2020-05-24stateless-connect: send response end packetLibravatar Denton Liu1-1/+3
Currently, remote-curl acts as a proxy and blindly forwards packets between an HTTP server and fetch-pack. In the case of a stateless RPC connection where the connection is terminated before the transaction is complete, remote-curl will blindly forward the packets before waiting on more input from fetch-pack. Meanwhile, fetch-pack will read the transaction and continue reading, expecting more input to continue the transaction. This results in a deadlock between the two processes. This can be seen in the following command which does not terminate: $ git -c protocol.version=2 clone https://github.com/git/git.git --shallow-since=20151012 Cloning into 'git'... whereas the v1 version does terminate as expected: $ git -c protocol.version=1 clone https://github.com/git/git.git --shallow-since=20151012 Cloning into 'git'... fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly Instead of blindly forwarding packets, make remote-curl insert a response end packet after proxying the responses from the remote server when using stateless_connect(). On the RPC client side, ensure that each response ends as described. A separate control packet is chosen because we need to be able to differentiate between what the remote server sends and remote-curl's control packets. By ensuring in the remote-curl code that a server cannot send response end packets, we prevent a malicious server from being able to perform a denial of service attack in which they spoof a response end packet and cause the described deadlock to happen.

2019-10-23Merge branch 'bc/smart-http-atomic-push'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+5
The atomic push over smart HTTP transport did not work, which has been corrected. * bc/smart-http-atomic-push: remote-curl: pass on atomic capability to remote side
2019-10-17remote-curl: pass on atomic capability to remote sideLibravatar brian m. carlson1-0/+5
When pushing more than one reference with the --atomic option, the server is supposed to perform a single atomic transaction to update the references, leaving them either all to succeed or all to fail. This works fine when pushing locally or over SSH, but when pushing over HTTP, we fail to pass the atomic capability to the remote side. In fact, we have not reported this capability to any remote helpers during the life of the feature. Now normally, things happen to work nevertheless, since we actually check for most types of failures, such as non-fast-forward updates, on the client side, and just abort the entire attempt. However, if the server side reports a problem, such as the inability to lock a ref, the transaction isn't atomic, because we haven't passed the appropriate capability over and the remote side has no way of knowing that we wanted atomic behavior. Fix this by passing the option from the transport code through to remote helpers, and from the HTTP remote helper down to send-pack. With this change, we can detect if the server side rejects the push and report back appropriately. Note the difference in the messages: the remote side reports "atomic transaction failed", while our own checking rejects pushes with the message "atomic push failed". Document the atomic option in the remote helper documentation, so other implementers can implement it if they like.

2018-03-15transport-helper: introduce stateless-connectLibravatar Brandon Williams1-0/+32
Introduce the transport-helper capability 'stateless-connect'. This capability indicates that the transport-helper can be requested to run the 'stateless-connect' command which should attempt to make a stateless connection with a remote end. Once established, the connection can be used by the git client to communicate with the remote end natively in a stateless-rpc manner as supported by protocol v2. This means that the client must send everything the server needs in a single request as the client must not assume any state-storing on the part of the server or transport. If a stateless connection cannot be established then the remote-helper will respond in the same manner as the 'connect' command indicating that the client should fallback to using the dumb remote-helper commands. A future patch will implement the 'stateless-connect' capability in our http remote-helper (remote-curl) so that protocol v2 can be used using the http transport.

2017-12-05introduce fetch-object: fetch one promisor objectLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-0/+7
Introduce fetch-object, providing the ability to fetch one object from a promisor remote. This uses fetch-pack. To do this, the transport mechanism has been updated with 2 flags, "from-promisor" to indicate that the resulting pack comes from a promisor remote (and thus should be annotated as such by index-pack), and "no-dependents" to indicate that only the objects themselves need to be fetched (but fetching additional objects is nevertheless safe). Whenever "no-dependents" is used, fetch-pack will refrain from using any object flags, because it is most likely invoked as part of a dynamic object fetch by another Git command (which may itself use object flags). An alternative to this is to leave fetch-pack alone, and instead update the allocation of flags so that fetch-pack's flags never overlap with any others, but this will end up shrinking the number of flags available to nearly every other Git command (that is, every Git command that accesses objects), so the approach in this commit was used instead. This will be tested in a subsequent commit. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Tan <jonathantanmy@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2017-02-08push options: pass push options to the transport helperLibravatar Stefan Beller1-0/+4
When using non-builtin protocols relying on a transport helper (such as http), push options are not propagated to the helper. The user could ask for push options and a push would seemingly succeed, but the push options would never be transported to the server, misleading the users expectation. Fix this by propagating the push options to the transport helper. This is only addressing the first issue of (1) the helper protocol does not propagate push-option (2) the http helper is not prepared to handle push-option Once we fix (2), the http transport helper can make use of push options as well, but that happens as a follow up. (1) is a bug fix, whereas (2) is a feature, which is why we only do (1) here. Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2016-06-13fetch, upload-pack: --deepen=N extends shallow boundary by N commitsLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+4
In git-fetch, --depth argument is always relative with the latest remote refs. This makes it a bit difficult to cover this use case, where the user wants to make the shallow history, say 3 levels deeper. It would work if remote refs have not moved yet, but nobody can guarantee that, especially when that use case is performed a couple months after the last clone or "git fetch --depth". Also, modifying shallow boundary using --depth does not work well with clones created by --since or --not. This patch fixes that. A new argument --deepen=<N> will add <N> more (*) parent commits to the current history regardless of where remote refs are. Have/Want negotiation is still respected. So if remote refs move, the server will send two chunks: one between "have" and "want" and another to extend shallow history. In theory, the client could send no "want"s in order to get the second chunk only. But the protocol does not allow that. Either you send no want lines, which means ls-remote; or you have to send at least one want line that carries deep-relative to the server.. The main work was done by Dongcan Jiang. I fixed it up here and there. And of course all the bugs belong to me. (*) We could even support --deepen=<N> where <N> is negative. In that case we can cut some history from the shallow clone. This operation (and --depth=<shorter depth>) does not require interaction with remote side (and more complicated to implement as a result).
