2014-10-15wrapper.c: add a new function unlink_or_msgRonnie Sahlberg

Simplify the function warn_if_unremovable slightly. Additionally, change behaviour slightly. If we failed to remove the object because the object does not exist, we can still return success back to the caller since none of the callers depend on "fail if the file did not exist".

2014-08-28memory_limit: use git_env_ulong() to parse GIT_ALLOC_LIMITSteffen Prohaska
GIT_ALLOC_LIMIT limits xmalloc()'s size, which is of type size_t. Better use git_env_ulong() to parse the environment variable, so that the postfixes 'k', 'm', and 'g' can be used; and use size_t to store the limit for consistency. The change to size_t has no direct practical impact, because the environment variable is only meant to be used for our own tests, and we use it to test small sizes. The cast of size in the call to die() is changed to uintmax_t to match the format string PRIuMAX. Signed-off-by: Steffen Prohaska <prohaska@zib.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-04-10read-cache.c: verify index file before we opportunistically update itYiannis Marangos
Before we proceed to opportunistically update the index (often done by an otherwise read-only operation like "git status" and "git diff" that internally refreshes the index), we must verify that the current index file is the same as the one that we read earlier before we took the lock on it, in order to avoid a possible race. In the example below git-status does "opportunistic update" and git-rebase updates the index, but the race can happen in general. 1. process A calls git-rebase (or does anything that uses the index) 2. process A applies 1st commit 3. process B calls git-status (or does anything that updates the index) 4. process B reads index 5. process A applies 2nd commit 6. process B takes the lock, then overwrites process A's changes. 7. process A applies 3rd commit As an end result the 3rd commit will have a revert of the 2nd commit. When process B takes the lock, it needs to make sure that the index hasn't changed since step 4.

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.

2013-04-15config: allow inaccessible configuration under $HOMEJonathan Nieder
The changes v1.7.12.1~2^2~4 (config: warn on inaccessible files, 2012-08-21) and v1.8.1.1~22^2~2 (config: treat user and xdg config permission problems as errors, 2012-10-13) were intended to prevent important configuration (think "[transfer] fsckobjects") from being ignored when the configuration is unintentionally unreadable (for example with EIO on a flaky filesystem, or with ENOMEM due to a DoS attack). Usually ~/.gitconfig and ~/.config/git are readable by the current user, and if they aren't then it would be easy to fix those permissions, so the damage from adding this check should have been minimal. Unfortunately the access() check often trips when git is being run as a server. A daemon (such as inetd or git-daemon) starts as "root", creates a listening socket, and then drops privileges, meaning that when git commands are invoked they cannot access $HOME and die with fatal: unable to access '/root/.config/git/config': Permission denied Any patch to fix this would have one of three problems: 1. We annoy sysadmins who need to take an extra step to handle HOME when dropping privileges (the current behavior, or any other proposal that they have to opt into). 2. We annoy sysadmins who want to set HOME when dropping privileges, either by making what they want to do impossible, or making them set an extra variable or option to accomplish what used to work (e.g., a patch to git-daemon to set HOME when --user is passed). 3. We loosen the check, so some cases which might be noteworthy are not caught. This patch is of type (3). Treat user and xdg configuration that are inaccessible due to permissions (EACCES) as though no user configuration was provided at all. An alternative method would be to check if $HOME is readable, but that would not help in cases where the user who dropped privileges had a globally readable HOME with only .config or .gitconfig being private. This does not change the behavior when /etc/gitconfig or .git/config is unreadable (since those are more serious configuration errors), nor when ~/.gitconfig or ~/.config/git is unreadable due to problems other than permissions.

2012-12-18xmkstemp(): avoid showing truncated template more carefullyJunio C Hamano
Some implementations of xmkstemp() leaves the given in/out buffer truncated when they return with failure. 6cf6bb3 (Improve error messages when temporary file creation fails, 2010-12-18) attempted to show the real filename we tried to create (but failed), and if that is not available due to such truncation, to show the original template that was given by the caller. But it failed to take into account that the given template could have "directory/" in front, in which case the truncation point may not be template[0] but somewhere else.

2012-10-14config: treat user and xdg config permission problems as errorsJonathan Nieder
Git reads multiple configuration files: settings come first from the system config file (typically /etc/gitconfig), then the xdg config file (typically ~/.config/git/config), then the user's dotfile (~/.gitconfig), then the repository configuration (.git/config). Git has always used access(2) to decide whether to use each file; as an unfortunate side effect, that means that if one of these files is unreadable (e.g., EPERM or EIO), git skips it. So if I use ~/.gitconfig to override some settings but make a mistake and give it the wrong permissions then I am subject to the settings the sysadmin chose for /etc/gitconfig. Better to error out and ask the user to correct the problem. This only affects the user and xdg config files, since the user presumably has enough access to fix their permissions. If the system config file is unreadable, the best we can do is to warn about it so the user knows to notify someone and get on with work in the meantime.

The access_or_warn() function is used to check for optional configuration files like .gitconfig and .gitignore and warn when they are not accessible due to a configuration issue (e.g., bad permissions). It is not supposed to complain when a file is simply missing. Noticed on a system where ~/.config/git was a file --- when the new XDG_CONFIG_HOME support looks for ~/.config/git/config it should ignore ~/.config/git instead of printing irritating warnings: $ git status -s warning: unable to access '/home/jrn/.config/git/config': Not a directory warning: unable to access '/home/jrn/.config/git/config': Not a directory warning: unable to access '/home/jrn/.config/git/config': Not a directory warning: unable to access '/home/jrn/.config/git/config': Not a directory Compare v1.7.12.1~2^2 (attr:failure to open a .gitattributes file is OK with ENOTDIR, 2012-09-13).

