For consistency sake I'd rather use bufferLenght and bufferOffset.

s/%2X/%02X/
as we want chunks to be eventually prepended with 0's.
In addition, I'd like to see these magic constants as #define even
they'd be used only once.

Is there any reason for having "yes" and "no" separately and not
directly in the 1st string?

However, whole switch is awful. But that's libssh's fault if they use
different values for get and add.

This can be joined with the former if, as virBufferContentAndReset()
returns NULL if buffer has an error.

In fact, ssh agent might be giving us some keys which don't belong to
the server we are loggin in. In this case
LIBSSH2_ERROR_PUBLICKEY_UNVERIFIED is returned. So check ret for this
value as well.

Yeah, I'd try again but not endlessly. Whatabout giving users a limit
for the maximum number of retries? Or should we depend fully on server
how much it will allows?

Can we let libssh to actually parse sshconfigs for us? As for some hosts
I use sss-agent, for some I am using keybord-interactive. And this code
deosn'y play nice with this.

This has different semantics than the two following functions. In here,
we set channelCommand iff there was passed one. However, the two
following functions allows us to pass NULL and thus erase any value set.

Is there any reason for '0x' just before '%p' format modifier?
'%p' will prepend '0x' anyway.

Missing virMutexUnlock(&sess->lock); virMutexDestroy(&sess->lock);
I wonder if we want to create onliners for this as we have in the rest
of libvirt code:

void virNetLibSSHSessionLock(virNetLibSSHSessionPtr sess)
{
    virMutexLock(&sess->lock);
}

void virNetLibSSHSessionUnlock(virNetLibSSHSessionPtr sess)
{
    virMutexUnlock(&sess->lock);
}

I think that check for session state should be done after locking the
session. Otherwise if two threads try to connect at the same time,
they'll connect twise. I know it is not likely now, but who knows what's
happen next?

One thing - I'd suggest to rewrite the code (esp. in
virnetlibsshcontext.c) and collapse error paths with goto; I mean this
structure:

func(args) {
  int ret = -1;
  virMutexLock();
  if (operation() < 0) {
    reportError();
    goto cleanup;
  }

  ...
  ret = 0;
cleanup:
  virMutexUnlock();
  return ret;
}

instead of:
func(args) {
  int ret = 0;
  virMutexLock();
  if (operation() < 0) {
    reportError();
    virMutexUnlock();
    return -1;
  }
  ...
  virMutexUnlock();
  return ret;
}

In some part of the code you stick perfectly to the latter style, but
I'd gladly see this on the rest as well, e.g.
virNetLibSSHCheckHostKey(), virNetLibSSHAuthenticate().

Overall, some memleaks are hard to spot as libssh documentation tries to
avoid telling users if caller should or should not free() returned
value. And I am not into diggin over libssh code :P
But the feeling after reading this is good.
