[Qemu-block] [PATCH 0/5] Misc fixes and testing of qcow[2] encryption

Subject: [Qemu-block] [PATCH 0/5] Misc fixes and testing of qcow[2] encryption
Date: Tue, 12 May 2015 17:09:17 +0100

I realize that qcow[2] encryption is a feature we have deprecated
and will remove support for running it with the QEMU system
emulators in this cycle. We do still need to make sure it continues
to work for the sake of letting people run qemu-img convert to
retrieve their data though.

Some of the other patches I'm working on which introduce a cypto
cipher API touch this qcow2 code, thus I wanted to be able to test
that it doesn't break anything.

I found that qemu-iotests didn't have any coverage of the qcow2
encryption code. For added fun, I then discovered that qemu-io
doesn't check if an encryption key is required, so ends up
writing plain text to the files instead of cipher, and returning
cipher text for reads, instead of plain text. IOW qemu-io will
corrupt encrypted qcow2 files on write.

This series adds some asserts that will protect against this kind
of mistake, adds support for getting passwords to qemu-io (in the
same manner that qemu-img supports), and finally adds a test case
for reading/writing encrypted qcow2.

Daniel P. Berrange (5):
  qcow2/qcow: protect against uninitialized encryption key
  util: move read_password method out of qemu-img into osdep/oslib
  util: allow \n to terminate password input
  qemu-io: prompt for encryption keys when required
  tests: add test case for encrypted qcow2 read/write
