The order in which various files that make up a single (conceptual) packfile has been reevaluated and straightened up.

2021-09-09pack-write: split up finish_tmp_packfile() functionLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-9/+13
Split up the finish_tmp_packfile() function and use the split-up version in pack-objects.c in preparation for moving the step of renaming the *.idx file later as part of a function change. Since the only other caller of finish_tmp_packfile() was in bulk-checkin.c, and it won't be needing a change to its *.idx renaming, provide a thin wrapper for the old function as a static function in that file. If other callers end up needing the simpler version it could be moved back to "pack-write.c" and "pack.h".

2021-09-09pack-write.c: rename `.idx` files after `*.rev`Libravatar Taylor Blau1-1/+1
We treat the presence of an `.idx` file as the indicator of whether or not it's safe to use a packfile. But `finish_tmp_packfile()` (which is responsible for writing the pack and moving the temporary versions of all of its auxiliary files into place) is inconsistent about the write order. Specifically, it moves the `.rev` file into place after the `.idx`, leaving open the possibility to open a pack which looks "ready" (because the `.idx` file exists and is readable) but appears momentarily to not have a `.rev` file. This causes Git to fall back to generating the pack's reverse index in memory. Though racy, this amounts to an unnecessary slow-down at worst, and doesn't affect the correctness of the resulting reverse index. Close this race by moving the .rev file into place before moving the .idx file into place. This still leaves the issue of `.idx` files being renamed into place before the auxiliary `.bitmap` file is renamed when in pack-object.c's write_pack_file() "write_bitmap_index" is true. That race will be addressed in subsequent commits.

2021-09-09pack-write: refactor renaming in finish_tmp_packfile()Libravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-21/+16
Refactor the renaming in finish_tmp_packfile() into a helper function. The callers are now expected to pass a "name_buffer" ending in "pack-OID." instead of the previous "pack-", we then append "pack", "idx" or "rev" to it. By doing the strbuf_setlen() in rename_tmp_packfile() we reuse the buffer and avoid the repeated allocations we'd get if that function had its own temporary "struct strbuf". This approach of reusing the buffer does make the last user in pack-object.c's write_pack_file() slightly awkward, since we needlessly do a strbuf_setlen() before calling strbuf_release() for consistency. In subsequent changes we'll move that bitmap writing code around, so let's not skip the strbuf_setlen() now. The previous strbuf_reset() idiom originated with 5889271114a (finish_tmp_packfile():use strbuf for pathname construction, 2014-03-03), which in turn was a minimal adjustment of pre-strbuf code added in 0e990530ae (finish_tmp_packfile(): a helper function, 2011-10-28).

2021-09-07pack-write: skip *.rev work when not writing *.revLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+3
Fix a performance regression introduced in a587b5a786 (pack-write.c: extract 'write_rev_file_order', 2021-03-30) and stop needlessly allocating the "pack_order" array and sorting it with "pack_order_cmp()", only to throw that work away when we discover that we're not writing *.rev files after all. This redundant work was not present in the original version of this code added in 8ef50d9958 (pack-write.c: prepare to write 'pack-*.rev' files, 2021-01-25). There we'd call write_rev_file() from e.g. finish_tmp_packfile(), but we'd "return NULL" early in write_rev_file() if not doing a "WRITE_REV" or "WRITE_REV_VERIFY".

2021-04-01pack-write.c: extract 'write_rev_file_order'Libravatar Taylor Blau1-11/+25
Existing callers provide the reverse index code with an array of 'struct pack_idx_entry *'s, which is then sorted by pack order (comparing the offsets of each object within the pack). Prepare for the multi-pack index to write a .rev file by providing a way to write the reverse index without an array of pack_idx_entry (which the MIDX code does not have). Instead, callers can invoke 'write_rev_index_positions()', which takes an array of uint32_t's. The ith entry in this array specifies the ith object's (in index order) position within the pack (in pack order). Expose this new function for use in a later patch, and rewrite the existing write_rev_file() in terms of this new function.

