From fd81bc5cca8fc6936a8988de6b5d4c5693b6587e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benjamin Marzinski Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2025 20:00:15 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] scsi: device_handler: Return error pointer in scsi_dh_attached_handler_name() If scsi_dh_attached_handler_name() fails to allocate the handler name, dm-multipath (its only caller) assumes there is no attached device handler, and sets the device up incorrectly. Return an error pointer instead, so multipath can distinguish between failure, success where there is no attached device handler, or when the path device is not a SCSI device at all.
