2017-11-06refs: tidy up and adjust visibility of the `ref_update` flagsMichael Haggerty
The constants used for `ref_update::flags` were rather disorganized: * The definitions in `refs.h` were not close to the functions that used them. * Maybe constants were defined in `refs-internal.h`, making them visible to the whole refs module, when in fact they only made sense for the files backend. * Their documentation wasn't very consistent and partly still referred to sha1s rather than oids. * The numerical values followed no rational scheme Fix all of these problems. The main functional improvement is that some constants' visibility is now limited to `files-backend.c`.

2017-11-06ref_transaction_add_update(): remove a checkMichael Haggerty
We want to make `REF_ISPRUNING` internal to the files backend. For this to be possible, `ref_transaction_add_update()` mustn't know about it. So move the check that `REF_ISPRUNING` is only used with `REF_NODEREF` from this function to `files_transaction_prepare()`.

2017-11-06prune_ref(): call `ref_transaction_add_update()` directlyMichael Haggerty
`prune_ref()` needs to use the `REF_ISPRUNING` flag, but we want to make that flag private to the files backend. So instead of calling `ref_transaction_delete()`, which is a public function and therefore shouldn't allow the `REF_ISPRUNING` flag, change `prune_ref()` to call `ref_transaction_add_update()`, which is private to the refs module. (Note that we don't need any of the other services provided by `ref_transaction_delete()`.) This allows us to change `ref_transaction_update()` to reject the `REF_ISPRUNING` flag. Do so by adjusting `REF_TRANSACTION_UPDATE_ALLOWED_FLAGS`. Also add parentheses to its definition to avoid potential future mishaps.

2017-11-06files_transaction_prepare(): don't leak flags to packed transactionMichael Haggerty
The files backend uses `ref_update::flags` for several internal flags. But those flags have no meaning to the packed backend. So when adding updates for the packed-refs transaction, only use flags that make sense to the packed backend. `REF_NODEREF` is part of the public interface, and it's logically what we want, so include it. In fact it is actually ignored by the packed backend (which doesn't support symbolic references), but that's its own business.

2017-10-30files-backend: don't rewrite the `packed-refs` file unnecessarilyMichael Haggerty
Even when we are deleting references, we needn't overwrite the `packed-refs` file if the references that we are deleting only exist as loose references. Implement this optimization as follows: * Add a function `is_packed_transaction_needed()`, which checks whether a given packed-refs transaction actually needs to be carried out (i.e., it returns false if the transaction obviously wouldn't have any effect). This function must be called while holding the `packed-refs` lock to avoid races. * Change `files_transaction_prepare()` to check whether the packed-refs transaction is actually needed. If not, squelch it, but continue holding the `packed-refs` lock until the end of the transaction to avoid races. This fixes a mild regression caused by dc39e09942 (files_ref_store: use a transaction to update packed refs, 2017-09-08). Before that commit, unnecessary rewrites of `packed-refs` were suppressed by `repack_without_refs()`. But the transaction-based writing introduced by that commit didn't perform that optimization. Note that the pre-dc39e09942 code still had to *read* the whole `packed-refs` file to determine that the rewrite could be skipped, so the performance for the cases that the write could be elided was `O(N)` in the number of packed references both before and after dc39e09942. But after that commit the constant factor increased. This commit reimplements the optimization of eliding unnecessary `packed-refs` rewrites. That, plus the fact that since cfa2e29c34 (packed_ref_store: get rid of the `ref_cache` entirely, 2017-03-17) we don't necessarily have to read the whole `packed-refs` file at all, means that deletes of one or a few loose references can now be done with `O(n lg N)` effort, where `n` is the number of loose references being deleted and `N` is the total number of packed references. This commit fixes two tests in t1409. Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Transactions to update multiple references that involves a deletion was quite broken in an error codepath and did not abort everything correctly. * mh/ref-locking-fix: files_transaction_prepare(): fix handling of ref lock failure t1404: add a bunch of tests of D/F conflicts
2017-10-25files_transaction_prepare(): fix handling of ref lock failureMichael Haggerty
Since dc39e09942 (files_ref_store: use a transaction to update packed refs, 2017-09-08), failure to lock a reference has been handled incorrectly by `files_transaction_prepare()`. If `lock_ref_for_update()` fails in the lock-acquisition loop of that function, it sets `ret` then breaks out of that loop. Prior to dc39e09942, that was OK, because the only thing following the loop was the cleanup code. But dc39e09942 added another blurb of code between the loop and the cleanup. That blurb sometimes resets `ret` to zero, making the cleanup code think that the locking was successful. Specifically, whenever * One or more reference deletions have been processed successfully in the lock-acquisition loop. (Processing the first such reference causes a packed-ref transaction to be initialized.) * Then `lock_ref_for_update()` fails for a subsequent reference. Such a failure can happen for a number of reasons, such as the old SHA-1 not being correct, lock contention, etc. This causes a `break` out of the lock-acquisition loop. * The `packed-refs` lock is acquired successfully and `ref_transaction_prepare()` succeeds for the packed-ref transaction. This has the effect of resetting `ret` back to 0, and making the cleanup code think that lock acquisition was successful. In that case, any reference updates that were processed prior to breaking out of the loop would be carried out (loose and packed), but the reference that couldn't be locked and any subsequent references would silently be ignored. This can easily cause data loss if, for example, the user was trying to push a new name for an existing branch while deleting the old name. After the push, the branch could be left unreachable, and could even subsequently be garbage-collected. This problem was noticed in the context of deleting one reference and creating another in a single transaction, when the two references D/F conflict with each other, like git update-ref --stdin <<EOF delete refs/foo create refs/foo/bar HEAD EOF This triggers the above bug because the deletion is processed successfully for `refs/foo`, then the D/F conflict causes `lock_ref_for_update()` to fail when `refs/foo/bar` is processed. In this case the transaction *should* fail, but instead it causes `refs/foo` to be deleted without creating `refs/foo`. This could easily result in data loss. The fix is simple: instead of just breaking out of the loop, jump directly to the cleanup code. This fixes some tests in t1404 that were added in the previous commit.

