If the receiver gets a filename with a leading slash (w/o --relative)
and/or a filename with an embedded ".." dir in the path, it dies with
an error (rather than continuing). Those invalid paths should never
happen in reality, so just reject someone trying to pull a fast one.
The I/O code can receive incremental file-list chunks during deletion,
and their OPT_EXTRA fields would get corrupted when file_extra_cnt is
incremented.
Instead of temporarily enabling uid_ndx to find out whether the user
owns a file, have make_file() set a flag for that purpose.
Applied with a few minor tweaks by Wayne. Fixes bug 7936.
- The receiver now sends keep-alive messages to the generator
when it is actively doing work and hasn't sent anything
recently. This ensures that the generator won't timeout
if the receiver is working hard.
- The perform_io() code has improved keep-alive participation.
- Allow the sender to send some keep-alive messages, which
ensures that if it is in a lull, it can probe the socket.
The receiving side also switches timeout handling from the receiver to
the generator, which obviates the need for the sender to send any
keep-alive messages at all (for protocol 31 and beyond). Given this
setup, all keep-alive messages are now sent as empty MSG_DATA messages,
with MSG_NOOP messages only being understood and (when necessary) acted
upon to forward a keep-alive event to an older receiver. This is both
safer and more compatible with older versions.
- The receiver notifies the generator if it is exiting with an error,
and then, if it is a server, waits around for the generator to die.
This ensures that the client side has time to read the error.
- The generator or sender will notifiy the other side of the transfer of
an error-exit value if protocol 31 is in effect. This will get rid of
some "connection unexpectedly closed" errors that are really expected
events due to a fatal exit on the other side.
Files-from data is now sent as multiplexed I/O so that it can mingle
with any messages (such as debug output). Requires protocol 31.
Protocol 31 no longer disables output verbosity in a couple instances
that used to cause protocol issues.
Got rid of MSG_* messages that have implied raw data that follows after
them. We instead send a negative index value as a part of the raw data
stream, which is guaranteed to be output together with the following
data. This only affects the (in-progress) protocol 31 and the (self-
contained) communication stream from the receiver to the generator.
Added --debug=IO and improved --debug=FLIST. Some --debug=IO output
requires --msgs2stderr to be used to see it (i.e. sending a message
about sending a message would send another message, ad infinitum).
- Improve function name: parse_rule -> parse_filter_str (to make the
similarity with parse_filter_file clearer, and better indicate that
it can parse multiple rules when FILTRULE_WORD_SPLIT is specified).
- In preparation for rule prefixes containing information beyond the
rflags, change the code to pass around a full "template" filter_rule
instead of just rflags. Callers of parse_filter_{str,file} that want
to specify only rflags can use rule_template(rflags) .
- Remove the MODIFIERS_* strings and instead hand-code the condition
under which each modifier is valid. This should make it easier to
see that the conditions are correct.
- Tighten up default modifiers on merge rules:
- Disallow "!" because it isn't useful.
- If the merge rule specifies a side via "s" or "r", the rules in the
file cannot also specify a side via "s", "r", "hide", etc.
[Patch was changed by Wayne a bit prior to application.]
Since the value is not needed, protocol 31 no longer sends it, while
older protocols are optimized so the sender just sends a valid rdev
value as efficiently as possible. The receiver no longer caches an
rdev value for special files, and the generator will always pass a 0
rdev value to do_mknod() for special files. Fixes bug #6280.
- Changed get_backup_name() to verify the backup path, and make any
missing directories. This avoids accidental use of a symlink as a dir
in a backup path, and gets rid of any other non-dirs that are in the
way. It also avoids the need for various operations to retry after
calling make_bak_dir(), simplifying several pices of code.
- Changed create_directory_path() to make_path(), giving it flags that
lets the caller decide if it should skip a leading slash or drop the
trailing filename.
- Mention when we create the backup directory, so the user is not caught
unaware when rsync uses a directory they didn't expect.
- Got rid of some dir-moving backup code that is not used.
- Added a little more backup-debug output.
- Backups do not interfere with an atomic update (when possible).
- Backing up a file will remove a directory that is in the way
and visa versa.
- Unify the backup-dir and non-backup-dir code in backup.c.
- Improved the backup tests a little bit.
