This patch allows a failed path group initialisation command to be retried. It adds a generic MP_RETRY flag and a "pg_init_retries" feature to device-mapper multipath which limits the number of retries. 1. A hw handler sends a path initialization command to the storage and the command completes with an error code indicating the command should be retried. 2. The hardware handler calls dm_pg_init_complete() with MP_RETRY set in err_flags to ask the dm multipath core to retry. 3. If the retry limit has not been exceeded, pg_init() is retried. Otherwise fail_path() is called. If you are using the userspace multipath-tools or device-mapper-multipath package, you can set pg_init_retries in the 'device' section of your /etc/multipath.conf file. For example: features "2 pg_init_retries 7" The number of PG retries attempted is reported in the 'dmsetup status' output.
