* [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] ssh: switch from libssh2 to libssh

From: Pino Toscano @ 2016-10-21 11:16 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: qemu-devel, qemu-block; +Cc: rjones, jcody, kwolf, mreitz, ptoscano

Rewrite the implementation of the ssh block driver to use libssh instead
of libssh2.  The libssh library has various advantages over libssh2:
- easier API for authentication (for example for using ssh-agent)
- easier API for known_hosts handling
- supports newer types of keys in known_hosts

Kerberos authentication can be enabled once the libssh bug for it [1] is
fixed.

The development version of libssh (i.e. the future 0.8.x) supports
fsync, so reuse the build time check for this.

IIUC from the code this relies on QEMU being able to talk to an ssh
agent to do public key auth. Is there a way to directly provide the
passphase for the private key (avoiding need for an agent), or to
provide a plani password to libssh ?

If so, you could use the QEMU 'secret' object type to provide these
passphrases & passwords to QEMU, which can in turn pass them to
libssh.

Avoiding the need for ssh agent in this way would make it possible
to use this driver with libvirt in more circumstances.

eg for plain passwords you could do

  $QEMU -object secret,id=sec0,data=mypassword
        -drive driver=ssh,....,password-secret=sec0

while for private key passphrases

  $QEMU -object secret,id=sec0,data=mypassphrase
        -drive driver=ssh,....,key-passphrase-secret=sec0


No need to do this all as part of this patch though - it'd be cleaner to
do this as a separate patch

Regards,
Daniel

This version works, but I also switched from using a remote server to
using this over localhost.

It seems as if the timeout might be a bit short.  Could that be made
controllable?  Or increased to match whatever libssh2 was using?

I couldn't see any other problems in the patch itself.  knownhost and
ssh-agent handling certainly seems much simpler :-)

Before I forget, there's another problem we found with the old ssh
driver: It cannot open a device on the remote side, eg. if you used:
`file.driver=ssh,file.path=/dev/sdX'  I suspect this is not solvable on
the client side, it requires changes to sshd.

Rich.

Yes, both are supported by libssh.

Could you please give it a try with the remote server case as well?

Which timeout are you referring to?

I tried it and it failed with the remote server.  Same kinds of errors
as last time.

Not any particular thing, I just observed that with the remote server
the errors happen quite quickly, and so perhaps there is a shorter
timeout.  (libssh2 apparently defaults to unlimited waiting, although
I'm sure there are other timeouts in ssh or TCP which kick in).)
