Subject: [multipath tools] pgp->priority average calculation
Date: Tue, 08 Jan 2013 16:51:31 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <50ECA2F3.7070501@cs.wisc.edu> (raw)

Hey Ben and Hannes and Christophe,

Happy multipath-tools patch submission day :)

I had a question on the pgp->priority average calculation and its
display to the user.


Ben, you added the patch

commit cd21bd290a57eed350d564bac403da9d6941a144
Author: Benjamin Marzinski <bmarzins@redhat.com>

    multipath: sort all pathgroups by priority


which did

        }
-       pgp->priority = priority;

-       if (pgp->enabled_paths)
-               avg_priority = pgp->priority / pgp->enabled_paths;
-       return snprint_int(buff, len, avg_priority);
+


but then Hannes later added the patch:


commit 750db1f0dc08bf1d96ce64d32786dfe07b8ae3f9
Author: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.de>
Date:   Wed Mar 17 08:32:51 2010 +0100

    Display avg priority as group priority


which added it back in the print code:


-       return snprint_int(buff, len, pgp->priority);
+       if (pgp->enabled_paths)
+               avg_priority = pgp->priority / pgp->enabled_paths;
+       return snprint_int(buff, len, avg_priority);


So when we print the prio, it ends up getting divided by the number of
enabled paths twice.


Was Hannes's patch a mistake? Should it be reverted?
