2015-06-25Merge branch 'jk/diagnose-config-mmap-failure' into maintJunio C Hamano
The configuration reader/writer uses mmap(2) interface to access the files; when we find a directory, it barfed with "Out of memory?". * jk/diagnose-config-mmap-failure: xmmap(): drop "Out of memory?" config.c: rewrite ENODEV into EISDIR when mmap fails config.c: avoid xmmap error messages config.c: fix mmap leak when writing config read-cache.c: drop PROT_WRITE from mmap of index
2015-05-28read-cache.c: drop PROT_WRITE from mmap of indexJeff King
Once upon a time, git's in-memory representation of a cache entry actually pointed to the mmap'd on-disk data. So in 520fc24 (Allow writing to the private index file mapping., 2005-04-26), we specified PROT_WRITE so that we could tweak the entries while we run (in our own MAP_PRIVATE copy-on-write version, of course). Later, 7a51ed6 (Make on-disk index representation separate from in-core one, 2008-01-14) stopped doing this; we copy the data into our in-core representation, and then drop the mmap immediately. We can therefore drop the PROT_WRITE flag. It's probably not hurting anything as it is, but it's potentially confusing. Note that we could also mark the mapping as "const" to verify that we never write to it. However, we don't typically do that for our other maps, as it then requires casting to munmap() it.

2015-03-23read-cache: fix memleakStefan Beller
`ce` is allocated in make_cache_entry and should be freed if it is not used any more. refresh_cache_entry as a wrapper around refresh_cache_ent will either return - the `ce` given as the parameter, when it was up-to-date; - a new updated cache entry which is allocated to new memory; or - a NULL when refreshing failed. In the latter two cases, the original cache-entry `ce` is not used and needs to be freed. The rule can be expressed as "if the return value from refresh is different from the original ce, ce is no longer used."

2015-03-23add_to_index(): free unused cache-entryJunio C Hamano
We allocate a cache-entry pretty early in the function and then decide either not to do anything when we are pretending to add, or add it and then get an error (another possibility is obviously to succeed). When pretending or failing to add, we forgot to free the cache-entry.

2015-03-20read-cache: fix reading of split indexThomas Gummerer
The split index extension uses ewah bitmaps to mark index entries as deleted, instead of removing them from the index directly. This can result in an on-disk index, in which entries of stage #0 and higher stages appear, which are removed later when the index bases are merged. 15999d0 read_index_from(): catch out of order entries when reading an index file introduces a check which checks if the entries are in order after each index entry is read in do_read_index. This check may however fail when a split index is read. Fix this by moving checking the index after we know there is no split index or after the split index bases are successfully merged instead.

2014-12-17read-cache: optionally disallow NTFS .git variantsJohannes Schindelin
The point of disallowing ".git" in the index is that we would never want to accidentally overwrite files in the repository directory. But this means we need to respect the filesystem's idea of when two paths are equal. The prior commit added a helper to make such a comparison for NTFS and FAT32; let's use it in verify_path(). We make this check optional for two reasons: 1. It restricts the set of allowable filenames, which is unnecessary for people who are not on NTFS nor FAT32. In practice this probably doesn't matter, though, as the restricted names are rather obscure and almost certainly would never come up in practice. 2. It has a minor performance penalty for every path we insert into the index. This patch ties the check to the core.protectNTFS config option. Though this is expected to be most useful on Windows, we allow it to be set everywhere, as NTFS may be mounted on other platforms. The variable does default to on for Windows, though.

2014-12-17verify_dotfile(): reject .git case-insensitivelyJeff King
We do not allow ".git" to enter into the index as a path component, because checking out the result to the working tree may causes confusion for subsequent git commands. However, on case-insensitive file systems, ".Git" or ".GIT" is the same. We should catch and prevent those, too. Note that technically we could allow this for repos on case-sensitive filesystems. But there's not much point. It's unlikely that anybody cares, and it creates a repository that is unexpectedly non-portable to other systems.

And anyway, it shouldn't have to know so much about the internal workings of lockfile objects.

2014-10-01lockfile: change lock_file::filename into a strbufMichael Haggerty
For now, we still make sure to allocate at least PATH_MAX characters for the strbuf because resolve_symlink() doesn't know how to expand the space for its return value. (That will be fixed in a moment.) Another alternative would be to just use a strbuf as scratch space in lock_file() but then store a pointer to the naked string in struct lock_file. But lock_file objects are often reused. By reusing the same strbuf, we can avoid having to reallocate the string most times when a lock_file object is reused.

2014-10-01lockfile: avoid transitory invalid statesMichael Haggerty
Because remove_lock_file() can be called any time by the signal handler, it is important that any lock_file objects that are in the lock_file_list are always in a valid state. And since lock_file objects are often reused (but are never removed from lock_file_list), that means we have to be careful whenever mutating a lock_file object to always keep it in a well-defined state. This was formerly not the case, because part of the state was encoded by setting lk->filename to the empty string vs. a valid filename. It is wrong to assume that this string can be updated atomically; for example, even strcpy(lk->filename, value) is unsafe. But the old code was even more reckless; for example, strcpy(lk->filename, path); if (!(flags & LOCK_NODEREF)) resolve_symlink(lk->filename, max_path_len); strcat(lk->filename, ".lock"); During the call to resolve_symlink(), lk->filename contained the name of the file that was being locked, not the name of the lockfile. If a signal were raised during that interval, then the signal handler would have deleted the valuable file! We could probably continue to use the filename field to encode the state by being careful to write characters 1..N-1 of the filename first, and then overwrite the NUL at filename[0] with the first character of the filename, but that would be awkward and error-prone. So, instead of using the filename field to determine whether the lock_file object is active, add a new field "lock_file::active" for this purpose. Be careful to set this field only when filename really contains the name of a file that should be deleted on cleanup.

2014-06-20cleanup duplicate name_compare() functionsJeremiah Mahler
We often represent our strings as a counted string, i.e. a pair of the pointer to the beginning of the string and its length, and the string may not be NUL terminated to that length. To compare a pair of such counted strings, unpack-trees.c and read-cache.c implement their own name_compare() functions identically. In addition, the cache_name_compare() function in read-cache.c is nearly identical. The only difference is when one string is the prefix of the other string, in which case name_compare() returns -1/+1 to show which one is longer, and cache_name_compare() returns the difference of the lengths to show the same information. Unify these three functions by using the implementation from cache_name_compare(). This does not make any difference to the existing and future callers, as they must be paying attention only to the sign of the returned value (and not the magnitude) because the original implementations of these two functions return values returned by memcmp(3) when the one string is not a prefix of the other string, and the only thing memcmp(3) guarantees its callers is the sign of the returned value, not the magnitude.

2014-06-13read-cache: split-index modeNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
This split-index mode is designed to keep write cost proportional to the number of changes the user has made, not the size of the work tree. (Read cost is another matter, to be dealt separately.) This mode stores index info in a pair of $GIT_DIR/index and $GIT_DIR/sharedindex.<SHA-1>. sharedindex is large and unchanged over time while "index" is smaller and updated often. Format details are in index-format.txt, although not everything is implemented in this patch. Shared indexes are not automatically removed, because it's unclear if the shared index is needed by any (even temporary) indexes by just looking at it. After a while you'll collect stale shared indexes. The good news is one shared index is useable for long, until $GIT_DIR/index becomes too big and sluggish that the new shared index must be created. The safest way to clean shared indexes is to turn off split index mode, so shared files are all garbage, delete them all, then turn on split index mode again.
