3.4-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.
