nbd-client: Work around server BLOCK_STATUS misalignment at EOF
The NBD spec is clear that a server that advertises a minimum block size should reply to NBD_CMD_BLOCK_STATUS with extents aligned accordingly. However, we know that the qemu NBD server implementation has had a corner-case bug where it is not compliant with the spec, present since the introduction of NBD_CMD_BLOCK_STATUS in qemu 2.12 (and unlikely to be patched in time for 4.0). Namely, when qemu is serving a file that is not a multiple of 512 bytes, it rounds the size advertised over NBD up to the next sector boundary (someday, I'd like to fix that to be byte-accurate, but it's a much bigger audit not appropriate for this release); yet if the final sector contains data prior to EOF, lseek(SEEK_HOLE) will point to the implicit hole mid-sector which qemu then reported over NBD. We are well within our rights to hang up on a server that can't follow the spec, but it is more useful to try and keep the connection alive in spite of the problem. Do so by tracing a message about the problem, and then either truncating the request back to an aligned boundary (if it covered more than the final sector) or widening it out to the full boundary with a forced status of data (since truncating would result in 0 bytes, but we have to make progress, and valid since data is a default-safe answer). And in practice, since the problem only happens on a sector that starts with data and ends with a hole, we are going to want to read that full sector anyway (where qemu as the server fills in the tail beyond EOF with appropriate NUL bytes). Easy reproduction: $ printf %1000d 1 > file $ qemu-nbd -f raw -t file & pid=$! $ qemu-img map --output=json -f raw nbd://localhost:10809 qemu-img: Could not read file metadata: Invalid argument $ kill $pid where the patched version instead succeeds with: [{ "start": 0, "length": 1024, "depth": 0, "zero": false, "data": true}] Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> Message-Id: <20190326171317.4036-1-eblake@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy <vsementsov@virtuozzo.com>
