The 69-dm-lvm-metad.rules udev rule has been removed from
the initrd, because it's been dropped by recent upstream
lvm versions, and it never performed any primary function
within the initrd. But, it did have the job of setting
LVM_MD_PV_ACTIVATED=1 for active md devices used by PVs.
That step needs to be restored, and is now included in
64-lvm.rules.
Change the command listing LVs from lvscan to lvs, and list
only the LV names that are being activated. Before attempting
to activate an LV, check that that LV name appears in the
lvs command output. This avoids wasting time running an
lvchange command that we know will fail.
Previously, the lvm device filter generated by dracut
would not be used if any lvm.conf file existed in the
initrd. Change this so that the generated filter will
be used when the included lvm.conf has no filter set.
Drop checking for options that have been available for
at least ten years. This simplifies code maintenance.
Add the new --nohints option (when available) to disable
the use of hints which is not useful during startup.
The --partial option will activate a linear (or other) LV
without segments for missing devices, which is unlikely to
be useful. The intention was to activate raid LVs in a useful
form while missing devices, which is specified with the option
--activationmode degraded.
This udev rule runs pvscan to autoactivate VGs, which dracut
does not want to do, and previously disabled by editing the
rule file and commenting out lines.
This also stops /dev/disk/by-id/lvm-pv-uuid-* symlinks from
being created in the initrd.
Remove support for modifying use_lvmetad and locking_type
settings in lvm.conf for lvm versions 2.2.*. Recent lvm
versions (2.3.*) do not include lvmetad or locking_type.
This cleanup simplifies code maintenance.
To use the lvm module with older versions (2.2), a user
would need to ensure that lvmetad settings are disabled
in the initrd's lvm.conf rather than relying on the lvm
dracut mode to modify their lvm.conf.
For the shell scripts, new environment variables were introduced.
dracutsysrootdir is the root directory, file existence checks use it.
DRACUT_LDCONFIG can override ldconfig with a different one that works
on the sysroot with foreign binaries.
DRACUT_LDD can override ldd with a different one that works
with foreign binaries.
DRACUT_TESTBIN can override /bin/sh. A cross-compiled sysroot
may use symlinks that are valid only when running on the target
so a real file must be provided that exist in the sysroot.
DRACUT_INSTALL now supports debugging dracut-install in itself
when run by dracut but without debugging the dracut scripts.
E.g. DRACUT_INSTALL="valgrind dracut-install or
DRACUT_INSTALL="dracut-install --debug".
DRACUT_COMPRESS_BZIP2, DRACUT_COMPRESS_LBZIP2, DRACUT_COMPRESS_LZMA,
DRACUT_COMPRESS_XZ, DRACUT_COMPRESS_GZIP, DRACUT_COMPRESS_PIGZ,
DRACUT_COMPRESS_LZOP, DRACUT_COMPRESS_ZSTD, DRACUT_COMPRESS_LZ4,
DRACUT_COMPRESS_CAT: All of the compression utilities may be
overridden, to support the native binaries in non-standard places.
DRACUT_ARCH overrides "uname -m".
SYSTEMD_VERSION overrides "systemd --version".
The dracut-install utility was overhauled to support sysroot via
a new option -r and fixes for clang-analyze. It supports
cross-compiler-ldd from
https://gist.github.com/jerome-pouiller/c403786c1394f53f44a3b61214489e6f
DRACUT_INSTALL_PATH was introduced so dracut-install can work with
a different PATH. In a cross-compiled environment (e.g. Yocto), PATH
points to natively built binaries that are not in the host's /bin,
/usr/bin, etc. dracut-install still needs plain /bin and /usr/bin
that are relative to the cross-compiled sysroot.
The hashmap pool allocate_tile/deallocate_tile code was removed
because clang-analyze showed errors in it. hashmap_copy was removed
because it wasn't used and clang-analyze showed errors in it.
DRACUT_INSTALL_LOG_TARGET and DRACUT_INSTALL_LOG_LEVEL were
introduced so dracut-install can use different settings from
DRACUT_LOG_TARGET and DRACUT_LOG_LEVEL.

