nbd: correct disconnect behavior

2013-07-03T23:08:05Z

Currently, when a disconnect is requested by the user (via NBD_DISCONNECT ioctl) the return from NBD_DO_IT is undefined (it is usually one of several error codes). This means that nbd-client does not know if a manual disconnect was performed or whether a network error occurred. Because of this, nbd-client's persist mode (which tries to reconnect after error, but not after manual disconnect) does not always work correctly. This change fixes this by causing NBD_DO_IT to always return 0 if a user requests a disconnect. This means that nbd-client can correctly either persist the connection (if an error occurred) or disconnect (if the user requested it).

nbd: handle discard requests

2012-10-05T18:05:24Z

Add discard support to nbd. If the nbd-server supports discard, it will send NBD_FLAG_SEND_TRIM to the client. The client will then set the flag in the kernel via NBD_SET_FLAGS, which tells the kernel to enable discards for the device (QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD). If discard support is enabled, then when the nbd client system receives a discard request, this will be passed along to the nbd-server. When the discard request is received by the nbd-server, it will perform: fallocate(.. FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE ..) To punch a hole in the backend storage, which is no longer needed.

nbd: add set flags ioctl

2012-10-05T18:05:23Z

Add a set-flags ioctl, allowing various option flags to be set on an nbd device. This allows the nbd-client to set the device flags (to enable read-only mode, or enable discard support, etc.). Flags are typically specified by the nbd-server. During the negotiation phase of the nbd connection, the server sends its flags to the client. The client then uses NBD_SET_FLAGS to inform the kernel of the options. Also included is a one-line fix to debug output for the set-timeout ioctl.

header: fix broken headers for user space

2010-08-23T04:15:39Z

__packed is only defined in kernel space, so we should use __attribute__((packed)) for the code shared between kernel and user space. Two __attribute() annotations are replaced with __attribute__() too. Signed-off-by: Changli Gao Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

nbd: delete superfluous test for GNUC

NBD: allow nbd to be used locally

2008-04-29T15:06:23Z

This patch allows Network Block Device to be mounted locally (nbd-client to nbd-server over 127.0.0.1). It creates a kthread to avoid the deadlock described in NBD tools documentation. So, if nbd-client hangs waiting for pages, the kblockd thread can continue its work and free pages. I have tested the patch to verify that it avoids the hang that always occurs when writing to a localhost nbd connection. I have also tested to verify that no performance degradation results from the additional thread and queue. Patch originally from Laurent Vivier.

NBD: remove limit on max number of nbd devices

2008-02-08T17:22:41Z

Remove the arbitrary 128 device limit for NBD. nbds_max can now be set to any number. In certain scenarios where devices are used sparsely we have run into the 128 device limit. Signed-off-by: Paul Clements Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
