Seems the amount of allocated data on stack is dependent on page size.
As the page size on aarch64 is 64kiB writing to memory allocated by
alloca results in stack overflow as at the time of allocation the are
already 2 pages allocated. Clearly 128kiB is not sufficient and at least
3 pages are needed.
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
Cmirrord has endian bugs, which cause failure to lvcreate a mirrored lv
on s390.
- data_size is uint32, should not use xlate64 to convert, which will
cause data_size 0 after xlate.
- request_type and data_size still used by local(v5_data_switch),
should convert later. If request_type xlate too early, it will
cause request_type judge error; if data_size xlate too early, it
will cause coredump in case DM_ULOG_CLEAR_REGION.
- when receiving package in clog_request_from_network. vp[0] will always
be little endian. We could use xlate64(vp[0]) == vp[0] to decide if
the local node is little endian or not.

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.
This is probably better approach than 3880ca5eca.
If dm module is not loaded during dm_is_dm_major call, there are no
lines for dm in /proc/devices, of course. Normally, dm_is_dm_major
is called to check existing devices, hence if module is not loaded,
we can expect there's no DM device present at the same time so we
can directly return 0 here (meaning the major number being inspected
is not dm device's one).
See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1059711.
For dm_is_dm_major to determine whether the major number given as
an argument belongs to a DM device, libdm code needs to know what
the actual DM major is to do the comparison.
It may happen that the dm-mod module is not loaded during this
call and so for the completness let's try our best before we start
giving various errors - we can still make use of dm-mod autoloading,
though only since kernels 2.6.36 where this feature was introduced.
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.
This message should be printed only for activation commands,
however since the handling of this flag is not correct
(rhbz 1140029) and will require further changes,
do now just a minor change and switch message into log_debug
(so it's not printed i.e. with every 'lvs -v')
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.
Commit 94786a3bbf introduced
another bug - since sscanf needs extra 1 byte for \0.
Since there is no easy way to do a macro evaluation for (PATH_MAX-1)
and string concatation of this number to get resulting (%4095s) - let's
go with easiest path and restore extra byte for 0.
Other option would be to prepare sscanf parsing string in runtime.
But lets resolve it when we look at PATH_MAX handling later...
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.
Add extra safety detection for thin pool transaction id
and query pool status after confirmed message.
In case there is a missmatch, immeditelly abort further
processing.
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.
Commit 5ebff6cc9f seemed to introduce
new 'for' loop but the mode is not yet used.
But the access to /dev dir needs to go through $DM_DEV_DIR
and whole path needs to be in "".
When testing conversion sanity, we checked lv->status & MIRRORED
which encompasses both old mirrors and raid1 mirrors. But we need to
ban only the old mirrors here hence allow raid1 mirrors.
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

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.
This patch adds a new flag --deferred to dmsetup remove. If this flag is
specified and the device is open, it is scheduled to be deleted on
close.
struct dm_info is extended.
The existing dm_task_get_info() is converted into a wrapper around the
new version dm_task_get_info_with_deferred_remove() so existing binaries
can still use the old smaller structure.
Recompiled code will pick up the new larger structure.

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".
When ignoring 'listed' volume, print info message.
(So the final command error message is a bit less confusing,
i.e. when user tries to deactive virtual origin:
> lvchange -an vg/lvol2_vorigin
Ignoring virtual origin logical volume vg/lvol2_vorigin.
One or more specified logical volume(s) not found.
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
[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_rmeta_0] vg ewi-aor--- linear metadata,raid
[pool_tmeta_rmeta_1] vg ewi-aor--- linear metadata,raid
(selected all LVs which are related to metadata of any type)
lvs -a -o name,vg_name,lv_attr,layout,type -S 'type={metadata,thin}'
LV VG Attr Layout Type
[pool_tmeta] vg ewi-aor--- level1,raid metadata,pool,thin
(selected all LVs which hold metadata related to thin)
lvs -a -o name,vg_name,lv_attr,layout,type -S 'type={thin,snapshot}'
LV VG Attr Layout Type
thin_snap1 vg Vwi---tz-k thin snapshot,thin
thin_snap2 vg Vwi---tz-k thin snapshot,thin
(selected all LVs which are thin snapshots)
lvs -a -o name,vg_name,lv_attr,layout,type -S 'layout=raid'
LV VG Attr Layout Type
[pool_tdata] vg rwi-aor--- level10,raid data,pool,thin
[pool_tmeta] vg ewi-aor--- level1,raid metadata,pool,thin
(selected all LVs with raid layout, any raid layout)
lvs -a -o name,vg_name,lv_attr,layout,type -S 'layout={raid,level1}'
LV VG Attr Layout Type
[pool_tmeta] vg ewi-aor--- level1,raid metadata,pool,thin
(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."
Using "[ ]" operator together with "&&" (or ",") inside causes the
string list to be matched if and only if all the items given match
the value reported and the number of items also match. This is
strict list matching and the original behaviour we already have.
In contrast to that, the new "{ }" operator together with "&&" inside
causes the string list to be matched if and only if all the items given
match the value reported but the number of items don't need to match.
So we can provide a subset in selection criteria and if the subset
is found, it matches.
For example:
$ lvs -o name,tags
LV LV Tags
lvol0 a
lvol1 a,b
lvol2 b,c,x
lvol3 a,b,y
$ lvs -o name,tags -S 'tags=[a,b]'
LV LV Tags
lvol1 a,b
$ lvs -o name,tags -S 'tags={a,b}'
LV LV Tags
lvol1 a,b
lvol3 a,b,y
So in the example above the a,b is subset of a,b,y and therefore
it also matches.
Clearly, when using "||" (or "#") inside, the { } and [ ] is the
same:
$ lvs -o name,tags -S 'tags=[a#b]'
LV LV Tags
lvol0 a
lvol1 a,b
lvol2 b,c,x
lvol3 a,b,y
$ lvs -o name,tags -S 'tags={a#b}'
LV LV Tags
lvol0 a
lvol1 a,b
lvol2 b,c,x
lvol3 a,b,y
Also in addition to the above feature, fix list with single value
matching when using [ ]:
Before this patch:
$ lvs -o name,tags -S 'tags=[a]'
LV LV Tags
lvol0 a
lvol1 a,b
lvol3 a,b,y
With this patch applied:
$ lvs -o name,tags -S 'tags=[a]'
LV LV Tags
lvol0 a
In case neither [] or {} is used, assume {} (the behaviour is not
changed here):
$ lvs -o name,tags -S 'tags=a'
LV LV Tags
lvol0 a
lvol1 a,b
lvol3 a,b,y
So in new terms 'tags=a' is equal to 'tags={a}'.
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.
With cmirrord, we can do pvmove of clustered mirror. The code checking
suitability of LVs on the PV being moved issued a message if a mirror
LV was found and the VG was clustered. However, the actual pvmove did
work correctly.
The top-level mirror LV is actually skipped in the code since it's
always layered on top of internal LVs making up the mirror LV and for pvmove
we consider these internal devices only as they're actually layered on
top of concrete PVs then. But we don't need to issue any message here
about skipping the top-level mirror LV - it's misleading here.
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.

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.

TODO: the code path for mirror needs update.
Major update of lvconvert code to handle cache and thin.
related targets.
Code tries to unify handling of cache and thin pools.
Better supports lvm2 syntax:
lvconvert --type cache --cachepool vg/pool vg/cache
lvconvert --type thin --thinpool vg/pool vg/extorg
lvconvert --type cache-pool vg/pool
lvconvert --type thin-pool vg/pool
as well as:
lvconvert --cache --cachepool vg/pool vg/cache
lvconvert --thin --thinpool vg/pool vg/extorg
lvconvert --cachepool vg/pool
lvconvert --thinpool vg/pool
While catching much more command line errors.
(Yet couple paths still needs more tests)
Detects as much cmdline errors prior opening VG.
Uses single lvconvert_name_params to convert LV names.
Detects as much incompatibilies in VG prior prompting.
Uses single prompt to confirm whole conversion.
TODO: still the code needs fixes...
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.
Since the type passed LV is changed and content of data detroyed,
query user with prompt to confirm this operation.
Also add a proper wiping of header.
Using '--yes' will skip this prompt:
lvconvert -s --yes vg/lv vg/lvcow
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.

Commit 33d69162e4 reduced the number of
PVs to a level where the test could not function. (It is impossible
to replace 3 PVs of a 4-way RAID1 LV if there are only 5 PVs.)
Like other binary fields we already have:
$ lvs -o name,zero vg/lvx vg/pool vg/pool1
LV Zero
lvx unknown
pool
pool1 zero
$ lvs -o name,zero vg/lvx vg/pool vg/pool1 --binary
LV Zero
lvx -1
pool 0
pool1 1
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.
Change the help heading from 'Common Fields' to 'Special Fields' for
the fields: selected, help, ?
Remove the code that does 'all' processing with these special fields as
each of them changes the behaviour of the command in an undesirable way.
'lvs -o all,selected' was of course just printing help.
(via internal expansion to 'lv_all,common_all')
and if we ignored the help fields, then '-o common_all' would still
pull in 'selected' and change the way rows were output.
We have 1/"descriptive word"/"yes" for 1 and 0/"no" for 0.
For example (the new recognized values are "yes" and "no"):
$ lvs -o name,device_open fedora vg/lvol1 vg/lvol2
LV DevOpen
root open
swap open
lvol1 open
lvol2
$ lvs -o name,device_open fedora vg/lvol1 vg/lvol2 -S 'device_open=open'
LV DevOpen
root open
swap open
lvol1 open
$ lvs -o name,device_open fedora vg/lvol1 vg/lvol2 -S 'device_open=1'
LV DevOpen
root open
swap open
lvol1 open
$ lvs -o name,device_open fedora vg/lvol1 vg/lvol2 -S 'device_open=yes'
LV DevOpen
root open
swap open
lvol1 open
$ lvs -o name,device_open fedora vg/lvol1 vg/lvol2 -S 'device_open=0'
LV DevOpen
lvol2
$ lvs -o name,device_open fedora vg/lvol1 vg/lvol2 -S 'device_open=no'
LV DevOpen
lvol2
So all attribute reporting functions are all in one section of code
for quick orientation (all these functions are defined in the order
of their attribute character displayed in pv/vg/lv_attr field).
lv_active_{locally,remotely,exclusively} display the original
"lv_active" field in a more separate way so that we can create
selection criteria in a binary-based form (yes/no).
The macros for reserved value definition makes the process a bit easier,
but there's still a place for improvement and make this even more
transparent. We can optimize and provide better automatism here later on.
Also respect --binary arg and/or report/binary_values_as_numeric
when displaying unknown values. If textual form is used, use "unknown",
if numeric value is used, use "-1" (which we already use to denote
unknown numeric values in other reports like lv_kernel_major and
lv_kernel_minor).
This avoids creating void matchers which have no effect anyway and
they just use resources. Also, it makes lvm dumpconfig --type diff
to mark these settings properly as not being different from defaults
(where by default, devices/preferred_names as well as devices/filter
are void).
Also, add a few comments about builtin rules used to select device
alias in case preferred_names is not defined or it doesn't match
any of device aliases.
There was missing lv_info call for situations where there were
mixed PV/LV segment fields together with LVSINFO fields which
require extra lv_info call for LV device status. This ended up
with NULL lvinfo passed to the field reporting functions, hence
the segfault.
All binary attr fields have synonyms so selection criteria can use
either 0/1 or words to match against the field value (base type
for these binary fields is numeric one - DM_REPORT_FIELD_TYPE_NUMBER
so words are registered as reserved values):
pv_allocatable - "allocatable"
pv_exported - "exported"
pv_missing - "missing"
vg_extendable - "extendable"
vg_exported - "exported"
vg_partial - "partial"
vg_clustered - "clustered"
lv_initial_image_sync - "initial image sync", "sync"
lv_image_synced_names - "image synced", "synced"
lv_merging_names - "merging"
lv_converting_names - "converting"
lv_allocation_locked - "allocation locked", "locked"
lv_fixed_minor - "fixed minor", "fixed"
lv_merge_failed - "merge failed", "failed"
For example, these three are all equivalent:
$ lvs -o name,fixed_minor -S 'fixed_minor=fixed'
LV FixMin
lvol8 fixed minor
$ lvs -o name,fixed_minor -S 'fixed_minor="fixed minor"'
LV FixMin
lvol8 fixed minor
$ lvs -o name,fixed_minor -S 'fixed_minor=1'
LV FixMin
lvol8 fixed minor
The same with binary output - it has no effect on this functionality:
$ lvs -o name,fixed_minor --binary -S 'fixed_minor=fixed'
LV FixMin
lvol8 1
$ lvs -o name,fixed_minor --binary -S 'fixed_minor="fixed
minor"'
LV FixMin
lvol8 1
[1] f20/~ # lvs -o name,fixed_minor --binary -S 'fixed_minor=1'
LV FixMin
lvol8 1
In contrast to per-type reserved values that are applied for all fields
of that type, per-field reserved values are only applied for concrete
field only.
Also add 'struct dm_report_field_reserved_value' to libdm for per-field
reserved value definition. This is defined by field number (an index
in the 'fields' array which is given for the dm_report_init_with_selection
function during report initialization) and the value to use for any
of the specified reserved names.
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.

lv_image_synced - Whether mirror/RAID image is synchronized.
lv_merging - Whether snapshot LV is being merged to origin.

LVSINFO is exactly the same as existing LVS report type,
but it has the "struct lvinfo" populated in addition for
use - this is useful for fields that display the status
of the LV device itself (e.g. suspended state, tables
present/missing...).
Currently, such properties are reported within the "lv_attr"
field so separation is unnecessary - the "lvinfo" call
to populate the "struct lvinfo" is directly a part of the
field reporting function - _lvstatus_disp/lv_attr_dup.
With upcoming patches, we'd like the lv_attr field bits
to be separated into their own fields. To avoid calling
"lvinfo" fn as many times as there are fields requiring
the "lv_info" structure to be populated while reporting
one row related to one LV, we're separating former LVS
into LVS and LVSINFO report type. With this, there's
just one "lvinfo" call for one report row and LV reporting
fields will take the info needed from this struct then,
hence reusing it and not calling "lvinfo" fn on their own.
The get_lv_type_name helps with translating volume type
to human readable form (can be used in reports or
various messages if needed).
The lv_is_linear and lv_is_striped complete the set of
lv_is_* functions that identify exact volume types.
Mention parent LV as well as the LV triggering the warning.
Still leaves some confusing cases but its not worth fixing them
at the moment.
(Thin pool inactive but a thin volume active => deactivate thin vol.
Inactive mirror/raid with pvmove in progress => complete pvmove and
active&deactivate mirror/raid.
If new VG already exists it requires some LVs to be inactive
unnecessarily.)
Support remove of thin volumes With --force --force
when thin pools is damaged.
This way it's possible to remove thin pool with
unrepairable metadata without requiring to
manually edit lvm2 metadata.
lvremove -ff vg/pool
removes all thin volumes and pool even when
thin pool cannot be activated (to accept
removal of thin volumes in kernel metadata)
mirror_or_raid_type_requested really checks for mirror type.
Convert macros mirror_or_raid_type_requested() and
snapshot_type_requested() into inline functions.
Use builddir not srcdir with make pofile.
Append 'incfile:' lines to %.d files to handle newly-missing dependencies
without 'make clean' after a file is moved or deleted.
Using suffixes for mirrors and raids will need more work,
before this could be enabled.
Meanwhile revert to previous behavior.
Keep suffixes for thins and caches.
Since vg_name inside /lib function has already been ignored mostly
except for a few debug prints - make it and official internal API
feature.
vg_name is used only in /tools while the VG is not yet openned,
and when lvresize/lvcreate /lib function is called with VG pointer
already being used, then vg_name becomes irrelevant (it's not been
validated anyway).
So any internal user of lvcreate_params and lvresize_params does not
need to set vg_name pointer and may leave it NULL.
Use suffixes for easier detection of private volumes.
This commit makes older volume UUIDs incompatible and
it most probably needs machine reboot after upgrade.
When creating pool's metadata - create initial LV for clearing with some
generic name and after the volume is create & cleared - rename it to
reserved name '_tmeta/_cmeta'.
We should not expose 'reserved' names for public LVs.
When repairing RAID LVs that have multiple PVs per image, allow
replacement images to be reallocated from the PVs that have not
failed in the image if there is sufficient space.
This allows for scenarios where a 2-way RAID1 is spread across 4 PVs,
where each image lives on two PVs but doesn't use the entire space
on any of them. If one PV fails and there is sufficient space on the
remaining PV in the image, the image can be reallocated on just the
remaining PV.
Previously, the seg_pvs used to track free and allocated space where left
in place after 'release_pv_segment' was called to free space from an LV.
Now, an attempt is made to combine any adjacent seg_pvs that also track
free space. Usually, this doesn't provide much benefit, but in a case
where one command might free some space and then do an allocation, it
can make a difference. One such case is during a repair of a RAID LV,
where one PV of a multi-PV image fails. This new behavior is used when
the replacement image can be allocated from the remaining space of the
PV that did not fail. (First the entire image with the failed PV is
removed. Then the image is reallocated from the remaining PVs.)
I've changed build_parallel_areas_from_lv to take a new parameter
that allows the caller to build parallel areas by LV vs by segment.
Previously, the function created a list of parallel areas for each
segment in the given LV. When it came time for allocation, the
parallel areas were honored on a segment basis. This was problematic
for RAID because any new RAID image must avoid being placed on any
PVs used by other images in the RAID. For example, if we have a
linear LV that has half its space on one PV and half on another, we
do not want an up-convert to use either of those PVs. It should
especially not wind up with the following, where the first portion
of one LV is paired up with the second portion of the other:
------PV1------- ------PV2-------
[ 2of2 image_1 ] [ 1of2 image_1 ]
[ 1of2 image_0 ] [ 2of2 image_0 ]
---------------- ----------------
Previously, it was possible for this to happen. The change makes
it so that the returned parallel areas list contains one "super"
segment (seg_pvs) with a list of all the PVs from every actual
segment in the given LV and covering the entire logical extent range.
This change allows RAID conversions to function properly when there
are existing images that contain multiple segments that span more
than one PV.
If a RAID LV has images that are spread across more than one PV
and you allocate a new image that requires more than one PV,
parallel_areas is only honored for one segment. This commit
adds a test for this condition.

not noticing any change made after last scan/filtering - the state

A field where it has no meaning to do any type of comparison is the
implicit "help" or "?" field. The error given was a bit cryptic
before this patch, the FLD_UNCOMPARABLE flag makes it easier to identify
this situation anywhere in the code and provide much better error message.
This flag can be applied to other fields that may appear in the future -
mostly usable for implicit fields as they always have special purpose
(so we're not exporting it in libdevmapper for now - usual reporting
fields don't need this).

Take a local file lock to prevent concurrent activation/deactivation of LVs.
Thin/cache types and an extension for cluster support are excluded for
now.
'lvchange -ay $lv' and 'lvchange -an $lv' should no longer cause trouble
if issued concurrently: the new lock should make sure they
activate/deactivate $lv one-after-the-other, instead of overlapping.
(If anyone wants to experiment with the cluster patch, please get in touch.)
'lvs' would segfault if trying to display the "move pv" if the
pvmove was run with '--atomic'. The structure of an atomic pvmove
is different and requires us to descend another level in the
LV tree to retrieve the PV information.
In 'find_pvmove_lv', separate the code that searches the atomic
pvmove LVs from the code that searches the normal pvmove LVs. This
cleans up the segment iterator code a bit.
It's better to have implicit fields at the very end of the output
so users can see them without scrolling back if the list of fields
is long (the "help" is also an implicit field now so it should be
easily visible).
We have "help" and "?" defined as implicit fields now. As such, we
don't need to export these names in libdevmapper (as it was introduced
by commit 7c86131233 within this release).
If anyone uses these field names by mistake, the libdevmapper code can
error out correctly if it detects that the set of explicit field names
(the ones supplied by "fields" arg in dm_report_init/dm_report_init_with_selection)
contains any of the implicit field names (the ones defined internally
by libdevmapper itself).
Making "help" and "?" implicit also simplifies code since the
dm_report_init caller (lvm/dmsetup) doesn't need to check on
dm_report_init return whether "help" or "?" was hit while parsing
fields/sort keys in libdevmapper.
The libdevmapper now sets internal "RH_ALREADY_REPORTED" flag
after it reports the "help" or "?" implicit field. Then libdevmapper
itself checks for this flag in dm_report_object and if found,
the actual reporting is skipped (because the "help" implicit field
was reported instead of the actual report).

pvmove can be used to move single LVs by name or multiple LVs that
lie within the specified PV range (e.g. /dev/sdb1:0-1000). When
moving more than one LV, the portions of those LVs that are in the
range to be moved are added to a new temporary pvmove LV. The LVs
then point to the range in the pvmove LV, rather than the PV
range.
Example 1:
We have two LVs in this example. After they were
created, the first LV was grown, yeilding two segments
in LV1. So, there are two LVs with a total of three
segments.
Before pvmove:
--------- --------- ---------
| LV1s0 | | LV2s0 | | LV1s1 |
--------- --------- ---------
| | |
-------------------------------------
PV | 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 | 512 - 767 |
-------------------------------------
After pvmove inserts the temporary pvmove LV:
--------- --------- ---------
| LV1s0 | | LV2s0 | | LV1s1 |
--------- --------- ---------
| | |
-------------------------------------
pvmove0 | seg 0 | seg 1 | seg 2 |
-------------------------------------
| | |
-------------------------------------
PV | 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 | 512 - 767 |
-------------------------------------
Each of the affected LV segments now point to a
range of blocks in the pvmove LV, which purposefully
corresponds to the segments moved from the original
LVs into the temporary pvmove LV.
The current implementation goes on from here to mirror the temporary
pvmove LV by segment. Further, as the pvmove LV is activated, only
one of its segments is actually mirrored (i.e. "moving") at a time.
The rest are either complete or not addressed yet. If the pvmove
is aborted, those segments that are completed will remain on the
destination and those that are not yet addressed or in the process
of moving will stay on the source PV. Thus, it is possible to have
a partially completed move - some LVs (or certain segments of LVs)
on the source PV and some on the destination.
Example 2:
What 'example 1' might look if it was half-way
through the move.
--------- --------- ---------
| LV1s0 | | LV2s0 | | LV1s1 |
--------- --------- ---------
| | |
-------------------------------------
pvmove0 | seg 0 | seg 1 | seg 2 |
-------------------------------------
| | |
| -------------------------
source PV | | 256 - 511 | 512 - 767 |
| -------------------------
| ||
-------------------------
dest PV | 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 |
-------------------------
This update allows the user to specify that they would like the
pvmove mirror created "by LV" rather than "by segment". That is,
the pvmove LV becomes an image in an encapsulating mirror along
with the allocated copy image.
Example 3:
A pvmove that is performed "by LV" rather than "by segment".
--------- ---------
| LV1s0 | | LV2s0 |
--------- ---------
| |
-------------------------
pvmove0 | * LV-level mirror * |
-------------------------

pvmove_mimage0 / pvmove_mimage1
------------------------- -------------------------
| seg 0 | seg 1 | | seg 0 | seg 1 |
------------------------- -------------------------
| | | |
------------------------- -------------------------
| 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 | | 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 |
------------------------- -------------------------

