Title:
using a blacklist and a blacklist_exception section results in
multipathd filtering out paths it shouldn't
Status in “multipath-tools” package in Ubuntu:

Status in “multipath-tools” source package in Lucid:

Bug description:
Binary package hint: multipath-tools
The issue is due to a bug in some if/then logic in
blacklist.c:_filter_path resulting in the routine returning a value
other then 0 for anything found on the exceptions list.
SRU Justification:
1. Impact: a config which (correctly) finds an entry both in blacklist and blacklist exceptions will not honor the exception
2. How bug was addressed: an upstream fix was pulled in. The root cause was that return values from functions checking existence in blacklists were being misinterpreted.
3. Minimal patch: see debdiff in comment #6.
4. TEST CASE: Create a multipath config with /dev/sda in both blacklist and blacklist exception. /dev/sda won't be used.
5. Regression potential: this commit has been upstream since 2007, so should cause no regressions.
