A netlink interface was added to the kernel for NBD. See https://docs.rs/nbd-netlink/0.1.0/nbd_netlink/ for an example rust implementation. The advertised benefits are:

Creating the NBD device in real time - This is great because disk queues persisting after disconnect is a real pain
Not having a child process/thread stuck in NBD_DO_IT - This would make disconnect logic considerably nicer
