Since the I/O callback registered against virNetSocket will
hold a reference on the virNetClient, we can't rely on the
virNetClientFree to be able to close the network connection.
The last reference will only go away when the event callback
fires (likely due to EOF from the server).
This is sub-optimal and can potentially cause a leak of the
virNetClient object if the server were to not explicitly
close the socket itself
* src/remote/remote_driver.c: Explicitly close the client
object when disconnecting
* src/rpc/virnetclient.c, src/rpc/virnetclient.h: Add a
virNetClientClose method
Set StrictHostKeyChecking=no to auto-accept new ssh host keys if the
no_verify extra parameter was specified. This won't disable host key
checking for already known hosts. Includes a test and documentation.
To facilitate creation of new clients using XDR RPC services,
pull alot of the remote driver code into a set of reusable
objects.
- virNetClient: Encapsulates a socket connection to a
remote RPC server. Handles all the network I/O for
reading/writing RPC messages. Delegates RPC encoding
and decoding to the registered programs
- virNetClientProgram: Handles processing and dispatch
of RPC messages for a single RPC (program,version).
A program can register to receive async events
from a client
- virNetClientStream: Handles generic I/O stream
integration to RPC layer
Each new client program now merely needs to define the list of
RPC procedures & events it wants and their handlers. It does
not need to deal with any of the network I/O functionality at
all.
