Now getKeysPresent checks that the key's content, not only its directory,
exists. In direct mode, the inode cache file is used as a standin for the
content.
removeAnnex always removes the inode cache file, and drop and move --from
always call removeAnnex, even if the object does not seem to be inAnnex,
to ensure it's always deleted.
This reverts commit 57780cb3a4.
This was buggy, it caused the direct mode cache to be lost when dropping
keys, so when the file is gotten back, it's stored in indirect mode.
Note to self: Do not attempt bug fixes at 6 am!
In indirect mode, now checks the inode cache to detect changes to a file.
Note that a file can still be changed if a process has it open for write,
after landing in the annex.
In direct mode, some checking of the inode cache was done before, but
from a much later point, so fewer modifications could be detected. Now it's
as good as indirect mode.
On crippled filesystems, no lock down is done before starting to add a
file, so checking the inode cache is the only protection we have.
git annex init probes for crippled filesystems, and sets direct mode, as
well as `annex.crippledfilesystem`.
Avoid manipulating permissions of files on crippled filesystems.
That would likely cause an exception to be thrown.
Very basic support in Command.Add for cripped filesystems; avoids the lock
down entirely since doing it needs both permissions and hard links.
Will make this better soon.
Various things that don't work on Android are just ifdefed out.
* the webapp (needs template haskell for arm)
* --include and --exclude globbing (needs libpcre, which is not ported;
probably I'll make it use the pure haskell glob library instead)
* annex.diskreserve checking (missing sys/statvfs.h)
* timestamp preservation support (yawn)
* S3
* WebDAV
* XMPP
The resulting 17mb binary has been tested on Android, and it is able to,
at least, print its usage message.
These files were left behind, and made getKeysPresent find keys that were
not present. It would be expensive to make getKeysPresent check that the
actual key files are present (it just lists the directories). But that's not
needed if we just clean up the stale cache and mapping files.
To handle systems that were in direct mode and got switched back with stale
direct mode files, made cleanObjectLoc remove all files in the key's directory.
git annex unused will still list keys that are gone but for which the stale
direct mode files exists. To deal with that, made dropunused remove the key's
directory even if the key does not seem to be present.
Making the pre-commit hook look at git diff-index to find changed direct
mode files and update the mappings works pretty well.
One case where it does not work is when a file is git annex added, and then
git rmed, and then this is committed. That's a no-op commit, so the hook
probably doesn't even run, and it certianly never notices that the file
was deleted, so the mapping will still have the original filename in it.
For this and other reasons, it's important that the mappings still be
treated as possibly inconsistent.
Also, the assistant now allows the pre-commit hook to run when in direct
mode, so the mappings also get updated there.
It used to not log to daemon.log when a repository was first created, and
when starting the webapp. Now both do. Redirecting stdout and stderr to the
log is tricky when starting the webapp, because the web browser may want to
communicate with the user. (Either a console web browser, or web.browser = echo)
This is handled by restoring the original fds when running the browser.
An earlier commit (mislabeled) made direct mode fsck check file checksums.
While it's expected for files to change at any time in direct mode, and so
fsck cannot complain every time there's a checksum mismatch, it is possible
for it to detect when a file does not *seem* to have changed, then check
its checksum, and so detect disk corruption or other problems.
This commit improves that, by checking a second time, if the checksum
fails, that the file is still not modified, before taking action. This way,
a direct mode file can be modified while being fscked.
Now there's a Config type, that's extracted from the git config at startup.
Note that laziness means that individual config values are only looked up
and parsed on demand, and so we get implicit memoization for all of them.
So this is not only prettier and more type safe, it optimises several
places that didn't have explicit memoization before. As well as getting rid
of the ugly explicit memoization code.
Not yet done for annex.<remote>.* configuration settings.
This avoids some small overhead by only running the check once per command;
it also ensures that, even if the command doesn't find anything to run on,
it still fails to run when in a bare repo.
* Bugfix: Remove leading \ from checksums output by sha*sum commands,
when the filename contains \ or a newline. Closes: #696384
* fsck: Still accept checksums with a leading \ as valid, now that
above bug is fixed.
* migrate: Remove leading \ in checksums
However, I don't yet have a reliable way to deal with files being modified
while they're being transferred. I have code that detects it on the sending
side, but the receiver is still free to move the wrong content into its
annex, and record that it has the content. So that's not acceptable, and
I'll need to work on it some more.