2012-08-21warn_on_inaccessible(): a helper to warn on inaccessible pathsJunio C Hamano
The previous series introduced warnings to multiple places, but it could become tiring to see the warning on the same path over and over again during a single run of Git. Making just one function responsible for issuing this warning, we could later choose to keep track of which paths we issued a warning (it would involve a hash table of paths after running them through real_path() or something) in order to reduce noise. Right now we do not know if the noise reduction is necessary, but it still would be a good code reduction/sharing anyway. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-08-21config: warn on inaccessible filesJeff King
Before reading a config file, we check "!access(path, R_OK)" to make sure that the file exists and is readable. If it's not, then we silently ignore it. For the case of ENOENT, this is fine, as the presence of the file is optional. For other cases, though, it may indicate a configuration error (e.g., not having permissions to read the file). Let's print a warning in these cases to let the user know. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-05-22ident: report passwd errors with a more friendly messageJeff King
When getpwuid fails, we give a cute but cryptic message. While it makes sense if you know that getpwuid or identity functions are being called, this code is triggered behind the scenes by quite a few git commands these days (e.g., receive-pack on a remote server might use it for a reflog; the current message is hard to distinguish from an authentication error). Let's switch to something that gives a little more context. While we're at it, we can factor out all of the cut-and-pastes of the "you don't exist" message into a wrapper function. Rather than provide xgetpwuid, let's make it even more specific to just getting the passwd entry for the current uid. That's the only way we use getpwuid anyway, and it lets us make an even more specific error message. The current message also fails to mention errno. While the usual cause for getpwuid failing is that the user does not exist, mentioning errno makes it easier to diagnose these problems. Note that POSIX specifies that errno remain untouched if the passwd entry does not exist (but will be set on actual errors), whereas some systems will return ENOENT or similar for a missing entry. We handle both cases in our wrapper. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-05-26read_in_full: always report errorsJeff King
The read_in_full function repeatedly calls read() to fill a buffer. If the first read() returns an error, we notify the caller by returning the error. However, if we read some data and then get an error on a subsequent read, we simply return the amount of data that we did read, and the caller is unaware of the error. This makes the tradeoff that seeing the partial data is more important than the fact that an error occurred. In practice, this is generally not the case; we care more if an error occurred, and should throw away any partial data. I audited the current callers. In most cases, this will make no difference at all, as they do: if (read_in_full(fd, buf, size) != size) error("short read"); However, it will help in a few cases: 1. In sha1_file.c:index_stream, we would fail to notice errors in the incoming stream. 2. When reading symbolic refs in resolve_ref, we would fail to notice errors and potentially use a truncated ref name. 3. In various places, we will get much better error messages. For example, callers of safe_read would erroneously print "the remote end hung up unexpectedly" instead of showing the read error.

2010-11-10Remove pack file handling dependency from wrapper.oJonathan Nieder
As v1.7.0-rc0~43 (slim down "git show-index", 2010-01-21) explains, use of xmalloc() brings in a dependency on zlib, the sha1 lib, and the rest of git's object file access machinery via try_to_free_pack_memory. That is overkill when xmalloc is just being used as a convenience wrapper to exit when no memory is available. So defer setting try_to_free_pack_memory as try_to_free_routine until the first packfile is opened in add_packed_git().

2010-02-22Use git_mkstemp_mode and xmkstemp_mode in odb_mkstemp, not chmod later.Matthieu Moy
We used to create 0600 files, and then use chmod to set the group and other permission bits to the umask. This usually has the same effect as a normal file creation with a umask. But in the presence of ACLs, the group permission plays the role of the ACL mask: the "g" bits of newly created files are chosen according to default ACL mask of the directory, not according to the umask, and doing a chmod() on these "g" bits affect the ACL's mask instead of actual group permission. In other words, creating files with 0600 and then doing a chmod to the umask creates files which are unreadable by users allowed in the default ACL. To create the files without breaking ACLs, we let the umask do it's job at the file's creation time, and get rid of the later chmod.

2009-06-27Convert existing die(..., strerror(errno)) to die_errno()Thomas Rast
Change calls to die(..., strerror(errno)) to use the new die_errno(). In the process, also make slight style adjustments: at least state _something_ about the function that failed (instead of just printing the pathname), and put paths in single quotes.

2009-04-30Introduce an unlink(2) wrapper which gives warning if unlink failedAlex Riesen
This seem to be a very common pattern in the current code. The function prints a generic removal failure message, the file name which failed and readable errno presentation. The function preserves errno and always returns the value unlink(2) returned, but prints no message for ENOENT, as it was the most often filtered out in the code calling unlink. Besides, removing a file is anyway the purpose of calling unlink. Signed-off-by: Alex Riesen <raa.lkml@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* jc/maint-1.6.0-pack-directory: Fix odb_mkstemp() on AIX
2009-02-26Fix odb_mkstemp() on AIXMike Ralphson
The AIX mkstemp() modifies its template parameter to an empty string if the call fails. The existing code had already recomputed the template, but too late to be good. See also 6ff6af62, which fixed this problem in a different spot.
