2016-12-16index-pack: skip collision check when not in repositoryLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+6
You can run "git index-pack path/to/foo.pack" outside of a repository to generate an index file, or just to verify the contents. There's no point in doing a collision check, since we obviously do not have any objects to collide with. The current code will blindly look in .git/objects based on the result of setup_git_env(). That effectively gives us the right answer (since we won't find any objects), but it's a waste of time, and it conflicts with our desire to eventually get rid of the "fallback to .git" behavior of setup_git_env().

2016-12-16index-pack: complain when --stdin is used outside of a repoLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+2
The index-pack builtin is marked as RUN_SETUP_GENTLY, because it's perfectly fine to index a pack in the filesystem outside of any repository. However, --stdin mode will write the result to the object database, which does not make sense outside of a repository. Doing so creates a bogus ".git" directory with nothing in it except the newly-created pack and its index. Instead, let's flag this as an error and abort.

2016-07-20receive-pack: send keepalives during quiet periodsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+5
After a client has sent us the complete pack, we may spend some time processing the data and running hooks. If the client asked us to be quiet, receive-pack won't send any progress data during the index-pack or connectivity-check steps. And hooks may or may not produce their own progress output. In these cases, the network connection is totally silent from both ends. Git itself doesn't care about this (it will wait forever), but other parts of the system (e.g., firewalls, load-balancers, etc) might hang up the connection. So we'd like to send some sort of keepalive to let the network and the client side know that we're still alive and processing. We can use the same trick we did in 05e9515 (upload-pack: send keepalive packets during pack computation, 2013-09-08). Namely, we will send an empty sideband data packet every `N` seconds that we do not relay any stderr data over the sideband channel. As with 05e9515, this means that we won't bother sending keepalives when there's actual progress data, but will kick in when it has been disabled (or if there is a lull in the progress data). The concept is simple, but the details are subtle enough that they need discussing here. Before the client sends us the pack, we don't want to do any keepalives. We'll have sent our ref advertisement, and we're waiting for them to send us the pack (and tell us that they support sidebands at all). While we're receiving the pack from the client (or waiting for it to start), there's no need for keepalives; it's up to them to keep the connection active by sending data. Moreover, it would be wrong for us to do so. When we are the server in the smart-http protocol, we must treat our connection as half-duplex. So any keepalives we send while receiving the pack would potentially be buffered by the webserver. Not only does this make them useless (since they would not be delivered in a timely manner), but it could actually cause a deadlock if we fill up the buffer with keepalives. (It wouldn't be wrong to send keepalives in this phase for a full-duplex connection like ssh; it's simply pointless, as it is the client's responsibility to speak). As soon as we've gotten all of the pack data, then the client is waiting for us to speak, and we should start keepalives immediately. From here until the end of the connection, we send one any time we are not otherwise sending data. But there's a catch. Receive-pack doesn't know the moment we've gotten all the data. It passes the descriptor to index-pack, who reads all of the data, and then starts resolving the deltas. We have to communicate that back. To make this work, we instruct the sideband muxer to enable keepalives in three phases: 1. In the beginning, not at all. 2. While reading from index-pack, wait for a signal indicating end-of-input, and then start them. 3. Afterwards, always. The signal from index-pack in phase 2 has to come over the stderr channel which the muxer is reading. We can't use an extra pipe because the portable run-command interface only gives us stderr and stdout. Stdout is already used to pass the .keep filename back to receive-pack. We could also send a signal there, but then we would find out about it in the main thread. And the keepalive needs to be done by the async muxer thread (since it's the one writing sideband data back to the client). And we can't reliably signal the async thread from the main thread, because the async code sometimes uses threads and sometimes uses forked processes. Therefore the signal must come over the stderr channel, where it may be interspersed with other random human-readable messages from index-pack. This patch makes the signal a single NUL byte. This is easy to parse, should not appear in any normal stderr output, and we don't have to worry about any timing issues (like seeing half the signal bytes in one read(), and half in a subsequent one). This is a bit ugly, but it's simple to code and should work reliably. Another option would be to stop using an async thread for muxing entirely, and just poll() both stderr and stdout of index-pack from the main thread. This would work for index-pack (because we aren't doing anything useful in the main thread while it runs anyway). But it would make the connectivity check and the hook muxers much more complicated, as they need to simultaneously feed the sub-programs while reading their stderr. The index-pack phase is the only one that needs this signaling, so it could simply behave differently than the other two. That would mean having two separate implementations of copy_to_sideband (and the keepalive code), though. And it still doesn't get rid of the signaling; it just means we can write a nicer message like "END_OF_INPUT" or something on stdout, since we don't have to worry about separating it from the stderr cruft. One final note: this signaling trick is only done with index-pack, not with unpack-objects. There's no point in doing it for the latter, because by definition it only kicks in for a small number of objects, where keepalives are not as useful (and this conveniently lets us avoid duplicating the implementation).

