[PATCH nbdkit v3 0/3] Add partitioning plugin.
The partitioning plugin patch is the same (except for rebasing).
However I have changed the first two patches based on feedback
received. In particular this fixes a very serious bug found by Eric
Blake in the current truncate filter.

[PATCH nbdkit v2 0/4] Support MBR logical partitions.
This is a revised version of the two series previously posted here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2019-January/msg00137.html
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2019-January/msg00139.html
There have been many smaller changes but the highlights are:
- Using SECTOR_SIZE instead of hard-coding 512 everywhere.
- Additional safety checks that the EBR chain doesn't

[PATCH nbdkit] partitioning: Support MBR logical partitions.
An evolution of the patch I posted yesterday to qemu-devel
(https://www.mail-archive.com/qemu-devel@nongnu.org/msg588920.html)
which (a) works and (b) has a test.

[PATCH nbdkit 0/9] Generic vector, and pass $nbdkit_stdio_safe to shell scripts.
This was a rather longer trip around the houses than I anticipated!
The basic purpose of the patch series is to set $nbdkit_stdio_safe to
"0" or "1" in sh and eval plugin scripts.
To do that, I ended up adding a nicer way to manipulate environ lists,
and to do that, I ended up adding a whole generic vector
implementation which is applicable in a lot of different places.

[PATCH nbdkit v3 3/3] Add partitioning plugin.
Create a partitioned virtual drive from a list of one or more files
each containing single partitions. The plugin concatenates the files
together and generates a virtual partition table so that NBD clients
see a single partitioned disk.
For example:
nbdkit partitioning boot.img swap.img root.img
creates a virtual disk with 3 partitions.

[PATCH nbdkit v2 0/5] Add linuxdisk plugin.
Another interesting thing you can do with this plugin:
https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2019/02/19/nbdkit-linuxdisk-plugin/
v2:
- Fix inconsistent tab/space.
- All 3 plugins now contain a block of text pointing to the
other 2 plugins.
- TMDIR -> TMPDIR
- Unlink the temporary file and other cleanups along error paths.
- fclose -> pclose, and check the return value for errors.

[PATCH nbdkit 0/4] New plugin: Add linuxdisk plugin.
Turns out Japanese trains are good for coding!
In supermin we have a bunch of code to create the libguestfs
appliance. It creates it directly using libext2fs (part of
e2fsprogs). We can use the same technique to create ext2 virtual
disks in nbdkit, which is what this new plugin does. Why a new plugin
instead of modifying the floppy plugin? See the 4/4 commit message
for an explanation.

[PATCH nbdkit v3 0/5] partition filter: Support MBR logical partitions.
I think this addresses everything in Eric's v2 review.
Note that the first patch is best viewed using ‘-w’ to ignore
whitespaces changes.

[PATCH nbdkit v3 0/4] Add linuxdisk plugin.
For v3 I reimplemented this using mke2fs -d. This obviously makes the
implementation a whole lot simpler, but cannot support multiple
directory merging.
Patches 1-3 are the same as before. I've also reproduced the notes
from v2 below.
v2:
- Fix inconsistent tab/space.
- All 3 plugins now contain a block of text pointing to the
other 2 plugins.

[PATCH nbdkit 0/4] Add floppy plugin.
Add nbdkit-floppy-plugin, “inspired” by qemu's VVFAT driver, but
without the ability to handle writes.
The implementation is pretty complete, supporting FAT32, LFNs, volume
labels, timestamps, etc, and it passes both ‘make check’ and ‘make
check-valgrind’.
Usage is simple; to serve the current directory:
$ nbdkit floppy .
Then using guestfish (or any NBD client):
$ guestfish --ro

[PATCH v2 nbdkit] tests: Add generic requires.
v1 was here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2019-January/thread.html#00198
For v2 I changed most existing prerequisite tests to use the new
mechanism.
I only changed simple tests. There are a few more complex tests that
don't fit the “requires model” and those are not changed.
I normalized qemu-io/qemu-img testing to always use the --version
flag, where previously we used a mix

This implements support for MBR logical partitions in
nbdkit-partition-filter, complementing existing support in the

[PATCH nbdkit 4/9] common/regions: Use new vector type to store the list of regions.
A fairly straightforward replacement, but note that we must rename all
variables called ‘regions’ as something else (eg. ‘rs’) because
-Wshadow warns about them (which is surprising to me since I thought
this warning only applied to local vs global variable, not local
variable vs global typedef).
Also I got rid of the get_regions accessor method, replacing it
everywhere with direct use of

[PATCH nbdkit v2 0/2] Use of attribute(()).
v1 was here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2019-January/msg00008.html
In v2 I have provided two patches:
The first patch extends attribute((nonnull)) to most internal
functions, but not to the external API.
The second patch uses a macro so that attribute((format)) is only used
in the public API on GCC or Clang. At least in theory these headers
could be used by a C compiler which

[PATCH nbdkit 4/4] Add linuxdisk plugin.
From: "Richard W.M. Jones" <rjones@redhat.com>
This plugin allows you to create a complete ext2 filesystem in a GPT
partitioned disk image. This can be attached as a disk to a Linux
virtual machine. It is implemented using libext2fs (the same as
supermin).
Although there is some overlap with nbdkit-iso-plugin and
nbdkit-floppy-plugin, the implementations and use cases of all

[PATCH nbdkit] include: Annotate function parameters with attribute((nonnull)).
Should we use attribute((nonnull)) at all? There's a very interesting
history of this in libvirt -- try looking at commit eefb881 plus the
commits referencing eefb881 -- but it does seem to work for me using
recent GCC and Clang.
I only did a few functions because annotating them gets old quickly...

[nbdkit PATCH v3 0/2] Add nbdkit_realpath
Hi,
this is the v3 of my series for nbdkit_realpath; this series adds an
extra documentation update to nbdkit_absolute_path, documenting when it
can only be used, and then adds nbdkit_realpath.
Thanks,
Pino Toscano (2):
docs: improve documentation of nbdkit_absolute_path
plugin: add and use nbdkit_realpath

Long running nbdkit tests
The nbdkit tests take a long time to run especially on armv7. To try
to get an idea of which tests take the most time, and since I happen
to have a qemu aarch64 *TCG* guest available, I ran the tests on that
guest.
A TCG guest is about the worst case for libguestfs, used by some
tests, since it uses double-nested TCG, and as you can see below there
are tests taking over 6 hours.
In fact I
