[dm-devel] reinstate path not working

[Tejaswini Poluri]

Hii,

We are trying to test multipath setup in our target and tried the various
commands of multipathd demaon and we find the following error:

root at x86-generic-64:~# multipathd -k"fail path sdc"; multipathd
-k'reinstate path
sdc'; multipathd -k"show paths";
[ 3962.708523] device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 8:32.
ok
ok
hcil    dev dev_t pri dm_st   chk_st   next_check
4:0:0:1 sdc 8:32  1   [active][faulty] .......... 1/20    <<<=== CHECK
5:0:0:1 sdd 8:48  1   [active][ready]  XX........ 4/20

sdc path becomes [active][ready] only after the polling interval but not
immediately after the reinstate path command.

I am observing this in latest multipath tools in ubuntu machine as well.

Please let me know if its a known issue or if I am doing something wrong.

Regards.
Tejaswini
