This is the result of:
- Changing build.go to take the protobuf version from the modules
instead of hardcoded
- `go get github.com/gogo/protobuf@v1.3.0` to upgrade
- `go run build.go proto` to regenerate our code
This introduces a better set of defaults for large databases. I've
experimentally determined that it results in much better throughput in a
couple of scenarios with large databases, but I can't give any
guarantees the values are always optimal. They're probably no worse than
the defaults though.
This adds a set of magical environment variables that can be used to
tweak the database parameters. It's totally undocumented and not
intended to be a long term or supported thing.
It's ugly, but there is a backstory. I have a couple of large
installations where the database options are inefficient or otherwise
suboptimal (24/7 compaction going on and stuff like that). I don't
*know* the correct database parameters, nor yet the formula or method to
derive them by, so this requires experimentation. Experimentation needs
to happen partly in production, and rolling out new builds for every
tweak isn't practical. This provides override points for all reasonable
values, while not changing anything by default.
Ideally, at the end of such experimentation, we'll know which values are
relevant to change and in what manner, and can provide a more user
friendly knob to do so - or do it automatically based on the database
size.
Flush the batch when exceeding a certain size, instead of when reaching a number
of batched operations.
Move batch to lowlevel to be able to use it in NamespacedKV.
Increase the leveldb memory buffer from 4 to 16 MiB.
To do so the BlockMap struct has been removed. It behaves like any other prefixed
part of the database, but was not integrated in the recent keyer refactor. Now
the database is only flushed when files are in a consistent state.
There was a problem in iterating the sequence index that could result
in missing updates. The issue is that while the index was (correctly)
iterated in a snapshot, the actual file infos were read dirty outside of
the snapshot. This fixes this by doing the reads inside the snapshot,
and also updates a couple of other places that did the same thing more
or less harmfully (I didn't investigate).
To avoid similar issues in the future I did some renaming of the
getFile* methods - the ones in a transaction are just getFile, while the
ones directly on the database are variants of getFileDirty to highlight
what's going on.
* go mod init; rm -rf vendor
* tweak proto files and generation
* go mod vendor
* clean up build.go
* protobuf literals in tests
* downgrade gogo/protobuf
This adds a thin type that holds the state associated with the
leveldb.DB, leaving the huge Instance type more or less stateless. Also
moves some keying stuff into the DB package so that other packages need
not know the keying specifics.
(This does not, yet, fix the cmd/stindex program, in order to keep the
diff size down. Hence the keying constants are still exported.)
The problem here is that we would update the sequence index before
updating the FileInfos, which would result in a high sequence number
pointing to a low-sequence FileInfo. The index sender would pick up the
high sequence number, send the old file, and think everything was good.
On the receiving side the old file is a no-op and ignored. The file
remains out of sync until another update for it happens.
This fixes that by correcting the order of operations in the database
update: first we remove old sequence index entries, then we update the
FileInfos (which now don't have anything pointing to them) and then we
add the sequence indexes (which the index sender can see).
The other option is to add "proper" transactions where required at the
database layer. I actually have a branch for that, but it's literally
thousands of lines of diff and I'm putting that off for another day as
this solves the problem...
Adds a receive only folder type that does not send changes, and where the user can optionally revert local changes. Also changes some of the icons to make the three folder types distinguishable.
We have the invalid bit to indicate that a file isn't good. That's enough for remote devices. For ourselves, it would be good to know sometimes why the file isn't good - because it's an unsupported type, because it matches an ignore pattern, or because we detected the data is bad and we need to rescan it.
Or, and this is the main future reason for the PR, because it's a change detected on a receive only device. We will want something like the invalid flag for those changes, but marking them as invalid today means the scanner will rehash them. Hence something more fine grained is required.
This introduces a LocalFlags fields to the FileInfo where we can stash things that we care about locally. For example,
FlagLocalUnsupported = 1 << 0 // The kind is unsupported, e.g. symlinks on Windows
FlagLocalIgnored = 1 << 1 // Matches local ignore patterns
FlagLocalMustRescan = 1 << 2 // Doesn't match content on disk, must be rechecked fully
The LocalFlags fields isn't sent over the wire; instead the Invalid attribute is calculated based on the flags at index sending time. It's on the FileInfo anyway because that's what we serialize to database etc.
The actual Invalid flag should after this just be considered when building the global state and figuring out availability for remote devices. It is not used for local file index entries.
To optimize WithNeed, which is called for the local device whenever an index
update is received. No tracking for remote devices to conserve db space, as
WithNeed is only queried for completion.
This adds a couple of utilities for transporting databases in JSON and a
test to load a database and verify a couple of invalid bits. The test
itself is quite pointless at the moment, but it lays the groundwork for
testing the migration of this data in the next step (after the invalid
bit should be changed to local flags for local files).
When that happens we need to have a database in the old format already
there in order to be able to test the migration.
Instead of walking and unmarshalling the entire db and sorting the resulting
file infos by sequence, add store device keys by sequence number in the
database. Thus only the required file infos need be unmarshalled and are already
sorted by index.
When dropping delta index IDs due to upgrade, only drop our local one.
Previously, when dropping all of them, we would trigger a full send in
both directions on first connect after upgrade. Then the other side
would upgrade, doing the same thing. Net effect is full index data gets
sent twice in both directions.
With this change we just drop our local ID, meaning we will send our
full index on first connect after upgrade. When the other side upgrades,
they will do the same. This is a bit less cruel.
Unignored files are marked as conflicting while scanning, which is then resolved
in the subsequent pull. Automatically reconciles needed items on send-only
folders, if they do not actually differ except for internal metadata.
* lib/db: Don't panic on negative counts (fixes#4659)
So, negative counts should never happen and hence the original idea to
panic. However, this sucks as the panic will happen in a folder runner,
be automatically swallowed by suture, and the runner gets restarted but
now we are in a bad state. (Related: #4758)
At the time of writing the global list is somewhat in flux (we've
changed how ignored files are handled, invalid bits, etc.) and I think
that can cause unusual conditions here. Hence just fixing up the numbers
instead until the next full recount.
When scanner.Walk detects a change, it now returns the new file info as well as the old file info. It also finds deleted and ignored files while scanning.
Also directory deletions are now always committed to db after their children to prevent temporary failure on remote due to non-empty directory.
This keeps the data we need about sequence numbers and object counts
persistently in the database. The sizeTracker is expanded into a
metadataTracker than handled multiple folders, and the Counts struct is
made protobuf serializable. It gains a Sequence field to assist in
tracking that as well, and a collection of Counts become a CountsSet
(for serialization purposes).
The initial database scan is also a consistency check of the global
entries. This shouldn't strictly be necessary. Nonetheless I added a
created timestamp to the metadata and set a variable to compare against
that. When the time since the metadata creation is old enough, we drop
the metadata and rebuild from scratch like we used to, while also
consistency checking.
A new environment variable STCHECKDBEVERY can override this interval,
and for example be set to zero to force the check immediately.

