In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:

[Impact]

 * Multipath can cause segmentation fault due to wrong code and can
   possibly cause user to loose access to multipath devices.

[Test Case]

 * To use multipath and wait for the problem to occur sometime (inevitable).

[Regression Potential]

 * Patch 1/4 tries to fix the issue. Patch 2/4 fixes the 1/4.
 * Patch 3/4 discovers 1/4 was no good. Patch 4/4 fixes 3/4.

 * Fix based on upstream code (96f8146) + subsequent patches.
 * Followed this code development until the issue was addressed.

[Changelog]

  * Added 0001-libmultipath-update-waiter-handling.patch (LP: #1354114)
  * Added 0002-Race-condition-when-calling-stop_waiter_thread.patch (LP: #1354114)
  * Added 0003-multipath-clean-up-code-for-stopping-the-waiter-thre.patch (LP: #1354114)
  * Added 0004-Fix-race-condition-in-stop_waiter_thread.patch (LP: #1354114)

[Fix]

Fix from upstream: 

The current 'waiter' structure accesses fields which belong
to the main 'mpp' structure, which has a totally different
lifetime.

Thanks for considering the patch.
