A stale lock may be refreshed if it continues to exist until after a
replacement lock has been created. This ensures that a repository was
not unlocked in the meantime.
When transferring a repository from S3 to, for example, a local disk
then all empty folders will be missing.
When saving files, the missing intermediate folders are created
automatically. Therefore, missing directories can be ignored by the
`List()` operation.
Linux allows the use of non-`user.` extended attributes on symlinks. One
of the main users of this functionality is SELinux's `security.selinux`
xattr for storing a path's label. By storing symlink xattrs, restic is
now suitable for backing up the root filesystem on Linux distributions
that use SELinux.
This commit adds support for symlink xattrs when backing up data,
restoring data, and mounting snapshots via a fuse mount. All calls to
the xattr library have been updated to the use `L` variants of the
various functions, which always operate on the path given, without
following symlinks.

Conceptually the backend configuration should be validated when creating
or opening the backend, but not when filling in information from
environment variables into the configuration.
This unified construction removes most backend-specific code from
global.go. The backend registry will also enable integration tests to
use custom backends if necessary.
The ETA restic displays was based on a rate computed across the entire
backup operation. Often restic can progress at uneven rates. In the worst
case, restic progresses over most of the backup at a very high rate and
then finds new data to back up. The displayed ETA is then unrealistic and
never adapts.
Restic now estimates the transfer rate based on a sliding window, with the
goal of adapting to observed changes in rate. To avoid wild changes in the
estimate, several heuristics are used to keep the sliding window wide
enough to be relatively stable.
In order to change the backend initialization in `global.go` to be able
to generically call cfg.ApplyEnvironment() for supported backends, the
`interface{}` returned by `ParseConfig` must contain a pointer to the
configuration.
An alternative would be to use reflection to convert the type from
`interface{}(Config)` to `interface{}(*Config)` (from value to pointer
type). However, this would just complicate the type mess further.
Iterating through the indexmap according to the bucket order has the
problem that all indexEntries are accessed in random order which is
rather cache inefficient.
As we already keep a list of all allocated blocks, just iterate through
it. This allows iterating through a batch of indexEntries without random
memory accesses. In addition, the packID will likely remain similar
across multiple blobs as all blobs of a pack file are added as a single
batch.
This data structure reduces the wasted memory to O(sqrt(n)). The
top-layer of the hashed array tree (HAT) also has a size of O(sqrt(n)),
which makes it cache efficient. The top-layer should be small enough to
easily fit into the CPU cache and thus only adds little overhead
compared to directly accessing an index entry via a pointer.
The indexEntry objects are now allocated in a separate array. References
to an indexEntry are now stored as array indices. This has the benefit
of allowing the garbage collector to ignore the indexEntry objects as
these do not contain pointers and are part of a single large allocation.
New and its helpers used to create the cache directories several times
over. They now only do so once. The added test ensures that the cache is
produced in a consistent state when parts are deleted.
Use the logging methods from testing.TB to make use of tb.Helper(). This
allows the tests to log the filename and line number in which the test
helper was called. Previously the test helper was logged which is rarely
useful.
This function casts its argument to int32 before passing it to the
system call, so that big-endian CPUs read the lower rather than the
upper 32 bits of the pid.
This also gets rid of the last import of "unsafe" in the Unix build.
I changed syscall to x/sys/unix while I was at it, to remove one more
import line. The constants and types there are aliases for their syscall
counterparts.
As the `Fatal` error type only includes a string, it becomes impossible
to inspect the contained error. This is for a example a problem for the
fuse implementation, which must be able to detect context.Canceled
errors.

