The unreleased native-restore fixes after RELEASE.2026-10-26T00-00-00Z
let the lock decide who owns a restore. Since fa42a0982 a single-pool
worker holds the object lock for the whole tier download, and since
7f38bf628 a busy lock means "a restore runs". 7f38bf628 also keeps the
restore's data in a marked multipart upload. Two regressions followed:
- While an old version restored, every GET, HEAD and write of the same
key waited for the download. On a single pool this is new; with
several pools the released code already held the lock that long.
- An ordinary upload whose completion failed after staging its metadata
became InvalidUploadID for every caller, and could not be aborted for
an hour. The marker that hid restore uploads could not tell them apart
once a completion had rewritten the upload's xl.meta.
A restore now runs in two phases:
- The worker erasure-codes the tier copy into the tmp volume of the
version's set, without the object lock, as heal does. A drive that
fails any part, or misses a part when CheckParts runs before the
commit, takes no part in the commit.
- A restore lock per version tells whether a restore runs. POST takes it
before the object lock and hands it to the worker. It is a liveness
hint: only the checks under the object lock decide what is written.
- The commit takes the object lock briefly, on one pool or several. It
reads the version again and checks the attempt's ownership, the
version identity, the tier copy, the part layout and the erasure
layout. It then publishes with RenameData drive by drive, never
through erasure renameData's undo, and needs the write quorum. The
replaced data directory goes only when every published drive reports
the same one.
- A publication that reached some drives but not the write quorum
converges under the same lock hold, in bounded retries after it: back
to the unrestored version on every drive that holds it, or to a
committed restore when the copy turns out to be on a write quorum.
Each pass first checks that every drive holds what the version held
before the commit, the commit wrote, or a convergence wrote, and stops
on anything else. It deletes no directory.
Multipart goes back to main: erasure-multipart.go and
bucket-object-lock.go are identical to 69fcf50cd. The commit lock, the
marker and the restore exceptions of multipart completion and of the
null-version Object Lock check are gone, and single-pool completion
again takes the upload lock first and the object lock right before it
commits. With several pools, abandoned-data cleanup now takes the pools
lock that writes take, as heal does, so it cannot remove a directory
that a commit moved in place and has not yet referenced. The restore
capability becomes protocol 2, and a queued worker checks it again.
Recovery after a coordinator crash during publication, and storage RPCs
that complete after their caller returned, stay excluded. Main has the
same exposure, and they are tracked separately.
Tests:
- New regression tests cover both problems. They fail on f85d4a5fa,
and the multipart one also passes on main.
- Fault-injection tests cover a publication below the write quorum,
including seven of twelve drives on 8+4; lost answers; convergence
retries and stops; the old data directory; a stale inline marker; a
recreated tmp volume; a published revision read across its expiry; a
second POST; a target deleted during the download; a tier 404; and
pools-locked abandoned cleanup.
- Thirteen tests of the upload marker from 7f38bf628 are dropped, and
so is TestNativeRestoreConcurrentCompletion from fa42a0982, which
completed the restore's upload from a client. Four tests are reframed
for the new semantics, including the lock-domain restore test, which
now gates the commit.
- Three self-recursive WriteMetadata test doubles are fixed, and the
helpers of the dropped tests are removed.

The native-restore tests waited 10 seconds for steps that do real drive
work: metadata writes with synchronous persistence and renames on every
drive. A full suite run on a machine whose SSD was busy with another
decommission run failed TestRestoreUploadStagingFailsClosed/staged once
with "background restore did not finish"; about 430 reruns, under CPU and
fsync stress as well, passed.
The test uses local locks, and after its release the completion takes no
new namespace lock, so the bound is a liveness bound, not a latency
contract. All eight such waits in the native-restore tests now use one
restoreTestWait of one minute, and the background-restore helper prints
the goroutine stacks when it times out. Assertions that something must not
happen keep their own bounds.

Native restore chose its own single-pool lock in the object's erasure
set before the pools layer did. Now that every object write locks in
that domain through NewObjectNSLock, the restore lock is that lock.
Behavior is unchanged.

