LVM duplicate resolution * will then kick in and keep the md dev around to use and ignore * the components. * * It is better to exclude the components as early as possible during * lvm processing, ideally before lvm even looks for labels on the * components, so that duplicate resolution can be avoided. There are * a number of ways that md components can be excluded earlier than * the duplicate resolution phase: * * - When external_device_info_source="udev", lvm discovers a device is * an md component by asking udev during the initial filtering phase. * However, lvm's default is to not use udev for this. The * alternative is "native" detection in which lvm tries to detect * md components itself. * * - When using native detection, lvm's md filter looks for the md * superblock at the start of devices. It will see the md superblock * on the components, exclude them in the md filter, and avoid * handling them later in duplicate resolution. * * - When using native detection, lvm's md filter will not detect * components when the md device has an older superblock version that * places the superblock at the end of the device. This case will * fall back to duplicate resolution to exclude components. * * A variation of the description above occurs for lvm commands that * intend to create new PVs on devices (pvcreate, vgcreate, vgextend). * For these commands, the native md filter also reads the end of all * devices to check for the odd md superblocks. * * (The reason that external_device_info_source is not set to udev by * default is that there have be issues with udev not being promptly * or reliably updated about md state changes, causing the udev info * that lvm uses to be occasionally wrong.) */ /* * Returns 0 if: * the device is an md component and it should be ignored. * * Returns 1 if: * the device is not md component and should not be ignored. * * The actual md device will pass this filter and should be used, * it is the md component devices that we are trying to exclude * that will not pass. */ static int _passes_md_filter(struct device *dev, int full) { int ret; /* * When md_component_dectection=0, don't even try to skip md * components. */ if (!md_filtering()) return 1; ret = dev_is_md(dev, NULL, full); if (ret == -EAGAIN) { /* let pass, call again after scan */ dev->flags |= DEV_FILTER_AFTER_SCAN; log_debug_devs("filter md deferred %s", dev_name(dev)); return 1; } if (ret == 0) return 1; if (ret == 1) { if (dev->ext.src == DEV_EXT_NONE) log_debug_devs(MSG_SKIPPING, dev_name(dev)); else log_debug_devs(MSG_SKIPPING " [%s:%p]", dev_name(dev), dev_ext_name(dev), dev->ext.handle); return 0; } if (ret < 0) { log_debug_devs("%s: Skipping: error in md component detection", dev_name(dev)); return 0; } return 1; } static int _passes_md_filter_lite(struct dev_filter *f __attribute__((unused)), struct device *dev) { return _passes_md_filter(dev, 0); } static int _passes_md_filter_full(struct dev_filter *f __attribute__((unused)), struct device *dev) { return _passes_md_filter(dev, 1); } static void _destroy(struct dev_filter *f) { if (f->use_count) log_error(INTERNAL_ERROR "Destroying md filter while in use %u times.", f->use_count); free(f); } struct dev_filter *md_filter_create(struct cmd_context *cmd, struct dev_types *dt) { struct dev_filter *f; if (!(f = zalloc(sizeof(*f)))) { log_error("md filter allocation failed"); return NULL; } /* * FIXME: for commands that want a full md check (pvcreate, vgcreate, * vgextend), we do an extra read at the end of every device that the * filter looks at.