2016-07-20index-pack: add flag for showing delta-resolution progressLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+4
The index-pack command has two progress meters: one for "receiving objects", and one for "resolving deltas". You get neither by default, or both with "-v". But for a push through receive-pack, we would want only the "resolving deltas" phase, _not_ the "receiving objects" progress. There are two reasons for this. One is simply that existing clients are already printing "writing objects" progress at the same time. Arguably "receiving" from the far end is more useful, because it tells you what has actually gotten there, as opposed to what might be stuck in a buffer somewhere between the client and server. But that would require a protocol extension to tell clients not to print their progress. Possible, but complexity for little gain. The second reason is much more important. In a full-duplex connection like git-over-ssh, we can print progress while the pack is incoming, and it will immediately get to the client. But for a half-duplex connection like git-over-http, we should not say anything until we have received the full request. Anything we write is subject to being stuck in a buffer by the webserver. Worse, we can end up in a deadlock if that buffer fills up. So our best bet is to avoid writing anything that isn't a small fixed size until we've received the full pack.

When 592ce208 (index-pack: use strip_suffix to avoid magic numbers, 2014-06-30) refactored the code to derive names of .idx and .keep files from the name of .pack file, a copy-and-paste typo crept in, mistakingly attempting to create and store the keep message file in the .idx file we just created, instead of .keep file. As we create the .keep file with O_CREAT|O_EXCL, and we do so after we write the .idx file, we luckily do not clobber the .idx file, but because we deliberately ignored EEXIST when creating .keep file (which is justifiable because only the existence of .keep file matters), nobody noticed this mistake so far.

2016-02-25nth_packed_object_offset: bounds-check extended offsetLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
If a pack .idx file has a corrupted offset for an object, we may try to access an offset in the .idx or .pack file that is larger than the file's size. For the .pack case, we have use_pack() to protect us, which realizes the access is out of bounds. But if the corrupted value asks us to look in the .idx file's secondary 64-bit offset table, we blindly add it to the mmap'd index data and access arbitrary memory. We can fix this with a simple bounds-check compared to the size we found when we opened the .idx file. Note that there's similar code in index-pack that is triggered only during "index-pack --verify". To support both, we pull the bounds-check into a separate function, which dies when it sees a corrupted file. It would be nice if we could return an error, so that the pack code could try to find a good copy of the object elsewhere. Currently nth_packed_object_offset doesn't have any way to return an error, but it could probably use "0" as a sentinel value (since no object can start there). This is the minimal fix, and we can improve the resilience later on top. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Note that we slightly modify the interface to write_sha1_file_prepare, which nows uses "hdrlen" as an "in" parameter as well as an "out" (on the way in it stores the allocated size of the header, and on the way out it returns the ultimate size of the header).

When c6458e60 (index-pack: kill union delta_base to save memory, 2015-04-18) attempted to reduce the memory footprint of index-pack, one of the key thing it did was to keep track of ref-deltas and ofs-deltas separately. In fix_unresolved_deltas(), however it forgot that it now wants to look only at ref deltas in one place. The code allocated an array for nr_unresolved, which is sum of number of ref- and ofs-deltas minus nr_resolved, which may be larger or smaller than the number ref-deltas. Depending on nr_resolved, this was either under or over allocating. Also, the old code before this change had to use 'i' and 'n' because some of the things we see in the (old) deltas[] array we scanned with 'i' would not make it into the sorted_by_pos[] array in the old world order, but now because you have only ref delta in a separate ref_deltas[] array, they increment lock&step. We no longer need separate variables. And most importantly, we shouldn't pass the nr_unresolved parameter, as this number does not play a role in the working of this helper function.

