Right.

One thing I don't understand in the current scheme is why io are not
rerouted by the DM multipath target between the LOOP_DOWN and the rport
target removal ...

If io could get rerouted within a few seconds, we could set a target
removal multi-minutes timer, which should cover most reasonable SAN
failure scenarii.
