nbd/client: Add hint when TLS is missing
I received an off-list report of failure to connect to an NBD server expecting an x509 certificate, when the client was attempting something similar to this command line: $ ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -name 'blah' -machine q35 -nodefaults \ -object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,endpoint=client,dir=$path_to_certs \ -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=virtio_scsi_pci0,bus=pcie.0,addr=0x6 \ -drive id=drive_image1,if=none,snapshot=off,aio=threads,cache=none,format=raw,file=nbd:localhost:9000,werror=stop,rerror=stop,tls-creds=tls0 \ -device scsi-hd,id=image1,drive=drive_image1,bootindex=0 qemu-system-x86_64: -drive id=drive_image1,if=none,snapshot=off,aio=threads,cache=none,format=raw,file=nbd:localhost:9000,werror=stop,rerror=stop,tls-creds=tls0: TLS negotiation required before option 7 (go) server reported: Option 0x7 not permitted before TLS The problem? As specified, -drive is trying to pass tls-creds to the raw format driver instead of the nbd protocol driver, but before we get to the point where we can detect that raw doesn't know what to do with tls-creds, the nbd driver has already failed because the server complained. The fix to the broken command line? Pass '...,file.tls-creds=tls0' to ensure the tls-creds option is handed to nbd, not raw. But since the error message was rather cryptic, I'm trying to improve the error message. With this patch, the error message adds a line: qemu-system-x86_64: -drive id=drive_image1,if=none,snapshot=off,aio=threads,cache=none,format=raw,file=nbd:localhost:9000,werror=stop,rerror=stop,tls-creds=tls0: TLS negotiation required before option 7 (go) Did you forget a valid tls-creds? server reported: Option 0x7 not permitted before TLS And with luck, someone grepping for that error message will find this commit message and figure out their command line mistake. Sadly, the only mention of file.tls-creds in our docs relates to an --image-opts use of PSK encryption with qemu-img as the client, rather than x509 certificate encryption with qemu-kvm as the client.
