Thanks Stefan, those commits are enough to make dataplane drive work well with runtime nbd server. By the way, can such functionality improvements (not major improvements like discard support for scsi) make their way as backports? To reword this, unexpected behavior like sudden shutdown I described is better to be closed by later fixes than by stubs or left as it currently behaving IMO.
