Libguestfs - Oct 2019 - [nbdkit PATCH 6/6] tests: Test retry after partial extents

Includes a rework of the previously posted patch for --run
improvements (mostly with improved comments and commit message; I
decided that waiting for the captive nbdkit to exit was overkill), and
four new patches. The tests are intentionally separate, to allow
rearranging the order of the series to see the failures being fixed.

Eric Blake (6):
  server: Propagate unexpected nbdkit failure with --run
  tests: Enhance captive test
  retry: Check next_ops->can_FOO on retry
  tests: Test for retry-readonly behavior
  retry: Avoid assertion during retried extents
  tests: Test retry after partial extents

2.21.0

When running captive, we were blindly calling kill(pid) of the captive
nbdkit child process and ignoring failures, even if that process has
already exited unexpectedly (most likely, from an assertion failure).
Thankfully, because we did not wait on the process, we are guaranteed
that the nbdkit child process is either still running or in zombie
state, so no other process can recycle the pid yet.

Merely sending SIGTERM should be enough to cause a properly-working
nbdkit to exit with status 0.  We could make the code more complex to
sleep for a bit and follow up with SIGKILL, but it's not worth
blocking the code right now (and if we do exit before the child, the
child becomes an orphan process auto-reaped by init).

While at it, fix the fact that system() can fail with a value that is
not appropriate to hand to WIFEXITED() if the child was not even
spawned, but cannot fail with WIFSTOPPED.  Prefer EXIT_FAILURE over
hard-coded 1.  Use exit() instead of _exit() to allow I/O to flush and
any atexit handlers to run. Also, reflect death from signal to a
status > 128 rather than 1 (we could be even fancier and also re-raise
the signal so that we die from the same thing, but again, it's not
obvious we need that much work...).

Test the just-fixed bug in --run failing to detect an nbdkit assertion
failure.

While at it, sleep less when we don't actually need to wait for the
socket to be opened.

2.21.0

After a retry, if the second connection has fewer permissions than the
first, but we blindly call next_ops->FOO, we end up triggering an
assertion failure in backend.c.  This is particularly noticeable when
the force_readonly flag is in effect, as that makes it much easier for
there to be fewer permissions than before.

Add testsuite coverage of pwrite to demonstrate.

Add testsuite coverage for the previous patch.  When the retry filter
forces a readonly reconnection, all subsequent attempts to read should
instantly fail without trying further reconnects.

2.21.0

If the plugin's .extents made progress before failing, retrying the
call with the original offset that differs from the offset expected by
extents will cause an assertion failure.  We have to perform each
retry iteration with a fresh extents object, and copy it on success.

The sh plugin could trigger this with an extents callback that
produces valid data followed by garbage, as will be shown in the next
patch.

Ah ha, I think this may explain why I have seen disappearing

Yes this series looks good, and also passes tests & valgrind, so:

ACK series

Thanks,

This actually needs to be <= NBDKIT_CACHE_NONE (otherwise, it penalizes 
a change between EMULATE and NATIVE).

I'm also suspecting that I'll have to check can_fua and can_fast_zero
