2015-03-20read-cache: fix reading of split indexLibravatar Thomas Gummerer1-19/+23
The split index extension uses ewah bitmaps to mark index entries as deleted, instead of removing them from the index directly. This can result in an on-disk index, in which entries of stage #0 and higher stages appear, which are removed later when the index bases are merged. 15999d0 read_index_from(): catch out of order entries when reading an index file introduces a check which checks if the entries are in order after each index entry is read in do_read_index. This check may however fail when a split index is read. Fix this by moving checking the index after we know there is no split index or after the split index bases are successfully merged instead.

2015-03-20refs.c: drop curate_packed_refsLibravatar Jeff King2-67/+2
When we delete a ref, we have to rewrite the entire packed-refs file. We take this opportunity to "curate" the packed-refs file and drop any entries that are crufty or broken. Dropping broken entries (e.g., with bogus names, or ones that point to missing objects) is actively a bad idea, as it means that we lose any notion that the data was there in the first place. Aside from the general hackiness that we might lose any information about ref "foo" while deleting an unrelated ref "bar", this may seriously hamper any attempts by the user at recovering from the corruption in "foo". They will lose the sha1 and name of "foo"; the exact pointer may still be useful even if they recover missing objects from a different copy of the repository. But worse, once the ref is gone, there is no trace of the corruption. A follow-up "git prune" may delete objects, even though it would otherwise bail when seeing corruption. We could just drop the "broken" bits from curate_packed_refs, and continue to drop the "crufty" bits: refs whose loose counterpart exists in the filesystem. This is not wrong to do, and it does have the advantage that we may write out a slightly smaller packed-refs file. But it has two disadvantages: 1. It is a potential source of races or mistakes with respect to these refs that are otherwise unrelated to the operation. To my knowledge, there aren't any active problems in this area, but it seems like an unnecessary risk. 2. We have to spend time looking up the matching loose refs for every item in the packed-refs file. If you have a large number of packed refs that do not change, that outweighs the benefit from writing out a smaller packed-refs file (it doesn't get smaller, and you do a bunch of directory traversal to find that out).

2015-03-20repack: turn on "ref paranoia" when doing a destructive repackLibravatar Jeff King2-3/+7
If we are repacking with "-ad", we will drop any unreachable objects. Likewise, using "-Ad --unpack-unreachable=<time>" will drop any old, unreachable objects. In these cases, we want to make sure the reachability we compute with "--all" is complete. We can do this by passing GIT_REF_PARANOIA=1 in the environment to pack-objects. Note that "-Ad" is safe already, because it only loosens unreachable objects. It is up to "git prune" to avoid deleting them.

2015-03-20prune: turn on ref_paranoia flagLibravatar Jeff King2-2/+3
Prune should know about broken objects at the tips of refs, so that we can feed them to our traversal rather than ignoring them. It's better for us to abort the operation on the broken object than it is to start deleting objects with an incomplete view of the reachability namespace. Note that for missing objects, aborting is the best we can do. For a badly-named ref, we technically could use its sha1 as a reachability tip. However, the iteration code just feeds us a null sha1, so there would be a reasonable amount of code involved to pass down our wishes. It's not really worth trying to do better, because this is a case that should happen extremely rarely, and the message we provide: fatal: unable to parse object: refs/heads/bogus:name is probably enough to point the user in the right direction.

2015-03-20refs: introduce a "ref paranoia" flagLibravatar Jeff King4-0/+25
Most operations that iterate over refs are happy to ignore broken cruft. However, some operations should be performed with knowledge of these broken refs, because it is better for the operation to choke on a missing object than it is to silently pretend that the ref did not exist (e.g., if we are computing the set of reachable tips in order to prune objects). These processes could just call for_each_rawref, except that ref iteration is often hidden behind other interfaces. For instance, for a destructive "repack -ad", we would have to inform "pack-objects" that we are destructive, and then it would in turn have to tell the revision code that our "--all" should include broken refs. It's much simpler to just set a global for "dangerous" operations that includes broken refs in all iterations.

