[Libguestfs] [nbdkit PATCH 2/3] filters: Add .can_fast_zero hook

Eric Blake eblake at redhat.com
Fri Aug 23 14:40:53 UTC 2019


Allow filters to affect the handling of the new NBD_CMD_FLAG_FAST_ZERO
flag, then update affected filters.  In particular, the log filter
logs the state of the new flag (requires a tweak to expected output in
test-fua.sh), the delay filter gains a bool parameter delay-fast-zero,
several filters reject all fast requests because of local writes or
splitting a single client request into multiple plugin requests, and
the nozero filter gains additional modes for controlling fast zero
advertisement and support:

    zeromode→   none  emulate  notrim  plugin
↓fastzeromode                          (new)
---------------------------------------------
default          0      2        4      4
none             0      1        1      1
slow             0      2        2      2
ignore           0      3        3      3

0 - no zero advertised, thus no fast zero advertised
1 - fast zero not advertised
2 - fast zero advertised, but fast zero requests fail with
    ENOTSUP (ie. a fast zero was not possible)
3 - fast zero advertised, but fast zero requests are treated
    the same as normal requests (ignoring the fast zero flag,
    aids testing at the probable cost of spec non-compliance)
4 - fast zero advertisement/reaction is up to the plugin

Mode none/default remains the default for back-compat, and mode
plugin/default has no semantic change compared to omitting the nozero
filter from the command line.

Filters untouched by this patch are fine inheriting whatever fast-zero
behavior the underlying plugin uses.
