Hi Christophe, hi Ben,

This is part V of a larger patch series for multipath-tools I've been preparing.
It's based on the previously submitted part IV.

The full series will also be available here:
https://github.com/mwilck/multipath-tools/tree/ups/submit-2007

There are tags in that repo for each part of the series.
This part is tagged "submit-200709-5".

The series addresses several issues with missing, unintialized, and removed
paths. The motivation was that I strongly dislike the side effects of
disassemble_map(), adding paths and setting WWIDs while parsing map
parameters. IMO this has always been a layering violation. This patch set adds
a new function dedicated to handling paths which have not been detected via
udev but are present as members of dm maps. That makes it much easier to
track and improve the logic applied when such devices are detected.

I believe that the new logic will also fix the issue recently reported by
Chongyun ("libmultipath/dmparser: add missing path with good status when sync
state with dm kernel"). At least, the approach is very similar, although
the call to pathinfo() for new devices now happens in update_pathvec_from_dm()
rather than in disassemble_map().

The patch set also gets rid of the "is_daemon" argument for disassemble_map(),
causing semantics in daemon and non-daemon mode. The reason for this parameter
goes way back into history; it was avoiding to re-add manually removed paths
because they were still showing up in maps. But OTOH we must add missing
devices which we've failed to detect. The patch set handles this by tracking
the state of "being removed" as a new init state, and only actually removing
the paths from pathvec when they don't show up in maps any more.

Regards
Martin
