'multipath add path' returns ok but the path is missing in the topology

Hi,

I would like to report a bug.
I am using network storage via SRP/SRPT over Infiniband.
When a new sd device is created by SRP, I execute 'multipathd add path
sdX' command and then a new map device is created automatically.

I used to use the kernel 4.14 version and had no problem.
But after upgrading to kernel 4.19, I have a problem that 'multipath
add path sdX' returns ok but sdX is not included in the topology.

For example, I ran 'multipath add path sdaj' and 'multipath add path
sdak' and they returned ok.
Then I check the topology with 'multipathd show topology' and sdak is missing.

Following is the log message from multipathd daemon.
I found that
1. adding sdaj was done correctly and map
3600144f033337cfc3ca5222200196002 and dm-11 was created
2. daemon started adding sdak (according to "sdak: add path (operator)" message)
3. suddenly map dm-11 was removed and created
4. adding sdak returned ok but there was no "sdak: path added to
devmap .." message.  I waited some minutes but it did not show up.
I guess there would be some corner case for error handling.
The multipathd might have an error but not return an error.
