I got annoyed by qemu-nbd's default of only allowing a single connection; combine that with nbdkit's nbd plugin, and even 'qemu-nbd --list' of nbdkit counts as the single connection and immediately hangs up. If we introduce a shared mode, then 'qemu-nbd --list' can connect as many times as it wants without killing the original qemu-nbd wrapped by nbdkit. But this in turn

GCC is concerned that if we never go round the loop then fd will be uninitialized. By asserting that getaddrinfo set result != NULL we can avoid this. nbd.c: In function ‘nbd_open_handle’: nbd.c:974:5: error: ‘fd’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] 974 | close (fd); | ^~~~~~~~~~ nbd.c:954:7: note: ‘fd’ was declared here 954 | int fd; | ^~ cc1: all warnings being treated as errors --- plugins/nbd/nbd.c | 2 ++ 1...

Patch 1 played with an early draft of Rich's Fedora 30 libnbd package: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1713767#c17 Note that comment 21 provides a newer package 0.1.1-1 with a different API; and that libnbd has more unreleased API changes in the pipeline (whether that will be called 0.2 or 0.1.2); so we'll have to tweak things based on what is actually available in distros.

libnbd-0.1.2-1 is now available in Fedora 29/30 updates-testing, although it was not compiled against libxml2 so it lacks uri support (I ended up testing patch 4 with a self-built libnbd). Diffs since v1 - rebase to master, bump from libnbd 0.1 to 0.1.2, add URI support, better timing results Still not done - patch 5 needs associated tests Eric Blake (5): nbd: Check for libnbd nbd:

libnbd-0.1.4-1 is now available in Fedora 29/30 updates testing. Diffs since v2 - rebase to master, bump from libnbd 0.1.2 to 0.1.3+, add tests to TLS usage which flushed out the need to turn relative pathnames into absolute, doc tweaks Now that the testsuite covers TLS and libnbd has been fixed to provide the things I found lacking when developing v2, I'm leaning towards pushing this on
