Subject: [PATCH proxmox-backup v3 05/15] fix #7642: avoid expensive user lookups on file locking
Date: Wed,  1 Jul 2026 16:04:02 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701140412.200920-6-c.ebner@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260701140412.200920-1-c.ebner@proxmox.com>

Currently each time a backup lock file is being acquired, the backup
user is looked in order to instantiate the create options used if the
lock file is not pre-existing, which requires knowledge of the uid
and gid. backup_user() internally however calls User::from_name(),
which itself uses getpwnam_r(3) [0] and therefore can involve
nsswitch.conf and /etc/passwd parsing, including several syscalls to
do so (see backtrace in linked issue).

Ideally proxmox_product_config::open_api_lockfile() would be used as
drop in replacement for open_backup_lockfile(), which is however not
possible until the currently required legacy locking fallback
implementation remains in place (to be dropped with PBS 5).
Therefore, only switch to
proxmox_product_config::lockfile_create_options() for the time being.
By this the api user as read on init is used for all file lock
operations using this helper.
