nbd/server: Trace client noncompliance on unaligned requests
We've recently added traces for clients to flag server non-compliance;
let's do the same for servers to flag client non-compliance. According
to the spec, if the client requests NBD_INFO_BLOCK_SIZE, it is
promising to send all requests aligned to those boundaries. Of
course, if the client does not request NBD_INFO_BLOCK_SIZE, then it
made no promises so we shouldn't flag anything; and because we are
willing to handle clients that made no promises (the spec allows us to
use NBD_REP_ERR_BLOCK_SIZE_REQD if we had been unwilling), we already
have to handle unaligned requests (which the block layer already does
on our behalf). So even though the spec allows us to return EINVAL
for clients that promised to behave, it's easier to always answer
unaligned requests. Still, flagging non-compliance can be useful in
debugging a client that is trying to be maximally portable.
Qemu as client used to have one spot where it sent non-compliant
requests: if the server sends an unaligned reply to
NBD_CMD_BLOCK_STATUS, and the client was iterating over the entire
disk, the next request would start at that unaligned point; this was
fixed in commit a39286dd when the client was taught to work around
server non-compliance; but is equally fixed if the server is patched
to not send unaligned replies in the first place (yes, qemu 4.0 as
server still has few such bugs, although they will be patched in
4.1). Fortunately, I did not find any more spots where qemu as client
was non-compliant. I was able to test the patch by using the following
hack to convince qemu-io to run various unaligned commands, coupled
with serving 512-byte alignment by intentionally omitting '-f raw' on
the server while viewing server traces.
