[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5 04/11] nbd/server: Report error for write to read-only export

[Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>]

When the server is read-only, we were already reporting an error
message for NBD_CMD_WRITE_ZEROES, but failed to set errp for a
similar NBD_CMD_WRITE.  This will matter more once structured
replies allow the server to propagate the errp information back
to the client.  While at it, use an error message that makes a
bit more sense if viewed on the client side.

Note that when using qemu-io to test qemu-nbd behavior, it is
rather difficult to convince qemu-io to send protocol violations
(such as a read beyond bounds), because we have a lot of active
checking on the client side that a qemu-io request makes sense
before it ever goes over the wire to the server.  The case of a
client attempting a write when the server is started as
'qemu-nbd -r' is one of the few places where we can easily test
error path handling, without having to resort to hacking in known
temporary bugs to either the server or client.  [Maybe we want a
future patch to the client to do up-front checking on writes to a
read-only export, the way it does up-front bounds checking; but I
don't see anything in the NBD spec that points to a protocol
violation in our current behavior.]
