The first rotation is normally the one still opened by one or more
processes for writing, so it must NOT be replaced, removed, ..., as
this then makes the remaining logging, until those processes are
noticed that they should reopen the logfile due to rotation, goes
into nirvana, which is far from ideal for a log.
Only rotating (renaming) is OK for this active file, as this does not
invalidates the file and keeps open FDs intact.
So start compressing with the second rotation, which should be clear
to use, as all writers must have been told to reopen the log during
the last rotation, reopen is a fast operation and normally triggered
at least day ago (at least if one did not dropped the state file
manually), so we are fine to archive that one for real.
If we plan to allow faster rotation the whole rotation+reopen should
be locked, so that we can guarantee that all writers switched over,
but this is unlikely to be needed.

Add a generous limit now and return the correct error (414 URI Too
Long). Otherwise we could to pretty larger GET requests, 64 KiB and
possible bigger (at 64 KiB my simple curl test failed due to
shell/curl limitations).
For now allow a 3072 characters as combined length of URI path and
query.
This is conform with the HTTP/1.1 RFCs (e.g., RFC 7231, 6.5.12 and
RFC 2616, 3.2.1) which do not specify any limits, upper or lower, but
require that all server accessible resources mus be reachable without
getting 414, which is normally fulfilled as we have various length
limits for stuff which could be in an URI, in place, e.g.:
* user id: max. 64 chars
* datastore: max. 32 chars
The only known problematic API endpoint is the catalog one, used in
the GUI's pxar file browser:
GET /api2/json/admin/datastore/<id>/catalog?..&filepath=<path>
The <path> is the encoded archive path, and can be arbitrary long.
But, this is a flawed design, as even without this new limit one can
easily generate archives which cannot be browsed anymore, as hyper
only accepts requests with max. 64 KiB in the URI.
So rather, we should move that to a GET-as-POST call, which has no
such limitations (and would not need to base32 encode the path).
Note: This change was inspired by adding a request access log, which
profits from such limits as we can then rely on certain atomicity
guarantees when writing requests to the log.

If a fuse_loop instance dies suddenly (e.g. SIGKILL), the FUSE mount and

on specific unmap, when the PID file is either missing or contains a PID
of a non-running process, but the backing file and potentially loop

If that's the case, do an "emergency cleanup", by unassigning the
loopdev, calling 'fusermount -u' and then cleaning any leftover files

Allows mapping fixed-index .img files (usually from VM backups) to be
mapped to a local loopback device.
The architecture uses a FUSE-backed temp file mapped to a loopdev:
/dev/loopX -> FUSE /run/pbs-loopdev/xxx -> backup client -> PBS
Since unmapping requires some cleanup (unmap the loopdev, stop FUSE,
remove the temp files) a special 'unmap' command is added, which uses a
PID file to send SIGINT to the backup-client instance started with
'map', which will handle the cleanup itself.
The polling with select! in mount.rs needs to be split in two, since we
have a chicken and egg problem between running FUSE and setting up the
loop device - so we need to do them concurrently, until the loopdev is
assigned, at which point we can report success and daemonize, and then
continue polling the FUSE loop future.
A loopdev module is added to tools containing all required functions for
mapping a loop device to the FUSE file, with the ioctls moved into an
inline module to avoid exposing them directly.
The client code is placed in the 'mount' module, which, while
admittedly a loose fit, allows reuse of the daemonizing code.

This can slow things down by a lot on setups with (relatively) high
seek time, in the order of doubling the backup times if cache isn't
populated with the last backups chunk inode info.
Effectively there's nothing known this protects us from in the
codebase. The only thing which was theorized about was the case
where a really long running backup job (over 24 hours) is still
running and writing new chunks, not indexed yet anywhere, then an
update (or manual action) triggers a reload of the proxy. There was
some theory that then a GC in the new daemon would not know about the
oldest writer in the old one, and thus use a less strict atime limit
for chunk sweeping - opening up a window for deleting chunks from the
long running backup.
But, this simply cannot happen as we have a per datastore process
wide flock, which is acquired shared by backup jobs and exclusive by
GC. In the same process GC and backup can both get it, as it has a
process locking granularity. If there's an old daemon with a writer,
that also has the lock open shared, and so no GC in the new process
can get exclusive access to it.
So, with that confirmed we have no need for a "half-assed"
verification in the backup finish step. Rather, we plan to add an
opt-in "full verify each backup on finish" option (see #2988)
