dm: fix reload failure of 0 path multipath mapping on blk-mq devices
dm-multipath accepts 0 path mapping. # echo '0 2097152 multipath 0 0 0 0' | dmsetup create newdev Such a mapping can be used to release underlying devices while still holding requests in its queue until working paths come back. However, once the multipath device is created over blk-mq devices, it rejects reloading of 0 path mapping: # echo '0 2097152 multipath 0 0 1 1 queue-length 0 1 1 /dev/sda 1' \ | dmsetup create mpath1 # echo '0 2097152 multipath 0 0 0 0' | dmsetup load mpath1 device-mapper: reload ioctl on mpath1 failed: Invalid argument Command failed With following kernel message: device-mapper: ioctl: can't change device type after initial table load. DM tries to inherit the current table type using dm_table_set_type() but it doesn't work as expected because of unnecessary check about whether the target type is hybrid or not. Hybrid type is for targets that work as either request-based or bio-based and not required for blk-mq or non blk-mq checking.
