Is there any reason for nbdkit as a server to additionally limit which resources are served depending on which client connected? But that's probably overkill for now; as it's just as easy to point nbdkit to the smaller file in the first place, and since right now nbdkit serves up at most one file, provided the client can connect in the first place (it would matter more for something like nbd-server, which has an init file that specifies multiple resources served by a single server, and therefore might want per-user restrictions on those resources).> +++ b/src/crypto.c > @@ -37,10 +37,12 @@ > #include <stdlib.h> > #include <stdarg.h> > #include <stdint.h> > +#include <stdbool.h> > #include <inttypes.h> > #include <string.h> > #include <unistd.h> > #include <fcntl.h> > +#include <limits.h> > #include <errno.h> > #include <sys/types.h> > #include <assert.h> > @@ -51,7 +53,12 @@ > > #include <gnutls/gnutls.h> > > +static int crypto_auth = 0;Explicit assignment to 0 is not necessary for static variables (and in general, the assignment moves the variable from .bss into .data for a larger binary, although gcc has options for changing this).> +static int > +start_psk (void) > +{ > + int err; > + CLEANUP_FREE char *abs_psk_file = NULL; > + > + /* Make sure the path to the PSK file is absolute. */ > + abs_psk_file = realpath (tls_psk, NULL); > + if (abs_psk_file == NULL) { > + perror (tls_psk); > + exit (EXIT_FAILURE); > + } > + > + err = gnutls_psk_allocate_server_credentials (&psk_creds); > + if (err < 0) { > + print_gnutls_error (err, "allocating PSK credentials"); > + exit (EXIT_FAILURE);Do you care about lint-like efforts to free abs_psk_file before exit?

Not a blocker, but conceptually relevant. When I add the authorization work to QEMU I'd intend to use that to authorize the client username.

To actually distinguish which client is connected you can call gnutls_psk_server_get_username(3) in the server to return the user who connected, although I believe this only works after a successful handshake has completed (so no good for debugging failed connections for example).> Is there any reason for nbdkit as a server > to additionally limit which resources are served depending on which > client connected?It could be done (maybe passed to the plugin?) At the moment nbdkit doesn't distinguish based on client, eg. with client certificate CN or IP address.> >+ err = gnutls_psk_allocate_server_credentials (&psk_creds); > >+ if (err < 0) { > >+ print_gnutls_error (err, "allocating PSK credentials"); > >+ exit (EXIT_FAILURE); > > Do you care about lint-like efforts to free abs_psk_file before > exit?

In the nbdkit top build directory, and assuming you've patched and compiled qemu in ~/d/qemu: $ make -C tests check PATH=~/d/qemu:$PATH TESTS=test-tls-psk.sh Thanks for the rest of the review, I'll update the patch based on your comments.

Shared key should be used exactly once, for single operation. This means that you cannot loose the key and you don't need to manage it. It would be best if we could pass the key to without writing it to actual file so we don't have to clean it up later.
