[tests] Try several times to connect the ssh server
Sometimes, as the OCI container is run in detached mode, it is possible
the actual server is not ready yet to handle SSH traffic. The goal of
this PR is to try several times (max 3). The mechanism is the same as
for the connection to the docker machine.

Remove openssh_server container on test exit
- [Laurent Stacul brought this change]
Allow the tests to run inside a container
The current tests suite starts SSH server as OCI container. This commit
add the possibility to run the tests in a container provided that:
* the docker client is installed builder container
* the host docker daemon unix socket has been mounted in the builder
container (with, if needed, the DOCKER_HOST environment variable
accordingly set, and the permission to write on this socket)
* the builder container is run on the default bridge network, or the
host network. This PR does not handle the case where the builder
container is on another network.

- CI/appveyor: run SSH server for tests on GitHub Actions (#607)
No longer rely on DigitalOcean to host the Docker container.
Unfortunately we require a small dispatcher script that has
access to a GitHub access token with scope repo in order to
trigger the daemon workflow on GitHub Actions also for PRs.
This script is hosted by myself for the time being until GitHub
provides a tighter scope to trigger the workflow_dispatch event.

agent.c: Add support for Windows OpenSSH agent (#517)
Files: agent.c, agent.h, agent_win.c
Notes:
* agent: Add support for Windows OpenSSH agent
The implementation was partially taken and modified from that found in
the Portable OpenSSH port to Win32 by the PowerShell team, but mostly
based on the existing Unix OpenSSH agent support.
https://github.com/PowerShell/openssh-portable
Regarding the partial transfer support implementation: partial transfers
are easy to deal with, but you need to track additional state when
non-blocking IO enters the picture. A tracker of how many bytes have
been transfered has been placed in the transfer context struct as that's
where it makes most sense. This tracker isn't placed behind a WIN32
#ifdef as it will probably be useful for other agent implementations.
* agent: win32 openssh: Disable overlapped IO
Non-blocking IO is not currently supported by the surrounding agent
code, despite a lot of the code having everything set up to handle it.

Fix _libssh2_random() silently discarding errors (#520)
Notes:
* Make _libssh2_random return code consistent
Previously, _libssh2_random was advertized in HACKING.CRYPTO as
returning `void` (and was implemented that way in os400qc3.c), but that
was in other crypto backends a lie; _libssh2_random is (a macro
expanding) to an int-value expression or function.
Moreover, that returned code was:
— 0 or success, -1 on error for the MbedTLS & WinCNG crypto backends
But also:
— 1 on success, -1 or 0 on error for the OpenSSL backend!
– 1 on success, error cannot happen for libgcrypt!
This commit makes explicit that _libssh2_random can fail (because most of
the underlying crypto functions can indeed fail!), and it makes its result
code consistent: 0 on success, -1 on error.
This is related to issue #519 https://github.com/libssh2/libssh2/issues/519
It fixes the first half of it.
* Don't silent errors of _libssh2_random
Make sure to check the returned code of _libssh2_random(), and
propagates any failure.
A new LIBSSH_ERROR_RANDGEN constant is added to libssh2.h
None of the existing error constants seemed fit.
This commit is related to d74285b68450c0e9ea6d5f8070450837fb1e74a7
and to https://github.com/libssh2/libssh2/issues/519 (see the issue
for more info.) It closes #519.

File:

Notes:
If reading the full output from the executed command took multiple

both of which are not true.

- wincng: fix random big number generation to match openssl
The old function would set the least significant bits in
the most significant byte instead of the most significant bits.
The old function would also zero pad too much bits in the
most significant byte. This lead to a reduction of key space
in the most significant byte according to the following listing:
- 8 bits reduced to 0 bits => eg. 2048 bits to 2040 bits DH key
- 7 bits reduced to 1 bits => eg. 2047 bits to 2041 bits DH key
- 6 bits reduced to 2 bits => eg. 2046 bits to 2042 bits DH key
- 5 bits reduced to 3 bits => eg. 2045 bits to 2043 bits DH key
No change would occur for the case of 4 significant bits.
For 1 to 3 significant bits in the most significant byte
the DH key would actually be expanded instead of reduced:
- 3 bits expanded to 5 bits => eg. 2043 bits to 2045 bits DH key
- 2 bits expanded to 6 bits => eg. 2042 bits to 2046 bits DH key
- 1 bits expanded to 7 bits => eg. 2041 bits to 2047 bits DH key
There is no case of 0 significant bits in the most significant byte
since this would be a case of 8 significant bits in the next byte.
At the moment only the following case applies due to a fixed
DH key size value currently being used in libssh2:
The DH group_order is fixed to 256 (bytes) which leads to a
2047 bits DH key size by calculating (256 * 8) - 1.
This means the DH keyspace was previously reduced from 2047 bits
to 2041 bits (while the top and bottom bits are always set), so the
keyspace is actually always reduced from 2045 bits to 2039 bits.
All of this is only relevant for Windows versions supporting the
WinCNG backend (Vista or newer) before Windows 10 version 1903.

Deleted diffie_hellman_sha1 specific macro
Cleaned up some formatting
Defined sha384 in os400 and wincng backends

openssl.c: clean up curve25519 code (#499)
File: openssl.c, openssl.h, crypto.h, kex.c
Notes:
This cleans up a few things in the curve25519 implementation:
- There is no need to create X509_PUBKEYs or PKCS8_PRIV_KEY_INFOs to
extract key material. EVP_PKEY_get_raw_private_key and
EVP_PKEY_get_raw_public_key work fine.
- libssh2_x25519_ctx was never used (and occasionally mis-typedefed to
libssh2_ed25519_ctx). Remove it. The _libssh2_curve25519_new and
_libssh2_curve25519_gen_k interfaces use the bytes. Note, if it needs
to be added back, there is no need to roundtrip through
EVP_PKEY_new_raw_private_key. EVP_PKEY_keygen already generated an
EVP_PKEY.
- Add some missing error checks.

- wincng: try newer DH API first, fallback to legacy RSA API
Avoid the use of RtlGetVersion or similar Win32 functions,
since these depend on version information from manifests.
This commit makes the WinCNG backend first try to use the
new DH algorithm API with the raw secret derivation feature.
In case this feature is not available the WinCNG backend
will fallback to the classic approach of using RSA-encrypt
to perform the required modular exponentiation of BigNums.
The feature availability test is done during the first handshake
and the result is stored in the crypto backends global state.

buildsystem: drop custom buildconf script, rely on autoreconf (#224)
Notes:
The buildconf script is currently required, because we need to copy a
header around, because it is used both from the library and the examples
sources.
However, having a custom 'buildconf'-like script is not needed if we can
ensure that the header exists by the time it is needed. For that, we can
just append the src/ directory to the headers search path for the
examples.
And then it means we no longer need to generate the same header twice,
so we remove the second one from configure.ac.
Now, we can just call "autoreconf -fi" to generate the autotools files,
instead of relying on the canned sequence in "buildconf", since
autoreconf has now long known what to do at the correct moment (future
versions of autotools, automake, autopoint, autoheader etc... may
require an other ordering, or other intermediate steps, etc...).
Eventually, get rid of buildconf now it is no longer needed. In fact, we
really keep it for legacy, but have it just call autoreconf (and print a
nice user-friendly warning). Don't include it in the release tarballs,
though.
Update doc, gitignore, and travis-CI jobs accordingly.

