    nbd: Honor server's advertised minimum block size · fd8d372d
    Eric Blake 提交于
    Commit 79ba8c98 (v2.7) changed the setting of request_alignment
    to occur only during bdrv_refresh_limits(), rather than at at
    bdrv_open() time; but at the time, NBD was unaffected, because
    it still used sector-based callbacks, so the block layer
    defaulted NBD to use 512 request_alignment.
    
    Later, commit 70c4fb26 (also v2.7) changed NBD to use byte-based
    callbacks, without setting request_alignment.  This resulted in
    NBD using request_alignment of 1, which works great when the
    server supports it (as is the case for qemu-nbd), but falls apart
    miserably if the server requires alignment (but only if qemu
    actually sends a sub-sector request; qemu-io can do it, but
    most qemu operations still perform on sectors or larger).
    
    Even later, the NBD protocol was updated to document that clients
    should learn the server's minimum alignment during NBD_OPT_GO;
    and recommended that clients should assume a minimum size of 512
    unless the server understands NBD_OPT_GO and replied with a smaller
    size.  Commit 081dd1fe (v2.10) attempted to do that, by assigning
    request_alignment to whatever was learned from the server; but
    it has two flaws: the assignment is done during bdrv_open() so
    it gets unconditionally wiped out back to 1 during any later
    bdrv_refresh_limits(); and the code is not using a default of 512
    when the server did not report a minimum size.
    
    Fix these issues by moving the assignment to request_alignment
    to the right function, and by using a sane default when the
    server does not advertise a minimum size.
