#ifndef LOCKFILE_H #define LOCKFILE_H /* * File write-locks as used by Git. * * For an overview of how to use the lockfile API, please see * * Documentation/technical/api-lockfile.txt * * This module keeps track of all locked files in lock_file_list for * use at cleanup. This list and the lock_file objects that comprise * it must be kept in self-consistent states at all time, because the * program can be interrupted any time by a signal, in which case the * signal handler will walk through the list attempting to clean up * any open lock files. * * A lockfile is owned by the process that created it. The lock_file * object has an "owner" field that records its owner. This field is * used to prevent a forked process from closing a lockfile created by * its parent. * * The possible states of a lock_file object are as follows: * * - Uninitialized. In this state the object's on_list field must be * zero but the rest of its contents need not be initialized. As * soon as the object is used in any way, it is irrevocably * registered in the lock_file_list, and on_list is set. * * - Locked, lockfile open (after hold_lock_file_for_update(), * hold_lock_file_for_append(), or reopen_lock_file()). In this * state: * - the lockfile exists * - active is set * - filename holds the filename of the lockfile * - fd holds a file descriptor open for writing to the lockfile * - fp holds a pointer to an open FILE object if and only if * fdopen_lock_file() has been called on the object * - owner holds the PID of the process that locked the file * * - Locked, lockfile closed (after successful close_lock_file()). * Same as the previous state, except that the lockfile is closed * and fd is -1. * * - Unlocked (after commit_lock_file(), commit_lock_file_to(), * rollback_lock_file(), a failed attempt to lock, or a failed * close_lock_file()). In this state: * - active is unset * - filename is empty (usually, though there are transitory * states in which this condition doesn't hold). Client code should * *not* rely on the filename being empty in this state. * - fd is -1 * - the object is left registered in the lock_file_list, and * on_list is set. */ struct lock_file { struct lock_file *volatile next; volatile sig_atomic_t active; volatile int fd; FILE *volatile fp; volatile pid_t owner; char on_list; struct strbuf filename; }; /* String appended to a filename to derive the lockfile name: */ #define LOCK_SUFFIX ".lock" #define LOCK_SUFFIX_LEN 5 #define LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR 1 #define LOCK_NO_DEREF 2 extern void unable_to_lock_message(const char *path, int err, struct strbuf *buf); extern NORETURN void unable_to_lock_die(const char *path, int err); extern int hold_lock_file_for_update(struct lock_file *, const char *path, int); extern int hold_lock_file_for_append(struct lock_file *, const char *path, int); extern FILE *fdopen_lock_file(struct lock_file *, const char *mode); extern char *get_locked_file_path(struct lock_file *); extern int commit_lock_file_to(struct lock_file *, const char *path); extern int commit_lock_file(struct lock_file *); extern int reopen_lock_file(struct lock_file *); extern int close_lock_file(struct lock_file *); extern void rollback_lock_file(struct lock_file *); #endif /* LOCKFILE_H */
