lvm needs PV devices to not be suspended while the udev rules are
running, for them to be correctly identified as PVs. However, multipathd
will often be in a situation where it will create a multipath device
upon seeing a path, and then immediately reload the device upon seeing
another path. If multipath is reloading a device while processing the
udev event from its creation, lvm can fail to identify it as a PV. This
can cause systems to fail to boot. Unfortunately, using udev
synchronization cookies to solve this issue would cause a host of other
issues that could only be avoided by a pretty substantial change in how
multipathd does locking and event processing. The good news is that
multipathd is already listening to udev events itself, and can make sure
that it isn't reloading when it shouldn't be.
This patch makes multipathd delay or refuse any reloads that would
happen between the time when it creates a device, and when it receives
the change uevent from the device creation. The only reloads that it
refuses are from the multipathd interactive commands that make no sense
on a not fully started device. Otherwise, it processes the event or
command, and sets a flag to either mark that device for an update, or
to signal that multipathd needs a reconfigure. When the udev event for
the creation arrives, multipath will reload the device if necessary. If
a reconfigure has been requested, and no devices are currently being
created, multipathd will also do the reconfigure then.
Also this patch adds a configurable timer "missing_uev_wait_timeout"
defaulting to 30 seconds. If the udev creation event has not arrived
after this timeout has triggered, multipathd will print an warning
message, and re-enable device reloads, as if the event had occured.
Users can also manually re-enable device reloads by running
multipathd add map <map_waiting_on_udev>
