Externally, libnbd exposed the 64-bit opaque marker for each client
NBD packet as the "cookie", because it was less confusing when
contrasted with 'struct nbd_handle *' holding all libnbd state. It
also avoids confusion between the noun 'handle' as a way to identify a
packet and the verb 'handle' for reacting to things like signals.
Upstream NBD changed their spec to favor the name "cookie" based on
libnbd's recommendations[1], so we can do likewise.

Upstream NBD now documents[1] an extension that supports 64-bit effect
lengths in requests. As part of that extension, the size of the reply
headers will change in order to permit a 64-bit length in the reply
for symmetry[2]. Additionally, where the reply header is currently 16
bytes for simple reply, and 20 bytes for structured reply; with the
extension enabled, there will only be one extended reply header, of 32
bytes, with both structured and extended modes sending identical
payloads for chunked replies.
Since we are already wired up to use iovecs, it is easiest to allow
for this change in header size by splitting each structured reply
across multiple iovecs, one for the header (which will become wider in
a future patch according to client negotiation), and the other(s) for
the chunk payload, and removing the header from the payload struct
definitions. Rename the affected functions with s/structured/chunk/
to make it obvious that the code will be reused in extended mode.
Interestingly, the client side code never utilized the packed types,
so only the server code needs to be updated.
[1] https://github.com/NetworkBlockDevice/nbd/blob/extension-ext-header/doc/proto.md
as of NBD commit e6f3b94a934
[2] Note that on the surface, this is because some future server might
permit a 4G+ NBD_CMD_READ and need to reply with that much data in one
transaction. But even though the extended reply length is widened to
64 bits, for now the NBD spec is clear that servers will not reply
with more than a maximum payload bounded by the 32-bit
NBD_INFO_BLOCK_SIZE field; allowing a client and server to mutually
agree to transactions larger than 4G would require yet another
extension.

A server may have a reason to reject a request for structured replies,
beyond just not recognizing them as a valid request; similarly, it may
have a reason for rejecting a request for a meta context. It doesn't
hurt us to continue talking to such a server; otherwise 'qemu-nbd
--list' of such a server fails to display all available details about
the export.
Encountered when temporarily tweaking nbdkit to reply with
NBD_REP_ERR_POLICY. Present since structured reply support was first
added (commit d795299b reused starttls handling, but starttls is
different in that we can't fall back to other behavior on any error).
Note that for an unencrypted client trying to connect to a server that
requires encryption, this defers the point of failure to when we
finally execute a strict command (such as NBD_OPT_GO or NBD_OPT_LIST),
now that the intermediate NBD_OPT_STRUCTURED_REPLY does not diagnose
NBD_REP_ERR_TLS_REQD as fatal; but as the protocol eventually gets us
to a command where we can't continue onwards, the changed error
message doesn't cause any security concerns.

[eblake: fix iotest 233]
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.

Right now, nbd_receive_list() is only called by
nbd_receive_query_exports(), which in turn is only called if the
server lacks NBD_OPT_GO but has working option negotiation, and is
merely used as a quality-of-implementation trick since servers
can't give decent errors for NBD_OPT_EXPORT_NAME. However, servers
that lack NBD_OPT_GO are becoming increasingly rare (nbdkit was a
latecomer, in Aug 2018, but qemu has been such a server since commit
f37708f6 in July 2017 and released in 2.10), so it no longer makes
sense to micro-optimize that function for performance.
Furthermore, when debugging a server's implementation, tracing the
full reply (both names and descriptions) is useful, not to mention
that upcoming patches adding 'qemu-nbd --list' will want to collect
that data. And when you consider that a server can send an export
name up to the NBD protocol length limit of 4k; but our current
NBD_MAX_NAME_SIZE is only 256, we can't trace all valid server
names without more storage, but 4k is large enough that the heap
is better than the stack for long names.
Thus, I'm changing the division of labor, with nbd_receive_list()
now always malloc'ing a result on success (the malloc is bounded
by the fact that we reject servers with a reply length larger
than 32M), and moving the comparison to 'wantname' to the caller.
There is a minor change in behavior where a server with 0 exports
(an immediate NBD_REP_ACK reply) is now no longer distinguished
from a server without LIST support (NBD_REP_ERR_UNSUP); this
information could be preserved with a complication to the calling
contract to provide a bit more information, but I didn't see the
point. After all, the worst that can happen if our guess at a
match is wrong is that the caller will get a cryptic disconnect
when NBD_OPT_EXPORT_NAME fails (which is no different from what
would happen if we had not tried LIST), while treating an empty
list as immediate failure would prevent connecting to really old
servers that really did lack LIST. Besides, NBD servers with 0
exports are rare (qemu can do it when using QMP nbd-server-start
without nbd-server-add - but qemu understands NBD_OPT_GO and
thus won't tickle this change in behavior).
Fix the spelling of foundExport to match coding standards while
in the area.

