2015-05-25http-backend: spool ref negotiation requests to bufferLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+9
When http-backend spawns "upload-pack" to do ref negotiation, it streams the http request body to upload-pack, who then streams the http response back to the client as it reads. In theory, git can go full-duplex; the client can consume our response while it is still sending the request. In practice, however, HTTP is a half-duplex protocol. Even if our client is ready to read and write simultaneously, we may have other HTTP infrastructure in the way, including the webserver that spawns our CGI, or any intermediate proxies. In at least one documented case[1], this leads to deadlock when trying a fetch over http. What happens is basically: 1. Apache proxies the request to the CGI, http-backend. 2. http-backend gzip-inflates the data and sends the result to upload-pack. 3. upload-pack acts on the data and generates output over the pipe back to Apache. Apache isn't reading because it's busy writing (step 1). This works fine most of the time, because the upload-pack output ends up in a system pipe buffer, and Apache reads it as soon as it finishes writing. But if both the request and the response exceed the system pipe buffer size, then we deadlock (Apache blocks writing to http-backend, http-backend blocks writing to upload-pack, and upload-pack blocks writing to Apache). We need to break the deadlock by spooling either the input or the output. In this case, it's ideal to spool the input, because Apache does not start reading either stdout _or_ stderr until we have consumed all of the input. So until we do so, we cannot even get an error message out to the client. The solution is fairly straight-forward: we read the request body into an in-memory buffer in http-backend, freeing up Apache, and then feed the data ourselves to upload-pack. But there are a few important things to note: 1. We limit the in-memory buffer to prevent an obvious denial-of-service attack. This is a new hard limit on requests, but it's unlikely to come into play. The default value is 10MB, which covers even the ridiculous 100,000-ref negotation in the included test (that actually caps out just over 5MB). But it's configurable on the off chance that you don't mind spending some extra memory to make even ridiculous requests work. 2. We must take care only to buffer when we have to. For pushes, the incoming packfile may be of arbitrary size, and we should connect the input directly to receive-pack. There's no deadlock problem here, though, because we do not produce any output until the whole packfile has been read. For upload-pack's initial ref advertisement, we similarly do not need to buffer. Even though we may generate a lot of output, there is no request body at all (i.e., it is a GET, not a POST).

2015-05-25each_ref_fn: change to take an object_id parameterLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-1/+1
Change typedef each_ref_fn to take a "const struct object_id *oid" parameter instead of "const unsigned char *sha1". To aid this transition, implement an adapter that can be used to wrap old-style functions matching the old typedef, which is now called "each_ref_sha1_fn"), and make such functions callable via the new interface. This requires the old function and its cb_data to be wrapped in a "struct each_ref_fn_sha1_adapter", and that object to be used as the cb_data for an adapter function, each_ref_fn_adapter(). This is an enormous diff, but most of it consists of simple, mechanical changes to the sites that call any of the "for_each_ref" family of functions. Subsequent to this change, the call sites can be rewritten one by one to use the new interface.

2015-05-22upload-pack: optionally allow fetching reachable sha1Libravatar Fredrik Medley3-1/+15
With uploadpack.allowReachableSHA1InWant configuration option set on the server side, "git fetch" can make a request with a "want" line that names an object that has not been advertised (likely to have been obtained out of band or from a submodule pointer). Only objects reachable from the branch tips, i.e. the union of advertised branches and branches hidden by transfer.hideRefs, will be processed. Note that there is an associated cost of having to walk back the history to check the reachability. This feature can be used when obtaining the content of a certain commit, for which the sha1 is known, without the need of cloning the whole repository, especially if a shallow fetch is used. Useful cases are e.g. repositories containing large files in the history, fetching only the needed data for a submodule checkout, when sharing a sha1 without telling which exact branch it belongs to and in Gerrit, if you think in terms of commits instead of change numbers. (The Gerrit case has already been solved through allowTipSHA1InWant as every Gerrit change has a ref.)

2015-05-22sha1_name: implement @{push} shorthandLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+25
In a triangular workflow, each branch may have two distinct points of interest: the @{upstream} that you normally pull from, and the destination that you normally push to. There isn't a shorthand for the latter, but it's useful to have. For instance, you may want to know which commits you haven't pushed yet: git log @{push}.. Or as a more complicated example, imagine that you normally pull changes from origin/master (which you set as your @{upstream}), and push changes to your own personal fork (e.g., as myfork/topic). You may push to your fork from multiple machines, requiring you to integrate the changes from the push destination, rather than upstream. With this patch, you can just do: git rebase @{push} rather than typing out the full name. The heavy lifting is all done by branch_get_push; here we just wire it up to the "@{push}" syntax.

2015-05-21remote.c: drop "remote" pointer from "struct branch"Libravatar Jeff King1-4/+0
When we create each branch struct, we fill in the "remote_name" field from the config, and then fill in the actual "remote" field (with a "struct remote") based on that name. However, it turns out that nobody really cares about the latter field. The only two sites that access it at all are: 1. git-merge, which uses it to notice when the branch does not have a remote defined. But we can easily replace this with looking at remote_name instead. 2. remote.c itself, when setting up the @{upstream} merge config. But we don't need to save the "remote" in the "struct branch" for that; we can just look it up for the duration of the operation. So there is no need to have both fields; they are redundant with each other (the struct remote contains the name, or you can look up the struct from the name). It would be nice to simplify this, especially as we are going to add matching pushremote config in a future patch (and it would be nice to keep them consistent). So which one do we keep and which one do we get rid of? If we had a lot of callers accessing the struct, it would be more efficient to keep it (since you have to do a lookup to go from the name to the struct, but not vice versa). But we don't have a lot of callers; we have exactly one, so efficiency doesn't matter. We can decide this based on simplicity and readability. And the meaning of the struct value is somewhat unclear. Is it always the remote matching remote_name? If remote_name is NULL (i.e., no per-branch config), does the struct fall back to the "origin" remote, or is it also NULL? These questions will get even more tricky with pushremotes, whose fallback behavior is more complicated. So let's just store the name, which pretty clearly represents the branch.*.remote config. Any lookup or fallback behavior can then be implemented in helper functions. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
