[PATCH] extras multipath update

An important one, against stock udev-009 :

 2003-12-20 multipath-010
        * big ChangeLog update
        * start to give a little control over target params :
          introduce cmdline arg -i to control polling interval
        * cope with hotplug-style calling convention :
          ie "multipath scsi $DEVPATH" ... to avoid messing with
          online maps not concerned by an event
        * example hotplug agent to drop in /etc/hotplug.d/scsi
        * revert the run & resched patch : unless someone proves me
          wrong, this was overdesigned
        * move commented out functions in unused.c
        * update multipath target params to "udm[23] style"
        * mp target now supports nr_path == 1, so do we
        * add gratuitous free()
        * push version forward

+2003-12-15 multipath-009
+	* Make the HW-specific get_unique_id switch pretty
+	* Prepare to field-test by whitelisting all known fibre array,
+	  try to fetch WWID from the standard EVPD 0x83 off 8 for everyone
+	* configure the multipath target with round-robin path selector and
+	  conservative default for a start (udm1 style) :
+	  yes it makes this release the firstreally useful one.
+	* temporarily disable map creation for single path device
+	  due to current restrictive defaults in the kernel target.
+	  Sistina should work it out.
+	* correct the strncmp logic in blacklist function.
+	* update the Makefiles to autodetect libgcc.a & gcc includes
+	  "ulibc-style". Factorisation of udevdirs & others niceties
+	* drop a hint about absent /dev/sd? on failed open()
+	* implement a reschedule flag in /var/run.
+	  Last thing the prog do before exit is check if a call to multipath
+	  was done (but canceled by /var/run/multipath.run check) during its
+	  execution. If so restart themain loop.
+	* implement a blacklist of sysfs bdev to not bother with for now
+	  (hd,md, dm, sr, scd, ram, raw).
+	  This avoid sending SG_IO to unappropiate devices.
+	* Adds a /var/run/multipath.run handling to avoid simultaneous runs.
+	* Remove a commented-out "printf"
+	* drop a libdevmapper copy in extras/multipath;
+	  maybe discussions w/Sistina folks will bring a better solution in the future.
+	* drop a putchar usage in libdevmapper to compile cleanly with klibc
+	* drop another such usage of my own in main.c
+	* massage the Makefile to compile libdevmapper against klibc
+	* use "ld" to produce the binary rather than "gcc -static"
+	* stop being stupid w/ uneeded major, minor & dev in main.c:dm_mk_node()
+	* reverse to creating striped target for now because the multipath target
+	  is more hairy than expected initialy
+	* push the version code to 009 to be in synch w/ udev
+2003-11-27 multipath-007
+	* removes sg_err.[ch] deps
+	* makes sure the core code play nice with klibc
+	* port the sysfs calls to dlist helpers
+	* links against udev's sysfs (need libsysfs.a & dlist.a)
+	* finally define DM_TARGET as "multipath" as Joe posted the code today (not tested yet)
+	* push version forward (do you want it in sync with udev version?)
+2003-11-19
+	* merged in udev-006 tree
 2003-09-18  Christophe Varoqui <christophe.varoqui@free.fr>
 	* multipath 0.0.1 released.
 	* Initial release.
