Subject: [PATCH v7 04/27] libmultipath: Add bio handling
Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2026 10:45:03 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260901104526.3850621-5-john.g.garry@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260901104526.3850621-1-john.g.garry@oracle.com>
From: John Garry <john.garry@linux.dev>
Add support to submit a bio per-path. In addition, for failover, add
support to requeue a failed bio.
NVMe has almost like-for-like equivalents here:
- nvme_available_path() -> mpath_available_path()
- nvme_requeue_work() -> mpath_requeue_work()
- nvme_ns_head_submit_bio() -> mpath_bdev_submit_bio()
For failover, a driver may want to re-submit a bio, so add support to
clone a bio prior to submission.
A bio which is submitted to a per-path device has flag REQ_MPATH set,
same as what is done for NVMe with REQ_NVME_MPATH.
