A global flag in lvmetad indicates it has been disabled.
Other flags indicate the reason it was disabled.
These flags can be queried using get_global_info.
The lvmetactl debugging utility can set and clear the
disabled flag in lvmetad. Nothing else sets the
disabled flag yet.
Commands will check these flags after connecting to
lvmetad. If the disabled flag is set, the command
will not use the lvmetad cache, but revert to disk
scanning.
To test this feature:
$ lvmetactl get_global_info
response = "OK"
global_invalid = 0
global_disable = 0
disable_reason = "none"
token = "filter:3041577944"
$ vgs
(should report VGs from lvmetad)
$ lvmetactl set_global_disable 1
$ lvmetactl get_global_info
response = "OK"
global_invalid = 0
global_disable = 1
disable_reason = "DIRECT"
token = "filter:3041577944"
$ vgs
WARNING: Not using lvmetad because the disable flag was set directly.
(should report VGs without contacting lvmetad)
$ lvmetactl set_global_disable 0
$ vgs
(should report VGs from lvmetad)
process_each_pv was doing:
1. lvmcache_seed_infos_from_lvmetad()
sends pv_list request to lvmetad.
2. get_vgnameids()
sends vg_list request to lvmetad.
3. _get_all_devices()
first calls lvmcache_seed_infos_from_lvmetad(),
which is a no-op if it's already been called.
Because get_vgnameids() does not use the information
from lvmcache_seed_infos_from_lvmetad(), it does not
need to be called prior to get_all_devices where
it is actually needed.
Improve code for snapshot merge for readabilty
and also reduce number of tests needed to decide
if merging can or cannot be started.
(Further improving 9cccf5245a)
When dm_tree_find_node_by_uuid() fails to find passed uuid,
report in lof_debug the complete original uuid,
not the one stripped of LVM- prefix.
TODO: inspect manipulation with LVM- prefix here.
To recognize in runtime if we are merging or not
to make consistent decision between suspend and resume
add function to parse thin table line when add
merging thin device to the table.
A snapshot merge into its origin cannot be initiated while the devices
are in use. If there is outside interference (such as from udev),
the suspend (preload) and resume stages can reach conflicting decisions
about whether or not to proceed.
Try to make the logic more robust by checking the inactive or live
table during resume. (This is still not perfect.)
Commit 971ab733b7 ("thin: activation of
merging thin snapshot") also added an incorrect deactivation attempt
for non-thin LVs: find_snapshot(lv)->lv is not designed to be
activated and any attempt to deactivate it is incorrect.
Move checking the lvmetad state, and the possible rescan,
out of lvmetad_send() to the start of the command.
Previously, the token mismatch and rescan would occur
within lvmetad_send() for some other request. Now,
the token mismatch is detected earlier, so the
rescan can be done before the main command is in
progress. Rescanning deep within the processing of
another command will disturb the lvmcache state of
that other command.
A rescan already exists at the start of the command
for the case where foreign VGs are going to be read.
This same rescan is now also performed when there is
an lvmetad token mismatch (from a changed global_filter).
The commands pvscan/vgscan/lvscan/vgimport are excluded
from this preemptive checking/rescanning for lvmetad
because they want to do rescanning themselves explicitly.
If rescanning devices fails, then lvmetad has not been
correctly repopulated and should not be used, so make
the command revert to not using lvmetad.
When not obtaining device from udev, we are doing deep devdir scan,
and at the same time we try to insert everything what /sys/dev/block
knows about. However in case lvm2 is configured to use nonstardard
devdir this way it will see (and scan) devices from a real system.
lvm2 test suite is using its own test devdir with its
own device nodes. To avoid touching real /dev devices, validate
the device node exist in give dir and do not insert such device
into a cache.
With obtain list from udev this patch has no effect
(the normal user path).
We have _insert_dirs() for udev and non-udev compilation.
Compiling without udev missed to call dev_cache_index_devs().
Move the call after _insert_dirs() call so both compilation
gets it.
When scanning if device is being usable as PV,
we call STATUS - but this status should not cause
any flushing.
Skip also open_count information as it's not needed.
We don't have any report field of this type yet. Return this patch into
the play if we really need that. Currenly we always report status
(result of "status" dm ioctl) for an LV as a whole where we choose
segment which represents the LV, not calling status for each possible
segment it contains - we don't need this now so I'm removing it to
not make the code more complex uselessly.
Devices without "LVM-" uuid prefix have been generated by very old
version of lvm2 2.00 and 2.01.
Since version 2.02 all lvm2 devices are using prefix "LVM-".
However checking for present of ancient non prefixed devices does
take extra IOCTL per every call and for majority of todays user
it will not find anything new.
So use the assumption that users with kernel 3.X and newer are not
really using such old versions of lvm2 (year <2005) and with their
new kernel they are also using new version of lvm2 and skip
checking for them.
This change also makes trace logs more readable.
This is hotfix for RHBZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1324537
However already the %FREE is not a good fit and we need something
better. Meanwhile make -l%PVS work at least as good as %FREE
for thin-pool.
TODO: this needs rework - it should be allocator to do all the size
decisions at one place.
