From: Eric Blake <ebl...@redhat.com> The NBD spec says that a server may fail any transmission request with ESHUTDOWN when it is apparent that no further request from the client can be successfully honored. The client is supposed to then initiate a soft shutdown (wait for all remaining in-flight requests to be answered, then send NBD_CMD_DISC). However, since qemu's server never uses ESHUTDOWN errors, this code was mostly untested since its introduction in commit b6f5d3b5.
More recently, I learned that nbdkit as the NBD server is able to send ESHUTDOWN errors, so I finally tested this code, and noticed that our client was special-casing ESHUTDOWN to cause a hard shutdown (immediate disconnect, with no NBD_CMD_DISC), but only if the server sends this error as a simple reply. Further investigation found that commit d2febedb introduced a regression where structured replies behave differently than simple replies - but that the structured reply behavior is more in line with the spec (even if we still lack code in nbd-client.c to properly quit sending further requests). So this patch reverts the portion of b6f5d3b5 that introduced an improper hard-disconnect special-case at the lower level, and leaves the future enhancement of a nicer soft-disconnect at the higher level for another day.
