Save the previous duplicate PVs in a global list instead
of a list on the cmd struct. dmeventd reuses the cmd struct
for multiple commands, and the list entries between commands
were being freed (apparently), causing a segfault in dmeventd
when it tried to use items in cmd->unused_duplicate_devs
that had been saved there by the previous command.
There have been two file locks used to protect lvm
"global state": "ORPHANS" and "GLOBAL".
Commands that used the ORPHAN flock in exclusive mode:
pvcreate, pvremove, vgcreate, vgextend, vgremove,
vgcfgrestore
Commands that used the ORPHAN flock in shared mode:
vgimportclone, pvs, pvscan, pvresize, pvmove,
pvdisplay, pvchange, fullreport
Commands that used the GLOBAL flock in exclusive mode:
pvchange, pvscan, vgimportclone, vgscan
Commands that used the GLOBAL flock in shared mode:
pvscan --cache, pvs
The ORPHAN lock covers the important cases of serializing
the use of orphan PVs. It also partially covers the
reporting of orphan PVs (although not correctly as
explained below.)
The GLOBAL lock doesn't seem to have a clear purpose
(it may have eroded over time.)
Neither lock correctly protects the VG namespace, or
orphan PV properties.
To simplify and correct these issues, the two separate
flocks are combined into the one GLOBAL flock, and this flock
is used from the locking sites that are in place for the
lvmlockd global lock.
The logic behind the lvmlockd (distributed) global lock is
that any command that changes "global state" needs to take
the global lock in ex mode. Global state in lvm is: the list
of VG names, the set of orphan PVs, and any properties of
orphan PVs. Reading this global state can use the global lock
in sh mode to ensure it doesn't change while being reported.
The locking of global state now looks like:
lockd_global()
previously named lockd_gl(), acquires the distributed
global lock through lvmlockd. This is unchanged.
It serializes distributed lvm commands that are changing
global state. This is a no-op when lvmlockd is not in use.
lockf_global()
acquires an flock on a local file. It serializes local lvm
commands that are changing global state.
lock_global()
first calls lockf_global() to acquire the local flock for
global state, and if this succeeds, it calls lockd_global()
to acquire the distributed lock for global state.
Replace instances of lockd_gl() with lock_global(), so that the
existing sites for lvmlockd global state locking are now also
used for local file locking of global state. Remove the previous
file locking calls lock_vol(GLOBAL) and lock_vol(ORPHAN).
The following commands which change global state are now
serialized with the exclusive global flock:
pvchange (of orphan), pvresize (of orphan), pvcreate, pvremove,
vgcreate, vgextend, vgremove, vgreduce, vgrename,
vgcfgrestore, vgimportclone, vgmerge, vgsplit
Commands that use a shared flock to read global state (and will
be serialized against the prior list) are those that use
process_each functions that are based on processing a list of
all VG names, or all PVs. The list of all VGs or all PVs is
global state and the shared lock prevents those lists from
changing while the command is processing them.
The ORPHAN lock previously attempted to produce an accurate
listing of orphan PVs, but it was only acquired at the end of
the command during the fake vg_read of the fake orphan vg.
This is not when orphan PVs were determined; they were
determined by elimination beforehand by processing all real
VGs, and subtracting the PVs in the real VGs from the list
of all PVs that had been identified during the initial scan.
This is fixed by holding the single global lock in shared mode
while processing all VGs to determine the list of orphan PVs.
This reverts 518a8e8cfb
"lvmlockd: activate mirror LVs in shared mode with cmirrord"
because while activating a mirror LV with cmirrord worked,
changes to the active cmirror did not work.
When lvextend extends an LV that is active with a shared
lock, use this as a signal that other hosts may also have
the LV active, with gfs2 mounted, and should have the LV
refreshed to reflect the new size. Use the libdlmcontrol
run api, which uses dlm_controld/corosync to run an
lvchange --refresh command on other cluster nodes.
Without this, the output from different commands in a single
log file could not be separated.
Change the default "indent" setting to 0 so that the default
debug output does not include variable spaces in the middle
of debug lines.
