[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] nbd: Initialize reply on failure

[Eric Blake]

We've had two separate reports of a caller running into use of
uninitialized data if s->quit is set (one detected by gcc -O3, another
by valgrind), due to checking 'nbd_reply_is_simple(reply) || s->quit'
in the wrong order. Rather than chasing down which callers need to
pre-initialize reply, it's easier to guarantee that reply will always
be set by nbd_co_receive_one_chunk() even on failure.
