It would be helpful if multipathd could log a message when
multipath.conf or files in the config_dir have been written to, both so
that it can be used to send a notification to users, and to help with
determining after the fact if multipathd was running with an older
config, when the logs of multipathd's behaviour don't match with the
current multipath.conf.
To do this, the multipathd uxlsnr thread now sets up inotify watches on
both /etc/multipath.conf and the config_dir to watch if the files are
deleted or closed after being opened for writing. In order to keep
uxlsnr from polling repeatedly if the multipath.conf or the config_dir
aren't present, it will only set up the watches once per reconfigure.
However, since multipath.conf is far more likely to be replaced by a
text editor than modified in place, if it gets removed, multipathd will
immediately try to restart the watch on it (which will succeed if the
file was simply replaced by a new copy). This does mean that if
multipath.conf or the config_dir are actually removed and then later
re-added, multipathd won't log any more messages for changes until the
next reconfigure. But that seems like a fair trade-off to avoid
repeatedly polling for files that aren't likely to appear.
