`writeStatus` also cleans no longer used status lines.
The old code actually cleaned one line too much. However, as that line
was never used it makes no difference.
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.
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)
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 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.
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.
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.
When backing up many small files, the unbuffered channels frequently
cause the FileSaver to block when reporting progress information. Thus,
add buffers to these channels to avoid unnecessary scheduling.
As the status information is purely informational, it doesn't matter
that the status reporting shutdown is somewhat racy and could miss a few
final updates.