The thing that differentiates a pvmove done in this way and a simple
"up-convert" from linear to mirror is the preservation of the
distinct segments. A normal up-convert would simply allocate the
necessary space with no regard for segment boundaries. The pvmove
operation must preserve the segments because they are the critical
boundary between the segments of the LVs being moved. So, when the
pvmove copy image is allocated, all corresponding segments must be
allocated. The code that merges ajoining segments that are part of
the same LV when the metadata is written must also be avoided in
this case. This method of mirroring is unique enough to warrant its
own definitional macro, MIRROR_BY_SEGMENTED_LV. This joins the two
existing macros: MIRROR_BY_SEG (for original pvmove) and MIRROR_BY_LV
(for user created mirrors).
The advantages of performing pvmove in this way is that all of the
LVs affected can be moved together. It is an all-or-nothing approach
that leaves all LV segments on the source PV if the move is aborted.
Additionally, a mirror log can be used (in the future) to provide tracking
of progress; allowing the copy to continue where it left off in the event
there is a deactivation.
With recent changes introduced with the report selection support,
the content of lv_modules field is of string list type (before
it was just string type).
String list elements are always ordered now so update lvcreate-thin
test to expect the elements to be ordered.
The differentiation of the original number field into number, size and
percent field types has been introduced with recent changes for report
selection support.
Implicit fields are fields that are registered with the report
and reported internally by libdevmapper itself (compared to explicit
fields that are registered by the layer above libdevmapper - e.g. LVM,
dmsetup...).
The "selected" field is the implicit field (for now the only one)
that reports the result of the selection. Since the selection itself
is the property of the libdevmapper, the upper layer using dm_report_init
can't register this field itself and it must be done directly at
libdevmapper layer.
The "selected" field is internally registered as part of the "common"
report type with id 0x80000000 (the last bit in uin32_t) which is then
reserved (the explicit report types are then checked if they do not
contain this id and if yes, we error out).
This way, the "selected" field is recognized by all libdevmapper users
that initialize the reporting with "dm_report_init_with_selection".
If reporting is initialized with the classical "dm_report_init",
there's no functional change (so the "selected" field is not defined
and it's not recognized).
Make dm_report_init_with_selection to accept an argument with an
array of reserved values where each element contains a triple:
{dm report field type, reserved value, array of strings representing this value}
When the selection is parsed, we always check whether a string
representation of some reserved value is not hit and if it is,
we use the reserved value assigned for this string instead of
trying to parse it as a value of certain field type.
This makes it possible to define selections like:
... --select lv_major=undefined (or -1 or unknown or undef or whatever string representations are registered for this reserved value in the future)
... --select lv_read_ahead=auto
... --select vg_mda_copies=unmanaged
With this, each time the field value of certain type is hit
and when we compare it with the selection, we use the proper
value for comparison.
For now, register these reserved values that are used at the moment
(also more descriptive names are used for the values):
const uint64_t _reserved_number_undef_64 = UINT64_MAX;
const uint64_t _reserved_number_unmanaged_64 = UINT64_MAX - 1;
const uint64_t _reserved_size_auto_64 = UINT64_MAX;
{
{DM_REPORT_FIELD_TYPE_NUMBER, _reserved_number_undef_64, {"-1", "undefined", "undef", "unknown", NULL}},
{DM_REPORT_FIELD_TYPE_NUMBER, _reserved_number_unmanaged_64, {"unmanaged", NULL}},
{DM_REPORT_FIELD_TYPE_SIZE, _reserved_size_auto_64, {"auto", NULL}},
NULL
}
Same reserved value of different field types do not collide.
All arrays are null-terminated.
The list of reserved values is automatically displayed within
selection help output:
Selection operands
------------------
...
Reserved values
---------------
-1, undefined, undef, unknown - Reserved value for undefined numeric value. [number]
unmanaged - Reserved value for unmanaged number of metadata copies in VG. [number]
auto - Reserved value for size that is automatically calculated. [size]
Selection operators
-------------------
...
When the field list is displayed as help for constructing selection
criteria, show also the field value type. This is useful for users
to know what set of operators are allowed for the type - the subsequent
"Selection operands" section in the help output summarize all known
types that can be used in selection.
The "<lvm command> -S/--select help" shows help (including list of fields to match against):
...field list here including the field type name...
Selection operands
------------------
field - Reporting field.
number - Non-negative integer value.
size - Floating point value with units specified.
string - Characters quoted by ' or " or unquoted.
string list - Strings enclosed by [ ] and elements delimited by either
"all items must match" or "at least one item must match" operator.
regular expression - Characters quoted by ' or " or unquoted.
Selection operators
-------------------
Comparison operators:
=~ - Matching regular expression.
!~ - Not matching regular expression.
= - Equal to.
!= - Not equal to.
>= - Greater than or equal to.
> - Greater than
<= - Less than or equal to.
< - Less than.
Logical and grouping operators:
&& - All fields must match
, - All fields must match
|| - At least one field must match
# - At least one field must match
! - Logical negation
( - Left parenthesis
) - Right parenthesis
[ - List start
] - List end
Selection list items are enclosed in '[' and ']' (if there's only
one item, the '[' and ']' can be omitted). Each element of the list
is a string (either quoted or unquoted, like the usual string operand
used in selection) and each element is delimited either by conjunction
(meaining "match all") or disjunction operator (meaning "match any").
For example, if "," is the conjuction operator and "/" is the
disjunction operator then:
lv_tags=[a,b,c]
...will match all fields where tags contain *all* a, b and c.
lv_tags=[a/b/c]
...will match all fields where tags contain *any* of a, b, or c.
Mixing operators within the list is not supported:
lv_tags=[a,b/c]
...will give an error.
The order in which items are defined in the selection do not matter.
This patch enhances the selection parsing functionality to recognize
such lists.
The {pv,vg,lv,seg}_tags and lv_modules fields are reported as string
lists using the new dm_report_field_string_list - so we just pass
the list to the fn that takes care of reporting and item sorting itself.
Add a separate dm_report_field_string_list fn to libdevmapper to
support reporting string lists. Before, the code used libdevmappers's
dm_report_field_string fn which required formatting the list to a
single string. This functionality is now moved to libdevmapper
and the code that needs to report the string list just needs
to pass the list itself and libdevmapper will take care of this.
This also enhances code reuse.
The dm_report_field_string_list also accepts an argument to define
custom delimiter to use. If not defined, a default "," (comma) is
used as item delimiter in the string list reported.
The dm_report_field_string_list automatically sorts the items in
the list before formatting it to a final string. It also encodes
the position and length within the final string where each element
can be found. This can be used to support checking against each
list item reported since since when formatted as a single string
for the actual report, we would lose this information otherwise
(we don't want to copy each item, the position and length within
the final string is enough for us to get the original items back).
When such lists are checked against the selection tree, we can check
each item individually this way and we can support operators like
"match any" and "match all".
The list of strings is used quite frequently and we'd like to reuse
this simple structure for report selection support too. Make it part
of libdevmapper for general reuse throughout the code.
This also simplifies the LVM code a bit since we don't need to
include and manage lvm-types.h anymore (the string list was the
only structure defined there).
This is rebased and edited version of the original design and
patch proposed by Jun'ichi Nomura:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2007-April/msg00025.html
The dm_report_init_with_selection is the same as dm_report_init
but it contains an additional argument to set the selection
in the form of a string that contains field names to check against and
selection operators. The selection string is parsend and a selection
tree is composed for use in the checks against individual fields when
the report is processed. The parsed selection tree is stored in dm_report
structure as "selection_root".
This is rebased and edited version of the original design and
patch proposed by Jun'ichi Nomura:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2007-April/msg00025.html
Add support for parsing numbers, strings (quoted or unquoted), regexes
and operators amogst these operands in selection condition supplied.
This is rebased and edited version of the original design and
patch proposed by Jun'ichi Nomura:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2007-April/msg00025.html
This patch defines operators and structures that will be used
to store the report selection against which the actual values
reported will be checked.
Selection operators
-------------------
Comparison operators:
=~ - Matching regular expression.
!~ - Not matching regular expression.
= - Equal to.
!= - Not equal to.
>= - Greater than or equal to.
> - Greater than
<= - Less than or equal to.
< - Less than.
Logical and grouping operators:
&& - All fields must match
, - All fields must match
|| - At least one field must match
# - At least one field must match
! - Logical negation
( - Left parenthesis
) - Right parenthesis
This makes it easier to check against the fields (following patches for
report selection) and check whether size units are allowed or not
with the field value.
Use NAME_LEN constant to simplify creation of device name.
Since the max size should be already tested in validation,
throw INTERNAL_ERROR if the size of vg/lv is bigger then NAME_LEN.
Let's use the size of origin as the real base for percenta calculation,
and 'silenly' add needed metadata space for snapshot.
So now command 'lvcreate -s -l100%ORIGIN vg/lv' should always create a
snapshot to handle full device overwrite.
Expresing -lXX%LV is not valid for snapshot, but error message for
snapshost case was not complete and missed %ORIGIN.
Also document correct settings for in manpage properly where
it missed %PVS.
While polling for snapshot, detect first the snapshot still
exits. It's valid to have multiple polling threads watching
for the same thing and just 1 can 'win' the finish part.
All others should nicely 'fail'.
If the we are polling an LV due to some sort of conversion and it
becomes inactive, a rather worrisome message is produced, e.g.:
" ABORTING: Mirror percentage check failed."
We can cleanly exit if we do a simple check to see if the LV is
active before performing the check. This eliminates the scary
message.
When creating a cache LV with a RAID origin, we need to ensure that
the sub-LVs of that origin properly change their names to include
the "_corig" extention of the top-level LV. We do this by first
performing a 'lv_rename_update' before making the call to
'insert_layer_for_lv'.
The thin-generic.profile contains settings for thin/thin pool volumes
suitable for generic environment/use containing default settings.
This allows users to change the global lvm.conf settings at will
and still keep the original settings for volumes that have this
thin profile assigned already.
Internal reporting function cannot handle NULL reporting value,
so ensure there is at least dummy label.
So move dummy_lable from tools/reporter.c and use it for all
report_object() calls in lib/report/report.c.
(Fixes RHBZ 1108394)
Simlify lvm_report_object initialization.
More updates to manglename option.
Add reference to LVM2 resource page, since for a long time,
this is the right places for sources for libdevmapper....
Add more time for tests, since debug kernels are getting slower...
and we add more and more tests.
However many test should be shortened to avoid testing disk-perfomance
and focus on lvm functionality...
(Often we should probably test with inactive volumes when we check
metadata operation of lvm2)
We may need to support option for 'DEEP' longer testing.
Also something like LVM_TEST_TIMEOUT_FACTOR might be useful
though it would be much better if test suite could approximete
from system perfomance test lenght...
Enable 'retry' deactivation also in 'cleanup' phase.
It shouldn't be mostly needed - however udev now produces
more and more completelny non-synchronizable device opens,
so even for orphan devices we can't easily predict where
udevd opens devices.
So it's more preferable here to log error about device being open
and retry clean, but let the command proceed.
And use ifdefs there, not exposing it in the tool code itself.
Later in the future, we should probably make the PIDFILE and
daemon checking code available also in case the daemon itself
is not built.
If the user supplies a '--yes' argument, then don't bother them with
a question to confirm whether to change the cluster attribute (even
if clvmd isn't running).
If clvmd is not running or the locking type is not clustered and someone
attempts to set the cluster attribute on a volume group, prompt them to
see if they are sure. (Only prompt for one though. If neither are true,
simply ask them once.)
Instead of rereading device list via cat - keep
the list in bash array. (Also solves problem
with spaces in device path)
Move usage of "$path" out of lvm shell usage,
since we don't support such thing there...
Replace AC_PATH_PROG with AC_PATH_TOOL.
Drop 'x' when already using "" around shell variable.
Simlify some long line and ifs.
Merge multiple test evaluation with '-a', '-o'.
Use 'case' instead if several ifs when it's more elegant.
Improve usage of pkg_config_init and add it where it's been missing.
Check for UDEV_HAS_BUILTIN_BLKID and when building udev-rules.
Since we advertise 'none' as mangling name, accept it.
Keep it backward compatible and leave disabled option still working
(though I guess there is likely no user of this option...)
When directly corrupting RAID images for the purpose of testing,
we must use direct I/O (or a 'sync' after the 'dd') to ensure that
the writes are not caught in the buffer cache in a way that is not
reachable by the top-level RAID device.
As part of better error handling, remove DM devices that have been
sucessfully created but failed to load a table. This can happen
when pvmove'ing in a cluster and the cluster mirror daemon is not
running on a remote node - the mapping table failing to load as a
result. In this case, any revert would work on other nodes running
cmirrord because the DM devices on those nodes did succeed in loading.
However, because no table was able to load on the non-cmirrord nodes,
there is no table present that points to what needs to be reverted.
This causes the empty DM device to remain on the system without being
present in any LVM representation.
This patch should only be considered a partial fix to the overall
problem. This is because only the device which failed to load a
table is removed. Any LVs that may have been loaded as requirements
to the DM device that failed to load may be left in place. Complete
clean-up will require tracking those devices which have been created
as dependencies and removing them along with the device that failed
to load a table.
Accidently it's been commited - but it has also shown,
that on heavy loaded systems (like our test machine could be)
slightly bigger timeouts which waits longer for udev rules
processing does help and avoids occasional refuse of deactivation
because device is still being open.
(i.e. lvcreate...; lvchange -an...)
Unsure how we could now synchronize for this. On very slow(/loaded)
system 5 second timeout is simply not enough.
TODO: introduce at least lvm.conf configurable setting to
allow longer 'retry' loops.
Unsure if this is feature or bug of syncaction,
but it needs to be present physically on the media
and it ignores content of buffer cache...
(maybe lvchange should implicitely fsync all disks
that are members of raid array before starting test??)
Check we know how to handle same UUID
Test currently does NOT work on lvmetad
(or it's unclear it even should - thus test error
is currently lowered to 'test warning')
TODO: replace lib/test with a better shell script name
Reindent lv_check_not_in_use to simplify internal loop code.
Also return always '0/1' (drop -1) - since we only
check for failure (0) - and we don't really know
why lv_info() has failed.
disable_dev can't use transaction - since it may lead occasionaly to
weird error - example could be nomda-missing.sh test case.
Here occasionaly device instead of being removed was left as
error device and testing different code path (which is unfortunatelly
buggy)
When we want to test 'error' device - 'aux error_dev()' should be used.
Warn when --udevcookie/DM_UDEV_COOKIE is used with 'dmsetup remove --force'.
When command is doing multiple ioctl operations on a single device,
it may invoke udev activity, that is colliding with further ioctl commands.
The result of such operation becomes unpredictable.
Use of --retry could partially help...
Disable code which has postprocessed whole tree and reset udev flags.
We need to find out which case was troublesome - since this loop
was just hidding bug in other code parts (most probably preload tree)
LVM has restricter character set that is allowed for VG-LV names
and the dm names constructed do not contain any blacklisted characters
that would require name mangling.
Also, when any other device-mapper device is scanned that could
possibly contain such blacklisted characters, we reference the
device by its major:minor instead of dm name (e.g. _device_is_usable fn).
The "default.profile" name was misleading. It's actually a helper
*template* that can be used for copying and further editing to create
a new profile.
Also, we have separate command and metadata profiles now so the templates
are separated as well - we can't mix profile settings from one group with
another - such profile is rejected by lvm tools.
Delay udev notification after the point udev transaction
is finished - since otherwise some device may still
be found missing until udev transaction is finished.
When MAN7, MAN8CLUSTER or MAN8SYSTEMD_GENERATORS would be empty,
don't call respective INSTALL tools.
On older systems they even generate error causing abort
of makefile target.
Warn user before converting volume to different type.
WARNING: Converting vg/lvol0 logical volume to pool's meta/data volume.
THIS WILL DESTROY CONTENT OF LOGICAL VOLUME (filesystem etc.)
Since the content of volume is lost we have to query user to confirm
such operation. If user is 100% sure, he may use '--yes' to avoid prompts.
The dumpconfig now understands --commandprofile/--profile/--metadataprofile
The --commandprofile and --profile functionality is almost the same
with only one difference and that is that the --profile is just used
for dumping the content, it's not applied for the command itself
(while the --commandprofile profile is applied like it is done for
any other LVM command).
We also allow --metadataprofile for dumpconfig - dumpconfig *does not*
touch VG/LV and metadata in any way so it's OK to use it here (just for
dumping the content, checking the profile validity etc.).
The validity of the profile can be checked with:
dumpconfig --commandprofile/--profile/--metadataprofile --validate
...depending on the profile type.
Also, mention --config in the dumpconfig help string so users know
that dumpconfig handles this too (it did even before, but it was not
documented in the help string).
- When defining configuration source, the code now uses separate
CONFIG_PROFILE_COMMAND and CONFIG_PROFILE_METADATA markers
(before, it was just CONFIG_PROFILE that did not make the
difference between the two). This helps when checking the
configuration if it contains correct set of options which
are all in either command-profilable or metadata-profilable
group without mixing these groups together - so it's a firm
distinction. The "command profile" can't contain
"metadata profile" and vice versa! This is strictly checked
and if the settings are mixed, such profile is rejected and
it's not used. So in the end, the CONFIG_PROFILE_COMMAND
set of options and CONFIG_PROFILE_METADATA are mutually exclusive
sets.
- Marking configuration with one or the other marker will also
determine the way these configuration sources are positioned
in the configuration cascade which is now:
CONFIG_STRING -> CONFIG_PROFILE_COMMAND -> CONFIG_PROFILE_METADATA -> CONFIG_FILE/CONFIG_MERGED_FILES
- Marking configuration with one or the other marker will also make
it possible to issue a command context refresh (will be probably
a part of a future patch) if needed for settings in global profile
set. For settings in metadata profile set this is impossible since
we can't refresh cmd context in the middle of reading VG/LV metadata
and for each VG/LV separately because each VG/LV can have a different
metadata profile assinged and it's not possible to change these
settings at this level.
- When command profile is incorrect, it's rejected *and also* the
command exits immediately - the profile *must* be correct for the
command that was run with a profile to be executed. Before this
patch, when the profile was found incorrect, there was just the
warning message and the command continued without profile applied.
But it's more correct to exit immediately in this case.
- When metadata profile is incorrect, we reject it during command
runtime (as we know the profile name from metadata and not early
from command line as it is in case of command profiles) and we
*do continue* with the command as we're in the middle of operation.
Also, the metadata profile is applied directly and on the fly on
find_config_tree_* fn call and even if the metadata profile is
found incorrect, we still need to return the non-profiled value
as found in the other configuration provided or default value.
To exit immediately even in this case, we'd need to refactor
existing find_config_tree_* fns so they can return error. Currently,
these fns return only config values (which end up with default
values in the end if the config is not found).
- To check the profile validity before use to be sure it's correct,
one can use :
lvm dumpconfig --commandprofile/--metadataprofile ProfileName --validate
(the --commandprofile/--metadataprofile for dumpconfig will come
as part of the subsequent patch)
- This patch also adds a reference to --commandprofile and
--metadataprofile in the cmd help string (which was missing before
for the --profile for some commands). We do not mention --profile
now as people should use --commandprofile or --metadataprofile
directly. However, the --profile is still supported for backward
compatibility and it's translated as:
--profile == --metadataprofile for lvcreate, vgcreate, lvchange and vgchange
(as these commands are able to attach profile to metadata)
--profile == --commandprofile for all the other commands
(--metadataprofile is not allowed there as it makes no sense)
- This patch also contains some cleanups to make the code handling
the profiles more readable...
Mark profilable settings with a separate CFG_PROFILABLE_METADATA
flag where the profile can be attached to VG/LV. This makes it possible
to differentiate global command-profilable settings (CFG_PROFILABLE flag)
and contextual metadata-profilable (per VG/LV) settings (CFG_PROFILABLE_METADATA flag).
The dumpconfig reuses existing config_def_check results in case
the check is done during general lvm command context initialization
(when enabled by config/checks=1) so dumpconfig does not need to run
the same check again during its execution, hence saving some time.
However, we don't check for differences from defaults during general
lvm command initialization as it's useless at that time. It makes
sense only in case when such a check is directly requested (like in
the case of lvm dumpconfig --type diff). We need to take care that
the reused information was already produced with this "diff" checking
before and if not, we need to force the check so the check status also
gathers the new "diff" info now.
Also, do not do diff checking for any other dumpconfig command that
is run after dumpconfig --type diff.
When cmd refresh is called, we need to move any already loaded profiles
to profiles_to_load list which will cause their reload on subsequent
use. In addition to that, we need to take into account any change
in config/profile configuration setting on cmd context refresh
since this setting could be overriden with --config.
Also, when running commands in the shell, we need to remove the
global profile used from the configuration cascade so the profile
is not incorrectly reused next time when the --profile option is
not specified anymore for the next command in the shell.
This bug only affected profile specified by --profile cmd line
arg, not profiles referenced from LVM metadata.
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.
Add CONFIG_FILE_SPECIAL config source id to make a difference between
real configuration tree (like lvm.conf and tag configs) and special purpose
configuration tree (like LVM metadata, persistent filter).
This makes it easier to attach correct customized data to the config
tree that is created out of the source then.
Since decisions in the silent mode may not be always obvious,
print skipped prompt with answer 'n'.
Also document '-qq' behaviour (single -q only shuts
logging, while -qq sets silent mode).
Share DM_REPORT_FIELD_RESERVED_NAME_{HELP,HELP_ALT} between libdm and
any libdm user to handle reserved field names, in this case the virtual
field name to show help instead of failing on unrecognized field.
The libdm user also needs to check the field name so it can fire
proper code in this case (cleanup, exit etc.).
Improve testing for needs_check - when old tools are installed,
issue proper warning from configure, but stop sending needs_check
flag to the old tool.
Support upto 3 levels os nesting signal blocking.
As of today - code blocks signals immediatelly when it opens
VG in read-write mode - this however makes current prompt usage
then partially unusable since user may not 'break' command
during prompt (something most user would expect).
Until a better fix for prompting is implemented, put in support
for signal nesting - thus when prompt enables signal acceptance,
make it possible to really break command at this point.
Adding log_sys_debug for eventual logging of system errors.
(Using debug level, since currently signal handling functions
do not fail when any error is encoutered).
The sysinit.target is ordered even before sockets.target and there
may be situations in which the lvmetad is needed early, for example
in rescue.target to activate some LVs on which mountpoints reside.
Also, like in the case of rescue.target, the sockets.target is not
pulled in (unless some other service pulls it in explicitly).
See also: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1087586#c26
for the summary of the problem.
When quering for dmeventd monitoring status, check first
if lvm2 is configured to monitor to avoid unwanted start
of dmeventd process for answering monitoring status.
When showing ACTIVE status for snapshot's origin,
avoid testing all its snapshot - it's not useful
to tell user origin is inactivate, while it's clearly
available and running - just one of its snapshot leg
is invalid...
Relocate info from thin pool and thin volume segments
to proper code section for segments.
Add discards and thin count status info.
Info is shown with 'lvdisplay --maps' (like for other segments).
For percentage display we need -tpool - so check for layered
device presence here instead of plain pool device.
Also update 'info' - so when pool is 'available' we
display open count for -tpool device instead of mostly
irrelevant pool.
TODO: Maybe we should actually display this open info always?
(even when just -tpool is available, but pool is not)
Emphesize virtual extents for virtual LVs and for
those use 'Virtual extents' instead of 'Logical extents',
so it's immeditatelly visible, which extents do have
straighforward physical backend.
While the 'raid1/10' segment types were being handled inadvertently
by '_move_mirrors()', the parity RAIDs were not being properly checked
to ensure that the user had specified all necessary PVs when moving
them. Thus, internal errors were being triggered when only part of
a RAID LV was moved to the new VG. I've added a new function,
'_move_raid()', which properly checks over any affected RAID LVs and
ensures that all the necessary PVs are being moved.
vgsplit of RAID volumes was problematic because the metadata area
and data areas were always on the same PVs. This problem is similar
to one that was just fixed for mirrors that had log and images sharing
a PV (commit 9ac858f). We can now add RAID LVs to the tests for
vgsplit.
Note that there still seems to be an issue when specifying an
incomplete set of PVs when moving RAID LVs.
Given a named mirror LV, vgsplit will look for the PVs that compose it
and move them to a new VG. It does this by first looking at the log
and then the legs. If the log is on the same device as one of the mirror
images, a problem occurs. This is because the PV is moved to the new VG
as the log is processed and thus cannot be found in the current VG when
the image is processed. The solution is to check and see if the PV we are
looking for has already been moved to the new VG. If so, it is not an
error.
ignore_suspended_devices=0 is already used in lvm.conf we distribute,
but it was still "1" in the code (so it was used when lvm.conf value
was not defined). It should be "0" too.
- better add reference to lvm dumpconfig --type default
than stating that lvmetad is not enabled by default
- substitute #DEFAULT_PID_DIR# with concrete value
Switch to allocate buffer from heap, since it might be potentially
bigger when extremaly large set of volumes would be monitored.
In case of allocation failure send ENOMEM message.
Also implicitelly ignore msg->size when msg->data is NULL.
Ensure daemon-io.h is used as a generic header included
with configure defines before other headers.
(In future all lvm2 libraries should settle on a single lib.h header)
Rename couple defines to better match header file names.
Config variables that are processed during setup prior to calling into
particular tools must not be accessed directly afterwards in case the
values already got overridden.
_process_config() already used the tests I'm removing here to call
lvmetad_set_active() and set up lvmetad_used().
This should be the preferred way of configuring lvm2 for udev/systemd
since otherwise one can end up with the processes run from udev (the
pvscan we run for lvmetad update on events) to be killed prematurely
and this can end up with LVM volumes not activated in the end.
This is sort of info we always ask people to retrieve when
inspecting problems in systemd environment so let's have this
as part of lvmdump directly.
The -s option does not need to be bound to systemd only. We could
add support for initscripts or any other system-wide/service tracking
info that can help us with debugging problems.
By default, the thin_pool_chunk_size is automatically calculated.
When defined, it disables the automatic calculation. So to be more
precise here, we should comment it out for the default.profile.
Also, "lvm dumpconfig --type profilable" was used here to generate
the default.profile content. This will be done automatically in the
future once we have the infrastructure for this in (see also
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1073415).
Perform two allocation attempts with cling if maximise_cling is set,
first with then without positional fill.
Avoid segfaults from confusion between positional and sorted sequential
allocation when number of stripes varies as reported here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-lvm/2014-March/msg00001.html
Set A_POSITIONAL_FILL if the array of areas is being filled
positionally (with a slot corresponding to each 'leg') rather
than sequentially (with all suitable areas found, to be sorted
and selected from).
Since the kill may take various amount of time,
(especially when running with valgrind)
check it's really pvmoved LV.
Restore initial restart of clvmd - it's currently
broken at various moments - basically killed lvm2
command may leave clvmd and confusing state leading
to reports of internal errors.
Prior adding new reply to the list, check
if the reply thread is not already finished.
In that case discard adding message
(which would otherwise be leaked).
Use mutex to access localsock values, so check
num_replies when the thread is not yet finished.
Check for threadid prior the mutex taking
(though this check is probably not really needed)
Added complexity with extra reply mutex is not worth the troubles.
The only place which may slightly benefit from this mutex is timeout
and since this is rather error case - let's convert it to
localsock.mutex and keep it simple.
Move the pthread mutex and condition creation and destroy
to correct place right after client memory is allocatedd
or is going to be released.
In the original place it's been in race with lvm thread
which could have still unlock mutex while it's been already
destroyed.
When TEST_MODE flag is passed around the cluster,
it's been use in thread unprotected way, so it may have
influenced behaviour of other running parallel lvm commands
(activation/deactivation/suspend/resume).
Fix it by set/query function only under lvm mutex.
For hold_un/lock function calls check lock_flags bits directly.
When pvmove0 is finished, it replaces temporarily pvmove0
with error segment, however in this case, pvmove0 remains
unremovable in case pvmove --abort is interrupted in this
moment - since it's not a pvmove anymore and normal
lvremove can't be used to remove LOCKED lv.
There were two bugs before when using pvcreate --restorefile together
with data alignment and its offset specified:
- the --dataalignment was always ignored due to missing braces in the
code when validating the divisibility of supplied --dataalignment
argument with pe_start which we're just restoring:
if (pp->rp.pe_start % pp->data_alignment)
log_warn("WARNING: Ignoring data alignment %" PRIu64
" incompatible with --restorefile value (%"
PRIu64").", pp->data_alignment, pp->rp.pe_start);
pp->data_alignment = 0
The pp->data_alignment should be zeroed only if the pe_start is not
divisible with data_alignment.
- the check for compatibility of restored pe_start was incorrect too
since it did not properly count with the dataalignmentoffset that
could be supplied together with dataalignment
The proper formula is:
X * dataalignment + dataalignmentoffset == pe_start
So it should be:
if ((pp->rp.pe_start % pp->data_alignment) != pp->data_alignment_offset) {
...ignore supplied dataalignment and dataalignment offset...
}
In general for non-toplevel LVs we shouldn't allow any _tree_action.
For now error on request for cache_pool activation which
doesn't even exist in dm-table.
If there ever would be a second call to dm_lib_init()
and envvar would be improperly set, some last set value
would be used while it should reset to default mangling mode.
When the node enters dtree with implicit dependency, it
automatically has udev flags from parent node
and could not be changed later when the node has been
entered again via i.e lvm's preload tracking.
Resolve this by tracking whether the node has been
created by implicit dependency tracking or has been
entered explicitely. Implicit node could be later
upgraded by an explicit _add_dev() with proper udev_flags.
For implicit devices add special udev flags to avoid
any scan and udev rule processing if we resume such device.
Patch allows easier removing of orphan nodes.
When down-converting a RAID1 LV, if the user specifies too few devices,
they will get a confusing message.
Ex:
[root]# lvcreate -m 2 --type raid1 -n raid -L 500M taft
Logical volume "raid" created
[root]# lvconvert -m 0 taft/raid /dev/sdd1
Unable to extract enough images to satisfy request
Failed to extract images from taft/raid
This patch makes the error message a bit clearer by telling the user
the count they are trying to remove and the number of devices they
supplied.
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvcreate --type raid1 -m 3 -L 200M -n lv vg
Logical volume "lv" created
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvconvert -m -3 vg/lv /dev/sdb1
Unable to remove 3 images: Only 1 device given.
Failed to extract images from vg/lv
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvconvert -m -3 vg/lv /dev/sd[bc]1
Unable to remove 3 images: Only 2 devices given.
Failed to extract images from vg/lv
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvconvert -m -3 vg/lv /dev/sd[bcd]1
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvs -a -o name,attr,devices vg
LV Attr Devices
lv -wi-a----- /dev/sde1(1)
This patch doesn't work in all cases. The user can specify the right
number of devices, but not a sufficient amount of devices from the LV.
This will produce the old error message:
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvconvert -m -3 vg/lv /dev/sd[bcf]1
Unable to extract enough images to satisfy request
Failed to extract images from vg/lv
However, I think this error message is sufficient for this case.
Since the usability problem were fixed, we can use this function.
Cleanup orphan LVs with TEMPORARY flags
(reduces couple blkid error reports, but couple of them
is still left...)
Since cache segment is purely virtual mapping, it has nothing for
discard. Discardable is cache origin here which is now
properly removed on 'delete' phase.
Plain lv_empty() call needs to only detach cache origin and leave
origin unchanged.
This test for LV name restriction check name of device is below 128
chars (which is enforced by dm target).
Thus it should not count with device name.
(Though the test for PATH_MAX size should be probably also added,
but this is runtime test, since theoretically devpath might differ in cluster)
It's unclear why we should prohibit use of -v output.
So reenable (like with other 'display' tools)
But -c -m is really unsupported - return invalid cmd.
Sort order for -C|--columns as with other options,
and use short capital name as the first (as with other options).
Also drop multiple reference for pvs/lvs/vgs, since now
the text for -C is really close to referrence of lvm anyway.
TODO:
It seems commit 7e685e6c70
has changed the old logic, when 'pvs device_name' used
to work. (regression from 2.02.104)
Currently put in extra pvscan.
Drop unused passed cmd pointer from function.
TODO:
We have two similar functions (though not identical)
lv_manip.c: for_each_sub_lv()
metadata.c: _lv_each_dependency()
They seem to not always match - we should probably convert
to use only a single function.
Use proper vgmem memory pool for allocation of LV name in the vg
and check if new renamed LV is a valid name.
TODO: validation should really use also VG name, othewise we are not
able to tell "vgname-lvname" will be valid.
Commit 1a832398a7 moved
some code from _pvchange_single() to main pvchange() and
introduced exit code regression as return codes have not
been properly changed, thus pvchange command exited
with '0' exit code, even though it has reported error.
Also there is a missing vg unlock in error path.
Fix it by counting the total number of expected calls before
checking for pvname and also unlock and relase vg when
pv is not found.
For a quick overview of config when debugging and to quickly check
which values are different from defaults and which are not defined
in the config and for which defaults are used.
If clvmd does not hold any lock, it should also not keep any opened
device.
The reason for this patch is, that refresh_toolcontext calls
dev_cache_exit() which destroys whole device cache (even those with
opened file) - previous patch added recovery path to avoid memory
corruption, but opened files are still bugs that need to be fixed.
So this patch certainly kills many internal mirror & raid tests,
since they leak opened file descriptors (when tests are executed
with 'abort_on_error').
Operate with lvm_thread_exit while holding lvm_thread_mutex.
Don't leave unfinished work in the lvm thread queue
and always finish all queued tasks before exit,
so no cmd struct is left in the list.
(in-release fix)
When lvm2 command works with clvmd and uses locking in wrong way,
it may 'leak' certain file descriptors in opened (incorrect) state.
dev_cache_exit then destroys memory pool of cached devices, while
_open_devices list in dev-io.c was still referencing them if they
were still opened.
Patch properly calls _close() function to 'self-heal' from this
invalid state, but it will report internal error (so execution
with abort_on_internal_error causes immediate death). On the
normal 'execution', error is only reported, but memory state is
corrected, and linked list is not referencing devices from
released mempool.
For crash see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1073886
When we're trying to search for certain tree node
in daemon's reply, we default to a blank string ""
if the node is not found. This happens during lvmetad
initialization.
However, when the default blank string is used, we
can't use dm_config_find_str at the same time - the
dm_config_find_str_allow_empty should be used instead.
Otherwise a a warning message:
"WARNING: Ignoring unsupported value for ..."
is issued.
Before:
thin_disabled_features = ""
Now:
thin_disabled_features = []
Which is a more correct and consistent way of specifying void array
though parses can handle both forms.
Smallest supported size for swap device is 40KB, however current
test skipped devices smaller then 4096 sectors (2MB).
Since page is in bytes, convert it to sectors before comparing
with device size (in sectors).
We have to close cluster in some predicatable way,
otherwise we may access released memory from different
threads.
So move closedown till the point we know all thread
are closed. New messages from cluster are discarded.
When multiple threads act on the same 'quit' variable
the order of exit becomes unpredictable.
So let the main_loop() finish first and then clean up
all queued lvm jobs.
Do not add any new work, when lvm_thread_exit is set.
Properly clean 'client' structure only for LOCAL_SOCK type.
(Fixes bug from commit 460c19df62)
(in release fix)
Also cleanup-up associated pthreads by using cleanup_zombie() function.
Since this function may change the list, restart scanning always from
the list header.
Note: couple following patches are necessary to make this working properly.
When daemon releases memory and it is still in critical
section, issue an error message and drop memory.
We cannot do anything better for now and we at least
release allocated resource.
FIXME:
This code is triggered when i.e. clvmd is killed while
some LVs are suspend - in this case suspended devices leak,
so if this happens during i.e. clvmd upgrade we have
unresolved problem - even locked rootfs...
This function is typically called for cmd context refresh or destroy.
On the non-clustered case we already unlocked all messages,
however when i.e. 'clvmd' gets break signal it may have
still couple messages queued.
For now just report an error.
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.
There are two types of CPG communications in a corosync cluster:
messages and state transitions. Cmirrord processes the state
transitions first.
When a cluster mirror issues a POSTSUSPEND, it signals the end of
cluster communication with the rest of the nodes in the cluster.
The POSTSUSPEND marks the last communication of the 'message'
type that will go around the cluster. The node then calls
cpg_leave which causes a final 'state transition' communication to
all of the nodes. Once the out-going node receives its own state
transition notice from the cluster, it finalizes the leave. At this
point, the state of the log is 'INVALID'; but it is possible that
there remains some cluster trafic that was queued up behind the
state transition that still wants to be processed. It is harmless
to attempt to dispatch any remaining messages - they won't be
delivered because the node is no longer in the cluster. However,
there was a warning message that was being printed in this case
that is now removed by this patch. The failure of the dispatch
created a false positive condition that triggered the message.
pvscan --uuid was broken since it was using only 128 char buffers
without checking any write size, so any longer device path leads to
crash.
Also ansure format is properly aligned into columns with this option.

Instead of sending repeatedly LOCAL_SYNC commands to clvmds
like 'lvs', rememeber the last sent commmand, and if there was no other
clvmd command, drop this redundant SYNC call message.
The problem has started with commit:
56cab8cc03
This introduced correct synchronisation of name, when user requests to know
open_count (needs to wait for udev), however it is also executed for
read-only cases like 'lvs' command.
For now implement very simple solution, which is only monitoring
outgoing clvmd command, and when sequence of LOCAL sync names are
recognized, they are skipped automatically.
TODO:
Future solution might move this variable info 'cmd_context' and
use 'needs_sync' flag also i.e. in file locking code.
When the backup is disabled, avoid testing backup presence.
This only leads to errors being logged in debug trace and the missing
backup can't be fixed, since it's disabled.
Check whether lvm dumpconfig --mergedconfig is used only
with --type current (where we're merging current config and
the config supplied on command line). With other types
the config was merged, but it was thrown away since we're
generating other type of config anyway. This lead to a memleak.
Error out if --mergedconfig is used with anything else than
--type current (or without specifying --type in which case
the --type current is used by default).
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.
The global/suffix was missing from example lvm.conf but it can
be very useful when using lvm in scripts and now in profiles as well
Let's expose it more.

Delay archiving of metadata until we really start to
update metadata when converting volume into a snapshot.
Archive is not necessary when we abort operation early.
Do not allow conversion of too small LV into a COW snapshot device.
Without this patch snapshot target is generating these kernel
messages before creation fails:
attempt to access beyond end of device
dm-9: rw=16, want=8, limit=2
attempt to access beyond end of device
...
device-mapper: table: 253:11: snapshot: Failed to read snapshot metadata
device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table
device-mapper: reload ioctl on failed: Input/output error
Create a separate function to validation snapshot min chunk value
and relocate code into snapshot_manip file.
This function will be shared with lvconvert then.
Usage of origin as a snapshot 'COW' volume is unsupported.
Without this test lvm2 is able to generate this ugly internal error message.
To test this:
lvcreate -L1 -n lv1 vg
lvcreate -L1 -n lv2 -s vg/lv1
lvcreate -L1 -n lv3 vg
lvconvert -s vg/lv3 vg/lv1
Internal error: LVs (5) != visible LVs (1) + snapshots (1) + internal LVs (0) in VG vg
Users can create several profiles for how the tools report
the output very easily and then just use
<lvm reporting command> --profile <report_profile_name>
We need to use "--verifyudev" for dmsetup mangle command used in
the name-mangling test since without the --verifyudev, we'd end up
with the failed rename.
Also, add direct check for the dev nodes - node with old name must
be gone and node with new name must be present. Before, we checked
just the output of the command.
One bug popped up here when renaming with udev and libdevmapper
fallback checking the udev when target mangle mode is "none"
(fixme added in the libdevmapper's node rename code).
This prevents numerous VG refreshes on each "pvscan --cache -aay" call
if the VG is found complete. We need to issue the refresh only if the PV:
- is new
- was gone before and now it reappears (device "unplug/plug back" scenario)
- the metadata has changed
"%d" in buffer_append_vf is 64 bit wide. Using just `int` for the

Reorder detection for internal device - since this test
is much simpler then target analysis, check it sooner.
Replace test for '68' with sizeof & ID_LEN
Add FIXME about device alias problem with is_reserved_lvname,
since this test fails on devices like /dev/dm-X
so we need to convert tests to UUID.
Let's do this the other way round - this makes more logic than commit b995f06.
So let's allow empty values for global/thin_disabled_features where
such an empty value now means "none of this features are disabled".
The global/thin_disabled_features should be marked as having no default
value. Otherwise the output from 'lvm dumpconfig --type default' would
have 'thin_disabled_features=""' which will produce an error message
'Ignoring empty string in config file ...' if such output is feed
back to lvm.
Even though we make pool volume as a public visible LV,
we still do not want tools to look at this volume.
While we do not create /dev/vg/lv link, device is still
accessible via /dev/mapper/vg-lv and there is no easy
way to recognize it's private without lvm2 metadata.
Enhance UUID with -pool suffix and directly skip
any LV with a suffix in device_is_usable() call.
TODO: enhance other targets with this logic.
blkid may probably use same simple logic.
When we create thin-pool we have used trick to keep
volume active, but since we now support TEMPORARY flag,
we could just localy active & deactive metadata LV,
and let the thinpool through normal activation process.
The empty pool is also the pool which has yet queued list of messages
and transaction_id == 1.
Problem is exposed when pool is created inactive.
lvcreate -L10 -T vg/pool -an
lvcreate -V10 -T vg/pool
When pool_has_message() is queried with NULL lv and 0 device_id
it should just return 'true' when there is any message queued.
So it needs to return negative value dm_list_empty().
Since there is no user for this code path in code currently,
this bug has not been triggered.
When the last entry in the timeout queue is unregistered,
wakeup sleeping condition, so the thread is deleted earlier.
So the thread resource is release earlier.
Also when monitored with tools like valgrind this eliminites reported
leak.
Individual events are handled through separate threads,
so once we have more then a single thread in this eventwait
sleeping, we got race on the dm_log setting, since
if one event is timeout out on alarm, while another is still waiting,
then dm log has been restored to NULL and the next sigalarm
has been reported as error.
Fix it by introducing counter which is protected via mutex,
and only when the last event is released, logging is restored.
TODO: libdm seems to have some static vars which may audit

This patch will releases allocated private resources from

TODO: check on real cluster.
We can't use mempool for temporary variable for configuration path inside
find_config_tree_* functions since these functions can use the mempool
themselves deeper in the code and we can free mempool chunks only from
top to bottom which is not the case here (some default string
configuration values can be allocated from the mempool).
Don't add blkid to every linkage.

