2017-07-26sub-process: refactor handshake to common functionJonathan Tan
Refactor, into a common function, the version and capability negotiation done when invoking a long-running process as a clean or smudge filter. This will be useful for other Git code that needs to interact similarly with a long-running process. As you can see in the change to t0021, this commit changes the error message reported when the long-running process does not introduce itself with the expected "server"-terminated line. Originally, the error message reports that the filter "does not support filter protocol version 2", differentiating between the old single-file filter protocol and the new multi-file filter protocol - I have updated it to something more generic and useful.

2017-06-30convert: add "status=delayed" to filter process protocolLars Schneider
Some `clean` / `smudge` filters may require a significant amount of time to process a single blob (e.g. the Git LFS smudge filter might perform network requests). During this process the Git checkout operation is blocked and Git needs to wait until the filter is done to continue with the checkout. Teach the filter process protocol, introduced in edcc8581 ("convert: add filter.<driver>.process option", 2016-10-16), to accept the status "delayed" as response to a filter request. Upon this response Git continues with the checkout operation. After the checkout operation Git calls "finish_delayed_checkout" which queries the filter for remaining blobs. If the filter is still working on the completion, then the filter is expected to block. If the filter has completed all remaining blobs then an empty response is expected. Git has a multiple code paths that checkout a blob. Support delayed checkouts only in `clone` (in unpack-trees.c) and `checkout` operations for now. The optimization is most effective in these code paths as all files of the tree are processed.

2017-06-29t0021: write "OUT <size>" only on successLars Schneider
"rot13-filter.pl" always writes "OUT <size>" to the debug log at the end of a response. This works perfectly for the existing responses "abort", "error", and "success". A new response "delayed", that will be introduced in a subsequent patch, accepts the input without giving the filtered result right away. At this point we cannot know the size of the response. Therefore, we do not write "OUT <size>" for "delayed" responses. To simplify the code we do not write "OUT <size>" for "abort" and "error" responses either as their size is always zero.

2016-12-18t0021: fix flaky testLars Schneider
t0021.15 creates files, adds them to the index, and commits them. All this usually happens in a test run within the same second and Git cannot know if the files have been changed between `add` and `commit`. Thus, Git has to run the clean filter in both operations. Sometimes these invocations spread over two different seconds and Git can infer that the files were not changed between `add` and `commit` based on their modification timestamp. The test would fail as it expects the filter invocation. Remove this expectation to make the test stable.

2016-11-03t0021: use $PERL_PATH for rot13-filter.plJeff King
The rot13-filter.pl script hardcodes "#!/usr/bin/perl", and does not respect $PERL_PATH at all. That is a problem if the system does not have perl at that path, or if it has a perl that is too old to run a complicated script like the rot13-filter (but PERL_PATH points to a more modern one). We can fix this by using write_script() to create a new copy of the script with the correct #!-line. In theory we could move the whole script inside t0021-conversion.sh rather than having it as an auxiliary file, but it's long enough that it just makes things harder to read. As a bonus, we can stop using the full path to the script in the filter-process config we add (because the trash directory is in our PATH). Not only is this shorter, but it sidesteps any shell-quoting issues. The original was broken when $TEST_DIRECTORY contained a space, because it was interpolated in the outer script.

2016-10-17convert: add filter.<driver>.process optionLars Schneider
Git's clean/smudge mechanism invokes an external filter process for every single blob that is affected by a filter. If Git filters a lot of blobs then the startup time of the external filter processes can become a significant part of the overall Git execution time. In a preliminary performance test this developer used a clean/smudge filter written in golang to filter 12,000 files. This process took 364s with the existing filter mechanism and 5s with the new mechanism. See details here: https://github.com/github/git-lfs/pull/1382 This patch adds the `filter.<driver>.process` string option which, if used, keeps the external filter process running and processes all blobs with the packet format (pkt-line) based protocol over standard input and standard output. The full protocol is explained in detail in `Documentation/gitattributes.txt`. A few key decisions: * The long running filter process is referred to as filter protocol version 2 because the existing single shot filter invocation is considered version 1. * Git sends a welcome message and expects a response right after the external filter process has started. This ensures that Git will not hang if a version 1 filter is incorrectly used with the filter.<driver>.process option for version 2 filters. In addition, Git can detect this kind of error and warn the user. * The status of a filter operation (e.g. "success" or "error) is set before the actual response and (if necessary!) re-set after the response. The advantage of this two step status response is that if the filter detects an error early, then the filter can communicate this and Git does not even need to create structures to read the response. * All status responses are pkt-line lists terminated with a flush packet. This allows us to send other status fields with the same protocol in the future.

2016-07-22diff: do not reuse worktree files that need "clean" conversionJeff King
When accessing a blob for a diff, we may try to reuse file contents in the working tree, under the theory that it is faster to mmap those file contents than it would be to extract the content from the object database. When we have to filter those contents, though, that assumption does not hold. Even for our internal conversions like CRLF, we have to allocate and fill a new buffer anyway. But much worse, for external clean filters we have to exec an arbitrary script, and we have no idea how expensive it may be to run. So let's skip this optimization when conversion into git's "clean" form is required. This applies whenever the "want_file" flag is false. When it's true, the caller actually wants the smudged worktree contents, which the reused file by definition already has (in fact, this is a key optimization going the other direction, since reusing the worktree file there lets us skip smudge filters).