This removes a significant, complex chunk of database code. The
"replace" operation walked both the old and new in lockstep and made the
relevant changes to make the new situation correct. But since delta
indexes we pretty much never need this - we just used replace to drop
the existing data and start over.
This makes that explicit and removes the complexity.
(This is one of those things that would be annoying to make case
insensitive, while the actual "drop and then insert" that we do is
easier.)
This is fairly well unit tested...
The one change to the tests is to cover the fact that previously replace
with something identical didn't bump the sequence number, while
obviously removing everything and re-inserting does. This is not
behavior we depend on anywhere.

So, when first implementing the database layer I added panics on every
unexpected error condition mostly to be sure to flush out bugs and
inconsistencies. Then it became sort of standard, and we don't seem to
have many bugs here any more so the panics are usually caused by things
like checksum errors on read. But it's not an optimal user experience to
crash all the time.
Here I've weeded out most of the panics, while retaining a few "can't
happen" ones like errors on marshalling and write that we really can't
recover from.
For the rest, I'm mostly treating any read error as "entry didn't
exist". This should mean we'll rescan the file and correct the info (if
scanning) or treat it as a new file and do conflict handling (when
pulling). In some cases things like our global stats may be slightly
incorrect until a restart, if a database entry goes suddenly missing
during runtime.
All in all, I think this makes us a bit more robust and friendly without
introducing too many risks for the user. If the database is truly toast,
probably many other things on the system will be toast as well...

Harmonize how we use batches in the model, using ProtoSize() to judge
the actual weight of the entire batch instead of estimating. Use smaller
batches in the block map - I think we might have though that batch.Len()
in the leveldb was the batch size in bytes, but it's actually number of
operations.

One more step on the path of the great refactoring. Touches rwfolder a
little bit since it uses the Lstat from fs as well, but mostly this is
just on the scanner as rwfolder is scheduled for a later refactor.
There are a couple of usages of fs.DefaultFilesystem that will in the
end become a filesystem injected from the top, but that comes later.

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.

Also tweaks the proto definitions:
- [packed=false] on the block_indexes field to retain compat with
v0.14.16 and earlier.
- Uses the vendored protobuf package in include paths.
And, "build.go setup" will install the vendored protoc-gen-gogofast.
This should ensure that a proto rebuild isn't so dependent on whatever
version of the compiler and package the developer has installed...

We used to consider deleted files & directories 128 bytes large. After
the delta indexes change a bug slipped in where deleted files would be
weighted according to their old non-deleted size. Both ways are
incorrect (but the latest change made it worse), as if there are more
files deleted than remaining data in the repo the needSize can be
greater than the globalSize, resulting in a negative completion
percentage.
This change makes it so that deleted items are zero bytes large, which
makes more sense. Instead we expose the number of files that we need to
delete as a separate field in the Completion() result, and hack the
percentage down to 95% complete if it was 100% complete but we need to
delete files. This latter part is sort of ugly, but necessary to give
the user some sort of feedback.

This adds a new nanoseconds field to the FileInfo, populates it during
scans and sets the non-truncated time in Chtimes calls.
The actual file modification time is defined as modified_s seconds +
modified_ns nanoseconds. It's expected that the modified_ns field is <=
1e9 (that is, all whole seconds should go in the modified_s field) but
not really enforced. Given that it's an int32 the timestamp can be
adjusted += ~2.9 seconds by the modified_ns field...
