Hi Christophe, most of the patches in this series reduce log levels of frequently printed messages at verbosity level 3. My goal was to limit the output of multipathd to one line per path per checker invocation, which is sufficient to track multipathd's view of path health in the logs. The standard setting of -v2 is not enough for post-mortem analysis of many failures. With this series, running multipathd with verbosity 3 becomes a realistic option even in production environments. So far the amount of output from multipathd with -v3 pretty much made this impossible, at least over longer time periods, and also made reading these logs very cumbersome due to the amount of redundant partly superfluos verbosity. I've taken care not to loose important information in the logs. Apart from that, the series fixes errors in the unit tests introduced by my last "checker overhaul" patch series (proving that I forgot to run the tests before submitting :-( ), and fixes a problem that I found while testing handling of a bad configuration (paths with size mismatch). Regards, Martin Changes in v2: The first 19 patches are identical to v1 as ACK'd by Ben, except 16/24 "libmultipath: coalesce_paths: fix size mismatch handling". No. 8/24 "libmultipath: decrease log level of word splitting" (not yet ACKd by Ben) also stays the same; the issue Ben raised in his review is addressed in a separate patch, 20/24. 21/24 addresses implements Ben's suggestion to use named constants as return values in coalesce_paths(). 22, 23, 24 do the same for other important, related functions, as I found it strange to make this change just for coalesce_paths() alone.
