2016-10-17Merge branch 'jk/quarantine-received-objects'Libravatar Junio C Hamano8-1/+413
In order for the receiving end of "git push" to inspect the received history and decide to reject the push, the objects sent from the sending end need to be made available to the hook and the mechanism for the connectivity check, and this was done traditionally by storing the objects in the receiving repository and letting "git gc" to expire it. Instead, store the newly received objects in a temporary area, and make them available by reusing the alternate object store mechanism to them only while we decide if we accept the check, and once we decide, either migrate them to the repository or purge them immediately. * jk/quarantine-received-objects: tmp-objdir: do not migrate files starting with '.' tmp-objdir: put quarantine information in the environment receive-pack: quarantine objects until pre-receive accepts tmp-objdir: introduce API for temporary object directories check_connected: accept an env argument

2016-10-10receive-pack: quarantine objects until pre-receive acceptsLibravatar Jeff King2-1/+76
When a client pushes objects to us, index-pack checks the objects themselves and then installs them into place. If we then reject the push due to a pre-receive hook, we cannot just delete the packfile; other processes may be depending on it. We have to do a normal reachability check at this point via `git gc`. But such objects may hang around for weeks due to the gc.pruneExpire grace period. And worse, during that time they may be exploded from the pack into inefficient loose objects. Instead, this patch teaches receive-pack to put the new objects into a "quarantine" temporary directory. We make these objects available to the connectivity check and to the pre-receive hook, and then install them into place only if it is successful (and otherwise remove them as tempfiles).

2016-10-10tmp-objdir: introduce API for temporary object directoriesLibravatar Jeff King3-0/+328
Once objects are added to the object database by a process, they cannot easily be deleted, as we don't know what other processes may have started referencing them. We have to clean them up with git-gc, which will apply the usual reachability and grace-period checks. This patch provides an alternative: it helps callers create a temporary directory inside the object directory, and a temporary environment which can be passed to sub-programs to ask them to write there (the original object directory remains accessible as an alternate of the temporary one).

2016-10-10alternates: use fspathcmp to detect duplicatesLibravatar Jeff King3-1/+20
On a case-insensitive filesystem, we should realize that "a/objects" and "A/objects" are the same path. We already use fspathcmp() to check against the main object directory, but until recently we couldn't use it for comparing against other alternates (because their paths were not NUL-terminated strings). But now we can, so let's do so. Note that we also need to adjust count-objects to load the config, so that it can see the setting of core.ignorecase (this is required by the test, but is also a general bugfix for users of count-objects).

2016-10-10sha1_file: always allow relative paths to alternatesLibravatar Jeff King2-8/+23
We recursively expand alternates repositories, so that if A borrows from B which borrows from C, A can see all objects. For the root object database, we allow relative paths, so A can point to B as "../B/objects". However, we currently do not allow relative paths when recursing, so B must use an absolute path to reach C. That is an ancient protection from c2f493a (Transitively read alternatives, 2006-05-07) that tries to avoid adding the same alternate through two different paths. Since 5bdf0a8 (sha1_file: normalize alt_odb path before comparing and storing, 2011-09-07), we use a normalized absolute path for each alt_odb entry. This means that in most cases the protection is no longer necessary; we will detect the duplicate no matter how we got there (but see below). And it's a good idea to get rid of it, as it creates an unnecessary complication when setting up recursive alternates (B has to know that A is going to borrow from it and make sure to use an absolute path). Note that our normalization doesn't actually look at the filesystem, so it can still be fooled by crossing symbolic links. But that's also true of absolute paths, so it's not a good reason to disallow only relative paths (it's potentially a reason to switch to real_path(), but that's a separate and non-trivial change). We adjust the test script here to demonstrate that this now works, and add new tests to show that the normalization does indeed suppress duplicates.

2016-10-10count-objects: report alternates via verbose modeLibravatar Jeff King3-0/+25
There's no way to get the list of alternates that git computes internally; our tests only infer it based on which objects are available. In addition to testing, knowing this list may be helpful for somebody debugging their alternates setup. Let's add it to the "count-objects -v" output. We could give it a separate flag, but there's not really any need. "count-objects -v" is already a debugging catch-all for the object database, its output is easily extensible to new data items, and printing the alternates is not expensive (we already had to find them to count the objects).

2016-10-10fill_sha1_file: write into a strbufLibravatar Jeff King1-24/+10
It's currently the responsibility of the caller to give fill_sha1_file() enough bytes to write into, leading them to manually compute the required lengths. Instead, let's just write into a strbuf so that it's impossible to get this wrong. The alt_odb caller already has a strbuf, so this makes things strictly simpler. The other caller, sha1_file_name(), uses a static PATH_MAX buffer and dies when it would overflow. We can convert this to a static strbuf, which means our allocation cost is amortized (and as a bonus, we no longer have to worry about PATH_MAX being too short for normal use). This does introduce some small overhead in fill_sha1_file(), as each strbuf_addchar() will check whether it needs to grow. However, between the optimization in fec501d (strbuf_addch: avoid calling strbuf_grow, 2015-04-16) and the fact that this is not generally called in a tight loop (after all, the next step is typically to access the file!) this probably doesn't matter. And even if it did, the right place to micro-optimize is inside fill_sha1_file(), by calling a single strbuf_grow() there.

