Go is not cgroup aware and by default will set GOMAXPROCS to the number
of available threads, regardless of whether it is within the allocated
quota. This behaviour causes high amount of CPU throttling and degraded
application performance.
This is a mostly pointless change to make security scanners and static
analysis tools happy, as they all hate seeing md5. None of our md5 uses
were security relevant, but still. Only visible effect of this change is
that our temp file names for very long file names become slightly longer
than they were previously...
- 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.
After this change,
- Symlinks on Windows are always unsupported. Sorry.
- Symlinks are always enabled on other platforms. They are just a small
file like anything else. There is no need to special case them. If you
don't want to sync some symlinks, ignore them.
- The protocol doesn't differentiate between different "types" of
symlinks. If that distinction ever does become relevant the individual
devices can figure it out by looking at the destination when they
create the link.
It's backwards compatible in that all the old symlink types are still
understood to be symlinks, and the new SYMLINK type is equivalent to the
old SYMLINK_UNKNOWN which was always a valid way to do it.
