As of the latest database checker we are again putting files without
blocks. I'm not 100% convinced that's a great idea, but we also do it
for ignored files apparently so it looks like we probably should support
it. This adds an escape hatch that must be manually enabled...
- In the few places where we wrap errors, use the new Go 1.13 "%w"
construction instead of %s or %v.
- Where we create errors with constant strings, consistently use
errors.New and not fmt.Errorf.
- Remove capitalization from errors in the few places where we had that.
If we decide to recalculate the metadata we shouldn't start from
whatever we loaded from the database, as that data is wrong. We should
start from a clean slate.
I was working on indirecting version vectors, and that resulted in some
refactoring and improving the existing block indirection stuff. We may
or may not end up doing the version vector indirection, but I think
these changes are reasonable anyhow and will simplify the diff
significantly if we do go there. The main points are:
- A bunch of renaming to make the indirection and GC not about "blocks"
but about "indirection".
- Adding a cutoff so that we don't actually indirect for small block
lists. This gets us better performance when handling small files as it
cuts out the indirection for quite small loss in space efficiency.
- Being paranoid and always recalculating the hash on put. This costs
some CPU, but the consequences if a buggy or malicious implementation
silently substituted the block list by lying about the hash would be bad.
One of the causes of "panic: database is closed" is that we try to send
summaries after it's been closed. Calculating summaries can take a long
time and if we have a lot of folders it's not unreasonable to think
that we might be stopped in this loop, so prepare to bail here.
* push
During NAT discovery we block for 10s (NatTimeoutS) before returning.
This is mostly noticeable when Ctrl-C:ing a Syncthing directly after
startup as we wait for those ten seconds before shutting down. This
makes it check the context a little bit more frequently.
This adds metadata updates to the same write batch as the underlying
file change. The odds of a metadata update going missing is greatly
reduced.
Bonus change: actually commit the transaction in recalcMeta.
lib/db: Recover sequence number and metadata on startup (fixes#6335)
If we crashed after writing new file entries but before updating
metadata in the database the sequence number and metadata will be wrong.
This fixes that.
We could potentially get a snapshot and then fail to get a releaser,
leaking the snapshot. This takes the releaser first and makes sure to
release it on snapshot error.
The readWriteTransaction offered both commit() (the one to use) and
Commit() (via embedding) where the latter didn't close the read
transaction. This removes the lower cased variant in order to prevent
the mistake.
The only place where the mistake was made was the new gc runner, where
it would leave a read snapshot open forever.
During some other work I discovered these tests weren't great, so I've
rewritten them to be a little better. The real changes here are:
- Don't play games with not starting the folder and such, and don't
construct a fake folder instance -- just use the one the model has. The
folder starts and scans but the folder contents are empty at this point
so that's fine.
- Use a fakefs instead of a temp dir.
- To support the above, implement a fakefs option `?content=true` to
make the fakefs actually retain written content. Use sparingly,
obviously, but it means the fakefs can usually be used instead of an
on disk real directory.
This adds a new config with the simple and concise name
maxConcurrentIncomingRequestKiB. This limits how many bytes we have "in
the air" in the form of response data being read and processed.
After some testing I think that not having this limiter is seldom a
great idea and thus I propose a default value of 256 MiB for this new
setting.
I also refactored the folder IO limiter to be a model/folder attribute
instead of a package global.
Adds a new folder state "Waiting to Sync" in the same vein as the
existing "Waiting to Scan". This vastly improves performances in the
rare cases when there are lots and lots of folders operating.
Also retain the interval over restarts by storing last GC time in the
database. This to make sure that GC eventually happens even if the
interval is configured to a long time (say, a month).
* lib/db: Deduplicate block lists in database (fixes#5898)
This moves the block list in the database out from being just a field on
the FileInfo to being an object of its own. When putting a FileInfo we
marshal the block list separately and store it keyed by the sha256 of
the marshalled block list. When getting, if we are not doing a
"truncated" get, we do an extra read and unmarshal for the block list.
Old block lists are cleared out by a periodic GC sweep. The alternative
would be to use refcounting, but:
- There is a larger risk of getting that wrong and either dropping a
block list in error or keeping them around forever.
- It's tricky with our current database, as we don't have dirty reads.
This means that if we update two FileInfos with identical block lists in
the same transaction we can't just do read/modify/write for the ref
counters as we wouldn't see our own first update. See above about
tracking this and risks about getting it wrong.
GC uses a bloom filter for keys to avoid heavy RAM usage. GC can't run
concurrently with FileInfo updates so there is a new lock around those
operation at the lowlevel.
The end result is a much more compact database, especially for setups
with many peers where files get duplicated many times.
This is per-key-class stats for a large database I'm currently working
with, under the current schema:

```
Note 7.4 GB of data in class 00, total size 9.2 GB. After running the
migration we get this instead:
```

Class 00 is now down to 2.6 GB, with just 61 MB added in class 0d.
There will be some additional reads in some cases which theoretically
hurts performance, but this will be more than compensated for by smaller
writes and better compaction.
On my own home setup which just has three devices and a handful of
folders the difference is smaller in absolute numbers of course, but
still less than half the old size:
```
0x00: 297122 items, 20894 KB keys + 306860 KB data, 70 B + 1032 B avg, 103237 B max

...
Total 1947412 items, 151268 KB keys + 337485 KB data.
```
to:

Makes the logic a bit clearer and safer. This also sneakily redefines
the 0 interval to also mean disabled, whereas it previously meant ...
sometimes default to 1s, sometimes just spin.
* lib/db, lib/protocol: Compact FileInfo and BlockInfo alignment
This fixes the following two lint warnings
FileInfo: struct of size 160 bytes could be of size 136 bytes
BlockInfo: struct of size 48 bytes could be of size 40 bytes
by reordering fields in alignment order (64 bit fields, then 32 bit
fields, then 16 bit fields (if any), then small ones). The end result is
a slightly less aesthetically pleasing struct field order, but since
these are the objects we often juggle in bulk and keep large queues of I
think it's worth it.
It's a micro optimization, but a cheap one.
This adds error returns to model methods called by the protocol layer.
Returning an error will cause the connection to be torn down as the
message couldn't be handled. Using this to signal that a folder isn't
currently available will then cause a reconnection a few moments later,
when it'll hopefully work better.
Tested manually by running with STRECHECKDBEVERY=0 on a nontrivially
sized setup. This panics reliably before this patch, but just causes a
disconnect/reconnect now.
As foretold by the prophecy, "once the database refactor is merged, then
shall appear a request to propagate errors from the store known
throughout the land as the NamedspacedKV, and it shall be good".
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".
* lib/versioner: Reduce surface area
This is a refactor while I was anyway rooting around in the versioner.
Instead of exporting every possible implementation and the factory and
letting the caller do whatever, this now encapsulates all that and
exposes a New() that takes a config.VersioningConfiguration.
Given that and that we don't know (from the outside) how a versioner
works or what state it keeps, we now just construct it once per folder
and keep it around. Previously it was recreated for each restore
request.

We incorrectly gave a too small buffer to lz4.Compress, causing it to
allocate in some cases (when the data actually becomes larger when
compressed). This then panicked when passed to the buffer pool.
This ensures a buffer that is large enough, and adds tripwires closer to
the source in case this ever pops up again. There is a test that
exercises the issue.
