From: Max Reitz Date: Sun, 11 Jun 2017 14:37:14 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] qemu-nbd: Ignore SIGPIPE qemu proper has done so for 13 years (8a7ddc38a60648257dc0645ab4a05b33d6040063), qemu-img and qemu-io have done so for four years (526eda14a68d5b3596be715505289b541288ef2a). Ignoring this signal is especially important in qemu-nbd because otherwise a client can easily take down the qemu-nbd server by dropping the connection when the server wants to send something, for example: $ qemu-nbd -x foo -f raw -t null-co:// & [1] 12726 $ qemu-io -c quit nbd://localhost/bar can't open device nbd://localhost/bar: No export with name 'bar' available [1] + 12726 broken pipe qemu-nbd -x foo -f raw -t null-co:// In this case, the client sends an NBD_OPT_ABORT and closes the connection (because it is not required to wait for a reply), but the server replies with an NBD_REP_ACK (because it is required to reply).
