[ Upstream commit d3a043733f25d743f3aa617c7f82dbcb5ee2211a ]
In current native multipath design when a shared namespace is created, we loop through each possible numa-node, calculate the NUMA distance of that node from each nvme controller and then cache the optimal IO path for future reference while sending IO. The issue with this design is that we may refer to the NUMA distance table for an offline node which may not be populated at the time and so we may inadvertently end up finding and caching a non-optimal path for IO. Then latter when the corresponding numa-node becomes online and hence the NUMA distance table entry for that node is created, ideally we should re-calculate the multipath node distance for the newly added node however that doesn't happen unless we rescan/reset the controller. So essentially, we may keep using non-optimal IO path for a node which is made online after namespace is created. This patch helps fix this issue ensuring that when a shared namespace is created, we calculate the multipath node distance for each online numa-node instead of each possible numa-node. Then latter when a node becomes online and we receive any IO on that newly added node, we would calculate the multipath node distance for newly added node but this time NUMA distance table would have been already populated for newly added node. Hence we would be able to correctly calculate the multipath node distance and choose the optimal path for the IO.