2021-03-01Merge branch 'jt/transfer-fsck-across-packs'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+7
The approach to "fsck" the incoming objects in "index-pack" is attractive for performance reasons (we have them already in core, inflated and ready to be inspected), but fundamentally cannot be applied fully when we receive more than one pack stream, as a tree object in one pack may refer to a blob object in another pack as ".gitmodules", when we want to inspect blobs that are used as ".gitmodules" file, for example. Teach "index-pack" to emit objects that must be inspected later and check them in the calling "fetch-pack" process. * jt/transfer-fsck-across-packs: fetch-pack: print and use dangling .gitmodules fetch-pack: with packfile URIs, use index-pack arg http-fetch: allow custom index-pack args http: allow custom index-pack args

Teach index-pack to print dangling .gitmodules links after its "keep" or "pack" line instead of declaring an error, and teach fetch-pack to check such lines printed. This allows the tree side of the .gitmodules link to be in one packfile and the blob side to be in another without failing the fsck check, because it is now fetch-pack which checks such objects after all packfiles have been downloaded and indexed (and not index-pack on an individual packfile, as it is before this commit).

2021-01-25pack-write.c: prepare to write 'pack-*.rev' filesLibravatar Taylor Blau1-1/+119
This patch prepares for callers to be able to write reverse index files to disk. It adds the necessary machinery to write a format-compliant .rev file from within 'write_rev_file()', which is called from 'finish_tmp_packfile()'. Similar to the process by which the reverse index is computed in memory, these new paths also have to sort a list of objects by their offsets within a packfile. These new paths use a qsort() (as opposed to a radix sort), since our specialized radix sort requires a full revindex_entry struct per object, which is more memory than we need to allocate. The qsort is obviously slower, but the theoretical slowdown would require a repository with a large amount of objects, likely implying that the time spent in, say, pack-objects during a repack would dominate the overall runtime.

2018-08-29convert "oidcmp() == 0" to oideq()Libravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
Using the more restrictive oideq() should, in the long run, give the compiler more opportunities to optimize these callsites. For now, this conversion should be a complete noop with respect to the generated code. The result is also perhaps a little more readable, as it avoids the "zero is equal" idiom. Since it's so prevalent in C, I think seasoned programmers tend not to even notice it anymore, but it can sometimes make for awkward double negations (e.g., we can drop a few !!oidcmp() instances here). This patch was generated almost entirely by the included coccinelle patch. This mechanical conversion should be completely safe, because we check explicitly for cases where oidcmp() is compared to 0, which is what oideq() is doing under the hood. Note that we don't have to catch "!oidcmp()" separately; coccinelle's standard isomorphisms make sure the two are treated equivalently. I say "almost" because I did hand-edit the coccinelle output to fix up a few style violations (it mostly keeps the original formatting, but sometimes unwraps long lines).

