[PATCH 4.16 167/279] nvme/multipath: Disable runtime writable enabling parameter

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jun 18 2018 - 05:40:52 EST


4.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Keith Busch <keith.busch@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 5cadde8019a6a80550fdde92d5a3327565974eab ]

We can't allow the user to change multipath settings at runtime, as this
will create naming conflicts due to the different naming schemes used
for each mode.
