Hi Christophe, As Ben has ack'd v2 of my "various multipath-tools patches" series now, I'm resending my previously submitted series "checkers overhaul" rebased on top of that. To spare the list unnecessary repetition, I resend only this cover letter and patch 11/21, because all others are exactly the same as before. This series starts with a few minor fixes and then attempts an overhaul of the checker code. First, there's a block of patches to get rid of the "message" char array in struct checker, replacing it with an integer. This topic had been touched in recent discussion between Ben and myself. The next larger block fixes problems with checkers that try to check unsupported devices. It's an interesting experience to configure wrong checkers for the existing devices and see what happens. With these patches, paths won't be falsely teared down any more in such situations. The last patch cleans up the checker data structure by splitting it into a "checker class" and the path "checker instance". There's more work to do in this area, but this is a start.
