In v2, I had made the multi-conn filter possible by reverting several
patches to make the handle of filters.c a local struct instead of
reusing 'struct backend *' from internal.h, and Rich (rightly)
complained that it felt like a step backwards. That forced me to
rethink about what filters really want, and ultimately (mostly)
implement one of our TODO items about letting a filter be able to
probe the backend separately from waiting for a connection from the
client. I still have more work to do to get the ext2 filter where I
want (while .after_fork is a great place to start a thread, we also
need a place to end that thread gracefully before .unload, since right
now .unload iterates inner-to-outer but cleanup must be done
outer-to-inner). But this series has taken me all week to get to this
point, so I'll post the progress I've made so far.
Eric Blake (16):
filters: Slightly reduce promise of nxdata lifetime
filters: Temporarily make next_ops->reopen a public function
server: Move default_exportname from handle to connection
server: Rename struct handle to struct context
server: Update signature of backend_open
backend: Inline reset_context
server: Manage contexts by backend, not int
backend: Plumb context through internal callbacks
filters: Use struct context for next_ops
server: Store nbdkit_next_ops in struct context
filters: Use context rather than connection to track c_next
filters: New API for plugin context management
ext2: Simplify use of next_ops
filters: Adjust API for type-safety and merged next_ops/nxdata
multi-conn: New filter
multi-conn: Knob to limit consistency emulation by export name
