In d8193743e08 (usage.c: add BUG() function, 2017-05-12), a new macro
was introduced to use for reporting bugs instead of die(). It was then
subsequently used to convert one single caller in 588a538ae55
(setup_git_env: convert die("BUG") to BUG(), 2017-05-12).
The cover letter of the patch series containing this patch
(cf 20170513032414.mfrwabt4hovujde2@sigill.intra.peff.net) is not
terribly clear why only one call site was converted, or what the plan
is for other, similar calls to die() to report bugs.
Let's just convert all remaining ones in one fell swoop.
This trick was performed by this invocation:
sed -i 's/die("BUG: /BUG("/g' $(git grep -l 'die("BUG' \*.c)

The previous commit taught the tempfile code to give up
ownership over tempfiles that have been renamed or deleted.
That makes it possible to use a stack variable like this:
struct tempfile t;
create_tempfile(&t, ...);
...
if (!err)
rename_tempfile(&t, ...);
else
delete_tempfile(&t);
But doing it this way has a high potential for creating
memory errors. The tempfile we pass to create_tempfile()
ends up on a global linked list, and it's not safe for it to
go out of scope until we've called one of those two
deactivation functions.
Imagine that we add an early return from the function that
forgets to call delete_tempfile(). With a static or heap
tempfile variable, the worst case is that the tempfile hangs
around until the program exits (and some functions like
setup_shallow_temporary rely on this intentionally, creating
a tempfile and then leaving it for later cleanup).
But with a stack variable as above, this is a serious memory
error: the variable goes out of scope and may be filled with
garbage by the time the tempfile code looks at it. Let's
see if we can make it harder to get this wrong.
Since many callers need to allocate arbitrary numbers of
tempfiles, we can't rely on static storage as a general
solution. So we need to turn to the heap. We could just ask
all callers to pass us a heap variable, but that puts the
burden on them to call free() at the right time.
Instead, let's have the tempfile code handle the heap
allocation _and_ the deallocation (when the tempfile is
deactivated and removed from the list).
This changes the return value of all of the creation
functions. For the cleanup functions (delete and rename),
we'll add one extra bit of safety: instead of taking a
tempfile pointer, we'll take a pointer-to-pointer and set it
to NULL after freeing the object. This makes it safe to
double-call functions like delete_tempfile(), as the second
call treats the NULL input as a noop. Several callsites
follow this pattern.
The resulting patch does have a fair bit of noise, as each
caller needs to be converted to handle:
1. Storing a pointer instead of the struct itself.
2. Passing the pointer instead of taking the struct
address.
3. Handling a "struct tempfile *" return instead of a file
descriptor.
We could play games to make this less noisy. For example, by
defining the tempfile like this:
struct tempfile {
struct heap_allocated_part_of_tempfile {
int fd;
...etc
} *actual_data;
}
Callers would continue to have a "struct tempfile", and it
would be "active" only when the inner pointer was non-NULL.
But that just makes things more awkward in the long run.
There aren't that many callers, so we can simply bite
the bullet and adjust all of them. And the compiler makes it
easy for us to find them all.

The "libify sequencer" topic stopped passing the die_on_error option
to hold_locked_index(), and this lost an error message from "git
merge --ff-only $commit" when there are competing updates in
progress.
The command still exits with a non-zero status, but that is not of
much help for an interactive user. The last thing the command says
is "Updating $from..$to". We used to follow it with a big error
message that makes it clear that "merge --ff-only" did not succeed.
What is sad is that we should have noticed this regression while
reviewing the change. It was clear that the update to the
checkout_fast_forward() function made a failing hold_locked_index()
silent, but the only caller of the checkout_fast_forward() function
had this comment:
if (checkout_fast_forward(from, to, 1))
- exit(128); /* the callee should have complained already */
+ return -1; /* the callee should have complained already */
which clearly contradicted the assumption X-<.
Add a new option LOCK_REPORT_ON_ERROR that can be passed instead of
LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR to the hold_lock*() family of functions and teach
checkout_fast_forward() to use it to fix this regression.
After going thourgh all calls to hold_lock*() family of functions
that used to pass LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR but were modified to pass 0 in
the "libify sequencer" topic "git show --first-parent 2a4062a4a8",
it appears that this is the only one that has become silent. Many
others used to give detailed report that talked about "there may be
competing Git process running" but with the series merged they now
only give a single liner "Unable to lock ...", some of which may
have to be tweaked further, but at least they say something, unlike
the one this patch fixes.

