From: Martin Wilck <mwilck@xxxxxxxx> Hi Christophe, hi Ben, This is part V of a larger patch series for multipath-tools I've been preparing. It's based on the previously submitted part IV. The full series will also be available here: https://github.com/mwilck/multipath-tools/tree/ups/submit-2007 There are tags in that repo for each part of the series. This part is tagged "submit-200709-5". The series addresses several issues with missing, unintialized, and removed paths. The motivation was that I strongly dislike the side effects of disassemble_map(), adding paths and setting WWIDs while parsing map parameters. IMO this has always been a layering violation. This patch set adds a new function dedicated to handling paths which have not been detected via udev but are present as members of dm maps. That makes it much easier to track and improve the logic applied when such devices are detected. I believe that the new logic will also fix the issue recently reported by Chongyun ("libmultipath/dmparser: add missing path with good status when sync state with dm kernel"). At least, the approach is very similar, although the call to pathinfo() for new devices now happens in update_pathvec_from_dm() rather than in disassemble_map(). The patch set also gets rid of the "is_daemon" argument for disassemble_map(), causing semantics in daemon and non-daemon mode. The reason for this parameter goes way back into history; it was avoiding to re-add manually removed paths because they were still showing up in maps. But OTOH we must add missing devices which we've failed to detect. The patch set handles this by tracking the state of "being removed" as a new init state, and only actually removing the paths from pathvec when they don't show up in maps any more.
