Debugging notes:

       name = udev_device_get_sysname(parent);
        if (sscanf(name, "%d:%d:%d:%d", &host, &bus, &target, &lun) != 4)
                return NULL;

This works fine, host is "10" in the scsi_debug case above.

But then the code below which does "Rebase host offset to get the local
relative number" turns host into a "0" as 10 is the smallest host number
on that device. This code is a bit dubious to me, I'll ask Kay.

** Summary changed:

- /dev/disk/by-path link for scsi disks always has host "0", causing conflicts
+ [udev] /dev/disk/by-path link for scsi disks always has host "0", causing conflicts

Title:
  [udev] /dev/disk/by-path link for scsi disks always has host "0",
  causing conflicts

Status in “systemd” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The /dev/disk/by-path links to scsi disks are supposed to be of the
  form "scsi-$host:$bus:$device$lun".  The host portion is always zero,
  leading to duplicates from different hosts.  It appears these numbers
  are pulled from ID_PATH, and I can't figure out where this variable
  comes from.

  I noticed this while playing around with the lio fake scsi target
  adapter.  Here is the full udev info on a disk created on such an
  adapter.  As you can see, it has been assigned scsi host id 13, so
  that is what it should be using for the $host digit, rather than zero.