Session.c: Fix undefined warning when mixing with LTO-enabled libcurl. (#449)
File: Session.c
Notes:
With gcc 9, libssh2, libcurl and LTO enabled for all binaries I see this
warning (error with -Werror):
vssh/libssh2.c: In function ‘ssh_statemach_act’:
/data/mwrep/rgeissler/ospack/ssh2/BUILD/libssh2-libssh2-03c7c4a/src/session.c:579:9: error: ‘seconds_to_next’ is used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=uninitialized]
579 | int seconds_to_next;
| ^
lto1: all warnings being treated as errors
Gcc normally issues -Wuninitialized when it is sure there is a problem,
and -Wmaybe-uninitialized when it's not sure, but it's possible. Here
the compiler seems to have find a real case where this could happen. I
looked in your code and overall it seems you always check if the return
code is non null, not often that it's below zero. I think we should do
the same here. With this patch, gcc is fine.

_libssh2_ed25519_new_private_frommemory is only parsing the openssh key format but does not understand PKIX (as retrieved via PEM_read_bio_PrivateKey)

- session_disconnect: clear state
If authentication is started but not completed before the application
gives up and instead wants to shut down the session, the '->state' field
might still be set and thus effectively dead-lock session_disconnect.
This happens because both _libssh2_transport_send() and
_libssh2_transport_read() refuse to do anything as long as state is set
without the LIBSSH2_STATE_KEX_ACTIVE bit.

This macro was only used in test/example code before, now it is

make file.
It'd be probably better to just rely on the built-in _WIN32 macro
to detect the presence of windows.h though. It's already used
in most of libssh2 library code. There is a 3rd, similar macro
named LIBSSH2_WIN32, which might also be replaced with _WIN32.

kex: acknowledge error code from libssh2_dh_key_pair()
Fixes a segfault using ssh-agent on Windows
This commit fixes a segfault seen dereferencing a null pointer on
Windows when using ssh-agent. The problem ended up being that errors
weren't being communicated all the way through, causing null pointers to
be used when functions should have bailed out sooner.
The `_libssh2_dh_key_pair` function for WinCNG was modified to propagate
errors, and then the two callsites in kex.c of
`diffie_hellman_sha{1,256}` were updated to recognize this error and
bail out.
Fixes #162
Closes #163

Implement Diffie-Hellman computations in crypto backends. (#149)
Not all backends feature the low level API needed to compute a Diffie-Hellman
secret, but some of them directly implement Diffie-Hellman support with opaque
private data. The later approach is now generalized and backends are
responsible for all Diffie Hellman computations.
As a side effect, procedures/macros _libssh2_bn_rand and _libssh2_bn_mod_exp
are no longer needed outside the backends.

- acinclude.m4: The mbedtls crypto backend actually requires libmbedcrypto
Examples can't be linked with libmbedtls but need libmbedcrypto, and

This changes the mbedtls detection to search for libmbedcrypto, which
is the actual dependency for the backend.

Make libssh2 work again on os400. (#118)
* os400: minimum supported OS version is now V6R1.
Do not log compiler informational messages.
* Implement crypto backend specific Diffie-Hellman computation.
This feature is now needed on os400 because the QC3 library does not
implement bn_mod_exp() natively. Up to now, this function was emulated using
an RSA encryption, but commits ca5222ea819cc5ed797860070b4c6c1aeeb28420 and
7934c9ce2a029c43e3642a492d3b9e494d1542be (CVE-2016-0787) broke the emulation
because QC3 only supports RSA exponents up to 512 bits.
Happily, QC3 supports a native API for Diffie-Hellman computation, with
opaque random value: this commit implements the use of this API and, as a
side effect, enables support of this feature for any other crypto backend that
would use it.
A "generic" Diffie-Hellman computation internal API supports crypto backends
not implementing their own: this generic API uses the same functions as before.

configure.ac: Add --with-crypto= instead of many different --with-$backend
The new --with-crypto option replaces the previous backend-specific

* libgcrypt or mbedtls would previously be used whenever found, even
if configure was passed --without-libgcrypt or --without-mbedtls.
* If --with-$backend was specified then configure would not fail even
if that library could not be found, and would instead use whichever
crypto library was found first.
The new option defaults to `auto`, which makes configure check for all
supported crypto libraries in turn, choosing the first one found, or
exiting with an error if none can be found.

Basic dockerised test suite.
This introduces a test suite for libssh2. It runs OpenSSH in a Docker
container because that works well on Windows (via docker-machine) as
well as Linux. Presumably it works on Mac too with docker-machine, but
I've not tested that.
Because the test suite is docker-machine aware, you can also run it
against a cloud provider, for more realistic network testing, by setting
your cloud provider as your active docker machine. The Appveyor CI setup
in this commit does that because Appveyor doesn't support docker
locally.

VMS can't use %zd for off_t format.
%z is a C99-ism that VMS doesn't currently have; even though the

detect what we've got and pick a format accordingly.

Salvador Fandiño (21 Jan 2016)
- agent_disconnect_unix: unset the agent fd after closing it
"agent_disconnect_unix", called by "libssh2_agent_disconnect", was
leaving the file descriptor in the agent structure unchanged. Later,
"libssh2_agent_free" would call again "libssh2_agent_disconnect" under
the hood and it would try to close again the same file descriptor. In
most cases that resulted in just a harmless error, but it is also
possible that the file descriptor had been reused between the two
calls resulting in the closing of an unrelated file descriptor.
This patch sets agent->fd to LIBSSH2_INVALID_SOCKET avoiding that
issue.

