I think the patch is still broken.

When "m->pg_init_required && !m->current_pg",
it ends up with !pg_ready() and no pg_init running.
So map_io() will not be called and IO will stall.

What do you think about my suggestion here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2014-February/msg00013.html

Also it's not yet clear why the second parameter of __pg_init_all_paths()
is needed. (At least, "50/HZ" is typo or something.)

What happens if "!m->current_pg && m->pg_init_required"?