A common mistake leading a user to see this message is to launch "git
commit", let the editor open (and forget about it), and try again to
commit.
The previous message was going too quickly to "a git process crashed"
and to the advice "remove the file manually".
This patch modifies the message in two ways: first, it considers that
"another process is running" is the norm, not the exception, and it
explicitly hints the user to look at text editors.
The message is 2 lines longer, but this is not a problem since
experienced users do not see the message often.

lockfile: add accessors get_lock_file_fd() and get_lock_file_fp()
create_bundle(): duplicate file descriptor to avoid closing it twice
lockfile: move documentation to lockfile.h and lockfile.c
|
|
A lot of work went into defining the state diagram for lockfiles and
ensuring correct, race-resistant cleanup in all circumstances.
Most of that infrastructure can be applied directly to *any* temporary
file. So extract a new "tempfile" module from the "lockfile" module.
Reimplement lockfile on top of tempfile.
Subsequent commits will add more users of the new module.

Filter scripts were run with SIGPIPE disabled on the Git side,
expecting that they may not read what Git feeds them to filter.
We however treated a filter that does not read its input fully
before exiting as an error.
This changes semantics, but arguably in a good way. If a filter
can produce its output without consuming its input using whatever
magic, we now let it do so, instead of diagnosing it as a
programming error.
* jc/ignore-epipe-in-filter:
filter_buffer_or_fd(): ignore EPIPE
copy.c: make copy_fd() report its status silently
|
|
When copy_fd() function encounters errors, it emits error messages
itself, which makes it impossible for callers to take responsibility
for reporting errors, especially when they want to ignore certain
errors.
Move the error reporting to its callers in preparation.
- copy_file() and copy_file_with_time() by indirection get their
own calls to error().
- hold_lock_file_for_append(), when told to die on error, used to
exit(128) relying on the error message from copy_fd(), but now it
does its own die() instead. Note that the callers that do not
pass LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR need to be adjusted for this change, but
fortunately there is none ;-)
- filter_buffer_or_fd() has its own error() already, in addition to
the message from copy_fd(), so this will change the output but
arguably in a better way.

Currently, there is only one attempt to lock a file. If it fails, the
whole operation fails.
But it might sometimes be advantageous to try acquiring a file lock a
few times before giving up. So add a new function,
hold_lock_file_for_update_timeout(), that allows a timeout to be
specified. Make hold_lock_file_for_update() a thin wrapper around the
new function.
If timeout_ms is positive, then retry for at least that many
milliseconds to acquire the lock. On each failed attempt, use select()
to wait for a backoff time that increases quadratically (capped at 1
second) and has a random component to prevent two processes from
getting synchronized. If timeout_ms is negative, retry indefinitely.
In a moment we will switch to using the new function when locking
packed-refs.

Locked paths can be saved in a linked list so that if something wrong
happens, *.lock are removed. For relative paths, this works fine if we
keep cwd the same, which is true 99% of time except:
- update-index and read-tree hold the lock on $GIT_DIR/index really
early, then later on may call setup_work_tree() to move cwd.
- Suppose a lock is being held (e.g. by "git add") then somewhere
down the line, somebody calls real_path (e.g. "link_alt_odb_entry"),
which temporarily moves cwd away and back.
During that time when cwd is moved (either permanently or temporarily)
and we decide to die(), attempts to remove relative *.lock will fail,
and the next operation will complain that some files are still locked.
Avoid this case by turning relative paths to absolute before storing
the path in "filename" field.

For now, we still make sure to allocate at least PATH_MAX characters
for the strbuf because resolve_symlink() doesn't know how to expand

Another alternative would be to just use a strbuf as scratch space in
lock_file() but then store a pointer to the naked string in struct
lock_file. But lock_file objects are often reused. By reusing the
same strbuf, we can avoid having to reallocate the string most times
when a lock_file object is reused.

