chore(protocol): only allow enc. password changes on cluster config (#10145)
chore(protocol): don't start connection routines a second time (#10146)
In practice we already always call SetPassword and ClusterConfig
together. However it's not just "sensible" to do that, it's required: If
the passwords change, the remote device needs to know about that to
check that the enc. setup is valid/consistent (e.g. tokens match,
folder-type is appropriate, ...).
And with the passwords set later, there's no point in adding them as
part of creating a new connection.
This is a "followup" (if one can call it that 4 years later :) ) to

The copier routine refactor resulted in bad buffer pool handling,
putting a buffer back into the pool twice. This simplifies and removes
the danger prone Upgrade() method.
At a high level, this is what I've done and why:
- I'm moving the protobuf generation for the `protocol`, `discovery` and
`db` packages to the modern alternatives, and using `buf` to generate
because it's nice and simple.
- After trying various approaches on how to integrate the new types with
the existing code, I opted for splitting off our own data model types
from the on-the-wire generated types. This means we can have a
`FileInfo` type with nicer ergonomics and lots of methods, while the
protobuf generated type stays clean and close to the wire protocol. It
does mean copying between the two when required, which certainly adds a
small amount of inefficiency. If we want to walk this back in the future
and use the raw generated type throughout, that's possible, this however
makes the refactor smaller (!) as it doesn't change everything about the
type for everyone at the same time.
- I have simply removed in cold blood a significant number of old
database migrations. These depended on previous generations of generated
messages of various kinds and were annoying to support in the new
fashion. The oldest supported database version now is the one from
Syncthing 1.9.0 from Sep 7, 2020.
- I changed config structs to be regular manually defined structs.
For the sake of discussion, some things I tried that turned out not to
work...
### Embedding / wrapping
Embedding the protobuf generated structs in our existing types as a data
container and keeping our methods and stuff:
```
package protocol
type FileInfo struct {
*generated.FileInfo
}
```
This generates a lot of problems because the internal shape of the
generated struct is quite different (different names, different types,
more pointers), because initializing it doesn't work like you'd expect
(i.e., you end up with an embedded nil pointer and a panic), and because
the types of child types don't get wrapped. That is, even if we also
have a similar wrapper around a `Vector`, that's not the type you get
when accessing `someFileInfo.Version`, you get the `*generated.Vector`
that doesn't have methods, etc.
### Aliasing
```
package protocol
type FileInfo = generated.FileInfo
```
Doesn't help because you can't attach methods to it, plus all the above.
### Generating the types into the target package like we do now and
attaching methods
This fails because of the different shape of the generated type (as in
the embedding case above) plus the generated struct already has a bunch
of methods that we can't necessarily override properly (like `String()`
and a bunch of getters).
### Methods to functions
I considered just moving all the methods we attach to functions in a
specific package, so that for example
```
package protocol
func (f FileInfo) Equal(other FileInfo) bool
```
would become
```
package fileinfos
func Equal(a, b *generated.FileInfo) bool
```
and this would mostly work, but becomes quite verbose and cumbersome,
and somewhat limits discoverability (you can't see what methods are
available on the type in auto completions, etc). In the end I did this
in some cases, like in the database layer where a lot of things like
`func (fv *FileVersion) IsEmpty() bool` becomes `func fvIsEmpty(fv
*generated.FileVersion)` because they were anyway just internal methods.
Fixes#8247
The read/write loops may keep going for a while on a closing connection
with lots of read/write activity, as it's random which select case is
chosen. And if the connection is slow or even broken, a single
read/write
can take a long time/until timeout. Add initial non-blocking selects
with only the cases relevant to closing, to prioritize those.
This is a refactor of the protocol/model interface to take the actual
message as the parameter, instead of the broken-out fields:
```diff
type Model interface {
// An index was received from the peer device
- Index(conn Connection, folder string, files []FileInfo) error
+ Index(conn Connection, idx *Index) error
// An index update was received from the peer device
- IndexUpdate(conn Connection, folder string, files []FileInfo) error
+ IndexUpdate(conn Connection, idxUp *IndexUpdate) error
// A request was made by the peer device
- Request(conn Connection, folder, name string, blockNo, size int32, offset int64, hash []byte, weakHash uint32, fromTemporary bool) (RequestResponse, error)
+ Request(conn Connection, req *Request) (RequestResponse, error)
// A cluster configuration message was received
- ClusterConfig(conn Connection, config ClusterConfig) error
+ ClusterConfig(conn Connection, config *ClusterConfig) error
// The peer device closed the connection or an error occurred
Closed(conn Connection, err error)
// The peer device sent progress updates for the files it is currently downloading
- DownloadProgress(conn Connection, folder string, updates []FileDownloadProgressUpdate) error
+ DownloadProgress(conn Connection, p *DownloadProgress) error
}
```
(and changing the `ClusterConfig` to `*ClusterConfig` for symmetry;
we'll be forced to use all pointers everywhere at some point anyway...)
The reason for this is that I have another thing cooking which is a
small troubleshooting change to check index consistency during transfer.
This required adding a field or two to the index/indexupdate messages,
and plumbing the extra parameters in umpteen changes is almost as big a
diff as this is. I figured let's do it once and avoid having to do that
in the future again...
The rest of the diff falls out of the change above, much of it being in
test code where we run these methods manually...
