[PATCH 03/24] scsi-multipath: introduce scsi_device head structure
From: John Garry
Date: Wed Feb 25 2026 - 10:55:41 EST
Introduce a scsi_device head structure - scsi_mpath_head - to manage
multipathing for a scsi_device. This is similar to nvme_ns_head structure.
There is no reference in scsi_mpath_head to any disk, as this would be
mananged by the scsi_disk driver.
A list of scsi_mpath_head structures is managed to lookup for matching
multipathed scsi_device's. Matching is done through the scsi_device
unique id.
