From a58a935d5a1b2ad267017a68c3a1bca26226cc76 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Snitzer Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2012 15:08:04 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] dm mpath: add retain_attached_hw_handler feature A SCSI device handler might get attached to a device during the initial device scan. We do not necessarily want to override this when loading a multipath table, so this patch adds a new multipath feature argument "retain_attached_hw_handler". During SCSI device scan all loaded SCSI device handlers will be consulted for a match (via scsi_dh's provided .match). If a match is found that device handler will be attached. We need a way to have userspace multipathd's provided 'hw_handler' not override the already attached hardware handler. When specifying the new feature 'retain_attached_hw_handler' multipath will use the currently attached hardware handler instead of trying to attach the one specified during table load. If no hardware handler is attached the specified hardware handler will still be used. Leverages scsi_dh_attach's ability to increment the scsi_dh's reference count if the same scsi_dh name is provided when attaching - currently attached scsi_dh name is determined with scsi_dh_attached_handler_name. Depends upon commit 7e8a74b177f17d100916b6ad415450f7c9508691 ("[SCSI] scsi_dh: add scsi_dh_attached_handler_name").
