[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 0/4] Convert chardevs to QIOChannel & add TLS support

["Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange@redhat.com>]

This is an update of patches previously shown in an RFC posting

  RFC: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-09/msg00829.html
   v1: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-11/msg04222.html

This short series converts the chardev backends to use the new
QIOChannel framework. After doing so it then adds support for
TLS encryption of TCP chardevs. The commit message in the last
patch explains the TLS encryption in detail.

The GIOChannel -> QIOChannel conversion has been validated by
running the qtest framework, which indeed found a few bugs
initially which I have since fixed.

The TLS support has been tested for interoperability using
the gnutls-serv and gnutls-client programs which provide
stub TLS endpoints/clients respectively.

Daniel P. Berrange (4):
  char: remove fixed length filename allocation
  char: convert from GIOChannel to QIOChannel
  char: don't assume telnet initialization will not block
  char: introduce support for TLS encrypted TCP chardev backend
