Thank you for the libprio coding. And I'm sorry for my late reply. I checked the commit and found a bug during my small testing. I'll send a patch to fix it by another email. I would like to note that we lost the priority callout feature completely to fix the stall problem of root multipath. Although below is just my humble opinion, I guess it was useful for people who want to use new prioritizers on official distro's environments until an update package including the prioritizer is released. So if such a case often happens, adding other ways to use external prioritizers (perhaps dynamic loading library module like LVM2) would be required in the near future.
