Subject: [PATCH v2 02/18] scsi-multipath: introduce scsi_device head structure
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 11:14:31 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260428111447.1779062-3-john.g.garry@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260428111447.1779062-1-john.g.garry@oracle.com>
Introduce a scsi_device head structure - scsi_mpath_head - to manage
multipathing for a scsi_device. This is similar to nvme_ns_head structure.
A list of scsi_mpath_head structures is managed to lookup for matching
multipathed scsi_device's. Matching is done through the scsi_device
unique id.
A new class for multipathed devices is added, scsi_mpath_device_class.
The purpose of this class is for managing the scsi_mpath_head.dev member.
The naming for the scsi_device structure is in form H:C:I:L,
where H is host, C is channel, I is ID, and L is lun.
However, for a multipathed scsi_device, all the naming members may be
different between member scsi_device's. As such, just use a simple
single-number naming index for each scsi_mpath_head.
The sysfs device folder will have links to the scsi_device's so, it will
be possible to lookup the member scsi_device's.
An example sysfs entry is as follows:
# ls -l /sys/class/scsi_mpath_device/scsi_mpath_device0/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Apr 13 15:48 power
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Apr 13 15:48 subsystem -> ../../../../class/scsi_mpath_device
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Apr 13 15:48 uevent
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Apr 13 15:48 vpd_id
