2017-09-25Merge branch 'jk/write-in-full-fix'Junio C Hamano
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
2017-09-14avoid "write_in_full(fd, buf, len) != len" patternJeff King
The return value of write_in_full() is either "-1", or the requested number of bytes[1]. If we make a partial write before seeing an error, we still return -1, not a partial value. This goes back to f6aa66cb95 (write_in_full: really write in full or return error on disk full., 2007-01-11). So checking anything except "was the return value negative" is pointless. And there are a couple of reasons not to do so: 1. It can do a funny signed/unsigned comparison. If your "len" is signed (e.g., a size_t) then the compiler will promote the "-1" to its unsigned variant. This works out for "!= len" (unless you really were trying to write the maximum size_t bytes), but is a bug if you check "< len" (an example of which was fixed recently in config.c). We should avoid promoting the mental model that you need to check the length at all, so that new sites are not tempted to copy us. 2. Checking for a negative value is shorter to type, especially when the length is an expression. 3. Linus says so. In d34cf19b89 (Clean up write_in_full() users, 2007-01-11), right after the write_in_full() semantics were changed, he wrote: I really wish every "write_in_full()" user would just check against "<0" now, but this fixes the nasty and stupid ones. Appeals to authority aside, this makes it clear that writing it this way does not have an intentional benefit. It's a historical curiosity that we never bothered to clean up (and which was undoubtedly cargo-culted into new sites). So let's convert these obviously-correct cases (this includes write_str_in_full(), which is just a wrapper for write_in_full()). [1] A careful reader may notice there is one way that write_in_full() can return a different value. If we ask write() to write N bytes and get a return value that is _larger_ than N, we could return a larger total. But besides the fact that this would imply a totally broken version of write(), it would already invoke undefined behavior. Our internal remaining counter is an unsigned size_t, which means that subtracting too many byte will wrap it around to a very large number. So we'll instantly begin reading off the end of the buffer, trying to write gigabytes (or petabytes) of data.

2017-08-22rerere: allow approxidate in gc.rerereResolved/gc.rerereUnresolvedJunio C Hamano
These two configuration variables are described in the documentation to take an expiry period expressed in the number of days: gc.rerereResolved:: Records of conflicted merge you resolved earlier are kept for this many days when 'git rerere gc' is run. The default is 60 days. gc.rerereUnresolved:: Records of conflicted merge you have not resolved are kept for this many days when 'git rerere gc' is run. The default is 15 days. There is no strong reason not to allow a more general "approxidate" expiry specification, e.g. "5.days.ago", or "never". Rename the config_get_expiry() helper introduced in the previous step to git_config_get_expiry_in_days() and move it to a more generic place, config.c, and use date.c::parse_expiry_date() to do so. Give it an ability to allow the caller to tell among three cases (i.e. there is no "gc.rerereResolved" config, there is and it is correctly parsed into the *expiry variable, and there was an error in parsing the given value). The current caller can work correctly without using the return value, though. In the future, we may find other variables that only allow an integer that specifies "this many days" or other unit of time, and when it happens we may need to drop "_days" suffix from the name of the function and instead pass the "scale" value as another parameter. But this will do for now. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-08-22rerere: represent time duration in timestamp_t internallyJunio C Hamano
The two configuration variables, gc.rerereResolved and gc.rerereUnresolved, are measured in days and are passed as such into the prune_one() helper function, which worked in time_t to see if an entry in the rerere database is past its expiry. Instead, have the caller turn the number of days into the expiry timestamp. Further, use timestamp_t instead of time_t. This will make it possible to extend the way the configuration variable is spelled by using date.c::parse_expiry_date() that gives the expiry timestamp in timestamp_t.