The same as for allocation/thin_pool_chunk_size - the default value
used is just a starting point. The calculation continues using the
properties of the devices actually used.
The allocation/thin_pool_chunk_size is a bit more complex. It's default
value is evaluated in runtime based on selected thin_pool_chunk_size_policy.
But the value is just a starting point. The calculation then continues
with dependency on the properties of the devices used. Which means for
such a default value, we know only the starting value.
If the config setting is defined as having no default value, but it's
still not NULL, it means such a value acts as a *hint* only
(e.g. a starting value from which the default value is calculated).
The new "cfg_def_get_default_value_hint" will always return the value
as defined in config_settings.h.
The original "cfg_def_get_default_value" will always return 0/NULL if
the config setting is defined with CFG_DEFAULT_UNDEFINED flag (hence
ignoring the hint).
This is needed for proper distiction between a correct default value
and the value which is just a hint or a starting point in calculation,
but it's not the final value (yes, we do have such settings!).
The devices/cache and devices/cache_dir are evaluated in runtime this way:
- if devices/cache is set, use it
- if devices_cache/dir or devices/cache_file_prefix is set, make up a
path out of that for devices/cache in runtime, taking into account
the LVM_SYSTEM_DIR environment variable if set
- otherwise make up the path out of default which is:
<LVM_SYSTEM_DIR>/<cache_dir>/<cache_file_prefix>.cache
With the runtime defaults, we can encode this easily now. Also, the lvm
dumpconfig can show proper and exact information about this setting then
(the variant that shows default values).
Previously, we declared a default value as undefined ("NULL") for
settings which require runtime context to be set first (e.g. settings
for paths that rely on SYSTEM_DIR environment variable or they depend
on any other setting in some way).
If we want to output default values as they are really used in runtime,
we should make it possible to define a default value as function which
is evaluated, not just providing a firm constant value as it was before.
This patch defines simple prototypes for such functions. Also, there's
new helper macros "cfg_runtime" and "cfg_array_runtime" - they provide
exactly the same functionality as the original "cfg" and "cfg_array"
macros when defining the configuration settings in config_settings.h,
but they don't set the constant default value. Instead, they automatically
link the configuration setting definition with one of these functions:
typedef int (*t_fn_CFG_TYPE_BOOL) (struct cmd_context *cmd, struct profile *profile);
typedef int (*t_fn_CFG_TYPE_INT) (struct cmd_context *cmd, struct profile *profile);
typedef float (*t_fn_CFG_TYPE_FLOAT) (struct cmd_context *cmd, struct profile *profile);
typedef const char* (*t_fn_CFG_TYPE_STRING) (struct cmd_context *cmd, struct profile *profile);
typedef const char* (*t_fn_CFG_TYPE_ARRAY) (struct cmd_context *cmd, struct profile *profile);
(The new macros actually set the CFG_DEFAULT_RUNTIME flag properly and
set the default value link to the function accordingly).
Then such configuration setting requires a function of selected type to
be defined. This function has a predefined name:
get_default_<id>
...where the <id> is the id of the setting as defined in
config_settings.h. For example "backup_archive_dir_CFG" if defined
as a setting with default value evaluated in runtime with "cfg_runtime"
will automatically have "get_default_backup_archive_dir_CFG" function
linked to this setting to get the default value.
Using mempool is much safer than using the global static variable.
The global variable would be rewritten on each find_config_tree_* call
and we need to be very careful not to get into this problem (we don't
do now, but we can with the patches for "runtime defaults" that will follow).
These settings don't have any default value predefined:
log/file
log/activate_file
global/library_dir
This settings has default value but not yet declared in config_settings.h:
global/locking_library (default is DEFAULT_LOCKING_LIB)
cmirrord polls for messages on the kernel and cluster interfaces.
Sometimes it is possible for messages to be received on the cluster
interface and be waiting for processing while the node is in the
process of leaving the cluster group. When this happens, the
messages received on the cluster interface are attempted to be
dispatched, but an error is returned because the connection is no
longer valid. It is a harmless situation. So, if we get the
specific error (CS_ERR_BAD_HANDLE) and we know that we have left
the group, then simply don't print the message.
If the PV label is lost (e.g. by doing a dd on the device), call
"systemd-run pvscan --cache <major>:<minor>" in 69-dm-lvm-metad.rules
to inform lvmetad about this state.
The reason for this is that ENV{SYSTEMD_WANTS}="lvm2-pvscan@<major>:<minor>"
logic will not cause the pvscan to be fired in this case since this works
only on proper device addition/removal cycle - the lvm2-pvscan service's
ExecStop is called only on proper REMOVE event - the service is bound to
device existence. Hence we need pvscan call via systemd-run (that
instantiates a quick transient service just to call the command).
See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1063813.
It's not so easy to recongnize unusable /dev/kmsg
Reorder the code in a way if the first regular read of /dev/kmsg
fail, fallback to klogctl interface.
Call drain_dmesg also for the case there is no user log output.
Add a bit more complexity here - Switch to use /dev/kmsg
which has been introduced in 3.5 kernels and could run without
lossing lines from /proc/kmsg.
On older systems user may set env var LVM_TEST_CAN_CLOBBER_DMESG=1
to get kernel messages via klogctl() call (which deletes dmesg buffer)
otherwise no logging of kernel messages is provided.
Since there could be multiple readers of kmsg (test & journald) it needs
to be fast, to capture things like sysrq trace.
But to capture whole output it would need to prioritize reading of kmsg,
thus we would first log kernel messages and followed by command output.
As a trade-off always log command output first and use large drain
buffer so is captures most of messages, but occasionaly miss some
lines.
Use separate files for raid1, raid456, raid10.
They need different target versions to work, so support
more precise test selection.
Optimize duplicate tests of target avalability and skip
unsupported test cases sooner.
Basically reverts commit af8580d756.
"test: Use klogctl in the harness instead of reading /var/log/messages."
Problem is - this interface clears dmesg buffer
(just like call of dmesg -c)
Thus after running lvm2 test suitedmesg is empty - while all the
messages are usually logged in the journal/message, it's still not nice to
clear dmesg buffer.
It's not a pure revert, but switch to use /proc/kmsg directly instead of

In cases where PV appears on a new device without disappearing from an old one
first, the device->pvid pointers could become ambiguous. This could cause the
ambiguous PV to be lost from the cache when a different PV comes up on one of
the ambiguous devices.
This is probably not optimal, but makes the lvmetad case mimic non-lvmetad code
more closely. It also fixes vgremove of a partially corrupt VG with lvmetad, as
_vg_write_raw (and consequently, entire vg_write) currently panics when it
encounters a corrupt MDA. Ideally, we'd be able to explicitly control when it is
safe to ignore them.
%FREE allocation has been broken for RAID. At 100%FREE, there is
still an extent left for certain tests. For now, change the test
to warn rather than completely fail.
Move flags for segments to segtype header where it seems more closely
related as the features are related to segtype and not activation.
Use unsigned #define - since it's more common in lvm2 source code
for bit flags.
Condition was swapped - however since it's been based on 'random'
memory content it's been missed as attribute has not been set.
So now we have quite a few possible results when testing.
We have old status without separate metadata and
we have kernels with fixed snapshot leak bug.
(in-release update)
Code uses target driver version for better estimation of
max size of COW device for snapshot.
The bug can be tested with this script:
VG=vg1
lvremove -f $VG/origin
set -e
lvcreate -L 2143289344b -n origin $VG
lvcreate -n snap -c 8k -L 2304M -s $VG/origin
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/$VG/snap bs=1M count=2044 oflag=direct
The bug happens when these two conditions are met
* origin size is divisible by (chunk_size/16) - so that the last
metadata area is filled completely
* the miscalculated snapshot metadata size is divisible by extent size -
so that there is no padding to extent boundary which would otherwise
save us

While stripe size is twice the physical extent size,
the original code will not reduce stripe size to maximum
(physical extent size).

Switch to use ext2 to make it usable on older systems.
Previous test has not been able to catching problem.
Multiple tests are now put in.
FIXME: validate what is doing kernel target when
the header is undeleted and same chunk size is used.
It seems snapshot target successfully resumes and
just complains COW is not big enough:
kernel: dm-8: rw=0, want=40, limit=24
kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device
When chunk size is different it fails instantly.
For checking this with lvm2 and this test case use this patch:
--- a/tools/lvcreate.c
+++ b/tools/lvcreate.c

and switch to use -c 4 for both snapshots
When read-only snapshot was created, tool was skipping header
initialization of cow device. If it happened device has been
already containing header from some previous snapshot, it's
been 'reused' for a newly created snapshot instead of being cleared.
To make "lvm dumpconfig --type default" output to be usable like any
other config, we need to comment out lines that have no default value
defined. Otherwise, we'd have the output with config options
with blank or zero values which is not the same as when the value
is not defined! And such configuration can't be feed into lvm again
without further edits. So let's fix this.
Currently this covers these configuration options exactly:
devices/loopfiles

The code seems to work fine for the most trivial case - moving a
simple cache LV. However, it can cause problems when trying to
split out other LVs on different VGs and there hasn't been sufficient
testing for LV stacks that contain cache to enable the code. So,
we actively disable what is already broken and wait for the next
release to fix it.
Start to convert percentage size handling in lvresize to the new
standard. Note in the man pages that this code is incomplete.
Fix a regression in non-percentage allocation in my last check in.
This is what I am aiming for:
-l<extents>
-l<percent> LV/ORIGIN
sets or changes the LV size based on the specified quantity
of logical logical extents (that might be backed by
a higher number of physical extents)
-l<percent> PVS/VG/FREE
sets or changes the LV size so as to allocate or free the
desired quantity of physical extents (that might amount to a
lower number of logical extents for the LV concerned)
-l+50%FREE - Use up half the remaining free space in the VG when
carrying out this operation.
-l50%VG - After this operation, this LV should be using up half the
space in the VG.
-l200%LV - Double the logical size of this LV.
-l+100%LV - Double the logical size of this LV.
-l-50%LV - Reduce the logical size of this LV by half.
Reorder detection of cmirrord. Now if cmirrord is not
running, target will not try to load kernel log module,
for communication with cmirrord.
Whole check for attrs now also happens just once.
Test raid10 availability as a target feature (instead of doing
it in all the places where raid10 should be checked).
TODO: activation needs runtime validation - so metadata with raid10
are skipped from activation in user-friendly way in lvm2.
Parsing vg structure during supend/commit/resume may require a lot of
memory - so move this into vg_write.
FIXME: there are now multiple cache layers which our doing some thing
multiple times at different levels. Moreover there is now different
caching path with and without lvmetad - this should be unified
and both path should use same mechanism.
Reuse _node_send_messages for just checking
for valid transaction_id with preload.
This allows earlier detection of incosistent thin pool.
Code does the same thing, except for sending messages.
Improve testing of transation_id to not allow other difference
then either kernel TID is equal or is lower by oned and there
are queued messages for transaction.
Mark messages as submitted if the transaction_id is already matching.
Do not try to deactivate node on failure here and leave it on
proper error path of the caller.
Deactivation of top level node has to happen,
before traversing subtree.
Swap list logic and rather append new nodes to the head
and then use normal iteration.
(in-release update)
Skip over LVs that have a cache LV in their tree of LV dependencies
when performing a pvmove.
This means that users cannot move a cache pool or a cache LV's origin -
even when that cache LV is used as part of another LV (e.g. a thin pool).
The new test (pvmove-cache-segtypes.sh) currently builds up various LV
stacks that incorporate cache LVs. pvmove tests are then performed to
ensure that cache related LVs are /not/ moved. Once pvmove is enabled
for cache, those tests will switch to ensuring that the LVs /are/
moved.
Several fixes for the recent changes that treat allocation percentages
as upper limits.
Improve messages to make it easier to see what is happening.
Fix some cases that failed with errors when they didn't need to.
Fix crashes when first_seg() returns NULL.
Remove a couple of log_errors that were actually debugging messages.
Test currently fails with make check_cluster - so uses 'should'

Remove 'skip' argument passed into the function.
We always used '0' - as this is the only supported
option (-K) and there is no complementary option.
Also add some testing for behaviour of skipping.
We already have /dev/disk/by-id/dm-uuid-... (which encompasses the
VG UUID and LV UUID in case of LVs since the mapping's UUID is
VG+LV UUID together) and /dev/disk/by-id/dm-name-... (which encompasses
the VG and LV name in case of LVs).
This patch addds /dev/disk/by-id/lvm-pv-uuid-<PV_UUID> that completes
this scheme and makes navigation a bit easier using PV UUIDs since
one can navigate using PV UUIDs only and there's no need to do extra
PV UUID <--> kernel name matching (the PV UUID is stable across reboots).
This may come in handy in various scripts.
Since we already have the PV UUID stored in udev database (as a result
of blkid call - returned in ID_FS_UUID blkid's variable), this operation
is very cheap indeed, just creating the extra one symlink.
There are typically 2 functions for the more advanced segment types that
deal with parameters in lvcreate.c: _get_*_params() and _check_*_params().
(Not all segment types name their functions according to this scheme.)
The former function is responsible for reading parameters before the VG
has been read. The latter is for sanity checking and possibly setting
parameters after the VG has been read.
This patch adds a _check_raid_parameters() function that will determine
if the user has specified 'stripe' or 'mirror' parameters. If not, the
proper number is computed from the list of PVs the user has supplied or
the number that are available in the VG. Now that _check_raid_parameters()
is available, we move the check for proper number of stripes from
_get_* to _check_*.
This gives the user the ability to create RAID LVs as follows:
# 5-device RAID5, 4-data, 1-parity (i.e. implicit '-i 4')
~> lvcreate --type raid5 -L 100G -n lv vg /dev/sd[abcde]1
# 5-device RAID6, 3-data, 2-parity (i.e. implicit '-i 3')
~> lvcreate --type raid6 -L 100G -n lv vg /dev/sd[abcde]1
# If 5 PVs in VG, 4-data, 1-parity RAID5
~> lvcreate --type raid5 -L 100G -n lv vg
Considerations:
This patch only affects RAID. It might also be useful to apply this to
the 'stripe' segment type. LVM RAID may include RAID0 at some point in
the future and the implicit stripes would apply there. It would be odd
to have RAID0 be able to auto-determine the stripe count while 'stripe'
could not.
The only draw-back of this patch that I can see is that there might be
less error checking. Rather than informing the user that they forgot
to supply an argument (e.g. '-i'), the value would be computed and it
may differ from what the user actually wanted. I don't see this as a
problem, because the user can check the device count after creation
and remove the LV if they have made an error.
When clustered VG is available in the system but we don't have
clustering set up for whatever reason, the lvm2-monitor scripts should
not fail completely just because these clustered VGs are skipped during
vgs/vgchange calls in lvm2-monitor initscript/systemd unit.
Avoid introducing libdm structure allocated in library user.
Use direct call with all currently supported args.
When new arg is added, new function will cover it.
When an origin exists and the 'lvcreate' command is used to create
a cache pool + cache LV, the table is loaded into the kernel but
never instantiated (suspend/resume was never called). A user running
LVM commands would never know that the kernel did not have the
proper state unless they also ran the dmsetup 'table/status' command.
The solution is to suspend/resume the cache LV to make the loaded
tables become active.
Do not use default dependencies that systemd adds to the units
so we have better control of when the service is started/stopped
and we don't end up with unexpected behaviour.
When the activation units are generated if use_lvmetad=0 (no
autoactivation), use --ignoreskippedcluster option for vgchange calls
since the cluster with cLVM is set up by separate units.
This avoids a situation in which the generated activation units are
improperly in failed state just because of the vgchange return value
when clustered VGs are encountered while the activation of non-clustered
VGs does proceed normally.
Introduce a new parameter called "approx_alloc" that is set when the
desired size of a new LV is specified in percentage terms. If set,
the allocation code tries to get as much space as it can but does not
fail if can at least get some.
One of the practical implications is that users can now specify 100%FREE
when creating RAID LVs, like this:
~> lvcreate --type raid5 -i 2 -l 100%FREE -n lv vg
I've added an "Advanced Logical Volume Types" section that I hope
to contain information on the logical volume types that may use
multiple steps and multiple commands to create. Cache is the
first entry into this section. I'd like to see thin and RAID in
here in the future.
Update the man page so the user knows that dm-cache 1.3.0 module
is needed. Also, enforce that in the code and print a warning if
the module is not new enough.
Users now have the ability to convert their existing logical volumes
into cached logical volumes. A cache pool LV must be specified using
the '--cachepool' argument. The cachepool is the small, fast LV used
to cache the large, slow LV that is being converted.
This patch allows users to convert existing logical volumes into
cache pool LVs. Since cache pool LVs consist of data and metadata
sub-LVs, there is also the '--poolmetadata' (similar to thin_pool)
which allows for the specification of the metadata device.
Replace some in-test use of lvs commands with their check
and get equivalent.
Advantage is these 'checking' commands are not necessarily always
valiadated via extensive valgrind testing and also the output noice
is significantly reduces since the output of check/get is suppressed.
lv_active_change will enforce proper activation.
Modification of activation was wrong and lead to misuse of
autoactivation. Fix allows to use proper local exclusive activation,
while the removed code turned this into just exclusive
activation (losing required local property).
lvm2_cluster_activation_red_hat.service.in -> lvm2_cluster_activation_systemd_red_hat.service.in
lvm2_clvmd_red_hat.service.in -> lvm2_clvmd_red_hat.service.in
Edit lvm2-cluster-activation reference on cmirror - take new
lvm2-cmirrord.service, it was just cmirrord(.service) before
as the old initscript was used in compatibility mode.
Also, use WantedBy=multi-user.target instead of sysinit.target
in lvm2-cluster-activation.service.
The commit splits original clvmd service in two new native services
for systemd enabled systems while original init scripts remain unaltered.
New systemd native services:
1) clvmd daemon itself (lvm2_clvmd_red_hat.service.in)
2) (de)activation of clustered VGs (lvm2_cluster_activation_red_hat.service.in)
There're several reasons to split it. First, there's no support for conditional
stop in systemd and AFAIK they don't plan to support it. In other words:
if the deactivation fails for some reason, systemd doesn't care and will simply
kill all remaining processes in original cgroup (by default). Killing the
remaining procs can be suppressed however it doesn't solve the following problem:
You can't repeat the stop command of a failed service. The repeated stop command
is simply not propagated to the service in a failed state. You would have to start
and then try to stop the service again. Unfortunately, this can't be done while
the daemon is still running (and we need the daemon to stay active until all
clustered VGs are deactivated properly).
In a separated setup we need only to restart the failed activation service and
that's fine.
No need to fork lvmetad when running under systemd.
Also, the "lvmetad -R" support has been removed in lvm2 v2.02.98
so remove the ExecReload line that called it on "systemctl reload".
The libblkid can detect DM_snapshot_cow signature and when creating
new LVs with blkid wiping used (allocation/use_blkid_wiping=1 lvm.conf
setting and --wipe y used at the same time - which it is by default).
Do not issue any prompts about this signature when new LV is created
and just wipe it right away without asking questions. Still keep the
log in verbose mode though.
gcc reports:

The DM_EVENT_GET_PARAMETERS requests the parameters under which
the running dmeventd is run and the it sends them to caller.
The parameters sent:
- the pid of the running dmeventd
- foreground state
- exec_method (currently either "direct" or "systemd")
The exact message sent back:
pid=<pid> daemon=<no/yes> exec_method=<direct/systemd>
Trying to restart dmeventd as a reload action is causing problems
under systemd environment. The systemd loses track of new dmeventd
this way. See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1060134
for more info.
We need to call dmeventd -R directly instead of "systemctl reload dm-event.service"
that was used before (the reload is aimed at configuration reload anyway,
not stateful restart of the daemon - we did this before just because
there's no ExecRestart in systemd and there's only ExecStart and
ExecStop with which we'd lose the state).
Also, use ExecStart="dmeventd -f" to run dmeventd in foreground
(and let's rely on systemd to daemonize it) and change the
service type from "forking" to "simple".
This patch allows users to create cache LVs with 'lvcreate'. An origin
or a cache pool LV must be created first. Then, while supplying the
origin or cache pool to the lvcreate command, the cache can be created.
Ex1:
Here the cache pool is created first, followed by the origin which will
be cached.
~> lvcreate --type cache_pool -L 500M -n cachepool vg /dev/small_n_fast
~> lvcreate --type cache -L 1G -n lv vg/cachepool /dev/large_n_slow
Ex2:
Here the origin is created first, followed by the cache pool - allowing
a cache LV to be created covering the origin.
~> lvcreate -L 1G -n lv vg /dev/large_n_slow
~> lvcreate --type cache -L 500M -n cachepool vg/lv /dev/small_n_fast
The code determines which type of LV was supplied (cache pool or origin)
by checking its type. It ensures the right argument was given by ensuring
that the origin is larger than the cache pool.
If the user wants to remove just the cache for an LV. They specify
the LV's associated cache pool when removing:
~> lvremove vg/cachepool
If the user wishes to remove the origin, but leave the cachepool to be
used for another LV, they specify the cache LV.
~> lvremove vg/lv
In order to remove it all, specify both LVs.
This patch also includes tests to create and remove cache pools and
cache LVs.
This patch allows the creation and removal of cache pools. Users are not
yet able to create cache LVs. They are only able to define the space used
for the cache and its characteristics (chunk_size and cache mode ATM) by
creating the cache pool.
A cache LV - from LVM's perpective - is a user accessible device that
links the cachepool LV and the origin LV. The following functions
were added to facilitate the creation and removal of this top-level
LV:
1) 'lv_cache_create' - takes a cachepool and an origin device and links
them into a new top-level LV of 'cache' segment type. No allocation
is necessary in this function, as the sub-LVs contain all of the
necessary allocated space. Only the top-level layer needs to be
created.
2) 'lv_cache_remove' - this function removes the top-level LV of a
cache LV - promoting the cachepool and origin sub-LVs to top-level
devices and leaving them exposed to the user. That is, the
cachepool is unlinked and free to be used with another origin to
form a new cache LV; and the origin is no longer cached.
(Currently, if the cache needs to be flushed, it is done in this
function and the function waits for it to complete before proceeding.
This will be taken out in a future patch in favor of polling.)
Cache pools require a data and metadata area (like thin pools). Unlike
thin pool, if 'cache_pool_metadata_require_separate_pvs' is not set to
'1', the metadata and data area will be allocated from the same device.
It is also done in a manner similar to RAID, where a single chunk of
space is allocated and then split to form the metadata and data device -
ensuring that they are together.
Building on the new DM function that parses DM cache status, we
introduce the following LVM level functions to aquire information
about cache devices:
- lv_cache_block_info: retrieves information on the cache's block/chunk usage
- lv_cache_policy_info: retrieves information on the cache's policy
I am reverting the commit below - removing the new 'dm_config_get_int'
function and simply calling 'dm_config_get_uint32' while casting the
'int *' pointer parameter.

Misc: New function for reading lvm config file fields
Introduce 'dm_config_get_int', which will be used by the upcoming
cachepool segment type.
Avoid use of external origin with size unaligned/incompatible with
thin pool chunk size, since the last chunk is not correctly provisioned
when it is overwritten.
Avoid starting conversion of the LV to the thin pool and thin volume
at the same time. Since this is mostly a user mistake, do not try
to just convert to one of those type, since we cannot assume if the
user wanted LV to become thin volume or thin pool.
Before the fix tool reported pretty strange internal error:
Internal error: Referenced LV lvol1_tdata not listed in VG mvg.
Fixed output:
lvconvert --thinpool lvol0 -T mvg/lvol0
Can't use same LV mvg/lvol0 for thin pool and thin volume.
Since we are currently incapable of providing zeroes for
reextended thin volume area, let's disable extension of
such already reduce thin volumes.
(in-release change)
This patch defines a structure for holding all of the device-mapper
cache target's status information. The associated function provides
an easy way for higher levels (LVM) to consume the information.
This patch finishes the device-mapper interface for the cache and
cachepool segment types (i.e. the cache target).
This patch adds the cache segment type - the second of two necessary
to create cache logical volumes. This segment type references the
cachepool (the small fast device) and the origin (the large slow device);
linking them to create the cache device. The cache device is the
hierarchical device-mapper device that the user ulitmately makes use
of.
The cache segment sources the information necessary to construct the
device-mapper cache target from the origin and cachepool segments to
which it links.
This patch adds the new cachepool segment type - the first of two
necessary to eventually create 'cache' logical volumes. In addition
to the new segment type, updates to makefiles, configure files, the
lv_segment struct, and some necessary libdevmapper flags.
The cachepool is the LV and corresponding segment type that will hold
all information pertinent to the cache itself - it's size, cachemode,
cache policy, core arguments (like migration_threshold), etc.
When lvm2 command forks, it calls reset_locking(),
which as an unwanted side effect unlinked lock file from filesystem.
Patch changes the behavior to just close locked file descriptor
in children - so the lock is being still properly hold in the parent.
Test LVM_LVMETAD_PIDFILE for pid for lvm command.
Fix WHATS_NEW envvar name usage
Fix init order in prepare_lvmetad to respect set vars
and avoid clash with system settings.
Update test to really test the 'is running' message.
Comparing for available feature missed the code path, when
maj is already bigger.
The bug would be only hit in the case, thin pool target would have
increased major version.
When thin volume is using external origin, current thin target
is not able to supply 'extended' size with empty pages.
lvm2 detects version and disables extension of LV past the external
origin size in this case.
Thin LV could be however still reduced and extended freely bellow
this size.
In preparation for other segment types that create and use "pools", we
s/create_thin_pool/create_pool/. This way it is not awkward when creating
a cachepool, for example, to use "create_thin_pool".
Functions that handle set-up, tear-down and creation of thin pool
volumes will be more generally applicable when more targets exist
that make use of device-mapper's persistent data format. One of
these targets is the dm-cache target. I've selected some functions
that will be useful for the cache segment type to be moved, since
they will no longer be thin pool specific but are more broadly
useful to any segment type that makes use of a 'pool' LV.
We need both offset and length when trying to wipe detected signatures.
The libblkid can fail so it's good to have an error message issued for
this state instead of being silent (libblkid does not issue any error
messages here). We just issued "stack" here before but that was not
quite useful if some error occurs...
Clear temporary DM_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES_FLAG properly. This did not
cause any bug or problem as the temporary variable is overwritten next
time it's used again, but we should still clean it properly!
Only flag thin LV for no scanning in udev if this LV is about
to be wiped. This happens only in case the thin LV's pool was not
created with zeroing of the new blocks enabled.
Since support for xfs_check is going to be obsoleted,
replace its usage with xfs_repair -n tool.
However this tool needs further intrumentation, since for really small
xfs devices (having just 1 allocation group) it needs to pass in
flag: "-o force_geometry". As we run the tool with '-n', it should
be safe to pass this flag always.
FIXME: figure way without always passing this flag.
Revert activated volumes if callback fails.
This is currently used only for thin_check failure support.
When thin_check detects failure in thin metadata device, it deactivate
volumes in reversed order that have been preloaded for thin pool activation.
After this change lvm command will not leave active pool subvolumes
in dm table.
The size of any metadata must be ignored when calculating the size of an
orphan PV.

Bug introduced by 603b45e0ed ("pvresize: Do
not use pv_read (get the PV from orphan VG).")
Do not drop device's flag to report readiness for systemd
processing if there's any event that follows the activatiion
event itself. Otherwise, systemd would lost track of this device
on any other event that follows the activating event (IOW, we
need to make SYSTEMD_READY variable change level-based, not edge-based).
This patch applies for MD and loop devices used as PVs.
(intra-release fix for commit 4c267c7286)
DO NOT USE LVMETAD IF YOU HAVE ANY LVM1-FORMATTED PVS.
You may continue to use it without lvmetad, but do please schedule
an upgrade to the lvm2 format (with 'vgconvert').
Sending the original LVM1 formatted metadata to lvmetad is breaking
assumptions made by the code, so I am marking the format as obsolete for
now and no longer sending it to lvmetad.
This means that if you are using lvmetad, lvm1 volumes will usually
appear invisible - though not always: it depends on exactly what
sequence of commands you run!
The current situation is not satisfactory.
We'll either fix lvmetad and reenable this or we'll fix the code to
issue appropriate warning messages when lvm1 PVs are encountered
to avoid accidents.
(The latest unfixed problem is that lvmetad assumes metadata sequence
numbers exist and always increase - but the lvm1 format does not define
or store any sequence number, confusing both the daemon and client
when default values get passed to-and-fro.)
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.

Make this code a bit more readable for Coverity as otherwise
it marks the "type" variable in the "_thin_pool_add_message" fn

lvm has a default umask value in the config file that defaults
to 0077 which lvm changes to during normal operation. This
causes a problem when the code is used as a library with
liblvm as it is changing the umask for the process. This
patch saves off the current umask, sets to what is specified
in the config file and restores it what it was on library
function call exit.
The user is now free to change the umask in their application at
anytime including between library calls.
This fix address BZ:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1012113
Tested by setting umask to 0777 and running the python unit
test and verifying that umask is still same value as expected
at the test completion and with a successful run.

When using filters for the pvscan --cache (the global_filter),
there's a difference between:
pvscan --cache -aay /dev/block/<major>:<minor>
and
pvscan --cache -aay <major>:<minor> (or --major <major> --minor <minor>)
In the first case, we need to be sure to have an exact matching line
in the filter for the device to be used, no aliases are considered
So for example even if we have accept rule for "/dev/sda" present,
this won't apply for "/dev/block/8:0" even though it's the same device!
This is because we're comparing the path used on command line directly
with the path written in the rule.
For the second one, any alias mentioned in the filter will apply
as we're comparing the major and minor pair, not looking at actual
device names - so any alias mentioned in the rules will suffice for
the filtering rule to apply.
For the global_filter to be properly used, we need to call the
second one in the lvm2-pvscan@.service - nobody is able to tell
what value of major:minor the kernel assignes next time, hence
this bug makes the use of global_filter quite unusable!
If there is no define for BLKPBSZGET - we have hard time how to
decrypt physical block size - we can't use here block_size,
since this is usually 4k while we need to use 512b.
FIXME: find some better way, until that enforce value 512.
Eventually we could also try to put in:
+#ifndef BLKPBSZGET
+# define BLKPBSZGET _IO(0x12,123)
+#endif
but this will still not work well on old kernels.
This reverts commit 24639be558.
Ok - seems we could be here a bit too active - and we
may remove devices which are unsuable for reasons we are not
aware of - thus taking down whole device could be way to big hammer.
So we still need some solution to recover from failing preload
and activation - but it needs more tunning.
When activation fails - we may leak large tree of partially loaded
devices in the dm table (i.e. failure in snapshot activation)
The best we can do here is try to deactivate whole device and
remove as much inactive table entries as we can.
When LV is scanned for its dependencies - scan also origin's snapshots,
and thin external origins.
So if any PV from snapshot or external origin device is missing - lvm2 will
avoid trying to activate such device.
The metadata/disk_areas setting was incorrectly registered as
"string" configuration option but it's a section where each area
is defined in its own subsection with "start_sector", "size" and "id"
setting.
This setting is not officialy supported, it's undocumented and it's
used solely for debugging.
Note: At this moment, it does not seem to be working with lvmetad!
When the device is inserted in dev_name_confirmed() stat() is
called twice as _insert() has it's own stat() call.
Extend _insert() parameter with struct stat* - which could be used
if it has been just obtained. When NULL is passed code is
doing its own stat() call as before.
Use internal type by default for thin provisioning.
If user is not interested in thin provisiong and doesn't
have thin provisining supporting tools installed,
configure will just print warning at the end of configure
process about limited support.
Boolean algebra changes for process_each_lv_in_vg().
1st.
Drop process_lv variable since it's not needed.
2nd.
process_lv was always initilized to 0 - so the condition was always true.
It the condition (!tags_supplied && !lvargs_supplied) evaluates as "true",
process_all is already set to 1, so skip vg tags evaluation.
3rd.
Move check for matching lv name in the front of lv tags check
since this check can't be skipped for lvargs_matched counter.
If this filter evaluates to true, skip lv tags evaluation.
Some devices, similarly to us, are not prepared after ADD event, but
after an extra CHANGE event when the device is properly set up.
This includes MD and loop devices. This patch fixes the
SYSTEMD_READY assignment that is crucial for proper functionality
of SYSTEMD_WANTS that we use to instantiate a lvm2-pvscan@.service
systemd service to activate the VG/LVs (see also bug
info).
All that extra handling of foreign devices should eventually be moved
to rules which process those devices primarily (MD and loop)! We should
only check a dedicated variable whether the device is usable or not.
Thin kernel target 1.9 still does not support online resize of
thin pool metadata properly - so disable it with expectation
for much higher version - and reenable after fixing kernel.
If we are stuck in user for too long without output,
grab kernel stack traces.
If we just produce too many lines of output, it's
not probably kernel related bug.
When the test is interrupted because debug.log has got to big,
and the test doesn't react on SIGINT - and needs to be only
killed with SIGKILL - it's still valuable to print at least
a portion of this debug.log (currently 4MB).
LVM_TEST_UNLIMITED could be set to avoid this limitation
(i.e. when busy-looping lvm command needs to be running
for gdb attachment)
Since activation takes only read-lock, there could be
multiple activation running in parallel.
So instead of checking before taking any real lock,
let the locking resolve the problem and just
detect if the reason for failure has been remote
exlusive activation.
It should be also faster, since each activation does
not need to do explicit lock query.
For merging thin snapshot we have to do couple extra
checks before we allow this operation.
We pretend thin-snapshot and thin-origin
are tied together and we have to properly
maintain locking.
The PIE and RELRO compiler/linker options can be used to produce a code
some techniques applied that makes the code more immune to some attacks:
- PIE (Position Independent Executable). It can make use of the ASLR
(Address Space Layout Randomization) provided by kernel to avoid
static locations for .text regions of executables (this is the 'pie'
compiler and linker option)
- RELRO (Relocation Read-Only). This prevents overwrite attacks of
the GOT (Global Offset Table) and PLT (Procedure Lookup Table)
used for relocations by making it read-only after all relocations
are resolved (these are the 'relro' and 'now' linker options) -
hence all symbols are resolved at the very start so there's no
need for those tables to be writeable later.
These compiler/linker options are now used by default for daemons
if the compiler/linker supports it.
In the case we have a dir with multiple objects and for
an individual object file we need special define -
allow to define it without adding extra rules.
To ensure dmeventd.o compilation will use EXTRA_FLAGS:
CFLAGS_dmeventd.o += $(EXTRA_FLAGS)
Then it's better to use:
dmeventd.o: CFLAGS += $(EXTRA_FLAGS)
At the end of lvconvert --snapshot with an active origin, the origin
gets reloaded.
Commit 57c0f72b1d ("lvconvert: use
_reload_lv on more places") accidentally replaced this with a snapshot
LV reload (which does nothing because only the origin is active).
Replacement of pv_read by find_pv_by_name in commit

No longer disable pidfile if -f used to run in foreground.