In a single pool, DELETE in every form, bulk delete, the CopyObject
destination, SelectObjectContent, batch key rotation and the upload-ID
guards of complete, abort, get-info and list-parts locked through the
first erasure set, while PUT, multipart commit, PutObjectPart, tag,
retention, legal-hold and metadata updates, restore, transition and heal
lock in the set the object hashes to. When the sets of a pool use
different hosts, as every automatic layout of 18 or more hosts does, the
two locks ask different lockers and do not exclude each other, and
concurrent read-modify-writes of xl.meta can lose acknowledged versions
and delete markers or leave an object on a minority of drives.
Route these locks through NewObjectNSLock, which returns the lock of
the object's own set in a single pool and the pools lock otherwise.
Upload guards choose the set by their object and keep the name
object/uploadID. True prefix deletion and the locks of names that are
not objects keep their domain.
Bulk delete groups its names by set and takes one set's lock at a time,
in ascending set index; a failed group fails alone. A single node, whose
sets share one local lock table, keeps its one bulk lock.
The COPY handler takes its source and destination locks before it opens
the source, sorted, and transactionally: bounded waits while holding a
lock, release in reverse order and retry with new lock instances, one
deadline. It reads the source under them, passes NoLock to every nested
call, and runs that work in the locks' context. This also removes a
deadlock of copies in opposite directions wherever both locks were in
one domain, such as a single node or several pools.
Lock names and RPCs are unchanged, but a pool is protected only when
every node runs this change: affected pools must be upgraded and rolled
back with a drained restart.

A native restore (POST ?restore, issue #281) marks the version ongoing,
and a background worker rehydrates it from the tier. The worker, its
upload and every status write could be reached or confused by other
callers. A public client could write into or complete the restore
upload. POST copied a whole metadata snapshot over newer protection
changes. An old or failed attempt could act on a newer one. Restore,
expiry and heal decided on whichever drive's metadata they read.
Each POST that starts a rehydration now writes an attempt ID into the
version's internal metadata, with the identity it resolved: version
ID, ETag, size and ModTime. The worker, its upload, its part writes and
its completion carry the attempt. A worker whose attempt no longer
owns the version stops without writing, completing or resetting. Every
write uses the versioning state and explicit version ID captured by
POST, so a null target stays null.
The restore upload carries an internal marker, decided over all drives.
Public multipart calls answer NoSuchUpload and listings hide it. An
unknown marker fails closed. A completion holds a commit lock from
staging its commit in the upload until the commit ends. Stale cleanup
decides on every upload past the stale age under that lock, and keeps
it until its rename ends, also past the drive deadline. Abort of a
committing upload takes the lock and removes a failed commit's
leftover only when every copy is staged and older than one hour.
POST, the worker, the reset, the ExpireRestored recheck and heal all
decide on the authoritative revision of the exact version. That is the
revision held by max(n/2+1, read quorum) drives, identified by the
version header and the normalized metadata digest. Status writes patch
only the restore fields of that revision. They write only the drives
that hold it, and put the old revision back on failure. Heal copies
restore fields only when a quorum holds the same fields.
A failed attempt resets itself with bounded in-memory retries. A later
POST takes over a stranded marker when no attempt runs. Otherwise it
answers RestoreAlreadyInProgress within a few seconds.
Older nodes do not know the marker. A new grid capability handler lets
the serving node ask every peer. POST answers 503 ServiceUnavailable
and writes nothing until all peers support native restore, and a
queued worker asks again before it creates its upload.
The single-pool lock-domain split between DELETE/CopyObject and restore
is closed by its own fix, which this change depends on.

remotePeerS3Client.HealBucket sent only the bucket name and the remove
flag, and HealBucketHandler built its heal options from those two
values. During a dry-run bucket heal every remote node therefore ran a
real one: it created the bucket directory on drives that lacked it, or
removed empty bucket directories when the bucket was missing from
every pool. Only the coordinating node honored DryRun.
Add a "dry-run" key to the peer message and read it into
HealOpts.DryRun on the receiving side, so healBucketLocal returns
before MakeVol and DeleteVol on every node. The message is a string
map: an older node ignores the key, and a missing key reads as false,
so a mixed-version cluster behaves as before until every node is
upgraded.
The regression calls the real client over a test grid connection to
the real handler. It fails on main, and it fails if either side of the
change is removed.

