Symptoms

In /etc/multipath.conf, when path_checker is set to directio

For example,

device {
vendor "Vendor_name"
product "product_name"
...
path_checker directio <=============== path_checker is set to directio
...}

 the aio-nr value increases.

#cat /proc/sys/fs/aio-*
4200000 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> aio-max-nr
4570000 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> aio-nr

However, if  commenting the path_checker in multipath.conf,

#path_checker directio

Restart the multipathd service. the output shows the aio-nr decrease.

#cat /proc/sys/fs/aio-*
4200000 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> aio-max-nr
