dm flakey: add drop_writes
Add 'drop_writes' option to drop writes silently while the device is 'down'. Reads are not touched. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>

+This target is the same as the linear target except that it exhibits
+unreliable behaviour periodically. It's been found useful in simulating
+failing devices for testing purposes.
Starting from the time the table is loaded, the device is available for
-<up interval> seconds, then returns errors for <down interval> seconds,
-and then this cycle repeats.
+<up interval> seconds, then exhibits unreliable behaviour for <down
+interval> seconds, and then this cycle repeats.
-Parameters: <dev path> <offset> <up interval> <down interval>
+Also, consider using this in combination with the dm-delay target too,
+which can delay reads and writes and/or send them to different
+underlying devices.
+
+Table parameters
+----------------
+ <dev path> <offset> <up interval> <down interval> \
+ [<num_features> [<feature arguments>]]
+
+Mandatory parameters:
<dev path>: Full pathname to the underlying block-device, or a
"major:minor" device-number.
<offset>: Starting sector within the device.
<up interval>: Number of seconds device is available.
<down interval>: Number of seconds device returns errors.
+
+Optional feature parameters:
+ If no feature parameters are present, during the periods of
+ unreliability, all I/O returns errors.
+
+ drop_writes:
+ All write I/O is silently ignored.
+ Read I/O is handled correctly.
