[dm-devel] [PATCH 4/4] multipathd: don't resend change events for unknown devices

[Benjamin Marzinski]

If multipath fails to get the wwid for a device, and the device is
of an unknown type (pp->bus == SYSFS_BUS_UNDEF), don't send change
events. Instead, assume that the device was not meant to be used
and skip it.
