Linux allows the use of non-`user.` extended attributes on symlinks. One
of the main users of this functionality is SELinux's `security.selinux`
xattr for storing a path's label. By storing symlink xattrs, restic is
now suitable for backing up the root filesystem on Linux distributions
that use SELinux.
This commit adds support for symlink xattrs when backing up data,
restoring data, and mounting snapshots via a fuse mount. All calls to
the xattr library have been updated to the use `L` variants of the
various functions, which always operate on the path given, without
following symlinks.

Conceptually the backend configuration should be validated when creating
or opening the backend, but not when filling in information from
environment variables into the configuration.
The snapshot filtering internally converts relative paths to absolute
ones to ensure that the parent snapshots selection works for backups of
relative paths.
Tests in cmd_forget_test.go need the same convenience function
that was implemented in snapshot_policy_test.go.
Function parseDuration(...) was moved to testing.go and renamed to
ParseDurationOrPanic(...).
This turns snapshotFilterOptions from cmd into a restic.SnapshotFilter
type and makes restic.FindFilteredSnapshot and FindFilteredSnapshots
methods on that type. This fixes#4211 by ensuring that hosts and paths
are named struct fields instead of unnamed function arguments in long
lists of such.
Timestamp limits are also included in the new type. To avoid too much
pointer handling, the convention is that time zero means no limit.
That's January 1st, year 1, 00:00 UTC, which is so unlikely a date that
we can sacrifice it for simpler code.
This method had a buffer argument, but that was nil at all call sites.
That's removed, and instead LoadUnpacked now reuses whatever it
allocates inside its retry loop.
With debug logging enabled this method would take a lock and then
format the lock as a string. Since PR #4022 landed the string
formatting method has also taken the lock, so this deadlocks.
Instead just record the lock ID, as is done elsewhere.
The retry printed the filename twice:
```
Load(<lock/04804cba82>, 0, 0) returned error, retrying after 720.254544ms: load(<lock/04804cba82>): invalid data returned
```
now the warning has changed to
```
Load(<lock/04804cba82>, 0, 0) returned error, retrying after 720.254544ms: invalid data returned
```
Mostly changed the ones that repeat the name of a system call, which is
already contained in os.PathError.Op. internal/fs.Reader had to be
changed to actually return such errors.
TestRepository and its variants always returned no-op cleanup functions.
If they ever do need to do cleanup, using testing.T.Cleanup is easier
than passing these functions around.
IDs.Less can be rewritten as
string(list[i][:]) < string(list[j][:])
Note that this does not copy the ID's.
The Uniq method was no longer used.
The String method has been reimplemented without first copying into a
separate slice of a custom type.
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.
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.
The lock test creates a lock and checks that it is not stale. However,
it is possible that the lock is refreshed concurrently, which updates
the lock timestamp. Checking the timestamp in `Stale()` without
synchronization results in a data race. Thus add a lock to prevent
concurrent accesses.
The lock test creates a lock and checks that it is not stale. This also
tests whether the corresponding process still exists. However, it is
possible that the lock is refreshed concurrently, which updates the lock
timestamp. Calling `processExists()` with a value receiver, however,
creates an unsynchronized copy of this field. Thus call the method using
a pointer receiver.
We always need both values, except in a test, so we don't need to lock
twice and risk scheduling in between.
Also, removed the resetting in Done. This copied a mutex, which isn't
allowed. Static analyzers tend to trip over that.
As long as only a small fraction of the data in a repository is
rewritten, the keepBlobs set will be rather small after cleaning it up.
As golang maps do not shrink their memory usage, just copy the contents
over to a new map. However, only copy the map if the cleanup removed at
least half the entries.
The set covers necessary, existing and duplicate blobs. This removes the
duplicate sets used to track whether all necessary blobs also exist.
This reduces the memory usage of prune by about 20-30%.
The string form was presumably useful before the introduction of
layouts, but right now it just makes call sequences and garbage
collection more expensive (the latter because every string contains
a pointer to be scanned).
if x { return true } return false => return x
fmt.Sprintf("%v", x) => fmt.Sprint(x) or x.String()
The fmt.Sprintf idiom is still used in the SecretString tests, where it
serves security hardening.
ID.UnmarshalJSON accepted non-JSON input with ' as the string delimiter.
Also, the error message for non-hex input was less informative than it
could be and it performed too many checks.
Changed ParseID to keep the error messages consistent.
FindFilteredSnapshots no longer prints errors during snapshot loading on
stderr, but instead passes the error to the callback to allow the caller
to decide on what to do.
In addition, it moves the logic to handle an explicit snapshot list from
the main package to restic.
The helper function uidGidInt used strconv.ParseInt instead of
ParseUint, so it silently ignored some invalid user/group IDs.
Also, improve the error message. "Invalid UID" is more informative than
having "ParseInt" twice (*strconv.NumError displays the function name).
Finally, the user.User struct can be passed by pointer to get reduce
code size.
The backup command failed if a directory contains duplicate entries.
Downgrade the severity of this problem from fatal error to a warning.
This allows users to still create a backup.
SaveTree did not use the TreeSaver but rather managed the tree
collection and upload itself. This prevents using the parallelism
offered by the TreeSaver and duplicates all related code. Using the
TreeSaver can provide some speed-ups as all steps within the backup tree
now rely on FutureNodes. This can be especially relevant for backups
with large amounts of explicitly specified files.
The main difference between SaveTree and SaveDir is, that only the
former can save tree blobs in which nodes have a different name than the
actual file on disk. This is the result of resolving name conflicts
between multiple files with the same name. The filename that must be
used within the snapshot is now passed directly to
restic.NodeFromFileInfo. This ensures that a FutureNode already contains
the correct filename.
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.
While searching for lock file from concurrently running restic
instances, restic ignored unreadable lock files. These can either be
in fact invalid or just be temporarily unreadable. As it is not really
possible to differentiate between both cases, just err on the side of
caution and consider the repository as already locked.
The code retries searching for other locks up to three times to smooth
out temporarily unreadable lock files.
Restic continued e.g. a backup task even when it failed to renew the
lock or failed to do so in time. For example if a backup client enters
standby during the backup this can allow other operations like `prune`
to run in the meantime (after calling `unlock`). After leaving standby
the backup client will continue its backup and upload indexes which
refer pack files that were removed in the meantime.
This commit introduces a goroutine explicitly monitoring for locks that
are not refreshed in time. To simplify the implementation there's now a
separate goroutine to refresh the lock and monitor for timeouts for each
lock. The monitoring goroutine would now cause the backup to fail as the
client has lost it's lock in the meantime.
The lock refresh goroutines are bound to the context used to lock the
repository initially. The context returned by `lockRepo` is also
cancelled when any of the goroutines exits. This ensures that the
context is cancelled whenever for any reason the lock is no longer
refreshed.
Some backends generate additional files for each existing file, e.g.
1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef
1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef.sha256
For some commands this leads to an "multiple IDs with prefix" error when
trying to reference a snapshot.
`restic unlock` now only shows `successfully removed locks` if there were locks to be removed.
In addition, it also reports the number of the removed lock files.
Sending data through a channel at very high frequency is extremely
inefficient. Thus use simple callbacks instead of channels.