On error, only remove lvmetad socket file if created by the same

Do not use signature wiping for newly created LVs in tests - we're
reusing the devs in tests and such detection could just interfere
inappropriately. We'd need to modify all tests to anwer the prompt
whether any signature found should be removed or not or we'd need
to use "-y" option for all lvcreates in tests. It's better to disable
this feature then and let's do a separate test to test this signature
wiping functionality.
If we're calling pvcreate on a device that already has a PV label,
the blkid detects the existing PV and then we consider it for wiping
before we continue creating the new PV label and we issue a warning
with a prompt whether such old PV label should be removed. We don't
do this with native signature detection code. Let's make it consistent
with old behaviour.
But still keep this "PV" (identified as "LVM1_member" or "LVM2_member"
by blkid) detection when creating new LVs to avoid unexpected PV label
appeareance inside LV.
Collapse 2 ifs and replace log_error() with log_warn(), since\
the reported message is not causing tools error.
(and cannot be probably triggered anyway).
Optimize and cleanup recently introduced new function wipe_lv.
Use compound literals to get nicely initialized wipe_params struct.
Pass in lv as explicit argument for wipe_lv.
Use cmd from lv structure.
Initialize only non-null members so it's easy to see what
is the special arg.
Drop find_merging_snapshot() function. Use find_snapshot()
called after check for lv_is_merging_origin() which
is the commonly used code path - so we avoid duplicated
tests and potential risk of derefering NULL point
in unhandled error path.
This is actually the wipefs functionailty as a matter of fact
(wipefs uses the same libblkid calls).
libblkid is more rich when it comes to detecting various
signatures, including filesystems and users can better
decide what to erase and what should be kept.
The code is shared for both pvcreate (where wiping is necessary
to complete the pvcreate operation) and lvcreate where it's up
to the user to decide.
The verbose output contains a bit more information about the
signature like LABEL and UUID.
For example:
raw/~ # lvcreate -L16m vg
WARNING: linux_raid_member signature detected on /dev/vg/lvol0 at offset 4096. Wipe it? [y/n]
or more verbose one:
raw/~ # lvcreate -L16m vg -v
...
Found existing signature on /dev/vg/lvol0 at offset 4096: LABEL="raw.virt:0" UUID="da6af139-8403-5d06-b8c4-13f6f24b73b1" TYPE="linux_raid_member" USAGE="raid"
WARNING: linux_raid_member signature detected on /dev/vg/lvol0 at offset 4096. Wipe it? [y/n]
The verbose output is the same output as found in blkid.
Use common wipe_lv (former set_lv) fn to do zeroing as well as signature
wiping if needed. Provide new struct wipe_lv_params to define the
functionality.
Bind "lvcreate -W/--wipesignatures y" with proper wipe_lv call.
Also, add "yes" and "force" to lvcreate_params so it's possible
to apply them for the prompt: "WARNING: %s detected on %s. Wipe it? [y/n]".
The wipe_known_signatures fn now wraps the _wipe_signature fn that is called
for each known signature (currently md, swap and luks). This patch makes the
code more readable, not repeating the same sequence when used anywhere in the
code. We're going to reuse this code later...
If the refresh fails for any reason before autoactivation, let's not
make this a stopper for autoactivation itself - just log the error
message if it appears.
The reason is that in some rare situations, we can still hit the
problem with the suspend call to fail (as already described in
commit d8085edf65, also
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1027314). The refresh
itself is done for only one reason - to refresh any dm tables
for LVs for which the underlying PVs got unplugged/disconnected
and then plugged/connected back (see also
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=954061 for more info).
In this case, the major:minor pair is changed and we need to
update dm tables for LVs accordingly.
Now if refresh fails, the error is still logged, but autoactivation
continues.
If using lv/vgchange --sysinit -aay and lvmetad is enabled, we'd like to
avoid the direct activation and rely on autoactivation instead so
it fits system initialization scripts.
But if we're calling lv/vgchange --sysinit -aay too early when even
lvmetad service is not started yet, we just need to do the direct
activation instead without printing any error messages (while
trying to connect to lvmetad and not finding its socket).
This patch adds two helper functions - "lvmetad_socket_present" and
"lvmetad_used" which can be used to check for this condition properly
and avoid these lvmetad connections when the socket is not present
(and hence lvmetad is not yet running).
Whole struct will be set to 0, just
if the first member is array, gcc gives warning
we should initialized this element as array,
so pick any later simple type.
It will likely not fail to duplicate empty string, but
just keep the test of result of this function consistent.
Also on error path restore extent_size if in some
case someone would still use that variable.
Put common printf() case into a function and use
the string with text format as direct arg to make
the compile time validation of args easier and
code shorter.
Switch log_error() to log_warn(), since 'return 0'
doesn't cause any failure here.
Revert 4777eb6872 which put
target_present check into init_snapshot_merge(). However
this function is also used when parsing metadata. So we would
get this present test performed even when target is not really
needed. So move this target_present test directly into lvconvert.
Changed naming of methods from camel case to all lower case with
underscores per guidelines. Changed any methods that can be
static methods to static.

In a previous commit we added the ability for the library to do garbage
collection, to free all the memory used by the library handle buffer by closing
and re-opening the library handle. When we introduced this functionality we
also opened up the opportunity that the user of the python bindings to have
an object that references the old library handle. In this case if the user
tried to use the old object a segmentation fault could occur because the
memory had been previously freed.
This patch tries to mitigate this by storing a copy of the library handle that
was used when the object was created so that it can compare the current in
use pointer with what existed when the object was created. In the case where
they match the operation is permitted to continue, otherwise an exception is
throw, thus avoiding a segmentation fault.

3.12.0 kernel prevents raid test to be usable,
leaving unremovable devices in table.
This needs to be fixed ASAP, meanwhile disable test to make
test machines at least usable.
Add 'can_use_16T' to detect systems where we could
safely use 16T devices without causing system deadlocks.
16T size leads on those to endless loops in udevd
- it calls blkid which tries cached read from such device
- this ends in endless loop.

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.
Only reading a single PV works correctly only in very limited circumstances.
Moreover, we can't rely on the MDA available on the PV either, since it may be
out of date in some circumstances (until now, we believed that PVs that have an
empty MDA are always orphans, but this is not 100% reliable either).
Add internal error warning when string value is used

On other platforms it might have been giving
different numbers depends on aligment of strings.
Use proper &_minusone64 for sorting value when the reported
value is NUM.
Note: each numerical value needs to be thought about if it needs
default value &_zero64 or &_minusone64 since for cases, were
value of zero is valid, sorting should not be mixing entries
together.

There's a tiny race when suspending the device which is part
of the refresh because when suspend ioctl is performed, the
dm kernel driver executes (do_suspend and dm_suspend kernel fn):
step 1: a check whether the dev is already suspended and
if yes it returns success immediately as there's
nothing to do
step 2: it grabs the suspend lock
step 3: another check whether the dev is already suspended
and if found suspended, it exits with -EINVAL now
The race can occur in between step 1 and step 2. To prevent
premature autoactivation failure, we're using a simple retry
logic here before we fail completely. For a complete solution,
we need to fix the locking so there's no possibility for suspend
calls to interleave each other to cause this kind of race.
This is just a workaround. Remove it and replace it with proper
locking once we have that in!
Failures in the temporary mirror used when up-converting cause dmeventd
to issue 'lvconvert --repair' on the sub-LV, <lv_name>_mimagetmp_?. The
'lvconvert' command refuses to deal with this sub-LV outright - it
expects to be given the name of the top-level LV. So, just like we do
with mirrored logs, we strip-off the portion of the name that is not
the top-level LV and issue the command on the top-level LV instead.
Send error message on stdout, since after _display_info_long()

lvm2 command was not preserver 'local' property and incorrectly
converted local activations in to plain exclusive, so the local
activation could have activate volumes exclusively, but remotely.
If the volume_list filters out volume from activation,
it is still success result for this function.
Change the error message back to verbose level.
Detect if the volume is active localy before zeroing,
so we report error a bit later for cases, where volume
could not be activated because it doesn't pass through volume
list (but user still could create volume when he disables
zeroing)
Correct return code of activate_lv_excl().
Function is not supposed to return activation state of
activated volume, but return code of the operation.
Since i.e. when activation filter is allowing to activate
volume on current system, it is still success even though
no volume is activated.
MD can directly create partition devices without a need to run
an extra kpartx or partprobe call. We need to react to this event in
a different way as for bare MD devices - we need to handle the ADD event
for KERNEL=="md[0-9]*p[0-9]*" kernel name and trigger the LVM scanning
to update lvmetad to trigger autoactivation and so on...
Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1023250
This is an addition to original patch for lvcreate - commit 039bdad.
The same principle applies to lvconvert where there are several steps
during which we need to wipe the existing LV that's being converted
to thin pool, making sure there's no other interference from outside (udev).
Reset the DM_UDEV_OTHER_RULES_FLAG to original value right at the
time of dropping the DM_NOSCAN flag.
When DM_NOSCAN is set, the DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES_FLAG is also set
to avoid udev processing in "other/foreign" rules. If the noscan flag
is dropped, the DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES_FLAG should be reset to
its original value.
Also, lvmetad should respect the DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES_FLAG
because if the volume is set with this flag it:
- definitely is not a top-level device (so makes no sense for lvmetad scanning)
- is not supposed to be scanned further (for any stacking on top of
it, including LVM stacking itself and any autoactivation of stacked LVs)
Remove conditional that boils down to "if yes or no, then do". The
previous condition in the statement is sufficient and the extra
(always true) condition is unnecessary.
This fixes a bug in commit 19baf842 where verify_message
was rejecting the CLVMD_FLAG_REMOTE flag. It was missed
since the patch was ported from an lvm version where that
flag does not exist.
There is a problem with the way mirrors have been designed to handle
failures that is resulting in stuck LVM processes and hung I/O. When
mirrors encounter a write failure, they block I/O and notify userspace
to reconfigure the mirror to remove failed devices. This process is
open to a couple races:
1) Any LVM process other than the one that is meant to deal with the
mirror failure can attempt to read the mirror, fail, and block other
LVM commands (including the repair command) from proceeding due to
holding a lock on the volume group.
2) If there are multiple mirrors that suffer a failure in the same
volume group, a repair can block while attempting to read the LVM
label from one mirror while trying to repair the other.
Mitigation of these races has been attempted by disallowing label reading
of mirrors that are either suspended or are indicated as blocking by
the kernel. While this has closed the window of opportunity for hitting
the above problems considerably, it hasn't closed it completely. This is
because it is still possible to start an LVM command, read the status of
the mirror as healthy, and then perform the read for the label at the
moment after a the failure is discovered by the kernel.
I can see two solutions to this problem:
1) Allow users to configure whether mirrors can be candidates for LVM
labels (i.e. whether PVs can be created on mirror LVs). If the user
chooses to allow label scanning of mirror LVs, it will be at the expense
of a possible hang in I/O or LVM processes.
2) Instrument a way to allow asynchronous label reading - allowing
blocked label reads to be ignored while continuing to process the LVM
command. This would action would allow LVM commands to continue even
though they would have otherwise blocked trying to read a mirror. They
can then release their lock and allow a repair command to commence. In
the event of #2 above, the repair command already in progress can continue
and repair the failed mirror.
This patch brings solution #1. If solution #2 is developed later on, the
configuration option created in #1 can be negated - allowing mirrors to
be scanned for labels by default once again.
Add LV_TEMPORARY flag for LVs with limited existence during command
execution. Such LVs are temporary in way that they need to be activated,
some action done and then removed immediately. Such LVs are just like
any normal LV - the only difference is that they are removed during
LVM command execution. This is also the case for LVs representing
future pool metadata spare LVs which we need to initialize by using
the usual LV before they are declared as pool metadata spare.
We can optimize some other parts like udev to do a better job if
it knows that the LV is temporary and any processing on it is just
useless.
This flag is orthogonal to LV_NOSCAN flag introduced recently
as LV_NOSCAN flag is primarily used to mark an LV for the scanning
to be avoided before the zeroing of the device happens. The LV_TEMPORARY
flag makes a difference between a full-fledged LV visible in the system
and the LV just used as a temporary overlay for some action that needs to
be done on underlying PVs.
For example: lvcreate --thinpool POOL --zero n -L 1G vg
- first, the usual LV is created to do a clean up for pool metadata
spare. The LV is activated, zeroed, deactivated.
- between "activated" and "zeroed" stage, the LV_NOSCAN flag is used
to avoid any scanning in udev
- betwen "zeroed" and "deactivated" stage, we need to avoid the WATCH
udev rule, but since the LV is just a usual LV, we can't make a
difference. The LV_TEMPORARY internal LV flag helps here. If we
create the LV with this flag, the DM_UDEV_DISABLE_DISK_RULES
and DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES flag are set (just like as it is
with "invisible" and non-top-level LVs) - udev is directed to
skip WATCH rule use.
- if the LV_TEMPORARY flag was not used, there would normally be
a WATCH event generated once the LV is closed after "zeroed"
stage. This will make problems with immediated deactivation that
follows.
The blkdeactivate script iterates over the list of devices if they're
given as an argument and it tries to umount/deactivate them one by one.
This iteration failed to proceed if any of the umount/deactivation
was unsuccessful - there was a missing "shift" call to move to the
next argument (device) for processing. As a result of this, the same
device was tried again and again, causing an endless loop, never
proceeding to the next device given.
When using ENV{SYSTEMD_WANTS}=lvm2-pvscan@... to instantiate a service
for lvmetad scan when the new PV appears in the system, the service
is started and executed. However, to track device removal, we need
to bind it (the "BindsTo" systemd directive) to a certain .device
systemd unit.
In default systemd setup, the device is tracked by it's name and
sysfs path (there's normally a sysfs path .device systemd unit for
a device and then the device name .device unit as an alias for it).
Neither of these two is useful for lvmetad update as we need to bind
it to device's <major>:<minor> pair.
The /dev/block/<major>:<minor> is the essential symlink under /dev
that exists for each block device (created by default udev rules
provided by udev directly). So let's use this as an alias for
the device's .device unit as well by means of "ENV{SYSTEMD_ALIAS}"
declaration within udev rules which systemd understands (this will
create a new alias "dev-block-<major>:<minor>.device".
Then we can easily bind the "dev-block-<major>:<minor>" device
systemd unit with instantiated lvm2-pvscan@<major>:<minor>.service.
So once the device is removed from the systemd, the
lvm-pvscan@<major>:<minor>.service executes it's ExecStop action
(which in turn notifies lvmetad about the device being gone).
This completes the udev-systemd-lvmetad interaction then.
Before, pvscan recognized either:
pvscan --cache --major <major> --minor <minor>
or
pvscan --cache <DevicePath>
When the device is gone and we need to notify lvmetad about device
removal, only --major/--minor works as we can't translate DevicePath
into major/minor pair anymore. The device does not exist in the system
and we don't keep DevicePath index in lvmetad cache to make the
translation internally into original major/minor pair. It would be
useless to keep this index just for this one exact case.
There's nothing bad about using "--major <major> --minor <minor>",
but it makes our life a bit harder when trying to make an
interconnection with systemd units, mainly with instantiated services
where only one and only one arg can be passed (which is encoded in the
service name).
This patch tries to make this easier by adding support for recognizing
the "<major>:<minor>" as a shortcut for the longer form
"--major <major> --minor <minor>". The rule here is simple: if the argument
starts with "/", it's a DevicePath, otherwise it's a <major>:<minor> pair.
There is no point eating stderr for these commands. In fact the
redirect causes confusion and hurts dubugging.
Also reword an error message if the pvs command fails so as not be
certain that a device is not a PV. Coupled with removing the stderr
redirect this will improve the user experience in the face of errors.
The new lvm2-pvscan@.service is responsible for on-demand execution
of "pvscan --cache --activate ay" which causes lvmetad to be
updated and LVM activation done if the VG is complete.
Also, use udev-systemd mechanism to instantiate the job as the
lvm2-pvscan@$devnode.service on each newly appeared PV in the system.
This prevents the background job to be killed (that would happen
if it was directly forked from udev rule - this behaviour is seen
in recent versions of udev with the help of systemd that can track
detached processes - the detached process would still be in the same
cgroup).
To enable this official udev-systemd protocol for instantiating
background jobs, use new --enable-udev-systemd-background-jobs
configure switch (it's disabled by default). This option is highly
recommended wherever systemd is used!
Reverts previously added udevsettle call.
Seems to be unrelated, while udev on old system may take over 10
minutes, to finish it's very slow and CPU intensive work, it doesn't
interact directly with created device, only access /dev/mapper/control
node via dmsetup, so the device is ocasionaly blocked by something else.
Patch helps a bit when lvm2 is build with disabled udev_sync support,
but udevd runs in the system - so it randomly influences unrelated tests
even - so before every test wait at least till udevd is settled.
On modern systems udev manages nodes in /dev/mapper directory.
It creates, deletes and renames the nodes according to the
state of the kernel driver.
When the dmsetup is compiled without udev support (--enable-udev_sync)
and runs on the system with running udevd it tries to manage nodes in
/dev/mapper too, so it can race with udev.
dmsetup checks if the node was created/deleted/renamed with the stat
syscall, and skips the operation if it was. However, if udev
creates/deletes/renames the node after the stat syscall and before the
mknod/unlink/rename syscall, dmsetup reports an error.
Since in the system everything happened as expected, skip reporting
error for such case.
These races can be easily provoked by inserting sleep at appropriate
places.

Initial testing of thin pool's metadata with thin repairing tools.
Try to use tools from configuration settings, but allow them
to be overriden by settings of these variables:
LVM_TEST_THIN_CHECK_CMD,
LVM_TEST_THIN_DUMP_CMD,
LVM_TEST_THIN_REPAIR_CMD
FIXME: test reveals some more important bugs:
pvremove -ff also needs --yes
vgremove -ff doesn not remove metadata when there are no real LVs.
vgreduce is not able to reduce VG with pool without pool's PVs
Prohibit conversion of pool device with active thin volumes.
Properly restore active states only for active thin pool volume.
Use new LV_NOSCAN when converting volume into thin pool's metadata.
This patch reinstates the lv_info call to check for open count of
the LV we're removing/deactivating - this was changed with commit 125712b
some time ago and we relied on the ioctl retry logic deeper in the libdm
while calling the exact 'remove' ioctl.
However, there are still some situations in which it's still required to
check for open count before we do any 'remove' actions - this mainly
applies to LVs which consist of several sub LVs, like it is for
virtual snapshot devices.
The commit 1146691 fixed the issue with ordering of actions during
virtual snapshot removal while the snapshot is still open. But
the check for the open status of the snapshot is still prone to
marking the snapshot as in use with an immediate exit even though
this could be a temporary asynchronous open only, most notably
because of udev and its WATCH udev rule with accompanying scans
for the event which is asynchronous. The situation where this crops
up most often is when we're closing the LV that was open for read-write
and then calling lvremove immediately.
This patch reinstates the original lv_info call for the open status
of the LV in the lv_check_not_in_use fn that gets called before
we do any LV removal/deactivation. In addition to original logic,
this patch adds its own retry loop with a delay (25x0.2 seconds)
besides the existing ioctl retry loop.
Component LVs of a thinpool can be RAID LVs. Users who attempt a
scrubbing operation directly on a thinpool will be prompted to
specify the sub-LV they wish the operation to be performed on. If
neither of the sub-LVs are RAID, then a message telling them that
the operation can only be performed on a RAID LV will be given.
Split image should have an out-of-sync attr ('I') - always. Even if
the RAID LV has not been written to since the LV was split off, it is
still not part of the group that makes up the RAID and is therefore
"out-of-sync".
Reshape code a bit to make sockepair 'swappable' with plain old pipe
call.
Display status for FAILED error.
Increase buffer to hold always at least 1 page size.
Print error results with capitals.
Since the virtual snapshot has no reason to stay alive once we
detach related snapshot - deactivate whole thing in front of
snapshot removal - otherwice the code would get tricky for
support in cluster.
The correct full solution would require to have transactions
for libdm operations.
Also enable to the check for snapshot being opened prior
the origin deactivation, otherwise we could easily end
with the origin being deactivate, but snapshot still kept
active, desynchronizing locking state in cluster.
Addendum to commit ce7489e which introduced a new *internal* LV_NOSCAN
flag and so it needs to be marked that way properly otherwise it
ends up unrecognized and improperly handled during metadata export.
Recognize DM_SUBSYSTEM_UDEV_FLAG0 which for LVM is the "LVM_NOSCAN"
flag that causes the scanning to be skipped (mainly blkid) and
also directs all the foreign rules to be skipped as well.
Important thing here is that the "watch" udev rules is still set
as well as the /dev/disk/by-id content created (which does not
require any scanning to be done). Also, the flag is dropped on
any subsequent event and scanning done...
A common scenario is during new LV creation when we need to wipe the
newly created LV and avoid any udev scanning before this stage otherwise
it could cause the device (the LV) to be claimed by some other subsystem
for which there were stale metadata within LV data.
This patch adds possibility to mark the LV we're just about to wipe with
a flag that gets passed to udev via DM_COOKIE as a subsystem specific
flag - DM_SUBSYSTEM_UDEV_FLAG0 (in this case the subsystem is "LVM")
so LVM udev rules will take care of handling that.
Patch 562ad293fd introduced code regression
when LV was converted to a thin LV with external origin and at the same time,
conversion of LV to a thin pool has been requested.
(RHBZ: #997704)
data_lv needs to be assigned after test for external conversion find pool.
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.
Just like we have symbolic names assigned to general DM udev flags
(DM_UDEV_* flags), we have the same for any subsystem flags now
(DM_SUBSYSTEM_UDEV_FLAG*), making it easier to use.
Each subsystem rule that needs to import any of DM_SUBSYSTEM_UDEV_FLAG*
flags is responsible for doing so. This simply moves control of these
flags from general 10-dm.rules to any subsystem rule using these flags
as each subsystem knows better how to handle these flags on its own.
Some code has been added recently which makes it impossible to compile
when "configure --disable-devmapper" is used. This patch just shuffles
the code around so it's under proper #ifdef DEVMAPPER_SUPPORT.
lib/metadata/lv_manip.c:_sufficient_pes_free() was calculating the
required space for RAID allocations incorrectly due to double
accounting. This resulted in failure to allocate when available
space was tight.
When RAID data and metadata areas are allocated together, the total
amount is stored in ah->new_extents and ah->alloc_and_split_meta is
set. '_sufficient_pes_free' was adding the necessary metadata extents
to ah->new_extents without ever checking ah->alloc_and_split_meta.
This often led to double accounting of the metadata extents. This
patch checks 'ah->alloc_and_split_meta' to perform proper calculations
for RAID.
This error is only present in the function that checks for the needed
space, not in the functions that do the actual allocation.
1) When converting from an x-way mirror/raid1 to a y-way mirror/raid1,
the default behaviour should be to stay the same segment type.
2) When converting from linear to mirror or raid1, the default behaviour
should honor the mirror_segtype_default.
3) When converting and the '--type' argument is specified, the '--type'
argument should be honored.
catch such conditions, but errors in the tests caused the issue to go
unnoticed. The code has been fixed to perform #2 properly, the tests
have been corrected to properly test for #2, and a few other tests
were changed to explicitly specify the '--type mirror' when necessary.
If "default" thin pool chunk size calculation method is selected,
use minimum_io_size, otherwise optimal_io_size for "performance"
device hint exposed in sysfs. If there appear to be PVs with
different hints presented, use their least common multiple.
If the hint is less than the default value defined for the
calculation method, use the default value instead.
Add allocation/thin_pool_chunk_size_calculation lvm.conf
option to select a method for calculating thin pool chunk
sizes and define two possible values - "default" and "performance".
A previous commit (b6bfddcd0a) which
was designed to prevent segfaults during lvextend when trying to
extend striped logical volumes forgot to include calculations for
RAID4/5/6 parity devices. This was causing the 'contiguous' and
'cling_by_tags' allocation policies to fail for RAID 4/5/6.
The solution is to remember that while we can compare
ah->area_count == prev_lvseg->area_count
for non-RAID, we should compare
(ah->area_count + ah->parity_count) == prev_lvseg->area_count
for a general solution.
lvmetad is not yet supported in clustered environment so
disable it automatically if using lvmconf --enable-cluster
and reset it to default value if using lvmconf --disable-cluster.
Also, add a few comments in lvm.conf about locking_type vs. use_lvmetad
if setting it for clustered environment.
The corosync cluster interface for clvmd did not correctly
deal with node up/down events so that when a node was removed
from the cluster clvmd would prevent remote operations
from happening, as it thought the node was up but not
running clvmd.
This patch fixes that code by simplifying the case to node
being up or down - which was the original intention
and is supported by pacemaker and CPG in the higher layers.

trim needs to trim both sides now.
trim also removes debug.log since it's only called when lvm command
has finished properly (so if something fails afterward, there
is no missleading debug trace in the log)
'die' evaluates given string - so \n could be used for
multiline error report
Also remove debug.log since the command finished properly when we
call 'die'
Note: we should not call 'die' after lvm command failure.
lvchange-raid.sh checks to ensure that the 'p'artial flag takes
precedence over the 'w'ritemostly flag by disabling and reenabling
a device in the array. Most of the time this works fine, but
sometimes the kernel can notice the device failure before it is
reenabled. In that case, the attr flag will not return to 'w', but
to 'r'efresh. This is because 'r'efresh also takes precedence over
the 'w'ritemostly flag. So, we also do a quick check for 'r' and
not just 'w'.
The DM_ACTIVATION and DM_UDEV_PRIMARY_SOURCE_FLAG needs to be kept the
way it was for backward compatibility (e.g. the old rules are still
in initramfs). This way the check in whether the device should be
scanned in 69-dm-lvmetad.rules is even easier.
Add a very simple hack for embeding /var/log/messages into
the tests output - it's not ideal since it sometimes breaks lines,
but still gives valuable info.
Add more 'realistic' simulation of dlm locking.
Previous version was not capable to maintain multiple locks.
Current version doesn't handle multiqueues for locks,
so the ordering is different.
Older gcc is giving misleading warning:

this function
But warning free compilation is better.
The same corner cases that exist for snapshots on mirrors exist for
any logical volume layered on top of mirror. (One example is when
a mirror image fails and a non-repair LVM command is the first to
detect it via label reading. In this case, the LVM command will hang
and prevent the necessary LVM repair command from running.) When
a better alternative exists, it makes no sense to allow a new target
to stack on mirrors as a new feature. Since, RAID is now capable of
running EX in a cluster and thin is not active-active aware, it makes
sense to pair these two rather than mirror+thinpool.
As further background, here are some additional comments that I made
when addressing a bug related to mirror+thinpool:
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=919604#c9)
I am going to disallow thin* on top of mirror logical volumes.
Users will have to use the "raid1" segment type if they want this.
This bug has come down to a choice between:
1) Disallowing thin-LVs from being used as PVs.
2) Disallowing thinpools on top of mirrors.
The problem is that the code in dev_manager.c:device_is_usable() is unable
to tell whether there is a mirror device lower in the stack from the device
being checked. Pretty much anything layered on top of a mirror will suffer
from this problem. (Snapshots are a good example of this; and option #1
above has been chosen to deal with them. This can also be seen in
dev_manager.c:device_is_usable().) When a mirror failure occurs, the
kernel blocks all I/O to it. If there is an LVM command that comes along
to do the repair (or a different operation that requires label reading), it
would normally avoid the mirror when it sees that it is blocked. However,
if there is a snapshot or a thin-LV that is on a mirror, the above code
will not detect the mirror underneath and will issue label reading I/O.
This causes the command to hang.
Choosing #1 would mean that thin-LVs could never be used as PVs - even if
they are stacked on something other than mirrors.
Choosing #2 means that thinpools can never be placed on mirrors. This is
probably better than we think, since it is preferred that people use the
"raid1" segment type in the first place. However, RAID* cannot currently
be used in a cluster volume group - even in EX-only mode. Thus, a complete
solution for option #2 must include the ability to activate RAID logical
volumes (and perform RAID operations) in a cluster volume group. I've
already begun working on this.
New versions of udev changed the default event timeout to 30s
from original 3min. This causes problems with LVM processes that
starve because of the IO load caused by some LVM actions (e.g.
mirror/raid synchronization).
Reinstate the 3min udev timeout for now until we optimize this
in a way that even the 30s timeout is sufficient.
Creation, deletion, [de]activation, repair, conversion, scrubbing
and changing operations are all now available for RAID LVs in a
cluster - provided that they are activated exclusively.
The code has been changed to ensure that no LV or sub-LV activation
is attempted cluster-wide. This includes the often overlooked
operations of activating metadata areas for the brief time it takes
to clear them. Additionally, some 'resume_lv' operations were
replaced with 'activate_lv_excl_local' when sub-LVs were promoted
to top-level LVs for removal, clearing or extraction. This was
necessary because it forces the appropriate renaming actions the
occur via resume in the single-machine case, but won't happen in
a cluster due to the necessity of acquiring a lock first.
The *raid* tests have been updated to allow testing in a cluster.
For the most part, this meant creating devices with '-aey' if they
were to be converted to RAID. (RAID requires the converting LV to
be EX because it is a condition of activation for the RAID LV in
a cluster.)
This patch fixes the way the special devices are handled
(special in this context means that they're not usable
after the usual ADD event like other generic devices):
- DM and MD devices are pvscanned only when they are just set up.
This is the first CHANGE event that makes the device usable
(the DM_UDEV_PRIMARY_SOURCE_FLAG is set for DM and the
md/array_state sysfs attribute is present for MD).
Whether the device is activated is remembered via
DM_ACTIVATED (for DM) and LVM_MD_PV_ACTIVATED (for MD)
udev environment variable. This is then used to decide
whether we should fire the pvscan on ADD event to
support coldplugging. For any (artificial) ADD event
generated during coldplug, the device must be already
set up properly to fire the pvscan on it.
- Similar for loop devices. For loop devices, only CHANGE
events are relevant (so there's a CHANGE after the loop
device is set up as well as detached). Whether the loop
has just been activated is detected via loop/backing_file
sysfs attribute presence. The activation state is remembered
via LVM_LOOP_PV_ACTIVATED udev environment variable.
- Do not pvscan multipath device components (underlying paths).
- Do not pvscan RAID device components.
- Also, set LVM_SCANNED="1" udev environment variable for
debug purposes (it's visible in the lvmdump -u that takes
the current udev database). This variable is set once
the pvscan is triggered.
The table below summarises when the pvscan is triggered
(marked with X, X* means fire only if the special dev is properly set up):
| real ADD | real CHANGE | artificial ADD | artificial CHANGE | remove
=============================================================================
DM | | X | X* | | X
MD | | X | X* | |
loop | | X | X* | |
other | X | | X | | X
When images and their associated metadata are removed from a RAID1 LV,
the remaining sub-LVs are "shifted" down to fill the gaps. For
example, if there is a 3-way mirror:
[0][1][2]
and we remove device#0, the devices will be shifted down
[1][2]
and renamed.
[0][1]
This can create a problem for resume_lv (specifically,
dm_tree_activate_children) during the renaming process though. This
is because it will attempt to rename the higher indexed sub-LVs first
and find that it cannot because there are currently other sub-LVs with
that name. The solution is to check for a conflicting name before
attempting to rename. If a conflict is found and that conflicting
sub-LV is also in the process of renaming, we can defer the current
rename until the conflicting sub-LV has renamed and cleared the
conflict.
Now that resume_lv can handle these types of rename conflicts, we can
remove the workaround in RAID that was attempting to resume a RAID1
LV from the bottom-up in order to force a proper rename in assending
order before attempting a resume on the top-level LV. This "hack"
only worked for single machine use-cases of LVM. Clearing this up
paves the way for exclusive activation of RAID LVs in a cluster.
Properly skip unmonitoring of thin pool volume in deactivation code
path. Code makes sure if there is just any thin pool user
it stays monitored with all its resources.
When the pool is created from non-linear target the more complex rules
have to be used and stacking needs to properly decode args for _tdata
LV. Also proper allocation policies are being used according to those
set in lvm2 metadata for data and metadata LVs.
Also properly check for active pool and extra code to active it
temporarily.
With this fix it's now possible to use:
lvcreate -L20 -m2 -n pool vg --alloc anywhere
lvcreate -L10 -m2 -n poolm vg --alloc anywhere
lvconvert --thinpool vg/pool --poolmetadata vg/poolm
lvresize -L+10 vg/pool
Udev daemon has recently introduced a limit on the number of udev
processes (there was no limit before). This causes a problem
when calling pvscan --cache -aay in lvmetad udev rules which
is supposed to activate the volumes. This activation is itself
synced with udev and so it waits for the activation to complete
before the pvscan finishes. The event processing can't continue
until this pvscan call is finished.
But if we're at the limit with the udev process count, we can't
instatiate any more udev processes, all such events are queued
and so we can't process the lvm activation event for which the
pvscan is waiting.
Then we're in a deadlock since the udev process with the
pvscan --cache -aay call waits for the lvm activation udev
processing to complete, but that will never happen as there's
this limit hit with the number of udev processes.
The process with pvscan --cache -aay actually times out eventually
(3min or 30sec, depends on the version of udev).
This patch makes it possible to run the pvscan --cache -aay
in the background so the udev processing can continue and hence
we can avoid the deadlock mentioned above.
The commit 82d83a01ce
"autoactivation: refresh existing VG before autoactivation"
causes problems (dangling udev_sync cookies, slow processing
of the pvscan --cache --major --minor call from udev rules)
when the autoactivation handler is run in parallel on
several PVs that belong to the same VG. Revert this patch
until the exact source of the problem is found and then
properly fixed and handled.

