The single-threaded and -m receivers never populated ReceiverStats.matched_data
or .deleted_files, so --stats always printed 0 for both even when rsync
reported nonzero. Track the bytes reconstructed from the basis file while
applying a delta, and tally the delete-commit counts (manifest and
per-directory sessions) into the receiver stats. The -m pipeline now carries
its own stats/would-delete fields and emits the STATUS_STATS frame before the
terminal success, so --threads finally reports the counters and renders
-n --delete lines.
Also normalize the -n --delete would-delete enumeration's absolute basis
prefixes exactly like the real commit path (fixing an over-report) and fix the
basis_delete_relative off-by-one when the receive root is '/'. Unit tests
cover the root mapping and the basis protection; integration tests cover
matched/deleted stats for both receivers and the --threads dry-run delete
lines.
- --chmod no longer implies --preserve-perms; repeated --chmod options
accumulate, and D/F/X selectors plus s/t special bits are supported with
rsync's exact parse_chmod/tweak_mode semantics.
- Stop masking group/other write and setuid/setgid/sticky: -p copies the
source mode exactly, no-p new entries use source&~umask, directories keep
setgid/sticky, and special nodes follow the same rules.
- Apply ownership before mode on the fd path so a chown cannot clear the
setuid/setgid bits -p just restored (rsync order).
- Update unit and integration tests, including differential checks against
rsync 3.4.1.
Address review findings on feat/rsync-parity:
- confine --temp-dir below the receive root (reject absolute/.. like
backup-dir/partial-dir); keep EXDEV non-atomic fallback
- floor server session I/O deadlines at SERVER_IO_TIMEOUT_SEC (60s) and
install it on the socket layer at startup (slow-loris)
- charge each --delete-missing-args directory removal once and clamp the
extras-walk remaining budget so it can never underflow past --max-delete
- normalize --compress-choice=auto to zstd client-side and accept it on
receive so auto transfers no longer fail
- map received --max-alloc=0 to MAX_SERVER_ALLOC (receive path only)
- zero File.dest_state; include log-file-format in report_dest_info;
add STATUS_DELETE_LIMIT name; recognize --skip-compress as a
separate-value option; OOM-guard send_list_only root entry; drop the
dead -M= branch; record the bare relative protected prefix for -R
size-prunes in both scanners; refresh delete-manifest comment
- pin the rsync tarball sha256 and bump integrator image to v11
Tests: temp-dir rejection/relative/cross-device, server timeout floor,
delete-missing dir budget regression, compress-choice=auto e2e,
max-alloc=0 receive mapping, dest_state, report_dest_info modes,
skip-compress dash value, -M short forms, -R root size-prune mirror
protection (rsync 3.4.1 confirmed).
- #286: --numeric-ids is a mapping modifier only; it no longer activates
chown by itself (identity_active_enabled/owner/group predicates), and
--fake-super stores the resolved mapping instead of real-chowning.
- #286: apply owner/group to directories via the deferred directory
metadata path; capture+transmit+apply directory xattrs/ACLs (-aX/-aA),
including default ACLs, in STATUS_MKDIR/STATUS_DIR_TIMES.
- #294: --usermap/--groupmap support inclusive ranges, '*', empty FROM
(unnamed ids), and receiver-side TO name resolution; --chown mixing with
a same-side map is rejected like rsync.
- Protocol 2.22.0 -> 2.23.0 (map wire entry gains from_hi + to_name;
dir frames gain a bounded xattr block).
#287:
- --safe-links: keep safe in-tree links AS symlinks and skip unsafe
(absolute or ".."-escaping) ones, mirroring rsync's unsafe_symlink().
Skipped links are recorded as delete-protected so --delete does not
remove their destination mirror (no silent data loss).
- --copy-unsafe-links: preserve safe links as symlinks and dereference
only unsafe ones.
- --munge-links: receiver-side rewrite storing /rsyncd-munged/-prefixed
targets (rsync parity), replacing the no-op #SYMLINK sender prefix.
- -l: store the target verbatim, including absolute and ".." targets
(rsync -l parity); the old receiver containment silently dropped them.
#288:
- --specials: recreate unix-domain sockets via mknod(S_IFSOCK), which
Linux permits unprivileged; keep EEXIST/EPERM skip behavior.
