Conversation
Mirror of avocado-framework/avocado#6346. Functions added: - cleanup_disks(): Main orchestration API (auto/light/full modes) - normalize_multipath_devices(): Map devices to their multipath paths - build_device_dependencies(): Build LVM/RAID/partition dependency graph - cleanup_raid_arrays(): Stop and remove software RAID arrays (mdadm) - remove_lvm_structures(): Remove LVM LVs, VGs, and PVs in correct order - unmount_devices(): Unmount all filesystems/swap on given devices - wipe_disk_metadata(): Clear filesystem and RAID signatures via wipefs - _find_partitions(): Detect partitions belonging to devices - _find_lvm_structures(): Discover VGs/LVs backed by given devices - _find_raid_arrays(): Discover active MD arrays using given devices - _check_raid_for_lvm(): Detect LVM stacked on top of RAID - _build_mount_points(): Collect all active mount points for devices - _stop_raid_array(): Stop a single MD array with retries - _get_raid_members(): Query member block devices of an MD array - _clean_raid_members(): Clear RAID superblocks from member devices - _remove_partition_tables(): Zero partition table sectors - _zero_disks(): Zero first N MB of each disk (default 100 MB) - _settle_system(): Run udevadm settle after device changes Module-level constants added (replacing magic numbers): - MAX_UNMOUNT_RETRIES, UNMOUNT_RETRY_DELAY_SECONDS - RAID_STOP_RETRIES, RAID_STOP_TIMEOUT_SECONDS - WIPE_RETRY_ATTEMPTS, WIPE_RETRY_DELAY_SECONDS - DEFAULT_WIPE_SIZE_MB, PARTITION_TABLE_ZERO_BLOCKS - METADATA_ZERO_BLOCKS, METADATA_ZERO_BLOCK_SIZE - UDEV_SETTLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS, DEVICE_STABILIZATION_DELAY_SECONDS - RAID_STOP_DELAY_SECONDS, DM_SUSPEND_DELAY_SECONDS - UMOUNT_FORCE_RETRY_COUNT, UMOUNT_FORCE_RETRY_DELAY - CLEANUP_DISK_VALID_MODES Adaptations from the avocado upstream PR: - Replaced avocado.utils.lv_utils.vg_check() with direct vgs(8) invocation (no lv_utils module in aautils) - Replaced avocado.utils.wait.wait_for() with autils.devel.wait.wait_for - Retained avocado.utils.multipath (already a dependency of this module) - All imports use autils-native paths (autils.devel.process, autils.file.genio) Exception handling uses specific types (OSError, ValueError, KeyError, TimeoutError) throughout — no bare except clauses. Debug logging added at all exception catch sites. Signed-off-by: Maram Srimannarayana Murthy <msmurthy@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
WalkthroughThe change adds disk dependency discovery and multipath normalization. It adds retry-based unmount, swapoff, LVM removal, RAID stopping, metadata wiping, partition-table removal, disk zeroing, and device settling. The new Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The new cleanup workflow is not ready to merge because multipath, mapped, and RAID devices can be missed or left mounted while cleanup reports success or continues destructive operations. Valid LVM layouts may also be skipped; these correctness issues should be fixed before use. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

- Around line 599-601: Update normalize_multipath_devices so the mapper branch
appends the bare mapper device name, consistent with the fallback branches and
the consumers _find_partitions, _find_lvm_structures, and _find_raid_arrays.
Preserve the existing logging and mapper detection while ensuring downstream
/sys/block and /dev path construction receives the expected bare-name form.
- Line 939: Update unmount_devices to normalize each device entry before
resolving it, avoiding the /dev/ prefix when the entry is already an absolute
path while preserving support for plain device names. Apply the same
normalization to _find_raid_arrays wherever it constructs /dev/{d} from these
entries, so mapper, RAID, and other symlinked paths resolve and match correctly.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
normalize_multipath_devices returns an inconsistent device form that breaks downstream discovery.
The fallback branches (lines 577, 582, 586, 610) append a bare name such as sda. This branch appends a full path such as /dev/mapper/mpatha. Every consumer treats the result as a bare name:
_find_partitionsbuilds/sys/block/{dev}→/sys/block//dev/mapper/mpatha, which never exists, so the loop skips the device._find_lvm_structuresbuilds/dev/{dev}→/dev//dev/mapper/mpatha, sopvsfails andignore_status=Truehides it._find_raid_arrayschecksos.path.exists(f"/dev/{dev}")with the same malformed path.
Result: for a multipath disk, build_device_dependencies discovers no partitions, no LVM, and no RAID, and cleanup_disks silently reports success without cleaning anything.
Return the bare mapper name and let consumers prefix it, or normalize all return values to full paths and update every consumer.
🐛 Proposed fix (keep bare-name contract)
- mapper_path = f"/dev/mapper/{mpath}"
- log.info(" %s → %s (dm: %s)", dev_name, mapper_path, holder)
- normalized.append(mapper_path)
+ log.info(
+ " %s → /dev/mapper/%s (dm: %s)", dev_name, mpath, holder
+ )
+ normalized.append(f"mapper/{mpath}")Note that mapper/<name> works for /dev/{dev} construction but not for /sys/block/{dev}. Confirm which form each consumer needs before choosing.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
unmount_devices prefixes /dev/ onto entries that are already absolute paths.
cleanup_disks passes deps["mounts"], and _build_mount_points puts absolute paths into that list (/dev/<dev> at Line 836, /dev/mapper/<vg>-<lv> at Line 840, and the RAID paths). For d = "/dev/mapper/mpatha", this line builds /dev//dev/mapper/mpatha. os.path.realpath does not raise for a missing path, so it returns /dev/dev/mapper/mpatha unresolved and real_d becomes mpatha.
The /proc/mounts side resolves correctly: /dev/mapper/mpatha → /dev/dm-3 → real_dev = "dm-3". dm-3 != mpatha, so the device is never unmounted and no error is reported.
Plain names such as sda1 survive by accident, because the unresolved basename equals the resolved one. Every symlinked form (/dev/mapper/*, /dev/md/<name>, /dev/disk/by-id/*) fails to match.
🐛 Proposed fix
- real_d = os.path.basename(os.path.realpath(f"/dev/{d}"))
+ d_path = d if d.startswith("/") else f"/dev/{d}"
+ real_d = os.path.basename(os.path.realpath(d_path))
real_dev = os.path.basename(os.path.realpath(dev))
except OSError:
real_d = os.path.basename(d)Apply the same normalization in _find_raid_arrays at Line 745, which builds f"/dev/{d}" from the same kind of entries.