However, at this point I can use a direct mode repository as a remote and
transfer files from and to it.
* get/copy --auto: Transfer data even if it would exceed numcopies,
when preferred content settings want it.
* drop --auto: Fix dropping content when there are no preferred content
settings.
Files are now written to a tmp directory in the remote, and once all
chunks are written, etc, it's moved into the final place atomically.
For now, checkpresent still checks every single chunk of a file, because
the old method could leave partially transferred files with some chunks
present and others not.
Inject the required git-remote-xmpp into PATH when running xmpp git push.
Rest of the time it will not be in PATH, and git won't be able to talk to
xmpp remotes.
I now have this topology working:
assistant ---> {bare repo, special remote} <--- assistant
And, I think, also this one:
+----------- bare repo --------+
v v
assistant ---> special remote <--- assistant
While before with assistant <---> assistant connections, both sides got
location info updated after a transfer, in this topology, the bare repo
*might* get its location info updated, but the other assistant has no way to
know that it did. And a special remote doesn't record location info,
so transfers to it won't propigate out location log changes at all.
So, for these to work, after a transfer succeeds, the git-annex branch
needs to be pushed. This is done by recording a synthetic commit has
occurred, which lets the pusher handle pushing out the change (which will
include actually committing any still journalled changes to the git-annex
branch).
Of course, this means rather a lot more syncing action than happened
before. At least the pusher bundles together very close together pushes,
somewhat. Currently it just waits 2 seconds between each push.
I had been using -ignore-package monads-tf to deal with this, but
the XMPP library uses monads-tf, so that also ignores it. Instead,
use PackageImports to force use of mtl in my own code.
This was complicated quite a bit by needing to check numcopies. I optimised
that, so it only looks up numcopies once per file, no matter how many
remotes it checks to drop from. Although it did just occur to me that
it might be better to first check if it wants to drop content, and only
then check numcopies..
When rsyncProgress pipes rsync's stdout, this turns out to cause a ssh
process started by rsync to be left behind as a zombie. I don't know why,
but my recent zombie reaping cleanup was correct, it's just that this other
zombie, that's not directly started by git-annex, was no longer reaped
due to changes in the cleanup. Make rsyncProgress reap the zombie started
by rsync, as a workaround.
FWIW, the process tree looks like this. It seems like the rsync child
is for some reason starting but not waiting on this extra ssh process.
Ssh connection caching may be involved -- disabling it seemed to change
the shape of the tree, but did not eliminate the zombie.
9378 pts/14 S+ 0:00 | \_ rsync -p --progress --inplace -4 -e 'ssh' '-S' ...
9379 pts/14 S+ 0:00 | | \_ ssh ...
9380 pts/14 S+ 0:00 | | \_ rsync -p --progress --inplace -4 -e 'ssh' '-S' ...
9381 pts/14 Z+ 0:00 | \_ [ssh] <defunct>
If the autostart file lists a repository, for which a directory exists,
but there's not actually a valid git repo in there, the web app used to
try to use it, and see it wasn't valid, and then try to autostart again.
The ensuing runaway loop also ate memory, although not as fast as I was led
to belive was happening to someone on IRC yesterday. So that guy may have
had a different problem. But this seems otherwise a reasonable fit for the
circumstances described, if git-annex was started before something that
occurred during desktop login that made the repository available.
Both when queueing downloads, and uploads, consults the preferred content
settings.
I didn't make it check yet when requeing failed transfers or queuing
deferred downloads; dealing with the preferred content settings (or indeed,
other settings) changing while the assistant is running still needs work.
I'm down to 9 places in the code that can produce unwaited for zombies.
Most of these are pretty innocuous, at least for now, are only
used in short-running commands, or commands that run a set of
actions and explicitly reap zombies after each one.
The one from Annex.Branch.files could be trouble later,
since both Command.Fsck and Command.Unused can trigger it,
and the assistant will be doing those eventally. Ditto the one in
Git.LsTree.lsTree, which Command.Unused uses.
The only ones currently affecting the assistant though, are
in Git.LsFiles. Several threads use several of those.
