[PATCH 05/24] scsi-multipath: provide sysfs link from to scsi_device
From: John Garry
Date: Wed Feb 25 2026 - 10:41:32 EST
Provide a link in sysfs from a scsi_mpath_device to member scsi_device's.
An example is as follows:
# ls -l /sys/class/scsi_mpath_device/0/multipath/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Feb 24 12:01 8:0:0:0 -> ../../../../platform/host8/session1/target8:0:0/8:0:0:0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Feb 24 12:01 9:0:0:0 -> ../../../../platform/host9/session2/target9:0:0/9:0:0:0
