[PATCH v2 18/37] libmultipath: keep bindings in memory

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

 



From: Martin Wilck <mwilck@xxxxxxxx>

Rather than opening the bindings file every time we must retrieve
a binding, keep the contents in memory and write the file only
if additions have been made. This simplifies the code, and should speed up
alias lookups significantly. As a side effect, the aliases will be stored
sorted by alias, which changes the way aliases are allocated if there are
unused "holes" in the sequence of aliases. For example, if the bindings file
contains mpathb, mpathy, and mpatha, in this order, the next new alias used to
be mpathz and is now mpathc.

Another side effect is that multipathd will not automatically pick up changes
to the bindings file at runtime without a reconfigure operation. It is
questionable whether these on-the-fly changes were a good idea in the first
place, as inconsistent configurations may easily come to pass. It desired,
it would be feasible to implement automatic update of the bindings using the
existing inotify approach.

The new implementation of get_user_friendly_alias() is slightly different
than before. The logic is summarized in a comment in the code. Unit tests
will be provided that illustrate the changes.