Feature an optional crypto-specific macro to rsa sign a data fragment vector
OS/400 crypto library is unable to sign a precomputed SHA1 hash: however
it does support a procedure that hashes data fragments and rsa signs.
If defined, the new macro _libssh2_rsa_sha1_signv() implements this function
and disables use of _libssh2_rsa_sha1_sign().
The function described above requires that the struct iovec unused slacks are
cleared: for this reason, macro libssh2_prepare_iovec() has been introduced.
It should be defined as empty for crypto backends that are not sensitive
to struct iovec unused slack values.

libssh2_session_set_last_error: Add function
Net::SSH2, the Perl wrapping module for libssh2 implements several features*
on top of libssh2 that can fail and so need some mechanism to report the error
condition to the user.
Until now, besides the error state maintained internally by libssh2, another
error state was maintained at the Perl level for every session object and then
additional logic was used to merge both error states. That is a maintenance
nighmare, and actually there is no way to do it correctly and consistently.
In order to allow the high level language to add new features to the library
but still rely in its error reporting features the new function
libssh2_session_set_last_error (that just exposses _libssh2_error_flags) is
introduced.
*) For instance, connecting to a remote SSH service giving the hostname and

SFTP: Increase speed and datasize in SFTP read
The function sftp_read never return more then 2000 bytes (as it should

didn't get the same speed as a sftp read in SecureSSH. I analyzed the
code and found that a return always was dona when a chunk has been read.
I changed it to a sliding buffer and worked on all available chunks. I
got an increase in speed and non of the test I have done has failed
(both local net and over Internet). Please review and test. I think
30000 is still not the optimal MAX_SFTP_READ_SIZE, my next goal is to

- openssl.c: fix possible segfault in case EVP_DigestInit fails
- wincng.c: fix possible use of uninitialized variables
- wincng.c: fix unused argument warning if clear memory is not enabled
- wincng: Added explicit clear memory feature to WinCNG backend
This re-introduces the original feature proposed during
the development of the WinCNG crypto backend. It still needs
to be added to libssh2 itself and probably other backends.
Memory is cleared using the function SecureZeroMemory which is
available on Windows systems, just like the WinCNG backend.
- wincng.c: fixed mixed line-endings
- wincng.c: fixed use of invalid parameter types in a8d14c5dcf

- wincng.h: fixed invalid parameter name
- wincng: fixed mismatch with declarations in crypto.h
- userauth.c: fixed warning C6001: using uninitialized sig and sig_len

Initialise HMAC_CTX in more places.
Missed a couple more places we init ctx to avoid openssl threading crash.
- Build build breakage in WinCNG backend caused when adding libssh2_userauth_publickey_frommemory.
The new feature isn't implemented for the WinCNG backend currently, but the WinCNG backend didn't contain any implementation of the required backend functions - even ones that returns an error. That caused link errors.
This change fixes the problem by providing an implementation of the backend functions that returns an error.
- Fix breakage in WinCNG backend caused by introducing libssh2_hmac_ctx_init.
The macro was defined to nothing for the libgcrypt backend, but not for WinCNG. This brings the latter into line with the former.

- Prevent collisions between CMake and Autotools in examples/ and tests/.
- Avoid clash between CMake build and Autotools.
Autotools expects a configuration template file at src/libssh2_config.h.in, which buildconf generates. But the CMake build system has its CMake-specific version of the file at this path. This means that, if you don't run buildconf, the Autotools build will fail because it configured the wrong header template.

windows build: do not export externals from static library
If you are building a DLL, then you need to explicitly export each
entry point. When building a static library, you should not.
libssh2 was exporting the entry points whether it was building a DLL or a
static library. To elaborate further, if libssh2 was used as a static
library, which was being linked into a DLL, the libssh2 API would be
exported from that separate DLL.

- Fix non-autotools builds: Always define the LIBSSH2_OPENSSL CPP macro
Commit d512b25f69a1b6778881f6b4b5ff9cfc6023be42 introduced a crypto
library abstraction in the autotools build system, to allow us to more
easily support new crypto libraries. In that process it was found that
all other build system which we support are hard-coded to build with
OpenSSL. Commit f5c1a0d98bd51aeb24aca3d49c7c81dcf8bd858d fixes automake
introduced into non-autotools build systems but still overlooked the
CPP macro saying that we are using OpenSSL.
Thanks to Marc Hörsken for identifying this issue and proposing a fix
for win32/{GNUmakefile,config.mk}. This commit uses a slightly different
approach but the end result is the same.

- knownhost: Restore behaviour of `libssh2_knownhost_writeline` with short buffer.
Commit 85c6627c changed the behaviour of `libssh2_knownhost_writeline` so that it stopped returning the number of bytes needed when the given buffer was too small. Also, the function changed such that is might write to part of the buffer before realising it is too small.
This commit restores the original behaviour, whilst keeping the unknown-key-type functionality that 85c6627c. Instead of writing to the buffer piecemeal, the length of the various parts is calculated up front and the buffer written only if there is enough space. The calculated necessary size is output in `outlen` regardless of whether the buffer was written to.
The main use-case for the original behaviour that this commit restores is to allow passing in a NULL buffer to get the actual buffer size needed, before calling the function again with the buffer allocated to the exact size required.

The first might occur if _libssh2_packet_add returns an error, as
fullpacket_state wasn't reset to idle so if it were possible for
fullpacket to be called again, it would return to the same state
handler and re-use the freed p->packet buffer.
The second could occur if decrypt returned an error, as it freed the
packet buffer but did not clear total_num, meaning that freed buffer
could be written into again later.

- Fix missing `_libssh2_error` in `_libssh2_channel_write`.
In one case, the error code from `_libssh2_transport_read` was being returned from `_libssh2_channel_write` without setting it as the last error by calling `_libssh2_error`. This commit fixes that.
Found when using a session whose socket had been inadvertently destroyed. The calling code got confused because via `libssh2_session_last_error` it appeared no error had occurred, despite one being returned from the previous function.

openssl: initialise the digest context before calling EVP_DigestInit()
When using the OpenSSL libraries in FIPS mode, the function call
EVP_DigestInit() is actually #defined to FIPS_digestinit().

calls EVP_DigestInit_ex(), this function assumes that the context has

- Move automake conditionals added by commit d512b25f out of Makefile.inc
Commit d512b25f69a1b6778881f6b4b5ff9cfc6023be42 added automake
conditionals to Makefile.inc but since Makefile.inc is included
from Makefile for all other build systems that does not work.
This commit instead adds Makefile.OpenSSL.inc and Makefile.libgcrypt.inc
and moves the automake conditional to its proper place, src/Makefile.am.
The automake conditional includes the correct Makefile.$name.inc per
the crypto library selection/detection done by configure.
All non-autotools build system files in libssh2 are hardcoded to use
OpenSSL and do not get a conditional but at least there is some reuse
because they can all include the new Makefile.OpenSSL.inc.