2015-03-20t5312: test object deletion code paths in a corrupted repositoryLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+114
When we are doing a destructive operation like "git prune", we want to be extra careful that the set of reachable tips we compute is valid. If there is any corruption or oddity, we are better off aborting the operation and letting the user figure things out rather than plowing ahead and possibly deleting some data that cannot be recovered. The tests here include: 1. Pruning objects mentioned only be refs with invalid names. This used to abort prior to d0f810f (refs.c: allow listing and deleting badly named refs, 2014-09-03), but since then we silently ignore the tip. Likewise, we test repacking that can drop objects (either "-ad", which drops anything unreachable, or "-Ad --unpack-unreachable=<time>", which tries to optimize out a loose object write that would be directly pruned). 2. Pruning objects when some refs point to missing objects. We don't know whether any dangling objects would have been reachable from the missing objects. We are better to keep them around, as they are better than nothing for helping the user recover history. 3. Packed refs that point to missing objects can sometimes be dropped. By itself, this is more of an annoyance (you do not have the object anyway; even if you can recover it from elsewhere, all you are losing is a placeholder for your state at the time of corruption). But coupled with (2), if we drop the ref and then go on to prune, we may lose unrecoverable objects. Note that we use test_might_fail for some of the operations. In some cases, it would be appropriate to abort the operation, and in others, it might be acceptable to continue but taking the information into account. The tests don't care either way, and check only for data loss. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2015-03-19fetch-pack: remove dead assignment to ref->new_sha1Libravatar Jeff King1-3/+0
In everything_local(), we used to assign the current ref's value found in ref->old_sha1 to ref->new_sha1 when we already have all the necessary objects to complete the history leading to that commit. This copying was broken at 49bb805e (Do not ask for objects known to be complete., 2005-10-19) and ever since we instead stuffed a random bytes in ref->new_sha1 here. No code complained or failed due to this breakage. It turns out that no code path that comes after this assignment even looks at ref->new_sha1 at all. - The only caller of everything_local(), do_fetch_pack(), returns this list of refs, whose element has bogus new_sha1 values, to its caller. It does not look at the elements itself, but does pass them to find_common, which looks only at the name and old_sha1 fields. - The only caller of do_fetch_pack(), fetch_pack(), returns this list to its caller. It does not look at the elements nor act on them. - One of the two callers of fetch_pack() is cmd_fetch_pack(), the top-level that implements "git fetch-pack". The only thing it looks at in the elements of the returned ref list is the old_sha1 and name fields. - The other caller of fetch_pack() is fetch_refs_via_pack() in the transport layer, which is a helper that implements "git fetch". It only cares about whether the returned list is empty (i.e. failed to fetch anything). Just drop the bogus assignment, that is not even necessary. The remote-tracking refs are updated based on a different list and not using the ref list being manipulated by this code path; the caller do_fetch_pack() created a copy of that real ref list and passed the copy down to this function, and modifying the elements here does not affect anything.

2015-03-19filter_ref: make a copy of extra "sought" entriesLibravatar Jeff King2-6/+12
If the server supports allow_tip_sha1_in_want, we add any unmatched raw-sha1 entries in our "sought" list of refs to the list of refs we will ask the other side for. We do so by inserting the original "struct ref" directly into our list, rather than making a copy. This has several problems. The most minor problem is that one cannot ever free the resulting list; it contains structs that are copies of the remote refs (made earlier by fetch_pack) along with sought refs that are referenced elsewhere. But more importantly that we set the ref->next pointer to NULL, chopping off the remainder of any existing list that the ref was a part of. We get the set of "sought" refs in an array rather than a linked list, but that array is often in turn generated from a list. The test modification in t5516 demonstrates this. Rather than fetching just an exact sha1, we fetch that sha1 plus another ref: - we build a linked list of refs to fetch when do_fetch calls get_ref_map; the exact sha1 is first, followed by the named ref ("refs/heads/extra" in this case). - we pass that linked list to transport_fetch_ref, which squashes it into an array of pointers - that array goes to fetch_pack, which calls filter_ref. There we generate the want list from a mix of what the remote side has advertised, and the "sought" entry for the exact sha1. We set the sought entry's "next" pointer to NULL. - after we return from transport_fetch_refs, we then try to update the refs by following the linked list. But our list is now truncated, and we do not update refs/heads/extra at all. We can fix this by making a copy of the ref. There's nothing that fetch_pack does to it that must be reflected in the original "sought" list (and indeed, if that were the case we would have a serious bug, because it is only exact-sha1 entries which are treated this way).