Save the list of PVs in /run/lvm/hints. These hints
are used to reduce scanning in a number of commands
to only the PVs on the system, or only the PVs in a
requested VG (rather than all devices on the system.)
The 'lvconvert LV' command def has caused multiple problems
for command matching because it matches the required options
of any lvconvert command. Any lvconvert with incorrect options
ends up matching 'lvconvert LV', which then produces an error
about incorrect options being used for 'lvconvert LV'. This
prevents suggestions from nearest-command partial command matches.
Add a special case for 'lvconvert LV' so that it won't be used
as a partial match for a command that has options specified.
Native disk scanning is now both reduced and
async/parallel, which makes it comparable in
performance (and often faster) when compared
to lvm using lvmetad.
Autoactivation now uses local temp files to record
online PVs, and no longer requires lvmetad.
There should be no apparent command-level change
in behavior.
It's no longer needed. Clustered VGs are now handled in
the same way as foreign VGs, and as shared VGs that
can't be accessed:
- A command processing all VGs sees a clustered VG,
prints a message ("Skipping clustered VG foo."),
skips it, and does not fail.
- A command where the clustered VG is explicitly
named on the command line, prints a message and fails.
"Cannot access clustered VG foo, see lvmlockd(8)."
The option is listed in the set of ignored options for
the commands that previously accepted it. (Removing it
entirely would cause commands/scripts to fail if they
set it.)
The previous method for forcibly changing a clustered VG
to a local VG involved using -cn and locking_type 0.
Since those options are deprecated, replace it with
the same command used for other forced lock type changes:
vgchange --locktype none --lockopt force.
The last commit related to this was incomplete:
"Implement lock-override options without locking type"
This is further reworking and reduction of the locking.[ch]
layer which handled all clustering, but is now only used
for file locking. The "locking types" that this layer
implemented were removed previously, leaving only the
standard file locking. (Some cluster-related artifacts
remain to be cleared out later.)
Command options to override or modify locking behavior
are reimplemented here without using the locking types.
Also, deprecated locking_type values are recognized,
and implemented as if one of the equivalent override
options was set.
Options that override file locking are:
. --nolocking disables all file locking.
. --readonly grants read lock requests without actually
taking a file lock, and refuses write lock requests.
. --ignorelockingfailure tries to set up file locks and
uses them normally if possible. When not possible, it
behaves like --readonly, but allows activation.
. --sysinit is the same as ignorelockingfailure.
. global/metadata_read_only acquires actual read file
locks, and refuses write lock requests.
(Some of these options could probably be deprecated
because they were added as workarounds to various
locking_type behaviors that are now deprecated.)
The locking_type setting now has one valid value: 1 which
refers to standard file locking. Configs that contain
deprecated values are recognized and still work in
largely the same way:
. 0 disabled all locking, now implemented like --nolocking
is set. Allow the nolocking option in all commands.
. 1 is the normal file locking setting and is unchanged.
. 2 was for external locking which was not used, and
reverts to normal file locking.
. 3 was for cluster/clvm. This reverts to normal file
locking, and prints messages about lvmlockd.
. 4 was equivalent to readonly, now implemented like
--readonly is set.
. 5 disabled all locking, now implemented like
--nolocking is set.
As we start refactoring the code to break dependencies (see doc/refactoring.txt),
I want us to use full paths in the includes (eg, #include "base/data-struct/list.h").
This makes it more obvious when we're breaking abstraction boundaries, eg, including a file in
metadata/ from base/
Filters are still applied before any device reading or
the label scan, but any filter checks that want to read
the device are skipped and the device is flagged.
After bcache is populated, but before lvm looks for
devices (i.e. before label scan), the filters are
reapplied to the devices that were flagged above.
The filters will then find the data they need in
bcache.
The clvmd saved_vg data is independent from the normal lvm
lvmcache vginfo data, so separate saved_vg from vginfo.
Normal lvm doesn't need to use save_vg at all, and in clvmd,
lvmcache changes on vginfo can be made without worrying
about unwanted effects on saved_vg.
