I've run into an issue where libssh2 (6c7769dcc42) is setting the
_INBOUND flag, BUT, I'm not expecting anymore data (and I don't think
libssh2 is either). Complicating maters is that there is data to be read
on the socket. This means that my program gets into a busy loop.
Short overview of the program is that it's using sftp to read/write
parts of a file as requested, effectively using sftp as a remote file
store...
I can publish the code that triggers it, and I have slightly modfied
sftp code so that it doesn't do read ahead (which may be prt of the
issue, and I will create a PR to allow disabling read ahead), as in my
applciation, reading extra data is not wanted as it will likely waste
bandwidth. Also my code is a WIP, so I'd like to get things a bit
farther before publishing...
But the trace is pretty self explanitory in that you see it setting the
flag (I added the code), but then proceeding to do additional reads, but
not clearing the flag after the reads:

[continued to repeat till I stop the program]
the diff adding the above is:
diff --git a/src/transport.c b/src/transport.c
index 0723b77..dbee285 100644

}
_libssh2_debug(session, LIBSSH2_TRACE_SOCKET,
It seems like the flag should always be cleared when the function
channel_read successfully reads data... But from looking at the
code, this doesn't look safe to do in _libssh2_channel_read...
Thoughts/comments?