Do not allow passing '' names to kernel.
This test was missing also in kernel, so it has allowed
to create device with '' name. This then confused dmsetup tool,
since such name is unexpected and unsupported. To remove
such name from table, user has to use -j -m to specify which device
should be removed.
This patch fixes the posibility to run this operation:
dmsetup rename existingdev ''
after this operation commands like 'dmsetup table' are failing.
This patch prohibits to use such name.
After enable_dev, the following commands were not
consistently seeing the pv on it.

the tools cope with suddenly appearing/disappering

The original "check" target stays confined to a local device directory, while
check_full does 6 flavours, 3 with a local device directory and 3 with the
global /dev directory (the latter are prefixed with "s" for
"system"). I.e.: normal, cluster, lvmetad, snormal, scluster, slvmetad.
Patch includes RAID1,4,5,6,10 tests for:
- setting writemostly/writebehind
* syncaction changes (i.e. scrubbing operations)
- refresh (i.e. reviving devices after transient failures)
- setting recovery rate (sync I/O throttling)
while the RAID LVs are under a thin-pool (both data and metadata)
* not fully tested because I haven't found a way to force bad
blocks to be noticed in the testsuite yet. Works just fine
when dealing with "real" devices.
Test moving linear, mirror, snapshot, RAID1,5,10, thinpool, thin
and thin on RAID. Perform the moves along with a dummy LV and
also without the dummy LV by specifying a logical volume name as
an argument to pvmove.
The patch allows the user to also pvmove snapshots and origin logical
volumes. This means pvmove should be able to move all segment types.
I have, however, disallowed moving converting or merging logical volumes.
Top-level LVs (like RAID, mirror or thin) are ignored when determining which
portions of an LV to pvmove. If the user specified the name of an LV to
move and it was one of the above types, it would be skipped. The code would
never move on to check whether its sub-LVs needed moving because their names
did not match what the user specified.
The solution is to check whether a sub-LVs is part of the LV whose name was
specified by the user - not just if there was a name match.
In stacked environment where we have a PV layered on top of a
snapshot LV and then removing the LV, lvmetad still keeps information
about the PV:

This is because of the reactivation that is done just before
snapshot removal as part of the process (vg/lvol1 from the example above).
This causes a CHANGE event to be generated, but any scan done
on the LV does not see the original data anymore (in this case
the stacked PV label on top) and consequently the ID_FS_TYPE="LVM2_member"
(provided by blkid scan) is not stored in udev db anymore for the LV.
Consequently, the pvscan --cache is not run anymore as the dev is not
identified as LVM PV by the "LVM2_member" id - lvmetad loses this info
and still keeps records about the PV.
We can run into a very similar problem with erasing the PV label directly:
[0] raw/~ $ lvcreate -L32m vg
Logical volume "lvol0" created
[0] raw/~ $ pvcreate /dev/vg/lvol0
Physical volume "/dev/vg/lvol0" successfully created

No PV label found on /dev/vg/lvol0.
This patch adds detection of this change from ID_FS_LABEL="LVM2_member"
to ID_FS_LABEL="<whatever_else>" and hence informing the lvmetad
about PV being gone.
These test the toollib functions that select
vgs/lvs to process based on command line args:
empty, vg name(s), lv names(s), vg tag(s),
lv tags(s), and combinations of all.
This patch allows pvmove to operate on RAID, mirror and thin LVs.
The key component is the ability to avoid moving a RAID or mirror
sub-LV onto a PV that already has another RAID sub-LV on it.
(e.g. Avoid placing both images of a RAID1 LV on the same PV.)
Top-level LVs are processed to determine which PVs to avoid for
the sake of redundancy, while bottom-level LVs are processed
to determine which segments/extents to move.
This approach does have some drawbacks. By eliminating whole PVs
from the allocation list, we might miss the opportunity to perform
pvmove in some senarios. For example, if we have 3 devices and
a linear uses half of the first, a RAID1 uses half of the first and
half of the second, and a linear uses half of the third (FIGURE 1);
we should be able to pvmove the first device (FIGURE 2).
FIGURE 1:
[ linear ] [ -RAID- ] [ linear ]
[ -RAID- ] [ ] [ ]
FIGURE 2:
[ moved ] [ -RAID- ] [ linear ]
[ moved ] [ linear ] [ -RAID- ]
However, the approach we are using would eliminate the second
device from consideration and would leave us with too little space
for allocation. In these situations, the user does have the ability
to specify LVs and move them one at a time.
The pool metadata LV must be accounted for when determining what PVs
are in a thin-pool. The pool LV must also be accounted for when
checking thin volumes.
This is a prerequisite for pvmove working with thin types.
The function 'get_pv_list_for_lv' will assemble all the PVs that are
used by the specified LV. It uses 'for_each_sub_lv' to traverse all
of the sub-lvs which may compose it.
Do not print success status for lvm2-activation-generator:
"LVM: Activation generator successfully completed."
"LVM: Logical Volume autoactivation enabled." (if use_lvmetad=1)
Though this information is quite useful during boot, it may
be confusing for users if it happens anytime later and it
actually happens if systemd reloads. This is usually on package
update to update the systemd state and load any new units that are
newly installed in the system. The systemd reload is global and
so any existing generators are rerun at that moment too.
This is a regression caused by commit 3bd9048854.
The error message added with that commit "mpath major %d is not dm major %d" is
superfluous.
When scanning for mpath components, we're looking for a parent device.
But this parent device is not necessarily an mpath device (so the dm device)
if it exists - it can be any other device layered on top (e.g. an MD RAID device).
The bug addressed by this patch manifested itself during testing
by showing a mirror that never became 'in-sync' after creation.
The bug is isolated to distributions that do not have support
for openAIS checkpointing (i.e. > RHEL6, > F16).
When a node joins a group that is managing a mirror log, the other
machines in the group send it a checkpoint representing the current
state of the bitmap. More than one machine can send a checkpoint,
but only the initial one should be imported. Once the bitmap state
has been imported from the initial checkpoint, operations (such
as resync, mark, and clear operations) can begin. When subsequent
checkpoints are allowed to be imported, it has the effect of erasing
all the log operations between the initial checkpoint and the ones
that follow.
When cmirrord was updated to handle the absence of openAIS
checkpointing (commit 62e38da133),
the new import_checkpoint() function failed to honor the 'no_read'
parameter. This parameter was designed to avoid reading all but
the initial checkpoint. Honoring this parameter has solved the
issue of corrupting bitmap data with secondary checkpoints.
Recent kernels allow messages to respond with a string.
Add dm_task_get_message_response() to libdevmapper to perform some
basic sanity checks and return this.
Have 'dmsetup message' display any response.
DM statistics will make extensive use of this.

If loop device is first configured on systems where /dev/loop-control
is used to dynamically create the loop device itself, there's an
ADD+CHANGE even generated. But next time the existing /dev/loop[0-9]*
is reused, there's only a CHANGE event since the device representing
it is already present in kernel (so no ADD event in this case).
We can't ignore this CHANGE event for loop devices! This is a regression
caused by 756bcabbfe. We already had
a similar problem with MD devices which was fixed by
2ac217d408 (but that one was
only an intra-release fix).

When the system has no PVs we don't have access to

When autoactivating a VG, there could be an existing VG with exactly
the same PV UUIDs. The PVs could be reappeared after previous
loss/disconnect (for example disconnecting and reconnecting iscsi).
Since there's no "autodeactivation" yet, the mappings for the LVs
from the VG were left in the system even if the device was disconnected.
These mappings also hold the major:minor of the underlying device.
So if the device reappears, it is assigned a different major:minor
pair (...and kernel name). We need to cope with this during
autoactivation so any existing mappings are corrected for any changes.
The VG refresh does that (the vgchange --refresh functionality) -
call this before VG autoactivation.
(If the VG does not exist yet, the VG refresh is NOP)
Split out the partitioned device filter that needs to open the device
and move the multipath filter in front of it.
When a device is multipathed, sending I/O to the underlying paths may
cause problems, the most obvious being I/O errors visible to lvm if a
path is down.
Revert the incorrect <backtrace> messages added when a device doesn't
pass a filter.
Log each filter initialisation to show sequence.
Avoid duplicate 'Using $device' debug messages.
Recent version of util-linux/umount (v2.23+) provides
umount --all-targets that can unmount all the mount targets of
the same device (the bind mounts). Use this if available when
calling the umount blkdeactivate.
Otherwise, for older versions of util-linux, use findmnt
(that is also a part of the util-linux) to iterate over all
mount targets of the same device - this is the manual way.
The blkdeactivate now suppresses error messages from external
tools that are called. Instead, only a summary message "done"
or "skipped" is issued by blkdeactivate as any error in calling
the external tool (e.g. unmounting or deactivating a device) causes
the device to be skipped and the blkdeactivate continues with the
next device in the tree.
Add new -e/--errors switch to display any error messages from
external tools.
Also, suppress any output given by the external tools and add
new -v/--verbose switch to display it including the verbose
output of the tools called (this will enable error reporting
as well).
Also add blkdeactivate -vv for even more debug (the script's debug).

According to bug 995193, if a volume group
1) contains a mirror
2) is clustered
3) 'locking_type' = 0 is used
then it is not possible to remove the 'c'luster flag from the VG. This
is due to the way _lv_is_active behaves.
We shouldn't allow the cluster flag to be flipped unless the mirrors in
the cluster are not active. This is because different kernel modules
are used depending on whether a mirror is cluster or not. When we
attempt to see if the mirror is active, we first check locally. If it
is not, then we attempt to check for remotely active instances if the VG
is clustered. Since the no_lock locking type is LCK_CLUSTERED, but does
not implement 'query_resource', remote_lock_held will always return an
error in this case. An error from remove_lock_held is treated as though
the lock _is_ held (i.e. the LV is active remotely). This blocks the
cluster flag from changing.
The solution is to implement 'query_resource' for the no_lock type. It
will report a message and return 1. This will allow _lv_is_active to
function properly. The LV would be considered not active remotely and
the VG can change its flag.
Commit ID 8615234c0f failed to include
the actual code changes that were made to fix the bug. Instead, all
tests went in to validate the bug fix. This patch adds the missing
code changes.
1) Since the min|maxrecoveryrate args are size_kb_ARGs and they
are recorded (and sent to the kernel) in terms of kB/sec/disk,
we must back out the factor multiple done by size_kb_arg. This
is already performed by 'lvcreate' for these arguments.
2) Allow all RAID types, not just RAID1, to change these values.
3) Add min|maxrecoveryrate_ARG to the list of 'update_partial_unsafe'
commands so that lvchange will not complain about needing at
least one of a certain set of arguments and failing.
4) Add tests that check that these values can be set via lvchange
and lvcreate and that 'lvs' reports back the proper results.
gcc -O2 v4.8 on 32 bit architecture is causing a bug in parameter
passing. It does not happen with -01 nor -O0.
The problematic part of the code was strlen use in config.c in
the config_def_check fn and the call for _config_def_check_tree in it:
<snip>
rplen = strlen(rp);
if (!_config_def_check_tree(handle, vp, vp + strlen(vp), rp, rp + rplen, CFG_PATH_MAX_LEN - rplen, cn, cmd->cft_def_hash)) ...
</snip>
If compiled with -O0 (correct):
Breakpoint 1, config_def_check (cmd=0x819b050, handle=0x81a04f8) at config/config.c:775
(gdb) p vp
$1 = 0x8189ee0 <_cfg_path> "config"
(gdb) p strlen(vp)
$2 = 6
(gdb)
_config_def_check_tree (handle=0x81a04f8, vp=0x8189ee0 <_cfg_path>
"config", pvp=0x8189ee6 <_cfg_path+6> "", rp=0xbfffe1e8 "config",
prp=0xbfffe1ee "", buf_size=58, root=0x81a2568, ht=0x81a65
48) at config/config.c:680
(gdb) p vp
$4 = 0x8189ee0 <_cfg_path> "config"
(gdb) p pvp
$5 = 0x8189ee6 <_cfg_path+6> ""
If compiled with -O2 (incorrect):
Breakpoint 1, config_def_check (cmd=cmd@entry=0x8183050, handle=0x81884f8) at config/config.c:775
(gdb) p vp
$1 = 0x8172fc0 <_cfg_path> "config"
(gdb) p strlen(vp)
$2 = 6
(gdb) p vp + strlen(vp)
$3 = 0x8172fc6 <_cfg_path+6> ""
(gdb)
_config_def_check_tree (handle=handle@entry=0x81884f8, pvp=0x8172fc7
<_cfg_path+7> "host_list", rp=rp@entry=0xbffff190 "config",
prp=prp@entry=0xbffff196 "", buf_size=buf_size@entry=58, ht=0x
818e548, root=0x818a568, vp=0x8172fc0 <_cfg_path> "config") at
config/config.c:674
(gdb) p pvp
$4 = 0x8172fc7 <_cfg_path+7> "host_list"
The difference is in passing the "pvp" arg for _config_def_check_tree.
While in the correct case, the value of _cfg_path+6 is passed
(the result of vp + strlen(vp) - see the snippet of the code above),
in the incorrect case, this value is increased by 1 to _cfg_path+7,
hence totally malforming the string that is being processed.
This ends up with incorrect validation check and incorrect warning
messages are issued like:
"Configuration setting "config/checks" has invalid type. Found integer, expected section."
To workaround this issue, remove the "static" qualifier from the
"static char _cfg_path[CFG_PATH_MAX_LEN]". This causes the optimalizer
to be less aggressive (also shuffling the arg list for
_config_def_check_tree call helps).
Commit b248ba0a39 attempted to
prevent mirror devices which had a failed device in their
mirrored log from being usable/readable by LVM. This was to
protect against circular dependancies where one LVM command
could be blocked trying to read one of these affected mirrors
while the LVM command to fix/unblock that mirror was stuck
behind the currently running command.
The above commit went wrong when it used 'device_is_usable()' to
recurse on the mirrored log device to check if it was suspended
or blocked. The 'device_is_usable' function also contains a check
for reserved names - like *_mlog, etc. This last check always
triggered when checking a mirror's log simply because of the name,
not because it was suspended or blocked - a false positive.
The solution is to create a new function like 'device_is_usable',
but without the check for reserved names. Using this new function
(device_is_suspended_or_blocked), we can check the status of a
mirror's log device properly.
If there is no RAID support in the kernel but the default mirror
segtype is "raid1", converting legacy mirrors can be problematic.
For example, changing the log type or converting a mirror to a linear
LV does not require the RAID modules to be present. However, because
lp->segtype is set to be RAID1 by the configuration file, the command
fails.
We should only be setting lp->segtype when converting mirrors if it is
going to change (e.g. to linear or between mirror types).
In those places where mirrors were being created while assuming
a default segment type of "mirror", we include the '--type mirror'
argument to explicitly set the segment type. This will preserve
the mirror testing that is performed even though the default
mirroring segment type is now "raid1".
When both the '-i' and '-m' arguments are specified on the command
line, use the "raid10" segment type. This way, the native RAID10
personality is used through dm-raid rather than layering a mirror
on striped LVs. If the old behavior is desired, the '--type'
argument to use would be "mirror" rather than "raid10".
When reading an info about MDAs from lvmetad, we need to use 64 bit
int to read the value of the offset/size, otherwise the value is
overflows and then it's used throughout!
This is dangerous if we're trying to write such metadata area then,
mostly visible if we're using 2 mdas where the 2nd one is at the end
of the underlying device and hence the value of the mda offset is
high enough to cause problems:
(the offset trimmed to value of 0 instead of 4096m, so we write
at the very start of the disk (or elsewhere if the offset has
some other value!)

When creating a new thin pool and there's no profile requested

local or remote messages are received. If not,
log an error, dump the message data and ignore

When creating a timeout thread for snapshots, the thread is not

pthread_attr_t.

Initial basic support for repair.
It currently takes pool metadata spare volume, which
is used for recovery. New spare is created if the volume
is successfuly repaired.
After the operation the previous _tmeta volume is moved
into _tmeta%d volume and if everything is ok, this volume
could be removed.
New _tmeta needs to be pvmoved to proper place and also
converted to i.e. mirror if it should be mirrored.
Later version will try to automate some steps here.
Add new configure lvm.conf options for binaries thin_repair
and thin_dump.
Those are part of device-mapper-persistent-data package
and will be used for recovery of thin_pool.
Support tests with abort when libdm encounters internal
error - i.e. for dmsetup tool.
Code execution will be aborted when
env var DM_ABORT_ON_INTERNAL_ERRORS is set to 1
The PREFERRED allocation mechanism requires the number of areas in the
previous LV segment to match the number in the new segment being

When using a global_filter and if this filter is incorrectly
specified, we ended up with a segfault:
raw/~ $ pvs
Invalid filter pattern "r|/dev/sda".
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
In the example above a closing '|' character is missing at the end
of the regex. The segfault itself was caused by trying to destroy
the same filter twice in _init_filters fn within the error path
(the "bad" goto target):
bad:
if (f3)
f3->destroy(f3);
if (f4)
f4->destroy(f4);
Where f3 is the composite filter (sysfs + regex + type + md + mpath filter)
and f4 is the persistent filter which encompasses this composite filter
within persistent filter's 'real' field in 'struct pfilter'.
So in the end, we need to destroy the persistent filter only as
this will also destroy any 'real' filter attached to it.

Please treat this release like a release candidate.
Changes to the external interfaces since 2.02.98 are not yet frozen.
Updated releases will follow quickly (days not weeks) as any problems
are handled.
commit d00d45a8b6 introduced changes
that are causing cluster mirror tests to fail. Ultimately, I think
the change was right, but a proper clean-up will have to wait.
The portion of the commit we are reverting correlates to the
following commit comment:
2) lib/metadata/mirror.c:_delete_lv() - should have been calling
_activate_lv_like_model() with 'mirror_lv'. This is because
'mirror_lv' is the LV that the overall operation is being
performed on. We need to use this LV as the basis for
determining whether to activate locally, or across the
cluster, etc.
It appears that when legs or logs are removed from a mirror, they
are being activated before they are deleted in order to make them
top-level LVs that can be acted upon. When doing this, it appears
they are not activated based on the characteristics of the mirror
from which they came. IOW, if the mirror was exclusively active,
the sub-LVs are activated globally. This is a no-no. This then
made it impossible to activate_lv_like_model if the model was
"mirror_lv" instead of "lv" in _delete_lv(). Thus, at some point
this change should probably be put back and those location where
the sub-LVs are being improperly activated "shared" instead of
EX should be corrected.
Suggest to use _tdata and _tmeta devices for that.
This fixes regression from too relaxed change in
f1d5f6ae81
Without this patch there are some empty LVs created before
mirror code recognizes it cannot continue.

In case lvmetad is not used, we need to wait for udev to complete
after net-attached storage is initialized (after iscsi/fcoe service).
N.B. This also requires the storage to be attached synchronously
in the kernel itself.
Three fixme's addressed in this commit:
1) lib/metadata/lv_manip.c:_calc_area_multiple() - this could be
safely changed to a comment explaining that currently because
RAID10 can only have a 2-way mirror, we don't need to know the
number of stripes. However, we will need to know that in the
future if RAID10 is to support more than 2-way mirroring.
2) lib/metadata/mirror.c:_delete_lv() - should have been calling
_activate_lv_like_model() with 'mirror_lv'. This is because
'mirror_lv' is the LV that the overall operation is being
performed on. We need to use this LV as the basis for
determining whether to activate locally, or across the
cluster, etc.
3) tools/lvcreate.c:_lvcreate_params() - Minor clean-up. If
'-m 0' is given, treat it as though the mirroring argument
was not given (i.e. as though the requested segment type
was 'stripe' and not mirror).
The function lvm_vg_list_lvs was returning all logical
volumes, including *_tmeta and *_tdata. Added check
to verify that LV is visible before including in list
of returned logical volumes.

The --type mirror requires -m/--mirrrors:
lvconvert --type mirror vg/lvol0
--type mirror requires -m/--mirrors
Run `lvconvert --help' for more information.
The --type raid* is allowed (the checks already existed):
lvconvert --type raid10 vg/lvol0
Converting the segment type for vg/lvol0 from linear to raid10 is not yet supported.
The --type snapshot is a synonym to -s/--snapshot:
lvconvert -s vg/lvol0 vg/lvol1
Logical volume lvol1 converted to snapshot.
lvconvert --type snapshot vg/lvol0 vg/lvol1
Logical volume lvol1 converted to snapshot.
All the other segment types are not supported, e.g.:
lvconvert --type zero vg/lvol0
Conversion using --type zero is not supported.
Run `lvconvert --help' for more information.
Activation is needed only for clustered VG.
For non-clustered VG skip activation, since deactivate_lv()
is called without problems (no testing for lock presence).

When the merging of snapshot is finished, we need to clean dm table
intries for snapshot and -cow device. So for merging snapshot
we have to activate_lv plain 'cow' LV and let the table
resolver to its work - shortly deactivation_lv() request
will follow - in cluster this needs LV lock to be held by clvmd.
Also update a test - add small wait - if lvremove is not 'fast enough'
and merging process has not been stopped and $lv1 removed in background.
Ortherwise the following lvcreate occasionally finds name $lv1 still in use.

We check the version number of dm-raid before testing certain
features to make sure they are present. However, this has
become somewhat complicated by the fact that the version #'s
in the upstream kernel and the REHL6 kernel have been diverging.
This has been a necessity because the upstream kernel has
undergone ABI changes that have necessitated a bump in the
'Y' component of the version #, while the RHEL6 kernel has not.
Thus, we need to know that the ABI has not changed but the
features have been added. So, the current version #'ing stands
as follows:
RHEL6 Upstream Comment
======|==========|========
** Same until version 1.3.1 **
------|----------|--------
N/A | 1.4.0 | Non-functional change.
| | Removes arg from mapping function.
------|----------|--------
1.3.2 | 1.4.1 | RAID10 fix redundancy validation checks.
------|----------|--------
1.3.5 | 1.4.2 | Add RAID10 "far" and "offset" algorithm support.
| | Note this feature came later in RHEL6 as part of
| | a separate update/feature.
------|----------|--------
1.3.3 | 1.5.0 | Add message interface to allow manipulation of
| | the sync_action.
| | New status (STATUSTYPE_INFO) fields: sync_action
| | and mismatch_cnt.
------|----------|--------
1.3.4 | 1.5.1 | Add ability to restore transiently failed devices
| | on resume.
------|----------|--------
1.3.5 | 1.5.2 | 'mismatch_cnt' is zero unless [last_]sync_action
| | is "check".
------|----------|--------
To simplify, writemostly/writebehind, scrubbing, and transient device
failure restoration are all tested based on the same version
requirements: (1.3.5 < V < 1.4.0) || (V > 1.5.2). Since kernel
support for writemostly/writebehind has been around for some time,
this could mean a reduction in the scope of kernels tested for this
feature. I don't view this as much of a problem, since support for
this feature was only recently added to LVM. Thus, the user would
have to be using a very recent LVM version with an older kernel.
The mismatch count reported by a dm-raid kernel target used
to be effectively random, unless it was checked after a
"check" scrubbing action had been performed. Updates to the
kernel now mean that the mismatch count will be 0 unless a
check has been performed and discrepancies had been found.
This has been the intended behaviour all along.
This patch updates the test suite to handle the change.
The status printed for dm-raid targets on older kernels does not include
the syncaction field. This is handled by dev_manager_raid_status() just
fine by populating the raid status structure with NULL for that field.
However, lv_raid_sync_action() does not properly handle that field being
NULL. So, check for it and return 0 if it is NULL.
As the library handle has a dm pool associated with
it for long running processes it is required to close and
re-open the library to free the dm pool. Call added so
python clients can reclaim memory, lvm.gc().
Note: Any python objects on the heap become invalid at the
time this call is made. If referenced, a seg. fault could
occur. No simple way to make this safe with the current
memory management in the C library. Use with caution!

Add --poolmetadataspare option and creates and handles
pool metadata spare lv when thin pool is created.
With default setting 'y' it tries to ensure, spare has
at least the size of created LV.
Pool creation involves clearing of metadata device
which triggers udev watch rule we cannot udev synchronize with
in current code.
This metadata devices needs to be activated localy,
so in cluster mode deactivation and reactivation
is always needed.
However for non-clustered mode we may reload table
via suspend/resume path which avoids collision with
udev watch rule which was occasionaly triggering
retry deactivation loop.
Code has been also split into 2 separate code paths
for thin pools and thin volumes which improved readability
of the code as well.
Deactivation has been moved out of extend_pool() and
decision is now in _lv_create_an_lv() which knows
the change mode.
Since we vg_write&commit metadata LV inside lv_extend() call,
proper restore is needed in case something fails.
So add bad: section which deactivates activated LV
and removes it from VG.
Also check early for metadata LV name lengh fail.
The new lvm2-activation-net.service activates LVM volumes
after network-attached devices are set up (iSCSI and FCoE)
if lvmetad is disabled and hence the autoactivation is not
used.
When tree for thin LVs was using external_lv, there has been
far less optimal solution, that has tried to add certain
existing dependencie only when new node was added.
However this has lead to way to complex tree construction since
many repeated checks have been made during such tree build.
This patch move this detection to the proper _partial_tree generation
code and uses for it new 'activation' flag, which is set when
tree for ACTIVATION or PRELOAD is generated.
It increases performance when thins with external origins are used.
(in release update)
Created dlid for test is not needed afterward, so lower a memory
usage of this call is repeatedly used for building some large tree.
TODO: create function to use given buffer on stack as much cheaper.
Code needs to check if the layer origin device is suspended,
It's valid to create thinvolume snapshot of thinvolume which is also
used as an old-style snapshot. In this case we need to check -real
is suspended.
When adding origin_only - add only layer thin volume.
(in case it's also old-snapshot add only -real device)
Remove backup() call from update_pool_lv() as it's been there
duplicated and preperly order backup() call after lvresize,
so there is just one such call.
If the thin pool is known to be active, messages can be passed
to the pool even when the created thin volume is not going to be
activated.
So we do not need to stack large list of message and validate
and catch creation errors earlier in this case.
Replace the test for valid activation combination with simpler list of
deactivation combinations.
Clear send_messages flag when they have been delivered successfully.
There is no need to validate it for all other activations of the same
node in the dm_tree.
Also add extra debug message which shows the reason for skipping
sending of messages because the transaction_id has already the matching
value.
cfg_def_get_path uses a global static var to store the result (for efficiency).
So we need to apply the profile first and then get the path for the config item
when calling find_config_tree_* fns.
Also activation/auto_set_activation is not profilable (at least not now,
maybe later if we need that).

- lvs -o lv_attr has now 10 indicator bits
- use '--ignoremonitoring' instead of the shortcut '--ig' used before (since
it would be ambiguous with new '--ignoreactivationskip')
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.
The lvchange has both -k/--setactivationskip and
-K/--ignoreactivationskip option available for use.
The vgchange has only -K/--ignoreactivationskip, but
not the -k/--setactivationskip as the ACTIVATION_SKIP
flag is an LV property, not a VG one and so we change it
only by using the lvchange...
Also add -k/--setactivationskip y/n and -K/--ignoreactivationskip
options to lvcreate.
The --setactivationskip y sets the flag in metadata for an LV to
skip the LV during activation. Also, the newly created LV is not
activated.
Thin snapsots have this flag set automatically if not specified
directly by the --setactivationskip y/n option.
The --ignoreactivationskip overrides the activation skip flag set
in metadata for an LV (just for the run of the command - the flag
is not changed in metadata!)
A few examples for the lvcreate with the new options:
(non-thin snap LV => skip flag not set in MDA + LV activated)
raw/~ $ lvcreate -l1 vg
Logical volume "lvol0" created
raw/~ $ lvs -o lv_name,attr vg/lvol0

...when creating config trees while calling config_def_create_tree fn
that constructs a tree out of config_settings.h definition
(CFG_DEF_TREE_NEW/MISSING/DEFAULT/PROFILABLE).
Normally, the lvm dumpconfig processes only the configuration tree
that is at the top of the cascade. Considering the cascade is:
CONFIG_STRING -> CONFIG_PROFILE -> CONFIG_MERGED_FILES/CONFIG_FILE
...then:
(dumpconfig of lvm.conf only)
raw/~ $ lvm dumpconfig allocation
allocation {
maximise_cling=1
mirror_logs_require_separate_pvs=0
thin_pool_metadata_require_separate_pvs=0
thin_pool_chunk_size=64
}
(dumpconfig of selected profile configuration only)
raw/~ $ lvm dumpconfig --profile test allocation
allocation {
thin_pool_chunk_size=8
thin_pool_discards="passdown"
thin_pool_zero=1
}
(dumpconfig of given --config configuration only)
raw/~ $ lvm dumpconfig --config 'allocation{thin_pool_chunk_size=16}' allocation
allocation {
thin_pool_chunk_size=16
}
The --mergedconfig option causes the configuration cascade to be
merged before processing it with dumpconfig:
(dumpconfig of merged selected profile and lvm.conf)
raw/~ $ lvm dumpconfig --profile test allocation --mergedconfig
allocation {
maximise_cling=1
thin_pool_zero=1
thin_pool_discards="passdown"
mirror_logs_require_separate_pvs=0
thin_pool_metadata_require_separate_pvs=0
thin_pool_chunk_size=8
}
(dumpconfig merged given --config and selected profile and lvm.conf)
raw/~ $ lvm dumpconfig --profile test --config 'allocation{thin_pool_chunk_size=16}' allocation --mergedconfig
allocation {
maximise_cling=1
thin_pool_zero=1
thin_pool_discards="passdown"
mirror_logs_require_separate_pvs=0
thin_pool_metadata_require_separate_pvs=0
thin_pool_chunk_size=16
}
Hence with the --mergedconfig, we are able to see the
configuration that is actually used when processing any
LVM command while using any combination of --config/--profile
options together with lvm.conf file.
Till now, we needed the config tree merge only for merging
tag configs with lvm.conf. However, this type of merging
did a few extra exceptions:
- leaving out the tags section
- merging values in activation/volume_list
- merging values in devices/filter
- merging values in devices/types
Any other config values were replaced by new values.
However, we'd like to do a 'raw merge' as well, simply
bypassing the exceptions listed above. This will help
us to create a single tree representing the cascaded
configs like CONFIG_STRING -> CONFIG_PROFILE -> ...
The reason for this patch is that when trees are cascaded,
the first value found while traversing the cascade is used,
not making any exceptions like we do for tag configs.
When CFG_DEF_TREE_MISSING is created, it needs to know the status
of the check done on the tree used (the CFG_USED flag).
This bug was introduced with f1c292cc38
"make it possible to run several instances of configuration check at
once". This patch separated the CFG_USED and CFG_VALID flags in
a separate 'status' field in struct cft_check_handle.
However, when creating some trees, like CFG_DEF_TREE_MISSING,
we need this status to do a comparison with full config definition
to determine which items are missing and for which default values
were used. Otherwise, all items would be considered missing.
So, pass this status in a new field called 'check_status' in
struct config_def_tree_spec that defines how the (dumpconfig) tree
should be constructed (and this struct is passed to
config_def_create_tree fn then).
Start separating the validation from the action in the basic lvresize
code moved to the library.
Remove incorrect use of command line error codes from lvresize library
functions. Move errors.h to tools directory to reinforce this,
exporting public versions of the error codes in lvm2cmd.h for dmeventd
plugins to use.
Update code to match lvm coding standards
Disable/skip test - since it's accessing VGs available in the system.
Before reenable - validate it's not touching any PV outside those
created during test.
Condition needs to check for passed in pool_metadata_lv_name
which needs to be renamed to _tmeta, for !pool_metadata_lv_name
it's already created with correct _tmeta name.
The idea of using 'eprefix' unfortunatelly fails on /usr moved distros.
But there is also default --sysconfdir which is normaly set to /etc.
If unset it's PREFIX/etc.
For now revert.
FIXME: replace lvm vars with standard ones everyone is using.
Document following items:

configuration cascade - will be documented more in following commit...