For reporting commands (pvs,vgs,lvs,pvdisplay,vgdisplay,lvdisplay)
we do not need to repeat the label scan of devices in vg_read if
they all had matching metadata in the initial label scan. The
data read by label scan can just be reused for the vg_read.
This cuts the amount of device i/o in half, from two reads of
each device to one. We have to be careful to avoid repairing
the VG if we've skipped rescanning. (The VG repair code is very
poor, and will be redone soon.)
When user configured lvm2 to NOT user monitoring, activated mirror
actually hang upon error and it's quite unusable moment.
So instead Warn those 'brave' non-monitoring users about possible
problem and activation mirror without blocking error handling.
This also makes it a bit simpler for test suite to handle trouble
cases when test is running without dmeventd.
Occasionaly users may need to peek into 'component devices.
Normally lvm2 does not let users activation component.
This patch adds special mode where user can activate
component LV in a 'read-only' mode i.e.:
lvchange -ay vg/pool_tdata
All devices can be deactivated with:
lvchange -an vg | vgchange -an....
Change run time access to the command_name struct
cmd->cname instead of indirectly through
cmd->command->cname. This removes the two run time
fields from struct command.
. Define a prototype for every lvm command.
. Match every user command with one definition.
. Generate help text and man pages from them.
The new file command-lines.in defines a prototype for every
unique lvm command. A unique lvm command is a unique
combination of: command name + required option args +
required positional args. Each of these prototypes also
includes the optional option args and optional positional
args that the command will accept, a description, and a
unique string ID for the definition. Any valid command
will match one of the prototypes.
Here's an example of the lvresize command definitions from
command-lines.in, there are three unique lvresize commands:
lvresize --size SizeMB LV
OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force,
--nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync, --reportformat String, --resizefs,
--stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB, --poolmetadatasize SizeMB
OP: PV ...
ID: lvresize_by_size
DESC: Resize an LV by a specified size.
lvresize LV PV ...
OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force,
--nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync,
--reportformat String, --resizefs, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB
ID: lvresize_by_pv
DESC: Resize an LV by specified PV extents.
FLAGS: SECONDARY_SYNTAX
lvresize --poolmetadatasize SizeMB LV_thinpool
OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force,
--nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync,
--reportformat String, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB
OP: PV ...
ID: lvresize_pool_metadata_by_size
DESC: Resize a pool metadata SubLV by a specified size.
The three commands have separate definitions because they have
different required parameters. Required parameters are specified
on the first line of the definition. Optional options are
listed after OO, and optional positional args are listed after OP.
This data is used to generate corresponding command definition
structures for lvm in command-lines.h. usage/help output is also
auto generated, so it is always in sync with the definitions.
Every user-entered command is compared against the set of
command structures, and matched with one. An error is
reported if an entered command does not have the required
parameters for any definition. The closest match is printed
as a suggestion, and running lvresize --help will display
the usage for each possible lvresize command.
The prototype syntax used for help/man output includes
required --option and positional args on the first line,
and optional --option and positional args enclosed in [ ]
on subsequent lines.
command_name <required_opt_args> <required_pos_args>
[ <optional_opt_args> ]
[ <optional_pos_args> ]
Command definitions that are not to be advertised/suggested
have the flag SECONDARY_SYNTAX. These commands will not be
printed in the normal help output.
Man page prototypes are also generated from the same original
command definitions, and are always in sync with the code
and help text.
Very early in command execution, a matching command definition
is found. lvm then knows the operation being done, and that
the provided args conform to the definition. This will allow
lots of ad hoc checking/validation to be removed throughout
the code.
Each command definition can also be routed to a specific
function to implement it. The function is associated with
an enum value for the command definition (generated from
the ID string.) These per-command-definition implementation
functions have not yet been created, so all commands
currently fall back to the existing per-command-name
implementation functions.
Using per-command-definition functions will allow lots of
code to be removed which tries to figure out what the
command is meant to do. This is currently based on ad hoc
and complicated option analysis. When using the new
functions, what the command is doing is already known
from the associated command definition.
With patches that will follow, this will make it possible to widen log
report coverage when commands are executed from lvm shell so the amount
of messages that may end up in stderr/stdout instead of log report are
minimized.
