[Libguestfs] [nbdkit PATCH] RFC: blocksize: Add test for sharding behavior

[Richard W.M. Jones]

Is there any way to do this without the literal sleeps?  Gitlab CI in
particular appears to be very contended (I guess it runs in parallel
on huge systems with vast numbers of unrelated containers).  I've seen
threads being created that are so starved they never run at all even
in tests running for many tens of seconds.

I'm thinking some kind of custom plugin which orders operations using
its own clock that it is incremented as certain requests arrive, but I
don't have a fully-formed idea of how it would work.

Rich.
