dm ioctl: allow message to return data
This patch introduces enhanced message support that allows the device-mapper core to recognise messages that are common to all devices, and for messages to return data to userspace. Core messages are processed by the function "message_for_md". If the device mapper doesn't support the message, it is passed to the target driver. If the message returns data, the kernel sets the flag DM_MESSAGE_OUT_FLAG. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
