Fixes bugs with JSON output in the previous patch, and adds some tests. Rich.

This is a rough-and-ready implementation of nbdinfo --map option, to display the allocation and other metadata of NBD exports. I only tested it lightly against nbdkit. It needs at least some tests. Command like these should work: nbdinfo --map nbd://localhost nbdinfo --map=qemu:dirty-bitmap nbd://localhost Rich.

In v2: ack'ed preliminary patches have been pushed, and I've added a lot of testsuite coverage as well as putting the new API to use in nbdinfo. Eric Blake (2): api: Add nbd_opt_list_meta_context info: List available meta-contexts lib/internal.h | 1 + generator/API.ml | 84 ++++++++-

This replaces 13/13 of my v2 series; and now that it has pretty good testsuite coverage and demonstrable performance improvement to nbdinfo, I'm going ahead and pushing this now. We may still want to add further nbd_opt_* commands for other fine-grained tuning of negotiation, but for now, I think things have stabilized on this end, and I can return to polishing .list_exports on the nbdkit

A rather trivial decoding; we may enhance it further if qemu extends things to give an integer depth alongside its tri-state encoding. --- I'll wait to push this to libnbd until the counterpart qemu patches land upstream, although it looks like I've got positive review. info/nbdinfo.c | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) diff --git a/info/nbdinfo.c b/info/nbdinfo.c index

We discovered a possible Downgrade Attack in libnbd. Lifecycle --------- Reported: 2019-09-14 Fixed: 2019-09-16 Published: 2019-09-16 There is no CVE number assigned for this issue yet, but the bug is being categorized and processed by Red Hat's security team which may result in a CVE being published later. Description ----------- Libnbd includes the method nbd_set_tls(h,

Here are few things I found out when using libnbd that might be perfectly fine or maybe just an oversight, but I wanted to point them out. It's nothing major. When running a program with `nbdkit -U - --run ...`, the $nbd parameter gets expanded to nbd:unix:/path/to/socket. When this string is passed to nbd_connect_uri(), it does not return an error (even though it is not a valid URL), but

Now that we have implemented systemd socket activation, we can use this to run qemu-nbd in tests. The first patch leaves some dead code around (the -DSERVE_OVER_TCP=1 path). It's possible we might want to use this to test against a putative future NBD server that only supports TCP, but on the other hand maybe we should just remove it. Tests & valgrind still pass for me. Rich.

Rather than moving the connection to DEAD, we can just ignore further contexts to the existing command handle, and fail the overall command with the same errno as the failed callback. Eric Blake (2): states: Track cmd->error as errno, not wire value api: Recover from block status callback failure generator/generator | 5 ++- generator/states-reply-simple.c | 2 +-

I'm posting this now, as I'm at the end of a workday and I got things working for manual experimentation. Still to do: - write interop tests for qemu-nbd and nbdkit (including my proposed patch addition of qemu-nbd -A to show qemu:allocation-depth) - figure out if we can make 'nbdinfo --map' use the new API to automatically select all contexts advertised by the server Eric Blake

Now that we have a way to pass Mutable(Int "error") to callbacks, that's a much nicer way for language bindings to use than relying on the value of errno after returning -1. Update the semantics for block status to match what pread_structured does, getting errno out of the equation, and changing things to call the callback for a second context even after an earlier callback failure

** INCOMPLETE ** This is the generator change as discussed on the list already. The Python and OCaml bindings are not yet done. It passes all [C only] tests and valgrind. Note that nbd_add_close_callback is inconsistent with other closure types because it passes the user_data parameter after the function. (This is not caused by the current patch, it was already inconsistent). We decided that

If I want to support both 0.1.2 and 0.1.x, I now have to do a conditional compilation

The 0.9.8 release breaks API, requiring a number of changes: - Use symbolic constants instead of magic numbers/open-coded strings (well, the string for "base:allocation" was present before this libnbd bump) - Change callbacks to drop the valid_flag parameter - Add _is to nbd_read_only call - Drop the _callback suffix on nbd_aio_FOO calls - Add a struct for managing callback/user_data

As before, but this one has working Python bindings. OCaml still TBD. Rich.
