Currently, the configuration data for a path is retrieved during a path verification and used only temporarily. If a path is newly added to the I/O setup after a boot, no configuration data will be stored for this particular path. However, this data is required for later use and should be present for a valid I/O path anyway. Store this data during the path verification so that newly added paths can provide all information necessary.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
