    nbd: correct disconnect behavior · c378f70a
    Paul Clements authored
    
    
    Currently, when a disconnect is requested by the user (via NBD_DISCONNECT
    ioctl) the return from NBD_DO_IT is undefined (it is usually one of
    several error codes).  This means that nbd-client does not know if a
    manual disconnect was performed or whether a network error occurred.
    Because of this, nbd-client's persist mode (which tries to reconnect after
    error, but not after manual disconnect) does not always work correctly.
    
    This change fixes this by causing NBD_DO_IT to always return 0 if a user
    requests a disconnect.  This means that nbd-client can correctly either
    persist the connection (if an error occurred) or disconnect (if the user
    requested it).
