2020-08-17connected: use buffered I/O to talk to rev-listRené Scharfe
Like f0bca72dc77 (send-pack: use buffered I/O to talk to pack-objects, 2016-06-08), significantly reduce the number of system calls and simplify the code for sending object IDs to rev-list by using stdio's buffering. Take care to handle errors immediately to get the correct error code, and to flush the buffer explicitly before closing the stream in order to catch any write errors for these last bytes.

2020-07-28strvec: fix indentation in renamed callsJeff King
Code which split an argv_array call across multiple lines, like: argv_array_pushl(&args, "one argument", "another argument", "and more", NULL); was recently mechanically renamed to use strvec, which results in mis-matched indentation like: strvec_pushl(&args, "one argument", "another argument", "and more", NULL); Let's fix these up to align the arguments with the opening paren. I did this manually by sifting through the results of: git jump grep 'strvec_.*,$' and liberally applying my editor's auto-format. Most of the changes are of the form shown above, though I also normalized a few that had originally used a single-tab indentation (rather than our usual style of aligning with the open paren). I also rewrapped a couple of obvious cases (e.g., where previously too-long lines became short enough to fit on one), but I wasn't aggressive about it. In cases broken to three or more lines, the grouping of arguments is sometimes meaningful, and it wasn't worth my time or reviewer time to ponder each case individually.

2020-07-28strvec: convert more callers away from argv_array nameJeff King
We eventually want to drop the argv_array name and just use strvec consistently. There's no particular reason we have to do it all at once, or care about interactions between converted and unconverted bits. Because of our preprocessor compat layer, the names are interchangeable to the compiler (so even a definition and declaration using different names is OK). This patch converts remaining files from the first half of the alphabet, to keep the diff to a manageable size. The conversion was done purely mechanically with: git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' | xargs perl -i -pe ' s/ARGV_ARRAY/STRVEC/g; s/argv_array/strvec/g; ' and then selectively staging files with "git add '[abcdefghjkl]*'". We'll deal with any indentation/style fallouts separately. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2020-06-11fetch-pack: support more than one pack lockfileJonathan Tan
Whenever a fetch results in a packfile being downloaded, a .keep file is generated, so that the packfile can be preserved (from, say, a running "git repack") until refs are written referring to the contents of the packfile. In a subsequent patch, a successful fetch using protocol v2 may result in more than one .keep file being generated. Therefore, teach fetch_pack() and the transport mechanism to support multiple .keep files. Implementation notes: - builtin/fetch-pack.c normally does not generate .keep files, and thus is unaffected by this or future changes. However, it has an undocumented "--lock-pack" feature, used by remote-curl.c when implementing the "fetch" remote helper command. In keeping with the remote helper protocol, only one "lock" line will ever be written; the rest will result in warnings to stderr. However, in practice, warnings will never be written because the remote-curl.c "fetch" is only used for protocol v0/v1 (which will not generate multiple .keep files). (Protocol v2 uses the "stateless-connect" command, not the "fetch" command.) - connected.c has an optimization in that connectivity checks on a ref need not be done if the target object is in a pack known to be self-contained and connected. If there are multiple packfiles, this optimization can no longer be done. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Tan <jonathantanmy@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Simplify the commit ancestry connectedness check in a partial clone repository in which "promised" objects are assumed to be obtainable lazily on-demand from promisor remote repositories. * jt/connectivity-check-optim-in-partial-clone: connected: always use partial clone optimization
2020-03-29connected: always use partial clone optimizationJonathan Tan
With 50033772d5 ("connected: verify promisor-ness of partial clone", 2020-01-30), the fast path (checking promisor packs) in check_connected() now passes a subset of the slow path (rev-list) - if all objects to be checked are found in promisor packs, both the fast path and the slow path will pass; otherwise, the fast path will definitely not pass. This means that we can always attempt the fast path whenever we need to do the slow path. The fast path is currently guarded by a flag; therefore, remove that flag. Also, make the fast path fallback to the slow path - if the fast path fails, the failing OID and all remaining OIDs will be passed to rev-list. The main user-visible benefit is the performance of fetch from a partial clone - specifically, the speedup of the connectivity check done before the fetch. In particular, a no-op fetch into a partial clone on my computer was sped up from 7 seconds to 0.01 seconds. This is a complement to the work in 2df1aa239c ("fetch: forgo full connectivity check if --filter", 2020-01-30), which is the child of the aforementioned 50033772d5. In that commit, the connectivity check *after* the fetch was sped up. The addition of the fast path might cause performance reductions in these cases: - If a partial clone or a fetch into a partial clone fails, Git will fruitlessly run rev-list (it is expected that everything fetched would go into promisor packs, so if that didn't happen, it is most likely that rev-list will fail too). - Any connectivity checks done by receive-pack, in the (in my opinion, unlikely) event that a partial clone serves receive-pack. I think that these cases are rare enough, and the performance reduction in this case minor enough (additional object DB access), that the benefit of avoiding a flag outweighs these.

