[Qemu-devel] [PULL 04/14] nbd: Permit simple error to NBD_CMD_BLOCK_STATUS

[Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>]

The NBD spec is clear that when structured replies are active, a
simple error reply is acceptable to any command except for
NBD_CMD_READ.  However, we were mistakenly requiring structured errors
for NBD_CMD_BLOCK_STATUS, and hanging up on a server that gave a
simple error (since qemu does not behave as such a server, we didn't
notice the problem until now).  Broken since its introduction in
commit 78a33ab5 (v2.12).

Noticed while debugging a separate failure reported by nbdkit while
working out its initial implementation of BLOCK_STATUS, although it
turns out that nbdkit also chose to send structured error replies for
BLOCK_STATUS, so I had to manually provoke the situation by hacking
qemu's server to send a simple error reply:
