The patch titled
Subject: nbd: correct disconnect behavior
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
nbd-correct-disconnect-behavior.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Paul Clements <[email protected]>
Subject: nbd: correct disconnect behavior
Currently, when a disconnect is requested by the user (via NBD_DISCONNECT
ioctl) the return from NBD_DO_IT is undefined (it is usually one of
several error codes). This means that nbd-client does not know if a
manual disconnect was performed or whether a network error occurred.
Because of this, nbd-client's persist mode (which tries to reconnect after
error, but not after manual disconnect) does not always work correctly.
This change fixes this by causing NBD_DO_IT to always return 0 if a user
requests a disconnect. This means that nbd-client can correctly either
persist the connection (if an error occurred) or disconnect (if the user
requested it).
