This is a patch to add the option of more user friendly names for the

"user_friendly_names". If set, it will cause multipath to check a bindings
file for the names. The bindings file (/var/lib/multipath/bindings) has
alias to wwid mappings. If multipath finds its wwid in the file, it uses
the associated alias. If not, it creates a new alias, and adds the binding
to the bindings file. If the config option is not set, multipath defaults
to it's regular behavior. Specific aliases in /etc/multipath.conf override

[libmultipath] fix multipath & multipathd startup corner case
I got a report about strange behaviour of "multipath -l" if one of the
devices that are used for multipathing is set offline.
In that case the code in libmultipath (discovery.c) just ends processing
and the output is incomplete.
Failing a pathinfo() now means the path is down.
If the device was really removed,
- we wouldn't discover it in multipath
- a "del" uevent would prevent further pathinfo() in multipathd

[libmultipath] load default hwtable entries not overriden by configlets
Rationale from Edward Goggin, EMC :
"
I'm wondering why when I put "device {}" entries in the multipath conf file
I
lose all of the other entries setup in the libmultipath/hwtable.c file.
Devices
which do not match the vendor and model strings of the device entries I
setup in the conf file are all forced to pick up default multipath
attributes.
This approach forces me to know the attributes for all vendor/model device
types in my SAN configuration whenever I want to setup even a small change
in the device attributes for a single device type.
I would rather see the that the entries that are setup in the conf file
simply
override the ones setup in the hwtable.c file. Yet, entries already setup
in
the hwtable.c file which are not overridden remain valid. The only devices
which pick up defaults are ones for which there is not a device entry in
either the libmultipath/hwtable.c file or the multipath conf file.

May want to patch the EMC SYMMETRIX hw entry in

[multipath] option to use priorities as weights in the round-robin scheduler
Disabled by default.
Synthax is "rr_weight = priorities", and is valid in the default{},
device{} and multipath{} blocks.
This is an interim solution before a cleaner "least queued scheduler".
To make this complete, the daemon should be able to "message" DM to
change the path weights when their prio changes. Probably not worth the
effort and spend time on another scheduler.
The core of this patch is in the multipath table setup :
if (mp->rr_weight && pp->priority)
minio = conf->rr_minio * pp->priority;
The rest is the config switch handling, and printing.
