nbd: Fix regression on resiliency to port scan
Back in qemu 2.5, qemu-nbd was immune to port probes (a transient server would not quit, regardless of how many probe connections came and went, until a connection actually negotiated). But we broke that in commit ee7d7aa when removing the return value to nbd_client_new(), although that patch also introduced a bug causing an assertion failure on a client that fails negotiation. We then made it worse during refactoring in commit 1a6245a (a segfault before we could even assert); the (masked) assertion was cleaned up in d3780c2 (still in 2.6), and just recently we finally fixed the segfault ("nbd: Fully intialize client in case of failed negotiation"). But that still means that ever since we added TLS support to qemu-nbd, we have been vulnerable to an ill-timed port-scan being able to cause a denial of service by taking down qemu-nbd before a real client has a chance to connect. Since negotiation is now handled asynchronously via coroutines, we no longer have a synchronous point of return by re-adding a return value to nbd_client_new(). So this patch instead wires things up to pass the negotiation status through the close_fn callback function. Simple test across two terminals: $ qemu-nbd -f raw -p 30001 file $ nmap 127.0.0.1 -p 30001 && \ qemu-io -c 'r 0 512' -f raw nbd://localhost:30001 Note that this patch does not change what constitutes successful negotiation (thus, a client must enter transmission phase before that client can be considered as a reason to terminate the server when the connection ends). Perhaps we may want to tweak things in a later patch to also treat a client that uses NBD_OPT_ABORT as being a 'successful' negotiation (the client correctly talked the NBD protocol, and informed us it was not going to use our export after all), but that's a discussion for another day.
