similar to: [nbdkit PATCH 0/2] bind .zero to more languages

Requires patch 1 and 2 of the python series: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-January/msg00126.html This is the perl implementation along the same lines. We still haven't decided if patch 1 of the python series should change OCaml to report errno as reliable or not, but perhaps we can commit that patch as-is now and then touch things up further when we actually get set_error

v1: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2019-November/msg00153.html v2: - Fix implementation of can_cache. - Add implementation of can_fua. - Add a very thorough test suite which tests every command + flag combination.

And fill out most of the missing bits of the API. Rich.

First out of our four language bindings to add FUA support (for reference, I added 'zero' support for python, perl, and ruby back in 1.1.13, then Rich had to add it for ocaml in 1.1.20). I tested this heavily under python 2, but for now only compile tested under python 3; I plan to do further testing there and make any tweaks if necessary. I wrote patch 5 early on, but then realized I

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

I noticed these while working on adding fua support into python, these are independent enough to push now (and I'll have to rebase my 'optional may_trim' patch on top of this).

As mentioned in my reviews, I wonder if we should make our python callbacks look a bit more Pythonic by having kwargs added for each new flag that we want to expose. The idea was first floated here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-April/msg00108.html Note that with my proposal, there is no need for a python script to expose a global API_VERSION variable; new flags are added

v3 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2019-November/msg00209.html In v4: - Rebase on top of current master. Includes various fixes and updates required because of Nir's patches that went into master. - Fix api_version() -> API_VERSION in patch 2 noted previously on the mailing list. Rich.

v2 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2019-November/msg00163.html I pushed patch 1 (with spelling fix), patch 4 and patch 5 since those were previously ACKed on the list. Differences in v3: - Add error checking to PyModule_AddIntConstant. - Use API_VERSION constant instead of function. - Add max API version supported to --dump-plugin output. - Print API_VERSION selected by

This cleans up the existing code base with regards to implicit use of errno from language bindings, then rebases the previous work in python on top of that. I'm still playing with the perl bindings, but got further after reading 'perldoc perlembed'. Eric Blake (4): plugins: Don't use bogus errno from non-C plugins plugins: Add new nbdkit_set_error() utility function python:

In preparation for adding other optional flag arguments to the python bindings, start by making the existing 'may_trim' flag to 'zero' be optional. That is, the plugin need not define the parameter if it does not make any semantic difference (ie. if the plugin ignores the hint and never trims); while if the parameter exists, we now pass it as a keyword argument rather than as a

Hi, When an integer argument is passed as value, node_set_value segfaults. Reproducer is at the end of this message The backtrace points at hivex-py.c, function get_value. While obj is non-NULL, `bytes = PyUnicode_AsUTF8String (obj);` returns NULL. Kind regards, Peter https://lekensteyn.nl #!/usr/bin/env python3 import hivex, sys h = hivex.Hivex(sys.argv[1]) print(h) val = {

Hi, This patch series is based on a prior patch[1], splitting off changes as requested and incorporating feedback from Richard Jones. It introduces type validation to avoid segmentation faults (instead, it reports an exception) and fixes handling of the bytes type in Python 3. Major changes since that series: - Drop newly introduced support for integer types for DWORD/QWORDS - Reject Unicode

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]

RLenValue is similar to RLenType, though with one less argument. This required adding additional conversion functions for several languages' bindings.

I ran into these while trying to prepare patches to add NBD_CMD_FLAG_FAST_ZERO, which will expose a new NBD_ENOTSUP wire value.

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

Some feature additions to the shell script plugin allow us to test the export flags field reasonably easily. Rich.

When I added .can_FOO caching in 1.16, I missed the case that the sh plugin itself was calling .can_flush twice in some situations (in order to default .can_fua). Then right after, I regressed it to call .can_zero twice (in order to default .can_fast_zero). I also missed that .thread_model could use better caching, because at the time, I did not add testsuite coverage. Fix that now. Eric Blake
