From: Chongyun Wu <wu.chongyun@xxxxxxx> Test environment: 25 hosts, each host have more than 100 luns, each lun have two paths. Some times when we try to ceate new multipath will encounter "could not create uxsock:98" but the multipathd still running not shutdown and can't response any multipathd commands also. After reproduce this issue and debug, found below fixes might work: (1) set_config_state() after pthread_cond_timedwait() other threads might changed the running_state from DAEMON_SHUTDOWN to other status like DAEMON_IDLE, which will make the shutdown process stopped. I found logs to prove this really happened, so we need add judgement here too.
