gmail.com has some XMPP SRV records, but does not itself respond to XMPP
traffic, although it does accept connections on port 5222. So if a user
entered the wrong password, it would try all the SRVs and fall back to
trying gmail, and hang at that point.
This seems the right thing to do, not just a workaround.
I hope this will be easier to reason about, and less buggy. It was
certianly easier to write!
An immediate benefit is that with a traversable queue of push requests to
select from, the threads can be a lot fairer about choosing which client to
service next.
This will avoid losing any messages received from 1 client when a push
involving another client is running.
Additionally, the handling of push initiation is improved,
it's no longer allowed to run multiples of the same type of push to
the same client.
Still stalls sometimes :(
Observed: With 2 xmpp clients, one would sometimes stop responding
to CanPush messages. Often it was in the middle of a receive-pack
of its own (or was waiting for a failed one to time out).
Now these are always immediately responded to, which is fine; the point
of CanPush is to find out if there's another client out there that's
interested in our push.
Also, in queueNetPushMessage, queue push initiation messages when
we're already running the side of the push they would initiate.
Before, these messages were sent into the netMessagesPush channel,
which was wrong. The xmpp send-pack and receive-pack code discarded
such messages.
This still doesn't make XMPP push 100% robust. In testing, I am seeing
it sometimes try to run two send-packs, or two receive-packs at once
to the same client (probably because the client sent two requests).
Also, I'm seeing rather a lot of cases where it stalls out until it
runs into the 120 second timeout and cancels a push.
And finally, there seems to be a bug in runPush. I have logs that
show it running its setup action, but never its cleanup action.
How is this possible given its use of E.bracket? Either some exception
is finding its way through, or the action somehow stalls forever.
When this happens, one of the 2 clients stops syncing.
(Except for the actual streaming of receive-pack through XMPP, which
can only run once we've gotten an appropriate uuid in a push initiation
message.)
Pushes are now only initiated when the initiation message comes from a
known uuid. This allows multiple distinct repositories to use the same xmpp
address.
Note: This probably breaks initial push after xmpp pairing, because at that
point we may not know about the paired uuid, and so reject the push from
it. It won't break in simple cases, because the annex-uuid of the remote
is checked. However, when there are multiple clients behind a single xmpp
address, only uuid of the first is recorded in annex-uuid, and so any
pushes from the others will be rejected (unless the first remote pushes their
uuids to us beforehand.
This fixes the issue mentioned in the last commit.
Turns out just collecting UUID of clients behind a XMPP remote is
insufficient (although I should probably still do it for other reasons),
because a single remote repo might be connected via both XMPP and local
pairing. So a way is needed to know when a push was received from any
client using a given XMPP remote over XMPP, as opposed to via ssh.
Make manualPull send push requests over XMPP.
When reconnecting with remotes, those that are XMPP remotes cannot
immediately be pulled from and scanned, so instead maintain a set of
(probably) desynced remotes, and put XMPP remotes on it. (This set could be
used in other ways later, if we can detect we're out of sync with other
types of remotes.)
The merger handles detecting when a XMPP push is received from a desynced
remote, and triggers a scan then, if they have in fact diverged.
This has one known bug: A single XMPP remote can have multiple clients
behind it. When this happens, only the UUID of one client is recorded
as the UUID of the XMPP remote. Pushes from the other XMPP clients will not
trigger a scan. If the client whose UUID is expected responds to the push
request, it'll work, but when that client is offline, we're SOL.
This is so gratutious and pointless. It's a shame that everything we
learned about Unix portability and the importance of standards has been
thrown out the window by these guys.
Noticed that when pairing, sometimes both sides start to push, and the other
side sends a PushRequest, and the two deadlock, neither doing anything.
(Timeout eventually breaks this.) So, let both run at the same time.
I decided to use the fallback push mode from the beginning for XMPP, since
while it uses some ugly branches, it avoids the possibility of a normal
push failing, and needing to pull and re-push. Due to the overhead of XMPP,
and the difficulty of building such a chain of actions due to the async
implementation, this seemed reasonable.
It seems to work great!
XMPP has no defined message size limits, but some servers will have ad-hoc
limits. However, 4k seems safe, even after the additional bloat of base64.
That should not exceed 8k.
