Tis patchset is based on discussions I had with Martin Wilck about my
last, partially applied patchset.
The first two patches are reposts of patches from my earlier patchset,
redone to work with the new libmp_mapinfo() API. They make it possible
to add maps by WWID with "multipathd add map".
The rest of the patches are work and bugfixes related to refactoring
checkerloop so that
1. multipath devices get resynced with the kernel occasionally, even if
they have not paths
2. If multiple paths from a multipath device are checked in the same
loop, the multipath device will only get resynced once.
3. All the paths of a multipath device will converge to being checked at
the same time (at least as much as their differing checkint values will
allow).
4. The times for checking the paths of each multipath device will spread
out as much as possible so multipathd doesn't do all of it's checking in
a burst.
5. path checking is done my multipath device (for initialized paths,
the uninitialized paths are handled after all the adopted paths are
handled).
Items 1 & 2 are handled by patch 10 and preceding patches.
Items 3 & 4 and handled by patch 17 and preceding patches.
Item 5 is handled by patch 18 and 19.
Changes in v4 (all from Martin's suggestions):
09: Changed commit message and fixed incorrect comment
10: Moved getting checkint from config to the if clause where its used
11 & 12: Moved setting pp->checkint from 12 to 11
14: Added comment about when refresh_all is set.
Changes in v3:
10: adapt to 27053732 'fixup "libmultipath: use libmp_pathinfo() in
update_multipath_table()"'. This is identical to 1d564df4
("multipathd: adjust when mpp is synced with the kernel") on
mwilck/tip.
11: fix commit message (Martin)
17: use symbolic return code (Martin)
Changes in v2 (old patch number in quotes):
01: change from returning minor number to dm info (Martin)
02: adapt to change in patch 01
05 (05-07): squash into one commit (Martin)
08 (10): fix commit message (Matin)
10 (12): rename do_check_mpp amd check_mpp
11 (13): move the code that saved the path name to right before it was
removed (Martin)
14 (16): use symbolic return codes (Martin)
15 (17): set path state to PATH_UNCHECKED when orphaned, and skip paths
in INIT_REMOVED in sync_map_state() (Martin)
17 (19): clear pp->pending_ticks in check_path() if the path is delayed
instead of pending. Use a different equation to check if we
need to modify the ticks, that can adjust the ticks on every
check. adapt to change in patch 14
18 (20): adapt to change in patch 14
19 (21): adapt to change in patch 10 and 14
20 (22): Add fixes trailer
