2007-05-16git name-rev writes beyond the end of malloc() with large generationsAndy Whitcroft
When using git name-rev on my kernel tree I triggered a malloc() corruption warning from glibc. apw@pinky$ git log --pretty=one $N/base.. | git name-rev --stdin *** glibc detected *** malloc(): memory corruption: 0x0bff8950 *** Aborted This comes from name_rev() which is building the name of the revision in a malloc'd string, which it sprintf's into: char *new_name = xmalloc(len + 8); [...] sprintf(new_name, "%.*s~%d^%d", len, tip_name, generation, parent_number); This allocation is only sufficient if the generation number is less than 5 digits, in my case generation was 13432. In reality parent_number can be up to 16 so that also can require two digits, reducing us to 3 digits before we are at risk of blowing this allocation. This patch introduces a decimal_length() which approximates the number of digits a type may hold, it produces the following: Type Longest Value Len Est ---- ------------- --- --- unsigned char 256 3 4 unsigned short 65536 5 6 unsigned long 4294967296 10 11 unsigned long long 18446744073709551616 20 21 char -128 4 4 short -32768 6 6 long -2147483648 11 11 long long -9223372036854775808 20 21 This is then used to size the new_name.

2007-04-25Actually handle some-low memory conditionsShawn O. Pearce
Tim Ansell discovered his Debian server didn't permit git-daemon to use as much memory as it needed to handle cloning a project with a 128 MiB packfile. Filtering the strace provided by Tim of the rev-list child showed this gem of a sequence: open("./objects/pack/pack-*.pack", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE <unfinished ...> <... open resumed> ) = 5 OK, so the packfile is fd 5... mmap2(NULL, 33554432, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 5, 0 <unfinished ...> <... mmap2 resumed> ) = 0xb5e2d000 and we mapped one 32 MiB window from it at position 0... mmap2(NULL, 31020635, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 5, 0x6000 <unfinished ...> <... mmap2 resumed> ) = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory) And we asked for another window further into the file. But got denied. In Tim's case this was due to a resource limit on the git-daemon process, and its children. Now where are we in the code? We're down inside use_pack(), after we have called unuse_one_window() enough times to make sure we stay within our allowed maximum window size. However since we didn't unmap the prior window at 0xb5e2d000 we aren't exceeding the current limit (which probably was just the defaults). But we're actually down inside xmmap()... So we release the window we do have (by calling release_pack_memory), assuming there is some memory pressure... munmap(0xb5e2d000, 33554432 <unfinished ...> <... munmap resumed> ) = 0 close(5 <unfinished ...> <... close resumed> ) = 0 And that was the last window in this packfile. So we closed it. Way to go us. Our xmmap did not expect release_pack_memory to close the fd its about to map... mmap2(NULL, 31020635, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 5, 0x6000 <unfinished ...> <... mmap2 resumed> ) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor) And so the Linux kernel happily tells us f' off. write(2, "fatal: ", 7 <unfinished ...> <... write resumed> ) = 7 write(2, "Out of memory? mmap failed: Bad "..., 47 <unfinished ...> <... write resumed> ) = 47 And we report the bad file descriptor error, and not the ENOMEM, and die, claiming we are out of memory. But actually that mmap should have succeeded, as we had enough memory for that window, seeing as how we released the prior one. Originally when I developed the sliding window mmap feature I had this exact same bug in fast-import, and I dealt with it by handing in the struct packed_git* we want to open the new window for, as the caller wasn't prepared to reopen the packfile if unuse_one_window closed it. The same is true here from xmmap, but the caller doesn't have the struct packed_git* handy. So I'm using the file descriptor instead to perform the same test. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2007-03-07Cast 64 bit off_t to 32 bit size_tShawn O. Pearce
Some systems have sizeof(off_t) == 8 while sizeof(size_t) == 4. This implies that we are able to access and work on files whose maximum length is around 2^63-1 bytes, but we can only malloc or mmap somewhat less than 2^32-1 bytes of memory. On such a system an implicit conversion of off_t to size_t can cause the size_t to wrap, resulting in unexpected and exciting behavior. Right now we are working around all gcc warnings generated by the -Wshorten-64-to-32 option by passing the off_t through xsize_t(). In the future we should make xsize_t on such problematic platforms detect the wrapping and die if such a file is accessed. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2007-03-07Use off_t when we really mean a file offset.Shawn O. Pearce
Not all platforms have declared 'unsigned long' to be a 64 bit value, but we want to support a 64 bit packfile (or close enough anyway) in the near future as some projects are getting large enough that their packed size exceeds 4 GiB. By using off_t, the POSIX type that is declared to mean an offset within a file, we support whatever maximum file size the underlying operating system will handle. For most modern systems this is up around 2^60 or higher. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

Solaris 8 was pre-c99, and they weren't willing to commit to the strtoumax definition according to /usr/include/inttypes.h. This adds NO_STRTOUMAX and NO_STRTOULL for ancient systems. If NO_STRTOUMAX is defined, the routine in compat/strtoumax.c will be used instead. That routine passes its arguments to strtoull unless NO_STRTOULL is defined. If NO_STRTOULL, then the routine uses strtoul (unsigned long).

