---files-from
- Avoids traversal. Better option than a pile of --include statements
- for people who want to generate the file list using a find(1)
- command or a script.
+supplementary groups
+
+ Perhaps allow supplementary groups to be specified in rsyncd.conf;
+ then make the first one the primary gid and all the rest be
+ supplementary gids.
+
+
+File list structure in memory
+
+ Rather than one big array, perhaps have a tree in memory mirroring
+ the directory tree.
+
+ This might make sorting much faster! (I'm not sure it's a big CPU
+ problem, mind you.)
+
+ It might also reduce memory use in storing repeated directory names
+-- again I'm not sure this is a problem.
Performance
Traverse just one directory at a time. Tridge says it's possible.
-
- Can possibly also be smarter about memory use while looking for hard
- links by reducing the refcount as we find alternative names. In
- fact at the moment the code seems to make a whole second copy of the
- file list, which seems unnecessary.
-IPv6
+ At the moment rsync reads the whole file list into memory at the
+ start, which makes us use a lot of memory and also not pipeline
+ network access as much as we could.
+
+
+Handling duplicate names
+
+ We need to be careful of duplicate names getting into the file list.
+ See clean_flist(). This could happen if multiple arguments include
+ the same file. Bad.
+
+ I think duplicates are only a problem if they're both flowing
+ through the pipeline at the same time. For example we might have
+ updated the first occurrence after reading the checksums for the
+ second. So possibly we just need to make sure that we don't have
+ both in the pipeline at the same time.
+
+ Possibly if we did one directory at a time that would be sufficient.
+
+ Alternatively we could pre-process the arguments to make sure no
+ duplicates will ever be inserted. There could be some bad cases
+ when we're collapsing symlinks.
+
+ We could have a hash table.
+
+ The root of the problem is that we do not want more than one file
+ list entry referring to the same file. At first glance there are
+ several ways this could happen: symlinks, hardlinks, and repeated
+ names on the command line.
+
+ If names are repeated on the command line, they may be present in
+ different forms, perhaps by traversing directory paths in different
+ ways, traversing paths including symlinks. Also we need to allow
+ for expansion of globs by rsync.
+
+ At the moment, clean_flist() requires having the entire file list in
+ memory. Duplicate names are detected just by a string comparison.
+
+ We don't need to worry about hard links causing duplicates because
+ files are never updated in place. Similarly for symlinks.
+
+ I think even if we're using a different symlink mode we don't need
+ to worry.
+
+ Unless we're really clever this will introduce a protocol
+ incompatibility, so we need to be able to accept the old format as
+ well.
+
+
+Memory accounting
+
+ At exit, show how much memory was used for the file list, etc.
+
+ Also we do a wierd exponential-growth allocation in flist.c. I'm
+ not sure this makes sense with modern mallocs. At any rate it will
+ make us allocate a huge amount of memory for large file lists.
+
+
+Hard-link handling
+
+ At the moment hardlink handling is very expensive, so it's off by
+ default. It does not need to be so.
+
+ Since most of the solutions are rather intertwined with the file
+ list it is probably better to fix that first, although fixing
+ hardlinks is possibly simpler.
+
+ We can rule out hardlinked directories since they will probably
+ screw us up in all kinds of ways. They simply should not be used.
+
+ At the moment rsync only cares about hardlinks to regular files. I
+ guess you could also use them for sockets, devices and other beasts,
+ but I have not seen them.
+
+ When trying to reproduce hard links, we only need to worry about
+ files that have more than one name (nlinks>1 && !S_ISDIR).
+
+ The basic point of this is to discover alternate names that refer to
+ the same file. All operations, including creating the file and
+ writing modifications to it need only to be done for the first name.
+ For all later names, we just create the link and then leave it
+ alone.
+
+ If hard links are to be preserved:
+
+ Before the generator/receiver fork, the list of files is received
+ from the sender (recv_file_list), and a table for detecting hard
+ links is built.
+
+ The generator looks for hard links within the file list and does
+ not send checksums for them, though it does send other metadata.
+
+ The sender sends the device number and inode with file entries, so
+ that files are uniquely identified.
+
+ The receiver goes through and creates hard links (do_hard_links)
+ after all data has been written, but before directory permissions
+ are set.
+
+ At the moment device and inum are sent as 4-byte integers, which
+ will probably cause problems on large filesystems. On Linux the
+ kernel uses 64-bit ino_t's internally, and people will soon have
+ filesystems big enough to use them. We ought to follow NFS4 in
+ using 64-bit device and inode identification, perhaps with a
+ protocol version bump.
+ Once we've seen all the names for a particular file, we no longer
+ need to think about it and we can deallocate the memory.
+
+ We can also have the case where there are links to a file that are
+ not in the tree being transferred. There's nothing we can do about
+ that. Because we rename the destination into place after writing,
+ any hardlinks to the old file are always going to be orphaned. In
+ fact that is almost necessary because otherwise we'd get really
+ confused if we were generating checksums for one name of a file and
+ modifying another.
+
+ At the moment the code seems to make a whole second copy of the file
+ list, which seems unnecessary.
+
