[Qemu-block] [PATCH v4 11/11] nbd: Avoid magic number for NBD max name s


From: Eric Blake
Subject: [Qemu-block] [PATCH v4 11/11] nbd: Avoid magic number for NBD max name size
Date: Wed, 11 May 2016 16:39:44 -0600

Declare a constant and use that when determining if an export
name fits within the constraints we are willing to support.

Note that upstream NBD recently documented that clients MUST
support export names of 256 bytes (not including trailing NUL),
and SHOULD support names up to 4096 bytes.  4096 is a bit big
(we would lose benefits of stack-allocation of a name array),
and we already have other limits in place (for example, qcow2
snapshot names are clamped around 1024).  So for now, just
stick to the required minimum, as that's easier to audit than
a full-scale support for larger names.

v3: enlarge the limit, and document choice of new value
