If we decide to recalculate the metadata we shouldn't start from
whatever we loaded from the database, as that data is wrong. We should
start from a clean slate.
I was working on indirecting version vectors, and that resulted in some
refactoring and improving the existing block indirection stuff. We may
or may not end up doing the version vector indirection, but I think
these changes are reasonable anyhow and will simplify the diff
significantly if we do go there. The main points are:
- A bunch of renaming to make the indirection and GC not about "blocks"
but about "indirection".
- Adding a cutoff so that we don't actually indirect for small block
lists. This gets us better performance when handling small files as it
cuts out the indirection for quite small loss in space efficiency.
- Being paranoid and always recalculating the hash on put. This costs
some CPU, but the consequences if a buggy or malicious implementation
silently substituted the block list by lying about the hash would be bad.
One of the causes of "panic: database is closed" is that we try to send
summaries after it's been closed. Calculating summaries can take a long
time and if we have a lot of folders it's not unreasonable to think
that we might be stopped in this loop, so prepare to bail here.

During NAT discovery we block for 10s (NatTimeoutS) before returning.
This is mostly noticeable when Ctrl-C:ing a Syncthing directly after
startup as we wait for those ten seconds before shutting down. This
makes it check the context a little bit more frequently.
This adds metadata updates to the same write batch as the underlying
file change. The odds of a metadata update going missing is greatly
reduced.
Bonus change: actually commit the transaction in recalcMeta.
lib/db: Recover sequence number and metadata on startup (fixes#6335)
If we crashed after writing new file entries but before updating
metadata in the database the sequence number and metadata will be wrong.
This fixes that.
We could potentially get a snapshot and then fail to get a releaser,
leaking the snapshot. This takes the releaser first and makes sure to
release it on snapshot error.
The readWriteTransaction offered both commit() (the one to use) and
Commit() (via embedding) where the latter didn't close the read
transaction. This removes the lower cased variant in order to prevent
the mistake.
The only place where the mistake was made was the new gc runner, where
it would leave a read snapshot open forever.
During some other work I discovered these tests weren't great, so I've
rewritten them to be a little better. The real changes here are:
- Don't play games with not starting the folder and such, and don't
construct a fake folder instance -- just use the one the model has. The
folder starts and scans but the folder contents are empty at this point
so that's fine.
- Use a fakefs instead of a temp dir.
- To support the above, implement a fakefs option `?content=true` to
make the fakefs actually retain written content. Use sparingly,
obviously, but it means the fakefs can usually be used instead of an
on disk real directory.
This adds a new config with the simple and concise name
maxConcurrentIncomingRequestKiB. This limits how many bytes we have "in
the air" in the form of response data being read and processed.
After some testing I think that not having this limiter is seldom a
great idea and thus I propose a default value of 256 MiB for this new
setting.
I also refactored the folder IO limiter to be a model/folder attribute
instead of a package global.
Adds a new folder state "Waiting to Sync" in the same vein as the
existing "Waiting to Scan". This vastly improves performances in the
rare cases when there are lots and lots of folders operating.
Also retain the interval over restarts by storing last GC time in the
database. This to make sure that GC eventually happens even if the
interval is configured to a long time (say, a month).
* lib/db: Deduplicate block lists in database (fixes#5898)
This moves the block list in the database out from being just a field on
the FileInfo to being an object of its own. When putting a FileInfo we
marshal the block list separately and store it keyed by the sha256 of
the marshalled block list. When getting, if we are not doing a
"truncated" get, we do an extra read and unmarshal for the block list.
Old block lists are cleared out by a periodic GC sweep. The alternative
would be to use refcounting, but:
- There is a larger risk of getting that wrong and either dropping a
block list in error or keeping them around forever.
- It's tricky with our current database, as we don't have dirty reads.
This means that if we update two FileInfos with identical block lists in
the same transaction we can't just do read/modify/write for the ref
counters as we wouldn't see our own first update. See above about
tracking this and risks about getting it wrong.
GC uses a bloom filter for keys to avoid heavy RAM usage. GC can't run
concurrently with FileInfo updates so there is a new lock around those
operation at the lowlevel.
The end result is a much more compact database, especially for setups
with many peers where files get duplicated many times.
This is per-key-class stats for a large database I'm currently working
with, under the current schema:

Class 00 is now down to 2.6 GB, with just 61 MB added in class 0d.
There will be some additional reads in some cases which theoretically
hurts performance, but this will be more than compensated for by smaller
writes and better compaction.
On my own home setup which just has three devices and a handful of
folders the difference is smaller in absolute numbers of course, but
still less than half the old size:

