Hi Christophe, This is v3 of my "checkers overhaul" series. Like v2, it's based on the previous "various multipath-tools patches" series. I'm resending only those patches that have changed wrt v1 from Oct. 12th. Let me know if you need the complete set. I kept Ben's Reviewed-by: tag in 21/22, as it really changed only in a trivial way. 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. Regards, Martin ---- Changes v2->v3: - 03/22: fixed one minor issue mentioned by Ben; reverted the const-ification of checker_message(), as it will be reverted in 22/22 anyway. - 13/22: fix clariion checker semantics (Ben). - 21/22: rebased on top of updated 03/22. - 22/22: fix thread-safety issue from 03/22 (Ben).
