[PATCH v2 0/7] Add protocol specific config subsection

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Some storage arrays can be accessed using multiple protocols at the same
time.  I've have customers request the ability to set different values
for the path specific timeouts, like fast_io_fail_tmo, based on the
protocol used to access the path. In order to make this possible, this
patchset adds a new protocol subsection to the overrides section. This
allows users to set a device config's path specific timeouts, such as
dev_loss_tmo, fast_io_fail_tmo, and eh_deadline on a per-protocol basis.

Changes from v1 (all based on suggestions from Martin Wilck):
0003: Adds the protocol subsection to the overrides section instead of
      the device subsection, pulling in code from original patch 0007
0005: Checks the pctable of the overrides section instead of the
      hwes, pulling in code from original patch 0007
Original patches 0006 and 0007 have been removed.
0007: (original patch 0009) modified the man page to no longer
      reference the protocol subsection under the device
      subsection

  libmultipath: add a protocol subsection to multipath.conf
  libmultipath: Set the scsi timeout parameters by path

  libmultipath: fix eh_deadline documentation
  libmultipath: Add documentation for the protocol subsection
