I want to make my nbd forwarding plugin fully parallel - but to do that, I first need to make nbdkit itself fully parallel ;) With this series, I was finally able to demonstrate out-of-order responses when using qemu-io (which is great at sending back-to-back requests prior to waiting for responses) coupled with the nbd file plugin (which has a great feature of rdelay and wdelay, to make it

I'm still working on the interleaving (and Rich reminded me on IRC that we still don't have THREAD_MODEL_PARALLEL working anywhere yet, anyways). Since nbdkit doesn't really have a parallel plugin yet, my testing on that front will have to use qemu-nbd as the original server, as well as qemu-io as the driver (qemu-io's aio_read and aio_write commands can be used to trigger

I've posted some of these patches or ideas before; but now I'm confident enough with the series that it should be ready to push; at any rate, I can now run test-socket-activation in a tight loop without triggering any crashes or hangs. With this in place, I'm going back to work on making the nbd forwarder wort with the parallel thread model. Eric Blake (8): sockets: Use
