So this patch unfortunately isn't correct for a few reasons:
(1) Non-Linux/BSD OSes don't support a concept like
--exit-with-parent. nbdkit will exit with an error if you try to use
this feature on such OSes. You can test if --exit-with-parent is
supported before trying to use it by:
nbdkit
We currently track the PIDs of the NBD servers (nbdkit only, at this
point) so that we can kill and reap them in cleanup_data_conns().
cleanup_data_conns() is called from three kinds of contexts:
(1) in start_conversion(), followed immediately by exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
(2) at the end of
