[dm-devel] [PATCH 06/12] multipathd: fix device creation issues

Right now, devices created by multipath and added to multipthd via
ev_add_map() are setup up incorrectly until the first time they get
reloaded.  setup_map() is not run on these devices, which means that all
of the multipath variables set up there don't get initialized until a
later reload.  Also, adopt_paths is run to pull in any paths that the
device is missing, but the device is never reloaded afterwards, so these
paths aren't used.

Now, add_map_without_path() sets up the basic multipath device variables
and then calls update_map() to finish the setup and reload the device.
This patch also moves the code in __setup_multipath(), that only existed
to handle adding devices via ev_add_map(), to where it belongs.

However, it is possible to create a device with no paths, which means
the device cannot know which hwentry to use for its device
configuration.  __setup_multipath() used to help with this via
extract_hwe_from_path(), which grabbed the hwentry from a path if the
multipath device didn't already have it set. This is now done both when
paths are added or the map is updated, which means that
extract_hwe_from_path() runs before the device is configured in
setup_map() instead of after the table has already been loaded. This is
a good thing. But because of this, it can't check the dmstate or the
pathgroup state.  I don't believe it's necessary to care what state the
path is in, especially now that we use libudev. The vendor and product
information gets cached by libudev when the path device is first added,
and should remain the same regardless of whether or not the device is
currently up.  My version does try to take the hwe information from a
path in the PATH_UP state first, but this is mostly to satisfy the
paranoia of the old version.

Also, map_discovery(), which creates multipath devices during multipathd
startup and reconfiguration, that only exist to see if multipathd needs
to reload the device table, called __setup_multipath() as well. Even
after removing the unnecessary code from __setup_multpiath, that still
does pointless work for these devices, which will be removed before the
end of configure(). Now, map_discovery() just gets the necessary kernel
information to make the correct call in select_action().
