From c378f70adbc1bbecd9e6db145019f14b2f688c7c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Clements Date: Wed, 3 Jul 2013 15:09:04 -0700 Subject: nbd: correct disconnect behavior Currently, when a disconnect is requested by the user (via NBD_DISCONNECT ioctl) the return from NBD_DO_IT is undefined (it is usually one of several error codes). This means that nbd-client does not know if a manual disconnect was performed or whether a network error occurred. Because of this, nbd-client's persist mode (which tries to reconnect after error, but not after manual disconnect) does not always work correctly. This change fixes this by causing NBD_DO_IT to always return 0 if a user requests a disconnect. This means that nbd-client can correctly either persist the connection (if an error occurred) or disconnect (if the user requested it).