(And yeah, using pipes or ResourceT would be a less ad-hoc approach,
but I don't really feel like ripping my entire code base apart right
now to change a foundation monad. Maybe one of these days..)
Nearly everything that's reading from git is operating on a small
amount of output and has been switched to use that. Only pipeNullSplit
stuff continues using the lazy version that yields zombies.
This includes a full parser for the boolean expressions in the log,
that compiles them into Matchers. Those matchers are not used yet.
A complication is that matching against an expression should never
crash git-annex with an error. Instead, vicfg checks that the expressions
parse. If a bad expression (or an expression understood by some future
git-annex version) gets into the log, it'll be ignored.
Most of the code in Limit couldn't fail anyway, but I did have to make
limitCopies check its parameter first, and return an error if it's bad,
rather than erroring at runtime.
One note: Deleted lines are not currently parsed as config changes.
That makes sense for trust settings. It may make sense to support deleted
lines as a way to clear group settings.
Incomplete; I need to finish parsing and saving. This will also be used
for editing transfer control expresssions.
Removed the group display from the status output, I didn't really
like that format, and vicfg can be used to see as well as edit rempository
group membership.
Simplified it using existing functions.
I doubt setSticky needs to return the FileMode; if it does for some
reason, it can be changed to use modifyFileMode'
Converted isSticky to a pure function for consistency with isSymlink.
Note that the sticky bit of a file can be tested thus:
isSticky . fileMode <$> getFileStatus file
Fix resuming of downloads, which do not have a transfer info file to read.
When checking upload progress, use the MVar, rather than re-reading
the info file.
Catch exceptions in the transfer action. Required a tryAnnex.
When a transfer fails, the progress info can be used to intelligently
retry it. If the transfer managed to make some progress, but did not
fully complete, then there's a good chance that a retry will finish it
(or at least make more progress).
Transfer info files are updated when the callback is called, updating
the number of bytes transferred.
Left unused p variables at every place the callback should be used.
Which is rather a lot..
Don't expose these as branches in refs/heads/. Instead hide them away in
refs/synced/ where only show-ref will find them.
Make unused only look at branches and tags, not these other things,
so it won't care if some stale sync ref used to use a file.
This means they don't need to be deleted, which could have
led to an incoming sync being missed.
This fixes a problem I was seeing in the assistant where two remotes would
attempt to sync with one another at the same time, and both failed pushing
the diverged git-annex branch. Then when both tried to resolve the failed
push, they each modified their git-annex branch, which again each blocked
the other from pushing into it. The result was that the git-annex
branches were perpetually diverged (despite having the same content!) and
once the assistant fell into this trap, it couldn't get out and always
had to do the slow push/fail/pull/merge/push/fail cycle.
They work fine. But I had to go to a lot of trouble to get Yesod to render
routes in a pure function. It may instead make more sense to have each
alert have an assocated IO action, and a single route that runs the IO
action of a given alert id. I just wish I'd realized that before the past
several hours of struggling with something Yesod really doesn't want to
allow.
Used by the assistant, rather than copy, this is faster because it avoids
using git ls-files, avoids checking the location log redundantly, and
runs in oneshot mode, avoiding making a commit to the git-annex branch
for every file transferred.
Found a very cheap way to determine when a disconnected remote has
diverged, and has new content that needs to be transferred: Piggyback on
the git-annex branch update, which already checks for divergence.
However, this does not check if new content has appeared locally while
disconnected, that should be transferred to the remote.
Also, this does not handle cases where the two git repos are in sync,
but their content syncing has not caught up yet.
This code could have its efficiency improved:
* When multiple remotes are synced, if any one has diverged, they're
all queued for transfer scans.
* The transfer scanner could be told whether the remote has new content,
the local repo has new content, or both, and could optimise its scan
accordingly.
This commit includes a paydown on technical debt incurred two years ago,
when I didn't know that it was bad to make custom Read and Show instances
for types. As the routes need Read and Show for Transfer, which includes a
Key, and deriving my own Read instance of key was not practical,
I had to finally clean that up.
So the compact Key read and show functions are now file2key and key2file,
and Read and Show are now derived instances.
Changed all code that used the old instances, compiler checked.
(There were a few places, particularly in Command.Unused, and the test
suite where the Show instance continue to be used for legitimate
comparisons; ie show key_x == show key_y (though really in a bloom filter))