- --copy-devices: copy a device's content into a regular file when
requested; skip unrequested non-regular entries like rsync's default.
Split FastSync's single use_metadata bundle into four independent rsync-parity attributes: preserve_perms, preserve_times, preserve_owner, preserve_group. use_metadata is now a derived transport bit (config_derived_use_metadata).
CLI: real -p/--perms, -t/--times, -o/--owner, -g/--group plus --no-perms/--no-times/--no-owner/--no-group (short and long) and --no-preserve; -a is now rsync -rlptgoD; --preserve = -pt; -A implies -p; -X does not; --chmod implies -p; --usermap/--groupmap/--chown imply owner/group per side; --incremental/--delta still auto-preserve unless negated.
Receiver: per-attribute FileAttrPolicy gating for files, dirs (modes applied at end of transfer), symlinks and specials; rsync -E read-bit rule; new files get source_mode & ~umask sanitized (no group/other write); per-side identity resolution; deferred directory metadata; batch dir-metadata replay; daemon modules without 'client owner = yes' no longer refuse plain -a but force super off (no ownership) with a warning.
Wire: PROTOCOL_VERSION 2.21.0 -> 2.22.0 (four appended config bools, golden 653 / 95530566005420798). FileMetadata/chunk/batch framing unchanged. Docs/CHANGELOG/CMake updated to 2.22.0.
Address confirmed receiver security findings B1-B6:
B1 (HIGH): add O_NONBLOCK to the three receiver read-opens that opened an
existing destination/basis entry before the S_ISREG gate
(incremental_check_open_destination, basis_open_regular, hardlink_read_source)
so a client-planted FIFO can no longer block the receive thread forever while
the post-open type gate still rejects it.
B2 (HIGH/MED): --inplace now fstatat(AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW)-probes the target and
refuses any existing non-regular entry, opens with O_NONBLOCK, and re-checks
S_ISREG on the opened fd. This stops a FIFO from hanging the open and stops a
char/block device from being written directly (bypassing --write-devices).
B3 (MED): under --dry-run the incremental quick-skip no longer reads/hashes the
destination file for --checksum/--delta; it decides from metadata only and
reports would-transfer when the comparison is inconclusive, closing the
read-only-module content-hash oracle.
B4 (LOW): xattr_name_appliable() now gates the two system.posix_acl_* names on
preserve_acls (--acls), not the derived use_xattrs (--xattrs OR --acls). The
receiver drops (never applies) ACL entries when -A was not negotiated while
keeping user.* working for -X.
B5 (INFO): receive_manifest_section() charges a per-entry overhead against
MAX_MANIFEST_BYTES and the aggregate entry count across all three sections is
capped at MAX_MANIFEST_ENTRIES.
B6 (MED): data_charge_session() reserves decompressed/chunk-copy bytes against
the owning ProtocolSession (MAX_CONNECTION_MEMORY) and records them on the Data
so data_destroy() releases them via the Data.owner path. Applied to the
whole-file/append/delta decompression sites and chunk_deserialize() per-file
copies; a missing session owner degrades to the previous uncharged behavior.
Tests: FIFO destination/basis non-hang (with alarm), --inplace FIFO/device
refusal, dry-run no-read oracle test plus updated metadata-only dry-run tests,
ACL-without--acls drop, manifest total-entry cap, and chunk session charging.
- file: open -K dirlink referents via a race-safe relative O_NOFOLLOW walk
from the authorized-root fd instead of re-opening an absolute realpath()
result (removes the intermediate-symlink swap TOCTOU).
- transport_ssh: always single-quote the server path, including --old-args,
so no mode can inject shell metacharacters.
- transport_tls: set SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION and (guarded) SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION.
- credentials: reject --password-file/--early-input with any group/other
permission bit; chmod 0600 the affected test fixtures.
- file_store: export file_store_write_sparse() and remove the verbatim
file.c duplicate.
Wave D of Phase 7. Make -O/--omit-dir-times and -J/--omit-link-times real by
preserving directory and symlink times, and mark --secluded-args as an explicit
Impossible/Divergence no-op.
Wire: PROTOCOL_VERSION 2.16.0 -> 2.17.0. Adds a terminal STATUS_DIR_TIMES frame
(int count + (wire path, metadata) pairs) sent after all file data and the
optional delete manifest. STATUS_MKDIR also carries metadata for --dirs entries.
