[PATCH v6 09/27] libmultipath: Add mpath_bdev_getgeo()

From: John Garry

Date: Wed Jul 29 2026 - 07:08:27 EST


From: John Garry <john.garry@xxxxxxxxx>

Add mpath_bdev_getgeo() as a multipath block device .getgeo handler.

Here we just redirect into the selected mpath_device disk fops->getgeo
handler.
