Subject: [PATCH v9 14/29] scsi-multipath: provide sysfs link from to scsi_device
Date: Sun, 8 Nov 2026 20:47:18 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261108204733.557995-15-john.garry@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261108204733.557995-1-john.garry@linux.dev>
Provide a link in sysfs from a scsi_mpath_device to member scsi_device's.
An example is as follows:
# ls -l /sys/class/scsi_mpath_device/scsi_mpath_device0/multipath/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Feb 24 12:01 8:0:0:0 -> ../../../../platform/host8/session1/target8:0:0/8:0:0:0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Feb 24 12:01 9:0:0:0 -> ../../../../platform/host9/session2/target9:0:0/9:0:0:0