For hardlinked files, only the first instance of that file increases the
amount of bytes to restore. All later instances only increase the file
count but not the restore size.
restic must be able to refresh lock files in time. However, large
uploads over slow connections can cause the lock refresh to be stuck
behind the large uploads and thus time out.
The test had a 4% chance of not modified the data read from the
repository, in which case the test would fail. Change the data
manipulation to just modified each read operation.
This adds support for caching already rewritten trees, handling of load
errors and disabling the check that the serialization doesn't lead to
data loss.
The more generic RewriteNode callback replaces the SelectByName and
PrintExclude functions. The main part of this change is a preparation to
allow using the TreeRewriter for the `repair snapshots` command.
The builtin mechanism to capture a stacktrace in Go is to send a SIGQUIT
to the running process. However, this mechanism is not avaiable on
Windows. Thus, tweak the SIGINT handler to dump a stacktrace if the
environment variable `RESTIC_DEBUG_STACKTRACE_SIGINT` is set.
The SemaphoreBackend now uniformly enforces the limit of concurrent
backend operations. In addition, it unifies the parameter validation.
The List() methods no longer uses a semaphore. Restic already never runs
multiple list operations in parallel.
By managing the semaphore in a wrapper backend, the sections that hold a
semaphore token grow slightly. However, the main bottleneck is IO, so
this shouldn't make much of a difference.
The key insight that enables the SemaphoreBackend is that all of the
complex semaphore handling in `openReader()` still happens within the
original call to `Load()`. Thus, getting and releasing the semaphore
tokens can be refactored to happen directly in `Load()`. This eliminates
the need for wrapping the reader in `openReader()` to release the token.
The snapshot filtering internally converts relative paths to absolute
ones to ensure that the parent snapshots selection works for backups of
relative paths.
x/text/width.LookupRune has to re-encode its argument as UTF-8,
while LookupString operates on the UTF-8 directly.
The uint casts get rid of a bounds check.
Benchmark results, with b.ResetTimer introduced first:
name old time/op new time/op delta
TruncateASCII-8 69.7ns ± 1% 55.2ns ± 1% -20.90% (p=0.000 n=20+18)
TruncateUnicode-8 350ns ± 1% 171ns ± 1% -51.05% (p=0.000 n=20+19)
Since 0.15 (#4020), inodes are generated as hashes of names, xor'd with
the parent inode. That means that the inode of a/b/b is
h(a/b/b) = h(a) ^ h(b) ^ h(b) = h(a).
I.e., the grandchild has the same inode as the grandparent. GNU find
trips over this because it thinks it has encountered a loop in the
filesystem, and fails to search a/b/b. This happens more generally when
the same name occurs an even number of times.
Fix this by multiplying the parent by a large prime, so the combining
operation is not longer symmetric in its arguments. This is what the FNV
hash does, which we used prior to 0.15. The hash is now
h(a/b/b) = h(b) ^ p*(h(b) ^ p*h(a))
Note that we already ensure that h(x) is never zero.
Collisions can still occur, but they should be much less likely to occur
within a single path.
Fixes #4253.
Tests in cmd_forget_test.go need the same convenience function
that was implemented in snapshot_policy_test.go.
Function parseDuration(...) was moved to testing.go and renamed to
ParseDurationOrPanic(...).
This turns snapshotFilterOptions from cmd into a restic.SnapshotFilter
type and makes restic.FindFilteredSnapshot and FindFilteredSnapshots
methods on that type. This fixes #4211 by ensuring that hosts and paths
are named struct fields instead of unnamed function arguments in long
lists of such.
Timestamp limits are also included in the new type. To avoid too much
pointer handling, the convention is that time zero means no limit.
That's January 1st, year 1, 00:00 UTC, which is so unlikely a date that
we can sacrifice it for simpler code.
This method had a buffer argument, but that was nil at all call sites.
That's removed, and instead LoadUnpacked now reuses whatever it
allocates inside its retry loop.
With debug logging enabled this method would take a lock and then
format the lock as a string. Since PR #4022 landed the string
formatting method has also taken the lock, so this deadlocks.
Instead just record the lock ID, as is done elsewhere.
The code always assumed that the upgrade happens in place. Thus writing
the upgrade to a separate file fails, when trying to remove the file
stored at that location.
Added missing call to scanFinished=true.
This was causing the percent and eta to never get
printed for backup progress even after the scan was finished.
The retry backend does not return the original error, if its execution
is interrupted by canceling the context. Thus, we have to manually
ensure that the invalid data error gets returned.
Additionally, use the retry backend for some of the repository tests, as
this is the configuration which will be used by restic.
The retry printed the filename twice:
```
Load(<lock/04804cba82>, 0, 0) returned error, retrying after 720.254544ms: load(<lock/04804cba82>): invalid data returned
```
now the warning has changed to
```
Load(<lock/04804cba82>, 0, 0) returned error, retrying after 720.254544ms: invalid data returned
```
The StdioWrapper is not used at all by the ProgressPrinters. It is
called a bit earlier than previously. However, as the password prompt
directly accessed stdin/stdout this doesn't cause problems.
Mostly changed the ones that repeat the name of a system call, which is
already contained in os.PathError.Op. internal/fs.Reader had to be
changed to actually return such errors.
TestRepository and its variants always returned no-op cleanup functions.
If they ever do need to do cleanup, using testing.T.Cleanup is easier
than passing these functions around.
We now check for space that is not reserved for the root user on the
remote, and the check is no longer in a defer block because it wouldn't
fire. Some change in the surrounding code may have led the deferred
function to capture the wrong err variable.
Fixes #3336.
IDs.Less can be rewritten as
string(list[i][:]) < string(list[j][:])
Note that this does not copy the ID's.
The Uniq method was no longer used.
The String method has been reimplemented without first copying into a
separate slice of a custom type.
The Test method was only used in exactly one place, namely when trying
to create a new repository it was used to check whether a config file
already exists.
Use a combination of Stat() and IsNotExist() instead.
Since #3940 the rclone backend returns the commands exit code if it
fails to start. The list of expected errors was missing the "file
already closed"-error which can occur if the http test request first
learns about the closed pipe to rclone before noticing the canceled
context.
Go internally makes sure that a file descriptor is unusable once it was
closed, thus this cannot have unintended side effects (like accidentally
reading from the wrong file due to a reused file descriptor).
The ioutil functions are deprecated since Go 1.17 and only wrap another
library function. Thus directly call the underlying function.
This commit only mechanically replaces the function calls.
Without comma-ok, the runtime inserts the same check with a similar
enough panic message:
interface conversion: interface {} is nil, not *syscall.Stat_t
The new genericized LRU cache no longer needs to have the IDs separately
allocated:
name old time/op new time/op delta
Add-8 494ns ± 2% 388ns ± 2% -21.46% (p=0.000 n=10+9)
name old alloc/op new alloc/op delta