Set default window size to 2MB
The default channel window size used until now was 256KB. This value is
too small and results on a bottleneck on real-life networks where
round-trip delays can easily reach 300ms.
The issue was not visible because the configured channel window size
was being ignored and a hard-coded value of ~22MB being used instead,
but that was fixed on a previous commit.
This patch just changes the default window size
(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL_WINDOW_DEFAULT) to 2MB. It is the same value used by
OpenSSH and in our opinion represents a good compromise between memory
used and transfer speed.
Performance tests were run to determine the optimum value. The details
and related discussion are available from the following thread on the
libssh2 mailing-list:
http://www.libssh2.org/mail/libssh2-devel-archive-2013-10/0018.shtml
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.ssh.libssh2.devel/6543
An excerpt follows:
"I have been running some transfer test and measuring their speed.
My setup was composed of a quad-core Linux machine running Ubuntu 13.10
x86_64 with a LXC container inside. The data transfers were performed
from the container to the host (never crossing through a physical
network device).
Network delays were simulated using the tc tool. And ping was used to
verify that they worked as intended during the tests.
The operation performed was the equivalent to the following ssh command:
$ ssh container "dd bs=16K count=8K if=/dev/zero" >/dev/null
Though, establishment and closing of the SSH connection was excluded
from the timings.
I run the tests several times transferring files of sizes up to 128MB
and the results were consistent between runs.
The results corresponding to the 128MB transfer are available here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ao1yRmX6PQQzdG5wSFlrZl9HRWNET3ZyN0hnaGo5ZFE&usp=sharing
It clearly shows that 256KB is too small as the default window size.
Moving to a 512MB generates a great improvement and after the 1MB mark
the returns rapidly diminish. Other factors (TCP window size, probably)
become more limiting than the channel window size
For comparison I also performed the same transfers using OpenSSH. Its
speed is usually on par with that of libssh2 using a window size of 1MB
(even if it uses a 2MB window, maybe it is less aggressive sending the
window adjust msgs)."

_libssh2_channel_read: Honour window_size_initial
_libssh2_channel_read was using an arbitrary hard-coded limit to trigger
the window adjusting code. The adjustment used was also hard-coded and
arbitrary, 15MB actually, which would limit the usability of libssh2 on
systems with little RAM.
This patch, uses the window_size parameter passed to
libssh2_channel_open_ex (stored as remote.window_size_initial) plus the
buflen as the base for the trigger and the adjustment calculation.
The memory usage when using the default window size is reduced from 22MB
to 256KB per channel (actually, if compression is used, these numbers
should be incremented by ~50% to account for the errors between the
decompressed packet sizes and the predicted sizes).
My tests indicate that this change does not impact the performance of
transfers across localhost or a LAN, being it on par with that of
OpenSSH. On the other hand, it will probably slow down transfers on
networks with high bandwidth*delay when the default window size
(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL_WINDOW_DEFAULT=256KB) is used.

knownhosts: handle unknown key types
Store but don't use keys of unsupported types on the known_hosts file.
Currently, when libssh2 parses a known_host file containing keys of some
type it doesn't natively support, it stops reading the file and returns
an error.
That means, that the known_host file can not be safely shared with other
software supporting other key types (i.e. OpenSSH).
This patch adds support for handling keys of unknown type. It can read
and write them, even if they are never going to be matched.
At the source level the patch does the following things:
- add a new unknown key type LIBSSH2_KNOWNHOST_KEY_UNKNOWN
- add a new slot (key_type_name) on the known_host struct that is
used to store the key type in ascii form when it is not supported
- parse correctly known_hosts entries with unknown key types and
populate the key_type_name slot
- print correctly known_hosts entries of unknown type
- when checking a host key ignore keys that do not match the key

Fix zlib deflate usage
Deflate may return Z_OK even when not all data has been compressed
if the output buffer becomes full.
In practice this is very unlikely to happen because the output buffer
size is always some KBs larger than the size of the data passed for
compression from the upper layers and I think that zlib never expands
the data so much, even on the worst cases.
Anyway, this patch plays on the safe side checking that the output
buffer is not exhausted.

comp_method_zlib_decomp: Improve buffer growing algorithm
The old algorithm was O(N^2), causing lots and lots of reallocations
when highly compressed data was transferred.
This patch implements a simpler one that just doubles the buffer size
everytime it is exhausted. It results in O(N) complexity.
Also a smaller inflate ratio is used to calculate the initial size (x4).

Fix zlib usage
Data may remain in zlib internal buffers when inflate() returns Z_OK
and avail_out == 0. In that case, inflate has to be called again.
Also, once all the data has been inflated, it returns Z_BUF_ERROR to
signal that the input buffer has been exhausted.
Until now, the way to detect that a packet payload had been completely
decompressed was to check that no data remained on the input buffer
but that didn't account for the case where data remained on the internal
zlib buffers.
That resulted in packets not being completely decompressed and the
missing data reappearing on the next packet, though the bug was masked
by the buffer allocation algorithm most of the time and only manifested
when transferring highly compressible data.
This patch fixes the zlib usage.

_libssh2_channel_read: fix data drop when out of window
After filling the read buffer with data from the read queue, when the
window size was too small, "libssh2_channel_receive_window_adjust" was
called to increase it. In non-blocking mode that function could return
EAGAIN and, in that case, the EAGAIN was propagated upwards and the data
already read on the buffer lost.
The function was also moving between the two read states
"libssh2_NB_state_idle" and "libssh2_NB_state_created" both of which
behave in the same way (excepting a debug statment).
This commit modifies "_libssh2_channel_read" so that the
"libssh2_channel_receive_window_adjust" call is performed first (when
required) and if everything goes well, then it reads the data from the
queued packets into the read buffer.
It also removes the useless "libssh2_NB_state_created" read state.
Some rotted comments have also been updated.

window_size: redid window handling for flow control reasons
Until now, the window size (channel->remote.window_size) was being
updated just after receiving the packet from the transport layer.
That behaviour is wrong because the channel queue may grow uncontrolled
when data arrives from the network faster that the upper layer consumes
it.
This patch adds a new counter, read_avail, which keeps a count of the
bytes available from the packet queue for reading. Also, now the window
size is adjusted when the data is actually read by an upper layer.
That way, if the upper layer stops reading data, the window will
eventually fill and the remote host will stop sending data. When the
upper layers reads enough data, a window adjust packet is delivered and
the transfer resumes.
The read_avail counter is used to detect the situation when the remote
server tries to send data surpassing the window size. In that case, the
extra data is discarded.

This partially reverts commit 03ca9020756a4e16f0294e5b35e9826ee6af2364
in order to fix extreme slowdown when uploading to localhost via SFTP.
I was able to repeat the issue on RHEL-7 on localhost only. It did not
occur when uploading via network and it did not occur on a RHEL-6 box

The problem was that sftp_read() used a read-ahead logic to figure out
the window_size, but sftp_packet_read() called indirectly from
sftp_write() did not use any read-ahead logic.

