Subject: [PATCH v3 01/10] nvme-multipath: add initial support for using libmultipath
Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2026 10:31:55 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260703103204.3724406-2-john.g.garry@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260703103204.3724406-1-john.g.garry@oracle.com>
Add initial support, as follows:
- Add mpath_head_template
- Add mpath_device in nvme_ns
- Add mpath_disk pointer to head structure
Initially all the functionality which mpath_head_template points to will be
unused, until the driver fully switches to libmultipath. Otherwise it's
hard to do so in a step-wise fashion without breaking functionality.
Many of the libmultipath-based function added will reference the
ns mpath_device, so add that now. Also add the NS head disk pointer for the
same reason.
