Re: [Libguestfs] [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/5] nbd: Improve per-export flag handling in server

When creating a read-only image, we are still advertising support for TRIM and WRITE_ZEROES to the client, even though the client should not be issuing those commands. But seeing this requires looking across multiple functions: All callers to nbd_export_new() passed a single flag based solely on whether the export allows writes. Later, we then pass a constant set of flags to nbd_negotiate_options() (namely, the set of flags which we always support, at least for writable images), which is then further dynamically modified based on client requests for structured options. Finally, when processing NBD_OPT_EXPORT_NAME or NBD_OPT_EXPORT_GO we bitwise-or the original caller's flag with the runtime set of flags we've built up over several functions. Let's refactor things to instead compute a baseline of flags as soon as possible, in nbd_export_new(), and changing the signature for the callers to pass in a simpler bool rather than having to figure out flags. We can then get rid of the 'myflags' parameter to various functions, and instead refer to client for everything we need (we still have to perform a bitwise-OR during NBD_OPT_EXPORT_NAME and NBD_OPT_EXPORT_GO, but it's easier to see what is being computed). This lets us quit advertising senseless flags for read-only images, as well as making the next patch for exposing FAST_ZERO support easier to write. Signed-off-by: Eric Blake<eblake(a)redhat.com>