2016-12-07hold_locked_index(): align error handling with hold_lockfile_for_update()Junio C Hamano
Callers of the hold_locked_index() function pass 0 when they want to prepare to write a new version of the index file without wishing to die or emit an error message when the request fails (e.g. somebody else already held the lock), and pass 1 when they want the call to die upon failure. This option is called LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR by the underlying lockfile API, and the hold_locked_index() function translates the paramter to LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR when calling the hold_lock_file_for_update(). Replace these hardcoded '1' with LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR and stop translating. Callers other than the ones that are replaced with this change pass '0' to the function; no behaviour change is intended with this patch. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> --- Among the callers of hold_locked_index() that passes 0: - diff.c::refresh_index_quietly() at the end of "git diff" is an opportunistic update; it leaks the lockfile structure but it is just before the program exits and nobody should care. - builtin/describe.c::cmd_describe(), builtin/commit.c::cmd_status(), sequencer.c::read_and_refresh_cache() are all opportunistic updates and they are OK. - builtin/update-index.c::cmd_update_index() takes a lock upfront but we may end up not needing to update the index (i.e. the entries may be fully up-to-date), in which case we do not need to issue an error upon failure to acquire the lock. We do diagnose and die if we indeed need to update, so it is OK. - wt-status.c::require_clean_work_tree() IS BUGGY. It asks silence, does not check the returned value. Compare with callsites like cmd_describe() and cmd_status() to notice that it is wrong to call update_index_if_able() unconditionally.

2016-04-06rerere: adjust 'forget' to multi-variant world orderJunio C Hamano
Because conflicts with the same contents inside conflict blocks enclosed by "<<<<<<<" and ">>>>>>>" can now have multiple variants to help three-way merge to adjust to the differences outside the conflict blocks, "rerere forget $path" needs to be taught that there may be multiple recorded resolutions that share the same conflict hash (which groups the conflicts with "the same contents inside conflict blocks"), among which there are some that would not be relevant to the conflict we are looking at. These "other variants" that happen to share the same conflict hash should not be cleared, and the variant that would apply to the current conflict may not be the zero-th one (which is the only one that is cleared by the current code). After finding the conflict hash, iterate over the existing variants and try to resolve the conflict using each of them to find the one that "cleanly" resolves the current conflict. That is the one we want to forget and record the preimage for, so that the user can record the corrected resolution. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-04-06rerere: split code to call ll_merge() furtherJunio C Hamano
The merge() helper function is given an existing rerere ID (i.e. the name of the .git/rr-cache/* subdirectory, and the variant number) that identifies one <preimage, postimage> pair, try to see if the conflicted state in the given path can be resolved by using the pair, and if this succeeds, then update the conflicted path with the result in the working tree. To implement rerere_forget() in the multiple variant world, we'd need a helper to do the "see if a <preimage, postimage> pair cleanly resolves a conflicted state we have in-core" part, without actually touching any file in the working tree, in order to identify which variant(s) to remove. Split the logic to do so into a separate helper function try_merge() out of merge(). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2016-03-15rerere: do use multiple variantsJunio C Hamano
This enables the multiple-variant support for real. Multiple conflicts of the same shape can have differences in contexts where they appear, interfering the replaying of recorded resolution of one conflict to another, and in such a case, their resolutions are recorded as different variants under the same conflict ID. We still need to adjust garbage collection codepaths for this change, but the basic "replay" functionality is functional with this change. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-03-15rerere: allow multiple variants to existJunio C Hamano
The shape of the conflict in a path determines the conflict ID. The preimage and postimage pair that was recorded for the conflict ID previously may or may not replay well for the conflict we just saw. Currently, we punt when the previous resolution does not cleanly replay, but ideally we should then be able to record the currently conflicted path by assigning a new 'variant', and then record the resolution the user is going to make. Introduce a mechanism to have more than one variant for a given conflict ID; we do not actually assign any variant other than 0th variant yet at this step.

