Its possible that when a multipath device is being updated, it will end up that all the paths for it are gone. This can happen if paths are added and then removed again before multipathd processes the uevent for the newly created multipath device. In this case multipathd wasn't taking the proper action for the case where all the paths had been removed. If flush_on_last_del was set, multipathd wasn't disabling flushing and if deferred_remove was set, it wasn't doing a deferred remove. Multipathd should call flush_map_nopaths(), just like ev_remove_path() does when the last path is removed.
