Do not allow saving disabled queue_if_no_path if already saved as enabled; implies multiple suspends (which shouldn't ever happen). Log if this unlikely scenario is ever triggered. Also, only write MPATHF_SAVED_QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH during presuspend or if "fail_if_no_path" message. MPATHF_SAVED_QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH is no longer always modified, e.g.: even if queue_if_no_path()'s save_old_value argument wasn't set. This just implies a bit tighter control over the management of MPATHF_SAVED_QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH. Side-effect is multipath_resume() doesn't reset MPATHF_QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH unless MPATHF_SAVED_QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH was set (during presuspend); and at that time the MPATHF_SAVED_QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH bit gets cleared. So MPATHF_SAVED_QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH's use is much more narrow in scope. Last, but not least, do _not_ disable queue_if_no_path during noflush suspend. There is no need/benefit to saving off queue_if_no_path via MPATHF_SAVED_QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH and clearing MPATHF_QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH for noflush suspend -- by avoiding this needless queue_if_no_path flag churn there is less potential for MPATHF_QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH to get lost. Which avoids potential for IOs to be errored back up to userspace during DM multipath's handling of path failures. That said, this last change papers over a reported issue concerning request-based dm-multipath's interaction with blk-mq, relative to suspend and resume: multipath_endio is being called _before_ multipath_resume. This should never happen if DM suspend's blk_mq_quiesce_queue() + dm_wait_for_completion() is genuinely waiting for all inflight blk-mq requests to complete. Similarly: drivers/md/dm.c:__dm_resume() clearly calls dm_table_resume_targets() _before_ dm_start_queue()'s blk_mq_unquiesce_queue() is called. If the queue isn't even restarted until after multipath_resume(); the BIG question that still needs answering is: how can multipath_end_io beat multipath_resume in a race!?

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.
