According to the NBD spec, a server that advertises
NBD_FLAG_CAN_MULTI_CONN promises that multiple client connections will
not see any cache inconsistencies: when properly separated by a single
flush, actions performed by one client will be visible to another
client, regardless of which client did the flush.
We always satisfy these conditions in qemu - even when we support
multiple clients, ALL clients go through a single point of reference
into the block layer, with no local caching. The effect of one client
is instantly visible to the next client. Even if our backend were a
network device, we argue that any multi-path caching effects that
would cause inconsistencies in back-to-back actions not seeing the
effect of previous actions would be a bug in that backend, and not the
fault of caching in qemu. As such, it is safe to unconditionally
advertise CAN_MULTI_CONN for any qemu NBD server situation that
supports parallel clients.
Note, however, that we don't want to advertise CAN_MULTI_CONN when we
know that a second client cannot connect (for historical reasons,
qemu-nbd defaults to a single connection while nbd-server-add and QMP
commands default to unlimited connections; but we already have
existing means to let either style of NBD server creation alter those
defaults). This is visible by no longer advertising MULTI_CONN for
'qemu-nbd -r' without -e, as in the iotest nbd-qemu-allocation.
The harder part of this patch is setting up an iotest to demonstrate
behavior of multiple NBD clients to a single server. It might be
possible with parallel qemu-io processes, but I found it easier to do
in python with the help of libnbd, and help from Nir and Vladimir in
writing the test.

The next patch wants to adjust whether the NBD server code advertises
MULTI_CONN based on whether it is known if the server limits to
exactly one client. For a server started by QMP, this information is
obtained through nbd_server_start (which can support more than one
export); but for qemu-nbd (which supports exactly one export), it is
controlled only by the command-line option -e/--shared. Since we
already have a hook function used by qemu-nbd, it's easiest to just
alter its signature to fit our needs.

block/nbd: reuse nbd_co_do_establish_connection() in nbd_open()
the use of the 'hostname' field from the BDRVNBDState struct was
lost, and 'nbd_connect' just hardcoded it to match the IP socket
address. This was a harmless bug at the time since we block use
with anything other than IP sockets.
Shortly though, we want to allow the caller to override the hostname
used in the TLS certificate checks. This is to allow for TLS
when doing port forwarding or tunneling. Thus we need to reinstate
the passing along of the 'hostname'.

NBD reconnect logic considers the error code from the functions that
read NBD messages to tell if reconnect should be attempted or not: it is
attempted on -EIO, otherwise the client transitions to NBD_CLIENT_QUIT
state (see nbd_channel_error). This error code is propagated from the
primitives like nbd_read.
The problem, however, is that nbd_read itself turns every error into -1
rather than -EIO. As a result, if the NBD server happens to die while
sending the message, the client in QEMU receives less data than it
expects, considers it as a fatal error, and wouldn't attempt
reestablishing the connection.
Fix it by turning every negative return from qio_channel_read_all into
-EIO returned from nbd_read. Apparently that was the original behavior,
but got broken later. Also adjust nbd_readXX to follow.

'qemu-img map' provides a way to determine which extents of an image
come from the top layer vs. inherited from a backing chain. This is
useful information worth exposing over NBD. There is a proposal to
add a QMP command block-dirty-bitmap-populate which can create a dirty
bitmap that reflects allocation information, at which point the
qemu:dirty-bitmap:NAME metadata context can expose that information
via the creation of a temporary bitmap, but we can shorten the effort
by adding a new qemu:allocation-depth metadata context that does the
same thing without an intermediate bitmap (this patch does not
eliminate the need for that proposal, as it will have other uses as
well).
While documenting things, remember that although the NBD protocol has
NBD_OPT_SET_META_CONTEXT, the rest of its documentation refers to
'metadata context', which is a more apt description of what is
actually being used by NBD_CMD_BLOCK_STATUS: the user is requesting
metadata by passing one or more context names. So I also touched up
some existing wording to prefer the term 'metadata context' where it
makes sense.
Note that this patch does not actually enable any way to request a
server to enable this context; that will come in the next patch.

a small wrapper in blockdev-nbd.c that then calls back into nbd/server.c

nbd-server-add tries to be convenient and adds two questionable
features that we don't want to share in block-export-add, even for NBD
exports:
1. When requesting a writable export of a read-only device, the export
is silently downgraded to read-only. This should be an error in the
context of block-export-add.
2. When using a BlockBackend name, unplugging the device from the guest
will automatically stop the NBD server, too. This may sometimes be
what you want, but it could also be very surprising. Let's keep
things explicit with block-export-add. If the user wants to stop the
export, they should tell us so.

