> Hm, what do you think about some specific error value returned by your delayed NBD implementation? Like -ENOTCONN or something like that? Then we'd be able to discern a real 0-length block device from a not-yet-connected NBD server.

In my newest test, it cannot return -ENOTCONN, otherwise bdrv_open() will fail when we open the child.
Here is the backtrace:

refresh_total_sectors() will fail if we return -ENOTCONN.