Config-frame layout is unchanged.
Sender: the recursive scanner captures every traversed source directory (both
DirectoryScanner and the parallel scanner root + workers, appends mutex-guarded)
into a shared list; the single-threaded and -m paths transmit it last.
Receiver: a DirTimeList accumulates received directory metadata and applies it
with fd-relative no-follow utimensat only at the very end -- after all children,
after the commit-style --delete, and after --delay-updates publication -- in the
single-threaded success frame and in server.c after the -m threads join. -O skips
the application. Symlink metadata is applied at link creation with
utimensat/fchownat/fchmodat AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW; -J suppresses only link times.
identity_apply_ownership_link shares the identity resolver with the fd path.
Docs: -O/-J rows -> Implemented; --secluded-args -> Impossible/Divergence;
--protocol accepted/rejected values and Phase-6/7 notes updated.
Tests: unit (scanner dir capture, DirTimeList apply, symlink metadata, protocol
version values) and integration (dir mtime round-trip + -O, symlink mtime
round-trip + -J, independent suppression), parameterized over single/multithread.
- fake_super_restore_fd now sanitizes mode like metadata_mode (never grants
S_IWGRP|S_IWOTH; 0666 -> 0644), fixing a privilege regression
- --sparse takes precedence over --preallocate (skip posix_fallocate when
sparse) so holes are not re-allocated; docs corrected
- --partial retention disabled under --no_replace (ignore/existing) and only
marks write_attempted after the write begins (no empty-temp retention)
- accept --block-size=SIZE / --delta-block=SIZE inline forms; neutral messages
- fake-super EPERM/EACCES skipped silently (docs aligned); EINVAL still logged
- sparse unit test now memcmp's the full buffer; TestBlockSize integration keeps
the destination basis so delta is genuinely exercised
- unit 37/37, cppcheck 0, clang-format 0
- write_all_sparse: skips all-zero runs >= 4096 bytes via lseek(SEEK_CUR) and
ftruncates the final size, wired into the atomic temp+rename and --inplace
paths with no wire change (full image already in memory).
- --partial retention: on a save failure after the temp held data, rename the
already-written temp to the destination path (best-effort; falls through to
unlink; never retains when --partial is off) so --append/--append-verify can
resume; tested by forcing futimens EINVAL with an out-of-range nsec.
- --block-size aliases --delta-block; verified config->delta_block_size is
honored by the delta engine end-to-end (unit + integration tests).
- fake_super_restore_fd: parses and re-applies user.fastsync.stat fd-relative
(fchown best-effort/non-root skipped, fchmod, futimens); a save under
--fake-super now both records and re-applies.
- -N/--crtimes and --stderr=client promoted to a new 'Impossible/Divergence'
status bucket (Summary: 136/2/4/3/2 = 147).
- cppcheck/clang-format clean; unit 37/37; integration 407 passed.
Capture+transmit source atime (pre-read stat; O_NOATIME sender guard) and birth
time (statx STATX_BTIME); receiver restores atime with mtime (crtime not settable
portably -> transmitted, explicitly not applied). --open-noatime is client-only.
-O/-J documented as accepted no-ops (FastSync never preserves dir/symlink times).
Wire: metadata frame gains atime/crtime val+sec+nsec; PROTOCOL_VERSION
2.11.0->2.12.0. Review fixes: gate atime capture to Linux (no epoch clobber on
non-Linux), close fd on fdopen failure, honest -O/-J status (Compat no-op).
Receiver allocates the destination file's full size before streaming data
(posix_fallocate preferred, ftruncate fallback on EOPNOTSUPP/ENOSYS) so an
out-of-space transfer fails fast instead of partway. Additive config bool
crossing the wire; PROTOCOL_VERSION 2.10.0 -> 2.11.0. Threaded through all
store paths (atomic, inplace, partial/delay-updates staging, link-dest copy
fallback). Review hardening: explicit lseek(0) before the data write so
correctness does not depend on posix_fallocate leaving the fd offset unchanged.
RSYNC_COMPAT Phase-2 row M: path-list construction and destination
directory creation while preserving traversal safety.
- -R/--relative with --files-from: transmit each listed entry under its
bare relative destination path (no source-root mirror). Files keep an
absolute local read path plus a separate wire/dest path (File.send_path);
manifest, incremental quick-check and change output follow the wire path,
so --delete and --remove-source-files stay consistent. -R without
--files-from is unchanged (full mirror).
