fix(common): write file cache downloads atomically via temp file and rename - #2242
Conversation
…rename FileCache::write_through created the content-addressed file in place and streamed into it. A stream error left partial bytes under the pinned hash, and a concurrent fetcher could read the truncated file while the download was still in flight. Stream into a uniquely named temp file in the same sha directory, fsync it, verify the SHA-256, and only then rename it onto the final path. The temp file is removed on every error path. A write error now returns an I/O error instead of panicking. Closes #1577

Explanation
Issue
#1577requires digest verification before publication and no partial file at the content-addressed path. The diff implements these requirements with a temporary file, SHA-256 verification, rename, cleanup, and tests for stream errors and in-flight readers. The diff does not compareContent-Lengthwith received bytes, retry truncated downloads, or review and adjust fixed fetch timeouts for large sources. The PR description explicitly excludes these requirements.Resolution

A rabbit watches bytes arrive,
In temp-file burrows, hashes thrive.
A matching sum unlocks the door,
A mismatch leaves no trace in store.
The cache shows only whole-file cheer,
And long names fit without a fear.
The rabbit hops, its cache path clear.

226-228: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winFsync the parent directory after
persist.The code fsyncs the temp file before the rename. It does not fsync the containing directory after
tmp.persist. After a power loss, the rename can be lost even though the file data is durable.read_cachedthen sees a cache miss and downloads the file again. The loss is recoverable, but the directory fsync is cheap and completes the atomic-publish sequence.Proposed fix
tmp.persist(&cached_path) .map_err(|e| Either::Left(e.error.into()))?; + fs::File::open(&dir) + .and_then(|d| d.sync_all()) + .map_err(|e| Either::Left(e.into()))?; Ok(cached_path)Based on learnings: "open the containing directory read-only and fsync it after the rename".

…ll fit The temp name was the filename plus 13 bytes, so a URL basename between about 243 and 255 bytes failed with ENAMETOOLONG where main cached it. A fixed .dl. prefix keeps the temp name short; the sha dir already scopes it.
…ails The directory fsync makes the rename durable; it does not guard integrity, since read_cached re-hashes every read. Some filesystems refuse a directory fsync, so an error there must not turn a verified download into a failure.

arch-review: PASS · the full ruling
This change conforms to the design. AT2 in the supply-chain threat model needs a hash check of every tarball, and the check must fail closed. Now a download goes to a temp file. The file is renamed onto the content-addressed path only after its SHA-256 matches. Unverified bytes never show under the hash, and the hash check still fails closed. There are no conditions.

The write path is right: temp file in the sha directory, fsync, hash check, then persist and a directory fsync, with the temp file dropped on every early return and the stream-error unwrap gone. The in-flight test pins the property that matters, that a concurrent reader never sees a partial file under the hash. The fixed temp prefix for the NAME_MAX case is a nice touch.
…rename (#2242) FileCache::write_through created the content-addressed file in place and streamed into it. A stream error left partial bytes under the pinned hash, and a concurrent fetcher could read the truncated file while the download was in flight. It now streams into a uniquely named temp file in the same sha directory, fsyncs it, verifies the SHA-256, and only then renames it onto the final path. The temp file goes on every error path, and a write error returns an I/O error instead of panicking. A failed fsync of the directory warns and does not fail the download. Backport of #2242. Applied without adaptation. (cherry picked from commit 40420c9)

What
FileCache::write_through(crates/common/src/file_cache.rs) now streams a download into auniquely named temp file (
.dl.XXXXXX.part) in the same sha directory, fsyncs it,verifies the SHA-256, and only then renames it onto the content-addressed path, then fsyncs the
sha directory so the rename survives a crash. The temp prefix is fixed, so a filename near NAME_MAX
still fits. The temp file
is removed on every error path (stream error, write error, hash mismatch). A failed write now
returns an I/O error instead of panicking on
unwrap().Why
The old code created the final
<sha>/<filename>path up front and streamed into it in place.A stream error mid-download returned early and left partial bytes under the pinned hash, and
while any download was in flight a concurrent fetcher could see and use a truncated file
under that hash. With the rename, readers see either nothing or the whole verified file.
Renaming over an existing entry is safe because it holds the same verified bytes.
I checked the other hash-keyed writers in the workspace.
FileCache::write_throughis the onlyproduction writer into the download cache:
remote_storage.rsgoes through it, and the otherFile::createsites next to sha256 code (crates/op/src/sources.rs,crates/minimal/src/diag/upload.rs) are test-only. This PR changes nothing else.Closes #1577

.partfile in the sha directory. It never sits at the hashed filename, so nothing reads it as the
artifact.
