Subject: [PATCH v9 06/29] libmultipath: Add support for mpath_device management
Date: Sun, 8 Nov 2026 20:47:10 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261108204733.557995-7-john.garry@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261108204733.557995-1-john.garry@linux.dev>
Add support to add or remove a mpath_device as a path.
NVMe has almost like-for-like equivalents here:
- nvme_mpath_clear_current_path() -> mpath_clear_current_path()
- nvme_mpath_add_sysfs_link() -> mpath_add_sysfs_link()
- nvme_mpath_remove_sysfs_link() -> mpath_remove_sysfs_link()
- nvme_mpath_revalidate_paths() -> mpath_revalidate_paths()
The functionality in mpath_clear_paths() and mpath_synchronize() have the
same pattern which is frequently used in the NVMe code.