2016-10-10alternates: store scratch buffer as strbufLibravatar Jeff King3-18/+32
We pre-size the scratch buffer to hold a loose object filename of the form "xx/yyyy...", which leads to allocation code that is hard to verify. We have to use some magic numbers during the initial allocation, and then writers must blindly assume that the buffer is big enough. Using a strbuf makes it more clear that we cannot overflow. Unfortunately, we do still need some magic numbers to grow our strbuf before calling fill_sha1_path(), but the strbuf growth is much closer to the point of use. This makes it easier to see that it's correct, and opens the possibility of pushing it even further down if fill_sha1_path() learns to work on strbufs.

2016-10-10fill_sha1_file: write "boring" charactersLibravatar Jeff King1-7/+5
This function forms a sha1 as "xx/yyyy...", but skips over the slot for the slash rather than writing it, leaving it to the caller to do so. It also does not bother to put in a trailing NUL, even though every caller would want it (we're forming a path which by definition is not a directory, so the only thing to do with it is feed it to a system call). Let's make the lives of our callers easier by just writing out the internal "/" and the NUL. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-10-10alternates: use a separate scratch spaceLibravatar Jeff King6-37/+24
The alternate_object_database struct uses a single buffer both for storing the path to the alternate, and as a scratch buffer for forming object names. This is efficient (since otherwise we'd end up storing the path twice), but it makes life hard for callers who just want to know the path to the alternate. They have to remember to stop reading after "alt->name - alt->base" bytes, and to subtract one for the trailing '/'. It would be much simpler if they could simply access a NUL-terminated path string. We could encapsulate this in a function which puts a NUL in the scratch buffer and returns the string, but that opens up questions about the lifetime of the result. The first time another caller uses the alternate, the scratch buffer may get other data tacked onto it. Let's instead just store the root path separately from the scratch buffer. There aren't enough alternates being stored for the duplicated data to matter for performance, and this keeps things simple and safe for the callers.

2016-10-10link_alt_odb_entry: refactor string handlingLibravatar Jeff King1-38/+45
The string handling in link_alt_odb_entry() is mostly an artifact of the original version, which took the path as a ptr/len combo, and did not have a NUL-terminated string until we created one in the alternate_object_database struct. But since 5bdf0a8 (sha1_file: normalize alt_odb path before comparing and storing, 2011-09-07), the first thing we do is put the path into a strbuf, which gives us some easy opportunities for cleanup. In particular: - we call strlen(pathbuf.buf), which is silly; we can look at pathbuf.len. - even though we have a strbuf, we don't maintain its "len" field when chomping extra slashes from the end, and instead keep a separate "pfxlen" variable. We can fix this and then drop "pfxlen" entirely. - we don't check whether the path is usable until after we allocate the new struct, making extra cleanup work for ourselves. Since we have a NUL-terminated string, we can bump the "is it usable" checks higher in the function. While we're at it, we can move that logic to its own helper, which makes the flow of link_alt_odb_entry() easier to follow.

2016-10-10link_alt_odb_entry: handle normalize_path errorsLibravatar Jeff King3-2/+37
When we add a new alternate to the list, we try to normalize out any redundant "..", etc. However, we do not look at the return value of normalize_path_copy(), and will happily continue with a path that could not be normalized. Worse, the normalizing process is done in-place, so we are left with whatever half-finished working state the normalizing function was in. Fortunately, this cannot cause us to read past the end of our buffer, as that working state will always leave the NUL from the original path in place. And we do tend to notice problems when we check is_directory() on the path. But you can see the nonsense that we feed to is_directory with an entry like: this/../../is/../../way/../../too/../../deep/../../to/../../resolve in your objects/info/alternates, which yields: error: object directory /to/e/deep/too/way//ects/this/../../is/../../way/../../too/../../deep/../../to/../../resolve does not exist; check .git/objects/info/alternates. We can easily fix this just by checking the return value. But that makes it hard to generate a good error message, since we're normalizing in-place and our input value has been overwritten by cruft. Instead, let's provide a strbuf helper that does an in-place normalize, but restores the original contents on error. This uses a second buffer under the hood, which is slightly less efficient, but this is not a performance-critical code path. The strbuf helper can also properly set the "len" parameter of the strbuf before returning. Just doing: normalize_path_copy(buf.buf, buf.buf); will shorten the string, but leave buf.len at the original length. That may be confusing to later code which uses the strbuf.

2016-10-10files_read_raw_ref: avoid infinite loop on broken symlinksLibravatar Jeff King2-1/+11
Our ref resolution first runs lstat() on any path we try to look up, because we want to treat symlinks specially (by resolving them manually and considering them symrefs). But if the results of `readlink` do _not_ look like a ref, we fall through to treating it like a normal file, and just read the contents of the linked path. Since fcb7c76 (resolve_ref_unsafe(): close race condition reading loose refs, 2013-06-19), that "normal file" code path will stat() the file and if we see ENOENT, will jump back to the lstat(), thinking we've seen inconsistent results between the two calls. But for a symbolic ref, this isn't a race: the lstat() found the symlink, and the stat() is looking at the path it points to. We end up in an infinite loop calling lstat() and stat(). We can fix this by avoiding the retry-on-inconsistent jump when we know that we found a symlink. While we're at it, let's add a comment explaining why the symlink case gets to this code in the first place; without that, it is not obvious that the correct solution isn't to avoid the stat() code path entirely.
