[Libguestfs] [PATCH 05/14] nbd/server: Prepare for alternate-size headers

Eric Blake eblake at redhat.com
Fri Dec 3 23:15:30 UTC 2021


An upcoming NBD extension wants to add the ability to do 64-bit
requests.  As part of that extension, the size of the reply headers
will change in order to permit a 64-bit length in the reply for
symmetry [*].  Additionally, where the reply header is currently 16
bytes for simple reply, and 20 bytes for structured reply; with the
extension enabled, both reply type headers will be 32 bytes.  Since we
are already wired up to use iovecs, it is easiest to allow for this
change in header size by splitting each structured reply across two
iovecs, one for the header (which will become variable-length in a
future patch according to client negotiation), and the other for the
payload, and removing the header from the payload struct definitions.
Interestingly, the client side code never utilized the packed types,
so only the server code needs to be updated.

[*] Note that on the surface, this is because some server might permit
a 4G+ NBD_CMD_READ and need to reply with that much data in one
transaction.  But even though the extended reply length is widened to
64 bits, we will still never send a reply payload larger than just
over 32M (the maximum buffer we allow in NBD_CMD_READ; and we cap the
number of extents we are willing to report in NBD_CMD_BLOCK_STATUS).
Where 64-bit fields really matter in the extension is in a later patch
adding 64-bit support into a counterpart for REPLY_TYPE_BLOCK_STATUS.
