[dm-devel] [PATCH v2 0/4] Add "reconfigure all" multipath command

[Benjamin Marzinski]

This patchset is supposed to replace Martin's

multipathd: add "force_reconfigure" option

patch from his uxlsnr overhaul patchset. It also makes the default
reconfigure be a weak reconfigure, but instead of adding a configuration
option to control this, it adds a new multipathd command,
"reconfigure all", to do a full reconfigure. The HUP signal is left
doing only weak reconfigures.

In order to keep from having two states that are handled nearly
identically, the code adds an extra variable to track the type of
configuration that was selected, but this could easily be switch to
use a new DAEMON_CONFIGURE_ALL state instead.

The final patch, that added the new command, is meant to apply on top of
Martin's changed client handler code. I can send one that works with the
current client handler code, if people would rather review that.

Changes in v2:

4/4: Added text to the multipathd man page to explain the two types of
     reconfigure.

Benjamin Marzinski (4):
  multipathd: move delayed_reconfig out of struct config
  multipathd: remove reconfigure from header file.
  multipathd: pass in the type of reconfigure
  multipathd: add "reconfigure all" command.
