This extends the vector library with an insert function. It is more expensive than appending, but this does not affect existing code using vector and can be used in new places without making those uses more expensive. We use this function in nbdkit-extentlist-filter, nbdkit-eval-plugin and the sparse library. This is refactoring, so should not affect functionality at all. However during the

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... Rich.

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

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

This patch series restores the use of superpages when restoring or migrating a VM, while retaining efficient batching of 4k pages when superpages are not appropriate or available.

The NBD protocol is adding an extension to let servers advertise initialization state to the client: whether the image contains holes, and whether it is known to read as all zeroes. For memory-based plugins, it is fairly easy to advertise several cases: data and memory are usually sparse and detecting zero is easy (requires new functions to the sparse_array common code), although since the sparse

Dear List I am trying to fit a multinomial model using the mlogit package. Attempting to load the data into mlogit presents the following error.

Patch 3 still needs tests added, but it is at least working from my simple command line tests.

A comment in the code mentioned something that didn't actually work, but which can be useful for user-directed logging of what other callbacks they might want to implement.

Annotate some function parameters with attribute((nonnull)). Only do this for internal headers where we are sure that we will be using sufficiently recent GCC or Clang. For the public header files (ie. include/nbdkit-*.h) it may be that people building out of tree plugins are using old GCC which had problems, or even other compilers that don't support this extension at all. Libvirt has an

Here's changes to the file plugin (which I'm happy with) and a new exportname filter (which is still at RFC stage; I need to finish implementing strict mode in .open, and add tests). I also discovered that we really want .list_exports and .open to know when they are used on plaintext vs. tls clients for --tls=on, and we may want to split out a new .default_export callback rather than

This adds a new nbdkit_shutdown() API whereby plugins and filters can request that the server shuts down (asynchronously) during the serving phase. Two new filters are added, one of which depends on this feature and the other not needing it but being somewhat related. Rich.

The NBD protocol is adding an extension to let servers advertise initialization state to the client: whether the image contains holes, and whether it is known to read as all zeroes. Most filters just pass through the plugin's result (as it is only checked once when first connecting), but we can do useful things in log (mention the setting), extentlist (answer based on the extents we are

Also available here: https://github.com/rwmjones/nbdkit/tree/2020-windows-mingw-nolib After a lot of work I have made the port to Windows work without using a separate library. Instead, on Windows only, we build an "import library" (library of stubs) which resolves references to nbdkit_* functions in the main program and fixes up the plugin, basically the first technique outlined in

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.

This is a second version of the limit filter. v1 was posted here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2020-March/msg00015.html I didn't bother to repost the other three patches because they are the same. The difference is this version of the filter takes security more seriously. It shouldn't be possible for malicious clients to connect more than limit=N times to the plugin now,
