[dm-devel] [multipath tools] pgp->priority average calculation

[Mike Christie]

Hey Ben and Hannes and Christophe,

Happy multipath-tools patch submission day :)

I had a question on the pgp->priority average calculation and its
display to the user.


Ben, you added the patch

    multipath: sort all pathgroups by priority


which did

-               avg_priority = pgp->priority / pgp->enabled_paths;
-       return snprint_int(buff, len, avg_priority);
+


but then Hannes later added the patch:


commit 750db1f0dc08bf1d96ce64d32786dfe07b8ae3f9

    Display avg priority as group priority


which added it back in the print code:


-       return snprint_int(buff, len, pgp->priority);
+       if (pgp->enabled_paths)
+               avg_priority = pgp->priority / pgp->enabled_paths;
+       return snprint_int(buff, len, avg_priority);


So when we print the prio, it ends up getting divided by the number of
enabled paths twice.


Was Hannes's patch a mistake? Should it be reverted?
