Commit Message

Benjamin Marzinski April 14, 2022, 4:27 a.m. UTC
Some storage arrays can be accessed using multiple protocols at the same
time.  In these cases, users may want to set path attributes
differently, depending on the protocol that the path is using. To allow
this, add a protocol subsection to the overrides section in
multipath.conf, which allows select path-specific options to be set.
This commit simply adds the subsection, and handles merging matching
entries. Future patches will make use of the section.

Looks good, just a minor nit below.

Use a symbolic value, like PCE_INVALID?

As this is really minor and I'm going to be out of office next week:

Reviewed-by: Martin Wilck <mwilck@suse.com>

... and I'm going to push this series to my "queue" branch.

Perhaps you want to send an add-on patch with a symbolic value later.

Regards
Martin