These settins are customizable by profiles:
allocation/thin_pool_zero
allocation/thin_pool_discards
allocation/thin_pool_chunk_size
activation/thin_pool_autoextend_threshold
activation/thin_pool_autoextend_percent
Besides the classical configuration checks (type checking and
checking whether the item is recognized by lvm tools) for profiles,
do an extra check whether the configuration setting is customizable
by a profile at all. Give a warning message if not.
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).
The command to change the profile for existing VG/LV:
"vgchange/lvchange --profile <profile_name>"
The command to detach any existing profile from VG/LV:
"vgchange/lvchange --detachprofile"
If "vgcreate/lvcreate --profile <profile_name>" is used, the profile
name is automatically stored in metadata for making it possible to
load it automatically next time the VG/LV is used.
This is per VG/LV profile loading on demand. The profile itself is saved
in struct volume_group/logical_volume as "profile" field so we can
reference it whenever needed.
When placing the profile in a configuration cascade, this sequence is
used exactly:
CONFIG_STRING -> CONFIG_PROFILE -> CONFIG_FILE/MERGED_FILES
So if the profile is used, it overloads the lvm.conf (and any
existing tag configs). However, if "--config" is used to define
a custom configuration on command line, this overloads even the
profile config!
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.
Configuration profiles are selected configuration items that can
be loaded dynamically on demand and overlayed over existing
configuration on demand (either on cmd line by selecting the profile
name to be used globally or retrieved from metadata and used per
VG/LV basis only).
The default directory where profiles are stored is configurable
at compile time with --with-default-profile-subdir.
A helper type that helps with identification of the configuration source
which makes handling the configuration cascade a bit easier, mainly
removing and adding configuration trees to cascade dynamically.
Currently, the possible types are:
CONFIG_UNDEFINED - configuration is not defined yet (not initialized)
CONFIG_FILE - one file configuration
CONFIG_MERGED_FILES - configuration that is a result of merging more files into one
CONFIG_STRING - configuration string typed on cmd line directly
CONFIG_PROFILE - profile configuration (the new type of configuration, patches will follow...)
Also, generalize existing "remove_overridden_config_tree" to work with
configuration type identification in a cascade. Before, it was just
the CONFIG_STRING we used. Now, we need some more to add in a
cascade (like the CONFIG_PROFILE). So, we have:
struct dm_config_tree *remove_config_tree_by_source(struct cmd_context *cmd, config_source_t source);
config_source_t config_get_source_type(struct dm_config_tree *cft);
... for removing the tree by its source type from the cascade and
simply getting the source type.
In the last update not all code paths have set the archived flag.
If we run in test mode or without archiving enabled - set the bit
as well - so test whether archiving has been called succesfully
will be ok. (in relase fix).
Do not keep multiple archives for the executed command.
Reuse the ALLOCATABLE_PV from pv status for
ARCHIVED_VG vg status. Mark VG with the bit with the
first archivation.
Instead of calling syslog() from signal event handler,
run all logging code in the main loop.
Also it needs to take the lock and check for list
only when really needed.
...not the other way round as it was before. This way it makes
more sense as BA use is exceptional and it's useless to
contaminate the log with messages about BA not being found
in metadata.
Show 'at' pointer address with pool name.
It's useful for debugging to be able to locate pointer address in the
debug trace log. It's only available when compiled with extra debug
compilation flag DEBUG_POOL in make.tmpl.
Since reduce the message has informational character and doesn't lead
to exit of the command - reduce the log level to info print as we
use for other similar types.
Reindent next print message.
Test the different RAID lvchange scenarios under snapshot as well.
This patch also updates calculations for where to write to an
underlying PV when testing various syncactions.
If the user would upconvert a linear LV to a mirror without specifying
the segment type ("--type mirror" vs "--type raid1"), the "mirror"
segment type would be chosen without consulting the 'default_mirror_segtype'
setting in lvm.conf. This is now used as the basis for determining
which should be used if left unspecified.
Check for enough space in preallocated buffer.
Fixes problem, when lvm code started to suddenly allocate
too big memory chunks.
TODO: lvmetad protocol should announce needed size ahead,
so if metadata have 1MB we are not reallocating memory...
When vgname has not existed in metadata, it has crashed on double free
in format_instance destroy() - since VG was created, used FID and was
released - which also released FID, so further use was accessing bad
memory.
Fix it for this code path before release_vg() so FID will exists
when _vg_read_file_name() returns NULL.
Revert commit 37ffe6a. If static variables are to be used then we
will put them elsewhere and limit the optimization to reporting
code, rather that have it be used in the general case.

We use mpath filtering (enabled by devices/multipath_component_detection=1
lvm.conf setting) to avoid a situation in which we could end up with
duplicate PVs found. We need to filter out the mpath components and
use only the top-level multipath mapping instead for PV scans.
However, if the there are partitions on multipath components, we need
to filter out these partitions. This patch fixes it so those
partitions found on multipath components are filtered as well.
For example, let's consider following configuration:
The sda and sdb are mpath components, sda1 and sdb1 the partitions
on these components, mpath-test the mpath mapping and mpath-test1
the partition mapping - created automatically by kpartx right
after mpath-test creation. The PV resides on top.
(LVM PV)
|
mpath-test1
|
mpath-test
|
sda1 ---------- sdb1
\ | |/
sda sdb
E.g. for sda1 and sdb1, the code will detect this and it skips
the partition that belongs to the multipath component:
<snippet from the log>
#filters/filter-mpath.c:156 /dev/sda1: Device is a partition, using primary device /dev/sda for mpath component detection
130 #ioctl/libdm-iface.c:1724 dm status (253:2) OF[16384](*1)
131 #filters/filter-mpath.c:196 /dev/sda1: Skipping mpath component device
</snippet from the log>
Othewise, we'd see the same PV label on sda1/sdb1 and mpath-test1
at the same time ending up with "Duplicate PV found...".
The dev_get_primary_dev fn now returns:
0 if the dev is already a primary dev
1 if the dev is a partition, primary dev is returned in "result" (output arg)
-1 on error
This way, we can better differentiate between the error state
and the state in which the dev supplied is not a partition
in the caller (this was same return value before).
Also, if we already have information about the device type,
we can check its major number against the list of known device
types (cmd->dev_types) directly, so we don't need to go through
the sysfs - we only check the major:minor pair which is a bit
more straightforward and faster. If the dev_types does not have
any info about this device type, the code just fallbacks to
the original sysfs interface to get the partition info.
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
Fix the usecase when only PV list is specified.
With --poolmetadatasize PV list is used for metadata extents.
Without --poolmetadatasize PV list is used for 100% extension of LV.
Handle the case, when nothing could be resized (i.e. in dmeventd)
Add limit for buffer so if the test is running in some loop
and generating lots of output, the output log gets too large
for browser to display (at least Firefox is quite confused
to display 300MB logs).
For now limit max output of one test to 32MB.
If there is need to see full log set LVM_TEST_UNLIMITED to
disable interruption of test.
harness now also prints max memory used during test,
it user and system time and amount of read/write operations.
Support 'clasic' way of resizing of metadata LV.
Normally we disallow to work with internal 'invisible' devices.
But in this case we can make an exception and if user has some
special needs how to extend thin pool metadata LV - support it.
After resize of metadata LV, the pool will be suspended and resumed,
to be notified of this change.
Add support for lvresize of thin pool metadata device.
lvresize --poolmetadatasize +20 vgname/thinpool_lv
or
lvresize -L +20 vgname/thinpool_lv_tmeta
Where the second one allows all the args for resize (striping...)
and the first option resizes accoding to the last metadata lv segment.
Giving volume type information about being 'metadata' type of volume
has higher priority then i.e. 'mirror' or 'thin' flag - for those
type we have 'target attr' (7th. field).
The special suspend/resume code in lv_remove for LVM1 snapshots was interpsersed
with a vg_commit call. However, while with LVM1 metadata, vg_commit is
technically a no-op, the activation code relied on the ondisk and incore
metadata being the same, since on LVM1, a "commit" happens in vg_write
already. Since the "ondisk" metadata was previously not available with format1
(and incore was silently used instead, via lvmcache), the problem was masked.
This ties the two preceding changes together, actually using the "ondisk"
version of VG metadata instead of calling into lvmcache when activating
volumes. The cache hooks are still used as a fallback, because we don't have an
uncached scanning API yet.
Previously, we have relied on UUIDs alone, and on lvmcache to make getting a
"new copy" of VG metadata fast. If the code which triggers the activation has
the correct VG metadata at hand (the version which is currently on disk), it can
now hand it to the activation code directly.
This allows us to get the current on-disk version of the metadata whenever we
have the current in-flight version, without a recourse to scanning or lvmcache.
When the init scripts are run from within systemd, the systemd
needs to know the pidfile for it to work correctly when the
daemon itself is killed. Otherwise, systemd keeps these services
in "active" and "exited state" at the same time
(it assumes RemainAfterExit=yes without the pidfile reference in
chkconfig header).

For non udev path use DM_DEFAULT_NAME_MANGLING_MODE.
Skip this test when using real /dev dir, since udev is not able
to create such device name unless mangled...
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)
This means that a test failure in one flavour no longer prevents all the
subsequent flavours from running. We also get an aggregate summary at
the end of the entire batch, instead of summaries interspersed with
progress output. Do not fail when flavour overrides are empty
Add a generic dump operation to filters and make the composite filter call
through to its components. Previously, when global filter was set, the code
would treat the toplevel composite filter's private area as if it belonged a
persistent filter, trying to write nonsense into a non-sensical file.
Also deal with NULL cmd->filter gracefully.
The global filter in system's lvm.conf may conflict with the custom filter we
set up in vgimportclone (they can easily fail to intersect). Since we explicitly
avoid talking to lvmetad in vgimportclone, it is safe and reasonable to do so.
Merge duplicate code that was validating lvcreate args
for creation of thin and snapshot.
Keep most of thin checks in _check_thin_parameters().
Update couple error messages.
This patch adds the ability to set the minimum and maximum I/O rate for
sync operations in RAID LVs. The options are available for 'lvcreate' and
'lvchange' and are as follows:
--minrecoveryrate <Rate> [bBsSkKmMgG]
--maxrecoveryrate <Rate> [bBsSkKmMgG]
The rate is specified in size/sec/device. If a suffix is not given,
kiB/sec/device is assumed. Setting the rate to 0 removes the preference.
This patch may not be fully correct. It tries to solve
the imbalanced suspend counter.
The problem starts when some LV is created and fails in resume path.
(i.e. resuming to large PV (enforced) over small loop devices)
This fails in _resume_node() after dm_task_run(). And while
existing device with empty table is left in inactive table,
further calls are reporting this device is in suspend state.
When later the lvm2 tries to rollback created device and deactivate it,
it will end with internal error, when we try to decrement
never incremented suspend counter.
As an 'easy fix' for now update suspend counter only for live nodes.
TODO: explore better fix.
There is no point in creation of 2chunks snapshot,
since the snapshot is invalidated immeditelly with the first write
as there is no free chunk for COW blocks
(2 chunks are used by the snap header and the 1st. metadata chunk).
Enhance error message about the lowest usable size.
Instead of seeing wierd overflows inside the lvm code,
giving false error messages, kill the user experiment in the begining.
Who needs to use more then 16EiB with lvm2 and 64bit anyway...
Avoid hitting memory corruption (double free) in code path,
where PV FID has been already destroyed and the released pointer
was left in PV structure and could have been tried to be released
from there 2nd. time with final context destruction.
Switch to use libdm dm_get_status_snapshot() function for
reading status info.
This fixes bug, where the code was using 32bit integers,
while the snapshot target is able to return 64bit sizes.
However this also means, someone is using >1TB snapshot
cow devices, which is actually very bad idea anyway, since the
perfomance and memory usage in this case is very bad.
Since we use get_status also in dmeventd, which may use one pool
for a single device, in case it would be repeatedly returning error,
it may not be freeing the pool and would cause slow but steady growth.
To stay safe in the error path release any allocated memory.
Check for mounted fs also for vgchange command, not just lvchange.
NOTE: Code is using lv_info() just like lvs_in_vg_opened().
It should be probably converted into lv_is_active_locally().
To detect mounted device, use also /proc/self/mountinfo
as so far the check was only able to detect ext4 mounted filesystem.
TODO:
Once proper testing for this feature is added, it may appear,
mountinfo check is enough and covers all cases and sysfs check
could be removed.
There are places where 'lv_is_active' was being used where it was
more correct to use 'lv_is_active_locally'. For example, when checking
for the existance of a kernel instance before asking for its status.
Most of the time these would work correctly. (RAID is only allowed on
non-clustered VGs at the moment, which means that 'lv_is_active' and
'lv_is_active_locally' would give the same result.) However, it is
more correct to use the proper variant and it helps with future
scenarios where targets might be allowed exclusively (or clustered) in
a cluster VG.
If calling _snap_target_present on 2nd and later call and for
a segment with MERGING flag set, we must return the status of
snapshot as well as snapshot-merge target presence, not just
the snapshot one.
Accept --yes on all commands, even ones that don't today have prompts,
so that test scripts that don't care about interactive prompts no
longer need to deal with them.
But continue to mention --yes only in the command prototypes that
actually use it.
This fixes a long standing regression since LVM2 2.02.74 (commit 4efb1d9c,
"Update heuristic used for default and detected data alignment.")
The default PE alignment could be used (via MAX()) even if it was
determined that the device's MD stripe width, or minimal_io_size or
optimal_io_size were not factors of the default PE alignment (either 64K
or the newer default of 1MB, etc). This bug would manifest if the
default PE alignment was larger than the overriding hint that the
device provided (e.g. default of 1MB vs optimal_io_size of 768K).

This is just a temporary fix to support allocation of -l%FREE.
The number of free extent serves to calculate estimated metadata
size. This value is then substracted twice to keep some
free space for recover.
If the dm_realloc would fail, the already allocate _maps_buffer
memory would have been lost (overwritten with NULL).
Fix this by using temporary line buffer.
Also add a minor cleanup to set end of buffer to '\0',
only when we really know the file size fits the preallocated buffer.
Setting the cmd->default_settings.udev_fallback also requires DM
driver version check. However, this caused useless mapper/control
access with ioctl if not needed actually. For example if we're not
using activation code, we don't need to know the udev_fallback as
there's no node and symlink processing.
For example, this premature mapper/control access caused problems
when using lvm2app even when no activation happens - there are
situations in which we don't need to use mapper/control, but still
need some of the lvm2app functionality. This is also the case for
lvm2-activation systemd generator which just needs to look at the
lvm2 configuration, but it shouldn't touch mapper/control.
For reporting stacked or joined devices properly in cluster,
we need to report their activation state according the lock,
which activated this device tree.
This is getting a bit complex - current code tries simple approach -
For snapshot - return status for origin.
For thin pool - return status of the first known active thin volume.
For the rest of them - try to use dependency list of LVs and skip
known execptions. This should be able to recursively deduce top level
device for given LV.
(in release fix)
Commit 756bcabbfe restricted the
situations at which the LVM autoactivation fires - only on ADD
event for devices other than DM. However, this caused a problem
for MD devices...
MD devices are activated in a very similar way as DM devices:
the MD dev is created on first appeareance of MD array member
(ADD event) and stays *inactive* until the array is complete.
Just then the MD dev turns to active state and this is reported
to userspace by CHANGE event.
Unfortunately, we can't differentiate between the CHANGE event
coming from udev trigger/WATCH rule and CHANGE event coming from
the transition to active state - MD would need to add similar logic
we already use to detect this in DM world. For now, we just have
to enable pvscan --cache on *all* CHANGE events for MD so the
autoactivation of the LVM volumes on top of MD works.
A downside of this is that a spurious CHANGE event for MD dev
can cause the LVM volumes on top of it to be automatically activated.
However, one should not open/change the device underneath until
the device above in the stack is removed! So this situation should
only happen if one opens the MD dev for read-write by mistake
(and hence firing the CHANGE event because of the WATCH udev rule),
or if calling udev trigger manually for the MD dev.
(No WHATS_NEW here as this fixes the commit mentioned
above and which has not been released yet.)
Add new lvs segment field 'Monitor' showing 3 states:
"monitored" - LV is monitored by dmeventd.
"not monitored" - LV is currently not being monitored by dmeventd
"" (empty) - LV does not support monitoring, or dmeventd support
is not compiled in.
Support for exclusive activation of snapshots revealed some problems.
When snapshot is created, COW LV is activated first (for clearing) and
then it's transformed into snapshot's COW LV, but it has left the lock
for such LV active in cluster and this lock could not have been removed
from dlm, unless snapshot has been removed within same dlm session.
If the user tried to remove snapshot after rebooting node, the lock was
missing, and COW LV could not have been detached.
Patch modifes the approach in this way:
Always deactivate COW LV for clustered vg after clearing (so it's
activated again via imlicit snapshot activation rule when snapshot is activated).
When snapshot is removed, activate COW LV as independend LV, so the lock
will exist for such LV, but only when the snapshot is active.
Also add test case for testing snapshot removal after cluster reboot.
Patch fixes hidden problem with lvm metadata caching.
When the pretest was made, only the commited data have been cached back
since the call lv_info_by_lvid() triggers mda read operation.
However call of lv_suspend_if_active() also reads precommited metadata.
The problem is visible in this sequence of calls:
vg_write(), suspend_lv(), vg_commit(), resume_lv()
which may end with leaving outdated mda in lvm cache, since vg_write()
drops cached metadata and vg_commit() only transforms precommited
to commited metadata, but in the case of pretesting we have
no precommited mda available so the cache will continue to use
old metadata. This happens, when suspend LV is inactive.
Merging multiple config files together needs to know newest (highest)
timestamp of merged files. Persistent cache file is being used
only in case, the config file is older then .cache file.
Add verbose message when we will not obtain devices from udev
(i.e. testing is using different udev dir, and the log was
giving misleading info about using udev)
Add proper error message if zalloc from pull would have failed.
Fix typo obolete -> obsolete
Assign fid as the last step before returning VG.
Make the format reader for 'lvm1' and 'pool' equal to 'lvm2' format reader.
It has caused memory corruption to lvmetad as it later calls
destroy_instance() to allocated fid. This patch should fix problems
with crashing test lvmetad-lvm1.sh.
Sharing char* with field has a problem in error path,
when we allocate event, but fail to allocate timeout string.
Instead of creating complicated error paths to resolve
it individually stop using unions, and let the resource
to be released in a simple _free_message().
Commit 756bcabbfe fixed autoactivation
to not trigger on each uevent for a PV that appeared in the system
most notably the events that are triggered artificially (udevadm
trigger or as the result of the WATCH udev rule being applied that
consequently generates CHANGE uevents). This fixed a situation in
which VGs/LVs were activated when they should not.
BUT we still need to care about the coldplug used at boot to
retrigger the ADD events - the "udevadm trigger --action=add"!
For non-DM-based PVs, this is already covered as for these we
run the autoactivation on ADD event only.
However, for DM-based PVs, we still need to run the
autoactivation even for the artificial ADD event, reusing
the udev DB content from previous proper CHANGE event that
came with the DM device activation.
Simply, this patch fixes a situation in which we run extra
"udevadm trigger --action=add" (or echo add > /sys/block/<dev>/uevent)
for DM-based PVs (cryptsetup devices, multipath devices, any
other DM devices...).
Without this patch, while using lvmetad + autoactivation,
any VG/LV that has a DM-based PV and for which we do not
call the activation directly, the VG/LV is not activated.
For example a VG with an LV with root FS on it which is directly
activated in initrd and then missing activation of the rest
of the LVs in the VG because of unhandled uevent retrigger on
boot after switching to root FS (the "coldplug").
(No WHATS_NEW here as this fixes the commit mentioned
above and which was not released yet.)
There is no need to strdup a key when inserting into
the hash table as the table allocates memory and copies
the string. This was causing memory to be lost.
'lvchange' is used to alter a RAID 1 logical volume's write-mostly and
write-behind characteristics. The '--writemostly' parameter takes a
PV as an argument with an optional trailing character to specify whether
to set ('y'), unset ('n'), or toggle ('t') the value. If no trailing
character is given, it will set the flag.
Synopsis:
lvchange [--writemostly <PV>:{t|y|n}] [--writebehind <count>] vg/lv
Example:
lvchange --writemostly /dev/sdb1:y --writebehind 512 vg/raid1_lv
The last character in the 'lv_attr' field is used to show whether a device
has the WriteMostly flag set. It is signified with a 'w'. If the device
has failed, the 'p'artial flag has priority.
Example ("nosync" raid1 with mismatch_cnt and writemostly):
[~]# lvs -a --segment vg
LV VG Attr #Str Type SSize
raid1 vg Rwi---r-m 2 raid1 500.00m
[raid1_rimage_0] vg Iwi---r-- 1 linear 500.00m
[raid1_rimage_1] vg Iwi---r-w 1 linear 500.00m
[raid1_rmeta_0] vg ewi---r-- 1 linear 4.00m
[raid1_rmeta_1] vg ewi---r-- 1 linear 4.00m
Example (raid1 with mismatch_cnt, writemostly - but failed drive):
[~]# lvs -a --segment vg
LV VG Attr #Str Type SSize
raid1 vg rwi---r-p 2 raid1 500.00m
[raid1_rimage_0] vg Iwi---r-- 1 linear 500.00m
[raid1_rimage_1] vg Iwi---r-p 1 linear 500.00m
[raid1_rmeta_0] vg ewi---r-- 1 linear 4.00m
[raid1_rmeta_1] vg ewi---r-p 1 linear 4.00m
A new reportable field has been added for writebehind as well. If
write-behind has not been set or the LV is not RAID1, the field will
be blank.
Example (writebehind is set):
[~]# lvs -a -o name,attr,writebehind vg
LV Attr WBehind
lv rwi-a-r-- 512
[lv_rimage_0] iwi-aor-w
[lv_rimage_1] iwi-aor--
[lv_rmeta_0] ewi-aor--
[lv_rmeta_1] ewi-aor--
Example (writebehind is not set):
[~]# lvs -a -o name,attr,writebehind vg
LV Attr WBehind
lv rwi-a-r--
[lv_rimage_0] iwi-aor-w
[lv_rimage_1] iwi-aor--
[lv_rmeta_0] ewi-aor--
[lv_rmeta_1] ewi-aor--

Commit 9fd7ac7d03 introduced a way a
method of avoiding reading from mirrors with a device failure. If
a device was found to be dead, the mapping table was checked for
'handle_errors' or 'block_on_error'. These strings were checked for
in the table string via 'strstr', which could also match on strings
like, 'no_handle_errors' or 'no_block_on_error'. No such strings
exist, but we don't want to have problems in the future if they do.
So, we check for ' <string>{'\0'|' '}'.
Move common code for changing activation state from
vgchange and lvchange to one function.
Fix the order of checks - so we always implicitelly
activate snapshots and thin volumes in exclusive mode,
and we do not allow local deactivation for them.
Revert commit 31c24dd9f2. This commit
was used to force a RAID device-mapper table to be loaded into the
kernel despite the fact that it was identical to the one already
loaded. The effect allowed a RAID array with a transiently failed
device to refresh and reintegrate the failed device. This operation
is better done in the kernel on a 'resume'. Since,
'lvchange --refresh' already performs a suspend/resume cycle, the
above commit is not needed once the kernel change is made. Reverting
the commit removes an unnecessary (at least for now) change to the
device-mapper interface.
New options to 'lvchange' allow users to scrub their RAID LVs.
Synopsis:
lvchange --syncaction {check|repair} vg/raid_lv
RAID scrubbing is the process of reading all the data and parity blocks in
an array and checking to see whether they are coherent. 'lvchange' can
now initaite the two scrubbing operations: "check" and "repair". "check"
will go over the array and recored the number of discrepancies but not
repair them. "repair" will correct the discrepancies as it finds them.
'lvchange --syncaction repair vg/raid_lv' is not to be confused with
'lvconvert --repair vg/raid_lv'. The former initiates a background
synchronization operation on the array, while the latter is designed to
repair/replace failed devices in a mirror or RAID logical volume.
Additional reporting has been added for 'lvs' to support the new
operations. Two new printable fields (which are not printed by
default) have been added: "syncaction" and "mismatches". These
can be accessed using the '-o' option to 'lvs', like:
lvs -o +syncaction,mismatches vg/lv
"syncaction" will print the current synchronization operation that the
RAID volume is performing. It can be one of the following:
- idle: All sync operations complete (doing nothing)
- resync: Initializing an array or recovering after a machine failure
- recover: Replacing a device in the array
- check: Looking for array inconsistencies
- repair: Looking for and repairing inconsistencies
The "mismatches" field with print the number of descrepancies found during
a check or repair operation.
The 'Cpy%Sync' field already available to 'lvs' will print the progress
of any of the above syncactions, including check and repair.
Finally, the lv_attr field has changed to accomadate the scrubbing operations
as well. The role of the 'p'artial character in the lv_attr report field
as expanded. "Partial" is really an indicator for the health of a
logical volume and it makes sense to extend this include other health
indicators as well, specifically:
'm'ismatches: Indicates that there are discrepancies in a RAID
LV. This character is shown after a scrubbing
operation has detected that portions of the RAID
are not coherent.
'r'efresh : Indicates that a device in a RAID array has suffered
a failure and the kernel regards it as failed -
even though LVM can read the device label and
considers the device to be ok. The LV should be
'r'efreshed to notify the kernel that the device is
now available, or the device should be 'r'eplaced
if it is suspected of failing.
Attempting to up-convert an inactive mirror when there is insufficient
space leads to the following message:
Unable to allocate extents for mirror(s).
ABORTING: Failed to remove temporary mirror layer inactive_mimagetmp_3.
Manual cleanup with vgcfgrestore and dmsetup may be required.
This is caused by a failure to execute the 'deactivate_lv' function in
the error condition. The deactivate returns an error because the LV is
already inactive. This patch checks if the LV is activate and calls
deactivate_lv only if it is. This allows the error cleanup code to work
properly in this condition.
It wasn't that big of a deal anyway, since there was no previous vg_commit
that needed to be reverted. IOW, no harm was done if the allocation failed.
The message was scary and useless.
I've updated the dm_status_raid structure and dm_get_status_raid()
function to make it handle the new kernel status fields that will
be coming in dm-raid v1.5.0. It is backwards compatible with the
old status line - initializing the new fields to '0'. The new
structure is also more amenable to future changes. It includes a
'reserved' field that is currently initialized to zero but could
be used to hold flags describing new features. It also now uses
pointers for the character strings instead of attempting to allocate
their space along with the structure (causing the size of the
structure to be variable). This allows future fields to be appended.
The new fields that are available are:
- sync_action : shows what the sync thread in the kernel is doing
(idle, frozen, resync, recover, check, repair, or
reshape)
- mismatch_count: shows the number of discrepancies which were
found or repaired by a "check" or "repair"
process, respectively.
...to not pollute the common and format-independent code in the
abstraction layer above.
The format1 pv_write has common code for writing metadata and
PV header by calling the "write_disks" fn and when rewriting
the header itself only (e.g. just for the purpose of changing
the PV UUID) during the pvchange operation, we had to tweak
this functionality for the format1 case and we had to assign
the PV the orphan state temporarily.
This patch removes the need for this format1 tweak and it calls
the write_disks with appropriate flag indicating whether this is
a PV write call or a VG write call, allowing for metatada update
for the latter one.
Also, a side effect of the former tweak was that it effectively
invalidated the cache (even for the non-format1 PVs) as we
assigned it the orphan state temporarily just for the format1
PV write to pass.
Also, that tweak made it difficult to directly detect whether
a PV was part of a VG or not because the state was incorrect.
Also, it's not necessary to backup and restore some PV fields
when doing a PV write:
orig_pe_size = pv_pe_size(pv);
orig_pe_start = pv_pe_start(pv);
orig_pe_count = pv_pe_count(pv);
...
pv_write(pv)
...
pv->pe_size = orig_pe_size;
pv->pe_start = orig_pe_start;
pv->pe_count = orig_pe_count;
...this is already done by the layer below itself (the _format1_pv_write fn).
So let's have this cleaned up so we don't need to be bothered
about any 'format1 special case for pv_write' anymore.
The pv_by_path might be also dangerous to use as it does not
count with any other metadata areas but the ones found on the PV
itself. If metadata was not found on the PV referenced by the path,
it returned no PV though it might have been referenced by metadata
elsewhere (on other PVs...).
If extending a VG and including a PV with 0 MDAs that was already
a part of a VG, the vgextend allowed that PV to be added and we
ended up *with one PV in two VGs*!
The vgextend code used the 'pv_by_path' fn that returned a PV for
a given path. However, when the PV did not have any metadata areas,
the fn just returned a PV without any reference to existing VG.
Consequently, any checks for the existing VG failed.

