Extract portions of nbd_negotiate_simple_meta_context() to
a new function nbd_receive_one_meta_context() that copies the
pattern of nbd_receive_list() for performing the argument
validation of one reply. The error message when the server
replies with more than one context changes slightly, but
Commit 3d068aff forgot to advertise available qemu: contexts
when the client requests a list with 0 queries. Furthermore,
3.0 shipped with a qemu-img hack of x-dirty-bitmap (commit
216ee365) that _silently_ acts as though the entire image is
clean if a requested bitmap is not present. Both bugs
When the user requests a partition, we were using data read
from the disk as disk offsets without a bounds check. We got
lucky that even when computed offsets are out-of-bounds,
blk_pread() will gracefully catch the error later (so I don't

We want to be able to detect whether a given qemu NBD server is

Refactor nbd_negotiate_simple_meta_context() to pull out the
code that can be reused to send a LIST request for 0 or 1 query.
No semantic change. The old comment about 'sizeof(uint32_t)'
being equivalent to '/* number of queries */' is no longer
needed, now that we are computing 'sizeof(queries)'
Although our compile-time environment is set up so that we always
support long files with 64-bit off_t, we have no guarantee whether
off_t is the same type as int64_t. This requires casts when
printing values, and prevents us from directly using qemu_strtoi64().
Let's just flip to [u]int64_t
Another refactoring creating nbd_negotiate_finish_oldstyle()
for further reuse during 'qemu-nbd --list'.

The function could only ever return 0 or -EINVAL; make this
clearer by dropping a useless 'fail:' label.

Refactor the 'name' parameter of nbd_receive_negotiate() from
being a separate parameter into being part of the in-out 'info'.
This also spills over to a simplification of nbd_opt_go().
The main driver for this refactoring is that an upcoming patch

We only had two callers to nbd_export_new; qemu-nbd.c always
passed a valid offset/length pair (because it already checked
the file length, to ensure that offset was in bounds), while
blockdev-nbd always passed 0/-1. Then nbd_export_new reduces
the size to a multiple of BDRV_SECTOR_SIZE (can only
Any good new feature deserves some regression testing :)
Coverage includes:

proof that we can see multiple contexts including qemu:dirty-bitmap

plain/TLS listings will
The next commit will add an EXAMPLES section to qemu-nbd.8;
for that to work, we need to recognize EXAMPLES in texi2pod.
We also need to add a dependency from all man pages against
the generator script, since a change to the generator may
cause the resulting man page to differ.

I got tired of debugging whether a server was advertising the
correct things during negotiation by inspecting the trace
logs of qemu-io as client - not to mention that without SOME
sort of client tracing particular commands, we can't easily
regression test the server for correct behavior. The
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.
Our copy-and-pasted open-coding of strtol handling forgot to
handle overflow conditions. Use qemu_strto*() instead.
In the case of --partition, since we insist on a user-supplied
partition to be non-zero, we can use 0 rather than -1 for our
initial value to distinguish when a partition is not
An upcoming patch will add the ability for qemu-nbd to list