Since 45e8a74 (has_sha1_file: re-check pack directory before giving up, 2013-08-30), we spend extra effort for has_sha1_file to give the right answer when somebody else is repacking. Usually this effort does not matter, because after finding that the object does not exist, the next step is usually to die(). However, some code paths make a large number of has_sha1_file checks which are _not_ expected to return 1. The collision test in index-pack.c is such a case. On a local system, this can cause a performance slowdown of around 5%. But on a system with high-latency system calls (like NFS), it can be much worse. This patch introduces a "quick" flag to has_sha1_file which callers can use when they would prefer high performance at the cost of false negatives during repacks. There may be other code paths that can use this, but the index-pack one is the most obviously critical, so we'll start with switching that one.

Because ofs-delta encoding is more efficient space-wise and more performant at runtime than ref-delta encoding, Git packers try to use ofs-delta whenever possible, and it is expected that objects encoded as ref-delta are minority. In the best clone case where no ref-delta object is present, we waste (20-8) * nr_objects bytes because of this union. That's about 38MB out of 100MB for deltas[] with 3.4M objects, or 38%. deltas[] would be around 62MB without the waste. This patch attempts to eliminate that. deltas[] array is split into two: one for ofs-delta and one for ref-delta. Many functions are also duplicated because of this split. With this patch, ofs_deltas[] array takes 51MB. ref_deltas[] should remain unallocated in clone case (0 bytes). This array grows as we see ref-delta. We save about half in this case, or 25% of total bookkeeping. The saving is more than the calculation above because some padding in the old delta_entry struct is removed. ofs_delta_entry is 16 bytes, including the 4 bytes padding. That's 13MB for padding, but packing the struct could break platforms that do not support unaligned access. If someone on 32-bit is really low on memory and only deals with packs smaller than 2G, using 32-bit off_t would eliminate the padding and save 27MB on top. A note about ofs_deltas allocation. We could use ref_deltas memory allocation strategy for ofs_deltas. But that probably just adds more overhead on top. ofs-deltas are generally the majority (1/2 to 2/3) in any pack. Incremental realloc may lead to too many memcpy. And if we preallocate, say 1/2 or 2/3 of nr_objects initially, the growth rate of ALLOC_GROW() could make this array larger than nr_objects, wasting more memory.

2015-02-27index-pack: reduce object_entry size to save memoryLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-11/+19
For each object in the input pack, we need one struct object_entry. On x86-64, this struct is 64 bytes long. Although: - The 8 bytes for delta_depth and base_object_no are only useful when show_stat is set. And it's never set unless someone is debugging. - The three fields hdr_size, type and real_type take 4 bytes each even though they never use more than 4 bits. By moving delta_depth and base_object_no out of struct object_entry and make the other 3 fields one byte long instead of 4, we shrink 25% of this struct. On a 3.4M object repo (*) that's about 53MB. The saving is less impressive compared to index-pack memory use for basic bookkeeping (**), about 16%. (*) linux-2.6.git already has 4M objects as of v3.19-rc7 so this is not an unrealistic number of objects that we have to deal with. (**) 3.4M * (sizeof(object_entry) + sizeof(delta_entry)) = 311MB Brought-up-by: Matthew Sporleder <msporleder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-12-09index-pack: terminate object buffers with NULLibravatar Duy Nguyen1-2/+2
We have some tricky checks in fsck that rely on a side effect of require_end_of_header(), and would otherwise easily run outside non-NUL-terminated buffers. This is a bit brittle, so let's make sure that only NUL-terminated buffers are passed around to begin with. Jeff "Peff" King contributed the detailed analysis which call paths are involved and pointed out that we also have to patch the get_data() function in unpack-objects.c, which is what Johannes "Dscho" Schindelin implemented.
