical_section_inc
memlock_dec -> critical_section_dec
memlock -> critical_section
Daemons (clmvd, dmevent) are using memlock_daemon_inc&dec
(mlockall()) thus they will never release or relock memory they've
already locked memory.
Macros sync_local_dev_names() and sync_dev_names() are functions.
It's better for debugging - and also we do not need to add memlock.h
to locking.h header (for memlock_unlock() prototyp).
Change function import_vg_from_buffer() to import_vg_from_config_tree().
Instead of creating config tree inside the function allow config tree to
be passed as parameter - usable later for caching.
Set cmd->independent_metadata_areas if metadata/dirs or disk_areas in use.
- Identify and record this state.
Don't skip full scan when independent mdas are present even if memlock is set.
- Clusters and OOM aren't supported, so no problem doing the proper scans.
Avoid revalidating the label cache immediately after scanning.
- A simple optimisation.
Support scanning for a single VG in independent mdas.
- Not used by the fix but I left it in anyway as later patches might use it.
With the addition of ignored mdas, we replace all checks for an empty
mda list with a new function to look for either an empty mda list or

the device cache file is dumped both in vgscan and clvmd process.
Unfortunately, clvmd calls lvmcache_label_scan,
it properly destroys persistent filter, but during
persistent_filter_dump it merges old cache content back!
This causes that change in filters is not properly propagated
into device cache after vgscan on cluster.
(Only new devices are added.)

vg_validate call is an adept to optimisation, it is very
ineeficient and slow.
Anyway, we should call it only before writing data to disk.
The call in lvmcache was just temporary validation,
we realy do not need to revalidate cached metadata
every time.
(Actually, I added that there just to prove that cache works
properly and forgot to remove it.)
Patch removes it from lvmcache completely, this can hit only
internal bug in export function (and this bug must
be detected in any vg_write call anyway before).
where we should not expose internal VG names/uuids (the ones with "#" prefix )through the
interface. Otherwise, we could end up with library users opening internal VGs which will
initiate locking mechanism that won't be cleaned up properly.
"#orphans_{lvm1, lvm2, pool}" names are treated in a special way, they are truncated first
to "orphans" and this is used as a part of the lock name then (e.g. while calling lvm_vg_open()).
When library user calls lvm_vg_close(), the original name "orphans_{lvm1, lvm2, pool}"
is used directly and therefore no unlock occurs.
We should exclude internal VG names and uuids in the lists provided by lvmcache:
lvmcache_get_vgids() and lvmcache_get_vgnames().
Upon successful fork(), _become_daemon() must assert that the locks that
are currently held belong to the parent, not the child. All of the
child's internal state saying 'this process holds a lock' has to be
reset.
A proper lvmcache_locking_reset() should follow later.
- Add drop_precommitted flag to force drop precommitted metadata
- add lvmcache_commit_metadata() which upgrades precommitted metadata in cache
No functional change in this patch - just preparation for following change.
The sysfs filter initialise hash of available devices using
scan of /sys/block. We need to refresh even this hash
when performing full scan otherwise the newly appeared
device could be rejected, because there is no entry
in sysfs filter.
This easily could happen when attaching new device
to cluster node. (Only force refresh of context
in clvmd -R works here now).
Unfortunately consequences of this are much worse,
missing device part on that node is replaced with missing segment
(even when no partial arg is selected) and this directly
lead to data corruption.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=538515
Simply fix it by refreshing device filters in lvmcache
before performing the full device scan.
The DRBD uses underlying device so code should prefer top
device if duplicate is found.
Patch also introduce
dev_subsystem_part_major and dev_subsytem_name
functions to easily handle all these replication susbystems
and not hardcode md_major call.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=530881
for full problem description.
This patch is all just cleanup and no other patch depends on it.
Replace explicit dereference and check with vg_is_exported().
Update a few copyrights and remove unnecessary whitespace.
Should be no functional change.
Add a new constraint that vgname locks must be obtained in
alphabetical order. At this point, we have test coverage for
the 3 commands affected - vgsplit, vgmerge, and vgrename.
Tests have been updated to cover these commands.
Going forward any command or library call that must obtain
more than one vgname lock must do so in alphabetical order.
Future patches will update lvm2app to enforce this ordering.

The two liblvm functions that return a list of vgnames and vguuids use
cmd->mem to allocate the list. Make it clear to the caller that this
memory will be freed when the LVM handle is freed.
Clean up and clarify the return value of the functions. In the
case of a memory allocation error, add a couple log_errnos to the internal
code, and make it clear that memory allocation returns a NULL pointer.
If there are no VGs in the system, the list returned is an empty list.
Make a note of the fact that currently we return hidden VG names, how
these can be detected (always start with "#"), and that they should
not be used.

event-driven model. Without changes to the way the cache gets updated, the
option is currently unreliable without a global lock to prevent any lvm2
commands from running concurrently.
Fix some memory leaks in error paths found by coverity.
Use C99 struct initialisers.
Move DEFS into configure.h.
Clean-ups to remove miscellaneous compiler warnings.
