I'm working through linter complaints, these are some fixes. Broad
categories:
1) Ignore errors where we can ignore errors: add "_ = ..." construct.
you can argue that this is annoying noise, but apart from silencing the
linter it *does* serve the purpose of highlighting that an error is
being ignored. I think this is OK, because the linter highlighted some
error cases I wasn't aware of (starting CPU profiles, for example).
2) Untyped constants where we though we had set the type.
3) A real bug where we ineffectually assigned to a shadowed err.
4) Some dead code removed.
There'll be more of these, because not all packages are fixed, but the
diff was already large enough.
This adds a folder option "CopyOwnershipFromParent" which, when set,
makes Syncthing attempt to retain the owner/group information when
syncing files. Specifically, at the finisher stage we look at the parent
dir to get owner/group and then attempt a Lchown call on the temp file.
For this to succeed Syncthing must be running with the appropriate
permissions. On Linux this is CAP_FOWNER, which can be granted by the
service manager on startup or set on the binary in the filesystem. Other
operating systems do other things, but often it's not required to run as
full "root". On Windows this patch does nothing - ownership works
differently there and is generally less of a deal, as permissions are
inherited as ACLs anyway.
There are unit tests on the Lchown functionality, which requires the
above permissions to run. There is also a unit test on the folder which
uses the fake filesystem and hence does not need special permissions.
* lib/fs, lib/model: Improve filesystem operations during tests (fixes#5422)
Introduces MustFilesystem that panics on errors and should be used for operations
during testing which must never fail.
Create temporary directories outside of testdata.
* don't do a filesystem, just a wrapper around os for testing
* fix copyright
This avoids waiting until next ping and timeout until the connection is actually
closed both by notifying the peer of the disconnect and by immediately closing
the local end of the connection after that. As a nice side effect, info level
logging about dropped connections now have the actual reason in it, not a generic
timeout error which looks like a real problem with the connection.
In a recent change (#5201) this return disappeared. The effect is that
we first shortcut the file and then also treat it normally. This results
in to database updates after each other, which are bound to end up in
the same batch. This means we remove one sequence entry and add two.
Not marking the issues as fixed, because I need to do more testing and
there are other discrepancies...
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.)
* lib/model, cmd/syncthing: Wait for folder restarts to complete (fixes#5233)
This is the somewhat ugly - but on the other hand clear - fix for what
is really a somewhat thorny issue. To avoid zombie folder runners a new
mutex is introduced that protects the RestartFolder operation. I hate
adding more mutexes but the alternatives I can think of are worse.
The other part of it is that the POST /rest/system/config operation now
waits for the config commit to complete. The point of this is that until
the commit has completed we should not accept another config commit. If
we did, we could end up with two separate RestartFolders queued in the
background. While they are both correct, and will run without
interfering with each other, we can't guarantee the order in which they
will run. Thus it could happen that the newer config got committed
first, and the older config commited after that, leaving us with the
wrong config running.

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...