1. No need of explicit error_propagate call
2. No need of explicit local_err variable: use errp directly
3. ERRP_GUARD() leaves errp as is if it's not NULL or
&error_fatal, this means that we don't break error_abort
(we'll abort on error_set, not on error_propagate)
If we want to add some info to errp (by error_prepend() or
error_append_hint()), we must use the ERRP_GUARD() macro.
Otherwise, this info will not be added when errp == &error_fatal
(the program will exit prior to the error_append_hint() or
error_prepend() call). Fix several such cases, e.g. in nbd_read().

Qemu as server currently won't accept export names larger than 256

However, we weren't actually enforcing things, ignoring when the
remote side violates the protocol on input, and also having several
code paths where we send oversize strings on output (for example,
qemu-nbd --description could easily send more than 4k). Tighten
things up as follows:
client:
- Perform bounds check on export name and dirty bitmap request prior
to handing it to server
- Validate that copied server replies are not too long (ignoring
NBD_INFO_* replies that are not copied is not too bad)
server:
- Perform bounds check on export name and description prior to
advertising it to client
- Reject client name or metadata query that is too long
- Adjust things to allow full 4k name limit rather than previous
256 byte limit

When iothreads are in use, the failure to grab the aio context results
in an assertion failure when trying to unlock things during blk_unref,
when trying to unlock a mutex that was not locked. In short, all
calls to nbd_export_put need to done while within the correct aio
context. But since nbd_export_put can recursively reach itself via
nbd_export_close, and recursively grabbing the context would deadlock,
we can't do the context grab directly in those functions, but must do
so in their callers.
Hoist the use of the correct aio_context from nbd_export_new() to its
caller qmp_nbd_server_add(). Then tweak qmp_nbd_server_remove(),
nbd_eject_notifier(), and nbd_esport_close_all() to grab the right

request will use a slow fallback; but in doing so, could not optimize
for NBD. The NBD specification is now considering an extension that

protocol bits and 'qemu-nbd --list' output to recognize the bit, as
well as the new errno value possible when using the new flag; while
upcoming patches will improve the client to use the feature when
present, and the server to advertise support for it.
The NBD spec recommends (but not requires) that ENOTSUP be avoided for
all but failures of a fast zero (the only time it is mandatory to
avoid an ENOTSUP failure is when fast zero is supported but not
requested during write zeroes; the questionable use is for ENOTSUP to
other actions like a normal write request). However, clients that get
an unexpected ENOTSUP will either already be treating it the same as
EINVAL, or may appreciate the extra bit of information. We were
equally loose for returning EOVERFLOW in more situations than
recommended by the spec, so if it turns out to be a problem in
practice, a later patch can tighten handling for both error codes.

[eblake: tweak commit message, also handle EOPNOTSUPP]
When creating a read-only image, we are still advertising support for
TRIM and WRITE_ZEROES to the client, even though the client should not
be issuing those commands. But seeing this requires looking across
multiple functions:
All callers to nbd_export_new() passed a single flag based solely on
whether the export allows writes. Later, we then pass a constant set
of flags to nbd_negotiate_options() (namely, the set of flags which we
always support, at least for writable images), which is then further
dynamically modified with NBD_FLAG_SEND_DF based on client requests
for structured options. Finally, when processing NBD_OPT_EXPORT_NAME
or NBD_OPT_EXPORT_GO we bitwise-or the original caller's flag with the
runtime set of flags we've built up over several functions.
Let's refactor things to instead compute a baseline of flags as soon
as possible which gets shared between multiple clients, in
nbd_export_new(), and changing the signature for the callers to pass
in a simpler bool rather than having to figure out flags. We can then
get rid of the 'myflags' parameter to various functions, and instead
refer to client for everything we need (we still have to perform a
bitwise-OR for NBD_FLAG_SEND_DF during NBD_OPT_EXPORT_NAME and
NBD_OPT_EXPORT_GO, but it's easier to see what is being computed).
This lets us quit advertising senseless flags for read-only images, as
well as making the next patch for exposing FAST_ZERO support easier to

The NBD specification defines NBD_FLAG_CAN_MULTI_CONN, which can be
advertised when the server promises cache consistency between
simultaneous clients (basically, rules that determine what FUA and
flush from one client are able to guarantee for reads from another
client). When we don't permit simultaneous clients (such as qemu-nbd
without -e), the bit makes no sense; and for writable images, we
probably have a lot more work before we can declare that actions from
one client are cache-consistent with actions from another. But for
read-only images, where flush isn't changing any data, we might as
well advertise multi-conn support. What's more, advertisement of the
bit makes it easier for clients to determine if 'qemu-nbd -e' was in
use, where a second connection will succeed rather than hang until the
first client goes away.
This patch affects qemu as server in advertising the bit. We may want
to consider patches to qemu as client to attempt parallel connections
for higher throughput by spreading the load over those connections
when a server advertises multi-conn, but for now sticking to one
connection per nbd:// BDS is okay.