- comp_method_zlib_decomp: handle Z_BUF_ERROR when inflating
When using libssh2 to perform an SFTP file transfer from the "JSCAPE MFT
Server" (http://www.jscape.com) the transfer failed. The default JSCAPE
configuration is to enforce zlib compression on SSH2 sessions so the
session was compressed. The relevant part of the debug trace contained:
[libssh2] 1.052750 Transport: unhandled zlib error -5
[libssh2] 1.052750 Failure Event: -29 - decompression failure
The trace comes from comp_method_zlib_decomp() in comp.c. The "unhandled
zlib error -5" is the status returned from the zlib function
inflate(). The -5 status corresponds to "Z_BUF_ERROR".
The inflate() function takes a pointer to a z_stream structure and
"inflates" (decompresses) as much as it can. The relevant fields of the
z_stream structure are:
next_in - pointer to the input buffer containing compressed data
avail_in - the number of bytes available at next_in
next_out - pointer to the output buffer to be filled with uncompressed
data
avail_out - how much space available at next_out
To decompress data you set up a z_stream struct with the relevant fields
filled in and pass it to inflate(). On return the fields will have been
updated so next_in and avail_in show how much compressed data is yet to
be processed and next_out and avail_out show how much space is left in
the output buffer.
If the supplied output buffer is too small then on return there will be
compressed data yet to be processed (avail_in != 0) and inflate() will
return Z_OK. In this case the output buffer must be grown, avail_out
updated and inflate() called again.
If the supplied output buffer was big enough then on return the
compressed data will have been exhausted (avail_in == 0) and inflate()
will return Z_OK, so the data has all been uncompressed.
There is a corner case where inflate() makes no progress. That is, there
may be unprocessed compressed data and space available in the output
buffer and yet the function does nothing. In this case inflate() will
return Z_BUF_ERROR. From the zlib documentation and the source code it
is not clear under what circumstances this happens. It could be that it
needs to write multiple bytes (all in one go) from its internal state to
the output buffer before processing the next chunk of input but but
can't because there is not enough space (though my guesses as to the
cause are not really relevant). Recovery from Z_BUF_ERROR is pretty
simple - just grow the output buffer, update avail_out and call
inflate() again.
The comp_method_zlib_decomp() function does not handle the case when
inflate() returns Z_BUF_ERROR. It treats it as a non-recoverable error
and basically aborts the session.

- Prevent sftp_packet_read accessing freed memory.
sftp_packet_add takes ownership of the packet passed to it and (now that we
handle zombies) might free the packet. sftp_packet_read uses the packet type
byte as its return code but by this point sftp_packet_add might have freed
it. This change fixes the problem by caching the packet type before calling
sftp_packet_add.
I don't understand why sftp_packet_read uses the packet type as its return
code. A future change might get rid of this entirely.
Daniel Stenberg (12 May 2012)
- sftp_packet_flush: flush zombies too
As this function is called when the SFTP session is closed, it needs to
also kill all zombies left in the SFTP session to avoid leaking memory
just in case some zombie would still be in there.
- sftp_packetlist_flush: zombies must not have responses already
When flushing the packetlist, we must only add the request as a zombie
if no response has already been received. Otherwise we could wrongly
make it a zombie even though the response was already received and then
we'd get a zombie stuck there "forever"...
- sftp_read: on EOF remove packet before flush
Since the sftp_packetlist_flush() function will move all the existing
FXP_READ requests in this handle to the zombie list we must first remove
this just received packet as it is clearly not a zombie.
- sftp_packet_require: sftp_packet_read() returning 0 is not an error
Exactly as the comment in the code said, checking the return code from
sftp_packet_read() with <= was wrong and it should be < 0. With the new
filtering on incoming packets that are "zombies" we can now see this
getting zero returned.
- sftp_packetlist_flush: only make it zombie if it was sent
The list of outgoing packets may also contain packets that never were
sent off and we better not make them zombies too.
- [Alexander Lamaison brought this change]
Mark outstanding read requests after EOF as zombies.
In order to be fast, sftp_read sends many read requests at once. With a small
file, this can mean that when EOF is received back, many of these requests are
still outstanding. Responses arriving after we close the file and abandon the
file handle are queued in the SFTP packet queue and never collected. This
causes transfer speed to drop as a progressively longer queue must be searched
for every packet.
This change introduces a zombie request-ID list in the SFTP session that is
used to recognise these outstanding requests and prevent them being added to
the queue.

When calling _libssh2_channel_receive_window_adjust() internally, we now

It isn't fully analyzed but we have seen corner cases which made a
necessary window update not get send due to this and then the other side
doesn't send data our side then sits waiting for forever.
- channel_read: force window adjusts!
if there's not enough room to receive the data that's being requested,
the window adjustment needs to be sent to the remote and thus the force
option has to be used. _libssh2_channel_receive_window_adjust() would
otherwise "queue" small window adjustments for a later packet but that
is really terribly for the small buffer read that for example is the
final little piece of a very large file as then there is no logical next
packet!

transport_send: Finish in-progress key exchange before sending data
_libssh2_channel_write() first reads outstanding packets before writing
new data. If it reads a key exchange request, it will immediately start
key re-exchange, which will require sending a response. If the output
socket is full, this will result in a return from
_libssh2_transport_read() of LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN. In order not to block
a write because there is no data to read, this error is explicitly
ignored and the code continues marshalling a packet for sending. When it
is sent, the remote end immediately drops the connection because it was
expecting a continuation of the key exchange, but got a data packet.
This change adds the same check for key exchange to
_libssh2_transport_send() that is in _libssh2_transport_read(). This
ensures that key exchange is completed before any data packet is sent.
- channel_write: acknowledge transport errors
When draining data off the socket with _libssh2_transport_read() (which
in turn has to be done so that we can be sure to have read any possible
window-increasing packets), this code previously ignored errors which
could lead to nasty loops. Now all error codes except EAGAIN will cause
the error to be returned at once.

Although the function checks the length, if the code was in error, there

- Define and use LIBSSH2_INVALID_SOCKET instead of INVALID_SOCKET
INVALID_SOCKET is a special value in Windows representing a
non-valid socket identifier. We were #defining this to -1 on
non-Windows platforms, causing unneccessary namespace pollution.
Let's have our own identifier instead.
Thanks to Matt Lawson for pointing this out.

