Hi,
We are seeing I/O hang when volumes (configured with rdac path checker) are unmapped from the storage. Expected is I/O should fail. Please see the syslog snippet below:

Below is the patch that fix this issue. When devices are unmapped from storage, rdac patch checker sets the path state for those devices as ghost. As a reason dm issues mode select to failover path group and fails with 0x59100, which eventually ends up with ping pong between path groups resulting in I/O hang. In rdac path checker, we need to check if devices are not connected, mark it as failed. This patch adds check for Peripheral Qualifier (PQ) & Peripheral Device type(PDT) of Inquiry data and fails the path if either 1) PQ is set to 0x1 or 2) PQ set to 0x11 and PDT set to 0x1F.
