2015-05-22Merge branch 'jc/ignore-epipe-in-filter'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
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
2015-05-19copy.c: make copy_fd() report its status silentlyLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
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.

2015-05-14lockfile: allow file locking to be retried with a timeoutLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-2/+77
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.

2014-11-03lockfile.c: store absolute pathLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-3/+11
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.

2014-10-01lockfile: change lock_file::filename into a strbufLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-29/+24
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 the space for its return value. (That will be fixed in a moment.) 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.

2014-10-01struct lock_file: declare some fields volatileLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-1/+1
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.

2014-10-01lockfile: avoid transitory invalid statesLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-11/+26
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.

2014-10-01close_lock_file(): if close fails, roll backLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-10/+18
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.

2014-10-01lock_file(): always initialize and register lock_file objectLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-9/+16
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.

This function is now only used by write_locked_index(). Move it to read-cache.c (because read-cache.c will need to be aware of alternate_index_output later) and unexport it. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-07-07lockfile: fix buffer overflow in path handlingLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-4/+6
The path of the file to be locked is held in lock_file::filename, which is a fixed-length buffer of length PATH_MAX. This buffer is also (temporarily) used to hold the path of the lock file, which is the path of the file being locked plus ".lock". Because of this, the path of the file being locked must be less than (PATH_MAX - 5) characters long (5 chars are needed for ".lock" and one character for the NUL terminator). On entry into lock_file(), the path length was only verified to be less than PATH_MAX characters, not less than (PATH_MAX - 5) characters. When and if resolve_symlink() is called, then that function is correctly told to treat the buffer as (PATH_MAX - 5) characters long. This part is correct. However: * If LOCK_NODEREF was specified, then resolve_symlink() is never called. * If resolve_symlink() is called but the path is not a symlink, then the length check is never applied. So it is possible for a path with length (PATH_MAX - 5 <= len < PATH_MAX) to make it through the checks. When ".lock" is strcat()ted to such a path, the lock_file::filename buffer is overflowed. Fix the problem by adding a check when entering lock_file() that the original path is less than (PATH_MAX - 5) characters.

2011-03-17Name make_*_path functions more accuratelyLibravatar Carlos Martín Nieto1-2/+2
Rename the make_*_path functions so it's clearer what they do, in particlar make clear what the differnce between make_absolute_path and make_nonrelative_path is by renaming them real_path and absolute_path respectively. make_relative_path has an understandable name and is renamed to relative_path to maintain the name convention. The function calls have been replaced 1-to-1 in their usage. Signed-off-by: Carlos Martín Nieto <cmn@elego.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-01-12lockfile: show absolute filename in unable_to_lock_messageLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-2/+3
When calling a git command from a subdirectory and a file locking fails, the user will get a path relative to the root of the worktree, which is invalid from the place where the command is ran. Make it easy for the user to know which file it is. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
