[dm-devel] [PATCH] dm-delay: Add a message to change delay

Hi


Flush with suspend is an optional feature.

You could  'dmsetup suspend --noflush'  so IMHO there is no need for
message support - you just load new table line
and go through suspend resume (resume should be enough)

Messages are normally used for something unrelated to table line,
for table line args - you should go with standard table line load
(so dmsetup table always shows correct value)

Regards

Zdenek
