Zhihui,

Kernel should free all memory used by the process after it exits.  So  
there's no memory leak even without explicit free.

That's correct. Nevertheless fixing this helps to find other more important
memory leaks with static or dynamic code analyzers like cppcheck or 
valgrind.

Please hold off, I'm about to introduce large changes to qemu-nbd for 
asynchronous I/O (including getting rid of sharing_fds in favor of the 
main loop) and and I'd rather avoid gratuitous conflicts.

Okay, let's wait for Paolo's changes.
