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.

Move these things into the nbd-server-add QMP command handler so that
they apply only there.

Interesting.  I would have added it this way from the start then (with a
note that we’ll need it later).

This copies *arg’s contents...

...and here you only modify the original *arg, but not
export_opts.u.nbd.  So I don’t think this will have any effect.

The longer it gets, the more I think maybe it should be in some NBD file
like blockdev-nbd.c after all.

I think asserting that the nbd_exp->eject_notifier is unused so far
would make sense (e.g. just checking that eject_notifier_blk is NULL).

I thought I had tested this... Well, good catch, thanks.

Fair enough. Though I think blockdev-nbd.c in the root directory is
something that shouldn't even exist.

But I guess I can just leave the functions where they are and we can
move the file another day.

Makes sense.

Absolutely.  But unless you (or someone™ else) doesn’t do anything about
it, we may as well continue to (ab)use it. O:)

I'd be happy for this to be an error even with nbd-export-add; I don't 
think it would harm any of libvirt's existing usage (either for storage 
migration, or for incremental backups).

Side note: In the past, I had a proposal to enhance the NBD Protocol to 
allow a client to advertise to the server its intent on being a 
read-only or read-write client.  Not relevant to this patch, but this 
part of the commit message reminds me that I should revisit that topic 
(Rich and I recently hit another case in nbdkit where such an extension 
would be nice, when it comes to using NBD's multi-conn for better 
performance on a read-only connection, but only if the server knows the 
client intends to be read-only)

Here, keeping the nbd command different from the block-export command 
seems tolerable.  On the other hand, I wonder if Peter needs to change 
anything in libvirt's incremental backup code to handle this sudden 
disappearance of an NBD device during a disk hot-unplug (that is, either 
the presence of an ongoing pull-mode backup should block disk unplug, or 
libvirt needs a way to guarantee that an ongoing backup NBD device 
remains in spite of subsequent disk actions on the guest).  Depending on 
libvirt's needs, we may want to revisit the nbd command to have the same 
policy as block-export-add, plus an introspectible feature notation.

I'd be happy with either marking this deprecated now (and fixing it in 
two releases), or declaring it a bug in nbd-server-add now (and fixing 
it outright).

Wait - is the magic export removal tied only to exporting a drive name, 
and not a node name?  So as long as libvirt is using only node names 
whwen adding exports, a drive being unplugged won't interfere?

Overall, the change makes sense to me, although I'd love to see if we 
could go further on the writable vs. read-only issue.

As long as we can keep the compatibility code local to qmp_nbd_*(), I
don't think it's too bad. In particular because it's already written.

Instead of adjusting libvirt to changes in the nbd-* commands, I'd
rather have it change over to block-export-*. I would like to see the
nbd-server-add/remove commands deprecated soon after we have the
replacements.

How about deprecating nbd-server-add completely?

Yes, seems so. It's the existing behaviour, I'm only moving the code
around.

If nbd-server-add will be going away relatively soon, it's probably not
worth the trouble. But if you have reasons to keep it, maybe we should
consider it.

Makes sense to me. So deprecate nbd-server-add in 5.2, and require 
block-export in 6.1.

Works for me. Keeping the warts backwards-compatible in nbd-server-add 
is more palatable if we know we are going to drop it wholesale down the 
road.

No, I'm fine with the idea of getting rid of nbd-server-add, at which 
point changing it before removal is pointless.

I agree that this is a better approach. While it's technically possible
to retrofit old commands since QMP schema introspection allows granilar
detection of what's happening in this regard using a new command is IMO
better. Specifically for APPS which might not use QMP introspection to
the extent libvirt does.
