Whiteboard:
Fixed In Version: device-mapper-multipath-0.4.9-78.el7 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: If multipathd failed to add a multipath device, in some circumstances, it was freeing the alias, and then accessing it and attempting to free it again. Consequence: multipathd would crash if it tried to add a multipath device that was too large for it to handle (and far too large to be practical in a real world application) Fix: multipathd no longer frees the alias twice, or attempts to access the freed alias. Result: multipathd no longer crashes when it fails to add a multipath device.