2017-09-27avoid looking at errno for short read_in_full() returnsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+6
When a caller tries to read a particular set of bytes via read_in_full(), there are three possible outcomes: 1. An error, in which case -1 is returned and errno is set. 2. A short read, in which fewer bytes are returned and errno is unspecified (we never saw a read error, so we may have some random value from whatever syscall failed last). 3. The full read completed successfully. Many callers handle cases 1 and 2 together by just checking the result against the requested size. If their combined error path looks at errno (e.g., by calling die_errno), they may report a nonsense value. Let's fix these sites by having them distinguish between the two error cases. That avoids the random errno confusion, and lets us give more detailed error messages. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2017-03-28odb_mkstemp: write filename into strbufLibravatar Jeff King1-6/+6
The odb_mkstemp() function expects the caller to provide a fixed buffer to write the resulting tempfile name into. But it creates the template using snprintf without checking the return value. This means we could silently truncate the filename. In practice, it's unlikely that the truncation would end in the template-pattern that mkstemp needs to open the file. So we'd probably end up failing either way, unless the path was specially crafted. The simplest fix would be to notice the truncation and die. However, we can observe that most callers immediately xstrdup() the result anyway. So instead, let's switch to using a strbuf, which is easier for them (and isn't a big deal for the other 2 callers, who can just strbuf_release when they're done with it). Note that many of the callers used static buffers, but this was purely to avoid putting a large buffer on the stack. We never passed the static buffers out of the function, so there's no complicated memory handling we need to change. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
2017-03-28do not check odb_mkstemp return value for errorsLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
The odb_mkstemp function does not return an error; it dies on failure instead. But many of its callers compare the resulting descriptor against -1 and die themselves. Mostly this is just pointless, but it does raise a question when looking at the callers: if they show the results of the "template" buffer after a failure, what's in it? The answer is: it doesn't matter, because it cannot happen. So let's make that clear by removing the bogus error checks. In bitmap_writer_finish(), we can drop the error-handling code entirely. In the other two cases, it's shared with the open() in another code path; we can just move the error-check next to that open() call. And while we're at it, let's flesh out the function's docstring a bit to make the error behavior clear. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
2017-03-24encode_in_pack_object_header: respect output buffer lengthLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+4
The encode_in_pack_object_header() writes a variable-length header to an output buffer, but it doesn't actually know long the buffer is. At first glance, this looks like it might be possible to overflow. In practice, this is probably impossible. The smallest buffer we use is 10 bytes, which would hold the header for an object up to 2^67 bytes. Obviously we're not likely to see such an object, but we might worry that an object could lie about its size (causing us to overflow before we realize it does not actually have that many bytes). But the argument is passed as a uintmax_t. Even on systems that have __int128 available, uintmax_t is typically restricted to 64-bit by the ABI. So it's unlikely that a system exists where this could be exploited. Still, it's easy enough to use a normal out/len pair and make sure we don't write too far. That protects the hypothetical 128-bit system, makes it harder for callers to accidentally specify a too-small buffer, and makes the resulting code easier to audit. Note that the one caller in fast-import tried to catch such a case, but did so _after_ the call (at which point we'd have already overflowed!). This check can now go away.

2016-07-29sha1_file: drop free_pack_by_nameLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+0
The point of this function is to drop an entry from the "packed_git" cache that points to a file we might be overwriting, because our contents may not be the same (and hence the only caller was pack-objects as it moved a temporary packfile into place). In older versions of git, this could happen because the names of packfiles were derived from the set of objects they contained, not the actual bits on disk. But since 1190a1a (pack-objects: name pack files after trailer hash, 2013-12-05), the name reflects the actual bits on disk, and any two packfiles with the same name can be used interchangeably. Dropping this function not only saves a few lines of code, it makes the lifetime of "struct packed_git" much easier to reason about: namely, we now do not ever free these structs.

