Subject[PATCH 29/88] nbd: fsync and kill block device on shutdown
Date
3.5.7.8 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

commit 3a2d63f87989e01437ba994df5f297528c353d7d upstream.

There are two problems with shutdown in the NBD driver.

1: Receiving the NBD_DISCONNECT ioctl does not sync the filesystem.

This patch adds the sync operation into __nbd_ioctl()'s
NBD_DISCONNECT handler. This is useful because BLKFLSBUF is restricted
to processes that have CAP_SYS_ADMIN, and the NBD client may not
possess it (fsync of the block device does not sync the filesystem,
either).

2: Once we clear the socket we have no guarantee that later reads will
come from the same backing storage.

The patch adds calls to kill_bdev() in __nbd_ioctl()'s socket
clearing code so the page cache is cleaned, lest reads that hit on the
page cache will return stale data from the previously-accessible disk.

Example:

# qemu-nbd -r -c/dev/nbd0 /dev/sr0
# file -s /dev/nbd0
/dev/stdin: # UDF filesystem data (version 1.5) etc.
# qemu-nbd -d /dev/nbd0
# qemu-nbd -r -c/dev/nbd0 /dev/sda
# file -s /dev/nbd0
/dev/stdin: # UDF filesystem data (version 1.5) etc.

While /dev/sda has:

# file -s /dev/sda
/dev/sda: x86 boot sector; etc.
