** Description changed: + [Impact] + + * During "service multipath-tools start" /sbin/multipath is + called on dm- devices that are filtered but due to a condition + conf->dev_type == DEV_DEVNODE in filtering code multipath + binary wasn't dropping out when hitting a dm- device. This + was due to the fact that in this case conf->dev_type is + set to DEV_UEVENT. It also happens during a fail-over event. + + This is causing the logs to be filled with following + messages: + + multipath: dm-6: failed to get udev uid: Invalid argument + multipath: dm-6: failed to get sysfs uid: Invalid argument + multipath: dm-6: failed to get sgio uid: No such file or directory + + * Fix should be backported to xenial to avoid more support + issues being filed. + + * This change alows the filtering to happen. + + [Test Case] + + * install multipath-tools, create a basic multipath.conf with + dm- filtering rule. Run: "service multipath-tools start" + and check the log + + [Regression Potential] + + * There should be no regression potential with this change, the filtering + only allows the code to not traverse the error path. + + + [Original Description] + During a path loss event, the syslog is showing these messages where prior to the recent upgrade to multipath-tools I didn't see anything - like this. To me this seems like either a problem or it seems like a + like this. To me this seems like either a problem or it seems like a print message that should go into a different log file.
