+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #804145 +++ Description of problem: This bug is fixed upstream: http://www.libssh2.org/mail/libssh2-devel-archive-2012-03/0106.shtml It's a blocker for virt-p2v. virt-p2v sends a large amount of data over ssh using libssh2. When it has sent enough data (about 64G), the peer will request key re-exchange. Because virt-p2v sends data continuously, it will hit this bug with almost 100% reliability, making it impossible to transfer more than 64G of data. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libssh2-1.2.2-7.el6_1.1.x86_64 --- Additional comment from mbooth on 2012-03-16 12:08:23 EDT --- Created attachment 570649 [details] Patch to openssh to aid testing It takes about 45-60 mins of sending data on my system to hit this bug. I'm using a version of openssh with this patch to aid testing. It causes openssh to force a rekey 32x sooner than normal. --- Additional comment from mbooth on 2012-03-16 12:43:26 EDT --- Created attachment 570652 [details] Backport of upstream fix This is a backport of upstream commit cc4f9d5679278ce41cd5480fab3f5e71dba163ed. The backport was uncomplicated: code has shifted a bit, but nothing close to the affected lines has been altered. --- Additional comment from mbooth on 2012-03-16 12:54:28 EDT --- Created attachment 570653 [details] Backport of upstream fix (V2) Spoke too soon! libssh2_kex_exchange was renamed to _libssh2_kex_exchange, so the above doesn't compile. This version is fixed.
