`self.accounts.read().await.get_all()` acquires a read lock
and does not release it until the end of `for` loop.
After that, a writer may get into the queue,
e.g. because of the concurrent `add_account` call.
In this case `let context_option = self.accounts.read().await.get_account(id);`
tries to acquire another read lock and deadlocks
because tokio RwLock is write-preferring and will not
give another read lock while there is a writer in the queue.
At the same time, writer never gets a write lock
because the first read lock is not released.
The fix is to get a single read lock
for the whole `get_all_accounts()` call.
This is described in <https://docs.rs/tokio/1.44.1/tokio/sync/struct.RwLock.html#method.read>:
"Note that under the priority policy of RwLock, read locks are not
granted until prior write locks, to prevent starvation. Therefore
deadlock may occur if a read lock is held by the current task, a write
lock attempt is made, and then a subsequent read lock attempt is made by
the current task."
This API allows to explicitly set
a name of the contact
instead of trying to create a new contact
with the same address.
Not all contacts are identified
by the email address
and we are going to introduce
contacts identified by their keys.
Four new APIs `add_transport_from_qr()`, `add_transport()`,
`list_transports()`, `delete_transport()`, as described in the draft at
"API".
The `add_tranport*()` APIs automatically stops and starts I/O; for
`configure()` the stopping and starting is done in the JsonRPC bindings,
which is not where things like this should be done I think, the bindings
should just translate the APIs.
This also completely disables AEAP for now.
I won't be available for a week, but if you want to merge this already,
feel free to just commit all review suggestions and squash-merge.
WebSocket support is not used
and is not maintained. It still uses
outdated axum 0.7 version
and does not have any authentication.
Delta Chat Desktop has a new browser target
that implements WebSocket support on top
of stdio server, supports blobs
and is tested in CI.
This makes it so that files will be deduplicated when using the JsonRPC
API.
@nicodh and @WofWca you know the Desktop code and how it is using the
API, so, you can probably tell me whether this is a good way of changing
the JsonRPC code - feel free to push changes directly to this PR here!
This PR here changes the existing functions instead of creating new
ones; we can alternatively create new ones if it allows for a smoother
transition.
This brings a few changes:
- If you pass a file that is already in the blobdir, it will be renamed
to `<hash>.<extension>` immediately (previously, the filename on the
disk stayed the same)
- If you pass a file that's not in the blobdir yet, it will be copied to
the blobdir immediately (previously, it was copied to the blobdir later,
when sending)
- If you create a file and then pass it to `create_message()`, it's
better to directly create it in the blobdir, since it doesn't need to be
copied.
- You must not write to the files after they were passed to core,
because otherwise, the hash will be wrong. So, if Desktop recodes videos
or so, then the video file mustn't just be overwritten. What you can do
instead is write the recoded video to a file with a random name in the
blobdir and then create a new message with the new attachment. If
needed, we can also create a JsonRPC for `set_file_and_deduplicate()`
that replaces the file on an existing message.
In order to test whether everything still works, the desktop issue has a
list of things to test:
