We have user space daemon(Broadcom'sFiber Channel Transport Daemon) called
fctxpd (Benjamin was talking in his patch) which acts on fpin-li events
by listening  on NETLINK_SCSITRANSPORT socket
And it sets the path to marginal path group on receiving FPIN events.
This daemon is part of epel8.
Below is the path for the same where we have changes
