2014-10-01lockfile.h: extract new header file for the functions in lockfile.cMichael Haggerty
Move the interface declaration for the functions in lockfile.c from cache.h to a new file, lockfile.h. Add #includes where necessary (and remove some redundant includes of cache.h by files that already include builtin.h). Move the documentation of the lock_file state diagram from lockfile.c to the new header file. Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-06-20fetch-pack: refactor parsing in get_ackJeff King
There are several uses of the magic number "line+45" when parsing ACK lines from the server, and it's rather unclear why 45 is the correct number. We can make this more clear by keeping a running pointer as we parse, using skip_prefix to jump past the first "ACK ", then adding 40 to jump past get_sha1_hex (which is still magical, but hopefully 40 is less magical to readers of git code). Note that this actually puts us at line+44. The original required some character between the sha1 and further ACK flags (it is supposed to be a space, but we never enforced that). We start our search for flags at line+44, which meanas we are slightly more liberal than the old code. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-06-20use skip_prefix to avoid magic numbersJeff King
It's a common idiom to match a prefix and then skip past it with a magic number, like: if (starts_with(foo, "bar")) foo += 3; This is easy to get wrong, since you have to count the prefix string yourself, and there's no compiler check if the string changes. We can use skip_prefix to avoid the magic numbers here. Note that some of these conversions could be much shorter. For example: if (starts_with(arg, "--foo=")) { bar = arg + 6; continue; } could become: if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &bar)) continue; However, I have left it as: if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &v)) { bar = v; continue; } to visually match nearby cases which need to actually process the string. Like: if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &v)) { bar = atoi(v); continue; } Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-02-27shallow: automatically clean up shallow tempfilesJeff King
We sometimes write tempfiles of the form "shallow_XXXXXX" during fetch/push operations with shallow repositories. Under normal circumstances, we clean up the result when we are done. However, we do no take steps to clean up after ourselves when we exit due to die() or signal death. This patch teaches the tempfile creation code to register handlers to clean up after ourselves. To handle this, we change the ownership semantics of the filename returned by setup_temporary_shallow. It now keeps a copy of the filename itself, and returns only a const pointer to it. We can also do away with explicit tempfile removal in the callers. They all exit not long after finishing with the file, so they can rely on the auto-cleanup, simplifying the code. Note that we keep things simple and maintain only a single filename to be cleaned. This is sufficient for the current caller, but we future-proof it with a die("BUG").

2014-02-10fetch-pack: fix deepen shallow over smart http with no-done capNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
In smart http, upload-pack adds new shallow lines at the beginning of each rpc response. Only shallow lines from the first rpc call are useful. After that they are thrown away. It's designed this way because upload-pack is stateless and has no idea when its shallow lines are helpful or not. So after refs are negotiated with multi_ack_detailed and the server thinks it learned enough, it sends "ACK obj-id ready", terminates the rpc call and waits for the final rpc round. The client sends "done". The server sends another response, which also has shallow lines at the beginning, and the last "ACK obj-id" line. When no-done is active, the last round is cut out, the server sends "ACK obj-id ready" and "ACK obj-id" in the same rpc response. fetch-pack is updated to recognize this and not send "done". However it still tries to consume shallow lines, which are never sent. Update the code, make sure to skip consuming shallow lines when no-done is enabled.

2014-01-15fetch-pack: do not filter out one-level refsJeff King
Currently fetching a one-level ref like "refs/foo" does not work consistently. The outer "git fetch" program filters the list of refs, checking each against check_refname_format. Then it feeds the result to do_fetch_pack to actually negotiate the haves/wants and get the pack. The fetch-pack code does its own filter, and it behaves differently. The fetch-pack filter looks for refs in "refs/", and then feeds everything _after_ the slash (i.e., just "foo") into check_refname_format. But check_refname_format is not designed to look at a partial refname. It complains that the ref has only one component, thinking it is at the root (i.e., alongside "HEAD"), when in reality we just fed it a partial refname. As a result, we omit a ref like "refs/foo" from the pack request, even though "git fetch" then tries to store the resulting ref. If we happen to get the object anyway (e.g., because the ref is contained in another ref we are fetching), then the fetch succeeds. But if it is a unique object, we fail when trying to update "refs/foo". We can fix this by just passing the whole refname into check_refname_format; we know the part we were omitting is "refs/", which is acceptable in a refname. This at least makes the checks consistent with each other. This problem happens most commonly with "refs/stash", which is the only one-level ref in wide use. However, our test does not use "refs/stash", as we may later want to restrict it specifically (not because it is one-level, but because of the semantics of stashes). We may also want to do away with the multiple levels of filtering (which can cause problems when they are out of sync), or even forbid one-level refs entirely. However, those decisions can come later; this fixes the most immediate problem, which is the mismatch between the two.

This patch just put together pieces from the 8 steps patch. We stop at step 7 and reject refs that require new shallow commits. Note that, by rejecting refs that require new shallow commits, we leave dangling objects in the repo, which become "object islands" by the next "git fetch" of the same source. If the first fetch our "ours" set is zero and we do practically nothing at step 7, "ours" is full at the next fetch and we may need to walk through commits for reachability test.

