First thing to say is that I need to do a *lot* more testing on this, so this is just an early peek. In particular, although it passed ‘make check && make check-valgrind’ I have *not* tested it against a multi-conn-aware client such as the Linux kernel >= 4.9. This implements NBD_FLAG_CAN_MULTI_CONN, described in the protocol doc as: "NBD_FLAG_CAN_MULTI_CONN: Indicates that

For existing commits, this is almost identical to v1, except that I updated some commit messages and reordered the commits in a somewhat more logical sequence. The main changes are the extra commits: [06/11] plugins: Return NBD_FLAG_CAN_MULTI_CONN from some readonly plugins. - Readonly plugins that can set the flag unconditionally. [09/11] partitioning: Return NBD_FLAG_CAN_MULTI_CONN. [10/11]

I'm still working my way through the filters before this series will be complete, but this is enough of a start to at least get some feedback on the idea of implementing another NBD protocol extension. Eric Blake (9): server: Internal hooks for implementing NBD_CMD_CACHE plugins: Add .cache callback file, split: Implement .cache with posix_fadvise nbd: Implement NBD_CMD_CACHE

I will be following up to this email with four separate threads each addressed to the appropriate single list, with proposed changes to: - the NBD protocol - qemu: both server and client - libnbd: client - nbdkit: server The feature in question adds a new optional NBD_INFO_ packet to the NBD_OPT_GO portion of handshake, adding up to 16 bits of information that the server can advertise to the

This is a revision of my .default_export work, plus new work on .export_descriptions and a new exportname filter. I think it is now ready to check in. Things I'd still like in 1.22: - the file plugin should implement .list_exports (patch already posted, but it needs rebasing on this series) - the ext2 filter should override .list_exports when in exportname mode - the nbd plugin should be

It's been several weeks since I posted v2 (I got distracted by improving libnbd to better test things, which in turn surfaced some major memory leak problems in nbdsh that are now fixed). Many of the patches are minor rebases from v2, with the biggest changes being fallout from: - patch 2: rename nbdkit_add_default_export to nbdkit_use_default_export - overall: this missed 1.22, so update

Since v1: - rework .can_cache to be tri-state, with default of no advertisement (ripple effect through other patches) - add a lot more patches in order to round out filter support And in the meantime, Rich pushed NBD_CMD_CACHE support into libnbd, so in theory we now have a way to test cache commands through the entire stack. Eric Blake (24): server: Internal hooks for implementing

This is a cover letter to a series of patches being proposed in tandem to four different projects: - nbd: Document a new NBD_CMD_FLAG_FAST_ZERO command flag - qemu: Implement the flag for both clients and server - libnbd: Implement the flag for clients - nbdkit: Implement the flag for servers, including the nbd passthrough client If you want to test the patches together, I've pushed a