Some commands scan labels to populate lvmcache multiple
times, i.e. lvmcache_init, scan labels to fill lvmcache,
lvmcache_destroy, then later repeat
Each time labels are scanned, duplicates are detected,
and preferred devices are chosen. Each time this is done
within a single command, we want to choose the same
preferred devices. So, check for existing preferences
when choosing preferred devices.
This also fixes a problem with the list of unused duplicate
devs when run in an lvm shell. The devs had been allocated
from cmd memory, resulting in invalid list entries between
commands.
A program may be using liblvm2app for simply checking a config
setting in lvm.conf. In this case, a full lvm context is not
needed, only cmd->cft (which are the config settings read from
lvm.conf).
lvm_config_find_bool() can now be passed a NULL lvm context
in which case it will only create cmd->cft, check the config
setting asked for, and destroy the cmd.
When a command modifies a PV or VG, or changes the
activation state of an LV, it will send a dbus
notification when the command is finished. This
can be enabled/disabled with a config setting.
This patch adds "include_historical_lvs" field to struct cmd_context to
make it possible for the command to switch between original funcionality
where no historical LVs are processed and functionality where historical
LVs are taken into account (and reported or processed further). The switch
between these modes is done using the '-H|--history' switch on command
line.
The include_historical_lvs state is then passed to process_each_* fns
using the "include_historical_lvs" field within struct processing_handle.
Previously, a command would only rescan a lockd VG
when lvmetad returned the "vg_invalid" flag indicating
that the cached copy was invalid (which is done by
lvmlockd.) This is still the only usual reason for
rescanning a lockd VG, but two new special cases are
added where we also do the rescan:
. When the --shared option is used to display lockd VGs
from hosts not using lvmlockd. This is the same case
as using --foreign to display foreign VGs, but --shared
was missing the corresponding bits to rescan the VGs.
. When a lockd VG is allowed to be read for displaying
after failing to acquire the lock from lvmlockd. In
this case, the usual mechanism for validating the
cache is missed, so assume the cache would have been
invalidated. (This had been a previous todo item
that was lost during other cleanup.)
These were long-standing todos that were lost track of.
When vgremove is used to remove multiple VGs in one command,
e.g. vgremove foo bar, the first VG (foo) that is removed
may have held the sanlock global lock. In this case,
do not continue removing further VGs (bar) without the
global lock.
Just shuffle the items and put them into logical groups so it's
visible at first sight what each group contains - it makes it a bit
easier to make heads and tails of the whole cmd_context monster.
Make it possible to decide whether we want to initialize connections and
filters together with toolcontext creation.
Add "filters" and "connections" fields to struct
cmd_context_initialized_parts and set these in cmd_context.initialized
instance accordingly.
(For now, all create_toolcontext calls do initialize connections and
filters, we'll change that in subsequent patch appropriately.)
Add struct cmd_context_initialized_parts to wrap up information
about which cmd context pieces are initialized and add variable
of this struct type into struct cmd_context.
Also, move existing "config_initialized" variable that was directly
part of cmd_context into the new cmd_context.initialized wrapper.
We'll be adding more items into the struct cmd_context_initialized_parts
with subsequent patches...
The vgchange/lvchange activation commands read the VG, and
don't write it, so they acquire a shared VG lock from lvmlockd.
When other commands fail to acquire a shared VG lock from
lvmlockd, a warning is printed and they continue without it.
(Without it, the VG metadata they display from lvmetad may
not be up to date.)
vgchange/lvchange -a shouldn't continue without the shared
lock for a couple reasons:
. Usually they will just continue on and fail to acquire the
LV locks for activation, so continuing is pointless.
. More importantly, without the sh VG lock, the VG metadata
used by the command may be stale, and the LV locks shown
in the VG metadata may no longer be current. In the
case of sanlock, this would result in odd, unpredictable
errors when lvmlockd doesn't find the expected lock on
disk. In the case of dlm, the invalid LV lock could be
granted for the non-existing LV.
The solution is to not continue after the shared lock fails,
in the same way that a command fails if an exclusive lock fails.
including the allow_override_lock_modes setting.
