[Libguestfs] [PATCH nbdkit v2 01/11] server: Implement NBD_FLAG_CAN_MULTI_CONN.

>From the protocol document:

  "NBD_FLAG_CAN_MULTI_CONN: Indicates that the server operates
  entirely without cache, or that the cache it uses is shared among
  all connections to the given device. In particular, if this flag is
  present, then the effects of NBD_CMD_FLUSH and NBD_CMD_FLAG_FUA MUST
  be visible across all connections when the server sends its reply to
  that command to the client. In the absence of this flag, clients
  SHOULD NOT multiplex their commands over more than one connection to
  the export."

This is implemented in nbdkit by a boolean function which plugins may
implement if they believe they satisfy the requirements above.  It can
also be passed through or modified by filters.  It defaults to false,
which is the safe default.

+This is called during the option negotiation phase to find out if the

+
+Specifically it means that either the plugin does not cache requests
+at all.  Or if it does cache then the effects of a C<.flush> request
+or setting C<NBDKIT_FLAG_FUA> on a request must be visible across all
+connections to the plugin before the plugin replies to that request.
