It's still a bit unclear.  Could we say:

/* These are wrappers around socket(2) and socketpair(2).  They
 * always set SOCK_CLOEXEC.  nbd_internal_socket can set SOCK_NONBLOCK
 * according to the nonblock parameter.
 */

Also, can you wrap lines at ~72 chars.

Line wrapping here.

And here.

It's all good otherwise: ACK the series with the changes above.

Thanks,