Starting with the 0.7.7 release of the multipath tools, the multipath
udev rules always set a value in ENV{DM_MULTIPATH_DEVICE_PATH} for any
device that multipath scans. A value of 0 means that the device is not
claimed by multipath, and a value of 1 means that it is. Because of
this, udev rules that check ENV{DM_MULTIPATH_DEVICE_PATH}=="?*" will
always return True, and act as if every scanned device is claimed by
multipath. Checking ENV{DM_MULTIPATH_DEVICE_PATH}=="1" will work
correctly for both the old and new versions of the multipath tools.
The --ignoreactivationskip/-K switch was added to LVM2 in 2.02.99
(July 2013) and is used to control the activation of volumes with
the activation skip flag set: without -K these volumes will be
ignored when 'lvchange -ay $LV' is issued.
This prevents an LVM2 thin-privisioned snapshot from being used
as the root device when booting with rd.lvm.lv=vg/lv since the
activation skip flag is set for these snapshots by default (the
legacy non-thinp snapshots do not set this flag and can already
be activated and used as a root device by specifying appropriate
values for rd.lvm.lv).
This is only used in the rd.lvm.lv case since in that situation
we are activating one or more named LVs specified by the user:
the flag is not given when calling 'vgchange' since this may
cause many unwanted volumes to be activated during early user
space. Users wishing to use a specific snapshot volume should
specify it with 'rd.lvm.lv'.

Once lvm2 starts using /run (bug 742554), it should be no longer
necessary to disable file-based locking in the vgchange call in
fedora-storage-init.
Removing '--sysinit' will make it safe to call LVM operations
concurrently from other units.
The --sysinit is a compound option consisting of:
-> --ignorelockingfailure - not needed anymore, the /run/lock/lvm is
available rw soon in boot process
-> --ignoremonitoring - not needed since /run is available, this would
require the dm-event.service to be run before
fedora-storage-init.service (and new lvm2-activation.service when
deployed). But that's a one line change - I'll have a look whether it
plays well with other services and if yes, I'll commit the change. N.B.:
This has a consequence that all volumes activated on vgchange -ay will
be monitored at the same time they're activated (which is a plus I
think). The lvm2-monitor will just grab all the other volumes not
activated at the time of the boot's vgchange -ay call. But that's not an
issue (for already monitored volumes, calling vgchange --monitor y will
just be a NOOP).
-> --poll n - not needed, we can run the polldaemon as the /run is
available and rw (in case there's unfinished merge or mirror sync from
previous system run, the poll-daemon will be triggered at boot now).
Actually, the polldaemon should be triggered as a service like dmeventd
is, not forked off from the LVM command itself, like from vgchange in
this case - we still need to change this - there's a bug open for this
request already (bug #814857). However, we don't have this feature ready
yet so I need to check whether this is OK with the early boot process
with the current state.
This reverts commit cfa365a32d.
The logic in commit cfa365a was added to prevent (odl) lvms from
activating snapshots which should not be activated.
Newer lvms however do this automatically (not enabling an LV if the
the 'k' attribute set), thus we can revert the previous commit.
This aligns other places piping cmdline() output to cmdline.d files
with the earlier fix for 95rootfs-block.

Before modifying 69-dm-lvm-metad.rules, we should check for the
existance first. Otherwise this results in error messages on
distributions (debian), which do not ship these rules.
--hostonly-cmdline:
Store kernel command line arguments needed in the initramfs
--no-hostonly-cmdline:
Do not store kernel command line arguments needed in the initramfs
Add new functions require_binaries() and require_any_binary() to be used
in the check() section of module-setup.sh.
These functions print a warning line telling the user, which binary is
missing for the specific dracut module.
This unifies the way of checking for binaries and makes the life of an
initramfs creator easier, if he wants to find out why a specific dracut
module is not included in the initramfs.
The lvmetad daemon is not yet running in initramfs so there's no
need to run pvscan (or instantiate any lvm2-pvscan systemd service).
If pvscan was called in this case (either directly or via systemd
instantiated service), it would fail because there's no lvmetad
daemon to update. This could cause confusion, especially in systemd
instantiated service which is run only once!
The global var setting was happening in a pipe and did not have an
effect.
Use <<<$() instead.
< <() cannot be used, because dracut is called in chroot's environments,
where /dev/fd does not point to /proc/self/fd, but bash wants
/dev/fd/<num> for this construct.
The 69-dm-lvm-metad.rules set some udev env. variables that makes it
possible to detect the right time to activate LVM on MD. The MD is very
similar to DM during activation - it's usable only after proper device
activation - the CHANGE event. We need to make a difference between a
CHANGE event that comes from this activation and CHANGE event that is
the outcome of the WATCH udev rule (otherwise we'd end up with LVM
activation done on each CHANGE event - which is wrong).
So we need the udev databse to be persistent during pivot to root fs
even for MD devices.
