Fixed In Version: device-mapper-multipath-0.8.4-8.el8 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: mpath_persistent_reserve_in and mpath_persistent_reserve_out stopped being thread safe with device-mapper-multipath-0.8.3 Consequence: multithreaded applications that called mpath_persistent_reserve_in or mpath_persistent_reserve_out in multiple threads at the same time could crash. Fix: mpath_persistent_reserve_in and mpath_persistent_reserve_out are now thread safe again Result: multithreaded applications can safely call mpath_persistent_reserve_in and mpath_persistent_reserve_out in multiple threads at the same time.
