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.
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.
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 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.
