In order to properly refcount the various aspects of a NBD device we need to separate out the configuration elements of the nbd device. The configuration of a NBD device has a different lifetime from the actual device, so it doesn't make sense to bundle these two concepts. Add a config_refs to keep track of the configuration structure, that way we can be sure that we never access it when we've torn down the device. Add a new nbd_config structure to hold all of the transient configuration information. Finally create this when we open the device so that it is in place when we start to configure the device. This has a nice side-effect of fixing a long standing problem where you could end up with a half-configured nbd device that needed to be "disconnected" in order to be usable again. Now once we close our device the configuration will be discarded. Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <jbacik@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com> |

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
