The multipath code currently deletes the disk only after all references to it are dropped rather than when the last path to that disk is lost. This has been reported to cause problems with some use cases like MD RAID. This patch implements an alternative behaviour of deleting the disk when the last path is gone, ie the same behaviour as non-multipathed nvme devices. The new behaviour will be selected with the 'fail_if_no_path' attribute, as returning it's arguably the same functionality.

Does it need to call nvme_mpath_remove_disk here ? It looks like it returns with nothing right away if NVME_NSHEAD_FAIL_IF_NO_PATH is set. _______________________________________________ Linux-nvme mailing list Linux-nvme@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-nvme
