Re: [Libguestfs] [PATCH nbdkit v2 02/11] blocksize: Implement filtering of .can_multi_conn (forcing it to false).

I examined each filter to see which ones implement a cache and do not properly consider consistency across clients for flush requests. For these filters we should force .can_multi_conn to return false. I believe only one filter (blocksize) needs to be updated and all the other ones are safe. --- filters/blocksize/blocksize.c | 12 ++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+) diff --git a/filters/blocksize/blocksize.c b/filters/blocksize/blocksize.c index 34f58c9..9e0e713 100644 --- a/filters/blocksize/blocksize.c +++ b/filters/blocksize/blocksize.c @@ -164,6 +164,17 @@ blocksize_get_size (struct nbdkit_next_ops *next_ops, void *nxdata, return size == -1 ? size : size & ~(minblock - 1); } +static int +blocksize_can_multi_conn (struct nbdkit_next_ops *next_ops, void *nxdata, + void *handle) +{ + /* Although we are serializing all requests anyway so this likely + * doesn't make a difference, return false because the bounce buffer + * is not consistent for flush. + */ + return 0; +}
