you get various I/O errors in client. As negative return values indicate 
I/O errors. When now a big positive value is returned by librbd 
block/rbd tries to store this one in acb->ret which is an int. Then it 
wraps around and is negative. After that block/rbd thinks this is an I/O 
error and report this to the guest.