2016-03-15rerere: delay the recording of preimageJunio C Hamano
We record the preimage only when there is no directory to record the conflict we encountered, i.e. when $GIT_DIR/rr-cache/$ID does not exist. As the plan is to allow multiple <preimage,postimage> pairs as variants for the same conflict ID eventually, this logic needs to go. As the first step in that direction, stop the "did we create the directory? Then we record the preimage" logic. Instead, we record if a preimage does not exist when we saw a conflict in a path. Also make sure that we remove a stale postimage, which most likely is totally unrelated to the resolution of this new conflict, when we create a new preimage under $ID when $GIT_DIR/rr-cache/$ID already exists. In later patches, we will further update this logic to be "do we have <preimage,postimage> pair that cleanly resolve the current conflicts? If not, record a new preimage as a new variant", but that does not happen at this stage yet. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-03-15rerere: handle leftover rr-cache/$ID directory and postimage filesJunio C Hamano
If by some accident there is only $GIT_DIR/rr-cache/$ID directory existed, we wouldn't have recorded a preimage for a conflict that is newly encountered, which would mean after a manual resolution, we wouldn't have recorded it by storing the postimage, because the logic used to be "if there is no rr-cache/$ID directory, then we are the first so record the preimage". Instead, record preimage if we do not have one. In addition, if there is only $GIT_DIR/rr-cache/$ID/postimage without corresponding preimage, we would have tried to call into merge() and punted. These would have been a situation frustratingly hard to recover from. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2016-02-08rerere: split conflict ID furtherJunio C Hamano
The plan is to keep assigning the backward compatible conflict ID based on the hash of the (normalized) text of conflicts, keep using that conflict ID as the directory name under $GIT_DIR/rr-cache/, but allow each conflicted path to use a separate "variant" to record resolutions, i.e. having more than one <preimage,postimage> pairs under $GIT_DIR/rr-cache/$ID/ directory. As the first step in that direction, separate the shared "conflict ID" out of the rerere_id structure. The plan is to keep information per $ID in rerere_dir, that can be shared among rerere_id that is per conflicted path. When we are done with rerere(), which can be directly called from other programs like "git apply", "git commit" and "git merge", the shared rerere_dir structures can be freed entirely, so they are not reference-counted and they are not freed when we release rerere_id's that reference them.

2015-09-01rerere: release lockfile in non-writing functionsJeff King
There's a bug in builtin/am.c in which we take a lock on MERGE_RR recursively. But rather than fix am.c, this patch fixes the confusing interface from rerere.c that caused the bug. Read on for the gory details. The setup_rerere() function both reads the existing MERGE_RR file, and takes MERGE_RR.lock. In the rerere() and rerere_forget() functions, we end up in write_rr(), which will then commit the lock file. But for functions like rerere_clear() that do not write to MERGE_RR, we expect the caller to have handled setup_rerere(). That caller would then need to release the lockfile, but it can't; the lock struct is local to rerere.c. For builtin/rerere.c, this is OK. We run a single rerere operation and then exit immediately, which has the side effect of rolling back the lockfile. But in builtin/am.c, this is actively wrong. If we run "git am -3 --skip", we call setup-rerere twice without releasing the lock: 1. The "--skip" causes us to call am_rerere_clear(), which calls setup_rerere(), but never drops the lock. 2. We then proceed to the next patch. 3. The "--3way" may cause us to call rerere() to handle conflicts in that patch, but we are already holding the lock. The lockfile code dies with: BUG: prepare_tempfile_object called for active object We could fix this by having rerere_clear() call rollback_lock_file(). But it feels a bit odd for it to roll back a lockfile that it did not itself take. So let's simplify the interface further, and handle setup_rerere in the function itself, taking away the question from the caller over whether they need to do so. We can give rerere_gc() the same treatment, as well (even though it doesn't have any callers besides builtin/rerere.c at this point). Note that these functions don't take flags from their callers to pass along to setup_rerere; that's OK, because the flags would not be meaningful for what they are doing. Both of those functions need to hold the lock because even though they do not write to MERGE_RR, they are still writing and should be protected from a simultaneous "rerere" run. But rerere_remaining(), "rerere diff", and "rerere status" are all read-only operations. They want to setup_rerere(), but do not care about taking the lock in the first place. Since our update of MERGE_RR is the usual atomic rename done by commit_lock_file, they can just do a lockless read. For that, we teach setup_rerere a READONLY flag to avoid the lock. As a bonus, this pushes builtin/rerere.c's setup_rerere call closer to the functions that use it. Which means that "git rerere totally-bogus-command" will no longer silently exit(0) in a repository without rerere enabled.