healObject handles a metadata read-quorum failure before its dry-run
return, so an admin heal with DryRun set still called deleteIfDangling.
When the drives without the version's xl.meta all answered "not found"
and outnumbered its parity blocks, the dry run deleted the version,
data directory included, from every drive that still held it. A
site-wide dry run reaches .minio.sys/config the same way.
When DryRun is set, return the quorum error with a set-level result
built from the observed read errors, before the purge. Real heals are
unchanged.
The production change is the first cmd/erasure-healing.go hunk of
PR #280, unchanged. The tests are the PR's dry-run tests that do not
depend on its parallel deep verification or its dry-run reporting
change; both stay out of this commit. The tests now assert the delete
counter first and the converted error for each quorum case, and drop
the CheckParts stub that only the excluded tests use.

The merged all-pool check from #279 decided on the versions that a read
quorum of each set merged non-strictly. A drive that missed one metadata
update could therefore supply the revision used for the decision, and a
partially unreadable set could drop a committed version from the history.
Both let an expiry delete data the rule did not cover, including a version
under legal hold.
- objectVersions accepts a revision only when max(n/2+1, the version's
metadata read quorum) drives hold it, identifies revisions by the header
plus a sha256 over a canonical, length-prefixed encoding of the
normalized metadata, filters non-accepted revisions before the strict
merge, and fails closed on omitted versions, too many unreadable drives,
or cancellation.
- Lock fields are read with the evaluator's key precedence. Cross-pool
copies that disagree on hold or retention must be strictly ordered by
valid timestamps; copies with different ModTime are separate writes and
an older protected write refuses the object. The set safeguard re-checks
protection and pending purges on its fresh read for checked version
deletes.
- Duplicate copies with semantically different replication or purge state
refuse the object.
- Batch expiry announces and audits only completed or already-absent
removals.
Reviewed adversarially over seven rounds; the final round approved with no
remaining findings in scope. All-versions expiry through deletePrefix and
tiered delete-all dispatch are tracked separately.

The expiry worker now asks DeleteObjects to recheck ILM against all
pools. A rejected entry keeps its version and returns
errLifecycleNotApplicable, but the worker still wrote an ILMExpiry
audit record, an ILM trace and an s3:ObjectRemoved:Delete event for it.
Event delivery drops the error element, so consumers saw an ordinary
removal, repeated on every scan while the versions stay split across
pools.
Skip rejected entries; eligible entries of the same batch are still
reported.

The POST handler marks a version ongoing before its background restore
takes the object lock, and only the restore clears that marker. Native
restore holds the lock through the tier download, so a restore of
another version of the same key waits behind it. Both restore entry
points gave up after one delete-operation timeout and returned before
any cleanup, leaving ongoing-request="true" with no owner. Every later
POST for that version was refused with 409 and nothing expired the
marker.
Retry the lock while the restore's context lives, with a dedicated
dynamic timeout so repeated waits do not lengthen delete timeouts.
Shutdown or a caller deadline still ends the wait.

Preserve handler version context, resolve the requested version's pool, and
return on the initial read failure without writing metadata. Propagate owned
NoLock to single-part writes, multipart completion and failure cleanup in
the same patch. Preserve the original modification time on cleanup.
Route the restore status copy by version and allow internal multipart
rehydration only for a matching completed transition. Single-pool restores
own the metadata snapshot through download and cleanup. Keep public
completion in object-before-upload order, using the target set's object
lock for single-pool calls, so concurrent completion cannot invert locks.
Cover real signed POSTs, null/UUID and cross-pool identity, download failures,
multipart overwrite guards, Object Lock updates and concurrent completion.
This package depends on the restored-copy cleanup safety delivered in R2.
