From b81aa1c79201cb424114fd198607951900babe18 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chandra Seetharaman Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2008 23:39:00 +0000 Subject: dm mpath: avoid attempting to activate null path Path activation code is called even when the pgpath is NULL. This could lead to a panic in activate_path(). Such a panic is seen in -rt kernel. This problem has been there before the pg_init() was moved to a workqueue.