2020-03-15connected.c: reprepare packs for corner casesDerrick Stolee
While updating the microsoft/git fork on top of v2.26.0-rc0 and consuming that build into Scalar, I noticed a corner case bug around partial clone. The "scalar clone" command can create a Git repository with the proper config for using partial clone with the "blob:none" filter. Instead of calling "git clone", it runs "git init" then sets a few more config values before running "git fetch". In our builds on v2.26.0-rc0, we noticed that our "git fetch" command was failing with error: https://github.com/microsoft/scalar did not send all necessary objects This does not happen if you copy the config file from a repository created by "git clone --filter=blob:none <url>", but it does happen when adding the config option "core.logAllRefUpdates = true". By debugging, I was able to see that the loop inside check_connnected() that checks if all refs are contained in promisor packs actually did not have any packfiles in the packed_git list. I'm not sure what corner-case issues caused this config option to prevent the reprepare_packed_git() from being called at the proper spot during the fetch operation. This approach requires a situation where we use the remote helper process, which makes it difficult to test. It is possible to place a reprepare_packed_git() call in the fetch code closer to where we receive a pack, but that leaves an opening for a later change to re-introduce this problem. Further, a concurrent repack operation could replace the pack-file list we already loaded into memory, causing this issue in an even harder to reproduce scenario. It is really the responsibility of anyone looping through the list of pack-files for a certain object to fall back to reprepare_packed_git() on a fail-to-find. The loop in check_connected() does not have this fallback, leading to this bug. We _could_ try looping through the packs and only reprepare the packs after a miss, but that change is more involved and has little value. Since this case is isolated to the case when opt->check_refs_are_promisor_objects_only is true, we are confident that we are verifying the refs after downloading new data. This implies that calling reprepare_packed_git() in advance is not a huge cost compared to the rest of the operations already made.

2020-01-30connected: verify promisor-ness of partial cloneJonathan Tan
Commit dfa33a298d ("clone: do faster object check for partial clones", 2019-04-21) optimized the connectivity check done when cloning with --filter to check only the existence of objects directly pointed to by refs. But this is not sufficient: they also need to be promisor objects. Make this check more robust by instead checking that these objects are promisor objects, that is, they appear in a promisor pack.

2019-11-13clone: remove fetch_if_missing=0Jonathan Tan
Commit 6462d5eb9a ("fetch: remove fetch_if_missing=0", 2019-11-08) strove to remove the need for fetch_if_missing=0 from the fetching mechanism, so it is plausible to attempt removing fetch_if_missing=0 from clone as well. But doing so reveals a bug - when the server does not send an object directly pointed to by a ref, this should be an error, not a trigger for a lazy fetch. (This case in the fetching mechanism was covered by a test using "git clone", not "git fetch", which is why the aforementioned commit didn't uncover the bug.) The bug can be fixed by suppressing lazy-fetching during the connectivity check. Fix this bug, and remove fetch_if_missing from clone.

2019-07-01check_everything_connected: assume alternate ref tips are validJeff King
When we receive a remote ref update to sha1 "X", we want to check that we have all of the objects needed by "X". We can assume that our repository is not currently corrupted, and therefore if we have a ref pointing at "Y", we have all of its objects. So we can stop our traversal from "X" as soon as we hit "Y". If we make the same non-corruption assumption about any repositories we use to store alternates, then we can also use their ref tips to shorten the traversal. This is especially useful when cloning with "--reference", as we otherwise do not have any local refs to check against, and have to traverse the whole history, even though the other side may have sent us few or no objects. Here are results for the included perf test (which shows off more or less the maximal savings, getting one new commit and sharing the whole history): Test HEAD^ HEAD -------------------------------------------------------------------- [on git.git] 5600.3: clone --reference 2.94(2.86+0.08) 0.09(0.08+0.01) -96.9% [on linux.git] 5600.3: clone --reference 45.74(45.34+0.41) 0.36(0.30+0.08) -99.2% Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2019-04-21clone: do faster object check for partial clonesJosh Steadmon
For partial clones, doing a full connectivity check is wasteful; we skip promisor objects (which, for a partial clone, is all known objects), and enumerating them all to exclude them from the connectivity check can take a significant amount of time on large repos. At most, we want to make sure that we get the objects referred to by any wanted refs. For partial clones, just check that these objects were transferred.