The function remove_lock_file_on_signal() is used as a signal handler.
It is not realistic to make the signal handler conform strictly to the
C standard, which is very restrictive about what a signal handler is
allowed to do. But let's increase the likelihood that it will work:
The lock_file_list global variable and several fields from struct
lock_file are used by the signal handler. Declare those values
"volatile" to (1) force the main process to write the values to RAM
promptly, and (2) prevent updates to these fields from being reordered
in a way that leaves an opportunity for a jump to the signal handler
while the object is in an inconsistent state.
We don't mark the filename field volatile because that would prevent
the use of strcpy(), and it is anyway unlikely that a compiler
re-orders a strcpy() call across other expressions. So in practice it
should be possible to get away without "volatile" in the "filename"
case.

Because remove_lock_file() can be called any time by the signal
handler, it is important that any lock_file objects that are in the
lock_file_list are always in a valid state. And since lock_file
objects are often reused (but are never removed from lock_file_list),
that means we have to be careful whenever mutating a lock_file object
to always keep it in a well-defined state.
This was formerly not the case, because part of the state was encoded
by setting lk->filename to the empty string vs. a valid filename. It
is wrong to assume that this string can be updated atomically; for
example, even
strcpy(lk->filename, value)
is unsafe. But the old code was even more reckless; for example,
strcpy(lk->filename, path);
if (!(flags & LOCK_NODEREF))
resolve_symlink(lk->filename, max_path_len);
strcat(lk->filename, ".lock");
During the call to resolve_symlink(), lk->filename contained the name
of the file that was being locked, not the name of the lockfile. If a
signal were raised during that interval, then the signal handler would
have deleted the valuable file!
We could probably continue to use the filename field to encode the
state by being careful to write characters 1..N-1 of the filename
first, and then overwrite the NUL at filename[0] with the first
character of the filename, but that would be awkward and error-prone.
So, instead of using the filename field to determine whether the
lock_file object is active, add a new field "lock_file::active" for
this purpose. Be careful to set this field only when filename really
contains the name of a file that should be deleted on cleanup.

If closing an open lockfile fails, then we cannot be sure of the
contents of the lockfile, so there is nothing sensible to do but
delete it. This change also insures that the lock_file object is left
in a defined state in this error path (namely, unlocked).
The only caller that is ultimately affected by this change is
try_merge_strategy() -> write_locked_index(), which can call
close_lock_file() via various execution paths. This caller uses a
static lock_file object which previously could have been reused after
a failed close_lock_file() even though it was still in locked state.
This change causes the lock_file object to be unlocked on failure,
thus fixing this error-handling path.

It was previously a bug to call commit_lock_file() with a lock_file
object that was not active (an illegal access would happen within the
function). It was presumably never done, but this would be an easy
programming error to overlook. So before continuing, do a consistency
check that the lock_file object really is locked.

The purpose of this change is to make the state diagram for
lock_file objects simpler and deterministic.
If locking fails, lock_file() sometimes leaves the lock_file object
partly initialized, but sometimes not. It sometimes registers the
object in lock_file_list, but sometimes not. This makes the state
diagram for lock_file objects effectively indeterministic and hard
to reason about. A future patch will also change the filename field
into a strbuf, which needs more involved initialization, so it will
become even more important that the state of a lock_file object is
well-defined after a failed attempt to lock.
The ambiguity doesn't currently have any ill effects, because
lock_file objects cannot be removed from the lock_file_list anyway.
But to make it easier to document and reason about the code, make
this behavior consistent: *always* initialize the lock_file object
and *always* register it in lock_file_list the first time it is
used, regardless of whether an error occurs.
While we're at it, make sure that all of the lock_file fields are
initialized to values appropriate for an unlocked object; the caller
is only responsible for making sure that on_list is set to zero before
the first time it is used.

If there is an error copying the old contents to the lockfile, roll
back the lockfile before exiting so that the lockfile is not held
until process cleanup.

If the call to adjust_shared_perm() fails, lock_file returns -1, which
to the caller looks like any other failure to lock the file. So in
this case, roll back the lockfile before returning so that the lock
file is deleted immediately and the lockfile object is left in a
predictable state (namely, unlocked). Previously, the lockfile was
retained until process cleanup in this situation.
