multipath: update discovery for sysfs layout changes
PATCH 1/1 multipath: update discovery for sysfs layout changes
Hi Christophe,
this patch updates the discovery to work when SYSFS_DEPRECATED is not set. The change here is that the parent of a block device is 'block', and the 'real' parent is the parent of that. Easy and non-intrusive change.
Please apply.
Cheers,
Hannes

Update discovery to work with new sysfs layout
With the new sysfs layout the parent device of a block device it 'block', and only the parent of this is the 'real' parent.
