Ok.

I couldn't figure out a better way to check if the target in question
was multipath (in my experience, multipath is practically always
request based). With your suggestions below, I'll be able to get rid of
this admittedly odd logic. Thanks.


I'm not sure about SG_IO on bio-based dm-multipath. My feeling was that
it wouldn't work, but I haven't tried or analyzed it in detail.

Ok. I'll see if I can shape this code in a way that addresses both your
concerns and Bart's.

Ok, this was what I'd been missing. Can I trust that this will hold in
the future?

multipath's prepare_ioctl() method returns an error if no path could be
found, in which case I break the loop.

That would be similar to Hannes' suggestion.

Thanks a lot for the detailed review. I think this should get me
forward.
