Supported parameters are easily discoverable via query-commands. If
individual block devices support different sets of parameters then
they may have to return -ENOTSUPP.


I am not able to find how "query-commands" is helping out
to programmatically find out all the supported parameters
of a specific command. When I tried out, "query-commands"
is listing all the supported command names. "query-xx" is
returning current settings related to command 'xx',
but not any information related to supported parameters
of 'xx'.
Am I missing something?


ok, I got it. "query commands" is not supposed to list out
supported params for each command. Each block device parameter
setting, when implemented as separate high level command, will
get listed through query-commands. And this helps user to
identify supported block parameters that can be changed.

But we don't have blockdev_add today, so whatever works for your as a
temporary solution...
