From 510193a2d3d2e03ae53b95c0ae4f33cdff02cbf8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Snitzer Date: Sat, 12 May 2012 01:43:21 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] dm mpath: check if scsi_dh module already loaded before trying to load If the requested scsi_dh module is already loaded then skip request_module(). Multipath table loads can hang in an unnecessary __request_module.