Unable to add physical volume '/dev/sda' to volume group 'vg2'.
Before, the find_pv_by_name call always failed if the PV found was orphan.
However, we might use this function even for a PV that is not part of any VG.
This patch adds 'allow_orphan' arg to find_pv_by_name fn that allows that.
_find_pv_by_name -> find_pv_by_name
_find_pv_in_vg -> find_pv_in_vg
_find_pv_in_vg_by_uuid -> find_pv_in_vg_by_uuid
The only callers of the underscored variants were their wrappers
without the underscore. No other part of the code referenced the
underscored variants.
Usage of layer was not the best plan here - for proper devices stack
we have to keep correct reference in volume_group structure and
make the new thin pool LV appear as a new volume.
Keep the flag whether given thin pool argument has been given on command
line or it's been 'estimated'
Call of update_pool_params() must not change cmdline given args and
needs to know this info.
Since there is a need to move this update function into /lib, we cannot
use arg_count().
FIXME: we need some generic mechanism here.
This was a regression introduced with e33fd978a8
(libdm v1.02.68/lvm2 v2.02.89) with the introduction of new output
fields blkdevname and blkdevs_used for ls and deps dmsetup commands.
A new common '_process_options' fn was added with that commit, but the
fn was called prematurely which then broke processing of
'dmsetup splitname -o' which should implicitly use '-c' option
and this was failing after the commit:
alatyr/~ $ dmsetup splitname -o lv_name /dev/mapper/vg_data-test
Option not recognised: lv_name
Couldn't process command line.
The '-c' had to be used for correct operation:
alatyr/~ $ dmsetup splitname -c -o lv_name /dev/mapper/vg_data-test
LV
test
Now fixed to work as it did before:
alatyr/~ $ dmsetup splitname -o lv_name /dev/mapper/vg_data-test
LV
test
'in_sync' was using the last field in the RAID status output as
the location for the sync ratio field. The sync ratio may not always
be the last field, but it will always be the 7th field. So we switch
to using the absolute value rather than computing the last field
index number.
Previous commit included changes to WHATSNEW, but the code changes
were missing. Here is the description from the previous commit:
commit bbc6378b73
Author: Jonathan Brassow <jbrassow@redhat.com>
Date: Thu Feb 21 11:31:36 2013 -0600
RAID: Make 'lvchange --refresh' restore transiently failed RAID PVs
A new function (dm_tree_node_force_identical_table_reload) was added to
avoid the suppression of identical table reloads. This allows RAID LVs
to reload the on-disk superblock information that contains which devices
have failed and the bitmaps. If the failed device has returned, this has
the effect of restoring the device and initiating recovery. Without this
patch, the user had to completely deactivate their RAID LV and re-activate
it in order to restore the failed device. Now they simply need to
suspend and resume (which is done by 'lvchange --refresh').
The identical table suppression is only avoided if the LV is not PARTAIL
(i.e. all of it's devices can be seen and read by LVM) and the kernel
status of the array contains failed devices. In other words, the function
will only be called in the case where we may have success in restoring
a failed device in the array.
lvm dumpconfig [--ignoreadvanced] [--ignoreunsupported]
--ignoreadvanced causes the advanced configuration options to be left
out on dumpconfig output
--ignoreunsupported causes the options that are not officially supported
to be lef out on dumpconfig output
This shows up in the output as a short commentary:
$ lvm dumpconfig --type default --withcomments metadata/disk_areas
# Configuration option metadata/disk_areas.
# This configuration option is advanced.
# This configuration option is not officially supported.
disk_areas=""
lvm dumpconfig [--withcomments] [--withversions]
The --withcomments causes the comments to appear on output before each
config node (if they were defined in config_settings.h).
The --withversions causes a one line extra comment to appear on output
before each config node with the version information in which the
configuration setting first appeared.
There's a possibility to interconnect the dm_config_node with an
ID, which in our case is used to reference the configuration
definition ID from config_settings.h. So simply interconnecting
struct dm_config_node with struct cfg_def_item.
This patch also adds support for enhanced config node output besides
existing "output line by line". This patch adds a possibility to
register a callback that gets called *before* the config node is
processed line by line (for example to include any headers on output)
and *after* the config node is processed line by line (to include any
footers on output). Also, it adds the config node reference itself
as the callback arg in addition to have a possibility to extract more
information from the config node itself if needed when processing the
output callback (e.g. the key name, the id, or whether this is a
section or a value etc...).
If the config node from lvm.conf/--config tree is recognized and valid,
it's always coupled with the config node definition ID from
config_settings.h:
struct dm_config_node {
int id;
const char *key;
struct dm_config_node *parent, *sib, *child;
struct dm_config_value *v;
}
For example if the dm_config_node *cn holds "devices/dev" configuration,
then the cn->id holds "devices_dev_CFG" ID from config_settings.h, -1 if
not found in config_settings.h and 0 if matching has not yet been done.
To support the enhanced config node output, a new structure has been
defined in libdevmapper to register it:
struct dm_config_node_out_spec {
dm_config_node_out_fn prefix_fn; /* called before processing config node lines */
dm_config_node_out_fn line_fn; /* called for each config node line */
dm_config_node_out_fn suffix_fn; /* called after processing config node lines */
};
Where dm_config_node_out_fn is:
typedef int (*dm_config_node_out_fn)(const struct dm_config_node *cn, const char *line, void *baton);
(so in comparison to existing callbacks for config node output, it has
an extra dm_config_node *cn arg in addition)
This patch also adds these functions to libdevmapper:
- dm_config_write_node_out
- dm_config_write_one_node_out
...which have exactly the same functionality as their counterparts
without the "out" suffix. The "*_out" functions adds the extra hooks
for enhanced config output (prefix_fn and suffix_fn mentioned above).
One can still use the old interface for config node output, this is
just an enhancement for those who'd like to modify the output more
extensively.
lvm dumpconfig [--type {current|default|missing|new}] [--atversion] [--validate]
This patch adds above-mentioned args to lvm dumpconfig and it maps them
to creation and writing out a configuration tree of a specific type
(see also previous commit):
- current maps to CFG_TYPE_CURRENT
- default maps to CFG_TYPE_DEFAULT
- missing maps to CFG_TYPE_MISSING
- new maps to CFG_TYPE_NEW
If --type is not defined, dumpconfig defaults to "--type current"
which is the original behaviour of dumpconfig before all these changes.
The --validate option just validates current configuration tree
(lvm.conf/--config) and it writes a simple status message:
"LVM configuration valid" or "LVM configuration invalid"
Configuration checking is initiated during config load/processing
(_process_config fn) which is part of the command context
creation/refresh.
This patch also defines 5 types of trees that could be created from
the configuration definition (config_settings.h), the cfg_def_tree_t:
- CFG_DEF_TREE_CURRENT that denotes a tree of all the configuration
nodes that are explicitly defined in lvm.conf/--config
- CFG_DEF_TREE_MISSING that denotes a tree of all missing
configuration nodes for which default valus are used since they're
not explicitly used in lvm.conf/--config
- CFG_DEF_TREE_DEFAULT that denotes a tree of all possible
configuration nodes with default values assigned, no matter what
the actual lvm.conf/--config is
- CFG_DEF_TREE_NEW that denotes a tree of all new configuration nodes
that appeared in given version
- CFG_DEF_TREE_COMPLETE that denotes a tree of the whole configuration
tree that is used in LVM2 (a combination of CFG_DEF_TREE_CURRENT +
CFG_DEF_TREE_MISSING). This is not implemented yet, it will be added
later...
The function that creates the definition tree of given type:
struct dm_config_tree *config_def_create_tree(struct config_def_tree_spec *spec);
Where the "spec" specifies the tree type to be created:
struct config_def_tree_spec {
cfg_def_tree_t type; /* tree type */
uint16_t version; /* tree at this LVM2 version */
int ignoreadvanced; /* do not include advanced configs */
int ignoreunsupported; /* do not include unsupported configs */
};
This tree can be passed to already existing functions that write
the tree on output (like we already do with cmd->cft).
There is a new lvm.conf section called "config" with two new options:
- config/checks which enables/disables checking (enabled by default)
- config/abort_on_errors which enables/disables aborts on any type of
mismatch found in the config (disabled by default)
Add support for configuration checking - type checking and recognition
of registered configuration settings that LVM2 understands and also
check the structure of the configuration. Log error on any mismatch
found.
A hash over all allowed configuration paths is created which helps
with matching the exact configuration (lvm.conf/--config tree) with
the configuration item definition from config_settings.h in an
efficient and one-step way.
Two more helper flags are introduced for each configuration definition
item:
- CFG_USED which marks the item as being used (lvm.conf/--config)
This helps with identifying missing configuration options
(and for which defaults were used) when traversing the tree later.
- CFG_VALID which denotes that the item has already been checked and
it was found valid. This improves performance, so if the check
is called once again on the same tree which was not reloaded, we
can just return the state from previous check (with a possibility
to force the check if needed).
The new function that config.h exports and which is going to be used
to perform the configuration checking is:
int config_def_check(struct cmd_context *cmd, int force, int skip, int suppress_messages)
...which is exported internally via config.h.
Export this functionality from libdevmapper just for
convenience and general use when reading boolean values
which could be defined either in a numeric way with 0/1
or by using strings with "true"/"false", "yes"/"no",
"on"/"off", "y"/"n".
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.
This patch adds basic structures that encapsulate the config_settings.h
content - it takes each item and puts it in structures:
- cfg_def_type_t to define config item type
- cfg_def_value_t to define config item (default) value
- flags used to define the nature and use of the config item:
- CFG_NAME_VARIABLE for items with variable names (e.g. tags)
- CFG_ALLOW_EMPTY for items where empty value is allowed
- CFG_ADVANCED for items which are considered as "advanced settings"
- CFG_UNSUPPORTED for items which are not officially supported
(config options mostly for internal use and testing/debugging)
- cfg_def_item_t to encapsulate the whole definition of the config
definition itself
Each config item is referenced by named ID, e.g. "devices_dir_CFG"
instead of directly typing the path "devices/dir" as it was before.
This patch also adds cfg_def_get_path helper function to get the
config setting path up to the root for given config ID
(it returns the path in form of "abc/def/.../xyz" where the "abc"
is the topmost element).
This file centrally defines all recognized LVM2 configuration
sections and settings. Each item here has its parent, set of
allowed types, default value, brief comment, version the setting
first appeared in and flags that further define the nature of
the configuration setting and its use.
When a section was empty in a configuration tree (no children - this is
allowed) and we were looking for a config node inside that section, the
_find_config_node function incorrectly returned the section itself if
the node inside that section was not found.
For example the configuration below:
The config:
abc {
}
And a function call to get the "def" node inside "abc" section:
_find_config_node(..., "abc/def")
...returned the "abc" node instead of NULL ("def" not found).
This in turn caused segfaults in the code using lookups in such
a configuration tree as we (correctly) expected that the node
returned was always the one we were looking for or NULL if not
found. But if incorrect node was returned instead, we processed
that as if this was the node we were looking for and so we
processed its value as well. But sections don't have values => segfault.
Just to prevent accidental and improper use when reading the layout
from disk because of the already existing disk_areas_xl[0] lists
that are variable in size. We can read pv_header_extension only
after we know exactly where the lists end...
There are new reporting fields for Embedding Area: ea_start and ea_size.
An example of 1m Embedding Area and relevant reporting fields:
raw/~ # pvs -o pv_name,pe_start,ea_start,ea_size
PV 1st PE EA start EA size
/dev/sda 2.00m 1.00m 1.00m
To create an Embedding Area during PV creation (pvcreate or as part of
the vgconvert operation), we need to define the Embedding Area size.
The Embedding Area start will be calculated automatically by the tools.
This patch adds --embeddingareasize argument to pvcreate and vgconvert.
The PV header extension information (PV header extension version, flags
and list of Embedding Area locations) is stored just beyond the PV header base.
When calculating the Embedding Area start value (ea_start), the same logic is
used as when calculating the pe_start value for Data Area - the value must
follow exactly the same alignment restrictions for its start value
(the alignment detected automatically or provided via command line using
the --dataalignment and --dataalignmentoffset arguments).
The Embedding Area is placed at the very start of the PV, starting at
ea_start. The Data Area starting at pe_start is placed next. The pe_start is
still properly aligned. Due to the pe_start alignment, it's possible that the
resulting Embedding Area size (ea_size) ends up bigger in size than requested
(but never less than requested).
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).
Extract restorable PV creation parameters from struct pvcreate_params into
a separate struct pvcreate_restorable_params for clarity and also for better
maintainability when adding any new items later.
Add basic support for converting LV into an external origin volume.
Syntax:
lvconvert --thinpool vg/pool --originname renamed_origin -T origin
It will convert volume 'origin' into a thin volume, which will
use 'renamed_origin' as an external read-only origin.
All read/write into origin will go via 'pool'.
renamed_origin volume is read-only volume, that could be activated
only in read-only mode, and cannot be modified.
Use the field 'origin' for reporting external origin lv name.
For thin volumes with external origin, report the size of
external origin size via:
lvs -o+origin_size
Do not allow conversion of external origin into writeable LV,
and prohibit changing the external origin size.
If the snapshot origin is also external origin, merge is prohibited.
Reorder activation code to look similar for preload tree and
activation tree.
Its also give much better suppport for device stacking,
since now we also support activation of snapshot which might
be then used for other devices.
A new function (dm_tree_node_force_identical_table_reload) was added to
avoid the suppression of identical table reloads. This allows RAID LVs
to reload the on-disk superblock information that contains which devices
have failed and the bitmaps. If the failed device has returned, this has
the effect of restoring the device and initiating recovery. Without this
patch, the user had to completely deactivate their RAID LV and re-activate
it in order to restore the failed device. Now they simply need to
suspend and resume (which is done by 'lvchange --refresh').
The identical table suppression is only avoided if the LV is not PARTAIL
(i.e. all of it's devices can be seen and read by LVM) and the kernel
status of the array contains failed devices. In other words, the function
will only be called in the case where we may have success in restoring
a failed device in the array.
When there are missing PVs in a volume group, most operations that alter
the LVM metadata are disallowed. It turns out that 'vgimport' is one of
those disallowed operations. This is bad because it creates a circular
dependency. 'vgimport' will complain that the VG is inconsistent and that
'vgreduce --removemissing' must be run. However, 'vgreduce' cannot be run
because it has not been imported. Therefore, 'vgimport' must be one of
the operations allowed to change the metadata when PVs are missing. The
'--force' option is the way to make 'vgimport' happen in spite of the
missing PVs.
If zero metadata copies are used, there's no further recalculation of
PV alignment that happens when adding metadata areas to the PV and
which actually calculates the alignment correctly as a matter of fact.
So fix this for "PV without MDA" case as well.
Before this patch:
[1] raw/~ # pvcreate --dataalignment 8m --dataalignmentoffset 4m
--metadatacopies 1 /dev/sda
Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
[1] raw/~ # pvs -o pv_name,pe_start
PV 1st PE
/dev/sda 12.00m
[1] raw/~ # pvcreate --dataalignment 8m --dataalignmentoffset 4m
--metadatacopies 0 /dev/sda
Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
[1] raw/~ # pvs -o pv_name,pe_start
PV 1st PE
/dev/sda 8.00m
After this patch:
[1] raw/~ # pvcreate --dataalignment 8m --dataalignmentoffset 4m
--metadatacopies 1 /dev/sda
Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
[1] raw/~ # pvs -o pv_name,pe_start
PV 1st PE
/dev/sda 12.00m
[1] raw/~ # pvcreate --dataalignment 8m --dataalignmentoffset 4m
--metadatacopies 0 /dev/sda
Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
[1] raw/~ # pvs -o pv_name,pe_start
PV 1st PE
/dev/sda 12.00m
Also, remove a superfluous condition "pv->pe_start < pv->pe_align" in:
if (pe_start == PV_PE_START_CALC && pv->pe_start < pv->pe_align)
pv->pe_start = pv->pe_align ...
This part of the condition is not reachable as with the PV_PE_START_CALC,
we always have pv->pe_start set to 0 from the PV struct initialisation
(...the pv->pe_start value is just being calculated).
If '--mirrors/-m' and '--stripes/-i' are used together when creating
a logical volume, mirrors-over-stripes is currently chosen. The user
can override this by using the '--type raid10' option on creation.
However, we want a place where we can set the default behavior to
'raid10' explicitly - similar to the "mirror" and "raid1" tunable,
mirror_segtype_default.
A follow-on patch should use this new setting to change the default
from "mirror" to "raid10", as this is the preferred segment type.
When a device fails, we may wish to replace those segments with an
error segment. (Like when a 'vgreduce --removemissing' removes a
failed device that happens to be a RAID image/meta.) We are then left
with images that we will eventually want to remove or replace.
This patch allows us to pull out these virtual "error" sub-LVs. This
allows a user to 'lvconvert -m -1 vg/lv' to extract the bad sub-LVs.
Sub-LVs with error segments are considered for extraction before other
possible devices so that good devices are not accidentally removed.
This patch also adds the ability to replace RAID images that contain error
segments. The user will still be unable to run 'lvconvert --replace'
because there is no way to address the 'error' segment (i.e. no PV
that it is associated with). However, 'lvconvert --repair' can be
used to replace the image's error segment with a new PV. This is also
the most appropriate way to do it, since the LV will continue to be
reported as 'partial'.
Currently it is impossible to remove a failed PV which has a RAID LV
on it. This patch fixes the issue by replacing the failed PV with an
'error' segment within the affected sub-LVs. Once there is no longer
a RAID LV using the PV, it can be removed.
Most often, it is better to replace a failed RAID device with a spare.
(You can use 'lvconvert --repair <vg>/<LV>' to accomplish that.)
However, if there are no spares in the volume group and none will be
added, it is useful to be able to removed the failed device.
Following patches address the ability to perform 'lvconvert' operations
on RAID LVs that contain sub-LVs composed of 'error' segments.
We have been using 'mirror_region_size' in lvm.conf as the default region
size for RAID logical volumes as well as mirror logical volumes. Since,
"raid" is more inclusive and representative than "mirror", I have changed
the name of this setting. We must still check for the old setting and warn
the user if we are overriding it with the new setting if both happen to be
present.
Instead of check for lv_is_active() for thin pool LV,
query the whole pool via new pool_is_active().
Fixes a problem when we cannot change discards settings
for active pool device where the actual layer for pool
device was inactive, but thin volumes using thin pool
have been active.
This internal function check for active pool device.
For cluster it checks every thin volume,
On the non-clustered VG we need to check just
for presence of -tpool device.
Update the error path after problems with suspend_lv or vg_commit.
It's not exactly well defined what should happen, and this
code seems to appear in many different instancies<F2> in the
whole source code tree - we should probably pick the best version.
On glibc, those are erroneously (namespace pollution) pulled in via
other headers. this doesn't work with conformant libcs (musl libc in
this case), we simply need to include all needed headers.

There are currently a few issues with the reporting done on RAID LVs and
sub-LVs. The most concerning is that 'lvs' does not always report the
correct failure status of individual RAID sub-LVs (devices). This can
occur when a device fails and is restored after the failure has been
detected by the kernel. In this case, 'lvs' would report all devices are
fine because it can read the labels on each device just fine.
Example:
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvs -a -o name,vg_name,attr,copy_percent,devices vg
LV VG Attr Cpy%Sync Devices
lv vg rwi-a-r-- 100.00 lv_rimage_0(0),lv_rimage_1(0)
[lv_rimage_0] vg iwi-aor-- /dev/sda1(1)
[lv_rimage_1] vg iwi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(1)
[lv_rmeta_0] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sda1(0)
[lv_rmeta_1] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(0)
However, 'dmsetup status' on the device tells us a different story:
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# dmsetup status vg-lv
0 1024000 raid raid1 2 DA 1024000/1024000
In this case, we must also be sure to check the RAID LVs kernel status
in order to get the proper information. Here is an example of the correct
output that is displayed after this patch is applied:
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvs -a -o name,vg_name,attr,copy_percent,devices vg
LV VG Attr Cpy%Sync Devices
lv vg rwi-a-r-p 100.00 lv_rimage_0(0),lv_rimage_1(0)
[lv_rimage_0] vg iwi-aor-p /dev/sda1(1)
[lv_rimage_1] vg iwi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(1)
[lv_rmeta_0] vg ewi-aor-p /dev/sda1(0)
[lv_rmeta_1] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(0)
The other case where 'lvs' gives incomplete or improper output is when a
device is replaced or added to a RAID LV. It should display that the RAID
LV is in the process of sync'ing and that the new device is the only one
that is not-in-sync - as indicated by a leading 'I' in the Attr column.
(Remember that 'i' indicates an (i)mage that is in-sync and 'I' indicates
an (I)mage that is not in sync.) Here's an example of the old incorrect
behaviour:
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvs -a -o name,vg_name,attr,copy_percent,devices vg
LV VG Attr Cpy%Sync Devices
lv vg rwi-a-r-- 100.00 lv_rimage_0(0),lv_rimage_1(0)
[lv_rimage_0] vg iwi-aor-- /dev/sda1(1)
[lv_rimage_1] vg iwi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(1)
[lv_rmeta_0] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sda1(0)
[lv_rmeta_1] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(0)
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvconvert -m +1 vg/lv; lvs -a -o name,vg_name,attr,copy_percent,devices vg
LV VG Attr Cpy%Sync Devices
lv vg rwi-a-r-- 0.00 lv_rimage_0(0),lv_rimage_1(0),lv_rimage_2(0)
[lv_rimage_0] vg Iwi-aor-- /dev/sda1(1)
[lv_rimage_1] vg Iwi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(1)
[lv_rimage_2] vg Iwi-aor-- /dev/sdc1(1)
[lv_rmeta_0] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sda1(0)
[lv_rmeta_1] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(0)
[lv_rmeta_2] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sdc1(0) ** Note that all the images currently are marked as 'I' even though it is
only the last device that has been added that should be marked.
Here is an example of the correct output after this patch is applied:
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvs -a -o name,vg_name,attr,copy_percent,devices vg
LV VG Attr Cpy%Sync Devices
lv vg rwi-a-r-- 100.00 lv_rimage_0(0),lv_rimage_1(0)
[lv_rimage_0] vg iwi-aor-- /dev/sda1(1)
[lv_rimage_1] vg iwi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(1)
[lv_rmeta_0] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sda1(0)
[lv_rmeta_1] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(0)
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvconvert -m +1 vg/lv; lvs -a -o name,vg_name,attr,copy_percent,devices vg
LV VG Attr Cpy%Sync Devices
lv vg rwi-a-r-- 0.00 lv_rimage_0(0),lv_rimage_1(0),lv_rimage_2(0)
[lv_rimage_0] vg iwi-aor-- /dev/sda1(1)
[lv_rimage_1] vg iwi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(1)
[lv_rimage_2] vg Iwi-aor-- /dev/sdc1(1)
[lv_rmeta_0] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sda1(0)
[lv_rmeta_1] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(0)
[lv_rmeta_2] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sdc1(0)
** Note only the last image is marked with an 'I'. This is correct and we can
tell that it isn't the whole array that is sync'ing, but just the new
device.
It also works under snapshots...

We can avoid many dev_manager (ioctl) calls by caching the results of
previous calls to lv_raid_dev_health. Just considering the case where
'lvs -a' is called to get the attributes of a RAID LV and its sub-lvs,
this function would be called many times. (It would be called at least
7 times for a 3-way RAID1 - once for the health of each sub-LV and once
for the health of the top-level LV.) This is a good idea because the
sub-LVs are processed in groups along with their parent RAID LV and in
each case, it is the parent LV whose status will be queried. Therefore,
there only needs to be one trip through dev_manager for each time the
group is processed.
Similar to the way thin* accesses its kernel status, we add a method
for RAID to grab the various values in its status output without the
higher levels (LVM) having to understand how to parse the output.
Added functions include:
- lib/activate/dev_manager.c:dev_manager_raid_status()
Pulls the status line from the kernel
- libdm/libdm-deptree.c:dm_get_status_raid()
Parses status line and puts components into dm_status_raid struct
- lib/activate/activate.c:lv_raid_dev_health()
Accesses dm_status_raid to deliver raid dev_health string
The new structure and functions can provide a more unified way to access
status information. ('lv_raid_percent' could switch to using these
functions, for example.)
If there was a nested mountpoint inside an existing mount path,
blkdeactivate could fail to unmount such a mountpoint as it
needs to deactivate the deepest path first and continue upwards.
For example the simplest reproducer:
[root@rhel6-a ~]# lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 4G 0 disk
|-vg-lvol0 (dm-2) 253:2 0 32M 0 lvm /mnt/a
`-vg-lvol1 (dm-3) 253:3 0 32M 0 lvm /mnt/a/b
Before this patch:
[root@rhel6-a ~]# blkdeactivate -u
Deactivating block devices:
UMOUNT: unmounting vg-lvol0 (dm-2) mounted on /mnt/a
umount: /mnt/a: device is busy.
(In some cases useful info about processes that use
the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1))
UMOUNT: unmounting vg-lvol1 (dm-3) mounted on /mnt/a/b
LVM: deactivating Logical Volume vg/lvol1
(deactivation of vg/lvol0 is skipped as /mnt/a that is on lvol0
can't be unmounted - it still has /mnt/a/b as nested mountpoint!)
With this patch applied:
[root@rhel6-a ~]# blkdeactivate -u
Deactivating block devices:
UMOUNT: unmounting vg-lvol1 (dm-3) mounted on /mnt/a/b
UMOUNT: unmounting vg-lvol0 (dm-2) mounted on /mnt/a
LVM: deactivating Logical Volume vg/lvol0
LVM: deactivating Logical Volume vg/lvol1
===
Also, this patch contains a fix for processing mangled mount paths:
[root@rhel6-a ~]# lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 4G 0 disk
`-vg-lvol0 (dm-2) 253:2 0 32M 0 lvm /mnt/x y z
[root@rhel6-a ~]# lsblk -r
vg-lvol0 253:2 0 32M 0 lvm /mnt/x\x20y\x20z
(the mount path is mangled with \xNN that is visible in raw
lsblk output only and which is used in blkdeactive as well)
Before this patch:
[root@rhel6-a ~]# blkdeactivate -u
Deactivating block devices:
umount: /mnt/x\x20y\x20z: not found
After this patch applied:
[root@rhel6-a ~]# blkdeactivate -u
Deactivating block devices:
UMOUNT: unmounting vg-lvol0 (dm-2) mounted on /mnt/x\x20y\x20z
LVM: deactivating Logical Volume vg/lvol0
For reseting locale environment into significantly less memory
consuming version 'C' - use LC_ALL instead of LANG since it has
higher priority in locale settings.
Otherwise we may observe whole locale-archive which might be
over 100MB on i.e. Fedora systems locked in memory with
some daemons.
The idea is to avoid a period when an existing VG is not mapped to either the
old or the new name. (Note that the brief "blackout" was present even if the
name did not actually change.) We instead allow a brief overlap of a VG existing
under both names, i.e. a query for a VG might succeed but before a lock is
acquired the VG disappears.
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.
fmt1 doesn't have a separate commit function: updates take effect
immediately vg_write is called, so we must update lvmetad at this
point if we're going to go on and ask lvmetad for the VG metadata
again before calling the commit function (though that's probably an
unsupported and pointless thing to do anyway as the client must
already have that data and it cannot have changed because it's locked
and with devs suspended we shouldn't be communicating with lvmetad;
so when that's fixed properly, this fix here can be reverted).
This problem showed up as an internal error when lvremoving an LVM1
snapshot.
> Internal error: LV snap1 (00000000000000000000000000000001) missing from preload metadata
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/891855
Rename lvmetad_warning() to lvmetad_connect_or_warn().
Log all connection attempts on the client side, whether successful or not.
Reduce some nesting and remove a redundant assertion.
We need to call sync_local_dev_names directly as pvscan uses
VG_GLOBAL lock and this one *does not* cause the synchronization
(sync_dev_names) to be called on unlock (VG_GLOBAL is not a real VG):
define unlock_vg(cmd, vol)
do { \
if (is_real_vg(vol)) \
sync_dev_names(cmd); \
(void) lock_vol(cmd, vol, LCK_VG_UNLOCK); \
} while (0)
Without this fix, we end up without udev synchronization for the
pvscan --cache (mainly for -aay that causes the VGs/LVs to be
autoactivated) and also udev synchronization cookies are then left
in the system since they're not managed properly (code before sets
up udev sync cookies, but we have to call dm_udev_wait at least once
after that to do the wait and cleanup).
Before, the pvscan --cache -aay was called on each ADD and CHANGE
uevent (for a device that is not a device-mapper device) and each CHANGE
event (for a PV that is a device-mapper device).
This causes troubles with autoactivation in some cases as CHANGE event
may originate from using the OPTION+="watch" udev rule that is defined
in 60-persistent-storage.rules (part of the rules provided by udev
directly) and it's used for all block devices
(except fd*|mtd*|nbd*|gnbd*|btibm*|dm-*|md* devices). For example, the
following sequence incorrectly activates the rest of LVs in a VG if one
of the LVs in the VG is being removed:
[root@rhel6-a ~]# pvcreate /dev/sda
Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
[root@rhel6-a ~]# vgcreate vg /dev/sda
Volume group "vg" successfully created
[root@rhel6-a ~]# lvcreate -l1 vg
Logical volume "lvol0" created
[root@rhel6-a ~]# lvcreate -l1 vg
Logical volume "lvol1" created
[root@rhel6-a ~]# vgchange -an vg
0 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg" now active
[root@rhel6-a ~]# lvs
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Move Log
Cpy%Sync Convert
lvol0 vg -wi------ 4.00m
lvol1 vg -wi------ 4.00m
[root@rhel6-a ~]# lvremove -ff vg/lvol1
Logical volume "lvol1" successfully removed
[root@rhel6-a ~]# lvs
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Move Log
Cpy%Sync Convert
lvol0 vg -wi-a---- 4.00m
...so the vg was deactivated, then lvol1 removed, and we end up with
lvol1 removed (which is ok) BUT with lvol0 activated (which is wrong)!!!
This is because after lvol1 removal, we need to write metadata to the
underlying device /dev/sda and that causes the CHANGE event to be
generated (because of the WATCH udev rule set on this device) and this
causes the pvscan --cache -aay to be reevaluated.
We have to limit this and call pvscan --cache -aay to autoactivate
VGs/LVs only in these cases:
--> if the *PV is not a dm device*, scan only after proper device
addition (ADD event) and not with any other changes (CHANGE event)
--> if the *PV is a dm device*, scan only after proper mapping
activation (CHANGE event + the underlying PV in a state "just
activated")
If a RAID array is not in-sync, replacing devices should not be allowed
as a general rule. This is because the contents used to populate the
incoming device may be undefined because the devices being read where
not in-sync. The kernel enforces this rule unless overridden by not
allowing the creation of an array that is not in-sync and includes a
devices that needs to be rebuilt.
Since we cannot know the sync state of an LV if it is inactive, we must
also enforce the rule that an array must be active to replace devices.
That leaves us with the following conditions:
1) never allow replacement or repair of devices if the LV is in-active
2) never allow replacement if the LV is not in-sync
3) allow repair if the LV is not in-sync, but warn that contents may
not be recoverable.
In the case where a user is performing the repair on the command line via
'lvconvert --repair', the warning is printed before the user is prompted
if they would like to replace the device(s). If the repair is automated
(i.e. via dmeventd and policy is "allocate"), then the device is replaced
if possible and the warning is printed.
It isn't possible to choose a sane default for snapshot size, so just
play it straight and use the passed size instead of adding special
behavior for 0.
Also revert change to Python lib, size parameter must be supplied.

This reverts commit ed23da95b6.
Hash table device_to_pvid seems to contain references to
already deleted pvids and so revert to the older
behaviour using allocated memory.
All operations on shared hash tables need to be protected by mutexes. Moreover,
lookup and subsequent key removal need to happen atomically, to avoid races (and
possible double free-ing) between multiple threads trying to manipulate the same
VG.
If the lvmcache_info_from_pvid() fails to find valid
info, invoke the lookup by dev, and only in this case
call lvmcache_info_from_pvid() again.
Also check for the result of info and return
error directly, so the NULL is not passed
to lvmcache_get_label().
If we fail to get memory for mutex, hash the mutex
or fail somewhere along pthread function calls
return allocated resources back and unlock vg_lock_map mutex.
Detect failure of dm_pool_strdup() and print error in fail path.
Save one extra strchr call - since we already know the distance
for the '=' character.
Drop stack trace from return after log_error().
When the abort_on_internal_errors is enabled, we aborted prior
the syslog logging output.
Since such fatal error gets level _LOG_FATAL it should
not be blocked by debug_level() check so lets move it further,
to get abort error logged also via syslog.
Since we are doing just dump and function doesn't report
any error, explicitely ignore return values from
dm_config_write_node and dm_asprintf.
Same applies for the logging function.
If no size is given, size defaults to 0, which in lvm_lv_snapshot will

We can also use this for conversion between different mirror segment
types. Each new segment type converter then needs to check itself
whether the --stripes is applicable.
The motivation to grab the global lock is to avoid a scan and metadata parsing
for each PV, but the cost of obtaining metadata is _mostly_ mitigated by having
lvmetad around. Not taking the global lock improves throughput when multiple pvs
or related commands are running in parallel, like in RHEV.
Calling pvscan --cache with -aay on a PV without an MDA would spuriously fail
with an internal error, because of an incorrect assumption that a parsed VG
structure was always available. This is not true and the autoactivation handler
needs to call vg_read to obtain metadata in cases where the PV had no MDAs to
parse. Therefore, we pass vgid into the handler instead of the (possibly NULL)
VG coming from the PV's MDA.
Arghh, this was bad last-minute shortening of if() expression

dm_tree_node_set_thin_pool_discard() must not run in the same

For dev_create_file use cache mem pool to avoid memleak.
Attempting pvmove on RAID LVs replaces the kernel RAID target with
a temporary pvmove target, ultimately destroying the RAID LV. pvmove

an image of the RAID LV.
In case we don't want to activate, autoactivate or have the

but it makes no harm for other settings (the part of the code
that reads these three settings is shared, but there's no
reason to separate it only for this change).
Rework thin feature detection to support runtime

If the resume of preloaded node fails, do not leave such

could have been then removed only by dmsetup command.

Do a better job explaining the '--stripes/-i' option to lvcreate
when it comes to RAID 4/5/6. The extra devices needed for parity
are implicitly added to the argument given. So a 5-device RAID6
logical volume is created with '-i 3' - indicating 3 stripes plus
the implicit 2 devices needed for RAID6.
$ export DM_DISABLE_UDEV=1
$ dmsetup create test --table "0 1 zero"
Udev is running and DM_DISABLE_UDEV environment variable is set. Bypassing udev, device-mapper library will manage device nodes in device directory.