2013-12-30pack-objects: implement bitmap writingLibravatar Vicent Marti1-0/+2
This commit extends more the functionality of `pack-objects` by allowing it to write out a `.bitmap` index next to any written packs, together with the `.idx` index that currently gets written. If bitmap writing is enabled for a given repository (either by calling `pack-objects` with the `--write-bitmap-index` flag or by having `pack.writebitmaps` set to `true` in the config) and pack-objects is writing a packfile that would normally be indexed (i.e. not piping to stdout), we will attempt to write the corresponding bitmap index for the packfile. Bitmap index writing happens after the packfile and its index has been successfully written to disk (`finish_tmp_packfile`). The process is performed in several steps: 1. `bitmap_writer_set_checksum`: this call stores the partial checksum for the packfile being written; the checksum will be written in the resulting bitmap index to verify its integrity 2. `bitmap_writer_build_type_index`: this call uses the array of `struct object_entry` that has just been sorted when writing out the actual packfile index to disk to generate 4 type-index bitmaps (one for each object type). These bitmaps have their nth bit set if the given object is of the bitmap's type. E.g. the nth bit of the Commits bitmap will be 1 if the nth object in the packfile index is a commit. This is a very cheap operation because the bitmap writing code has access to the metadata stored in the `struct object_entry` array, and hence the real type for each object in the packfile. 3. `bitmap_writer_reuse_bitmaps`: if there exists an existing bitmap index for one of the packfiles we're trying to repack, this call will efficiently rebuild the existing bitmaps so they can be reused on the new index. All the existing bitmaps will be stored in a `reuse` hash table, and the commit selection phase will prioritize these when selecting, as they can be written directly to the new index without having to perform a revision walk to fill the bitmap. This can greatly speed up the repack of a repository that already has bitmaps. 4. `bitmap_writer_select_commits`: if bitmap writing is enabled for a given `pack-objects` run, the sequence of commits generated during the Counting Objects phase will be stored in an array. We then use that array to build up the list of selected commits. Writing a bitmap in the index for each object in the repository would be cost-prohibitive, so we use a simple heuristic to pick the commits that will be indexed with bitmaps. The current heuristics are a simplified version of JGit's original implementation. We select a higher density of commits depending on their age: the 100 most recent commits are always selected, after that we pick 1 commit of each 100, and the gap increases as the commits grow older. On top of that, we make sure that every single branch that has not been merged (all the tips that would be required from a clone) gets their own bitmap, and when selecting commits between a gap, we tend to prioritize the commit with the most parents. Do note that there is no right/wrong way to perform commit selection; different selection algorithms will result in different commits being selected, but there's no such thing as "missing a commit". The bitmap walker algorithm implemented in `prepare_bitmap_walk` is able to adapt to missing bitmaps by performing manual walks that complete the bitmap: the ideal selection algorithm, however, would select the commits that are more likely to be used as roots for a walk in the future (e.g. the tips of each branch, and so on) to ensure a bitmap for them is always available. 5. `bitmap_writer_build`: this is the computationally expensive part of bitmap generation. Based on the list of commits that were selected in the previous step, we perform several incremental walks to generate the bitmap for each commit. The walks begin from the oldest commit, and are built up incrementally for each branch. E.g. consider this dag where A, B, C, D, E, F are the selected commits, and a, b, c, e are a chunk of simplified history that will not receive bitmaps. A---a---B--b--C--c--D \ E--e--F We start by building the bitmap for A, using A as the root for a revision walk and marking all the objects that are reachable until the walk is over. Once this bitmap is stored, we reuse the bitmap walker to perform the walk for B, assuming that once we reach A again, the walk will be terminated because A has already been SEEN on the previous walk. This process is repeated for C, and D, but when we try to generate the bitmaps for E, we can reuse neither the current walk nor the bitmap we have generated so far. What we do now is resetting both the walk and clearing the bitmap, and performing the walk from scratch using E as the origin. This new walk, however, does not need to be completed. Once we hit B, we can lookup the bitmap we have already stored for that commit and OR it with the existing bitmap we've composed so far, allowing us to limit the walk early. After all the bitmaps have been generated, another iteration through the list of commits is performed to find the best XOR offsets for compression before writing them to disk. Because of the incremental nature of these bitmaps, XORing one of them with its predecesor results in a minimal "bitmap delta" most of the time. We can write this delta to the on-disk bitmap index, and then re-compose the original bitmaps by XORing them again when loaded. This is a phase very similar to pack-object's `find_delta` (using bitmaps instead of objects, of course), except the heuristics have been greatly simplified: we only check the 10 bitmaps before any given one to find best compressing one. This gives good results in practice, because there is locality in the ordering of the objects (and therefore bitmaps) in the packfile. 6. `bitmap_writer_finish`: the last step in the process is serializing to disk all the bitmap data that has been generated in the two previous steps. The bitmap is written to a tmp file and then moved atomically to its final destination, using the same process as `pack-write.c:write_idx_file`.