2013-12-11clone: support remote shallow repositoryNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
Cloning from a shallow repository does not follow the "8 steps for new .git/shallow" because if it does we need to get through step 6 for all refs. That means commit walking down to the bottom. Instead the rule to create .git/shallow is simpler and, more importantly, cheap: if a shallow commit is found in the pack, it's probably used (i.e. reachable from some refs), so we add it. Others are dropped. One may notice this method seems flawed by the word "probably". A shallow commit may not be reachable from any refs at all if it's attached to an object island (a group of objects that are not reachable by any refs). If that object island is not complete, a new fetch request may send more objects to connect it to some ref. At that time, because we incorrectly installed the shallow commit in this island, the user will not see anything after that commit (fsck is still ok). This is not desired. Given that object islands are rare (C Git never sends such islands for security reasons) and do not really harm the repository integrity, a tradeoff is made to surprise the user occasionally but work faster everyday. A new option --strict could be added later that follows exactly the 8 steps. "git prune" can also learn to remove dangling objects _and_ the shallow commits that are attached to them from .git/shallow.

2013-08-26fetch-pack: do not remove .git/shallow file when --depth is not specifiedNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
fetch_pack() can remove .git/shallow file when a shallow repository becomes a full one again. This behavior is triggered incorrectly when tags are also fetched because fetch_pack() will be called twice. At the first fetch_pack() call: - shallow_lock is set up - alternate_shallow_file points to shallow_lock.filename, which is "shallow.lock" - commit_lock_file is called, which sets shallow_lock.filename to "". alternate_shallow_file also becomes "" because it points to the same memory. At the second call, setup_alternate_shallow() is not called and alternate_shallow_file remains "". It's mistaken as unshallow case and .git/shallow is removed. The end result is a broken repository. Fix this by always initializing alternate_shallow_file when fetch_pack() is called. As an extra measure, check if args->depth > 0 before commit/rollback shallow file.

2013-07-02fetch-pack: avoid quadratic behavior in rev_list_pushJeff King
When we call find_common to start finding common ancestors with the remote side of a fetch, the first thing we do is insert the tip of each ref into our rev_list linked list. We keep the list sorted the whole time with commit_list_insert_by_date, which means our insertion ends up doing O(n^2) timestamp comparisons. We could teach rev_list_push to use an unsorted list, and then sort it once after we have added each ref. However, in get_rev, we process the list by popping commits off the front and adding parents back in timestamp-sorted order. So that procedure would still operate on the large list. Instead, we can replace the linked list with a heap-based priority queue, which can do O(log n) insertion, making the whole insertion procedure O(n log n). As a result of switching to the prio_queue struct, we fix two minor bugs: 1. When we "pop" a commit in get_rev, and when we clear the rev_list in find_common, we do not take care to free the "struct commit_list", and just leak its memory. With the prio_queue implementation, the memory management is handled for us. 2. In get_rev, we look at the head commit of the list, possibly push its parents onto the list, and then "pop" the front of the list off, assuming it is the same element that we just peeked at. This is typically going to be the case, but would not be in the face of clock skew: the parents are inserted by date, and could potentially be inserted at the head of the list if they have a timestamp newer than their descendent. In this case, we would accidentally pop the parent, and never process it at all. The new implementation pulls the commit off of the queue as we examine it, and so does not suffer from this problem. With this patch, a fetch of a single commit into a repository with 50,000 refs went from: real 0m7.984s user 0m7.852s sys 0m0.120s to: real 0m2.017s user 0m1.884s sys 0m0.124s Before this patch, a larger case with 370K refs still had not completed after tens of minutes; with this patch, it completes in about 12 seconds.

2013-07-02fetch-pack: avoid quadratic list insertion in mark_completeJeff King
We insert the commit pointed to by each ref one-by-one into the "complete" commit_list using insert_by_date. Because each insertion is O(n), we end up with O(n^2) behavior. This typically doesn't matter, because the number of refs is reasonably small. And even if there are a lot of refs, they often point to a smaller set of objects (in which case the optimization in commit ea5f220 keeps our "n" small). However, in pathological repositories (hundreds of thousands of refs, each pointing to a unique commit), this quadratic behavior can make a difference. Since we do not care about the list order until we have finished building it, we can simply keep it unsorted during the insertion phase, then sort it afterwards. On a repository like the one described above, this dropped the time to do a no-op fetch from 2.0s to 1.7s. On normal repositories, it probably does not matter at all, but it does not hurt to protect ourselves from pathological cases.

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.

2013-05-28fetch-pack: prepare updated shallow file before fetching the packNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
index-pack --strict looks up and follows parent commits. If shallow information is not ready by the time index-pack is run, index-pack may be led to non-existent objects. Make fetch-pack save shallow file to disk before invoking index-pack. git learns new global option --shallow-file to pass on the alternate shallow file path. Undocumented (and not even support --shallow-file= syntax) because it's unlikely to be used again elsewhere.

