[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 20/25] block/nbd: Comment on discard/flush silently failing

[Max Reitz]

If some operation cannot be performed by a block driver, it is normally
supposed to return an error. In these cases, however, it is fine to
pretend the operations were carried out successfully because if the NBD
block driver would not implement discard or flush in the first place,
this is exactly what the block layer would do.

Because this may not be obvious, add a comment for it.
