[dm-devel] [PATCH 04/10] retrigger uevents to try and get the uid through udev

Ideally, udev will be able to grab the wwid when a path device is
discovered, but sometimes this isn't possible. In these cases, the
best thing that could happen would be for udev to actually get the
information, and add it to its database. This patch makes multipath
retrigger uevents a limited number of times before giving up and
trying to get the information itself.
There are two configurables that control how it does this,
"retrigger_tries" and "retrigger_delay". The first sets the number of
times it will try to retrigger a uevent to get the wwid, the second
sets the amount of time to wait between retriggers.
This patch currently only tries reinitializing the path on change events
after multipathd has triggered a change event, and it only tries once
per triggered change event. Now, its possible that other change events
could occur on the device without multipathd tirggering them. As the
patch stands now, it won't try to initialize the device on those. It will,
however still try in the checkerloop, but only after it has finished
retriggering the uevents. We could be much more aggressive here, and assume
that devices that simply won't have a WWID should already be taken care of
by the blacklists, so it would be always a good idea to recheck devices on
change events. What would be ideal is if udev would let us know when it had
problems or timed out when processing a uevent, so we would know if
retiggering the uevent would be useful.
