Yes. I do plan on doing some more testing after I look into making
libdevmapper support re-arming the polling interface and grabbing the
event number from the names listing, before I repost this without the
RFC tag. I was also thinking of trying out cmocka by mocking up a
device-mapper interface that let me test this code in isolation.

Mostly because it was faster, and I wanted to get to testing it. The
other reason is that I don't see any benefit for the work involved in
making this be changeable in

# multipathd reconfigure

However, we already have configuration settings that can't get changed
on reconfigure, so making this another one is not a big deal. I agree
that it is easier for users to change if it is a configuration setting,
but I'm hoping that this change will be invisible to users. If you would
prefer it as a configuration setting, I have no problem with changing
that.

Is this a naming complaint, or an interface complaint?  I'm fine with
changing the names so they follow the lead of checkers and prio, i.e.
init_dmevents_waiter() and cleanup_dmevents_waiter(). The init and
cleanup functions for checkers and prio have the same returns as the
dmevent functions (well the init functions return 1 for failure, and I
can do that as well)

Since there is only ever going to be one dmevent waiter thread running,
I'm not sure what the rest of multipathd gains by returning a pointer to
its data structure. It would be extra work to make multipathd store and
pass this data structure on calls to watch or unwatch devices, for no
benefit that I can see. If you see a good reason for doing this, I'm
open to being convinced otherwise.

I was originally going to make this allocation and deallocation happen
when starting and shutting down the thread, but I through that not doing
this would allow me to create and join the threads directly in child(),
like most of the other threads. Also it would allow me to initialize the
data structure without having to start a thread, which seemed useful
for unit testing.

It is the DM_EXISTS_FLAG. It's defined in libdm/ioctl/libdm-iface.c in
the lvm2 source.  It is unconditionally set on all dm control ioctls
from libdevmapper by _do_dm_ioctl() (also in libdm/ioctl/libdm-iface.c).
I don't know the reason for this. I don't see anything that uses it in
driver/md/dm-ioctl.c, and I see that line in the libdm source has a
/* FIXME */ next to it. On the other hand, all I'm trying to do here is
run the same ioctl that libdevmapper would if it supported this command,
and there may well be a reason for it that I'm missing.
