2005-07-12[PATCH] device-mapper multipath: Fix pg initialisation racesAlasdair G Kergon
Prevent more than one priority group initialisation function from being outstanding at once. Otherwise the completion functions interfere with each other. Also, reloading the table could reference a freed pointer. Only reset queue_io in pg_init_complete if another pg_init isn't required. Skip process_queued_ios if the queue is empty so that we only trigger a pg_init if there's I/O.

2005-07-12[PATCH] device-mapper multipath: Avoid possible suspension deadlockAlasdair G Kergon
To avoid deadlock when suspending a multipath device after all its paths have failed, stop queueing any I/O that is about to fail *before* calling freeze_bdev instead of after. Instead of setting a multipath 'suspended' flag which would have to be reset if an error occurs during the process, save the previous queueing state and leave userspace to restore if it wishes.

2005-07-12[PATCH] device-mapper multipath: Flush workqueue when destroyingAlasdair G Kergon
The multipath destructor must flush its workqueue. Otherwise items that reference the destroyed object could remain.

2005-06-08[PATCH] dm: Handle READA requests in dm-mpath.cLars Marowsky-Bree
READA errors failing with EWOULDBLOCK/EAGAIN do not constitute a valid reason for failing the path; this lead to erratic errors on DM multipath devices. This error can be safely propagated upwards without failing the path.

2005-05-05[PATCH] device-mapper multipath: Use private workqueueAlasdair G Kergon
dm-mpath.c needs to use a private workqueue (like other dm targets already do) to avoid interfering with users of the default workqueue.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