First of all, this will save a lot of memory and lots of little allocations. Instead of needing to store complicated parsed data structures in memory, we just mmap the file (potentially sharing memory with other processes) and parse only what we need. Moreover, since the mmapped access to the file reads only the parts of the file that it needs, this might save reading all of the data from disk at all (at least if the file starts out sorted).

We're about to stop storing packed refs in a `ref_cache`. That means that the only way we have left to optimize `peel_ref()` is by checking whether the reference being peeled is the one currently being iterated over (in `current_ref_iter`), and if so, using `ref_iterator_peel()`. But this can be done generically; it doesn't have to be implemented per-backend. So implement `refs_peel_ref()` in `refs.c` and remove the `peel_ref()` method from the refs API. This removes the last callers of a couple of functions, so delete them. More cleanup to come...

2017-09-25read_packed_refs(): ensure that references are ordered when readMichael Haggerty
It doesn't actually matter now, because the references are only iterated over to fill the associated `ref_cache`, which itself puts them in the correct order. But we want to get rid of the `ref_cache`, so we want to be able to iterate directly over the `packed-refs` buffer, and then the iteration will need to be ordered correctly. In fact, we already write the `packed-refs` file sorted, but it is possible that other Git clients don't get it right. So let's not assume that a `packed-refs` file is sorted unless it is explicitly declared to be so via a `sorted` trait in its header line. If it is *not* declared to be sorted, then scan quickly through the file to check. If it is found to be out of order, then sort the records into a new memory-only copy. This checking and sorting is done quickly, without parsing the full file contents. However, it needs a little bit of care to avoid reading past the end of the buffer even if the `packed-refs` file is corrupt. Since *we* always write the file correctly sorted, include that trait when we write or rewrite a `packed-refs` file. This means that the scan described in the previous paragraph should only have to be done for `packed-refs` files that were written by older versions of the Git command-line client, or by other clients that haven't yet learned to write the `sorted` trait. If `packed-refs` was already sorted, then (if the system allows it) we can use the mmapped file contents directly. But if the system doesn't allow a file that is currently mmapped to be replaced using `rename()`, then it would be bad for us to keep the file mmapped for any longer than necessary. So, on such systems, always make a copy of the file contents, either as part of the sorting process, or afterwards.

2017-09-25packed_ref_cache: keep the `packed-refs` file mmapped if possibleMichael Haggerty
Keep a copy of the `packed-refs` file contents in memory for as long as a `packed_ref_cache` object is in use: * If the system allows it, keep the `packed-refs` file mmapped. * If not (either because the system doesn't support `mmap()` at all, or because a file that is currently mmapped cannot be replaced via `rename()`), then make a copy of the file's contents in heap-allocated space, and keep that around instead. We base the choice of behavior on a new build-time switch, `MMAP_PREVENTS_DELETE`. By default, this switch is set for Windows variants. After this commit, `MMAP_NONE` and `MMAP_TEMPORARY` are still handled identically. But the next commit will introduce a difference. This whole change is still pointless, because we only read the `packed-refs` file contents immediately after instantiating the `packed_ref_cache`. But that will soon change.

Note that we are not yet willing to promise that the new iterator generates its output in order. That doesn't matter for now, because the packed refs cache doesn't care what order it is filled. This change adds a lot of boilerplate without providing any obvious benefits. The benefits will come soon, when we get rid of the `ref_cache` for packed references altogether.

2017-09-25packed_ref_cache: remember the file-wide peeling stateMichael Haggerty
Rather than store the peeling state (i.e., the one defined by traits in the `packed-refs` file header line) in a local variable in `read_packed_refs()`, store it permanently in `packed_ref_cache`. This will be needed when we stop reading all packed refs at once. Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-09-25read_packed_refs(): read references with minimal copyingMichael Haggerty
Instead of copying data from the `packed-refs` file one line at time and then processing it, process the data in place as much as possible. Also, instead of processing one line per iteration of the main loop, process a reference line plus its corresponding peeled line (if present) together. Note that this change slightly tightens up the parsing of the `packed-refs` file. Previously, the parser would have accepted multiple "peeled" lines for a single reference (ignoring all but the last one). Now it would reject that.

Many codepaths did not diagnose write failures correctly when disks go full, due to their misuse of write_in_full() helper function, which have been corrected. * jk/write-in-full-fix: read_pack_header: handle signed/unsigned comparison in read result config: flip return value of store_write_*() notes-merge: use ssize_t for write_in_full() return value pkt-line: check write_in_full() errors against "< 0" convert less-trivial versions of "write_in_full() != len" avoid "write_in_full(fd, buf, len) != len" pattern get-tar-commit-id: check write_in_full() return against 0 config: avoid "write_in_full(fd, buf, len) < len" pattern