- sftp_write: cannot return acked data *and* EAGAIN

Simplified sftp_read.
Removed the total_read variable that originally must have tracked how
much data had been written to the buffer. With non-blocking reads, we
must return straight away once we have read data into the buffer so this
variable served not purpose.
I think it was still hanging around in case the initial processing of
'leftover' data meant we wrote to the buffer but this case, like the
others, must return immediately. Now that it does, the last remaining
need for the variable is gone.
- [Alexander Lamaison brought this change]
Cleaned up sftp_read and added more explanation.
Replaced the gotos which were implementing the state machine with
a switch statement which makes the states more explicit.

knownhost_check(): Don't dereference ext if NULL is passed
Documentation for libssh2_knownhost_checkp() and related functions
states that the last argument is filled with data if non-NULL.
"knownhost if set to non-NULL, it must be a pointer to a 'struct
libssh2_knownhost' pointer that gets filled in to point to info about a
known host that matches or partially matches."

libssh2_sftp_seek64: flush packetlist and buffered data
When seeking to a new position, flush the packetlist and buffered data
to prevent already received or pending data to wrongly get used when
sftp-reading from the new offset within the file.
- sftp_read: advance offset correctly for buffered copies
In the case where a read packet has been received from the server, but
the entire contents couldn't be copied to the user-buffer, the data is
instead buffered and copied to the user's buffer in the next invocation
of sftp_read(). When that "extra" copy is made, the 'offset' pointer was
not advanced accordingly.
The biggest impact of this flaw was that the 'already' variable at the
top of the function that figures out how much data "ahead" that has
already been asked for would slowly go more and more out of sync, which
could lead to the file not being read all the way to the end.
This problem was most noticable in cases where the application would
only try to read the exact file size amount, like curl does. In the
examples libssh2 provides the sftp read function is most often called
with a fixed size large buffer and then the bug would not appear as
easily.
This bug was introduced in the SFTP rewrite in 1.2.8.

WARNING: this does leave the feature NOT WORKING when libssh2 is built
to use libgcrypt instead of OpenSSL simply due to lack of
implementation.
- ssh2_echo: Value stored to 'exitcode' is never read
- _libssh2_packet_add: fix SSH_MSG_DEBUG weirdness
I believe I may have caused this weird typo style error when I cleaned
up this function a while ago. Corrected now.
- uint32: more longs converted to proper types
I also moved the MAC struct over to the mac.h header file and made sure
that the users of that struct include that file.
- SFTP: more types to uint32_t
The 'num_names' field in the SSH_FXP_NAME response is an unsigned 32bit
value so we make sure to treat it like that.
- SFTP: request_ids are uint32_t
I went over the code and made sure we use uint32_t all over for the
request_id data. It is an unsigned 32bit value on the wire.
- SFTP: store request_id separately in packets
By using a new separate struct for incoming SFTP packets and not sharing
the generic packet struct, we can get rid of an unused field and add a
new one dedicated for holding the request_id for the incoming
package. As sftp_packet_ask() is called fairly often, a "mere" integer
comparison is MUCH faster than the previous memcmp() of (typically) 5
bytes.
- libssh2_sftp_open_ex: man page extended and cleaned up
I added the missing documentation for the 'flags' argument.
- SFTP: unify the READ/WRITE chunk structs
- SFTP: fix memory leaks
Make sure that we cleanup remainders when the handle is closed and when
the subsystem is shutdown.
Existing flaw: if a single handle sends packets that haven't been
replied to yet at the time when the handle is closed, those packets will
arrive later and end up in the generic packet brigade queue and they
will remain in there until flushed. They will use unnecessary memory,
make things slower and they will ruin the SFTP handling if the
request_id counter ever wraps (highly unlikely to every happen).
- sftp_close_handle: packet list is generic
Fix comment, simplify the loop logic
- sftp_read: pipeline reads
The SFTP read function now does transfers the same way the SFTP write
function was made to recently: it creates a list of many outgoing
FXP_READ packets that each asks for a small data chunk. The code then
tries to keep sending read request while collecting the acks for the
previous requests and returns the received data.
- sftp_write: removed unused variable
- _libssh2_channel_close: don't call transport read if disconnected
The loop that waits for remote.close to get set may end up looping
forever since session->socket_state gets set to
LIBSSH2_SOCKET_DISCONNECTED by the packet_add() function called from the
transport_read() function and after having been set to
LIBSSH2_SOCKET_DISCONNECTED, the transport_read() function will only
return 0.
Bug: http://trac.libssh2.org/ticket/198
- libssh2_sftp_seek64: new man page
Split off libssh2_sftp_seek64 from the libssh2_sftp_seek man page, and
mentioned that we consider the latter deprecated. Also added a mention
about the dangers of doing seek during writing or reading.
- sftp_seek: fix
The new SFTP write code caused a regression as the seek function no
longer worked as it didn't set the write position properly.
It should be noted that seeking is STRONGLY PROHIBITED during upload, as
the upload magic uses two different offset positions and the multiple
outstanding packets etc make them sensitive to change in the midst of
operations.
This functionality was just verified with the new example code
sftp_append. This bug was filed as bug #202:
Bug: http://trac.libssh2.org/ticket/202
- sftp_append: new example doing SFTP append
- MAX_SFTP_OUTGOING_SIZE: 30000
I ran SFTP upload tests against localhost. It showed that to make the
app reach really good speeds, I needed to do a little code tweak and
change MAX_SFTP_OUTGOING_SIZE from 4000 to 30000. The tests I did before
with the high latency tests didn't show any real difference whatever I
had that size set to.
This number is the size in bytes that libssh2 cuts off the large input
buffer and sends off as an individual sftp packet.
- sftp_write_sliding.c: new example
This is an example that is very similar to sftp_write_nonblock.c, with
the exception that this uses
1 - a larger upload buffer
2 - a sliding buffer mechnism to allow the app to keep sending lots of
data to libssh2 without having to first drain the buffer.
These are two key issues to make libssh2 SFTP uploads really perform
well at this point in time.
- cpp: s/#elsif/#elif
This looks like a typo as #elsif is not really C...
- _libssh2_channel_write: revert channel_write() use
The attempts made to have _libssh2_channel_write() accept larger pieces
of data and split up the data by itself into 32700 byte chunks and pass
them on to channel_write() in a loop as a way to do faster operations on
larger data blocks was a failed attempt.
The reason why it is difficult:
The API only allows EAGAIN or a length to be returned. When looping over
multiple blocks to get sent, one block can get sent and the next might
not. And yet: when transport_send() has returned EAGAIN we must not call
it again with new data until it has returned OK on the existing data it
is still working on. This makes it a mess and we do get a much easier
job by simply returning the bytes or EAGAIN at once, as in the EAGAIN
case we can assume that we will be called with the same arguments again
and transport_send() will be happy.
Unfortunately, I think we take a small performance hit by not being able
to do this.
- ssh2_echo: new example
This is a new example snippet. The code is largely based on ssh2_exec,
and is written by Tommy Lindgren. I edited it into C90 compliance and to
conform to libssh2 indent style and some more.
- send_existing: return after send_existing
When a piece of data is sent from the send_existing() function we must
make the parent function return afterwards. Otherwise we risk that the
parent function tries to send more data and ends up getting an EGAIN for
that more data and since it can only return one return code it doesn't
return info for the successfully sent data.
As this change is a regression I now added a larger comment explaining
why it has to work like this.
- _libssh2_channel_write: count resent data as written
In the logic that resends data that was kept for that purpose due to a
previous EAGAIN, the data was not counted as sent causing badness.
Peter Stuge (13 Nov 2010)
- Use fprintf(stderr, ) instead of write(2, ) for debugging
- session/transport: Correctly handle when _libssh2_send() returns -EAGAIN
- src/agent.c: Simplify _libssh2_send() error checking ever so slightly
Daniel Stenberg (12 Nov 2010)
- send/recv: use _libssh2_recv and _libssh2_send now
Starting now, we unconditionally use the internal replacement functions
for send() and recv() - creatively named _libssh2_recv() and
_libssh2_send().
On errors, these functions return the negative 'errno' value instead of
the traditional -1. This design allows systems that have no "natural"
errno support to not have to invent it. It also means that no code
outside of these two transfer functions should use the errno variable.
- channel_write: move some logic to _libssh2_channel_write
Some checks are better done in _libssh2_channel_write just once per
write instead of in channel_write() since the looping will call the
latter function multiple times per _libssh2_channel_write() invoke.
- sftp_write: handle "left over" acked data
The SFTP handle struct now buffers number of acked bytes that haven't
yet been returned. The way this is used is as following:
1. sftp_write() gets called with a buffer of let say size 32000. We
split 32000 into 8 smaller packets and send them off one by one. One of
them gets acked before the function returns so 4000 is returned.
2. sftp_write() gets called again a short while after the previous one,
now with a much smaller size passed in to the function. Lets say 8000.
In the mean-time, all of the remaining packets from the previous call
have been acked (7*4000 = 28000). This function then returns 8000 as all
data passed in are already sent and it can't return any more than what
it got passed in. But we have 28000 bytes acked. We now store the
remaining 20000 in the handle->u.file.acked struct field to add up in
the next call.
3. sftp_write() gets called again, and now there's a backlogged 20000
bytes to return as fine and that will get skipped from the beginning
of the buffer that is passed in.
- sftp_write: polished and simplified
Removed unnecessary struct fields and state changes within the function.
Made the loop that checks for ACKs only check chunks that were fully
sent.
- SCP: on failure, show the numerical error reason
By calling libssh2_session_last_errno()
- SFTP: provide the numerical error reason on failure
- SCP: clean up failure treatment
When SCP send or recv fails, it gets a special message from the server
with a warning or error message included. We have no current API to
expose that message but the foundation is there. Removed unnecessary use
of session struct fields.
- sftp_write: enlarge buffer to perform better
- packets: code cleanup
I added size checks in several places. I fixed the code flow to be easier
to read in some places.
I removed unnecessary zeroing of structs. I removed unused struct fields.
- LIBSSH2_CALLBACK_MACERROR: clarify return code use
- _libssh2_userauth_publickey: avoid shadowing
- packet: avoid shadowing global symbols
- sftp_readdir: avoid shadowing
- shadowing: don't shadow the global compress
- _libssh2_packet_add: turn ifs into a single switch
- _libssh2_packet_add: check SSH_MSG_GLOBAL_REQUEST packet
- _libssh2_packet_add: SSH_MSG_DEBUG length checks
Verify lengths before using them. Read always_display from the correct
index. Don't copy stuff around just to provide zero-termination of the
strings.
- _libssh2_packet_add: SSH_MSG_IGNORE skip memmove
There's no promise of a zero termination of the data in the callback so
no longer perform ugly operation in order to provide it.
- _libssh2_packet_add: SSH_MSG_DISCONNECT length checks
Verify lengths before trying to read data.
- indent: break lines at 80 columns
- SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_OPEN_FAILURE: used defined values
We don't like magic numbers in the code. Now the acceptable failure
codes sent in the SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_OPEN_FAILURE message are added as
defined values in the private header file.
- sftp_write: don't return EAGAIN if no EAGAIN was received
This function now only returns EAGAIN if a lower layer actually returned
EAGAIN to it. If nothing was acked and no EAGAIN was received, it will
now instead return 0.
- _libssh2_wait_socket: detect nothing-to-wait-for
If _libssh2_wait_socket() gets called but there's no direction set to
wait for, this causes a "hang". This code now detects this situation,
set a 1 second timeout instead and outputs a debug output about it.
- decomp: remove the free_dest argument
Since the decompress function ALWAYS returns allocated memory we get a
lot simpler code by removing the ability to return data unallocated.
- decomp: cleaned off old compression stuff
I cleared off legacy code from when the compression and decompression
functions were a single unified function. Makes the code easier to read
too.