* lib/db, lib/protocol: Compact FileInfo and BlockInfo alignment
This fixes the following two lint warnings
FileInfo: struct of size 160 bytes could be of size 136 bytes
BlockInfo: struct of size 48 bytes could be of size 40 bytes
by reordering fields in alignment order (64 bit fields, then 32 bit
fields, then 16 bit fields (if any), then small ones). The end result is
a slightly less aesthetically pleasing struct field order, but since
these are the objects we often juggle in bulk and keep large queues of I
think it's worth it.
It's a micro optimization, but a cheap one.
This adds error returns to model methods called by the protocol layer.
Returning an error will cause the connection to be torn down as the
message couldn't be handled. Using this to signal that a folder isn't
currently available will then cause a reconnection a few moments later,
when it'll hopefully work better.
Tested manually by running with STRECHECKDBEVERY=0 on a nontrivially
sized setup. This panics reliably before this patch, but just causes a
disconnect/reconnect now.
As foretold by the prophecy, "once the database refactor is merged, then
shall appear a request to propagate errors from the store known
throughout the land as the NamedspacedKV, and it shall be good".
This PR does two things, because one lead to the other:
- Move the leveldb specific stuff into a small "backend" package that
defines a backend interface and the leveldb implementation. This allows,
potentially, in the future, switching the db implementation so another
KV store should we wish to do so.
- Add proper error handling all along the way. The db and backend
packages are now errcheck clean. However, I drew the line at modifying
the FileSet API in order to keep this manageable and not continue
refactoring all of the rest of Syncthing. As such, the FileSet methods
still panic on database errors, except for the "database is closed"
error which is instead handled by silently returning as quickly as
possible, with the assumption that we're anyway "on the way out".
* lib/versioner: Reduce surface area
This is a refactor while I was anyway rooting around in the versioner.
Instead of exporting every possible implementation and the factory and
letting the caller do whatever, this now encapsulates all that and
exposes a New() that takes a config.VersioningConfiguration.
Given that and that we don't know (from the outside) how a versioner
works or what state it keeps, we now just construct it once per folder
and keep it around. Previously it was recreated for each restore
request.

We incorrectly gave a too small buffer to lz4.Compress, causing it to
allocate in some cases (when the data actually becomes larger when
compressed). This then panicked when passed to the buffer pool.
This ensures a buffer that is large enough, and adds tripwires closer to
the source in case this ever pops up again. There is a test that
exercises the issue.

There was a logic error in Put() which made us put all large blocks into
segment zero, where we subsequently did not look for them.
I also added a lowest threshold, as we otherwise allocate a 128KiB
buffer when we need 24 bytes for a header and such.

This adds a certificate lifetime parameter to our certificate generation
and hard codes it to twenty years in some uninteresting places. In the
main binary there are a couple of constants but it results in twenty
years for the device certificate and 820 days for the HTTPS one. 820 is
less than the 825 maximum Apple allows nowadays.
This also means we must be prepared for certificates to expire, so I add
some handling for that and generate a new certificate when needed. For
self signed certificates we regenerate a month ahead of time. For other
certificates we leave well enough alone.
The relay and discosrv didn't use the new lib/build package, now they
do. Conversely the lib/build package wasn't aware there might be other
users and hard coded the program name - now it's set by the build
script
This adds a field `guiAddressUsed` to the system status response, that
holds the current listening address actually in use. This may be
different from the one stored in the config because it may have been
overridden by environment or command line flag.
The GUI now checks this field to see if we are listening on localhost.
If we are not, the authentication required warning is displayed,
regardless of the *configured* listening address.
This is an experiment in testing, based on the advise to always call
t.Parallel() at the start of every test. Doing so makes tests run in
parallel, which is usually faster, but also exposes package level state
and potential race conditions better.
To support this I had to redesign the CSRF manager to not be package
global, which was indeed an improvement. And tests run five times faster
now.
This splits large writes into smaller ones when using a rate limit,
making them into a legitimate trickle rather than large bursts with a
long time in between.
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
Assume a folder error was set due to bad ignores on the latest scan.
Previously, doing a manual rescan would result in:
1. Clearing the folder error, which schedules (immediately) an fs
watcher restart
2. Attempting to load the ignores, which fails, so we set a folder
error and bail.
3. Now the fs watcher restarts, as scheduled, so we trigger a scan.
Goto 1.
This change fixes this by not clearing the error until the error is
actually cleared, that is, if both the health check and ignore loading
succeeds.
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.
NATSymmetricUDPFirewall actually is not NAT at all, but means the machine has a global IP address and an UDP firewall in front (RFC calls it Symmetric UDP Firewall). This is punchable fine, both theoretically and also practically in testing.
* lib/model: Don't panic on failed chmod-back on directory (fixes#5836)
This makes the "in writable dir"-wrapper log chmod-back errors instead
of panicking. To do that we need a logger so the function moved into the
model package which is also the only place it's used. The tests came
along.
(The test also exercised osutil.RenameOrCopy like some sort of
piggybacking. I removed that.)
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.

All atomic accesses of 64-bit variables in syncthing code base are
currently ok (i.e they are all 64-bit aligned).
Generally, the bug is triggered because of incorrect alignement
of struct fields. Free variables (declared in a function) are
guaranteed to be 64-bit aligned by the Go compiler.
To ensure the code remains correct upon further addition/removal
of fields, which would change the currently correct alignment, I
added the following comment where required:
// atomic, must remain 64-bit aligned