It was not possible to override default lock modes any longer,
since the command line options had already been removed.
A mechanism will probably be required later that puts part of
this back.
Make it possible to define format for time that is displayed.
The way the format is defined is equal to the way that is used
for strftime function, although not all formatting options as
used in strftime are available for LVM2 - the set is restricted
(e.g. we do not allow newline to be printed). The lvm.conf
comments contain the whole list that LVM2 accepts for time format
together with brief description (copied from strftime man page).
For example:
(defaults used - the format is the same as used before this patch)
$ lvs -o+time vg/lvol0 vg/lvol1
LV VG Attr LSize Time
lvol0 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m 2015-06-25 16:18:34 +0200
lvol1 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m 2015-06-29 09:17:11 +0200
(using 'time_format = "@%s"' in lvm.conf - number of seconds
since the Epoch)
$ lvs -o+time vg/lvol0 vg/lvol1
LV VG Attr LSize Time
lvol0 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m @1435241914
lvol1 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m @1435562231
Use of display_lvname() in plain log_debug() may accumulate memory in
command context mempool. Use instead small ringbuffer which allows to
store cuple (10 ATM) names so upto 10 full names can be used at one.
We are not keeping full VG/LV names as it may eventually consume larger
amount of RAM resouces if vgname is longer and lots of LVs are in use.
Note: if there would be ever needed for displaing more names at once,
the limit should be raised (e.g. log_debug() would need to print more
then 10 LVs on a single line).
The only realistic way for a host to have active LVs in a
foreign VG is if the host's system_id (or system_id_source)
is changed while LVs are active.
In this case, the active LVs produce an warning, and access
to the VG is implicitly allowed (without requiring --foreign.)
This allows the active LVs to be deactivated.
In this case, rescanning PVs for the VG offers no benefit.
It is not possible that rescanning would reveal an LV that
is active but wasn't previously in the VG metadata.
A foreign VG should be silently ignored by a reporting/display
command like 'vgs'. If the reporting/display command specifies
a foreign VG by name on the command line, it should produce an
error message.
Scanning commands pvscan/vgscan/lvscan are always allowed to
read and update caches from all PVs, including those that belong
to foreign VGs.
Other non-report/display/scan commands always ignore a foreign
VG, or report an error if they attempt to use a foreign VG.
vgimport should always invalidate the lvmetad cache because
lvmetad likely holds a pre-vgexported copy of the VG.
(This is unrelated to using foreign VGs; the pre-vgexported
VG may have had no system_id at all.)
Move the lvm1 sys ID into vg->lvm1_system_id and reenable the #if 0
LVM1 code. Still display the new-style system ID in the same
reporting field, though, as only one can be set.
Add a format feature flag FMT_SYSTEM_ON_PVS for LVM1 and disallow
access to LVM1 VGs if a new-style system ID has been set.
Treat the new vg->system_id as const.
Add WARNING messages if there are problems setting the requested
system ID.
Ban "localhost" as a prefix regardless of the system_id_source.
Use cmd->hostname instead of calling uname again.
Make system_id_source values case-insensitive (as with new settings like
log_debug_classes) and also accept machine-id to match the filename.
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.
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.
The --binary option, if used, causes all the binary values reported
in reporting commands to be displayed as "0" or "1" instead of descriptive
literal values (value "unknown" is still used for values that could not be
determined).
Also, add report/binary_values_as_numeric lvm.conf option with the same
functionality as the --binary option (the --binary option prevails
if both --binary cmd option and report/binary_values_as_numeric lvm.conf
option is used at the same time). The report/binary_values_as_numeric is
also profilable.
This makes it easier to use and check lvm reporting command output in scripts.
Before, the cft_check_handle used to direct configuration checking
was part of cmd_context. It's better to attach this as part of the
exact config tree against which the check is done. This patch moves
the cft_check_handle out of cmd_context and it attaches it to the
config tree directly as dm_config_tree->custom->config_source->check_handle.