zlib: Add debug tracing of zlib errors
- sftp_packet_read: handle partial reads of the length field

previously handle that the initial 32 bit field was read only partially
when it was read.
- [Jasmeet Bagga brought this change]
kex_agree_hostkey: fix NULL pointer derefence
While setting up the session, ssh tries to determine the type of
encryption method it can use for the session. This requires looking at
the keys offered by the remote host and comparing these with the methods
supported by libssh2 (rsa & dss). To do this there is an iteration over
the array containing the methods supported by libssh2.
If there is no agreement on the type of encryption we come to the 3rd
entry of the hostkeyp array. Here hostkeyp is valid but *hostkep is
NULL. Thus when we dereference that in (*hostkeyp)->name there is a
crash
- _libssh2_transport_send: remove dead assignment
'data' isn't accessed beyond this point so there's no need to assign it.
- scp_recv: remove dead assignment
Instead of assigning a variable we won't read, we now use the more
explicit (void) prefix.
- sftp_write: removed superfluous assignment
- bugfix: avoid use of uninitialized value
- sftp_packet_require: propagate error codes better
There were some chances that they would cause -1 to get returned by
public functions and as we're hunting down all such occurances and since
the underlying functions do return valuable information the code now
passes back proper return codes better.
- [Alfred Gebert brought this change]
fix memory leaks (two times cipher_data) for each sftp session
- libssh2_userauth_authenticated: make it work as documented
The man page clearly says it returns 1 for "already authenticated" but
the code said non-zero. I changed the code to use 1 now, as that is also
non-zero but it gets the benefit that it now matches the documentation.
Using 1 instead of non-zero is better for two reasons:
1. We have the opportunity to introduce other return codes in the future for
things like error and what not.
2. We don't expose the internal bitmask variable value.
- userauth_keyboard_interactive: fix indent
- [Alfred Gebert brought this change]
fix memory leak in userauth_keyboard_interactive()
First I wanted to free the memory in session_free() but then
I had still memory leaks because in my test case the function
userauth_keyboard_interactive() is called twice. It is called
twice perhaps because the server has this authentication
methods available: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,keyboard-interactive
The keyboard-interactive method is successful.

