The mon_addrs buffer in rbd_add is used to hold a copy of the monitor IP addresses supplied via /sys/bus/rbd/add. That is passed to rbd_get_client(), which never modifies it (nor do any of the functions it gets passed to thereafter)--the mon_addr parameter to rbd_get_client() is a pointer to constant data, so it can't be modifed. Furthermore, rbd_get_client() has the length of the mon_addrs buffer and that is used to ensure nothing goes beyond its end. Based on all this, there is no reason that a buffer needs to be used to hold a copy of the mon_addrs provided via /sys/bus/rbd/add. Instead, the location within that passed-in buffer can be provided, along with the length of the "token" therein which represents the monitor IP's. A small change to rbd_add_parse_args() allows the address within the buffer to be passed back, and the length is already returned. This now means that, at least from the perspective of this interface, there is no such thing as a list of monitor addresses that is too long. Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <elder@dreamhost.com>
