APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • allocp called by extendlv needs moe than an hour
    to complete/return in case the LV to be extended
    has 1000000 LPs.
    

Local fix

  • None, just wait. Use the -L flag on lsvg, lslv, etc.
    commands to get not blocked by the LVM lock of the VG
    which is taken the by extendlv the whole time.
    

Problem summary

  • allocp, called by extendlv and other LVM commands, can run
    for a very long time on extremely large LVs.  The code to
    read in the LP map of the LV has room for improvement in the
    algorithm that reads it in and stores it in a linked list.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Enhance the algorithm to read in the lvmap so that it can
    do so much quicker in the normal case.
    

Temporary fix
