Resending the patch after fixing the header, Porting and testing in
2.6.30-rc3, and a bug fix.
---------------
There is a problem which was caused due to the architectural change made
when we moved from dm hardware handler to SCSI hardware handler.
In dm, handler was called to do a pg_init for a path group, and there
was no state maintained in hardware handler code for each path.
In SCSI dh, "state" is maintanined per path, as we wanted to fail I/O
early on that path if it is not the active path.
All of the hardware handlers, do have a state now, and they are set to
active and (some form of) inactive. All of them have prep_fn(), which use
this "state" to fail the I/O without it ever being sent to the device.
So, in effect when dm-multipath calls scsi_dh_activate(), activate is
sent to only one path and the "state" of that path is changed appropriately
to "active" while other paths in the same path group are never changed
as they never got an "activate".
In order make sure all the paths in a path group gets their state set
properly when a pg_init happens, we need to call scsi_dh_activate() on
all paths in a path group.
Doing this at the hardware handler layer is not a good option as we
want the multipath layer to define the relationship between path and path
groups and not the hardware handler.
Attached patch sends an "activate" on each path in a path group when a
path group is switched. It also sends an activate when a path is reinstated.
Patch is applied and tested on 2.6.30-rc3.
