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.