As with the previous patch to qemu-nbd, the nbd-server-start QMP command
also needs to be able to specify authorization when enabling TLS encryption.
First the client must create a QAuthZ object instance using the
'object-add' command:
{
'execute': 'object-add',
'arguments': {
'qom-type': 'authz-list',
'id': 'authz0',
'parameters': {
'policy': 'deny',
'rules': [
{
'match': '*CN=fred',
'policy': 'allow'
}
]
}
}
}
They can then reference this in the new 'tls-authz' parameter when
executing the 'nbd-server-start' command:
{
'execute': 'nbd-server-start',
'arguments': {
'addr': {
'type': 'inet',
'host': '127.0.0.1',
'port': '9000'
},
'tls-creds': 'tls0',
'tls-authz': 'authz0'
}

Currently any client which can complete the TLS handshake is able to use
the NBD server. The server admin can turn on the 'verify-peer' option
for the x509 creds to require the client to provide a x509 certificate.
This means the client will have to acquire a certificate from the CA
before they are permitted to use the NBD server. This is still a fairly
low bar to cross.
This adds a '--tls-authz OBJECT-ID' option to the qemu-nbd command which
takes the ID of a previously added 'QAuthZ' object instance. This will
be used to validate the client's x509 distinguished name. Clients
failing the authorization check will not be permitted to use the NBD
server.
For example to setup authorization that only allows connection from a client
whose x509 certificate distinguished name is
CN=laptop.example.com,O=Example Org,L=London,ST=London,C=GB
escape the commas in the name and use:
qemu-nbd --object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,dir=/home/berrange/qemutls,\
endpoint=server,verify-peer=yes \
--object 'authz-simple,id=auth0,identity=CN=laptop.example.com,,\
O=Example Org,,L=London,,ST=London,,C=GB' \
--tls-creds tls0 \
--tls-authz authz0 \
....other qemu-nbd args...

We want to be able to detect whether a given qemu NBD server is
exposing the right export(s) and dirty bitmaps, at least for
regression testing. We could use 'nbd-client -l' from the upstream
NBD project to list exports, but it's annoying to rely on
out-of-tree binaries; furthermore, nbd-client doesn't necessarily
know about all of the qemu NBD extensions. Thus, we plan on adding
a new mode to qemu-nbd that merely sniffs all possible information
from the server during handshake phase, then disconnects and dumps
the information.
This patch continues the work of the previous patch, by adding the
ability to track the list of available meta contexts into
NBDExportInfo. It benefits from the recent refactoring patches
with a new nbd_list_meta_contexts() that reuses much of the same
framework as setting a meta context.
Note: a malicious server could exhaust memory of a client by feeding
an unending loop of contexts; perhaps we could place a limit on how
many we are willing to receive. But this is no different from our
earlier analysis on a server sending an unending list of exports,
and the death of a client due to memory exhaustion when the client
was going to exit soon anyways is not really a denial of service
attack.

order to share as much code as possible when it comes to doing

description string, along with a convenience function for freeing
the list.
Note: a malicious server could exhaust memory of a client by feeding
an unending loop of exports; perhaps we should place a limit on how

reasonably be serving an export for every file in a large directory,
where an arbitrary limit in the client means we can't list anything
from such a server; the same happens if we just run until the client
fails to malloc() and thus dies by an abort(), where the limit is
no longer arbitrary but determined by available memory. Since the
client is already planning on being short-lived, it's hard to call
this a denial of service attack that would starve off other uses,
so it does not appear to be a security issue.

This also spills over to a simplification of nbd_opt_go().
The main driver for this refactoring is that an upcoming patch
would like to add support to qemu-nbd to list information about
all exports available on a server, where the name(s) will be
provided by the server instead of the client. But another benefit
is that we can now allow the client to explicitly specify the

Although our compile-time environment is set up so that we always
support long files with 64-bit off_t, we have no guarantee whether
off_t is the same type as int64_t. This requires casts when
printing values, and prevents us from directly using qemu_strtoi64()
(which will be done in the next patch). Let's just flip to uint64_t
where possible, and stick to int64_t for detecting failure of
blk_getlength(); we also keep the assertions added in the previous
patch that the resulting values fit in 63 bits. The overflow check
in nbd_co_receive_request() was already sane (request->from is
validated to fit in 63 bits, and request->len is 32 bits, so the
addition can't overflow 64 bits), but rewrite it in a form easier
to recognize as a typical overflow check.
Rename the variable 'description' to keep line lengths reasonable.