This change makes it easier to track the config tree check results
and provides less space for bugs as the results are directly attached
to the tree and we don't need to be cautious whether the global value
is correct or not (and whether it needs reinitialization) as it was
in the case when the cft_check_handle was part of cmd_context.
Accept --ignoreskippedcluster with pvs, vgs, lvs, pvdisplay, vgdisplay,
lvdisplay, vgchange and lvchange to avoid the 'Skipping clustered
VG' errors when requesting information about a clustered VG
without using clustered locking and still exit with success.
The messages can still be seen with -v.
The activation/auto_set_activation_skip enables/disables automatic
adding of the ACTIVATION_SKIP LV flag. By default thin snapshots
are flagged to be skipped during activation.
And by default, the auto_set_activation_skip is enabled.
Before, the status of the configuration check (config_def_check fn call)
was saved directly in global configuration definitinion array (as part
of the cfg_def_item_t/flags)
This patch introduces the "struct cft_check_handle" that defines
configuration check parameters as well as separate place to store
the status (status here means CFG_USED and CFG_VALID flags, formerly
saved in cfg_def_item_t/flags). This struct can hold config check
parameters as well as the status for each config tree separately,
thus making it possible to run several instances of config_def_check
without interference.
Just to make it more clear and also not to confuse
config_valid with check against config definition
(and its 'valid' flag within the config defintion tree).
This patch adds --profile arg to lvm cmds and adds config/profile_dir
configuration setting to select the directory where profiles are stored
By default it's /etc/lvm/profile.
The profiles are added by using new "add_profile" fn and then loaded
using the "load_profile" fn. All profiles are stored in a cmd context
within the new "struct profile_params":
struct profile_params {
const char *dir;
struct profile *global_profile;
struct dm_list profiles_to_load;
struct dm_list profiles;
};
...where "dir" is the directory with profiles, "global_profile" is
the profile that is set globally via the --profile arg (IOW, not
set per VG/LV basis based on metadata record) and the "profiles"
is the list with loaded profiles.
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
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.
Add log/debug_classes to lvm.conf to allow debug messages to be
classified and filtered at runtime.
The dm_errno field is only used by log_error(), so I've redefined it
for log_debug() messages to hold the message class.
By default, all existing messages appear, but we can add categories that
generate high volumes of data, such as logging all traffic to/from
lvmetad.
Accept -q as the short form of --quiet.
Suppress non-essential standard output if -q is given twice.
Treat log/silent in lvm.conf as equivalent to -qq.
Review all log_print messages and change some to
log_print_unless_silent.
When silent, the following commands still produce output:
dumpconfig, lvdisplay, lvmdiskscan, lvs, pvck, pvdisplay,
pvs, version, vgcfgrestore -l, vgdisplay, vgs.
[Needs checking.]
Non-essential messages are shifted from log level 4 to log level 5
for syslog and lvm2_log_fn purposes.
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.
Makes dumpconfig whole-section output wrong in a different way from before,
but we should be able to merge cft_cmdline properly into cmd->cft now and
remove cascade.
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.
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)
allocates these buffers in such way it adds memory page for each such buffer
and size of unlock memory check will mismatch by 1 or 2 pages.
This happens when we print or read lines without '\n' so these buffers are
used. To avoid this extra allocation, use setvbuf to set these bufffers ahead.

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.
We can already detect MD devices internally. But when using MD partitions,
these have "block extended major" (blkext) assigned (259). Blkext major
is also used in general, so we need to check whether the original device
is an MD device actually.
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.
Add configure --enable-units-compat to set si_unit_consistency off by default.
Use standard output units for 'PE Size' and 'Stripe size' in pv/lvdisplay.
Very simple / crude method of removing 'is_static' from initialization.
Why should we require an application tell us whether it is linked
statically or dynamically to libLVM? If the application is linked
statically, but libraries exist and dlopen() calls succeed, why
do we care if it's statically linked?
This allows us to remove one argument from create_toolcontext() and
moves it closer to a generic library init function.
In the arg_*() functions, we just use _the_args() directly.
For now we leave the first parameter to these
arg_*() functions (struct cmd_context *) because
of the number of files involved in removing the
parameter.