2013-12-26do not pretend sha1write returns errorsLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+1
The sha1write function returns an int, but it will always be "0". The failure-prone parts of the function happen in the "flush" callback, which cannot pass an error back to us. So we just end up calling die() during the flush. Let's just drop the return value altogether, as it only confuses callers into thinking that it might be useful. Only one call site actually checked the return value. We can drop that check, since it just led to a die() anyway.

2013-12-05pack-objects: name pack files after trailer hashLibravatar Jeff King1-7/+1
Our current scheme for naming packfiles is to calculate the sha1 hash of the sorted list of objects contained in the packfile. This gives us a unique name, so we are reasonably sure that two packs with the same name will contain the same objects. It does not, however, tell us that two such packs have the exact same bytes. This makes things awkward if we repack the same set of objects. Due to run-to-run variations, the bytes may not be identical (e.g., changed zlib or git versions, different source object reuse due to new packs in the repository, or even different deltas due to races during a multi-threaded delta search). In theory, this could be helpful to a program that cares that the packfile contains a certain set of objects, but does not care about the particular representation. In practice, no part of git makes use of that, and in many cases it is potentially harmful. For example, if a dumb http client fetches the .idx file, it must be sure to get the exact .pack that matches it. Similarly, a partial transfer of a .pack file cannot be safely resumed, as the actual bytes may have changed. This could also affect a local client which opened the .idx and .pack files, closes the .pack file (due to memory or file descriptor limits), and then re-opens a changed packfile. In all of these cases, git can detect the problem, as we have the sha1 of the bytes themselves in the pack trailer (which we verify on transfer), and the .idx file references the trailer from the matching packfile. But it would be simpler and more efficient to actually get the correct bytes, rather than noticing the problem and having to restart the operation. This patch simply uses the pack trailer sha1 as the pack name. It should be similarly unique, but covers the exact representation of the objects. Other parts of git should not care, as the pack name is returned by pack-objects and is essentially opaque. One test needs to be updated, because it actually corrupts a pack and expects that re-packing the corrupted bytes will use the same name. It won't anymore, but we can easily just use the name that pack-objects hands back. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-12-21Appease Sun Studio by renaming "tmpfile"Libravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-3/+3

Factor out a small logic out of the private write_pack_file() function in builtin/pack-objects.c. This changes the order of finishing multi-pack generation slightly. The code used to - adjust shared perm of temporary packfile - rename temporary packfile to the final name - update mtime of the packfile under the final name - adjust shared perm of temporary idxfile - rename temporary idxfile to the final name but because the helper does not want to do the mtime thing, the updated code does that step first and then all the rest.

2011-02-27index-pack --verify: read anomalous offsets from v2 idx fileLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+17
A pack v2 .idx file usually records offset using 64-bit representation only when the offset does not fit within 31-bit, but you can handcraft your .idx file to record smaller offset using 64-bit, storing all zero in the upper 4-byte. By inspecting the original idx file when running index-pack --verify, encode such low offsets that do not need to be in 64-bit but are encoded using 64-bit just like the original idx file so that we can still validate the pack/idx pair by comparing the idx file recomputed with the original.

2011-02-27index-pack: --verifyLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-10/+16
Given an existing .pack file and the .idx file that describes it, this new mode of operation reads and re-index the packfile and makes sure the existing .idx file matches the result byte-for-byte. All the objects in the .pack file are validated during this operation as well. Unlike verify-pack, which visits each object described in the .idx file in the SHA-1 order, index-pack efficiently exploits the delta-chain to avoid rebuilding the objects that are used as the base of deltified objects over and over again while validating the objects, resulting in much quicker verification of the .pack file and its .idx file. This version however cannot verify a .pack/.idx pair with a handcrafted v2 index that uses 64-bit offset representation for offsets that would fit within 31-bit. You can create such an .idx file by giving a custom offset to --index-version option to the command. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