+ We should have a test case that exercises hard links. Since it
+ might be hard to compare ./tls output where the inodes change we
+ might need a little program to check whether several names refer to
+ the same file.
+
+
+
+Handling IPv6 on old machines
+
+ The KAME IPv6 patch is nice in theory but has proved a bit of a
+ nightmare in practice. The basic idea of their patch is that rsync
+ is rewritten to use the new getaddrinfo()/getnameinfo() interface,
+ rather than gethostbyname()/gethostbyaddr() as in rsync 2.4.6.
+ Systems that don't have the new interface are handled by providing
+ our own implementation in lib/, which is selectively linked in.
+
+ The problem with this is that it is really hard to get right on
+ platforms that have a half-working implementation, so redefining
+ these functions clashes with system headers, and leaving them out
+ breaks. This affects at least OSF/1, RedHat 5, and Cobalt, which
+ are moderately improtant.
+
+ Perhaps the simplest solution would be to have two different files
+ implementing the same interface, and choose either the new or the
+ old API. This is probably necessary for systems that e.g. have
+ IPv6, but gethostbyaddr() can't handle it. The Linux manpage claims
+ this is currently the case.
+
+ In fact, our internal sockets interface (things like
+ open_socket_out(), etc) is much narrower than the getaddrinfo()
+ interface, and so probably simpler to get right. In addition, the
+ old code is known to work well on old machines.
+
+ We could drop the rather large lib/getaddrinfo files.
+
+
+Other IPv6 stuff:
+
Implement suggestions from http://www.kame.net/newsletter/19980604/
and ftp://ftp.iij.ad.jp/pub/RFC/rfc2553.txt
colons, they tend to break most naming systems, including ours.
Based on the HTTP IPv6 syntax, I think we should use
- rsync://[::1]/foo/bar
- [::1]::bar
+ rsync://[::1]/foo/bar [::1]::bar
which should just take a small change to the parser code.
+
Errors
If we hang or get SIGINT, then explain where we were up to. Perhaps
"The dungeon collapses! You are killed." Rather than "unexpected
eof" give a message that is more detailed if possible and also more
- helpful.
+ helpful.
+
+ If we get an error writing to a socket, then we should perhaps
+ continue trying to read to see if an error message comes across
+ explaining why the socket is closed. I'm not sure if this would
+ work, but it would certainly make our messages more helpful.
+
+ What happens if a directory is missing -x attributes. Do we lose
+ our load? (Debian #28416) Probably fixed now, but a test case would
+ be good.
+
File attributes
can end up with many empty directories. We might avoid this by
lazily creating such directories.
+
zlib
- Perhaps don't use our own zlib. Will we actually be incompatible,
- or just be slightly less efficient?
+ Perhaps don't use our own zlib.
+
+ Advantages:
+
+ - will automatically be up to date with bugfixes in zlib
+
+ - can leave it out for small rsync on e.g. recovery disks
+
+ - can use a shared library
+
+ - avoids people breaking rsync by trying to do this themselves and
+ messing up
+
+ Should we ship zlib for systems that don't have it, or require
+ people to install it separately?
+
+ Apparently this will make us incompatible with versions of rsync
+ that use the patched version of rsync. Probably the simplest way to
+ do this is to just disable gzip (with a warning) when talking to old
+ versions.
+
logging
monitor progress in a log file can do so more easily. See
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=48108
-rsyncd over ssh
+ At the connections that just get a list of modules are not logged,
+ but they should be.
- There are already some patches to do this.
+ If a child of the rsync daemon dies with a signal, we should notice
+ that when we reap it and log a message.
+
+ Keep stderr and stdout properly separated (Debian #23626)
+
+ After we get the @RSYNCD greeting from the server, we know it's
+ version but we have not yet sent the command line, so we could just
+ remove the -z option if the server is too old.
+
+ For ssh invocation it's not so simple, because we actually use the
+ command line to start the remote process. However, we only actually
+ do compression in token.c, and we could therefore once we discover
+ the remote version emit an error if it's too old. I'm not sure if
+ that's a good tradeoff or not.
+
+
+proxy authentication
+
+ Allow RSYNC_PROXY to be http://user:pass@proxy.foo:3128/, and do
+ HTTP Basic Proxy-Authentication.
+
+ Multiple schemes are possible, up to and including the insanity that
+ is NTLM, but Basic probably covers most cases.
+
+SOCKS
+
+ Add --with-socks, and then perhaps a command-line option to put them
+ on or off. This might be more reliable than LD_PRELOAD hacks.
+
+FAT support
+
+ rsync to a FAT partition on a Unix machine doesn't work very well at
+ the moment. I think we get errors about invalid filenames and
+ perhaps also trying to do atomic renames.
+
+ I guess the code to do this is currently #ifdef'd on Windows;
+ perhaps we ought to intelligently fall back to it on Unix too.
+
+
+Better statistics:
+
+ <Rasmus> mbp: hey, how about an rsync option that just gives you the
+ summary without the list of files? And perhaps gives more
+ information like the number of new files, number of changed,
+ deleted, etc. ? <mbp> Rasmus: nice idea <mbp> there is --stats
+ <mbp> but at the moment it's very tridge-oriented <mbp> rather than
+ user-friendly <mbp> it would be nice to improve it <mbp> that would
+ also work well with --dryrun
+
+TDB:
+
+ Rather than storing the file list in memory, store it in a TDB.
+
+ This *might* make memory usage lower while building the file list.
+
+ Hashtable lookup will mean files are not transmitted in order,
+ though... hm.
+
+ This would neatly eliminate one of the major post-fork shared data
+ structures.

