[PATCH v5 25/27] scsi: sd: add mpath_dev file

From: John Garry

Date: Mon Jul 27 2026 - 11:11:18 EST


Add a mpath_dev file so that the multipath disk can be looked up from
per-path scsi_disk directory.

The following is an example of this usage:

$ ls -l /dev/sdc
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 32 Feb 24 16:08 /dev/sdc
$ cat /sys/class/scsi_mpath_disk/scsi_mpath_disk0/sdc/multipath/sdc:0/mpath_dev
8:32

This can be used by a util like lsscsi, which would find that the gendisk
for the per-path scsi_disk is missing.
