[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5 0/9] Implement NBD_OPT_GO, block size advertisement

[Eric Blake]

The NBD protocol has now finalized the extension that fixes
several shortcomings with NBD_OPT_EXPORT_NAME (namely, no error
reporting, no way for the server to advertise block sizes to the
client):
https://github.com/NetworkBlockDevice/nbd/blob/extension-info/doc/proto.md

This sort of overlaps with the work Vladimir is proposing for
implementing NBD_CMD_BLOCK_STATUS, but initial versions of these
patches have been on the list for over a year now (see patches 37-44):
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-04/msg03526.html

v4 was here:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-02/msg04528.html
Differences since then (if it is even worth comparing) include
rebasing on top of Vladimir's cleanups and final tweaks to match
the upstream NBD protocol that was finally promoted from experimental.

Depends on my NBD staging tree (currently Vladimir's v3 nbd refactoring):
