2018-05-21unpack-objects: call fsck_finish() after fscking objectsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+4
As with the previous commit, we must call fsck's "finish" function in order to catch any queued objects for .gitmodules checks. This second pass will be able to access any incoming objects, because we will have exploded them to loose objects by now. This isn't quite ideal, because it means that bad objects may have been written to the object database (and a subsequent operation could then reference them, even if the other side doesn't send the objects again). However, this is sufficient when used with receive.fsckObjects, since those loose objects will all be placed in a temporary quarantine area that will get wiped if we find any problems.

2018-05-21index-pack: make fsck error message more specificLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
If fsck reports an error, we say only "Error in object". This isn't quite as bad as it might seem, since the fsck code would have dumped some errors to stderr already. But it might help to give a little more context. The earlier output would not have even mentioned "fsck", and that may be a clue that the "fsck.*" or "*.fsckObjects" config may be relevant.

2018-04-26cache.h: add repository argument to oid_object_infoLibravatar Stefan Beller1-1/+1
Add a repository argument to allow the callers of oid_object_info to be more specific about which repository to handle. This is a small mechanical change; it doesn't change the implementation to handle repositories other than the_repository yet. As with the previous commits, use a macro to catch callers passing a repository other than the_repository at compile time.

2017-10-10cleanup: fix possible overflow errors in binary searchLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-1/+1
A common mistake when writing binary search is to allow possible integer overflow by using the simple average: mid = (min + max) / 2; Instead, use the overflow-safe version: mid = min + (max - min) / 2; This translation is safe since the operation occurs inside a loop conditioned on "min < max". The included changes were found using the following git grep: git grep '/ *2;' '*.c' Making this cleanup will prevent future review friction when a new binary search is contructed based on existing code.

2015-10-16usage: do not insist that standard input must come from a fileLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
The synopsys text and the usage string of subcommands that read list of things from the standard input are often shown like this: git gostak [--distim] < <list-of-doshes> This is problematic in a number of ways: * The way to use these commands is more often to feed them the output from another command, not feed them from a file. * Manual pages outside Git, commands that operate on the data read from the standard input, e.g "sort", "grep", "sed", etc., are not described with such a "< redirection-from-file" in their synopsys text. Our doing so introduces inconsistency. * We do not insist on where the output should go, by saying git gostak [--distim] < <list-of-doshes> > <output> * As it is our convention to enclose placeholders inside <braket>, the redirection operator followed by a placeholder filename becomes very hard to read, both in the documentation and in the help text. Let's clean them all up, after making sure that the documentation clearly describes the modes that take information from the standard input and what kind of things are expected on the input.

2014-09-10fsck_object(): allow passing object data separately from the object itselfLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-4/+10
When fsck'ing an incoming pack, we need to fsck objects that cannot be read via read_sha1_file() because they are not local yet (and might even be rejected if transfer.fsckobjects is set to 'true'). For commits, there is a hack in place: we basically cache commit objects' buffers anyway, but the same is not true, say, for tag objects. By refactoring fsck_object() to take the object buffer and size as optional arguments -- optional, because we still fall back to the previous method to look at the cached commit objects if the caller passes NULL -- we prepare the machinery for the upcoming handling of tag objects. The assumption that such buffers are inherently NUL terminated is now wrong, of course, hence we pass the size of the buffer so that we can add a sanity check later, to prevent running past the end of the buffer.

2011-06-10zlib: zlib can only process 4GB at a timeLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
The size of objects we read from the repository and data we try to put into the repository are represented in "unsigned long", so that on larger architectures we can handle objects that weigh more than 4GB. But the interface defined in zlib.h to communicate with inflate/deflate limits avail_in (how many bytes of input are we calling zlib with) and avail_out (how many bytes of output from zlib are we ready to accept) fields effectively to 4GB by defining their type to be uInt. In many places in our code, we allocate a large buffer (e.g. mmap'ing a large loose object file) and tell zlib its size by assigning the size to avail_in field of the stream, but that will truncate the high octets of the real size. The worst part of this story is that we often pass around z_stream (the state object used by zlib) to keep track of the number of used bytes in input/output buffer by inspecting these two fields, which practically limits our callchain to the same 4GB limit. Wrap z_stream in another structure git_zstream that can express avail_in and avail_out in unsigned long. For now, just die() when the caller gives a size that cannot be given to a single zlib call. In later patches in the series, we would make git_inflate() and git_deflate() internally loop to give callers an illusion that our "improved" version of zlib interface can operate on a buffer larger than 4GB in one go.

NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off around 100 choices or something. So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion. But you can simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
