Hi, Matthew

Thanks for your test.

Sorry that I missed this thread. IMO, if inflight requests is cleared by
ioctl NBD_CLEAR_SOCK after my patch [2](or other callers for
nbd_clear_que()), such io will return as error. Thus I don't think such
io errors need to be fixed.

Josef, do you have other suggestions?

Thanks,
Kuai
