This is implemented by checking for a backup lock on the host where info is running so there are a few limitations:
* It is not currently possible to know which command is running: backup, expire, or stanza-*. The stanza commands are very unlikely to be running so it's pretty safe to guess backup/expire. Command information may be added to the lock file to improve the accuracy of the reported command.
* If the info command is run on a host that is not participating in the backup, e.g. a standby, then there will be no backup lock. This seems like a minor limitation since running info on the repo or primary host is preferred.
Make the restore clean process look more like manifest build, i.e. do cleanup of each target root directory outside the main cleanup callback. This means some code duplication but removes the logic handling "dot" paths.
Add tests for both restore and backup (which already worked but was not tested).
sk_GENERAL_NAME_free() only freed the name stack, not the names in the stack. sk_GENERAL_NAME_pop_free() frees both.
Due to aggressive connection reuse this leak was unlikely to be very noticeable.
Bug Fixes:
* Remove empty subexpression from manifest regular expression. MacOS was not happy about this though other platforms seemed to work fine. (Fixed by David Raftis.)
Improvements:
* Non-blocking TLS implementation. (Reviewed by Slava Moudry, Cynthia Shang, Stephen Frost.)
* Only limit backup copy size for WAL-logged files. The prior behavior could possibly lead to postgresql.conf or postgresql.auto.conf being truncated in the backup. (Reviewed by Cynthia Shang.)
* TCP keep-alive options are configurable. (Suggested by Marc Cousin.)
* Add io-timeout option.
The documentation recommends clearing the error queue before each SSL_*() call.
Since we always check the results of SSL_*() for errors instead of blindly calling SSL_get_error() it's not clear this makes any difference, but it still seems like a good idea to be sure there are no stray errors in the queue.
Timeout used for connections and read/write operations.
Note that the entire read/write operation does not need to complete within this timeout but some progress must be made, even if it is only a single byte.
The prior blocking implementation seemed to be prone to locking up on some (especially recent) kernel versions. Since we were unable to reproduce the issue in a development environment we can only speculate as to the cause, but there is a good chance that blocking sockets were the issue or contributed to the issue.
So move to a non-blocking implementation to hopefully clear up these issues. Testing in production environments that were prone to locking shows that the approach is promising and at the very least not a regression.
The main differences from the blocking version are the non-blocking connect() implementation and handling of WANT_READ/WANT_WRITE retries for all SSL*() functions.
Timeouts in the tests needed to be increased because socket connect() and TLS SSL_connect() were not included in the timeout before. The tests don't run any slower, though. In fact, all platforms but Ubuntu 12.04 worked fine with the shorter timeouts.
select() is a bit old-fashioned and cumbersome to use. Since the select() code needed to be modified to handle write ready this seems like a good time to upgrade to poll().
poll() has been around for a long time so there doesn't seem to be any need to provide a fallback to select().
Also change the error on timeout from FileReadError to ProtocolError. This works better for read vs. write and failure to poll() is indicative of a protocol error or unexpected EOF.
The prior behavior introduced in dcddf3a5 could possibly lead to postgresql.conf or postgresql.auto.conf being truncated in the backup since they are copied via tmp files and could change size during the backup.
In general it seems safer to limit this feature to WAL-logged files which will be reconstructed during recovery.
Building on these platforms gives us better coverage for our build code. Cirrus CI was chosen because it is the only service that supports FreeBSD (that we could find).
The FreedBSD configuration for Vagrant is currently just enough to perform a build.
The MacOS configuration is not actually for Vagrant (yet) but does show the steps needed to setup the build environment on MacOS.
This allows us to add new configurations mostly without changing the behavior of vagrant from the command line, i.e. vagrant up and vagrant ssh will continue to bring up the default configuration.
However, vagrant destroy -f will remove all configurations. That's really only a change in behavior if more than one configuration is running, which is not currently possible.
It looks like Linux is tolerant of the BSD headers so remove the conditionals.
Eventually it might be a good idea to include these based on configure rules but that seems over overkill for now.
Github classifies many C header files as C++, perhaps because they don't contain anything definitively C-like.
Add an override to ensure .h files are always classified as C since this project contains no C++.
A session looks much the same whether it is initiated from the client or the server, so use the session objects to implement the TLS, HTTP, and S3 test servers.
For TLS, at least, there are some differences between client and server sessions so add a client/server type to SocketSession to determine how the session was initiated.
Aside from reducing code duplication, the main advantage is that the test server will now timeout rather than hanging indefinitely when less input that expected is received.
Previously an error was only thrown when errno was set but in practice this is usually not the case. This may have something to do with getting errno late but attempts to get it earlier have not been successful. It appears that errno usually gets cleared and spot research seems to indicate that other users have similar issues.