- --no-implied-dirs: client-only, only meaningful with -R + --files-from.
A listed file whose parent dir is not itself (or via an ancestor)
explicitly listed cannot be placed; the run fails up front with a clear
error. No effect otherwise.
- --dirs/-d + --old-dirs/--old-d aliases: -d <dir> transmits the source
root as an explicit empty directory entry (STATUS_MKDIR frame); with
--files-from listed dirs are created empty and listed files transferred,
never descending. Works single-threaded, -m (sequential scanner in the
-m scan thread) and chunk-serialization (per-file type marker).
Directory entries appear in the delete manifest.
- --mkpath: new wire bool; server creates the destination root (and missing
leading components under its authorized root) at connection start. A
missing destination root is now rejected by default.
- Protocol bumped to 2.7.0 (mkpath wire field + STATUS_MKDIR + chunk type
marker). All receive paths funnel through file_save_to_disk_full which
creates directories via the secure confined mkdir engine; dir entries are
excluded from --remove-source-files outcome acknowledgements on both ends.
- Unit coverage: CLI parse (relative/dirs aliases/mkpath/no-implied-dirs),
config round-trip (relative + mkpath), scanner --dirs non-recursion and
-R send_path (sequential + parallel), receiver dir-entry save.
- Integration coverage: TestRelativeFilesFrom, TestNoImpliedDirs, TestDirs,
TestMkpath (single and -m).
- RSYNC_COMPAT: 4 rows move to Implemented (Summary 67/3/5/1/71 = 147).
#251 --remove-source-files deletes sources that were skipped receiver-side
(--existing/--ignore-existing/--update). The receiver now reports a
per-file outcome for every processed data file when the sender requests
removal; the client only unlinks sources the receiver actually wrote.
add remove_source_files to the wire config and bump the protocol to 2.5.0.
#252 --backup/--suffix/--backup-dir broken by NULL-vs-empty wire loss. Receivers
canonicalize the empty wire string back to NULL for backup_dir, temp_dir,
partial_dir and suffix, and --suffix is received unconditionally.
#253 --partial --partial-dir never installed completed files. file_save_to_disk
now renames a fully written partial-dir file into the real destination.
#255 STATUS_CHECK read the entire old file before the size/mtime quick check.
Old contents are only read when a checksum compare or delta needs them.
#256 receive_delta_file failure paths did not set *failed, so the caller sent
STATUS_NEXT and waited for a body that never came. Every NULL return now
marks the transfer failed.
#257 files >64 MiB could not transfer. Whole-file receive caps raised to the
256 MiB connection/allocation ceiling (chunk caps stay 64 MiB) and the
client ignores SIGPIPE so a server-side close surfaces as a clean error.
Unit tests added: config NULL-vs-empty round trip, incremental quick-check
skip/NEXT paths, delta oversize failure, partial-dir install, save-result
skip reporting.
The --inplace branch opened the destination with O_WRONLY|O_CREAT (no
O_TRUNC) and only restored metadata when the sender supplied it. Two
flaws resulted:
1. An existing destination file kept its original mode when no metadata
was sent, so setuid/setgid/sticky bits survived an overwrite (a root
sync could leave a root-owned setuid binary controlled by a client).
2. A shorter payload left stale trailing bytes from the previous version
because the file was never truncated to the new length.
In the inplace branch of file_to_disk_secure_impl:
- Always trim the file to the new payload length (ftruncate after the
write) so stale trailing bytes can never survive; sparse targets keep
their pre-size ftruncate.
- Always normalize the mode after a successful overwrite: apply the
metadata-derived safe mode when metadata is present (as before), else
fchmod to a safe default 0644, so setuid/setgid/sticky are cleared in
both cases.
- The --update newer-destination check still runs before any truncation
or chmod, preserving the skip semantics.
Adds unit tests in test_file.c: (a) setuid/sticky bits on an existing
destination are cleared after an inplace write with and without metadata,
(b) a shorter inplace payload leaves no trailing stale bytes.
The Phase 1 merge conflict resolutions introduced formatting that failed
the CI lint job (clang-format 18.1.3). Reformatted with the exact CI
version; no functional changes.
