I only applied the 3 patches that I asked you to include in your v4.7
kernel(s), which I made available with this branch:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm.git/log/?h=dm-4.7-mpath-fixes

Could be that something changed in v4.8 block core's blk-mq code that
needs to be taken into account, we'll see.

I'll get linux-dm.git's 'dm-4.8' branch (v4.8-rc2) loaded on one of my
testbed systems to run the mptest testsuite.  It should provide coverage
for simple failover and failback.
