Add command for export removing. It is needed for cases when we
don't want to keep export after the operation on it was completed.
The other example is temporary node, created with blockdev-add.
If we want to delete it we should firstly remove corresponding
NBD export.

Do we want a third mode in the middle, where the server starts
replying
to all existing clients with ESHUTDOWN errors for all new requests
rather than abruptly disconnecting (no new I/O, but no forced
disconnect
and pending in-flight transactions can still complete gracefully)?
looks interesting. what about the following naming?
@mode: possible values:
hide - just hide server from new clients, maintain
existing connections,
remove after all clients disconnected
soft - like hide, but answer with ESHUTDOWN for all
further requests from
existing connections
hard - hard disconnect all clients and remove server
(default: soft)
Or even a fourth mode that causes an immediate error return without
state change if there are any connected clients, but otherwise removes
the server.
new corresponding states of nbd export:
hidden, shutting_down
and we allow transitions:
normal_execution -> hidden
normal_execution -> shutting_down
normal_execution -> exit
hidden -> shutting_down
hidden -> exit
shutting_down -> exit
Seems reasonable. Are you planning on tackling a respin of this series
incorporating that idea?
yes, will do.
Discussed with Nikolay.
For now we actually need only one mode: hard.
In near future we _may be_ will need your proposed fourth mode (what
about "safe" name for it ?)
I was going to implement all 4 modes, but now I doubt, isn't it too
hastily, to introduce 3 new modes to the
interface, which we (personally) do not need. May be it is better to
start from one or two modes.
Finally what do you think, Eric? Which modes do you need?
ps: I've created hmp version for 2/6, it will be in v2.
also, I'm going to add query-nbd-server, which should list all exports
also, about HMP: If I understand correctly, people use it because
writing qmp command by hand is not very comfortable.
I have a script (for managing libvirt guest, but it can be adopted for
qemu or even used for qemu monitor), which allows
me run qmp commands on vms as easy as:
|qmp VMNAME query-block-jobs or qmp VMNAME nbd-server-remove name exp1
mode hard or even |
|qmp VMNAME blockdev-add id disk driver qcow2 cache {writeback true
direct true} aio native discard unmap file {driver file filename
/tmp/somedisk} |||
