The window will be still there, but smaller than before.

[dm-devel] [RFC PATCH 3/5] call start_waiter_thread() before setup_multipath()

2018-02-09 Thread Benjamin Marzinski
If setup_multipath() is called before the waiter thread has started,
there is a window where a dm event can occur between when
setup_multipath() updates the device state and when the waiter thread
starts waiting for new events, causing the new event to be missed and
the multipath device to not get updated.
