Motivation:
Forget and BatchForget in pkg/repository/manager/manager.go accept a
caller-provided context.Context but ignore it, hardcoding
context.Background() when calling into the repository provider. This
means cancellation and timeouts set by callers (e.g. the backup
deletion controller) are silently dropped during repository connection
and snapshot deletion. Additionally, BatchForget returned a wrapped nil
instead of the real connection error when prd.BoostRepoConnect failed,
because it referenced an unrelated, already-nil err variable instead of
connectErr.
Approach:
Pass the caller's ctx through to prd.BoostRepoConnect, prd.Forget, and
prd.BatchForget in both Forget and BatchForget, instead of substituting
context.Background(). Fix BatchForget's connection-failure branch to
wrap and return connectErr instead of the stale err. Other methods on
manager (InitRepo, ConnectToRepo, PrepareRepo, PruneRepo, UnlockRepo)
don't accept a ctx parameter at all, so they are unaffected and out of
scope for this change.
Validation:
- go build ./pkg/repository/... and go build ./... pass.
- go vet ./pkg/repository/... is clean.
- go test ./pkg/repository/... passes, including three new tests added
to pkg/repository/manager/manager_test.go.
- golangci-lint run ./pkg/repository/... is clean.
- Confirmed the new tests reproduce both bugs: temporarily reverting
only manager.go and re-running go test ./pkg/repository/manager/...
made all three new tests fail (missing propagated context value and
cancellation, and a nil error returned where the real connect error
was expected); re-applying the fix makes them pass. This is a silent
behavior bug (broken context propagation and a swallowed error), not
a crash.