2018-07-03fetch-pack: write shallow, then check connectivityJonathan Tan
When fetching, connectivity is checked after the shallow file is updated. There are 2 issues with this: (1) the connectivity check is only performed up to ancestors of existing refs (which is not thorough enough if we were deepening an existing ref in the first place), and (2) there is no rollback of the shallow file if the connectivity check fails. To solve (1), update the connectivity check to check the ancestry chain completely in the case of a deepening fetch by refraining from passing "--not --all" when invoking rev-list in connected.c. To solve (2), have fetch_pack() perform its own connectivity check before updating the shallow file. To support existing use cases in which "git fetch-pack" is used to download objects without much regard as to the connectivity of the resulting objects with respect to the existing repository, the connectivity check is only done if necessary (that is, the fetch is not a clone, and the fetch involves shallow/deepen functionality). "git fetch" still performs its own connectivity check, preserving correctness but sometimes performing redundant work. This redundancy is mitigated by the fact that fetch_pack() reports if it has performed a connectivity check itself, and if the transport supports connect or stateless-connect, it will bubble up that report so that "git fetch" knows not to perform the connectivity check in such a case. This was noticed when a user tried to deepen an existing repository by fetching with --no-shallow from a server that did not send all necessary objects - the connectivity check as run by "git fetch" succeeded, but a subsequent "git fsck" failed.

2016-07-20check_everything_connected: use a struct with named optionsJeff King
The number of variants of check_everything_connected has grown over the years, so that the "real" function takes several possibly-zero, possibly-NULL arguments. We hid the complexity behind some wrapper functions, but this doesn't scale well when we want to add new options. If we add more wrapper variants to handle the new options, then we can get a combinatorial explosion when those options might be used together (right now nobody wants to use both "shallow" and "transport" together, so we get by with just a few wrappers). If instead we add new parameters to each function, each of which can have a default value, then callers who want the defaults end up with confusing invocations like: check_everything_connected(fn, 0, data, -1, 0, NULL); where it is unclear which parameter is which (and every caller needs updated when we add new options). Instead, let's add a struct to hold all of the optional parameters. This is a little more verbose for the callers (who have to declare the struct and fill it in), but it makes their code much easier to follow, because every option is named as it is set (and unused options do not have to be mentioned at all). Note that we could also stick the iteration function and its callback data into the option struct, too. But since those are required for each call, by avoiding doing so, we can let very simple callers just pass "NULL" for the options and not worry about the struct at all. While we're touching each site, let's also rename the function to check_connected(). The existing name was quite long, and not all of the wrappers even used the full name.

2016-07-20check_everything_connected: always pass --quiet to rev-listJeff King
The check_everything_connected function takes a "quiet" parameter which does two things if non-zero: 1. redirect rev-list's stderr to /dev/null to avoid showing errors to the user 2. pass "--quiet" to rev-list Item (1) is obviously useful. But item (2) is surprisingly not. For rev-list, "--quiet" does not have anything to do with chattiness on stderr; it tells rev-list not to bother writing the list of traversed objects to stdout, for efficiency. And since we always redirect rev-list's stdout to /dev/null in this function, there is no point in asking it to ever write anything to stdout. The efficiency gains are modest; a best-of-five run of "git rev-list --objects --all" on linux.git dropped from 32.013s to 30.502s when adding "--quiet".

The example above becomes: if (strip_suffix(str, "foo", &len)) buf = xmemdupz(str, len); This also saves a strlen(), since we calculate the string length when detecting the suffix.

2013-05-28clone: open a shortcut for connectivity checkNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
In order to make sure the cloned repository is good, we run "rev-list --objects --not --all $new_refs" on the repository. This is expensive on large repositories. This patch attempts to mitigate the impact in this special case. In the "good" clone case, we only have one pack. If all of the following are met, we can be sure that all objects reachable from the new refs exist, which is the intention of running "rev-list ...": - all refs point to an object in the pack - there are no dangling pointers in any object in the pack - no objects in the pack point to objects outside the pack The second and third checks can be done with the help of index-pack as a slight variation of --strict check (which introduces a new condition for the shortcut: pack transfer must be used and the number of objects large enough to call index-pack). The first is checked in check_everything_connected after we get an "ok" from index-pack. "index-pack + new checks" is still faster than the current "index-pack + rev-list", which is the whole point of this patch. If any of the conditions fail, we fall back to the good old but expensive "rev-list ..". In that case it's even more expensive because we have to pay for the new checks in index-pack. But that should only happen when the other side is either buggy or malicious.

This is to protect a malicious server or pushing client from corrupting the repository by taking advantage of an existing corrupt object that is unconnected to existing history. But this check is way over-pessimistic. During "fetch" or "receive-pack" (the server side of "push"), unpack-objects and index-pack already validate individual objects that are received, and the only thing we would want to catch are corrupted objects that already happen to exist in our repository but are not referenced from our refs. Such objects must have been written by an earlier run of our codepaths that write out loose objects or packfiles, and they must have done the validation of individual objects when they did so. The only thing left to worry about is the connectivity integrity, which can be checked with "rev-list --objects", which is much cheaper. We have been paying the 5x to 8x runtime overhead the --verify-objects often adds for no real gain. Revert check_everything_connected() not to use this over-pessimistic check. Credit goes to Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy, who originally identified the performance regression and endured multiple rounds of reviews to fix it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
