When the context used for a load operation is canceled, then the result
is always an error independent of whether the file could be retrieved
from the backend. Do not false positively trip the circuit breaker in
this case.
The old behavior was problematic when trying to lock a repository. When
`Lock.checkForOtherLocks` listed multiple lock files in parallel and one
of them fails to load, then all other loads were canceled. This
cancelation was remembered by the circuit breaker, such that locking
retries would fail.
Calls to `List(ctx, ...)` are usually stopped by canceling the context
once no further entries are required by the caller. Thus, don't log the
final error if the used context was canceled.
Previously, if an operation failed after 15 minutes, then it would never
be retried. This means that large backend requests are more unreliable
than smaller ones.
Depending on how long an operation takes to fail, the total retry
duration can currently vary between 1.5 and 15 minutes. In particular
for temporarily interrupted network connections, the former timeout is
too short. Thus always use a limit of 15 minutes.
If a file exhausts its retry attempts, then it is likely not accessible
the next time. Thus, immediately fail all load calls for that file to
avoid useless retries.
The Test method was only used in exactly one place, namely when trying
to create a new repository it was used to check whether a config file
already exists.
Use a combination of Stat() and IsNotExist() instead.
The ioutil functions are deprecated since Go 1.17 and only wrap another
library function. Thus directly call the underlying function.
This commit only mechanically replaces the function calls.
The RetryBackend tests depend on the mock backend. When the Backend
interface is eventually split from the restic package, this will lead to
a dependency cycle between backend and backend/mock. Thus split the
RetryBackend into a separate package to avoid this problem.
