[dm-devel] [PATCH v2 3/9] libmultipath: alua: try to retrieve inquiry data from sysfs

[Martin Wilck]

This can avoid IO while configuring the path prioritizer.
The alua prioritizer avoids reading from sysfs for a reason
(see commit 7e2f46d3), but this applies only to RTPG / STPG,
not to INQUIRY calls.