In principle a connection can close while it's in progress with
starting, and then it's undefined if we wait for goroutines to exit etc.
With this change, we will wait for start to complete before starting to
stop everything.
This adds the ability to have multiple concurrent connections to a single device. This is primarily useful when the network has multiple physical links for aggregated bandwidth. A single connection will never see a higher rate than a single link can give, but multiple connections are load-balanced over multiple links.
It is also incidentally useful for older multi-core CPUs, where bandwidth could be limited by the TLS performance of a single CPU core -- using multiple connections achieves concurrency in the required crypto calculations...

This adds a cache to the expensive key generation operations. It's fixes
size LRU/MRU stuff to keep memory usage bounded under absurd conditions.
Also closes#8600.
* lib/connections: Cache isLAN decision for later external access.
The check whether a remote device's address is on a local network
currently happens when handling the Hello message, to configure the
limiters. Save the result to the ConnectionInfo and pass it out as
part of the model's ConnectionInfo struct in ConnectionStats().
* gui: Use provided connection attribute to distinguish LAN / WAN.
Replace the dumb IP address check which didn't catch common cases and
actually could contradict what the backend decided. That could have
been confusing if the GUI says WAN, but the limiter is not actually
applied because the backend thinks it's a LAN.
Add strings for QUIC and relay connections to also differentiate
between LAN and WAN.
* gui: Redefine reception level icons for all connection types.
Move the mapping to the JS code, as it is much easier to handle
multiple switch cases by fall-through there.
QUIC is regarded no less than TCP anymore. LAN and WAN make the
difference between levels 4 / 3 and 2 / 1:
{TCP,QUIC} LAN --> {TCP,QUIC} WAN --> Relay LAN --> Relay WAN -->
Disconnected.
This replaces old style errors.Wrap with modern fmt.Errorf and removes
the (direct) dependency on github.com/pkg/errors. A couple of cases are
adjusted by hand as previously errors.Wrap(nil, ...) would return nil,
which is not what fmt.Errorf does.
Having a separate mutex for the three or four instructions needed to
fetch and increment nextID means the overhead exceeds the cost of this
operation. nextID is now handled inside the critical section for
awaiting instead, while the more expensive channel creation has been
moved outside it.
This is mostly a simplification, though it may have minor performance
benefits in some situations. The single-threaded sender benchmark shows
no significant difference:
name old speed new speed delta
RequestsRawTCP-8 55.3MB/s ± 7% 56.6MB/s ± 6% ~ (p=0.190 n=10+10)
RequestsTLSoTCP-8 20.5MB/s ±20% 20.8MB/s ± 8% ~ (p=0.604 n=10+9)
* lib/protocol: Require at least 3.125% savings from compression
The new lz4 library doesn't need its output buffer to be the maximum
size, unlike the old one (which would allocate if it weren't). It can
take a buffer that is of a smaller size and will report if compressed
data can fit inside the buffer (with a small chance of reporting a false
negative). Use that property to our advantage by requiring compressed
data to be at most n-n/32 = .96875*n bytes long for n input bytes.
* lib/protocol: Remove unused receivers
To make DeepSource happy.
* lib/protocol: Micro-optimize lz4Compress
Only write the length if compression was successful. This is a memory
write, so the compiler can't reorder it.
Only check the return value of lz4.CompressBlock. Length-zero inputs
are always expanded by LZ4 compression (the library documents this),
so the check on len(src) isn't needed.
* lib/model: Remove bogus fields from connections API endpoint.
Switch the returned data type for the /rest/system/connections element
"total" to use only the Statistics struct. The other fields of the
ConnectionInfo struct are not populated and misleading.
* Lowercase JSON field names.
* lib/model: Get rid of ConnectionInfo.MarshalJSON().
It was missing the StartedAt field from the embedded Statistics
struct. Just lowercasing the JSON attribute names can be done just as
easily with annotations.
* lib/model: Remove bogus startedAt field from totals.
Instead of using the Statistics type with one field empty, just switch
to a free-form map with the three needed fields.
This truncates times meant for API consumption to second precision,
where fractions won't typically matter or add any value. Exception to
this is timestamps on logs and events, and of course I'm not touching
things like file metadata.
I'm not 100% certain this is an exhaustive change, but it's the things I
found by grepping and following the breadcrumbs from lib/api...
I also considered general-but-ugly solutions, like having the API
serializer itself do reflection magic or even regexps on returned
objects, but decided against it because aurgh...
This adds a statistic to track the last connection duration per device.
It isn't used for much in this PR, but it's available for #7223 to use
in deciding how to order device connection attempts (deprioritizing
devices that just dropped our connection the last time).
This adds error returns to model methods called by the protocol layer.
Returning an error will cause the connection to be torn down as the
message couldn't be handled. Using this to signal that a folder isn't
currently available will then cause a reconnection a few moments later,
when it'll hopefully work better.
Tested manually by running with STRECHECKDBEVERY=0 on a nontrivially
sized setup. This panics reliably before this patch, but just causes a
disconnect/reconnect now.
We incorrectly gave a too small buffer to lz4.Compress, causing it to
allocate in some cases (when the data actually becomes larger when
compressed). This then panicked when passed to the buffer pool.
This ensures a buffer that is large enough, and adds tripwires closer to
the source in case this ever pops up again. There is a test that
exercises the issue.