We only have one caller that wants to export a bitmap name,
which it does right after creation of the export. But there is
still a brief window of time where an NBD client could see the
export but not the dirty bitmap, which a robust client would
have to interpret as meaning the entire image should be treated
as dirty. Better is to eliminate the window entirely, by
inlining nbd_export_bitmap() into nbd_export_new(), and refusing
to create the bitmap in the first place if the requested bitmap
can't be located.
We also no longer need logic for setting a different bitmap
name compared to the bitmap being exported.

The existing NBD code had a weird split where nbd_export_new()
created an export but did not add it to the list of exported
names until a later nbd_export_set_name() came along and grabbed
a second reference on the object; later, the first call to
nbd_export_close() drops the second reference while removing
the export from the list. This is in part because the QAPI
NbdServerRemoveNode enum documents the possibility of adding a
mode where we could do a soft disconnect: preventing new clients,
but waiting for existing clients to gracefully quit, based on
the mode used when calling nbd_export_close().
But in spite of all that, note that we never change the name of
an NBD export while it is exposed, which means it is easier to
just inline the process of setting the name as part of creating
the export.
Inline the contents of nbd_export_set_name() and
nbd_export_set_description() into the two points in an export
lifecycle where they matter, then adjust both callers to pass
the name up front. Note that for creation, all callers pass a
non-NULL name, (passing NULL at creation was for old style
servers, but we removed support for that in commit 7f7dfe2a),
so we can add an assert and do things unconditionally; but for
cleanup, because of the dual nature of nbd_export_close(), we
still have to be careful to avoid use-after-free. Along the
way, add a comment reminding ourselves of the potential of
adding a middle mode disconnect.

Commit bc37b06a5 added NBD_CMD_CACHE support, but used the wrong value
for NBD_FLAG_SEND_CACHE flag for negotiation. That commit picked bit 8,
which had already been assigned by the NBD specification to mean
NBD_FLAG_CAN_MULTI_CONN, and which was already implemented in the
Linux kernel as a part of stable userspace-kernel API since 4.10:
"bit 8, NBD_FLAG_CAN_MULTI_CONN: Indicates that the server operates
entirely without cache, or that the cache it uses is shared among all
connections to the given device. In particular, if this flag is
present, then the effects of NBD_CMD_FLUSH and NBD_CMD_FLAG_FUA
MUST be visible across all connections when the server sends its reply
to that command to the client. In the absense of this flag, clients
SHOULD NOT multiplex their commands over more than one connection to
the export.
...
bit 10, NBD_FLAG_SEND_CACHE: documents that the server understands
NBD_CMD_CACHE; however, note that server implementations exist
which support the command without advertising this bit, and
conversely that this bit does not guarantee that the command will
succeed or have an impact."
Consequences:
- a client trying to use NBD_CMD_CACHE per the NBD spec will not
see the feature as available from a qemu 3.0 server (not fatal,
clients already have to be prepared for caching to not exist)
- a client accidentally coded to the qemu 3.0 bit value instead
of following the spec may interpret NBD_CMD_CACHE as being available
when it is not (probably not fatal, the spec says the server should
gracefully fail unknown commands, and that clients of NBD_CMD_CACHE
should be prepared for failure even when the feature is advertised);
such clients are unlikely (perhaps only in unreleased Virtuozzo code),
and will disappear over time
- a client prepared to use multiple connections based on
NBD_FLAG_CAN_MULTI_CONN may cause data corruption when it assumes
that caching is consistent when in reality qemu 3.0 did not have
a consistent cache. Partially mitigated by using read-only
connections (where nothing needs to be flushed, so caching is
indeed consistent) or when using qemu-nbd with the default -e 1
(at most one client at a time); visible only when using -e 2 or
more for a writable export.
Thus the commit fixes negotiation flag in QEMU according to the
specification.

In order to test that the NBD server is properly advertising
dirty bitmaps, we need a bare minimum client that can request
and read the context. Since feature freeze for 3.0 is imminent,
this is the smallest workable patch, which replaces the qemu
block status report with the results of the NBD server's dirty
bitmap (making it very easy to use 'qemu-img map --output=json'
to learn where the dirty portions are). Note that the NBD
protocol defines a dirty section with the same bit but opposite
sense that normal "base:allocation" uses to report an allocated
section; so in qemu-img map output, "data":true corresponds to
clean, "data":false corresponds to dirty.
A more complete solution that allows dirty bitmaps to be queried
at the same time as normal block status will be required before
this addition can lose the x- prefix. Until then, the fact that
this replaces normal status with dirty status means actions
like 'qemu-img convert' will likely misbehave due to treating
dirty regions of the file as if they are unallocated.
The next patch adds an iotest to exercise this new code.
