[dm-devel] patch for handling clariion I/O to

Christophe,

This patch attempts to prevent an I/O hang which can occur with host I/O
to an "in-active" CLARiiON snapshot LU.  While the snapshot LU is
presented to the host, inquiry, TUR, and read capacity commands succeed,
but read and write commands are failed.

The patch is not entirely CLARiiON specific since I've added a field to
the multipath structure (failallpaths) and I've modified the interface
of the sg_read function in libcheckers/readsector0.c.  If you prefer
that I do this with a solution which is entirely isolated to the
CLARiiON, I can do that instead.

Thanks,

Ed Goggin