Udev is running and DM_DISABLE_UDEV environment variable is set. Bypassing udev, LVM will manage logical volume symlinks in device directory.
Udev is running and DM_DISABLE_UDEV environment variable is set. Bypassing udev, LVM will obtain device list by scanning device directory.
Udev is running and DM_DISABLE_UDEV environment variable is set. Bypassing udev, device-mapper library will manage device nodes in device directory.
Setting this environment variable will cause a full fallback
to old direct node and symlink management in libdevmapper and lvm2.
It means:
- disabling udev synchronization
(--noudevsync in dmsetup and --noudevsync + activation/udev_sync=0
lvm2 config)
- disabling dm and any subsystem related udev rules
(--noudevrules in dmsetup and activation/udev_rules=0 lvm2 config)
- management of nodes/symlinks under /dev directly by libdevmapper/lvm2
(--verifyudev in dmsetup and activation/verify_udev_operations=1
lvm2 config)
- not obtaining any device list from udev database
(devices/obtain_device_list_from_udev=0 lvm2 config)
Note: we could set all of these before - there's no functional change!
However the DM_DISABLE_UDEV environment variable is a nice shortcut
to make it easier for libdevmapper users so that one can switch off all
of the udev management off at one go directly on the command line,
without a need to modify any source or add any extra switches.
If udev synchronization is disabled by means of --noudevsync
option, we should disable just the synchronization and nothing else.
The udev fallback (verifying udev operations and fixing the
nodes/symlinks if found incorrect) is orthogonal and controlled
by a separate activation/verify_udev_operations configuration option.
Allow restoring metadata with thin pool volumes.
No validation is done for this case within vgcfgrestore tool -
thus incorrect metadata may lead to destruction of pool content.
Configurable settings for thin pool create
if they are not specified on command line.
New supported lvm.conf options are:
allocation/thin_pool_chunk_size
allocation/thin_pool_discards
allocation/thin_pool_zero
Check if target supports discards for chunk sizes,
that are not power of 2 (just multiple of 64K),
and enable it in case it's supported by thin kernel target.
Similar to the way the 'mirror', 'raid1' and 'raid10' segment types set
the number of mirrors to 2 ('-m 1') if the argument is not specified,
here we set the number of stripes to 2 if not given on the command line
when creating a RAID10 LV.
Commit bf2741376d started to use
lv_is_active() instead of call for lv_info & info.exists so
we cover also cluster activated devices.
For snapshost the conversion was not correct and introduced
regression by blocking creation of snapshot of inactive LV.
Fix it by assigning lv_is_active() directly.
Note: we still have minor issue to fix - to make
lv_is_???? function able to return error states since
lv_info() may fail.
Move common functions for lvcreate and lvconvert.
get_pool_params() - read thin pool args.
update_pool_params() - updates/validates some thin args.
It is getting complicated and even few more things will be
implemented, so to avoid reimplementing things differently
in lvcreate and lvconvert code has been splitted
into 2 common functions that allow some future extension.
Target tells us its version, and we may allow different set of options
to be supported with different version of driver.
Idea is to provide individual feature flags and later be
able to query for them.
This patch is intended to fix bug 825323 - FS turns read-only during a double
fault of a mirror leg and mirrored log's leg at the same time. It only
affects a 2-way mirror with a mirrored log. 3+-way mirrors and mirrors
without a mirrored log are not affected.
The problem resulted from the fact that the top level mirror was not
using 'noflush' when suspending before its "down-convert". When a
mirror image fails, the bios are queue until a suspend is recieved. If
it is a 'noflush' suspend, the bios can be safely requeued in the DM
core. If 'noflush' is not used, the bios must be pushed through the
target and if a device is failed for a mirror, that means issuing an
error. When an error is received by a file system, it results in it
turning read-only (depending on the FS).
Part of the problem was is due to the nature of the stacking involved in
using a mirror as a mirror's log. When an image in each fail, the top
level mirror stalls because it is waiting for a log flush. The other
stalls waiting for corrective action. When the repair command is issued,
the entire stacked arrangement is collapsed to a linear LV. The log
flush then fails (somewhat uncleanly) and the top-level mirror is suspended
without 'noflush' because it is a linear device.
This patch allows the log to be repaired first, which in turn allows the
top-level mirror's log flush to complete cleanly. The top-level mirror
is then secondarily reduced to a linear device - at which time this mirror
is suspended properly with 'noflush'.

Commit 9fd7ac7d03 did not handle mirrors
that contained mirrored logs. This is because the status line of the
mirror does not give an indication of the health of the mirrored log,
as you can see here:
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# dmsetup status vg-lv vg-lv_mlog
vg-lv: 0 409600 mirror 2 253:6 253:7 400/400 1 AA 3 disk 253:5 A
vg-lv_mlog: 0 8192 mirror 2 253:3 253:4 7/8 1 AD 1 core
Thus, the possibility for LVM commands to hang still persists when mirror
have mirrored logs. I discovered this while performing some testing that
does polling with 'pvs' while doing I/O and killing devices. The 'pvs'
managed to get between the mirrored log device failure and the attempt
by dmeventd to repair it. The result was a very nasty block in LVM
commands that is very difficult to remove - even for someone who knows
what is going on. Thus, it is absolutely essential that the log of a
mirror be recursively checked for mirror devices which may be failed
as well.
Despite what the code comment says in the aforementioned commit...
+ * _mirrored_transient_status(). FIXME: It is unable to handle mirrors
+ * with mirrored logs because it does not have a way to get the status of
+ * the mirror that forms the log, which could be blocked.
... it is possible to get the status of the log because the log device
major/minor is given to us by the status output of the top-level mirror.
We can use that to query the log device for any DM status and see if it
is a mirror that needs to be bypassed. This patch does just that and is
now able to avoid reading from mirrors that have failed devices in a
mirrored log.
Addresses: rhbz855398 (Allow VGs to be built on cluster mirrors),
and other issues.
The LVM code attempts to avoid reading labels from devices that are
suspended to try to avoid situations that may cause the commands to
block indefinitely. When scanning devices, 'ignore_suspended_devices'
can be set so the code (lib/activate/dev_manager.c:device_is_usable())
checks any DM devices it finds and avoids them if they are suspended.
The mirror target has an additional mechanism that can cause I/O to
be blocked. If a device in a mirror fails, all I/O will be blocked
by the kernel until a new table (a linear target or a mirror with
replacement devices) is loaded. The mirror indicates that this condition
has happened by marking a 'D' for the faulty device in its status
output. This condition must also be checked by 'device_is_usable()' to
avoid the possibility of blocking LVM commands indefinitely due to an
attempt to read the blocked mirror for labels.
Until now, mirrors were avoided if the 'ignore_suspended_devices'
condition was set. This check seemed to suggest, "if we are concerned
about suspended devices, then let's ignore mirrors altogether just
in case". This is insufficient and doesn't solve any problems. All
devices that are suspended are already avoided if
'ignore_suspended_devices' is set; and if a mirror is blocking because
of an error condition, it will block the LVM command regardless of the
setting of that variable.
Rather than avoiding mirrors whenever 'ignore_suspended_devices' is
set, this patch causes mirrors to be avoided whenever they are blocking
due to an error. (As mentioned above, the case where a DM device is
suspended is already covered.) This solves a number of issues that weren't
handled before. For example, pvcreate (or any command that does a
pv_read or vg_read, which eventually call device_is_usable()) will be
protected from blocked mirrors regardless of how
'ignore_suspended_devices' is set. Additionally, a mirror that is
neither suspended nor blocking is /allowed/ to be read regardless
of how 'ignore_suspended_devices' is set. (The latter point being the
source of the fix for rhbz855398.)
The heading 'Copy%' is specific to PVMOVE volumes, but can be generalized
to apply to LVM mirrors also. It is a bit awkward to use 'Copy%' for
RAID 4/5/6, however - 'Sync%' would be more appropriate. This is why
RAID 4/5/6 have not displayed their sync status by any means available to
'lvs' yet.
Example (old):
[root@hayes-02 lvm2]# lvs vg
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Move Log Cpy%Sy Convert
lv vg -wi-a---- 1.00g
raid1 vg rwi-a-r-- 1.00g 100.00
raid4 vg rwi-a-r-- 1.01g
raid5 vg rwi-a-r-- 1.01g
raid6 vg rwi-a-r-- 1.01g
This patch changes the heading to 'Cpy%Sync' and allows RAID 4/5/6 to print
their sync percent in this field.
Example (new):

The 'copy_percent' function takes the 'extents_copied' field from each
segment in an LV to create the numerator for the ratio that is to
become the copy_percent. (Otherwise known as the 'sync' percent for
non-pvmove uses, like mirror LVs and RAID LVs.) This function safely
works on RAID - not just mirrors - so it is better to have it in
lv_manip.c rather than mirror.c.
There's a lot of different functions that do a lot of different things
in lv_manip.c, so I placed the function near a function in lv_manip.c
that it was close to in metadata-exported.h. Different placement in the
file or a different name for the function may be useful.
The first parameter needs to be present even if it isn't being
used, otherwise the one any only parameter we get is null
which causes PyArg_ParseTuple to seg. fault.

cookie_set variable found in the struct dm_task should be always
set to 1 after dm_task_set_cookie_call, even if udev_sync is disabled
as the cookie itself carries synchronization informations *as well as*
extra flags to control other aspects of udev support.
For example, one could disable the synchronization itself, but still
direct the libdm code to disable library fallback via
DM_UDEV_DISABLE_LIBRARY_FALLBACK flag. These extra flags still need
to be carried out!
A concrete example:
$ dmsetup create test --table "0 1 zero" --noudevsync
This disables synchronization with udev. As the --verifyudev option is
not used, we don't want to do any corrections. In other words, we
need DM_UDEV_DISABLE_LIBRARY_FALLBACK flag to be used. However,
with --noudevsync this was not the case - the flag was ignored!
This patch fixes the case when noudevsync is used but there are still
some extra flags passed within the cookie flag part. The synchronization
part of the cookie stays zero (which is ok as dm_udev_wait call on such a
cookie is simply a NOOP).
clvmd -d option parsing was not working properly.
clvmd -d 2 (with space) has been ignored because of
'::' used in getopt string, and as failsafe it's been used '1'.
Later this debug_arg has been ignored and debug_opt was used
instead which happend to have value '1'.

Use log_warn to print non-fatal warning messages.
Use of log_error would confuse checker for testing
whether proper error has been reported for some real error.
Instead of requiring users to create a liblvm object, and then calling
methods on it, the module acquires a liblvm handle as part of
initialization. This makes it impossible to instantiate a liblvm object
with a different systemdir, but there is an alternate envvar method for
that obscure use case.

I'm not sure what 'BUG's were being encountered when the restriction
to limit lvconvert-raid.sh tests to kernels > 3.2 was added. I do know
that there were BUG's that could be triggered when testing snapshots and
some of the earliest DM RAID available in the kernel. I've taken out
the 3.2 kernel restriction and added a dm-raid >= 1.2 restriction instead.
This will allow the test to run on patched production kernels.
A message is printed when the region_size of a RAID LV is adjusted
to allow for large (> ~1TB) LVs. The message wasn't very clear.
Hopefully, this is better.
Try to bring the lvmetad usage text and man page closer to the code.
There seem to be 3 useful ways to use -d with lvmetad at the moment:

Prior to the last release, -d, -dd and -ddd were supported.

blkdeactivate - utility to deactivate block devices
Traverses the tree of block devices and tries to deactivate them.
Currently, it supports device-mapper-based devices together with LVM.
See man/blkdeactivate.8 for more info.
It is targeted for use during shutdown to properly deactivate the
whole block device stack - systemd and init scripts are provided as
well. However, it might be used directly on command line too.
Please, see the commentary at the top of the blkdeactivate script
for dependencies and versions of other utilities required.
lvm2-activation-early.service (generated by activation generator) should

On each ioctl return, the device UUID is decoded from \xNN format.
If the UUID of the device being *removed* is malformed (e.g. it
hasn't been corrected before), just remove it without any error
as the UUID is not needed anymore - the device is gone anyway.
Otherwise a misleading error message would be issued just after
the removal:
# dmsetup remove test
The UUID "a b" should be mangled but it contains blacklisted characters.

Commit 3501f17fd0 enables a limited set
of metadata updates for partial LV/VGs when issuing lvchange or vgchange.
These tests verify those changes operate as intended.
A while back, the behavior of LVM changed from allowing metadata changes
when PVs were missing to not allowing changes. Until recently, this
change was tolerated by HA-LVM by forcing a 'vgreduce --removemissing'
before trying (again) to add tags to an LV and then activate it. LVM
mirroring requires that failed devices are removed anyway, so this was
largely harmless. However, RAID LVs do not require devices to be removed
from the array in order to be activated. In fact, in an HA-LVM
environment this would be very undesirable. Device failures in such an
environment can often be transient and it would be much better to restore
the device to the array than synchronize an entirely new device.
There are two methods that can be used to setup an HA-LVM environment:
"clvm" or "tagging". For RAID LVs, "clvm" is out of the question because
RAID LVs are not supported in clustered VGs - not even in an exclusively
activated manner. That leaves "tagging". HA-LVM uses tagging - coupled
with 'volume_list' - to ensure that only one machine can have an LV active
at a time. If updates are not allowed when a PV is missing, it is
impossible to add or remove tags to allow for activation. This removes
one of the most basic functionalities of HA-LVM - site redundancy. If
mirroring or RAID is used to replicate the storage in two data centers
and one of them goes down, a server and a storage device are lost. When
the service fails-over to the alternate site, the VG will be "partial".
Unable to add a tag to the VG/LV, the RAID device will be unable to
activate.
The solution is to allow vgchange and lvchange to alter the LVM metadata
for a limited set of options - --[add|del]tag included. The set of
allowable options are ones that do not cause changes to the DM kernel
target (like --resync would) or could alter the structure of the LV
(like allocation or conversion).
Compared to names, UUIDs can't be renamed once they are created
for a device. The 'mangle' command will just issue an error message
about a need for manual intervention in this case - reactivating the
device (remove + create) does the job as the defualt mangling mode
used is "auto" and that will assign a correct mangled form the UUID.
Just like we already have existing mangling support for
device-mapper names, we need exactly the same for device-mapper
UUIDs as their character whitelist is wider than what udev supports.
In case udev is used to create entries in /dev based on UUIDs
and these UUIDs contain characters not supported by udev,
we'll end up with incorrect /dev content for such devices.
So we need to mangle them to a form that is supported by udev.
The mangling used for UUIDs follows the mangling used for names
(that is already supported and used throughout). That means,
setting the name mangling mode via dm_set_name_mangling_mode
affects mangling used for UUIDs in exactly the same manner.
It would be useless to add a new and separate
dm_set_uuid_mangling_mode fn, we'll reuse existing interface.
(un)mangle_name -> (un)mangle_string
check_multiple_mangled_name_allowed -> check_multiple_mangled_string_allowed
Just for clarity as the same functions will be reused to (un)mangle dm UUIDs.
Separate original raid test and new raid10 test,
so the old could be tested on platforms without raid10 support.
Replace test-unfriendly `ls /dev/mapper` with dmsetup ls
The ExecStartPost with pvscan --cache in lvm2-lvmetad.service
is not needed now as this is called transparently within the
first LVM command that queries lvmetad.
Revert changes to origin lvcreate-large test and use separate
test scripts for raid - so they can be properly skipped when
kernel doesn't support raid targets.
For now this convertions is not supported, thus disabled.
The only supported conversion for now is to create mirrored thin pools
from mirrored devices.
It would be possible to activate a RAID LV exclusively in a cluster
volume group, but for now we do not allow RAID LVs to exist in a
clustered volume group at all. This has two components:
1) Do not allow RAID LVs to be created in a clustered VG
2) Do not allow changing a VG from single-machine to clustered
if there are RAID LVs present.
Update code for lvconvert.
Change the lvconvert user interface a bit - now we require 2 specifiers
--thinpool takes LV name for data device (and makes the name)
--poolmetadata takes LV name for metadata device.
Fix type in thin help text -z -> -Z.
Supported is also new flag --discards for thinpools.
Patch clears the flag if thin pool is stacked over mirror.
Since thin pool could be used to stack device over mirrors,
it needs resume properly i.e. mirrors with corelog which are otherwise
unconditionally skipped (for pvmove functionality).
MD's bitmaps can handle 2^21 regions at most. The RAID code has always
used a region_size of 1024 sectors. That means the size of a RAID LV was
limited to 1TiB. (The user can adjust the region_size when creating a
RAID LV, which can affect the maximum size.) Thus, creating, extending or
converting to a RAID LV greater than 1TiB would result in a failure to
load the new device-mapper table.
Again, the size of the RAID LV is not limited by how much space is allocated
for the metadata area, but by the limitations of the MD bitmap. Therefore,
we must adjust the 'region_size' to ensure that the number of regions does
not exceed the limit. I've added code to do this when extending a RAID LV
(which covers 'create' and 'extend' operations) and when up-converting -
specifically from linear to RAID1.
We were using daemon_send_simple until now, but it is no longer adequate, since
we need to manipulate requests in a generic way (adding a validity token to each
request), and the tree-based request interface is much more suitable for this.
- move common dm_config_tree manipulation functions from lvmetad-core to
daemon-shared
- add config-tree-based request manipulation APIs to daemon-client
- factor out _v (va_list) variants of most variadic functions in libdaemon
When reformatting the 'lvchange_resync' code in commit
05131f5853, a '!' should have been removed
from the condition that checks for the LV_NOTSYNCED flag on a corelog
mirror LV. The presence of this '!' caused the LV_NOTSYNCED flag to be
cleared when it wasn't present and left when it was present.
It is not allowed to add images to a 'mirror' or 'raid1' LV if the
LV_NOTSYNCED flag is set. We add some up-convert tests to ensure this
behavior is being enforced and that the LV_NOTSYNCED flag is being
properly cleared by 'lvchange --resync'.
(Not updating WHATS_NEW because this is intrarelease.)
Don't try to issue discards to a missing PV to avoid segfault.
Prevent lvremove from removing LVs that have any part missing.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/857554
Failing to clear the LV_NOTSYNCED flag when converting a RAID1 LV to
linear can result in the flag being present after an upconvert - even
if the sync is performed when upconverting.
Mirrors do not allow upconverting if the LV has been created with --nosync.
We will enforce the same rule for RAID1. It isn't hugely critical, since
the portions that have been written will be copied over to the new device
identically from either of the existing images. However, the unwritten
sections may be different, causing the added image to be a hybrid of the
existing images.
Also, we are disallowing the addition of new images to a RAID1 LV that has
not completed the initial sync. This may be different from mirroring, but
that is due to the fact that the 'mirror' segment type "stacks" when adding
a new image and RAID1 does not. RAID1 will rebuild a newly added image
"inline" from the existant images, so they should be in-sync.
The "fedora-wait-storage.service" that the "lvm2-activation.service"
had as a dependency (which was fedora-specific solution anyway)
is obsolete now as this unit called "modprobe scsi_wait_scan"
which is not used anymore.
The "fedora-wait-storage.service" had "systemd-udev-settle" as
its dependency, so let's depend on this one directly now,
bypassing the out-dated "fedora-wait-storage.service".
Using 'activation/auto_activation_volume_list = [ "vg/lvol1" ]'.
Before this patch:

lvol0 vg -wi----- 4.00m
lvol1 vg -wi-a--- 4.00m
lvol2 vg -wi-a--- 4.00m
lvol3 vg -wi-a--- 4.00m
(vg/lvol1 activated as it passes the list and all subsequent volumes too - wrong!)
With this patch:
1 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg" now active
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Move Log Copy% Convert
lvol0 vg -wi----- 4.00m
lvol1 vg -wi-a--- 4.00m
lvol2 vg -wi----- 4.00m
lvol3 vg -wi----- 4.00m
(only vg/lvol1 activated as it passes the list and no other - correct!)
Issuing a 'lvchange --resync <VG>/<RAID_LV>' had no effect. This is
because the code to handle RAID LVs was not present. This patch adds
the code that will clear the metadata areas of RAID LVs - causing them
to resync upon activation.
When an LV is to be resynced, the metadata areas are cleared and the
LV is reactivated. This is true for mirroring and will also be true
for RAID LVs. We restructure the code in lvchange_resync() so that we
keep all the common steps necessary (validation of ability to resync,
deactivation, activation of meta/log devices, clearing of those devices,
etc) and place the code that will be divergent in separate functions:
detach_metadata_devices()
attach_metadata_devices()
The common steps will be processed on lists of metadata devices. Before
RAID capability is added, this will simply be the mirror log device (if
found).
This patch lays the ground-work for adding resync of RAID LVs.
By changing the conditional for resyncing mirrors with core-logs a
bit, we can short-circuit the rest of the function for that case
and reduce the amount of indenting in the rest of the function.
This cleanup will simplify future patches aimed at properly handling
the resync of RAID LVs.
We cannot add images to a RAID array while it is not in-sync. The
kernel will simply reject the table, saying:
'rebuild' specified while array is not in-sync
Now we check to ensure the LV is in-sync before attempting image
additions.
It is necessary when creating a RAID LV to clear the new metadata areas.
Failure to do so could result in a prepopulated bitmap that would cause
the new array to skip syncing portions of the array. It is a requirement
that the metadata LVs be activated and cleared in the process of creating.
However in test mode, this requirement should be lifted - no new LVs should
be created or written to.
When printing a message for the user and the lv_segment pointer is available,
use segtype->ops->name() instead of segtype->name. This gives a better
user-readable name for the segment. This is especially true for the
'striped' segment type, which prints "linear" if there is an area_count of
one.
The 'test' subdir needs to be processed before 'tools' subdir
for distclean as all the cmd names are read from 'tools/.commands'
file. Otherwise we'd end up with dangling symlinks in 'tools' subdir.
If we were defining a section (which is a node without a value) and
the value was created automatically on dm_config_create_node call,
we were wasting resources as the next step after creating the config
node itself was assigning NULL for the node's value.
The dm_config_node_create + dm_config_create_value sequence should be
used instead for settings and dm_config_node_create alone for sections.
The majority of the code already used the correct sequence. Though
with dm_config_node_create fn creating the value as well, the pool
memory was being trashed this way.
This patch removes the node value initialization on dm_config_create_node
fn call and keeps it for the direct dm_config_create_value fn call.
We should check whether the fd is opened before trying to reopen it.
For example, the stdin is closed in test/lib/harness.c causing the
test suite to fail.
Fix setvbuf code by closing and reopening stream before changing buffer.
But we need to review what this code is doing embedded inside a library
function rather than the simpler original form being run independently
at the top of main() by tools that need it.
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.
This patch adds support for RAID10. It is not the default at this
stage. The user needs to specify '--type raid10' if they would like
RAID10 instead of stacked mirror over stripe.
Adding couple INTERNAL_ERROR reports for unwanted parameters:
Ensure the 'top' metadata node cannot be NULL for lvmetad.

Report missing read_ahead for _lv_read_ahead_single().
Check for report handler in dm_report_object().
Check missing VG in _vgreduce_single().
- logging is not controlled by "levels" but by "types"; types are
independent of each other... implementation of the usual "log level"
user-level semantics can be simply done on top; the immediate
application is enabling/disabling wire traffic logging independently
of other debug data, since the former is rather bulky and can easily
obscure almost everything else
- all logs go to "outlets", of which we currently have 2: syslog and
stderr; which "types" go to which "outlets" is entirely configurable
Always store discard setting in LV metadata. (Note that lvcreate_params
doesn't yet use --discard to set the initial value.)
Remove undocumented env var LVM_THIN_VERSION_MIN that has no use on a
live system.
Change verbose 'feature not found' messages to debug.
Use discard_str for string value of discard.
I think it's better not to abbreviate human-readable fields like
'discard' to a single character. Users can truncate it to the
first character themselves if they wish.
It's confusing to use the variable name discard for different things in
different places - use discard_str when it's a string not the enum.
Respond with "unknown" rather than a NULL pointer if there's an
internal error and the discard value is invalid.
Don't accept 'no_passdown' or 'no-passdown' variants in the LVM
metadata: this is written by the program so should only ever contain
"nopassdown" and should be validated strictly against that.
Remove the limit for major and minor number arguments used while specifying
persistent numbers via -My --major <major> --minor <minor> option which
was set to 255 before. Follow the kernel limit instead which is 12 bits
for major and 20 bits for minor number (kernel >= 2.6 and LVM formats
that does not have FMT_RESTRICTED_LVIDS - so still keep the old limit
of 255 for lvm1 format).
The lvm2 activation generator generates systemd units conditionally
based on the global/use_lvmetad lvm.conf setting.
If use_lvmetad=0, the lvm2-activation-early.service and lvm2-activation.service
units will be generated. These units are responsible for direct volume activation
by calling "vgchange -aay --sysinit" (this is actually the original on-boot
activation as it was used before). If use_lvmetad=1, no units will be generated
as we're relying on autoactivation.
Important thing to note is that the lvm2-activation units normally bring
in the udev-settle ("storage-wait") service that waits for udev to settle
(with block devices). We don't need this if lvmetad is used in conjunction
with autoactivation feature... but systemd units can't be enabled or disabled
(or dependencies added/removed) dynamically based on external configuration.
Therefore, we need the unit generator which adds support for such situations:
the units as a whole either exist or not based on the external configuration.
Allowing people to add devices to a VG that has PVs missing helps
people avoid the inability to repair RAID LVs in certain cases.
For example, if a user creates a RAID 4/5/6 LV using all of the
available devices in a VG, there will be no spare devices to
repair the LV with if a device should fail. Further, because the
VG is missing a device, new devices cannot be added to allow the
repair. If 'vgreduce --removemissing' were attempted, the
"MISSING" PV could not be removed without also destroying the RAID
LV.
Allowing vgextend to operate solves the circular dependency.
When the PV is added by a vgextend operation, the sequence number is
incremented and the 'MISSING' flag is put on the PVs which are missing.
Monitoring is handled using "vgchange --monitor" call. Ensure that lvmetad is up
and running at the time of this call to prevent any fallback to direct scan
within the vgchange. The same applies for shutdown sequence but the other way
round - switch monitoring off and lvmetad afterwards.
Commit 8767435ef8 allowed RAID 4/5/6
LV to be extended properly, but introduced a regression in device
replacement - a critical component of fault tolerance.
When only 1 or 2 drives are being replaced, the 'area_count' needed
can be equal to the parity_count. The 'area_multiple' for RAID 4/5/6
was computed as 'area_count - parity_devs', which could result in
'area_multiple' being 0. This would ultimately lead to a division by
zero error. Therefore, in calc_area_multiple, it is important to take
into account the number of areas that are being requested - just as
we already do in _alloc_init.
A regression introduced in 2.02.89 (11e520256b)
caused the lvm dumpconfig <node> to print out
the node as well as its subsequent siblings.
The information about "only_one" mode got lost.
Before this patch (just an example node):
# lvm dumpconfig global/use_lvmetad
use_lvmetad=1
thin_check_executable="/usr/sbin/thin_check"
thin_check_options="-q"
(...all nodes to the end of the section)
With this patch applied:
# lvm dumpconfig global/use_lvmetad
use_lvmetad=1
If a daemon (like lvmetad that is using common daemon-server code)
received a kill signal that was supposed to shut the daemon down,
a spurious message was issued: "Failed to handle a client connection".
This happened if the kill signal came just in the middle of waiting
for a client request in "select" - the request that was supposed to
be handled was blank at that moment of course.
Update lvchange to allow change of 'zero' flag for thinpool.
Add support for changing discard handling.
N.B. from/to ignore could be only changed for inactive pool.
Add arg support for discard.
Add discard ignore, nopassdown, passdown (=default) support.
Flags could be set per pool.
lvcreate [--discard {ignore|no_passdown|passdown}] vg/thinlv
When --sysinit -a ay is used with vg/lvchange and lvmetad is up and running,
we should skip manual activation as that would be a useless step - all volumes
are autoactivated once all the PVs for a VG are present.
If lvmetad is not active at the time of the vgchange --sysinit -a ay
call, the activation proceeds in standard 'manual' way.
This way, we can still have vg/lvchange --sysinit -a ay called
unconditionally in system initialization scripts no matter if lvmetad
is used or not.
Reducing a RAID 4/5/6 LV or extending it with a different number of
stripes is still not implemented. This patch covers the "simple" case
where the LV is extended with the same number of stripes as the orginal.
In process_each_pv() if we haven't yet scanned and the PV appears
to be an orphan, we must scan the other PVs looking for mdas that
reference it to find out what VG it is in.
1. If the PV has no mdas, we must scan.
2. If the PV has an mda that is not ignored we do not need to scan.
3. If the PV has an mda that is ignored, we do need to scan.
This patch fixes case 3.

Change 'lv_passes_volumes_filter' fn back to static as it's not

The clmvd init script called "vgchange -aly" before to activate
all VGs in cluster environment. This activated all VGs, no matter
if it was clustered or not.
Auto activation for clustered VGs is not supported yet so the behaviour
of -aay is still the same as before for clustered VGs. However, for
non-clustered VGs, we need to check with the activation/auto_activation_volume_list
whether the VG/LV should be activated on boot or not.
One can use "lvcreate --aay" to have the newly created volume
activated or not activated based on the activation/auto_activation_volume_list
this way.
Note: -Z/--zero is not compatible with -aay, zeroing is not used in this case!
When using lvcreate -aay, a default warning message is also issued that zeroing
is not done.
Define auto_activation_handler that activates VGs/LVs automatically
based on the activation/auto_activation_volume_list (activating all
volumes by default if the list is not defined).
The autoactivation is done within the pvscan call in 69-dm-lvmetad.rules
that watches for udev events (device appearance/removal).
For now, this works for non-clustered and complete VGs only.
Normally, the 'vgchange -ay' activates all volume groups (that pass
the activation/volume_list filter if set).
This call can appear in two scenarios:
- system boot (so activation within a script in general)
- manual call on command line (so activaton on user's direct request)
For the former one, we would like to select which VGs should be actually
activated. One can define the list of VGs directly to do that. But that
would require the same list to be provided in all the scripts.
The 'vgchange -aay' will check for the activation/auto_activation_volume_list
in adition and it will activate only those VGs/LVs that pass this
filter (assuming all to be activated if the list is not defined - the
same logic we already have for activation/volume_list).
Init/boot scripts should use this form of activation primarily
(which, anyway, becomes only a fallback now with autoactivation done
on PV appearance in tandem with lvmetad in place).
Define an 'activation_handler' that gets called automatically on
PV appearance/disappearance while processing the lvmetad_pv_found
and lvmetad_pv_gone functions that are supposed to update the
lvmetad state based on PV availability state. For now, the actual
support is for PV appearance only, leaving room for PV disappearance
support as well (which is a more complex problem to solve as this
needs to count with possible device stack).
Add a new activation change mode - CHANGE_AAY exposed as
'--activate ay/-aay' argument ('activate automatically').
Factor out the vgchange activation functionality for use in other
tools (like pvscan...).
We're refererring to 'activation' all over the code and we're talking
about 'LVs being activated' all the time so let's use 'activation/activate'
everywhere for clarity and consistency (still providing the old
'available' keyword as a synonym for backward compatibility with
existing environments).
Update release_lv_segment_area not to discard any PV extents,
as it also gets used when moving extents between LVs.
Instead, call a new function release_and_discard_lv_segment_area() in
the two places where data should be discarded - lv_reduce() and
remove_mirrors_from_segments().
Remove executable path detection in udev rules and use sbindir that
is configured, but still provide the original functionality by means
of 'configure --enable-udev-rule-exec-detection'.
Normally, the exec path for the tools called in udev rules should
not differ from the sbindir used, however, there are cases this is
necessary. For example different environments could be assembled
in a way that these path differ for some reason (distribution installer,
initrd ...).
This functionality is kept for compatibility only. Any environment
moving the binaries around and using different paths should be fixed
eventually!
There were several hard-coded values for run directory around the code.
Also, some tools are DM specific only, others are LVM specific and there
was no distinction made here before. With this patch applied, we have
this cleaned up a bit (subsystem in brackets, defaults in parentheses):
[common] configurable PID_DIR (/var/run)
lvm [lvm] configurable RUN_DIR (/var/run/lvm)
configurable locking dir (/var/lock/lvm)
clvmd [lvm] configurable pid file (PID_DIR/clvmd.pid)
socket (RUN_DIR/clvmd.sock)
lvmetad [lvm] configurable pid file (PID_DIR/lvmetad.pid)
socket (RUN_DIR/lvmetad.socket)
dm [dm] configurable DM_RUN_DIR (/var/run)
cmirrord [dm] configurable pid file (PID_DIR/cmirrord.pid)
dmeventd [dm] configurable pid file (PID_DIR/dmeventd.pid)
server fifo (DM_RUN_DIR/dmeventd-server)
client fifo (DM_RUN_DIR/dmeventd-client)
The changes briefly:
- added configure --with-default-pid-dir
- added configure --with-default-dm-run-dir
- added configure --with-lvmetad-pidfile
- by default, using one common pid directory for everything
(only lvmetad was not following this before)
There's no need to have the device open RW while obtaining the readahead value.
The RW open used before caused the CHANGE udev event to be generated if the
WATCH udev rule was set for the underlying device (and that is normally the
case both for non-dm and dm devices by default).
This did not cause any problems before since we were not interested in
*underlying* devices. However, with upcoming changes (autoactivation), we're
watching for events on underlying devices marked as PVs and such a spurious
event could cause the autoactivation code to be triggered. So when trying
to deactivate the volume, we could end up with immediate activation just after
that because of the CHANGE event originated in the WATCH udev rule since the
underlying device was open RW during the deactivation process.
Though maybe a better solution would be to completely filter such spurious
events out of the autoactivation process somehow, it's still useful if there
are as least spurious events generated as possible in the system itself.
If the user would set bigger reserved stack size then what
is allowed in resources (ulimit -s), then he would get coredump
So avoid coredump and ignore creation of such large stack size
(lvm should work properly, with just 64KB, so the option could
be eliminated).
If the user specifies number in the range of [4G/1024, 4G>,
the used value would wrap around (32bit math).
So keep the math 64bit.
Note, using such large lvm.conf values is pointless with lvm2.
