[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] nbd: Don't trim unrequested bytes

[Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>]

Similar to commit df7b97ff, we are mishandling clients that
give an unaligned NBD_CMD_TRIM request, and potentially
trimming bytes that occur before their request; which in turn
can cause potential unintended data loss (unlikely in
practice, since most clients are sane and issue aligned trim
requests).  However, while we fixed read and write by switching
to the byte interfaces of blk_, we don't yet have a byte
interface for discard.  On the other hand, trim is advisory, so
rounding the user's request to simply ignore the first and last
unaligned sectors (or the entire request, if it is sub-sector
in length) is just fine.