2016-01-29convert: treat an empty string for clean/smudge filters as "cat"Lars Schneider
Once a lower-priority configuration file defines a clean or smudge filter, there is no convenient way to override it to produce as-is output. Even though the configuration mechanism implements "the last one wins" semantics, you cannot set them to an empty string and expect them to work, as apply_filter() would try to run the empty string as an external command and fail. The conversion is not done, but the function would still report a failure to convert. Even though resetting the variable to "cat" (i.e. pass the data back as-is and report success) is an obvious and a viable way to solve this, it is wasteful to spawn an external process just as a workaround. Instead, teach apply_filter() to treat an empty string as a no-op filter that always returns successfully its input as-is without conversion.

2015-05-18sha1_file: pass empty buffer to index empty fileJim Hill
`git add` of an empty file with a filter pops complaints from `copy_fd` about a bad file descriptor. This traces back to these lines in sha1_file.c:index_core: if (!size) { ret = index_mem(sha1, NULL, size, type, path, flags); The problem here is that content to be added to the index can be supplied from an fd, or from a memory buffer, or from a pathname. This call is supplying a NULL buffer pointer and a zero size. Downstream logic takes the complete absence of a buffer to mean the data is to be found elsewhere -- for instance, these, from convert.c: if (params->src) { write_err = (write_in_full(child_process.in, params->src, params->size) < 0); } else { write_err = copy_fd(params->fd, child_process.in); } ~If there's a buffer, write from that, otherwise the data must be coming from an open fd.~ Perfectly reasonable logic in a routine that's going to write from either a buffer or an fd. So change `index_core` to supply an empty buffer when indexing an empty file. There's a patch out there that instead changes the logic quoted above to take a `-1` fd to mean "use the buffer", but it seems to me that the distinction between a missing buffer and an empty one carries intrinsic semantics, where the logic change is adapting the code to handle incorrect arguments.

2014-08-28convert: stream from fd to required clean filter to reduce used address spaceSteffen Prohaska
The data is streamed to the filter process anyway. Better avoid mapping the file if possible. This is especially useful if a clean filter reduces the size, for example if it computes a sha1 for binary data, like git media. The file size that the previous implementation could handle was limited by the available address space; large files for example could not be handled with (32-bit) msysgit. The new implementation can filter files of any size as long as the filter output is small enough. The new code path is only taken if the filter is required. The filter consumes data directly from the fd. If it fails, the original data is not immediately available. The condition can easily be handled as a fatal error, which is expected for a required filter anyway. If the filter was not required, the condition would need to be handled in a different way, like seeking to 0 and reading the data. But this would require more restructuring of the code and is probably not worth it. The obvious approach of falling back to reading all data would not help achieving the main purpose of this patch, which is to handle large files with limited address space. If reading all data is an option, we can simply take the old code path right away and mmap the entire file. The environment variable GIT_MMAP_LIMIT, which has been introduced in a previous commit is used to test that the expected code path is taken. A related test that exercises required filters is modified to verify that the data actually has been modified on its way from the file system to the object store.

2013-08-20xread, xwrite: limit size of IO to 8MBSteffen Prohaska
Checking out 2GB or more through an external filter (see test) fails on Mac OS X 10.8.4 (12E55) for a 64-bit executable with: error: read from external filter cat failed error: cannot feed the input to external filter cat error: cat died of signal 13 error: external filter cat failed 141 error: external filter cat failed The reason is that read() immediately returns with EINVAL when asked to read more than 2GB. According to POSIX [1], if the value of nbyte passed to read() is greater than SSIZE_MAX, the result is implementation-defined. The write function has the same restriction [2]. Since OS X still supports running 32-bit executables, the 32-bit limit (SSIZE_MAX = INT_MAX = 2GB - 1) seems to be also imposed on 64-bit executables under certain conditions. For write, the problem has been addressed earlier [6c642a]. Address the problem for read() and write() differently, by limiting size of IO chunks unconditionally on all platforms in xread() and xwrite(). Large chunks only cause problems, like causing latencies when killing the process, even if OS X was not buggy. Doing IO in reasonably sized smaller chunks should have no negative impact on performance. The compat wrapper clipped_write() introduced earlier [6c642a] is not needed anymore. It will be reverted in a separate commit. The new test catches read and write problems. Note that 'git add' exits with 0 even if it prints filtering errors to stderr. The test, therefore, checks stderr. 'git add' should probably be changed (sometime in another commit) to exit with nonzero if filtering fails. The test could then be changed to use test_must_fail.

2012-02-17Add a setting to require a filter to be successfulJehan Bing
By default, a missing filter driver or a failure from the filter driver is not an error, but merely makes the filter operation a no-op pass through. This is useful to massage the content into a shape that is more convenient for the platform, filesystem, and the user to use, and the content filter mechanism is not used to turn something unusable into usable. However, we could also use of the content filtering mechanism and store the content that cannot be directly used in the repository (e.g. a UUID that refers to the true content stored outside git, or an encrypted content) and turn it into a usable form upon checkout (e.g. download the external content, or decrypt the encrypted content). For such a use case, the content cannot be used when filter driver fails, and we need a way to tell Git to abort the whole operation for such a failing or missing filter driver. Add a new "filter.<driver>.required" configuration variable to mark the second use case. When it is set, git will abort the operation when the filter driver does not exist or exits with a non-zero status code.
