If disable_changed_wwids is set, when multipathd gets a change event on a path, it verifies that the wwid hasn't changed in uev_update_path(). If get_uid() failed, uev_update_path treated this as a wwid change to 0. This could cause paths to suddenly be dropped due to an issue with getting the wwid. Even if get_uid() failed because the path was down, it no change uevent happend when it later became active, multipathd would continue to ignore the path. Also, scsi_uid_fallback() clears the failure return if it doesn't attempt to fallback, causing get_uid() to return success, when it actually failed. Multipathd should neither set nor clear wwid_changed if get_uid() returned failure. Also, scsi_uid_fallback() should retain the old return value if it doesn't attempt to fallback.
