009cd8665095a04115940704d680a52dcc49d489 nbd/server: Support a request payload
Upcoming additions to support NBD 64-bit effect lengths allow for the
possibility to distinguish between payload length (capped at 32M) and
effect length (64 bits, although we generally assume 63 bits because
of off_t limitations). Without that extension, only the NBD_CMD_WRITE
request has a payload; but with the extension, it makes sense to allow
at least NBD_CMD_BLOCK_STATUS to have both a payload and effect length
in a future patch (where the payload is a limited-size struct that in
turn gives the real effect length as well as a subset of known ids for
which status is requested). Other future NBD commands may also have a
request payload, so the 64-bit extension introduces a new
NBD_CMD_FLAG_PAYLOAD_LEN that distinguishes between whether the header
length is a payload length or an effect length, rather than
hard-coding the decision based on the command.
According to the spec, a client should never send a command with a
payload without the negotiation phase proving such extension is
available. So in the unlikely event the bit is set or cleared
incorrectly, the client is already at fault; if the client then
provides the payload, we can gracefully consume it off the wire and
fail the command with NBD_EINVAL (subsequent checks for magic numbers
ensure we are still in sync), while if the client fails to send
payload we block waiting for it (basically deadlocking our connection
to the bad client, but not negatively impacting our ability to service
other clients, so not a security risk). Note that we do not support
the payload version of BLOCK_STATUS yet.
This patch also fixes a latent bug introduced in b2578459: once
request->len can be 64 bits, assigning it to a 32-bit payload_len can
cause wraparound to 0 which then sets req->complete prematurely;
thankfully, the bug was not possible back then (it takes this and
later patches to even allow request->len larger than 32 bits; and
since previously the only 'payload_len = request->len' assignment was
in NBD_CMD_WRITE which also sets check_length, which in turn rejects
lengths larger than 32M before relying on any possibly-truncated value
stored in payload_len).
