I've been looking into support blk-mq/scsi-mq in dm-mpath, but I'm
already running into issues with mainline. I created a couple luns
(without second path) using iet, and then using the iscsi initiator
to access them. But it seems like no I/O is possible through dm-mpath
for this simple setup as the kpartx processes spawned by udev already
hang. Is dm-mpath (default config, no multipath.conf) support to work
for a single path setup, or is this expected behavior?
On a complete different footing, I've whipped together some patches
to simplify the request/bio cloning when using multipath;
basically do _not_ clone the bios, but just modify the rq_end_io
handler.
You mentioned something at LSF that the current way of handling is
quite insane, and looking at it I tend to agree.
So if you'd be interested I'll be posting them.