2007-01-11Better error messages for corrupt databasesLinus Torvalds
This fixes another problem that Andy's case showed: git-fsck-objects reports nonsensical results for corrupt objects. There were actually two independent and confusing problems: - when we had a zero-sized file and used map_sha1_file, mmap() would return EINVAL, and git-fsck-objects would report that as an insane and confusing error. I don't know when this was introduced, it might have been there forever. - when "parse_object()" returned NULL, fsck would say "object not found", which can be very confusing, since obviously the object might "exist", it's just unparseable because it's totally corrupt. So this just makes "xmmap()" return NULL for a zero-sized object (which is a valid thing pointer, exactly the same way "malloc()" can return NULL for a zero-sized allocation). That fixes the first problem (but we could have fixed it in the caller too - I don't personally much care whichever way it goes, but maybe somebody should check that the NO_MMAP case does something sane in this case too?). And the second problem is solved by just making the error message slightly clearer - the failure to parse an object may be because it's missing or corrupt, not necessarily because it's not "found".

2007-01-06Increase packedGit{Limit,WindowSize} on 64 bit systems.Shawn O. Pearce
If we have a 64 bit address space we can easily afford to commit a larger amount of virtual address space to pack file access. So on these platforms we should increase the default settings of core.packedGit{Limit,WindowSize} to something that will better handle very large projects.

2006-12-29Replace mmap with xmmap, better handling MAP_FAILED.Shawn O. Pearce
In some cases we did not even bother to check the return value of mmap() and just assume it worked. This is bad, because if we are out of virtual address space the kernel returned MAP_FAILED and we would attempt to dereference that address, segfaulting without any real error output to the user. We are replacing all calls to mmap() with xmmap() and moving all MAP_FAILED checking into that single location. If a mmap call fails we try to release enough least-recently-used pack windows to possibly succeed, then retry the mmap() attempt. If we cannot mmap even after releasing pack memory then we die() as none of our callers have any reasonable recovery strategy for a failed mmap. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2006-12-29Release pack windows before reporting out of memory.Shawn O. Pearce
If we are about to fail because this process has run out of memory we should first try to automatically control our appetite for address space by releasing enough least-recently-used pack windows to gain back enough memory such that we might actually be able to meet the current allocation request. This should help users who have fairly large repositories but are working on systems with relatively small virtual address space. Many times we see reports on the mailing list of these users running out of memory during various Git operations. Dynamically decreasing the amount of pack memory used when the demand for heap memory is increasing is an intelligent solution to this problem. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2006-12-29Default core.packdGitWindowSize to 1 MiB if NO_MMAP.Shawn O. Pearce
If the compiler has asked us to disable use of mmap() on their platform then we are forced to use git_mmap and its emulation via pread. In this case large (e.g. 32 MiB) windows for pack access are simply too big as a command will wind up reading a lot more data than it will ever need, significantly reducing response time. To prevent a high latency when NO_MMAP has been selected we now use a default of 1 MiB for core.packedGitWindowSize. Credit goes to Linus and Junio for recommending this more reasonable setting.

This patch drops the length argument, requiring two nul-terminated strings; all callsites are updated. I checked that all of them indeed provide nul-terminated strings. Filenames need to be nul-terminated anyway if they are to be passed to open() etc. The performance penalty of the additional strlen() is negligible compared to the system calls which inevitably surround has_extension() calls. Additionally, change has_extension() to use size_t inside instead of int, as that is the exact type strlen() returns and memcmp() expects.

ISO C99 (and GCC 3.x or later) lets you write a flexible array at the end of a structure, like this: struct frotz { int xyzzy; char nitfol[]; /* more */ }; GCC 2.95 and 2.96 let you to do this with "char nitfol[0]"; unfortunately this is not allowed by ISO C90. This declares such construct like this: struct frotz { int xyzzy; char nitfol[FLEX_ARRAY]; /* more */ }; and git-compat-util.h defines FLEX_ARRAY to 0 for gcc 2.95 and empty for others.
