Please do not use attachments when submitting patches. Please inline the patch in the body of the mail. Also please trim extraneous info when you reply to mails and please do not top-post. Your patch submissions were not well received by the dm-devel patchwork (which automatically collects submitted dm-devel patches so they don't get lost in the shuffle). Also, please use unique and descriptive subjects for the patches in a multipatch series. As for the proposed mpath change: Babu already pointed out that you don't need this mpath change as the default case already performs fail_path(). So all you need is that scsi_dh patch to get upstream. But to do that you'll need to: 1) create a patch against the upstream scsi-misc tree (not RHEL5.5): git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi-misc-2.6.git 2) send the patch to the linux-scsi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx mailing list (feel free to cc dm-devel too). Once this change is in the upstream scsi tree it'll propagate to RHEL releases. Thanks, Mike -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
