[Qemu-block] [PATCH v3 07/19] nbd/client: Refactor nbd_receive_list()


From: Eric Blake
Subject: [Qemu-block] [PATCH v3 07/19] nbd/client: Refactor nbd_receive_list()
Date: Sat, 12 Jan 2019 11:58:00 -0600

Right now, nbd_receive_list() is only called by
nbd_receive_query_exports(), which in turn is only called if the
server lacks NBD_OPT_GO but has working option negotiation, and is
merely used as a quality-of-implementation trick since servers
can't give decent errors for NBD_OPT_EXPORT_NAME.  However, servers
that lack NBD_OPT_GO are becoming increasingly rare (nbdkit was a
latecomer, in Aug 2018, but qemu has been such a server since commit
f37708f6 in July 2017 and released in 2.10), so it no longer makes
sense to micro-optimize that function for performance.

Furthermore, when debugging a server's implementation, tracing the
full reply (both names and descriptions) is useful, not to mention
that upcoming patches adding 'qemu-nbd --list' will want to collect
that data.  And when you consider that a server can send an export
name up to the NBD protocol length limit of 4k; but our current
NBD_MAX_NAME_SIZE is only 256, we can't trace all valid server
names without more storage, but 4k is large enough that the heap
is better than the stack for long names.

Thus, I'm changing the division of labor, with nbd_receive_list()
now always malloc'ing a result on success (the malloc is bounded
by the fact that we reject servers with a reply length larger
than 32M), and moving the comparison to 'wantname' to the caller.

There is a minor change in behavior where a server with 0 exports
(an immediate NBD_REP_ACK reply) is now no longer distinguished
from a server without LIST support (NBD_REP_ERR_UNSUP); this
information could be preserved with a complication to the calling
contract to provide a bit more information, but I didn't see the
point.  After all, the worst that can happen if our guess at a
match is wrong is that the caller will get a cryptic disconnect
when NBD_OPT_EXPORT_NAME fails (which is no different from what
would happen if we had not tried LIST), while treating an empty
list as immediate failure would prevent connecting to really old
servers that really did lack LIST.  Besides, NBD servers with 0
exports are rare (qemu can do it when using QMP nbd-server-start
without nbd-server-add - but qemu understands NBD_OPT_GO and
thus won't tickle this change in behavior).

Fix the spelling of foundExport to match coding standards while
in the area.
