...op? Is the existing idea of a VALID|FREE parameter not sufficient? If we can convince the C bindings for python nbd.aio_pread to increase the refcount of buf, and then install a C completion handler (whether the python user called nbd.aio_pread with no python completer, or whether they called nbd.aio_pread_complete) that does the decref when called with FREE, then that would do the same job, even without the need for nbd_add_free_callback, wouldn't it? And there's no issue of scanning through a list of pointers with a free callback associated with them (storing registered pointers with some sort of...
