The dm_stats_delete_region() call removes a region from the bound
device, and, if the region is grouped, from the group leader
group descriptor stored in aux_data.
To do this requires a listed handle: previous versions of the
library do not since no dependencies exist between regions without
grouping.
This leads to strange behaviour when a command built against an old
version of the library is used with one supporting groups. Deleting
a region with dmstats succeeds, but logs errors:
# dmstats list
Name RgID RgSta RgSiz #Areas ArSize ProgID
vg_hex-root 0 0 1.00g 1 1.00g dmstats
vg_hex-root 1 1.00g 1.00g 1 1.00g dmstats
vg_hex-root 2 2.00g 1.00g 1 1.00g dmstats
# dmstats delete --regionid 2 vg_hex/root
Region ID 2 does not exist
Could not delete statistics region.
Command failed
# dmstats list
Name RgID RgSta RgSiz #Areas ArSize ProgID
vg_hex-root 0 0 1.00g 1 1.00g dmstats
vg_hex-root 1 1.00g 1.00g 1 1.00g dmstats
This happens because the call to dm_stats_delete_region() is inside
a dm_stats_walk_*() iterator: upon entry to the call, the iterator
is at its end conditions and about to terminate. Due to the call to
dm_stats_list() inside the function, it returns with an iterator at
the beginning of a walk and performs a further iteration before
exiting. This final loop makes a further attempt to delete the
(already deleted) region, leading to the confusing error messages.
libdm: fix stats walk compatibility with older dmsetup
The current dmsetup.c handles DR_STATS and DR_STATS_META reports
separately in _display_info_cols(), meaning that the stats walk
functions are never called for these report types.
Versions before v2.02.159 have a loop using dm_stats_walk_do() and
dm_stats_walk_while(), that executes once for non-stats reports,
and once per region, or area, for DR_STATS/DR_STATS_META reports.
This older behaviour relies on the documented behaviour that the
walk functions will accept a NULL pointer as the struct dm_stats*
argument.
This was broken by commit f1f2df7b: the NULL test on dms and
dms->regions were incorrectly moved from the dm_stats_walk_end()
wrapper to the internal '_stats_walk_end()' helper.
Since the pointer is dereferenced in between these points, using
an older dmsetup with current libdm results in a segfault when
running a non-stats report:
# dmsetup info -c vg00/lvol0
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Restore the NULL checks to the wrapper function as intended.

systemd: disable service start rate limiting for lvm2-pvscan@.service
We shouldn't be losing pvscans just because of the fact that the

still keep the device in cache even it's already gone).

toolcontext: read all configuration sources when checking config values in lvm2-activation-generator through lighweight toolcontext handler
We added lightweight toolcontext handle to avoid useless initialization
of some parts of the context and also to avoid problems when using the
handle very soon at system boot, like in lvm2-activation-generator
through lvm2app interface. However, we missed reading all the other
config sources like lvmlocal.conf as well as any tag config - we need to
read these too to get the final config value which may be overriden in
any of these additional config sources.
Currently, we use this lightweight toolcontext handle to read
global/use_lvmetad and global/use_lvmpolld config values in
lvm2-activation-generator using lvm2app interface (lvm_config_find_bool
lvm2app function).
tests: fix raid rebuild tests to work with older target versions
Pre 1.9 dm-raid targets status output was racy, which caused
the device status chars to be unreliable _during_ synchronization.
This shows paritcularly with tiny test devices used.
Enhance lvchange-rebuild-raid.sh to not check status
chars _during_ synchronization. Just check afterwards.
dmsetup: ensure --filemap histogram bounds are freed
Make sure that the temporary dm_histogram used for the bounds
argument is freed in the case that the user provided a --bounds
argument on the command line.
The dm-raid target now rejects device rebuild requests during ongoing
resynchronization thus causing 'lvconvert --repair ...' to fail with
a kernel error message. This regresses with respect to failing automatic
repair via the dmeventd RAID plugin in case raid_fault_policy="allocate"
is configured in lvm.conf as well.
Previously allowing such repair request required cancelling the
resynchronization of any still accessible DataLVs, hence reasoning
potential data loss.
Patch allows the resynchronization of still accessible DataLVs to
finish up by rejecting any 'lvconvert --repair ...'.
It enhances the dmeventd RAID plugin to be able to automatically repair
by postponing the repair after synchronization ended.
More tests are added to lvconvert-rebuild-raid.sh to cover single
and multiple DataLV failure cases for the different RAID levels.

Because of the different code paths we need to test job handling with

sure that their connection time out is also infinite. Otherwise, if the client
times out the service side hangs any new dbus calls until the job
that is in progress completes. Not sure why this behavior is occuring
at this time, but it appears a limitation/bug of the dbus-python library.

lvmlockd: fix metadata validation when rescanning VG
When rescanning a VG from disk, the metadata read from
each PV was compared as a sanity check. The comparison
is done by exporting the vg metadata from each dev to
a config tree, and then comparing the config trees.
The function to create the config tree inserts
extraneous information along with the actual VG metadata.
This extra info includes creation_time. The config
trees for two devs can easily be created one second
apart in which case the different creation_times would
cause the metadata comparison to fail. The fix is to
exclude the extraneous info from the metadata comparison.
Use issue_discard to lower memory demands on discardable test devices
Use large devices directly through prepare_pvs
I'm still observing more then 0.5G of data usage through.
Particullary:
'lvcreate' followed by 'lvconvert' (which doesn't yet support --nosync
option) is quite demanging, and resume returns quite 'late' when
a lot of data has been already written on PV.
Reinstantiate reporting of metadata percent usage for cache volumes.
Also show the same percentage with hidden cache-pool LV.
This regression was caused by optimization for a single-ioctl in
2.02.155.
cache: scrubbing for cache origin LV - Bug 1169495
Allow RAID scrubbing on cache origin sub-LV
This patch adds the ability to perform RAID scrubbing on the cache
origin sub-LV (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1169495). Cache origin
operations are restricted to non-clustered RAID LVs until there can
be further testing in a cluster (even for exclusive activation).
User can either specify directly _corig LV
or he can specify cache LV and operation --syncation is
passed ONLY to _corig LV.
If users wants to manipulation with cache-pool devices - he
needs to specify this object name.

This symlink is set by default basic udev rules provided by udev directly.
We'll use this as an alternative for the check that initial udev

lvmetad: use udev to ignore multipath components during scan
When scanning devs to populate lvmetad during system startup,
filter-mpath with native sysfs multipath component detection
may not detect that a dev is multipath component. This is
because the multipath devices may not be set up yet.
Because of this, pvscan will scan multipath components during
startup, will see them as duplicate PVs, and will disable
lvmetad. This will leave lvmetad disabled on systems using
multipath, unless something or someone runs pvscan --cache
to rescan.
To avoid this problem, the code that is scanning devices to
populate lvmetad will now check the udev db to see if a
dev is a multipath component that should be skipped.
(This may not be perfect due to inherent udev races, but will
cover most cases and will be at least as good as it's ever
been.)