name old allocs/op new allocs/op delta
Add-8 5.00 ± 0% 3.00 ± 0% -40.00% (p=0.000 n=10+10)
Hard links to the same file now get the same inode within the FUSE
mount. Also, inode generation is faster and, more importantly, no longer
allocates.
Benchmarked on Linux/amd64. Old means the benchmark with
sink = fs.GenerateDynamicInode(1, sub.node.Name)
instead of calling inodeFromNode. Results:

In principle, the JSON format of Tree objects is extensible without
requiring a format change. In order to not loose information just play
it safe and reject rewriting trees for which we could loose data.
The lock test creates a lock and checks that it is not stale. However,
it is possible that the lock is refreshed concurrently, which updates
the lock timestamp. Checking the timestamp in `Stale()` without
synchronization results in a data race. Thus add a lock to prevent
concurrent accesses.
The lock test creates a lock and checks that it is not stale. This also
tests whether the corresponding process still exists. However, it is
possible that the lock is refreshed concurrently, which updates the lock
timestamp. Calling `processExists()` with a value receiver, however,
creates an unsynchronized copy of this field. Thus call the method using
a pointer receiver.
In some rare cases files could be created which contain null IDs (all
zero) in their content list. This was caused by a race condition between
growing the `Content` slice and inserting the blob IDs into it. In some
cases the blob ID was written to the old slice, which a short time
afterwards was replaced with a larger copy, that did not yet contain the
blob ID.
Automatically fall back to hiding files if not authorized to permanently
delete files. This allows using restic with an append-only application
key with B2. Thus, an attacker cannot directly delete backups with the
API key used by restic.
To use this feature create an application key without the deleteFiles
capability. It is recommended to restrict the key to just one bucket.
For example using the b2 command line tool:
b2 create-key --bucket <bucketName> <keyName> listBuckets,readFiles,writeFiles,listFiles

We previously checked whether the set of snapshots might have changed
based only on their number, which fails when as many snapshots are
forgotten as are added. Check for the SHA-256 of their id's instead.
The status bar got stuck once the first error was reported, the scanner
completed or some file was backed up. Either case sets a flag that the
scanner has started.
This flag is used to hide the progress bar until the flag is set. Due to
an inverted condition, the opposite happened and the status stopped
refreshing once the flag was set.
In addition, the scannerStarted flag was not set when the scanner just
reported progress information.
As the FileSaver is asynchronously waiting for all blobs of a file to be
stored, the number of active files is higher than the number of files
from which restic is reading concurrently. Thus to not confuse users,
only display files in the status from which restic is currently reading.
After reading and chunking all data in a file, the FutureFile still has
to wait until the FutureBlobs are completed. This was done synchronously
which results in blocking the file saver and prevents the next file from
being read.
By replacing the FutureBlob with a callback, it becomes possible to
complete the FutureFile asynchronously.
We always need both values, except in a test, so we don't need to lock
twice and risk scheduling in between.
Also, removed the resetting in Done. This copied a mutex, which isn't
allowed. Static analyzers tend to trip over that.
The channel-based algorithm had grown quite complicated. This is easier
to reason about and likely to be more performant with very many
CompleteBlob calls.
As long as only a small fraction of the data in a repository is
rewritten, the keepBlobs set will be rather small after cleaning it up.
As golang maps do not shrink their memory usage, just copy the contents
over to a new map. However, only copy the map if the cleanup removed at
least half the entries.
The set covers necessary, existing and duplicate blobs. This removes the
duplicate sets used to track whether all necessary blobs also exist.
This reduces the memory usage of prune by about 20-30%.
The RetryBackend tests depend on the mock backend. When the Backend
interface is eventually split from the restic package, this will lead to
a dependency cycle between backend and backend/mock. Thus split the
RetryBackend into a separate package to avoid this problem.
Archiver.Save queries the current time multiple times. This commit
removes one of these calls as they showed up while profiling a backup of
a nearly unchanged dataset containing 3 million files.
The string form was presumably useful before the introduction of
layouts, but right now it just makes call sequences and garbage
collection more expensive (the latter because every string contains
a pointer to be scanned).
if x { return true } return false => return x
fmt.Sprintf("%v", x) => fmt.Sprint(x) or x.String()
The fmt.Sprintf idiom is still used in the SecretString tests, where it
serves security hardening.
ID.UnmarshalJSON accepted non-JSON input with ' as the string delimiter.
Also, the error message for non-hex input was less informative than it
could be and it performed too many checks.
Changed ParseID to keep the error messages consistent.
FindFilteredSnapshots no longer prints errors during snapshot loading on
stderr, but instead passes the error to the callback to allow the caller
to decide on what to do.
In addition, it moves the logic to handle an explicit snapshot list from
the main package to restic.
