[dm-devel] [RFC PATCH 1/4] dm-mpath: add a path selector interface

[Kiyoshi Ueda]

This patch adds a new hook for dm path selector: start_io.
Target drivers should call this hook before submitting I/O to
the selected path.
Path selectors can use it to start accounting of the I/O.
(e.g. counting the number of in-flight I/Os.)

The code is based on the patch posted by Stefan Bader:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2005-October/msg00050.html
