From 9d8f818cdee83e726a5dd14b645738ec632d2577 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Blake Date: Wed, 8 Nov 2017 15:57:01 -0600 Subject: nbd-client: Short-circuit 0-length operations The NBD spec was recently clarified to state that clients should not send 0-length requests to the server, as the server behavior is undefined [1]. We know that qemu-nbd's behavior is a successful no-op (once it has filtered for read-only exports), but other NBD implementations might return an error. To avoid any questionable server implementations, it is better to just short-circuit such requests on the client side (we are relying on the block layer to already filter out requests such as invalid offset, write to a read-only volume, and so forth); do the short-circuit as late as possible to still benefit from protections from assertions that the block layer is not violating our assumptions.
