Sorry about that, pitfalls of developing the parsing code out of line :(

- Are you asking why use 2 variables ? I need them because I loose p and
need r to free the string.
- Or are you asking why strdup ? That's because filename is const char *
and I need to modify the filename when parsing.

I am not sure if there is an easy way to recover sanely and exit from this
kind of error.
Here the non-QEMU thread (gluster thread) failed to notify the QEMU thread
on the read side of the pipe about the IO completion. So essentially
bdrv_read or bdrv_write will never complete if this error happens.
Do you have any suggestions on how to exit gracefully here ?

Hmm no precedence of const usage for identical scenario in other block
drivers in QEMU.

Again dodn't see the precedence for this.
Thanks for your review.