2013-02-20pkt-line: provide a LARGE_PACKET_MAX static bufferJeff King
Most of the callers of packet_read_line just read into a static 1000-byte buffer (callers which handle arbitrary binary data already use LARGE_PACKET_MAX). This works fine in practice, because: 1. The only variable-sized data in these lines is a ref name, and refs tend to be a lot shorter than 1000 characters. 2. When sending ref lines, git-core always limits itself to 1000 byte packets. However, the only limit given in the protocol specification in Documentation/technical/protocol-common.txt is LARGE_PACKET_MAX; the 1000 byte limit is mentioned only in pack-protocol.txt, and then only describing what we write, not as a specific limit for readers. This patch lets us bump the 1000-byte limit to LARGE_PACKET_MAX. Even though git-core will never write a packet where this makes a difference, there are two good reasons to do this: 1. Other git implementations may have followed protocol-common.txt and used a larger maximum size. We don't bump into it in practice because it would involve very long ref names. 2. We may want to increase the 1000-byte limit one day. Since packets are transferred before any capabilities, it's difficult to do this in a backwards-compatible way. But if we bump the size of buffer the readers can handle, eventually older versions of git will be obsolete enough that we can justify bumping the writers, as well. We don't have plans to do this anytime soon, but there is no reason not to start the clock ticking now. Just bumping all of the reading bufs to LARGE_PACKET_MAX would waste memory. Instead, since most readers just read into a temporary buffer anyway, let's provide a single static buffer that all callers can use. We can further wrap this detail away by having the packet_read_line wrapper just use the buffer transparently and return a pointer to the static storage. That covers most of the cases, and the remaining ones already read into their own LARGE_PACKET_MAX buffers. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-02-20pkt-line: teach packet_read_line to chomp newlinesJeff King
The packets sent during ref negotiation are all terminated by newline; even though the code to chomp these newlines is short, we end up doing it in a lot of places. This patch teaches packet_read_line to auto-chomp the trailing newline; this lets us get rid of a lot of inline chomping code. As a result, some call-sites which are not reading line-oriented data (e.g., when reading chunks of packfiles alongside sideband) transition away from packet_read_line to the generic packet_read interface. This patch converts all of the existing callsites. Since the function signature of packet_read_line does not change (but its behavior does), there is a possibility of new callsites being introduced in later commits, silently introducing an incompatibility. However, since a later patch in this series will change the signature, such a commit would have to be merged directly into this commit, not to the tip of the series; we can therefore ignore the issue. This is an internal cleanup and should produce no change of behavior in the normal case. However, there is one corner case to note. Callers of packet_read_line have never been able to tell the difference between a flush packet ("0000") and an empty packet ("0004"), as both cause packet_read_line to return a length of 0. Readers treat them identically, even though Documentation/technical/protocol-common.txt says we must not; it also says that implementations should not send an empty pkt-line. By stripping out the newline before the result gets to the caller, we will now treat the newline-only packet ("0005\n") the same as an empty packet, which in turn gets treated like a flush packet. In practice this doesn't matter, as neither empty nor newline-only packets are part of git's protocols (at least not for the line-oriented bits, and readers who are not expecting line-oriented packets will be calling packet_read directly, anyway). But even if we do decide to care about the distinction later, it is orthogonal to this patch. The right place to tighten would be to stop treating empty packets as flush packets, and this change does not make doing so any harder.

2013-02-20pkt-line: drop safe_write functionJeff King
This is just write_or_die by another name. The one distinction is that write_or_die will treat EPIPE specially by suppressing error messages. That's fine, as we die by SIGPIPE anyway (and in the off chance that it is disabled, write_or_die will simulate it).

2013-02-20fetch-pack: fix out-of-bounds buffer offset in get_ackJeff King
When we read acks from the remote, we expect either: ACK <sha1> or ACK <sha1> <multi-ack-flag> We parse the "ACK <sha1>" bit from the line, and then start looking for the flag strings at "line+45"; if we don't have them, we assume it's of the first type. But if we do have the first type, then line+45 is not necessarily inside our string at all! It turns out that this works most of the time due to the way we parse the packets. They should come in with a newline, and packet_read puts an extra NUL into the buffer, so we end up with: ACK <sha1>\n\0 with the newline at offset 44 and the NUL at offset 45. We then strip the newline, putting a NUL at offset 44. So when we look at "line+45", we are looking past the end of our string; but it's OK, because we hit the terminator from the original string. This breaks down, however, if the other side does not terminate their packets with a newline. In that case, our packet is one character shorter, and we start looking through uninitialized memory for the flag. No known implementation sends such a packet, so it has never come up in practice. This patch tightens the check by looking for a short, flagless ACK before trying to parse the flag. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-02-07fetch: use struct ref to represent refs to be fetchedJunio C Hamano
Even though "git fetch" has full infrastructure to parse refspecs to be fetched and match them against the list of refs to come up with the final list of refs to be fetched, the list of refs that are requested to be fetched were internally converted to a plain list of strings at the transport layer and then passed to the underlying fetch-pack driver. Stop this conversion and instead pass around an array of refs. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
