The missed update can cause incorrect before-cleaning cache stats
and a pre-mature condition broadcast in purgeOld before the cache
space use is reduced below the quota.
Add an exponentially increasing delay during retries up ENOSPC error
to avoid exhausting the 10 retries too soon when the cache space
recovery from item resets is not available from the file system yet
or consumed by other large cache writes.
Item reset is invoked by cache cleaner for synchronous recovery
from ENOSPC errors. The reset operation removes the cache file and
closes/reopens the downloaders. Although most parts of reset and
other item operations are done with the item mutex held, the mutex
is released during fd.WriteAt and downloaders calls. We used preAccess
and postAccess calls to serialize Reset, ReadAt, and Open, but missed
some other item operations. The patch adds preAccess/postAccess
calls in Sync, Truncate, Close, WriteAt, and rename.
A failed item reset is saved in the errItems for retryFailedResets
to process. If the item gets closed before the retry, the item may
have been removed from the c.item array. Previous code did not
account for this condition. This patch adds the check for the
exitence of the retry items in retryFailedResets.
The downloaders.Close() call acquires the downloaders' mutex before
calling the wait group wait and the main downloaders thread has a
periodical (5 seconds interval) call to kick its waiters and the
waiter dispatch function tries to get the mutex. So a deadlock can
occur if the Close() call starts, gets the mutex, while the main
downloader thread already got the timer's tick and proceeded to
call kickWaiters. The deadlock happens when the Close call gets
the mutex between the timer's kick and the main downloader thread
gets the mutex first. So it's a pretty short period of time and
it probably explains why the problem has not surfaced, maybe
something like tens of nanoseconds out of 5 seconds (~10^^-8).
It took 5 days of continued stressing the Close calls for the
deadlock to appear.
Before this change if a file was removed from the cache while rclone
is running then rclone would not notice and proceed to re-create it
full of zeros.
This change notices files that we expect to have data in going missing
and if they do logs an ERROR recovers.
It isn't recommended deleting files from the cache manually with
rclone running!

Before this change the error message was produced for every file which
was confusing users.
After this change we check for EOF and return from ReadAt at that
point.

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.
Before this change we set the modtime of the cache file when all
writers had finished.
This has the unfortunate effect that the file is uploaded with the
wrong modtime which means on backends which can't set modtimes except
when uploading files it is wrong.
This change sets the modtime of the cache file immediately in the
cache and in turn sets the modtime in the file info.
Before this change the background writing of the file was racing with
the test of the object on the remote.
This meant that the tests passed locally but failed on a lot of the
remotes.
Before this change we didn't check the file exists before renaming it,
setting its modification time or deleting it. If the file isn't in the
cache we don't need to do the action since it has been done on the
actual object, so these errors were producing unecessary log messages.
This change checks to see if the file exists first before doing those
actions.
Before this fix, download threads would fill up the buffer and then
timeout even though data was still being read from them. If the client
was streaming slower than network speed this caused the downloader to
stop and be restarted continuously. This caused more potential for
skips in the download and unecessary network transactions.
This patch fixes that behaviour - as long as a downloader is being
read from more often than once every 5 seconds, it won't timeout.
This was done by:
- kicking the downloader whenever ensureDownloader is called
- making the downloader loop if it has already downloaded past the maxOffset
- making setRange() always kick the downloader
Due to Chrome's rather complicated use of file handles when saving
files from the download windows, rclone was attempting to truncate a
closed file.
The file appeared closed due to the handling of 0 length files.
This patch removes the check for the file being closed in the
WriteFileHandle.Truncate call. This is safe because the only action
this method takes is to emit an error message if the file is the wrong
size.

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.
Before this fix we took the directory lock to read the ModTime of the
directory. This was causing locking on directories which were being
re-read from the backend.
This commit gives the modtime its own lock so it can be read even when
the directory is being updated.

Before this change files that were in the cache and renamed with
--vfs-cache-mode minimal weren't renamed at all.
This fixes the problem and adds tests for all the different
combinations of cache modes and in and out of the cache.
In this commit (released in v1.52.0)
6ca7198f mount: fix disappearing cwd problem
SetSys was introduced to cache node lookups.
Unfortunately taking the vfs.(*Dir) lock in SetSys causes any FUSE
operations on a directory to pile up behind slow directory listings.
In some situations this leads to very high load.
This commit fixes it by using atomic operations to read and write the
Sys value make it independent of the lock.

Previous to the fix, if an item was being uploaded and it was renamed,
the upload would fail with missing checksum errors.
This change cancels any uploads in progress if the file is renamed.
This was caused by the signal to stop buffering being ignored when
there was no buffer!
This is fixed by explicitly checking for no buffering and stopping.
Before this change, if we restarted an upload after a restart then the
file would get uploaded but never added to the directory listings.
This change makes sure we add virtual items to the directory cache
when reloading the cache so that they show up properly.
Rclone adds virtual directory entries to the directory cache when it
creates a file or directory.
Before this change these dropped out of the directory cache when the
directory cache was reloaded. This meant that when the directory cache
expired:
- On bucket based backends, empty directories would disappear
- When using VFS writeback, files in the process of uploading would disappear
This is fixed by keeping track of the virtual entries in each
directory. The virtual entries are removed when they become real - ie
the object is read back from the listing.
This also keeps tracks of deletes in the same way so if a file is
deleted, it will not re-appear when the directory cache is reloaded if
the deletion hasn't finished yet.
