Re: [PATCH v5 01/27] libmultipath: Add initial framework

[sashiko-bot@kernel.org]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Low] The static workqueue `mpath_wq` is allocated but never used to queue work.
- [Low] Missing `#include <linux/wait_bit.h>` in `lib/multipath.c` causes a build issue.

[Severity: Low]
Does this code build without including <linux/wait_bit.h>?

It appears that the wake_up_var() macro used here, and the wait_var_event()
macro used in mpath_head_uninit(), are defined in <linux/wait_bit.h>.
This header does not seem to be included directly or implicitly through
<linux/multipath.h> or <linux/module.h>.

[Severity: Low]
Is it necessary to allocate this workqueue here?

It looks like the static variable mpath_wq is allocated and initialized, but
no work is ever actually queued to it. Could this allocation be removed
until it is needed?
