From: Martin Wilck <mwilck@xxxxxxxx>
The current test to detect "spurious" uevents, and thus whether to
import DM_SUBSYSTEM_UDEV_FLAG1 (the flag for the "skip_kpartx" option)
from the udev db is wrong. In 10-dm.rules, DM_UDEV_PRIMARY_SOURCE_FLAG
is imported from the db if it isn't set, meaning that it's always 1
for active maps. The only events for which DM_SUBSYSTEM_UDEV_FLAG1
must not be loaded from the db are the real "primary" events, which
have DM_ACTIVATION=="1".
11-dm-mpath.rules resets DM_ACTIVATION to 0 if nothing should change in upper
layers. In this case importing DM_SUBSYSTEM_UDEV_FLAG1 is correct, too. kpartx
will not be called anyway, because 11-dm-mpath.rules also sets MPATH_UNCHANGED=1.
