Whenever multipathd tries to reload a device, even if it's because a
path switched from read/write to read-only, it tries to load the device
read/write first, and then falls back to read-only. When device-mapper
sees that multipath is using the same devices in the same state in its
new table, it simply reuses the devices from the old table, instead of
closing and re-opening them. This means that multipath can successfully
reload the multipath device read/write, even if a path device has
switched to read-only. To deal with this, multipathd now doesn't try to
reload a device read/write when it sees that a path device has switched
to read-only.