2015-03-19filter_ref: avoid overwriting ref->old_sha1 with garbageLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+5
If the server supports allow_tip_sha1_in_want, then fetch-pack's filter_refs function tries to check whether a ref is a request for a straight sha1 by running: if (get_sha1_hex(ref->name, ref->old_sha1)) ... I.e., we are using get_sha1_hex to ask "is this ref name a sha1?". If it is true, then the contents of ref->old_sha1 will end up unchanged. But if it is false, then get_sha1_hex makes no guarantees about what it has written. With a ref name like "abcdefoo", we would overwrite 3 bytes of ref->old_sha1 before realizing that it was not a sha1. This is likely not a problem in practice, as anything in refs->name (besides a sha1) will start with "refs/", meaning that we would notice on the first character that there is a problem. Still, we are making assumptions about the state left in the output when get_sha1_hex returns an error (e.g., it could start from the end of the string, or error check the values only once they were placed in the output). It's better to be defensive. We could just check that we have exactly 40 characters of sha1. But let's be even more careful and make sure that we have a 40-char hex refname that matches what is in old_sha1. This is perhaps overly defensive, but spells out our assumptions clearly.

2015-03-19clone: initialize atexit cleanup handler earlierLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+5
If clone fails, we generally try to clean up any directories we've created. We do this by installing an atexit handler, so that we don't have to manually trigger cleanup. However, since we install this after touching the filesystem, any errors between our initial mkdir() and our atexit() call will result in us leaving a crufty directory around. We can fix this by moving our atexit() call earlier. It's OK to do it before the junk_work_tree variable is set, because remove_junk makes sure the variable is initialized. This means we "activate" the handler by assigning to the junk_work_tree variable, which we now bump down to just after we call mkdir(). We probably do not want to do it before, because a plausible reason for mkdir() to fail is EEXIST (i.e., we are racing with another "git init"), and we would not want to remove their work. OTOH, this is probably not that big a deal; we will allow cloning into an empty directory (and skip the mkdir), which is already racy (i.e., one clone may see the other's empty dir and start writing into it). Still, it does not hurt to err on the side of caution here. Note that writing into junk_work_tree and junk_git_dir after installing the handler is also technically racy, as we call our handler on an async signal. Depending on the platform, we could see a sheared write to the variables. Traditionally we have not worried about this, and indeed we already do this later in the function. If we want to address that, it can come as a separate topic. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2015-03-19sha1fd_check: die when we cannot open the fileLibravatar Jeff King1-7/+3
Right now we return a NULL "struct sha1file" if we encounter an error. However, the sole caller (write_idx_file) does not check the return value, and will segfault if we hit this case. One option would be to handle the error in the caller. However, there's really nothing for it to do but die. This code path is hit during "git index-pack --verify"; after we verify the packfile, we check that the ".idx" we would generate from it is byte-wise identical to what is on disk. We hit the error (and segfault) if we can't open the .idx file (a likely cause of this is that somebody else ran "git repack -ad" while we were verifying). Since we can't complete the requested verification, we really have no choice but to die. Furthermore, the rest of the sha1fd_* functions simply die on errors. So if were to open the file successfully, for example, and then hit a read error, sha1write would call die() for us. So pushing the die() down into sha1fd_check keeps the interface consistent.

When the pager is "less", anything output by previous commands and not ended with a newline is overwritten: $ echo -n aaa; echo bbb aaabbb $ echo -n aaa; git grep -q foo; echo bbb bbb This can be worked around, for example, by making sure STDOUT is not a TTY or more directly by setting git's pager to "cat": $ echo -n aaa; git grep -q foo > /dev/null; echo bbb aaabbb $ echo -n aaa; PAGER=cat git grep -q foo; echo bbb aaabbb But prevent calling the pager in the first place, which would also save an unnecessary fork().
