Currently, the cmd/restic package contains a significant amount of code
that modifies repository internals. This code should in the mid-term
move into the repository package.
LoadBlobsFromPack is now part of the repository struct. This ensures
that users of that method don't have to deal will internals of the
repository implementation.
The filerestorer tests now also contain far fewer pack file
implementation details.
If an error occurred while streaming a pack file, this could result in
passing some of the blobs multiple times to the callback function. This
significantly complicates using StreamPack correctly and is unnecessary.
Retries do not change the content of a blob and thus only deliver the
same result over and over again.
Store oversized blobs in separate pack files as the blobs is large
enough to warrant its own pack file. This simplifies the garbage
collection of such blobs and keeps the cache smaller, as oversize (tree)
blobs only have to be downloaded if they are actually used.
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.

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.
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
```
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.
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.
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.
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%.
Repositories with mixed packs are probably quite rare by now. When
loading data blobs from a mixed pack file, this will no longer trigger
caching that file. However, usually tree blobs are accessed first such
that this shouldn't make much of a difference.
The checker gets a simpler replacement.
Sparse files contain large regions containing only zero bytes. Checking
that a blob only contains zeros is possible with over 100GB/s for modern
x86 CPUs. Calculating sha256 hashes is only possible with 500MB/s (or
2GB/s using hardware acceleration). Thus we can speed up the hash
calculation for all zero blobs (which always have length
chunker.MinSize) by checking for zero bytes and then using the
precomputed hash.
The all zeros check is only performed for blobs with the minimal chunk
size, and thus should add no overhead most of the time. For chunks which
are not all zero but have the minimal chunks size, the overhead will be
below 2% based on the above performance numbers.
This allows reading sparse sections of files as fast as the kernel can
return data to us. On my system using BTRFS this resulted in about
4GB/s.
Sending data through a channel at very high frequency is extremely
inefficient. Thus use simple callbacks instead of channels.

Ignored packs were reported as an empty pack by EachByPack. The most
immediate effect of this is that the progress bar for rebuilding the
index reports processing more packs than actually exist.
Previously the buffer was grown incrementally inside `repo.LoadUnpacked`.
But we can do better as we already know how large the index will be.
Allocate a bit more memory to increase the chance that the buffer can be
reused in the future.
For large pack sizes we might be only interested in the first and last
blob of a pack file. Thus stream a pack file in multiple parts if the
gaps between requested blobs grow too large.
Use runtime.GOMAXPROCS(0) as worker count for CPU-bound tasks,
repo.Connections() for IO-bound task and a combination if a task can be
both. Streaming packs is treated as IO-bound as adding more worker
cannot provide a speedup.
Typical IO-bound tasks are download / uploading / deleting files.
Decoding / Encoding / Verifying are usually CPU-bound. Several tasks are
a combination of both, e.g. for combined download and decode functions.
In the latter case add both limits together. As the backends have their
own concurrency limits restic still won't download more than
repo.Connections() files in parallel, but the additional workers can
decode already downloaded data in parallel.
Use only a single not completed pack file to keep the number of open and
active pack files low. The main change here is to defer hashing the pack
file to the upload step. This prevents the pack assembly step to become
a bottleneck as the only task is now to write data to the temporary pack
file.
The tests are cleaned up to no longer reimplement packer manager
functions.
Previously, SaveAndEncrypt would assemble blobs into packs and either
return immediately if the pack is not yet full or upload the pack file
otherwise. The upload will block the current goroutine until it
finishes.
Now, the upload is done using separate goroutines. This requires changes
to the error handling. As uploads are no longer tied to a SaveAndEncrypt
call, failed uploads are signaled using an errgroup.
To count the uploaded amount of data, the pack header overhead is no
longer returned by `packer.Finalize` but rather by
`packer.HeaderOverhead`. This helper method is necessary to continue
returning the pack header overhead directly to the responsible call to
`repository.SaveBlob`. Without the method this would not be possible,
as packs are finalized asynchronously.
As MergeFinalIndex and index uploads can occur concurrently, it is
necessary for MergeFinalIndex to check whether the IDs for an index were
already set before merging it. Otherwise, we'd loose the ID of an index
which is set _after_ uploading it.
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.
When given a buf that is big enough for a compressed blob but not its
decompressed contents, the copy at the end of LoadBlob would skip the
last part of the contents.
Fixes #3783.
fd05037e1a changed the allocation batch
size from 256 to 128 under the assumption that an indexEntry is 60 bytes
on amd64, but it's 64: structs are padded out to a multiple of 8 for
alignment reasons. That means we'd waste no space in malloc even without
the batch allocation, at least on 64-bit machines. While that strategy
cuts the overallocation down dramatically for many small indexes, it also
seems to slow allocation down (Go 1.18, Linux, amd64, -benchtime=2s):

Instead, this patch sets a batch size of 4, which means no space is
wasted by malloc on 64-bit and very little on 32-bit. It still gets very
close to the savings from not allocating in batches, without requiring
special code for bits.UintSize==64. Benchmark results, again for

The allocation method indexmap.newEntry has also been rewritten in a
form that is a few instructions shorter.
This removes RunWorkers, which had become mere overhead by successive
refactors. It also ensures that each former user of that function
returns any context error that occurs, so failure to complete an
operation is always reported as an error.
Apparently it can take a moment between closing a tempfile marked as
DELETE_ON_CLOSE and it actually being deleted. During that time the file
is inaccessible. Thus just skip deleting the temp file on windows.
A compressed index is only about one third the size of an uncompressed
one. Thus increase the number of entries in an index to avoid cluttering
the repository with small indexes.
The config file is not compressed as it should remain readable by older
restic versions such that these can return a proper error.
As the old format for unpacked data does not include a version header,
make use of a trick: The old data is always encoded as JSON. Thus it can
only start with '{' or '['. For any other value the first byte indicates
a versioned format. The version is set to 2 for now. Then the zstd
compressed data follows.
As repack streams packs these occupy one backend connection. Uploading a
new pack also requires a backend connection. To prevent a deadlock
during repack when reaching the backend connections limit, simply limit
the repackWorker count to always leave one connection for uploading.
The repack operation copies all selected blobs from a set of pack files
into new pack files. For prune the source and destination repositories
are identical. To implement copy, just use a different source and
destination repository.
The function supports efficiently loading a specified list of blobs from
a single pack in a streaming fashion. That is there's no need for
temporary files independent of the pack size.
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.
