[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup v4 0/5] refactor datastore locking to use tmpfs

[Stefan Sterz]

The first commit fixes a bug in the `BackupGroup`'s
`relative_group_path()` method. It would return the full path instead
of a path relative to a datastore. Since this function wasn't used
before this series, afaict, this fix should be unproblematic.

The rests of this series refactors the locking mechanism inside the
`DataStore`, `BackupDir` and `BackupGroup traits. In a first step
locking methods are added and the existing code is refactored to use
them.  Commit three uses the fixed `relative_group_path()` method to
derive a lock file name under '/run' for each group/snapshot. It also
adds double stat'ing.

The fourth commit refactors locking for manifests and brings it
in-line with the group/snapshot locks. Finally the fifth commit fixes
a race condition when changing the owner of a datastore.

As far as I can tell, the addition of namespaces did not create a need
for more locking.

changes from v3:
* moved patch 2 to the front so it can be applied separatelly more
  easily
* rebased on current master

changes from v2:

* different encoding scheme for lock file names
* refactored locking methods to be used by the new BackupDir and
  BackupGroup traits
* adapted lock file names to include namespaces

changes from v1 (thanks @ Wolfgang Bumiller & Thomas Lamprecht):

* split adding locking helpers and move '/run' into two commits
* instead of stat'ing the path of lock file twice, only use the file
  descriptor for one of the stat'ing procedures instead
* several improvements to helper functions and documentation
