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.
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.
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.
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

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.
This package is no longer needed, since we can use the stdlib's
http.NewRequestWithContext.
backend/rclone already did, but it needed a different error check due to
a difference between net/http and ctxhttp.
Also, store the http.Client by value in the REST backend (changed to a
pointer when ctxhttp was introduced) and use errors.WithStack instead
of errors.Wrap where the message was no longer accurate. Errors from
http.NewRequestWithContext will start with "net/http" or "net/url", so
they're easy to identify.
According to the documentation of exec.Cmd Wait() must not be called
before completing all reads from the pipe returned by StdErrPipe(). Thus
return a context that is canceled once rclone has exited and use that as
a precondition to calling Wait(). This should ensure that all errors
printed to stderr have been copied first.
When rclone fails during the connection setup this currently often
results in a context canceled error. Replace this error with the exit
code from rclone.
The only use cases in the code were in errors.IsFatal, backend/b2,
which needs a workaround, and backend.ParseLayout. The last of these
requires all backends to implement error unwrapping in IsNotExist.
All backends except gs already did that.
This is especially useful if ssh asks for a password or if closing the
initial connection could return an error due to a problematic server
implementation.
rclone can exit early for example when the connection to rclone is
relayed for example via ssh: `-o rclone.program='ssh user@example.org
forced-command'`
For backends which are able to atomically replace files, we just can
overwrite the old copy, if it is necessary to retry an upload. This has
the benefit of issuing one operation less and might be beneficial if a
backend storage, due to bugs or similar, could mix up the order of the
upload and delete calls.
When hard deleting the latest file version on B2, this uncovers earlier
versions. If an upload required retries, multiple version might exist
for a file. Thus to reliably delete a file, we have to remove all
versions of it.
pkg/sftp.Client.MkdirAll(d) does a Stat to determine if d exists and is
a directory, then a recursive call to create the parent, so the calls
for data/?? each take three round trips. Doing a Mkdir first should
eliminate two round trips for 255/256 data directories as well as all
but one of the top-level directories.
Also, we can do all of the calls concurrently. This may reintroduce some
of the Stat calls when multiple goroutines try to create the same
parent, but at the default number of connections, that should not be
much of a problem.
... called backend/sema. I resisted the temptation to call the main
type sema.Phore. Also, semaphores are now passed by value to skip a
level of indirection when using them.
github.com/pkg/errors is no longer getting updates, because Go 1.13
went with the more flexible errors.{As,Is} function. Use those instead:
errors from pkg/errors already support the Unwrap interface used by 1.13
error handling. Also:
* check for io.EOF with a straight ==. That value should not be wrapped,
and the chunker (whose error is checked in the cases changed) does not
wrap it.
* Give custom Error methods pointer receivers, so there's no ambiguity
when type-switching since the value type will no longer implement error.
* Make restic.ErrAlreadyLocked private, and rename it to
alreadyLockedError to match the stdlib convention that error type
names end in Error.
* Same with rest.ErrIsNotExist => rest.notExistError.
* Make s3.Backend.IsAccessDenied a private function.
Apparently SMB/CIFS on Linux/macOS returns somewhat random errnos when
trying to sync a windows share which does not support calling fsync for
a directory.
When resolving snapshotIDs in FindFilteredSnapshots either
FindLatestSnapshot or FindSnapshot is called. Both operations issue a
list operation to the backend. When for example passing a long list of
snapshot ids to `forget` this could lead to a large number of list
operations.
These commands filter the snapshots according to some criteria which
essentially requires loading the index before filtering the snapshots.
Thus create a copy of the snapshots list beforehand and use it later on.
Create a temporary file with a sufficiently random name to essentially
avoid any chance of conflicts. Once the upload has finished remove the
temporary suffix. Interrupted upload thus will be ignored by restic.
The missing eof with http2 when a response included a content-length
header but no data, has been fixed in golang 1.17.3/1.16.10. Therefore
just drop the canary test and schedule it for removal once go 1.18 is
required as minimum version by restic.
When deleting a file, B2 sometimes returns a "500 Service Unavailable"
error but nevertheless correctly deletes the file. Due to retries in
the B2 library blazer, we sometimes also see a "400 File not present"
error. The retries of restic for the delete request then fail with
"404 File with such name does not exist.".
As we have to rely on request retries in a distributed system to handle
temporary errors, also consider a delete request to be successful if the
file is reported as not existing. This should be safe as B2 claims to
provide a strongly consistent bucket listing and thus a missing file
shouldn't mysteriously show up again later on.
The rest config normally uses prepareURL to sanitize URLs and ensures
that the URL ends with a slash. However, the test used an URL without a
trailing slash, which after the rest server changes causes test
failures.
For files below 256MB this uses the md5 hash calculated while assembling
the pack file. For larger files the hash for each 100MB part is
calculated on the fly. That hash is also reused as temporary filename.
As restic only uploads encrypted data which includes among others a
random initialization vector, the file hash shouldn't be susceptible to
md5 collision attacks (even though the algorithm is broken).
This enables the backends to request the calculation of a
backend-specific hash. For the currently supported backends this will
always be MD5. The hash calculation happens as early as possible, for
pack files this is during assembly of the pack file. That way the hash
would even capture corruptions of the temporary pack file on disk.
This can be used to check how large a backup is or validate exclusions.
It does not actually write any data to the underlying backend. This is
implemented as a simple overlay backend that accepts writes without
forwarding them, passes through reads, and generally does the minimal
necessary to pretend that progress is actually happening.

Add comment that the check is based on the stdlib HTTP2 client. Refactor
the checks into a function. Return an error if the value in the
Content-Length header cannot be parsed.
The first test function ensures that the workaround works as expected.
And the second test function is intended to fail as soon as the issue
has been fixed in golang to allow us to eventually remove the
workaround.
The golang http client does not return an error when a HTTP2 reply
includes a non-zero content length but does not return any data at all.
This scenario can occur e.g. when using rclone when a file stored in a
backend seems to be accessible but then fails to download.
* Stop prepending the operation name: it's already part of os.PathError,
leading to repetitive errors like "Chmod: chmod /foo/bar: operation not
permitted".
* Use errors.Is to check for specific errors.
Since the fileInfos are returned in a []interface, they're already
allocated on the heap. Making them pointers explicitly means the
compiler doesn't need to generate fileInfo and *fileInfo versions of the
methods on this type. The binary becomes about 7KiB smaller on
Linux/amd64.
The error returned when finishing the upload of an object was dropped.
This could cause silent upload failures and thus data loss in certain
cases. When a MD5 hash for the uploaded blob is specified, a wrong
hash/damaged upload would return its error via the Close() whose error
was dropped.
The azureAdapter was used directly without a pointer, but the Len()
method was only defined with a pointer receiver (which means Len() is
not present on a azureAdapter{}, only on a pointer to it).
Bugs in the error handling while uploading a file to the backend could
cause incomplete files, e.g. https://github.com/golang/go/issues/42400
which could affect the local backend.
Proactively add sanity checks which will treat an upload as failed if
the reported upload size does not match the actual file size.
