Our mpath stack device is just a shim that selects a bottom namespace and submits the bio to it without any fancy splitting. This also means that we don't clone the bio or have any context to the bio beyond submission. However it really sucks that we don't see the mpath device io stats. Given that the mpath device can't do that without adding some context to it, we let the bottom device do it on its behalf (somewhat similar to the approach taken in nvme_trace_bio_complete). When the IO starts, we account the request for multipath IO stats using REQ_NVME_MPATH_IO_STATS nvme_request flag to avoid queue io stats disable in the middle of the request.

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.
