[nbdkit PATCH 0/5] More retry fixes
by Eric Blake
I think this is my last round of patches for issues I identified with
the retry filter. With this in place, it should be safe to interject
another filter in between retry and the plugin.
Eric Blake (5):
retry: Don't call into closed plugin
tests: Refactor test-retry-reopen-fail.sh
tests: Enhance retry test to cover failed reopen
server: Move prepare/finalize/close recursion to backend.c
server: Ensure .finalize and .close are called as needed

[PATCH] build: define CGO_CFLAGS_ALLOW with -U option we need
by Tomáš Golembiovský
cgo does not allow arbitrary CFLAGS to be used. Instead it contains a
list of flags (safelist) that are allowed to be passed to the compiler.
Sadly -U option (introduced in commit d8d8c856a1) is not among them.

[PATCH libnbd 1/4] generator: Allow long ‘name - shortdesc’ in man pages.
by Richard W.M. Jones
For commands with long names and/or short descriptors, you can end up
going over 72 characters in the first line of the man page (causing
podwrapper to complain). Wrap these lines.

[nbdkit PATCH 0/5] Another round of retry fixes
by Eric Blake
I still don't have .prepare/.finalize working cleanly across reopen,
but did find a nasty bug where a botched assertion means we failed to
notice reads beyond EOF in both the xz and retry filter.
Refactoring backend.c will make .finalize work easier.
Eric Blake (5):
xz: Avoid reading beyond EOF
retry: Check size before transactions
tests: Test retry when get_size values change
server: Fix backend range check
server: Refactor to drop connection_get_handle()

[nbdkit PATCH 0/4] More work with retry safety
by Eric Blake
I'm still working on another set of patches to have reopen call
.finalize/.prepare (so that another filter can safely appear between
retry and the plugin), but for tonight, these are the patches I think
are ready to go.
Eric Blake (4):
retry: Handle can_fua and can_fast_zero changes
tests: Test retry with different fua/fast-zero flags
server: Close backends if a filter's .open fails
server: Better documentation of .open ordering

[nbdkit PATCH v2 0/6] Improve retry filter
by Eric Blake
Includes a rework of the previously posted patch for --run
improvements (mostly with improved comments and commit message; I
decided that waiting for the captive nbdkit to exit was overkill), and
four new patches. The tests are intentionally separate, to allow
rearranging the order of the series to see the failures being fixed.
Eric Blake (6):
server: Propagate unexpected nbdkit failure with --run
tests: Enhance captive test
retry: Check next_ops->can_FOO on retry
tests: Test for retry-readonly behavior
retry: Avoid assertion during retried extents
tests: Test retry after partial extents

[libnbd PATCH] docs: Add libnbd-security(1) man page
by Eric Blake
Copies heavily after a similar addition recently made in nbdkit.
---
I'm not sure if .1 or .3 fits better for the man page. With nbdkit,
.1 made sense because 'nbdkit' is a standalone program; but with
libnbd, our only standalone is nbdsh, yet naming it nbdsh-security
seems off.