The reason that NBD added structured reply in the first place was
to allow for efficient reads of sparse files, by allowing the
reply to include chunks to quickly communicate holes to the client
without sending lots of zeroes over the wire. Time to implement
this in the server; our client can already read such data.
We can only skip holes insofar as the block layer can query them;
and only if the client is okay with a fragmented request (if a
client requests NBD_CMD_FLAG_DF and the entire read is a hole, we
could technically return a single NBD_REPLY_TYPE_OFFSET_HOLE, but
that's a fringe case not worth catering to here). Sadly, the
control flow is a bit wonkier than I would have preferred, but
it was minimally invasive to have a split in the action between
a fragmented read (handled directly where we recognize
NBD_CMD_READ with the right conditions, and sending multiple
chunks) vs. a single read (handled at the end of nbd_trip, for
both simple and structured replies, when we know there is only
one thing being read). Likewise, I didn't make any effort to
optimize the final chunk of a fragmented read to set the
NBD_REPLY_FLAG_DONE, but unconditionally send that as a separate
NBD_REPLY_TYPE_NONE.

The NBD spec was recently clarified to state that a read of length 0
should not be attempted by a compliant client; but that a server must
still handle it correctly in an unspecified manner (that is, either
a successful no-op or an error reply, but not a crash) [1]. However,
it also implies that NBD_REPLY_TYPE_OFFSET_DATA must have a non-zero
payload length, but our existing code was replying with a chunk
that a picky client could reject as invalid because it was missing
a payload (our own client implementation was recently patched to be
that picky, after first fixing it to not send 0-length requests).
We are already doing successful no-ops for 0-length writes and for
non-structured reads; so for consistency, we want structured reply
reads to also be a no-op. The easiest way to do this is to return
a NBD_REPLY_TYPE_NONE chunk; this is best done via a new helper
function (especially since future patches for other structured
replies may benefit from using the same helper).

block sizes (perhaps by an addition to sysfs, rather than an
ioctl), as well as any way to tell the kernel what additional
block sizes to obey (NBD_SET_BLKSIZE appears to be accurate
for the minimum size, but preferred and maximum sizes would
probably be new ioctl()s), so until then, we need to make our
request for block sizes conditional.
When using ioctl(NBD_SET_BLKSIZE) to hand off to the kernel,
use the minimum block size as the sector size if it is larger
than 512, which also has the nice effect of cooperating with
(non-qemu) servers that don't do read-modify-write when
exposing a block device with 4k sectors; it might also allow
us to visit a file larger than 2T on a 32-bit kernel.

The upstream NBD Protocol has defined a new extension to allow
the server to advertise block sizes to the client, as well as
a way for the client to inform the server that it intends to
obey block sizes.
Thanks to a recent fix (commit df7b97ff), our real minimum
transfer size is always 1 (the block layer takes care of
read-modify-write on our behalf), but we're still more efficient
if we advertise 512 when the client supports it, as follows:
- OPT_INFO, but no NBD_INFO_BLOCK_SIZE: advertise 512, then
fail with NBD_REP_ERR_BLOCK_SIZE_REQD; client is free to try
something else since we don't disconnect
- OPT_INFO with NBD_INFO_BLOCK_SIZE: advertise 512
- OPT_GO, but no NBD_INFO_BLOCK_SIZE: advertise 1
- OPT_GO with NBD_INFO_BLOCK_SIZE: advertise 512
We can also advertise the optimum block size (presumably the
cluster size, when exporting a qcow2 file), and our absolute
maximum transfer size of 32M, to help newer clients avoid
EINVAL failures or abrupt disconnects on oversize requests.
We do not reject clients for using the older NBD_OPT_EXPORT_NAME;
we are no worse off for those clients than we used to be.

NBD_OPT_EXPORT_NAME is lousy: per the NBD protocol, any failure
requires the server to close the connection rather than report an
error to us. Therefore, upstream NBD recently added NBD_OPT_GO as
the improved version of the option that does what we want [1]: it
reports sane errors on failures, and on success provides at least
as much info as NBD_OPT_EXPORT_NAME.
[1] https://github.com/NetworkBlockDevice/nbd/blob/extension-info/doc/proto.md
This is a first cut at use of the information types. Note that we
do not need to use NBD_OPT_INFO, and that use of NBD_OPT_GO means
we no longer have to use NBD_OPT_LIST to learn whether a server
requires TLS (this requires servers that gracefully handle unknown
NBD_OPT, many servers prior to qemu 2.5 were buggy, but I have patched
qemu, upstream nbd, and nbdkit in the meantime, in part because of
interoperability testing with this patch). We still fall back to
NBD_OPT_LIST when NBD_OPT_GO is not supported on the server, as it
is still one last chance for a nicer error message. Later patches
will use further info, like NBD_INFO_BLOCK_SIZE.

This is a first cut at the information types, and only passes the
same information already available through NBD_OPT_LIST and
NBD_OPT_EXPORT_NAME; items like NBD_INFO_BLOCK_SIZE (and thus any
use of NBD_REP_ERR_BLOCK_SIZE_REQD) are intentionally left for
later patches.

Let NBD use the trace mechanisms already present in qemu. Now you can
use the -trace optino of qemu, or the -T/--trace option of qemu-img,
qemu-io, and qemu-nbd, to select nbd traces. For qemu, the QMP commands
trace-event-{get,set}-state can also toggle tracing on the fly.
Example:
qemu-nbd --trace 'nbd_*' <image file> # enables all nbd traces
Recompilation with CFLAGS=-DDEBUG_NBD is no more needed, furthermore,
DEBUG_NBD macro is removed from the code.
