At a high level, this is what I've done and why:
- I'm moving the protobuf generation for the `protocol`, `discovery` and
`db` packages to the modern alternatives, and using `buf` to generate
because it's nice and simple.
- After trying various approaches on how to integrate the new types with
the existing code, I opted for splitting off our own data model types
from the on-the-wire generated types. This means we can have a
`FileInfo` type with nicer ergonomics and lots of methods, while the
protobuf generated type stays clean and close to the wire protocol. It
does mean copying between the two when required, which certainly adds a
small amount of inefficiency. If we want to walk this back in the future
and use the raw generated type throughout, that's possible, this however
makes the refactor smaller (!) as it doesn't change everything about the
type for everyone at the same time.
- I have simply removed in cold blood a significant number of old
database migrations. These depended on previous generations of generated
messages of various kinds and were annoying to support in the new
fashion. The oldest supported database version now is the one from
Syncthing 1.9.0 from Sep 7, 2020.
- I changed config structs to be regular manually defined structs.
For the sake of discussion, some things I tried that turned out not to
work...
### Embedding / wrapping
Embedding the protobuf generated structs in our existing types as a data
container and keeping our methods and stuff:
```
package protocol
type FileInfo struct {
*generated.FileInfo
}
```
This generates a lot of problems because the internal shape of the
generated struct is quite different (different names, different types,
more pointers), because initializing it doesn't work like you'd expect
(i.e., you end up with an embedded nil pointer and a panic), and because
the types of child types don't get wrapped. That is, even if we also
have a similar wrapper around a `Vector`, that's not the type you get
when accessing `someFileInfo.Version`, you get the `*generated.Vector`
that doesn't have methods, etc.
### Aliasing
```
package protocol
type FileInfo = generated.FileInfo
```
Doesn't help because you can't attach methods to it, plus all the above.
### Generating the types into the target package like we do now and
attaching methods
This fails because of the different shape of the generated type (as in
the embedding case above) plus the generated struct already has a bunch
of methods that we can't necessarily override properly (like `String()`
and a bunch of getters).
### Methods to functions
I considered just moving all the methods we attach to functions in a
specific package, so that for example
```
package protocol
func (f FileInfo) Equal(other FileInfo) bool
```
would become
```
package fileinfos
func Equal(a, b *generated.FileInfo) bool
```
and this would mostly work, but becomes quite verbose and cumbersome,
and somewhat limits discoverability (you can't see what methods are
available on the type in auto completions, etc). In the end I did this
in some cases, like in the database layer where a lot of things like
`func (fv *FileVersion) IsEmpty() bool` becomes `func fvIsEmpty(fv
*generated.FileVersion)` because they were anyway just internal methods.
Fixes#8247
This is a refactor of the protocol/model interface to take the actual
message as the parameter, instead of the broken-out fields:
```diff
type Model interface {
// An index was received from the peer device
- Index(conn Connection, folder string, files []FileInfo) error
+ Index(conn Connection, idx *Index) error
// An index update was received from the peer device
- IndexUpdate(conn Connection, folder string, files []FileInfo) error
+ IndexUpdate(conn Connection, idxUp *IndexUpdate) error
// A request was made by the peer device
- Request(conn Connection, folder, name string, blockNo, size int32, offset int64, hash []byte, weakHash uint32, fromTemporary bool) (RequestResponse, error)
+ Request(conn Connection, req *Request) (RequestResponse, error)
// A cluster configuration message was received
- ClusterConfig(conn Connection, config ClusterConfig) error
+ ClusterConfig(conn Connection, config *ClusterConfig) error
// The peer device closed the connection or an error occurred
Closed(conn Connection, err error)
// The peer device sent progress updates for the files it is currently downloading
- DownloadProgress(conn Connection, folder string, updates []FileDownloadProgressUpdate) error
+ DownloadProgress(conn Connection, p *DownloadProgress) error
}
```
(and changing the `ClusterConfig` to `*ClusterConfig` for symmetry;
we'll be forced to use all pointers everywhere at some point anyway...)
The reason for this is that I have another thing cooking which is a
small troubleshooting change to check index consistency during transfer.
This required adding a field or two to the index/indexupdate messages,
and plumbing the extra parameters in umpteen changes is almost as big a
diff as this is. I figured let's do it once and avoid having to do that
in the future again...
The rest of the diff falls out of the change above, much of it being in
test code where we run these methods manually...
Instead of separately tracking the token.
Also changes serviceMap to have a channel version of RemoveAndWait, so
that it's possible to do the removal under a lock but wait outside of
the lock. And changed where we do that in connection close, reversing
the change that happened when I added the serviceMap in 40b3b9ad1.
This fixes various test issues with Go 1.20.
- Most tests rewritten to use fakefs where possible
- Some tests that were already skipped, or dubious (invasive,
unmaintainable, unclear what they even tested) have been removed
- Some actual code rewritten to better support testing in fakefs

This adds support for syncing extended attributes on supported
filesystem on Linux, macOS, FreeBSD and NetBSD. Windows is currently
excluded because the APIs seem onerous and annoying and frankly the uses
cases seem few and far between. On Unixes this also covers ACLs as those
are stored as extended attributes.
Similar to ownership syncing this will optional & opt-in, which two
settings controlling the main behavior: one to "sync" xattrs (read &
write) and another one to "scan" xattrs (only read them so other devices
can "sync" them, but not apply any locally).

all: Add package runtimeos for runtime.GOOS comparisons
I grew tired of hand written string comparisons. This adds generated
constants for the GOOS values, and predefined Is$OS constants that can
be iffed on. In a couple of places I rewrote trivial switch:es to if:s,
and added Illumos where we checked for Solaris (because they are
effectively the same, and if we're going to target one of them that
would be Illumos...).
This adds support for syncing ownership on Unixes and on Windows. The
scanner always picks up ownership information, but it is not applied
unless the new folder option "Sync Ownership" is set.
Ownership data is stored in a new FileInfo field called "platform data". This
is intended to hold further platform-specific data in the future
(specifically, extended attributes), which is why the whole design is a
bit overkill for just ownership.
This commit replaces `os.MkdirTemp` with `t.TempDir` in tests. The
directory created by `t.TempDir` is automatically removed when the test
and all its subtests complete.
Prior to this commit, temporary directory created using `os.MkdirTemp`
needs to be removed manually by calling `os.RemoveAll`, which is omitted
in some tests. The error handling boilerplate e.g.
defer func() {
if err := os.RemoveAll(dir); err != nil {
t.Fatal(err)
}
}
is also tedious, but `t.TempDir` handles this for us nicely.

With this change we emulate a case sensitive filesystem on top of
insensitive filesystems. This means we correctly pick up case-only renames
and throw a case conflict error when there would be multiple files differing
only in case.
This safety check has a small performance hit (about 20% more filesystem
operations when scanning for changes). The new advanced folder option
`caseSensitiveFS` can be used to disable the safety checks, retaining the
previous behavior on systems known to be fully case sensitive.

This PR does two things, because one lead to the other:
- Move the leveldb specific stuff into a small "backend" package that
defines a backend interface and the leveldb implementation. This allows,
potentially, in the future, switching the db implementation so another
KV store should we wish to do so.
- Add proper error handling all along the way. The db and backend
packages are now errcheck clean. However, I drew the line at modifying
the FileSet API in order to keep this manageable and not continue
refactoring all of the rest of Syncthing. As such, the FileSet methods
still panic on database errors, except for the "database is closed"
error which is instead handled by silently returning as quickly as
possible, with the assumption that we're anyway "on the way out".
