Add support for commands like:
ssh host cmd | proxmox-backup-client backup data.img:/dev/stdin
proxmox-backup-client backup a.img:<(mysqldump) b.img:<(pgdump)
Changes since v5:
Client:
- add IndexType::to_prefix_and_size helper and fix format string nit
- drop support for '-' but log helpful warnings
- fail early for duplicate pipes
- avoid calling poll_next on terminated streams
Server:
- mention why Arc<ChunkStore> can be removed from didx as well
- (Test)TempDir:
- add to parent mod in earlier commit
- drop "Test" from the name
- improved API so it could be moved to a crate (no unwrap in new,
no Deref, no impl From<&TempDir> for PathBuf)
- added tests
- reorder add_chunk commit before grow_to_size
- support reuse-csum with arbitrary sizes
- made up my mind on u32 vs u64 and reordered commits
- check that chunk_size is power of two
Robert Obkircher (18):
datastore: remove Arc<ChunkStore> from FixedIndexWriter
datastore: remove Arc<ChunkStore> from DynamicIndexWriter
datastore: add TempDir that is automatically deleted on drop
datastore: use temporary directory for chunk store test
datastore: combine public FixedIndexWriter methods into add_chunk
datastore: use fixed size types for FixedIndexWriter
datastore: verify that chunk_size is a power of two
datastore: support writing fidx files of unknown size
datastore: test FixedIndexWriter
api: backup: make fixed index file size optional
api: verify fixed index writer size on close
client: don't poll terminated source in FixedChunkStream
client: don't poll terminated source in ChunkStream
fix #3847: client: support fifo pipe inputs for image backups
client: Fail early if the same pipe is specified for multiple inputs
datastore: compute fidx file size with overflow checks
datastore: support writing fidx files on systems with larger page size
datastore: support incremental fidx uploads with different size

The ChunkStore reference can be safely removed, because it was only
needed for the base directory. As discussed previously in the context
of the DynamicIndexWriter [1], it is the callers responsibility to
ensure that the writer doesn't outlive any locks.
This simplifies testing the writer, which would otherwise require a
workaround to avoid creating 65k directories.

tests in the future.

This will be used to test the FixedIndexWriter and chunk store
creation.
PDM has a similar type called NamedTempDir, so it would make sense to
move this to a shared crate in the future.

Use the systems tmp directory instead of the package root, because the
latter might not always be writeable and because the created files
weren't even ignored by git.
This reduced the tests runtime from 3.2 to 0.6 seconds.

The file format is independent of the systems pointer size, so it is
better to use fixed size types.
For consistency with most other code, use u64 for the total content
size and u32 for the chunk size. Internally, the latter is also a u64
to avoid some casts and becasue that is what is stored in the header
anyway.

Guarantee that the bitmasks used to compute the modulo actually yield
the correct value and implicitly guard against divisions by zero.

Use mremap and ftruncate to support growable FixedIndexWriters. Grow
exponentially from a small initial index size and truncate excessive
capacity after encountering a non-full block or on close.

Write fixed and dynamically sized fidx files to a temporary directory.
Compare the resulting files directly (ignoring uuid and ctime bytes)
and also read them back using the reader.
The chunk hashes are just dummy values that don't actually exist in a
chunk store.

necessary.

Fix incorrect chunking when the input file is a pts character device
(stdin in an interactive terminal). Previously, the stream could
produce multiple smaller chunks from interactive input, and a single
Ctrl+D was not enough to terminate it. This was because a None from
the source resulted in Some partial chunk, but the next time the input
was polled again and it suddenly had more input.
The documentation of Stream::poll_next clearly states that calling it
on a terminated stream may panic, block forever, or cause other kinds
of problems, so this should be fixed even it it appeared to work with
normal files.
Using the fuse method or adding a FusedStream trait bound might be
nicer that seemed like a larger change compared to the boolean.

The ChunkStream may return a partial chunk after the input is done.
This is fine, but it must remember to not poll the input again when it
is polled one more time.
The DummyInput of the test case now verifies that it isn't polled
after it returned None.

represented in the UploadOptions using a new IndexType enum where the

The pipe needs to be closed to finish the first archive, so the second
one would always end up being empty.
Duplicates are detected using the device id and inode number of the
metadata. The inode number alone would not be sufficient for named
pipes in a specific file system.

Handle overflows and prevent potential inconsistencies by performing
the calcualtion in one place. This also serves as a preparation for
mmapping the entire file.

A file can only be memory mapped at an offset which is a multiple of
the page size. Mapping from the start avoids this issue and simplifies
writes to the header.
The content size is now written unconditionally on close, because the
OS writes the entire page anyway to persist the checksum.
This also removes a cast from a potentially insufficiently aligned u8
buffer to the header, which could have caused undefined behavior.

Copy as much as possible instead of requiring the index lengths to
match exactly. For resizable writers the capacity is increased
beforehand, but size and index length are only updated when chunks
are added or with the final size on close.
The partial chunk in the end is not tracked. It is the clients
responsibility to overwrite it if necessary.

Thanks for the pointer, the information where these operations are being
used should be folded into the commit message, that can however be done
when applying if nothing else comes up.

Good catch! Same issue is however also present for the dynamic
ChunkStream, so the safeguard should be added for it as well!
That can however be done as followup patch if nothing else comes up for
these patches.

Disregard this comment, did not see the next patch, which already does this!

This series has taken a really nice shape, got nothing to complain code
wise and works as expected!
Tested:
- several input stream variations, via pipe and command substitution
- restores produce the same byte stream as the input data
- char devices and pts are not allowed
- reading from /dev/stdin is not allowed to be duplicated
- subsequent backups work without issues
- backup and restore of images with given size such as for VMs are
unaffected
