dm ioctl: allow message to return data

2013-03-01T22:45:49Z

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 Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon

dm ioctl: optimize functions without variable params

2013-03-01T22:45:49Z

Device-mapper ioctls receive and send data in a buffer supplied by userspace. The buffer has two parts. The first part contains a 'struct dm_ioctl' and has a fixed size. The second part depends on the ioctl and has a variable size. This patch recognises the specific ioctls that do not use the variable part of the buffer and skips allocating memory for it. In particular, when a device is suspended and a resume ioctl is sent, this now avoid memory allocation completely. The variable "struct dm_ioctl tmp" is moved from the function copy_params to its caller ctl_ioctl and renamed to param_kernel. It is used directly when the ioctl function doesn't need any arguments.

dm ioctl: remove PF_MEMALLOC
