2013-06-28block/ssh: Set bdrv_has_zero_init according to the file type.Richard W.M. Jones
If the remote is a regular file, set it to true (ie. reads of uninitialized areas in a newly created file will return zeroes). If we can't prove that, return false (a safe default). Tested by adding a debugging print statement [not part of this commit] and creating a remote file and a remote block device: $ ./qemu-img create ssh://localhost/tmp/new 100M Formatting 'ssh://localhost/tmp/new', fmt=raw size=104857600 filename ssh://localhost/tmp/new: has_zero_init = 1 $ sudo lvcreate -L 1G -n tmp /dev/fedora Logical volume "tmp" created $ ./qemu-img create ssh://localhost/dev/fedora/tmp 1G Formatting 'ssh://localhost/dev/fedora/tmp', fmt=raw size=1073741824 filename ssh://localhost/dev/fedora/tmp: has_zero_init = 0 Cc: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com> Cc: qemu-stable@nongnu.org Signed-off-by: Richard W.M.

2013-04-15block: ssh: Use libssh2_sftp_fsync (if supported by libssh2) to flush to disk.Richard W.M. Jones
libssh2_sftp_fsync is an extension to libssh2 to support fsync(2) over sftp, which is itself an extension of OpenSSH. If both libssh2 and the ssh daemon support it, this will allow bdrv_flush_to_disk to commit changes through to disk on the remote server. Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>
2013-04-15block: Add support for Secure Shell (ssh) block device.Richard W.M. Jones
qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=ssh://hostname/some/image QEMU will ssh into 'hostname' and open '/some/image' which is made available as a standard block device. You can specify a username (ssh://user@host/...) and/or a port number (ssh://host:port/...). You can also use an alternate syntax using properties (file.user, file.host, file.port, file.path). Current limitations: - Authentication must be done without passwords or passphrases, using ssh-agent. Other authentication methods are not supported. - Uses a single connection, instead of concurrent AIO with multiple SSH connections. This is implemented using libssh2 on the client side. The server just requires a regular ssh daemon with sftp-server support. Most ssh daemons on Unix/Linux systems will work out of the box. Signed-off-by: Richard W.M.
