vdev_id: Create symlinks even if no /dev/mapper/ #11698

Motivation and Context

Fix vdev_id not working on some nodes.

Description

vdev_id uses the /dev/mapper/ symlinks to resolve a UUID to a dm name (like dm-1). However on some multipath setups, there is no /dev/mapper/ entry for the UUID at the time vdev_id is called by udev. However, this isn't necessarily needed, as we may be able to resolve the dm name from the $DEVNAME that udev passes us (like DEVNAME="/dev/dm-1").

This patch tries to resolve the dm name from $DEVNAME first, before falling back to looking in /dev/mapper/. This fixed an issue where the by-vdev names weren't reliably showing up on one of our nodes.

How Has This Been Tested?

Tested on one RHEL 8 node where the by-vdev links weren't being created at boot time, and verified that this fixed it. Also saw it fix the reproducer case of removing/reloading the multipath devices (multipath -F && multipath -r). Further sanity tested on two other enclosures type nodes.

Types of changes

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Performance enhancement (non-breaking change which improves efficiency)
  • Code cleanup (non-breaking change which makes code smaller or more readable)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
  • Library ABI change (libzfs, libzfs_core, libnvpair, libuutil and libzfsbootenv)
  • Documentation (a change to man pages or other documentation)
