Not sure where you sent your first email.. not seeing it on dm-devel
archives.

So I don't have the original screenshot you attached.

The 4.5 merge window didn't see any changes to DM mpath or DM core.  So
any regression is very likely outside DM and rooted in SRP or whatever
other dependencies your setup relies on.
