From: Martin Wilck <mwilck@xxxxxxxx> For existing paths, we don't need to force setting DI_WWID. It's pointless because it would matter only in multipathd, and all callers of update_multipath_table() / update_pathvec_from_dm() in multipathd call it with flags=0, so this code won't be executed. And this makes sense, because the path would either have been cleanly initialized via path_discover() or an uevent, or pathinfo() would have been called in update_pathvec_from_dm() in an earlier invocation. Also remove the misleading comment, and make coverity happy by checking the return value of pathinfo(). --- Note: I haven't fully made up my mind whether we should act on a pathinfo() failure here. For now, let the log message suffice. Because the pathinfo flags are usually clear and pp->udev exists, the only possible failure would be filtering by foreign libraries or by devnode, which seems highly unlikely if it hasn't happened beforehand.
