During "service multipath-tools start" /sbin/multipath is called on dm- devices that are filtered but due to a condition conf->dev_type == DEV_DEVNODE in filtering code multipath binary wasn't dropping out when hitting a dm- device. This was due to the fact that in this case conf->dev_type is set to DEV_UEVENT.
This is causing the logs to be filled with following messages: multipath: dm-6: failed to get udev uid: Invalid argument multipath: dm-6: failed to get sysfs uid: Invalid argument multipath: dm-6: failed to get sgio uid: No such file or directory This change alows the filtering to happen.
