The upstream protocol recently promoted NBD_CMD_WRITE_ZEROES from experimental to a documented extension. Exposing support for this allows plugin writers to create sparse files when driven by a client that knows how to use the extension; meanwhile, even if a plugin does not support this extension, the server benefits from less network traffic from the client.
Thanks - pushed the series. Could you do a follow-up to add the .zero method to the various language plugins?
