Before this change we sorted transfers in the stats list solely on
time started. However if --check-first was in use then lots of
transfers could be started in the same millisecond. Because Windows
time resolution is only 1mS this caused the entries to sort equal and
bounce around in the list.
This change fixes the sort so that if the time is equal it uses the
name which should stabilize the order.
Fixes#4599
Before this change the code which summed up the existing transfers
over all the stats groups forgot to add the old transfer time and old
transfers in.
This meant that the speed and elapsedTime got increasingly inaccurate
over time due to the transfers being culled from the list but their
time not being accounted for.
This change adds the old transfers into the sum which fixes the
problem.
This was only a problem over the rc.
Fixes#4569
Before ths fix --cutoff-mode soft and cautious would emit a Fatal
error which stopped the sync immediately.
This fix introduces a new error which is checked in the sync error
processing which stops the sync gracefully.
Fixes#4576
This patch provides the support of synchronous cache space recovery
to allow read threads to recover from ENOSPC errors when cache space
can be recovered from cache items that are not in use or safe to be
reset/emptied .
The patch complements the existing cache cleaning process in two ways.
Firstly, the existing cache cleaning process is time-driven that runs
periodically. The cache space can run out while the cache cleaner
thread is still waiting for its next scheduled run. The io threads
encountering ENOSPC return an internal error to the applications
in this case even when cache space can be recovered to avoid this
error. This patch addresses this problem by having the read threads
kick the cache cleaner thread in this condition to recover cache
space preventing unnecessary ENOSPC errors from being seen by the
applications.
Secondly, this patch enhances the cache cleaner to support cache
item reset. Currently the cache purge process removes cache
items that are not in use. This may not be sufficient when the
total size of the working set exceeds the cache directory's
capacity. Like in the current code, this patch starts the purge
process by removing cache files that are not in use. Cache items
whose access times are older than vfs-cache-max-age are removed first.
After that, other not-in-use items are removed in LRU order until
vfs-cache-max-size is reached. If the vfs-cache-max-size (the quota)
is still not reached at this time, this patch adds a cache reset
step to reset/empty cache files that are still in use but not
dirtied. This enables application processes to continue without
seeing an error even when the working set depletes the cache space
as long as there is not a large write working set hoarding the
entire cache space.
By design this patch does not add ENOSPC error recovery for write
IOs. Rclone does not empty a write cache item until the file data
is written back to the backend upon close. Allowing more cache
space to be consumed by dirty cache items when the cache space is
already running low would increase the risk of exhausting the cache
space in a way that the vfs mount becomes unreadable.
The deadlock was caused in transfermap.go by calling mu.RLock() in one
function then calling it again in a sub function. Normally this is
fine, however this leaves a window where mu.Lock() can be called. When
mu.Lock() is called it doesn't allow the second mu.RLock() and
deadlocks.
Thead 1 Thread 2
String():mu.RLock()
del():mu.Lock()
sortedSlice():mu.RLock() - DEADLOCK
Lesson learnt: don't try using locks recursively ever!
This patch fixes the problem by removing the second mu.RLock(). This
was done by factoring the code that was calling it into the
transfermap.go file so all the locking can be seen at once which was
ultimately the cause of the problem - the code which used the locks
was too far away from the rest of the code using the lock.
This problem was introduced in:
bfa5715017 fs/accounting: sort transfers by start time
Which hasn't been released in a stable version yet
- add a directory to the optional Purge interface
- fix up all the backends
- add an additional integration test to test for the feature
- use the new feature in operations.Purge
Many of the backends had been prepared in advance for this so the
change was trivial for them.
This is preparation for getting the Accounting to check the context,
buf first we need to get it in place. Since this is one of those
changes that makes lots of noise, this is in a seperate commit.
go1.15 introduced a stricter policy for what you can convert with
`string()` and now `go vet` warns if you try to do `string(int)`.

If the parameter being passed is an object then it can be passed as a
JSON string rather than using the `--json` flag which simplifies the
command line.
rclone rc operations/list fs=/tmp remote=test opt='{"showHash": true}'
Rather than
rclone rc operations/list --json '{"fs": "/tmp", "remote": "test", "opt": {"showHash": true}}'
