This unified construction removes most backend-specific code from
global.go. The backend registry will also enable integration tests to
use custom backends if necessary.
Since #3940 the rclone backend returns the commands exit code if it
fails to start. The list of expected errors was missing the "file
already closed"-error which can occur if the http test request first
learns about the closed pipe to rclone before noticing the canceled
context.
Go internally makes sure that a file descriptor is unusable once it was
closed, thus this cannot have unintended side effects (like accidentally
reading from the wrong file due to a reused file descriptor).
This package is no longer needed, since we can use the stdlib's
http.NewRequestWithContext.
backend/rclone already did, but it needed a different error check due to
a difference between net/http and ctxhttp.
Also, store the http.Client by value in the REST backend (changed to a
pointer when ctxhttp was introduced) and use errors.WithStack instead
of errors.Wrap where the message was no longer accurate. Errors from
http.NewRequestWithContext will start with "net/http" or "net/url", so
they're easy to identify.
According to the documentation of exec.Cmd Wait() must not be called
before completing all reads from the pipe returned by StdErrPipe(). Thus
return a context that is canceled once rclone has exited and use that as
a precondition to calling Wait(). This should ensure that all errors
printed to stderr have been copied first.
When rclone fails during the connection setup this currently often
results in a context canceled error. Replace this error with the exit
code from rclone.
rclone can exit early for example when the connection to rclone is
relayed for example via ssh: `-o rclone.program='ssh user@example.org
forced-command'`
As the connection to the rclone child process is now closed after an
unexpected subprocess exit, later requests will cause the http2
transport to try to reestablish a new connection. As previously this never
should have happened, the connection called panic in that case. This
panic is now replaced with a simple error message, as it no longer
indicates an internal problem.
Calling `Close()` on the rclone backend sometimes failed during test
execution with 'signal: Broken pipe'. The stdio connection closed both
the stdin and stdout file descriptors at the same moment, therefore
giving rclone no chance to properly send any final http2 data frames.
Now the stdin connection to rclone is closed first and will only be
forcefully closed after a timeout. In case rclone exits before the
timeout then the stdio connection will be closed normally.
restic did not notice when the rclone subprocess exited unexpectedly.
restic manually created pipes for stdin and stdout and used these for the
connection to the rclone subprocess. The process creating a pipe gets
file descriptors for the sender and receiver side of a pipe and passes
them on to the subprocess. The expected behavior would be that reads or
writes in the parent process fail / return once the child process dies
as a pipe would now just have a reader or writer but not both.
However, this never happened as restic kept the reader and writer
file descriptors of the pipes. `cmd.StdinPipe` and `cmd.StdoutPipe`
close the subprocess side of pipes once the child process was started
and close the parent process side of pipes once wait has finished. We
can't use these functions as we need access to the raw `os.File` so just
replicate that behavior.
This change allows passing no arguments to rclone, using `-o
rclone.args=""`. It is helpful when running rclone remotely via SSH
using a key with a forced command (via `command=` in `authorized_keys`).