- libssh2_sftp_write.3: added blurb about the "write ahead"
Documented the new SFTP write concept
- sftp_close_handle: free any trailing write chunks
- _libssh2_channel_write: fix warnings
- SFTP: bufgix, move more sftp stuff to sftp.h
The sftp_write function shouldn't assume that the buffer pointer will be
the same in subsequent calls, even if it assumes that the data already
passed in before haven't changed.
The sftp structs are now moved to sftp.h (which I forgot to add before)
- SFTP: use multiple outgoing packets when writing
sftp_write was rewritten to split up outgoing data into multiple packets
and deal with the acks in a more asynchronous manner. This is meant to
help overcome latency and round-trip problems with the SFTP protocol.
- TODO: implemented a lot of the ideas now
- _libssh2_channel_write: removed 32500 size limit
Neither _libssh2_channel_write nor sftp_write now have the 32500 size
limit anymore and instead the channel writing function now has its own
logic to send data in multiple calls until everything is sent.
- send_existing: don't tell parent to return when drained
That will just cause unnecessary code execution.
- _libssh2_channel_write: general code cleanup
simplified the function and removed some unused struct fields
- _libssh2_transport_send: replaces _libssh2_transport_write
The new function takes two data areas, combines them and sends them as a
single SSH packet. This allows several functions to allocate and copy
less data.
I also found and fixed a mixed up use of the compression function
arguments that I introduced in my rewrite in a recent commit.
- scp_write_nonblock: use select() instead of busyloop
Make this example nicer by not busylooping.
- send_existing: clear olen when the data is sent off
- _libssh2_transport_write: allow 256 extra bytes around the packet
- _libssh2_transport_write: remade to send without malloc
- compress: compression disabled by default
We now allow libssh2_session_flag() to enable compression with a new
flag and I added documentation for the previous LIBSSH2_FLAG_SIGPIPE
flag which I wasn't really aware of!
- comp: split the compress function
It is now made into two separate compress and decompress functions. In
preparation for upcoming further modficications.

Daniel Stenberg (11 Oct 2010)
- scp_recv: improved treatment of channel_read() returning zero
As a zero return code from channel_read() is not an error we must make
sure that the SCP functions deal with that properly. channel_read()
always returns 0 if the channel is EOFed already so we check for EOF
after 0-reads to be able to return error properly.
- libssh2_session_methods.3: detail what can be asked for
- compression: send zlib before none
As the list of algorithms in a preferred order we should send zlib
before none to increase the chances that the server will let us do
compression.
- compress: faster check, better return codes
In the transport functions we avoid a strcmp() now and just check a
boolean instead.
The compress/decompress function's return code is now acknowledged and
used as actual return code in case of failures.
- libssh2_session_handshake: replaces libssh2_session_startup()
The function libssh2_session_startup() is now considered deprecated due
to the portability issue with the socket argument.
libssh2_session_handshake() is the name of the replacement.
- libssh2_socket_t: now externally visible
In preparation for upcominig changes, the libssh2_socket_t type is now
typedef'ed in the public header.
- _libssh2_transport_drain: removed
This function proved not to be used nor useful.
- _libssh2_channel_write: don't iterate over transport writes
When a call to _libssh2_transport_write() succeeds, we must return from
_libssh2_channel_write() to allow the caller to provide the next chunk
of data.
We cannot move on to send the next piece of data that may already have
been provided in this same function call, as we risk getting EAGAIN for
that and we can't return information both about sent data as well as
EAGAIN. So, by returning short now, the caller will call this function
again with new data to send.
- _libssh2_transport_write: updated documentation blurb
- _libssh2_transport_write: remove fprintf remainder
Mistake from previous debugging
- session: improved errors
Replaced -1/SOCKET_NONE errors with appropriate error defines instead.
Made the verbose trace output during banner receiving less annoying for
non-blocking sessions.
- crypt_init: use correct error define
- _libssh2_error: hide EAGAIN for non-blocking sessions
In an attempt to make the trace output less cluttered for non-blocking
sessions the error function now avoids calling the debug function if the
error is the EAGAIN and the session is non-blocking.
- agent: use better error defines
- comp_method_zlib_init: use correct error defines
- transport: better error codes
LIBSSH2_SOCKET_NONE (-1) should no longer be used as error code as it is
(too) generic and we should instead use specific and dedicated error
codes to better describe the error.
- channel: return code and _libssh2_error cleanup
Made sure that all transport_write() call failures get _libssh2_error
called.
- _libssh2_channel_write: limit to 32700 bytes
The well known and used ssh server Dropbear has a maximum SSH packet
length at 32768 by default. Since the libssh2 design current have a
fixed one-to-one mapping from channel_write() to the packet size created
by transport_write() the previous limit of 32768 in the channel layer
caused the transport layer to create larger packets than 32768 at times
which Dropbear rejected forcibly (by closing the connection).
The long term fix is of course to remove the hard relation between the
outgoing SSH packet size and what the input length argument is in the
transport_write() function call.
- libssh.h: add more dedicated error codes
- SCP: allow file names with bytes > 126
When parsing the SCP protocol and verifying that the data looks like a
valid file name, byte values over 126 must not be consider illegal since
UTF-8 file names will use such codes.

- example: treat the libssh2_channel_read() return code properly

- libssh2_wait_socket: reset error code to "leak" EAGAIN less
Since libssh2 often sets LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN internally before
_libssh2_wait_socket is called, we can decrease some amount of
confusion in user programs by resetting the error code in this function
to reduce the risk of EAGAIN being stored as error when a blocking
function returns.

The condition around the ssize_t typedef depended on both LIBSSH2_WIN32

without having custom defines.

session_free: free more data to avoid memory leaks
- channel_free: ignore problems with channel_close()
As was pointed out in bug #182, we must not return failure from
_libssh2_channel_free() when _libssh2_channel_close() returns an error
that isn't EAGAIN. It can effectively cause the function to never go
through, like it did now in the case where the socket was actually
closed but socket_state still said LIBSSH2_SOCKET_CONNECTED.
I consider this fix the right thing as it now also survives other
errors, even if making sure socket_state isn't lying is also a good
idea.

handshake: Compression enabled at the wrong time
In KEXINIT messages, the client and server agree on, among other
things, whether to use compression. This method agreement occurs
in src/kex.c's kex_agree_methods() function. However, if
compression is enabled (either client->server, server->client, or
both), then the compression layer is initialized in
kex_agree_methods() -- before NEWKEYS has been received.
Instead, the initialization of the compression layer should
happen after NEWKEYS has been received. This looks to occur
insrc/kex.c's diffie_hellman_sha1(), which even has the comment:
/* The first key exchange has been performed,
switch to active crypt/comp/mac mode */
There, after NEWKEYS is received, the cipher and mac algorithms
are initialized, and that is where the compression should be
initialized as well.
The current implementation fails if server->client compression is
enabled because most server implementations follow OpenSSH's
lead, where compression is initialized after NEWKEYS. Since the
server initializes compression after NEWKEYS, but libssh2
initializes compression after KEXINIT (i.e. before NEWKEYS), they
are out of sync.

userauth_hostbased_fromfile: packet length too short
The packet length calculated in src/userauth.c's

This was detected when the function was given bogus public key
data as an ascii string, which caused the first 32bits to create
a HUGE number.
