RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2016:0964 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE lvm2 bug fix and enhancement update 2016-05-10 22:57:40 UTC

Description Jonathan Earl Brassow 2012-07-30 22:19:15 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #813954 +++

Several bugs that are attributed to mirroring or other LVM components boil down to issues with 'dm_task_run'.  These 'dm_task_run' errors prop-up intermittently and make the bugs difficult to reproduce.  Often, the way to reproduce is loop over a particular operation until /something/ is hit.

This bug is going to be used to encapsulate the various RHEL5 bugs that have popped up due to 'dm_task_run' failures.  The 'dm_task_run' issues should be solved before these other dependent bugs.
Comment 1 Jonathan Earl Brassow 2012-07-30 22:22:16 UTC 
This bug is the RHEL6 equivalent to bug 813954 - a bug designed to encapsulate all the issues that revolve around 'dm_task_run' errors.

Again, the 'dm_task_run' issues should be solved before these other dependent bugs.
Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2012-12-14 08:20:23 UTC 
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 4 Zdenek Kabelac 2013-05-14 10:11:13 UTC 
I believe there are no random dm_task_run errors anymore with current code.
So I'm closing this BZ - if they appear - reopen this BZ with trace.
Comment 5 Jonathan Earl Brassow 2013-05-29 17:20:05 UTC 
This bug is not fixed:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=624148#c27
Comment 6 Zdenek Kabelac 2013-05-30 07:40:48 UTC 
This doesn't look like failure of dm_task_run() - but rather lvm2 mirror code is doing bad things here.   ioctl is getting signal to wakeup from some kernel event - so not really a fault of dm_task_run.
Comment 7 Corey Marthaler 2013-05-30 22:00:40 UTC 
These don't just happen during mirror operations though. Lots of lvm operations can cause these messages to show up.

Comment 8 Zdenek Kabelac 2014-11-25 15:45:14 UTC 
I believe another one related to Bug #1108540 - where dmeventd was incorrectly unmonitoring devices.

This is fixed with lvm2 2.02.112.

Well, the bug #1108540 had "Device or resource busy" error, while this bug (and bug #813954) has "Invalid argument" error issued. So it seems a bit different. Anyway, would be good to see if the other error (Invalid argument) is still reproducible...

(moving back to NEW as this is not yet resolved - the error described in this report differs)
Comment 11 Marian Csontos 2015-05-05 13:25:16 UTC 
Can we insert an Internal Error to dmeventd which is failing here?

Then QEs will have to run tests with abort_on_internal_errors set and provide the coredump should it happen again.
Comment 12 Peter Rajnoha 2015-10-15 07:19:07 UTC 
We don't have a concrete reproducer for now, marking with "devel cond nak reproducer" for now.
Comment 13 Peter Rajnoha 2015-10-15 07:20:56 UTC 
Also, there were lots of fixes in dmeventd - it's probably worth trying the new lvm2 release first once we do the new build for 6.8.
Comment 14 Zdenek Kabelac 2015-10-29 12:48:15 UTC 
AFAIK this bug should be closed and reopened when something new appears.

We've fixed large list of bugs - e.g.  dmeventd was breaking its own processed lvm2 command  with SIGALRM causing unexpected ioctl failures if the timer expired while command has been processed.

I'm considering this BZ as solved with release 2.02.133.
Comment 21 Corey Marthaler 2016-02-22 16:09:27 UTC 
Marking verified (SanityOnly) in the latest rpms.
