2016-06-27xwrite: poll on non-blocking FDsLibravatar Eric Wong1-2/+20
write(2) can hit the same EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK errors as read(2), so busy-looping on a non-blocking FD is a waste of resources. Currently, I do not know of a way for this happen: * the NonBlocking directive in systemd does not apply to stdin, stdout, or stderr. * xinetd provides no way to set the non-blocking flag at all But theoretically, it's possible a careless C10K HTTP server could use pipe2(..., O_NONBLOCK) to setup a pipe for git-http-backend with only the intent to use non-blocking reads; but accidentally leave non-blocking set on the write end passed as stdout to git-upload-pack.

2016-06-27xread: retry after poll on EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCKLibravatar Eric Wong1-0/+1
We should continue to loop after EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK as the intent of xread is to try until there is available data, EOF, or an unrecoverable error. Fixes: 1079c4be0b720 ("xread: poll on non blocking fds") Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <e@80x24.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-03-01run-command: do not pass child process data into callbacksLibravatar Stefan Beller4-32/+9
The expected way to pass data into the callback is to pass them via the customizable callback pointer. The error reporting in default_{start_failure, task_finished} is not user friendly enough, that we want to encourage using the child data for such purposes. Furthermore the struct child data is cleaned by the run-command API, before we access them in the callbacks, leading to use-after-free situations.

2015-12-16run-command: add an asynchronous parallel child processorLibravatar Stefan Beller4-1/+522
This allows to run external commands in parallel with ordered output on stderr. If we run external commands in parallel we cannot pipe the output directly to the our stdout/err as it would mix up. So each process's output will flow through a pipe, which we buffer. One subprocess can be directly piped to out stdout/err for a low latency feedback to the user. Example: Let's assume we have 5 submodules A,B,C,D,E and each fetch takes a different amount of time as the different submodules vary in size, then the output of fetches in sequential order might look like this: time --> output: |---A---| |-B-| |-------C-------| |-D-| |-E-| When we schedule these submodules into maximal two parallel processes, a schedule and sample output over time may look like this: process 1: |---A---| |-D-| |-E-| process 2: |-B-| |-------C-------| output: |---A---|B|---C-------|DE So A will be perceived as it would run normally in the single child version. As B has finished by the time A is done, we can dump its whole progress buffer on stderr, such that it looks like it finished in no time. Once that is done, C is determined to be the visible child and its progress will be reported in real time. So this way of output is really good for human consumption, as it only changes the timing, not the actual output. For machine consumption the output needs to be prepared in the tasks, by either having a prefix per line or per block to indicate whose tasks output is displayed, because the output order may not follow the original sequential ordering: |----A----| |--B--| |-C-| will be scheduled to be all parallel: process 1: |----A----| process 2: |--B--| process 3: |-C-| output: |----A----|CB This happens because C finished before B did, so it will be queued for output before B. To detect when a child has finished executing, we check interleaved with other actions (such as checking the liveliness of children or starting new processes) whether the stderr pipe still exists. Once a child closed its stderr stream, we assume it is terminating very soon, and use `finish_command()` from the single external process execution interface to collect the exit status. By maintaining the strong assumption of stderr being open until the very end of a child process, we can avoid other hassle such as an implementation using `waitpid(-1)`, which is not implemented in Windows.

2015-12-16strbuf: add strbuf_read_once to read without blockingLibravatar Stefan Beller2-0/+19
The new call will read from a file descriptor into a strbuf once. The underlying call xread is just run once. xread only reattempts reading in case of EINTR, which makes it suitable to use for a nonblocking read.

2015-12-16xread: poll on non blocking fdsLibravatar Stefan Beller1-2/+18
The man page of read(2) says: EAGAIN The file descriptor fd refers to a file other than a socket and has been marked nonblocking (O_NONBLOCK), and the read would block. EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK The file descriptor fd refers to a socket and has been marked nonblocking (O_NONBLOCK), and the read would block. POSIX.1-2001 allows either error to be returned for this case, and does not require these constants to have the same value, so a portable application should check for both possibilities. If we get an EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK the fd must have set O_NONBLOCK. As the intent of xread is to read as much as possible either until the fd is EOF or an actual error occurs, we can ease the feeder of the fd by not spinning the whole time, but rather wait for it politely by not busy waiting. We should not care if the call to poll failed, as we're in an infinite loop and can only get out with the correct read().

2015-12-16submodule.c: write "Fetching submodule <foo>" to stderrLibravatar Jonathan Nieder2-26/+27
The "Pushing submodule <foo>" progress output correctly goes to stderr, but "Fetching submodule <foo>" is going to stdout by mistake. Fix it to write to stderr. Noticed while trying to implement a parallel submodule fetch. When this particular output line went to a different file descriptor, it was buffered separately, resulting in wrongly interleaved output if we copied it to the terminal naively.
