In qemu 4.2, I accidentally introduced the ability for an NBD client obeying the specification to kill qemu as NBD server with an assertion failure when the client requests an unusually long export name, as a regression from the intended graceful server error message back to the client.
In v2: - use strnlen instead of strlen - malloc a sane string rather than using a static buffer [Vladimir] - enhance commit message - tweak iotest to use different abbreviation than qemu-nbd - add R-b on patch 2 Once this is reviewed, I'll then spin v2 of my NBD pull request.
