This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled nbd: correct disconnect behavior to the linux-3.8.y-queue branch of the 3.8.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.8.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.8.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From 7528b4d748313172f5e74ef0902022eb7fb6b97f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Clements <paul.clements@steeleye.com> Date: Wed, 3 Jul 2013 15:09:04 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] nbd: correct disconnect behavior commit c378f70adbc1bbecd9e6db145019f14b2f688c7c upstream. 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).
