The upstream protocol recently promoted NBD_CMD_WRITE_ZEROES from experimental to a documented extension. Exposing support for this allows plugin writers to create sparse files when driven by a client that knows how to use the extension; meanwhile, even if a plugin does not support this extension, the server benefits from less network traffic from the client. Eric Blake (5): protocol: Support

This patch isn't complete (patch 6/6 isn't finished) so it's just for discussion, although it does compile and run. This introduces to nbdkit a concept of "filters" which can be placed in front of plugins to modify their behaviour. Some examples where you might use filters: * Serve a subset of the data, such as (offset, range) or a single partition from a disk image.

This is still tentative and needs a lot of work, but: - partition filter works, supporting MBR & GPT - prepare and finalize methods fixed - open method can now be changed (allowing readonly flag to be modified) - thread_model can be limited I believe I made most of the changes which were previously suggested in email. I think the only one I didn't was preventing inclusion of both

Rebased filters patch. Requires current git master + the locks / thread model fix (https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-January/msg00128.html) So a few changes here since last time: The "introduce filters" and "implement filters" patches are squashed together. I introduced a concept of .prepare and .finalize. These run before and after the data serving phase

The first three patches are identical to: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-January/msg00079.html "[PATCH nbdkit v2 0/3] Refactor plugin_* functions into a backend" The rest of the patches add filters using the new filter API previously described here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-January/msg00073.html This needs a lot more testing -- and tests --

A combination of the work that both Rich and I have been doing lately, where filters use only the new API with flags on every command that the client can send over the wire (we can then add support for more flags in nbdkit without having to add new callbacks, as NBD adds more flags upstream). Eric Blake (4): protocol: Split flags from cmd field in requests backend: Pass flags argument through

Fix some things I noticed while reviewing v1, and follow Rich's idea to add a new nbdkit_set_error() utility function with a binding for Python users to request a particular error (rather than being forced to live with whatever stale value is in errno after all the intermediate binding glue code). I could not easily find out how to register a C function callable from perl bindings, and have