2015-08-10memoize common git-path "constant" filesJeff King
One of the most common uses of git_path() is to pass a constant, like git_path("MERGE_MSG"). This has two drawbacks: 1. The return value is a static buffer, and the lifetime is dependent on other calls to git_path, etc. 2. There's no compile-time checking of the pathname. This is OK for a one-off (after all, we have to spell it correctly at least once), but many of these constant strings appear throughout the code. This patch introduces a series of functions to "memoize" these strings, which are essentially globals for the lifetime of the program. We compute the value once, take ownership of the buffer, and return the cached value for subsequent calls. cache.h provides a helper macro for defining these functions as one-liners, and defines a few common ones for global use. Using a macro is a little bit gross, but it does nicely document the purpose of the functions. If we need to touch them all later (e.g., because we learned how to change the git_dir variable at runtime, and need to invalidate all of the stored values), it will be much easier to have the complete list. Note that the shared-global functions have separate, manual declarations. We could do something clever with the macros (e.g., expand it to a declaration in some places, and a declaration _and_ a definition in path.c). But there aren't that many, and it's probably better to stay away from too-magical macros. Likewise, if we abandon the C preprocessor in favor of generating these with a script, we could get much fancier. E.g., normalizing "FOO/BAR-BAZ" into "git_path_foo_bar_baz". But the small amount of saved typing is probably not worth the resulting confusion to readers who want to grep for the function's definition.

2015-07-24rerere: fix benign off-by-one non-bug and clarify codeJunio C Hamano
rerere_io_putconflict() wants to use a limited fixed-sized buf[] on stack repeatedly to formulate a longer string, but its implementation is doubly confusing: * When it knows that the whole thing fits in buf[], it wants to fill early part of buf[] with conflict marker characters, followed by a LF and a NUL. It miscounts the size of the buffer by 1 and does not use the last byte of buf[]. * When it needs to show only the early part of a long conflict marker string (because the whole thing does not fit in buf[]), it adjusts the number of bytes shown in the current round in a strange-looking way. It makes sure that this round does not emit all bytes and leaves at least one byte to the next round, so that "it all fits" case will pick up the rest and show the terminating LF. While this is correct, one needs to stop and think for a while to realize why it is correct without an explanation. Fix the benign off-by-one, and add comments to explain the strange-looking size adjustment. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Explain the internals of rerere as in-code comments. This one covers our thin I/O abstraction to read from either a file or a memory while optionally writing out to a file. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2015-07-24rerere: do not leak mmfile[] for a path with multiple stage #1 entriesJunio C Hamano
A conflicted index can have multiple stage #1 entries when dealing with a criss-cross merge and using the "resolve" merge strategy. Plug the leak by reading only the first one of the same stage entries. Strictly speaking, this fix does change the semantics, in that we used to use the last stage #1 entry as the common ancestor when doing the plain-vanilla three-way merge, but with the leak fix, we will use the first stage #1 entry. But it is not a grave backward compatibility breakage. Either way, we are arbitrarily picking one of multiple stage #1 entries and using it, ignoring others, and there is no meaning in the ordering of these stage #1 entries.

2015-07-24rerere: stop looping unnecessarilyJunio C Hamano
handle_cache() loops 3 times starting from an index entry that is unmerged, while ignoring an entry for a path that is different from what we are looking for. As the index is sorted, once we see a different path, we know we saw all stages for the path we are interested in. Just loop while we see the same path and then break, instead of continuing for 3 times. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2015-07-24rerere: drop want_sp parameter from is_cmarker()Junio C Hamano
As the nature of the conflict marker line determines if there should be a SP and label after it, the caller shouldn't have to pass the parameter redundantly. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
