Basically the latter. We (ie hch and myself) discussed this briefly at
LPC, and thought it'd be the right step in the right direction.
'Real' multipath support w/ blk-mq would need some more thought, though.
What we've been discussing was to redo the entire I/O submission path:
a) pass down I/O _without_ cloning on the current path
b) clone the request _for retry_ only.
with b) covering retry on a different path and partial I/O submission
on the current path.
That would have the benefit doing away with the current request/bio
cloning. Plus we could even model things like 'preferred' path.
Now we only need someone to implement this ...
Cheers,
Hannes
