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 have been recently fixed to give full output from the start, and to refuse a connection if a requested x-dirty-bitmap was not found. Still, it is likely that there will be users that have to work with a mix of old and new qemu versions, depending on which features get backported where, at which point being able to rely on 'qemu-img --list' output to know for sure whether a given NBD export has the desired dirty bitmap is much nicer than blindly connecting and risking that the entire image may appear clean. We can make our --list code smart enough to work around buggy servers by tracking whether we've seen any qemu: replies in the original 0-query list; if not, recurse to a single query on "qemu:" (which may still have no replies, but then we know for sure we didn't trip up on the server bug). Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> --- Done as a separate patch to make it easier to revert when we no longer care about 3.0 servers v2: rebase on top of earlier patch splits --- nbd/client.c | 19 +++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 19 insertions(+)