An error at this point indicates unexpected EOF so it seems better to just throw an error all the time and be consistent.
To test this properly our test server needs to call SSL_shutdown() except when the client expects this error.
This abstraction allows the session code to be shared between the TLS client and (upcoming) server code.
Session management is no longer implemented in TlsClient so the HttpClient was updated to free and create sessions as needed. No test changes were required for HttpClient so the functionality should be unchanged.
Mechanical changes to the TLS tests were required to use TlsSession where appropriate rather than TlsClient. There should be no change in functionality other than how sessions are managed, i.e. using tlsClientOpen()/tlsSessionFree() rather than just tlsClientOpen().
The errorInternalThrowSys*() functions were marked as returning during coverage testing even when they had no possibility to return, i.e. the error parameter was set to constant true. This meant the compiler would treat the functions as returning even when they would not.
Instead create completely separate functions for coverage to use for THROW_ON_SYS_ERROR*() that can return and leave the regular functions marked __noreturn__.
This abstraction allows the session code to be shared between the socket client and (upcoming) server code. There should no difference in how the code works -- only the organization has changed. Note that no changes to the tests were required.
This same abstraction will be required for TlsClient but that will be done in a separate commit because it requires test changes.
These forks were done in a custom way (not sure why) and lack the capability of the standard macros for the parent to wait for child exit.
This mean that the server would continue to run after the tests were complete and that multiple servers could run at once. This caused subtle timing and connection issues that required larger timeouts to resolve.
Don't change the timeouts here since they need to be adjusted in future commits anyway.
It is pretty much impossible for a static IP to not resolve to an address but in theory the error could catch other conditions so it seems best to keep it.
When the Vagrant file was updated to use pgbackrest/ vs /backrest/ as the location for executing tests and building the documentation, parts of the contributing.xml (and hence the CONTRIBUTING.md) were not updated since some parts of the document are not actually executed when the CONTRIBUTING.md is built from contributing.xml: those parts that are executed were updated but those parts that are not executed were not.
This commit fixes the contributing.xml issue but also removes test/README.md as its contents were out of date and redundant given that they are covered in CONTRIBUTING.md.
This limitation forced extra logic in cases where zero wait times were needed.
Remove the limitation and the extra logic in cases where zero wait times are possible.
Help identify whether errors are happening in the forked server or the main test by showing the line number where the server was forked off in the stack trace.
If these are not reset then an error not wrapped in a TEST_ERROR*() macro may show the line number of the previous error in a stack trace, which is confusing.
It is better for the line number to be unreported than wrong.
The default process id was previously always 0 but there are cases where it is useful to be able to set the default.
Currently the only use case is for testing but the upcoming server code will also make use of it.
The storage driver requires two list functions to be implemented, list and infoList. But the former is a subset of the latter so implementing both in every driver is wasteful. The reason both exist is that in Posix it is cheaper to get a list of names than it is to stat files to get size, time, etc. In S3 these operations are equivalent.
Introduce storageInfoLevelType to determine the amount of information required by the caller. That way Posix can work efficiently and all drivers can return only the data required which saves some bandwidth. The storageList() and storageInfoList() functions remain in the storage interface since they are useful -- the only change is simplifying the drivers with no external impact.
Note that since list() accepted an expression infoList() must now do so. Checking the expression is optional for the driver but can be used to limit results or save IO costs.
Similarly, exists() and pathExists() are just specialized forms of info() so adapt them to call info() instead.
When DEBUG_COVERAGE was defined errno was being used instead of the value being passed. This apparently worked by happenstance in the single existing usage but it won't work in general.
It's better to start out with plural forms rather than flip back and forth as functions are added and subtracted. So, use "Constructors" instead of "Constructor".
Use "Getters/Setters" rather than "Getters" or "Setters" to avoid similar churn.
This has been the policy for some time but due to migration pressure only new functions and refactors have been following this rule. Now it seems sensible to make a clean sweep and move all the comments that have not been moved already (i.e. most of them).
Only obvious typos and gross inaccuracies in the comments have been fixed. For this most part this was a copy and paste operation.
Useless comments, e.g. "New object", were not copied. Even so, there are surely many deficient comments left.
Some rearranging was done where needed and functions were placed in the proper sections, e.g. "Constructors", "Functions", etc.
A few function prototypes were found that not longer had an implementation. These were removed, but there may be more.
The coding document has been updated to reflect this policy, which is not new but has never been documented.
Prior to performing a backup or expiring backups, the backup.info file is validated by reconstructing it from the backups in the repository. When a backup had already been removed from the repo, it was removed from the backup.info file but its dependents were not.
Now, the dependent backups will also be removed from backup.info and only backups in the repo that have their full dependency chain will be added to backup.info if they are missing.