+ I think that would be good too. For example, people uploading files

+
+
+PERFORMANCE ----------------------------------------------------------
+
+MD4 file_sum
+
+ If we're doing a local transfer, or using -W, then perhaps don't
+ send the file checksum. If we're doing a local transfer, then
+ calculating MD4 checksums uses 90% of CPU and is unlikely to be
+ useful.
+
+ Indeed for transfers over zlib or ssh we can also rely on the
+ transport to have quite strong protection against corruption.
+
+ Perhaps we should have an option to disable this, analogous to
+--whole-file, although it would default to disabled. The file
+checksum takes up a definite space in the protocol -- we can either
+set it to 0, or perhaps just leave it out.
+
+MD4
+
+ Perhaps borrow an assembler MD4 from someone?
+
+ Make sure we call MD4 with properly-sized blocks whenever possible
+ to avoid copying into the residue region?
+
+String area code
+
+ Test whether this is actually faster than just using malloc(). If

+
PLATFORMS ------------------------------------------------------------
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-08/msg00234.html
- According to "Effective TCP/IP Programming" (??) close() on a socket
- has incorrect behaviour on Windows -- it sends a RST packet to the
- other side, which gives a "connection reset by peer" error. On that
- platform we should probably do shutdown() instead. However, on Unix
- we are correct to call close(), because shutdown() discards
- untransmitted data.

+ Build rsync with SPLINT to try to find security holes. Add

+TESTING --------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Cross-test versions
+
+ Part of the regression suite should be making sure that we don't

+ Ideally we would test both up and down from the current release to
+ all old versions.
+
+ We might need to omit broken old versions, or versions in which
+ particular functionality is broken
+
+ It might be sufficient to test downloads from well-known public
+ rsync servers running different versions of rsync. This will give
+ some testing and also be the most common case for having different
+ versions and not being able to upgrade.
+
+
+Test on kernel source
+

+ sync between uncompressed tarballs. Compare directories after
+ transfer.
