Libguestfs - Sep 2020 - [libnbd PATCH v2 5/5] api: Add STRICT_BOUNDS/ZERO_SIZE to nbd_set_strict_mode

In v2:
- now based on my proposal to add LIBNBD_SHUTDOWN_IMMEDIATE
- four flags instead of two: STRICT_FLAGS is new (patch 4),
and STRICT_BOUNDS is separate from STRICT_ZERO_SIZE (patch 5)
- various refactorings for more shared code and less duplication

Eric Blake (5):
  api: Add xxx_MASK constant for each Flags type
  generator: Refactor filtering of accepted OFlags
  api: Add nbd_set_strict_mode
  api: Add STRICT_FLAGS to set_strict_mode
  api: Add STRICT_BOUNDS/ZERO_SIZE to nbd_set_strict_mode

2.28.0

Document and make it easier for applications to determine which
bitmask values were supported at compile time.  Also, generating
bitmask values in hex tends to be more legible than in decimal, as it
makes it obvious that the values are intended for bitwise operations.
And it doesn't hurt that this reduces churn in some of the tests if
new bits are added.

Rather than having to open-code the list of accepted command flags in
the unlocked version of each command, we can store that information in
the generator to produce the check directly in the public API.

2.28.0

Right now, libnbd has refused to issue a command not advertised as
supported by a server, mainly because the NBD protocol does not
guarantee what the server will do, and libnbd would rather stay in
sync with the server than drop the connection.  However, for
integration purposes, it can be handy to coerce libnbd into sending
something to see how the server will react (whether it be an extension
libnbd has not yet learned, or an intentional bad request to test
server error handling).  Time to make this something the user can
control, by adding a new strictness mode.  Later patches will add
more knobs to the mode.

The next strict knob: allow the user to pass unknown flags across the
wire (this is different than passing a known flag at the wrong time).

It is interesting to note that NBD only permits 16 bits of flags, but
we have a signature that takes uint32_t; if we wanted, we could pack
libnbd-specific flags in the upper bits that the NBD protocol would
never see.

2.28.0

The NBD protocol states that a 0-length request is undefined; we were
inconsistent in that we let it through for read, write, and cache, but
blocked it for trim, zero, and block_status.  The NBD protocol also
has documented rules on handling access beyond EOF, but we are
currently wasting traffic to the server when we can give the same
answer ourselves.  Exposing these as two more strictness knobs gives
the user finer-grained control over what behavior they want.

You might want to put these two hunks in a separate commit since I
believe it's a clean up and so could be a candidate for cherry-picking
to the stable branch.

- - -

I looked over the rest of this patch and it all looks sensible and a
nice new feature, so ACK.

Rich.

This is fine ACK.

About the "guard" change: I probably would have put that change in a
separate commit.  Also you could consider having a default_flags
parameter to avoid having to set guard = None everywhere, although you
would still have to make a one-off change to every *_flags.  It would
look like this:

  let default_flags = { flag_prefix = ""; guard = None; flags = [] }
  ...
  let handshake_flags = {
    default_flags with
      flag_prefix = "HANDSHAKE_FLAG";
      flags = [ ... ]
  }

(We already do this with "default_call").  Neither of these is a big
deal
though.
